Housekeeping Note/Correction: Last week's news on the nationwide average price for used AR-15s was false, due to a calculating error. Last week's average price was $390, only $3 from the historic low of $387, not $318. The statement that this is the second time the average price has dropped to below $400 is true, as is the statement that all states had posted used AR-15s in the $400 to $499 range and below.
I am sorry for the error. I f*cked up. That's my excuse.
Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition:
Pistol ammunition prices were mostly steady. Rifle ammunition prices were mostly steady.

Still a good price; sure seems like a buyer's market. Maybe a little early Christmas shopping...hmmmm..
(glances behind me to make sure wife isn't hearing what I'm thinkin).
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Every day passes on the ’Decisive Storm’ operation launching proves that it was the most important foreign military political decision taken by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and its most influential Gulf partner, the UAE.
Some had doubts, others attacked the Arab-Islamic alliance for confronting the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militias and their tottering alley Saleh. They strangely ignore that the Houthi is an ’organic’ part of the Iranian Khomeini Revolutionary Guards.
Al-Houthi overlooking the Jazan, Najran and South Dhahran, and its missiles, which are imported from Iran’s factories, hit Khamis Mushayt, Abha, Sabiya, Taif an area close to Mecca!
Today, while the Iran’s claw is in Yemen, Abdel Malek al-Houthi, forcibly subdue the sick man President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... , and arrogantly threatens the UAE and Saudi Arabia in an unprecedented escalating manner.
We do not know why the Houthi is that much confident ‐ same as the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... i rulers, but every disease has its medicine that cures it ‐ except foolishness which sickens he who tries to cure it.
Abdel Malek al-Houthi with a Khomeini trance, said in his speech which was broadcast in al-Maseera Channel: "UAE came in the range of our missiles", announcing that they made a "successful" missile experiment which he "claimed" would reach Abu Dhabi.
Blatant imitation
In a blatant imitation of his Lebanese role model - Hassan Nasrallah - Abdel Malek said: "The missile force was able to accomplish the post-Riyadh phase."
Do you remember Nasrallah’s speech about Haifa and post-Haifa?!
"If they want to secure their oil ships, then they should not invade Hodeidah," Abdel-Malek said with megalomania, addressing Riyadh.
It might be considered that the Houthi is making vain threats, to cover the dissent with the Congress Party and Saleh, or to bury the anger among the Yemeni people after three years of the coup. But it is necessary to seriously consider this speech, uproot the Khomeini claw from Yemen, and killing, or the anticipated al-Imam al-Zaidi comes back to Maran caves.
What the son of Saada said, would turn out to be disaster for him and for the Khomeini project in Yemen.
Yes, there are obstacles, of which the campaigns of the international organizations which was invaded by al-Houthi and the Khomeinists, but this is a matter of destiny, and the "brother" has reached the very point of deterioration.
For anyone who questions the legitimacy of the objectives of the Arab alliance, now Abdel-Malek al-Houthi gives the crystal clear reason that the mission must be accomplished no matter how much the costs are. "The time is in our favor, therefore, we are not in a hurry," said Mohammed bin Salman in his television interview, past May.
It is said that, "If ants had wings.... Then its end is close".

[ZeroHedge] "The shadow government controls the deep state and manipulates our elected government behind the scenes," Shipp warned in a recent talk at a Geoengineeringwatch.org conference.
Shipp had a series of slides explaining how the deep state and shadow government functions as well as the horrific crimes they are committing against U.S. citizens.
Some of the revelations the former CIA anti-terrorism counter intelligence officer revealed included that "Google Earth was set up through the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and InQtel." Indeed he is correct, the CIA and NGA owned the company Google acquired, Keyhole Inc., paying an undisclosed sum for the company to turn its tech into what we now know as Google Earth. Another curious investor in Keyhole Inc. was none other than the venture capital firm In-Q-Tel run by the CIA according to a press release at the time.
Shipp also disclosed that the agency known as the Joint Special Ops Command (JSOC) is the "president’s secret army" which he can use for secret assassinations, overturning governments and things the American people don’t know about.
FBI warrantless searches violate the Fourth Amendment with national security letters, which Shipp noted enables them to walk into your employer’s office and demand all your financial records and if he or she says anything about them being there they can put your supervisor in jail or drop a case against themselves using the "State’s Secret Privilege law."
"The top of the shadow government is the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency," Shipp said.
Shipp expressed that the CIA was created through the Council on Foreign relations with no congressional approval, and historically the CFR is also tied into the mainstream media (MSM.) He elaborated that the CIA was the "central node" of the shadow government and controlled all of other 16 intelligence agencies despite the existence of the DNI. The agency also controls defense and intelligence contractors, can manipulate the president and political decisions, has the power to start wars, torture, initiate coups, and commit false flag attacks he said.
As Shipp stated, the CIA was created through executive order by then President Harry Truman by the signing of the National Security Act of 1947.
According to Shipp, the deep state is comprised of the military industrial complex, intelligence contractors, defense contractors, MIC lobbyist, Wall St (offshore accounts), Federal Reserve, IMF/World Bank, Treasury, Foreign lobbyists, and Central Banks.
In the shocking, explosive presentation, Shipp went on to express that there are "over 10,000 secret sites in the U.S." that formed after 9/11. There are "1,291 secret government agencies, 1,931 large private corporations and over 4,800,000 Americans that he knows of who have a secrecy clearance, and 854,000 who have Top Secret clearance, explaining they signed their lives away bound by an agreement.
He also detailed how Congress is owned by the Military Industrial Complex through the Congressional Armed Services Committee (48 senior members of Congress) giving those members money in return for a vote on the spending bill for the military and intelligence budget.
He even touched on what he called the "secret intelligence industrial complex," which he called the center of the shadow government including the CIA, NSA, NRO, and NGA.
Shipp further stated that around the "secret intelligence industrial complex" you have the big five conglomerate of intelligence contractors ‐ Leidos Holdings, CSRA, CACI, SAIC, and Booz Allen Hamilton. He noted that the work they do is "top secret and unreported."
The whistleblower remarked that these intelligence contractors are accountable to no one including Congress, echoing the words of Senator Daniel Inouye when he himself blew the whistle on the shadow government during the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987.
At the time Inouye expressed that the "shadow government had its own funding mechanism, shadowy Navy, and Air Force freedom to pursue its own goals free from all checks and balances and free from the law itself."

Mr. B. I understand and share your hesitancy. In this country these days free speech is under attack. I have seen this when speaking to others from other parts of the world, "Oh, we can't say that in my country", look at Germany now. Then of course our Universities like Berkley.

The political impetus -- there were other, non-political, ones -- of the "60s protests" was this sense of power not being where it was supposed to be, what and where we were taught it was supposed to be and could see, as if through a mirror dimly, that it wasn't.
The political impetus of the Tea Party Movement / Trump Movement is essentially the same and just as justified.
If that is true, there is ground for expecting success from auspicious developments.
#6
"Shipp also disclosed that the agency known as the Joint Special Ops Command (JSOC) is the "president’s secret army" which he can use for secret assassinations, overturning governments and things the American people don’t know about."
That is the pot (CIA) calling the kettle (DoD) black, which itself is a false equivalence. An unworthy, fear-mongering and rather gorgeous bit of CIA misdirection, but not surprising.
Still, Democratic Administrations do tend to have high domestic body counts, all unsolved, and somebody has to be ordering that and somebody has to be making it happen.

The Goldwater-Nichols act, October 4, 1986 Pub.L. 99–433 took Special Operations Forces (SOF) funding away from the 'Big Army' and gave SOF their own budget. Pals before, SOF now became the dedicated handmaiden of an agency with a secret and by some accounts, unlimited budget. You lose funding, you lose control.
The rest is history.
The part about SOF being a private army of the president is hokum. The president is the Commander in Chief of the entire military. The relationship of SOF and the Klingon's solidified with Goldwater-Nichols.
#9
Once SOC was exposed to the public eye, they began to fall under the undiscriminating scrunity of the money handlers, thus lost their unaffiliated status.
JSOC operators are the best Americans I have known.
Small minded people with no identity of their own care.

Hey, Hey what did she say. Right on, hot stuff, right stuff. The dear celebrities are only going more insane. More of their righteous stuff to come. Movies, TV, media but then they wonder why they are dumped. The NFL disaster and ESPN will see the hit in their pocket book. Why?, because the people they are and represent don't spend their own money. The Democrats are finding that out now also. Should a media start up and wise up, the gold is is the vast majority who happen to love this country. Family, Faith and country. That is the glue they don't understand. They build their narratives upon false foundations that support nothing but emotions of the moment.

HA,HA I did an is is like the there there. Surprisingly this word repetition has caught on with the general public in everyday verbal communications.

They're celebrates because they have an ego with its own gravity. They act or sing which is not a talent to get 300 million people into the next decade alive, feed, and working.
It's like the weather. You don't plan your life around it...

As I've said many times before, the only reason that most people in Hollywood are famous is that they are better looking than the average person, and they are very good at pretending to be someone else, and saying things that somebody else wrote.

"Method" acting is basically the same as what some Serial Killer profilers do except actors may 'turn into' a dozen characters a year. Is it any wonder that actors go off?
That's not to say that the Method is entirely at fault, a number of folks with problems are drawn to the arts for some reason. There is a desperation to be loved going on, and in this case the love of fellow actors seems to be more important than logic.

Legislation introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) failed to pass on Wednesday that would have effectively ended the war in Afghanistan and the bombing of at least six other countries, after Paul’s Senate colleagues voted it down because he’s a whiny little girl.
Paul, who hates freedom and America generally, was seeking to put an end to the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, a law passed after the Sept. 11th attacks that allowed bombing of the terrorists responsible for it, the terrorists who hate the original terrorists, and Pakistani wedding parties.
“All I’m saying is if you’re going to have a war, at least have a vote on it,” Paul told reporters, desperately trying to convince them to ‘hold lawmakers accountable.’ “But of course, it’s too much to expect Congress to do anything that doesn’t involve dinner with lobbyists.”
In addition to his shameful forcing of the Senate to vote on whether to continue giving the president a blank check to drop Hellfire missiles on anyone he decides is a terrorist, Paul has in the past tried to force the National Security Agency to obtain a warrant before spying on American citizens.
“His constituents should be ashamed,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said.
Fortunately, 61 patriotic, freedom-loving members of the U.S. Senate voted against Paul’s liberal nonsense, including 13 Democrats.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] With the collapse of ISIS militia, its alleged state on the 16th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Hamza bin Laden emerges as the qualified person to reunite the Lion of Islam movements. He was one of the favorite sons for the late Osama bin Laden ... who used to be alive but now he's not... , the founder of al Qaeda, and the most supportive for the terrorist acts among his brothers.
According to a report published by the Counter Terrorism Center, Hamza is in his late 20s.. He was seven when Omar al-Bashir Continued on Page 49

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
