Systolic And Diastolic Pressures Close Together

Mugabe's Zimbabwe: Inside a dictatorship


After the end of the Rhodesian State 1980 and the victory of Mugabe's ZANU troops from other independence movements, was the former guerrilla leader to about to install a repressive system that ruined his people and disenfranchised. 2010 disclosed Wikileaks documents - specifically, a report by Christopher Dell, U.S. ambassador to Zimbabwe, from 2007 - show how the U.S. determine the situation.
For over 20 years, we read in the Western press the expropriation of white farmers by Mugabe's henchmen and the resulting agony of agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism. Mugabe reportedly serious condition, reported in late January 2011 in the media, should be cause for looking into Zimbabwe.
is interesting that Mugabe's land reform, and elsewhere in Africa - is brought against open or covert sympathy, not only thousands of white farmers were killed, but also black rural residents - for example in the bud in Namibia and South Africa. Ambassador Dell writes: "While thousands of white farmers saw their properties seized, hundreds of thousands of dog black Zimbabweans lost their livelihoods and were reduced to utter poverty . "

In its letter Dell to state that Mugabe has survived as long as political because he was cunning and ruthless than any of his domestic opponents and he regularly manages to be pushing the object in the defensive: " To give the devil his due he is a brilliant tactician and has long thrived on his ability to abruptly change the rules of the game, radicalize the political dynamic and force everyone else to react to his agenda . "
Anders predicts as Dell, is Mugabe's regime since 2007, not under pressure from the ongoing economic crisis and the growing impoverishment of large sections of collapsed. To date, neither a largely ineffective fighting cholera epidemic, with more than 4,000 dead or new inflation record-breaking Mugabe's power. Also ongoing speculation and some credible reports in the media about the fact that Mugabe and his clan are personally involved in illegal transactions - such as in the illegal diamond trade and professional poaching - did not lead to international condemnation. The same is obviously true for the black market in significant and systematic looting police involved Mugabe.

Robert Mugabe "The Old Man "(86)

Dells idea that Mugabe will be ousted by the best that free, equal and secret elections held under international supervision appear unrealistic - even if Dell South Africa's ex-President Thabo Mbeki in the process ascribes a key role. Mbeki has been shown to be significantly as a supporter of Mugabe. Even after the handover in South Africa by Mbeki to Jacob Zuma is not a paradigm shift in terms recognizable to Zimbabwe.
The relations of the former guerrilla organizations ANC in South Africa and Zanu-PF in Zimbabwe, whose thinking is still too much in each case derived from the armed struggle against white governments are to still too narrow. Some African media even suspect that the removal of Mugabe's Zanu by the democratic opposition, or even parts of the population of the governments of South Africa and also Namibia (SWAPO) as the signal of the replacement of the former civil war-winner could be. As the youngest end of Tunisia's autocratic ruler for unrest in Libya and Egypt, as seen also fear other formerly successful guerrilla leaders that sustained economic failure is not more populist "land reforms" regulated may be grounded, but is based on profit and also could lead to their separation.

wife Grace Mugabe (46) Grabbin 'Grace

The U.S. wants to admit South Africa also does not seem to continue to support the ailing regime in Zimbabwe in order to preserve an apparent regional stability - ultimately at the expense of the population in Zimbabwe (" we must guard against letting Pretoria dictate an outcome Which perpetuate the status quo at the expense of real change and reform ").

As the only serious domestic political opponents of Mugabe, who is also suitable for mass production, consider the U.S. obviously opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai ( only player on the scene now with real star quality and the ability to rally the masses. But Tsvangirai is therefore a flawed figure , not readily open to advice, indecisive and with questionable judgment in selecting those around him . "). But he was not in a position to lead the country after Mugabe. On its own force, the opposition to U.S. opinion, not be successful.
Even within Mugabe's organization, there is increasingly critical voices, but contacts of the Zanu Ambassador to note that it no prospect of change is, as long as the "Old Man" remains in power - an almost sounding after the final stage of the DDR formula.
The power he seems to want to give too far - ". his ego and belief in his own infallibility " speak against his now 18 doctorates would seriously encourage him to want to determine economic laws themselves. On the contrary, expects Dell to the fact that Mugabe will fight to the end (" he will not go quietly nor without a fight. He wants to cling to power at all costs "). However, Mugabe is now no longer lived if opponents to him massively oppose would.
is no surprise to note that almost all potential opponents little format, about to throw the rudder, but in the meantime everyone almost viable business men, politicians, businesses located etc. abroad: " They are the opposition's natural allies " .

alternative scenarios are therefore
1) that Mugabe understands that he will relinquish the power needs to be a free man die - what's been portrayed as unrealistic (" The only scenario in Which He might agree to go with a modicum of good grace is one in Which He concludes that the only way to end his days a free man is by leaving State House ")
2) that a presumably bloody civil war breaks out, which pulls the fall of his regime after themselves - even if Mugabe die unexpectedly or be killed or replaced (" a popular uprising would inevitably entail a bloodbath, even if it were ultimately successful; Mugabe's sudden, unexpected death would set off a stampede for power among ZANU-PF heavyweights ... Similarly, some form of 'constitutional. coup 'ie, a change at the top engineered within the framework of ZANU-PF's' legitimate' structures could well prove to be Merely the opening bell in a prolonged power struggle )
3) that Mugabe was an inflatable rule over the capital and a few areas supported and controlled some still profitable key industries, while the country and its people starve without international aid (" that Mugabe concludes he can settle for ruling over a rump Zimbabwe ... the critical forces of the National Reserve Force and CIO and a few key assets - gold, diamonds, platinum and Air Zimbabwe to fund the good times Under this scenario the rest of the country, in. one of the comrade's favorite phrases, could 'go hang' ").
;
It seems high time that neither Mugabe nor him - in supporting forces neighboring countries - ostensibly from ideological motives - Can now hope for a looking away, or even the tolerance of the West - such as other former guerrillas from the ANC to SWAPO. If even the disenfranchisement of mostly white farmers was criminal, it was tacitly accepted in the withdrawn effects on the economic situation of the black majority even more so. With the issue of land reform in southern Africa last again like to "play" and the non-functioning and the serious corruption of the police is also often overlooked - especially when joy events take place such as the FIFA World Cup (albeit under massive array of foreign government and private security forces). Mugabe seems to show how long you can get away with it. It remains to be seen how ill he is and whether he will be able to fully exercise his power further.

Revolver HW 357 Target Trophy of incense


Whether hunter or sports shooter - almost every legal brief gun owners has a revolver in the gun cabinet. Although authorities in the sector is now almost entirely supplanted by the decaying self-loading pistol (except the security and CIT Commercial), boasts the revolver in the private sector is still very popular. The market for sports revolver is relatively straightforward:
undisputed top dog, Smith & Wesson revolver with numerous models such as the classic 686th Here the Ruger and the Brazilian company Taurus, which convinces above all with very reasonable prices. Besides the big three, there is Dan Wesson in the USA, Manhurin from France and Rossi from Italy.
In Germany, the selection is even smaller, until a few years to put in the Schleswig-Holstein Ratzeburg in the armory of William Kortz revolver from her world ranking - often outrageously expensive single pieces. Also in the north of Germany, the company is located Jantz - this one is proud to produce the only correct caliber Magnum (above the .44 Magnum) in Europe.

The company incense from the Bavarian Mellrichstadt in this country better known for their low-cost air pistols and rifles. Less well known is that incense produces brilliant large caliber weapons with an excellent price-performance ratio. Sun incense lies now behind the brand "Arminius," running in the U.S. for decades under the name "Vindicator". The range extends from the short arms of catch-and tracking-shot revolvers for under the Action of Single Western revolver for shooting to advanced sports revolvers in .22 LR and .357 Magnum.


The flagship is the HW 357 Target Trophy, both in stainless steel optics and is browned. Optimal provides the incense Sechsschüsser with compensator (note Sportordnung!) From. This turret is also charged hard at Magnum cartridges good in the hand and moves only slightly from the target. The shooter chooses HW357 also the match between an ergonomic handle and the compact Combat version of reddish walnut. With its massive barrel shroud makes the HW 357 Target Trophy a robust impression - reinforced by extra wide trigger and tap. The striker is on the inside. Standard equipment includes the weapon has an adjustable trigger and a trigger stop. With it, the deduction can be overcome by the pressure point and set limit.

has the weapons magazine Sight tested in August 2008, several revolvers under a new purchase price of Euro 1000 and came to the surprising conclusion that the best HW 357 Target Trophy not only compared models by Ruger in terms of precision, ammunition compatibility and reliability behind it can also includes the more expensive market leader Smith & Wesson 686 on. Consequently, the incense was given the title Revolver "Recommended".

So why is this cheap to German quality standards and manufactured independently APPROVED revolver still a rarity on the German shooting ranges? Objectively incomprehensible reasons, the rifle is an image problem - many shooters turn up on the Target Trophy nose because their opinion is not worth for what costs nothing. Or so the discussions are in progress in the relevant fora, such as weapons online. Very few of the critics have held there to expression of the target Trophy but ever in hand let alone fired. The author, after over two years and several championships the incense-Sport Revolver seriously assess: The gun shoots well, is completely reliable - a property which it is often denied - meticulously crafted. The finish is right and the Target Trophy makes a truly quality and aesthetic character.

The big hand arms market makes sure to create the Target Trophy . Cheap used Ruger and S & W models are currently in wide range available. Who but a small budget just looking for a six-inch model is the can in good conscience but also to be advised of this weapon.

Finally, a note for hunters: catch firearms of incense with prices of less than 300 € without competition and many details are consistent with the big brother Target Trophy for the young hunters on a budget, so make an option.

headquarters weapons storage nonsense


are regular calls for central storage of private legal weapons and / or ammunition was available but are rarely substantiated the usefulness and practicality of such a subpoena discussed.

For example, an application called the Group of the Left, to the German Bundestag on 23/03/2009: "a general Ban on the storage of firearms in the home and, unless there are exceptions, must give, in addition to strict security arrangements, unannounced inspections to determine. Firearms are to be defined according to safety at sports clubs and other suitable places to store to constantly monitor and be. The safety standards include the acquisition of the previously existing requirement for the possession for the separate storage of weapons and ammunition. The storage places or areas must be secured independently from each other. "
The idea of central storage of weapons is a relic of the GDR state and injustice arises from the general suspicion towards their citizens. The allocation of limited
hunting guns every year in the GDR, only about 100 pieces of line politically loyal and deserving citizens - mostly officials. More will hunting weapons were state property and had to for the duration of the hunt for the "people's police" borrowed. This practice was even in the former Eastern Bloc unique.
was on sporting arms only within the sports and youth organizations, whose task was in part a pre-military training, and in the formation of the repressive "armed forces" so as the army, border troops and national security are available.
private collections of weapons were unknown in the GDR.
include demands for central storage, the storage at the police and / or properties of shooting sports and / or hunting associations. This is not only due to practical and economic considerations impossible, but also legally highly questionable and there is also a fundamental misconception.

Practical obstacles
With approximately 400,000 hunters and shooters to get a million to a number of 1.4 million legal gun owners who require an almost permanent access to their weapons.
is hunted especially (because of our standing with vigorous leisure-pressure areas) in the late evening or night hours and in the early morning hours (still hunting) and on weekends (society hunting). Weapons are not only borrowed for several hours hunting near the residence, but also grounds for some several weeks hunting trips abroad and also for overnight trips, which are far away from the residence (and residence not Pachtort identical or invitation or commercial hunt in another's territory).
hunters and shooters to train in particular also at times outside normal office hours (evenings and weekends) and take part in training or in competitions outside of their home - and abroad. Because of the limitations of individual cases substantially different ranges (eg, bullet type, caliber / muzzle energy, distance, different requirements Schrot-/Kugel-/Kurzwaffenstände) they even have to use different items.
to all borrowing and return operations of 1.4 million hunters / shooters the periods referred to police officers (storage at the police) and / or separately examined individuals or members of security firms (in storage properties of Jagd-/Schützenorganisationen) are available. However, there are pages on the hunter usually no real estate, in which weapons might be stored. A Conservancy as a local subdivision has not usually have their own constant and the few properties of Hunting Associations (LJV) are in particular in the area of countries such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg entirely removed several hours by the members. In addition, one must not be a member of a hunter in the LJV.
For weapons collectors a central storage makes no sense, because for him the need for precisely the compilation of the valuable collection of cultural history and the work it is. If the collector can not even rely on the collection, is his need no longer exists. Apart from the fact that there is no collector organizations, collectors weapons could be stored. The preservation of this heritage would be greatly endangered. Today's chronically underfunded and often threatened the very existence of museums is not an alternative (see Military History Collection Koblenz).

Economic barriers
If you wanted to implement, despite the pragmatic obstacles at least at the central storage of shooters and go out only 5,000 shooters worldwide, one should first calculate the economic costs.
Instead of the decentralized, anonymous storage of small arms and ammunition quantities at home while protecting a residential building in an inhabited in the control area would have a much higher protection effort are (remote buildings because of the noise emission uninhabited, and not regularly monitored, structurally often below the level of a house, very large weapons and quantities of ammunition). In addition to the necessary restructuring vulnerability of these buildings - roughly comparable to the armories and ammunition depots in barracks - a permanent surveillance. Given the necessary level of protection and from work for legal reasons it would require a two-man teams that would have to be increased for each object on six to ten full-time employees to cover shifts and holidays and other vacancies can that would earn in each case not less than 1,500 € net ( plus the employee's share of the social security etc.). Further, labor required modifications to the staff would be incurred. It is clear that in these a total of several billion comprehensive Costs, of which a significant proportion would be permanent (staff costs other than the one-modification costs), the shooting would be impossible in practice.

Legal obstacles
would be legally to investigate the extent to which a compulsory storage of legally acquired weapons against the will of the owner has character and even expropriation unenforceable. Even if the gun owners in the compulsory storage of non-ownership is removed from the weapons, but it temporarily and largely taken possession of his weapons. As the possession of the property but significant expression is, there is a restriction of the ownership of essential function and of the essence. This should be a wave of lawsuits inevitable. Also, would the question of compensation - possibly even asking for compensation for damage caused by game, and particularly where the hunting would make it difficult or impossible under these conditions at certain times. The least expected would be a year-long, too expensive legal battle with several individuals and hunting, shooting sports, collectibles and weapons Legal rights organizations.
;
Basic inability of the central storage
The actual storage of weapons is only part of the idea of "Central Storage". A key would be sophisticated and oversee procedures for procurement of weapons. As shown, extends the hunting and sport, not the residence of the hunter or shooter, and includes not only hours, but certainly for several days or weeks (event, special training opportunities such as shooting movies or long-range state, distant hunting grounds, hunting trip) and with very irregular and often poor borrow and return dates. At the latest by the central storage is reduced to absurdity, because if you can get every time one of these purposes, weapons and ammunition, then you can also order almost any time any Abuse drive.
;
As this analysis shows the central storage solves a single problem, however, created some great new ones.

Mobile Al Gay Cruising

bolt action CZ 455 in .22 LR and .17 HMR


Searched for a solution to the fight against predators in the area, which is equally suitable for the small bore shooting range. Were considered different, unsatisfactory solutions: A bolt action in .22 LR caliber for both purposes, the purchase of two expensive weapons in different calibers or the waiver of one of the two options. With the launch of the new CZ 455, which leaves a slight change of caliber, the choice was clear.
New CZ 455 bolt action follows the proven CZ 452, basically since the late 50s changed little was, however, has a number of improvements. In view of our hunting and training requirements, the slight change of caliber is the most essential. The new repeater is it in calibers .17 HMR, .22 LR and .22 WMR. When you buy a model example in .22 LR requires only one removable drive and a new magazine - in our case for .17 HMR - and one is for all the challenges provided excellent. Thus one can simultaneously firing extremely affordable, ammunition and shooting range suitable for the relatively new, highly precise Varmintkaliber. The barrels are easily changed by two-to-use screws. This compilation is in the United States - unlike Germany - directly as "CZ 455 American Combo Package sold.

Standard, Luxury and Varmint
There are three versions of the 455: the standard Version (wood stock, 52.5 inch barrel with sights), the luxury version (walnut stock, checkering on the pistol grip, the same drive as standard) and the Varmint version (walnut stock with checkering, 50 inch match barrel).
The other parameters are the same: In addition to flexibility is certainly another this aspect. The new 455 has a reliable wing safety, the firing pin and lock off. Since not with a rifle or similar gepirscht is what is appropriate.
Another criterion is a direct knock-off. Also has the 455th It is adjustable.
The gun comes with 5 - or 10 sold-shot magazine (magazine). The shaft has no jaw.


The old 425 and the new 455
The 455 with its cylinder lock and locking her double first outside look very old to the 452nd There may be some marketing considerations that speak for it (recognition, self-similar evolution), the problem is undoubtedly the major visible changes (shorter barrel, barrel change option, tighter tolerances) the superficial Viewer missed. And length and weight may vary: The 455 weighs 2.8 kg (452: 3 kg) and measures a total of 98 cm (452: 108 cm). Fortunately, can be 425 - and 455-replace magazines. CZ tried here not to make an extra business.
As before, the run is cold hammered and worked the receiver from a solid piece of steel. Already the 425 there were in .22 LR and .22 WMR. A new addition is the caliber .17 HMR.
2009, the old version will cost around 430 € in caliber .22 lr, you will find the 455 in the standard version of the same caliber as early as 390 euros. Moreover, in this case, a standard barrel in .17 HMR (140 €) and a new 5-shot magazine (40 €). So it is the whole set for under 600 €. This may, in view of the many 100 - and 200-small-bore rifles € Egun appear at much, but here you get a new and highly accurate rifle, with which you can have longer-term happiness.


The caliber
The rimfire cartridge of caliber .17 HMR, .17 Hornady announced Magnum Rimfire was introduced by Hornady at the SHOT Show 2002nd She misses with relatively low cost very precise munitions at still lower noise. Manfred Rosenberg points out that the .17 HMR quieter and cheaper than the alternatives .17 Rem, .22 Hornet and .222 Rem is the same but much more precise and effective than the .22 LR and other 22-er rimfire cartridges. He calls it a "revolutionary and equally extremely precise high-performance ammunition, the .22 WMR established simply put in the corner" and the permit could be up to 100 m 5-shot scattering circles of 20 mm diameter. The cartridge is said in various forums that pollute at relatively fast the run. This view is not represented, however, all known users. Especially in this case, can this point - provided sufficient forward cleaning - neglect, because the training can be done with the .22 LR barrel and the .17 HMR is reserved primarily for hunting use. The costs are as hollow-point cartridges for 100 (CCI) at 28 €.

developed in 1887 and .22 LR rimfire cartridge ( long rifle - English name .22 Lr, Long Rifle) ammunition, among other things characterized by low cost and low noise. Presumably it is the world's largest in the quantities produced cartridge. The costs are, for example at a sporting cartridge (CCI) at 100 pieces for under 8.50 euros. The American Eagle by Federal is even only around € 5.20. The hunting version of the .22 LR (CCI Mini Mag) is still only 10 euros.

The company has its own certification or CZ (Czech weapons factory), was established in 1918, was privatized in 1993 and 1939-45 producer for the German Wehrmacht. In the history of CZ play assault rifles, machine guns (Scorpio) and pistols an important role.

My Elbow Is Swollen And Hot

The Left, the weapons and hunting


the firearms legislation and hunting policy positions of a party presumably the ultimate goal of communism is - a system that requires the removal of the free democratic basic order and is responsible for millions of victims? Can this party - and it was only at the local level - on issues affecting the liberty and property rights of citizens (such as expropriation and taxation of weapons possession or restriction of land ownership associated with the hunting laws) take seriously? Make your own self-judgment.
know from the gun laws we talk enough of the position of the left, as it comes through as a request to the German Bundestag on 23/03/2009 expressed. There has demanded among other things: " a general ban on the storage of firearms in the home and, unless there are exceptions, must give, in addition to strict security arrangements, unannounced inspections to determine. Firearms are to be defined according to safety at sports clubs and other suitable places to store to constantly monitor and be. To the security standards is the adoption of the previously existing requirement for the possession for the separate storage of weapons and ammunition. The storage places or areas must be secured independently from each other. "

recovery time secret powers - the infamous gun lobby
In the left hand close to and in proportion owned newspaper the New Germany "was found under the title" friendly neighbors with the finger on the trigger "a text on firearms legislation with following statements: "Somehow you wonder if you have not heard for a long period of school shootings - so much so, these incidents have become the norm. ... This is partly because the German weapons law is so complicated that even experts can not see through. Unless they are paid by the gun lobby. ... You should not follow him [Lars Winkelsdorf, author of "weapons Republic of Germany"] perhaps in the view that in Germany - unlike, for example, in the U.S. - was no gun lobby. It is true that this country stand in the front row of the weapons do not advocate groups such as oxygen or Walther. No, they send, recreational athletes' and 'hunter' - many of them behind with the abbreviation MP name - prior to their leisure time do not wish to regulate. A case for social psychologists is the issue of all: Free ride - and fire-free - for free citizens ...?"
In the first moment after reading up their own cynicism wide. Sure, in the GDR, there were hunting rifles only on loan from the "people's police" and - of course there only temporarily and carefully controlled - in the hands of members of other organs of repression such as the notorious state security or of the recreational warriors in the operation of task forces (combat groups of the working class ") or in the" National People's Army "or border guards or in the pre-military training in different organizations. And critics in the Soviet bloc were also quickly labeled as mentally ill and disappeared in clinical psychiatry. And have been behind every adversity or criticism dark and secret from (such as West German or even American) industry-funded powers assumed (our relatively good knowledge of the few financially chronically damp and volunteer organizations, where concerned citizens prohibits any comparison with an actual "lobby" as we for example, from genetic engineering, nuclear industry or the unions know). cause a result, this article and the central storage demands of the Left are not initially on the factual dispute. We want to try anyway.

square the circle in the GDR: continuous militarization in total population disarmament

nonsense central storage
Hunting in East Germany - and thus the availability of hunting weapons - was, as Backyard Safari already has worked out well, closely tied to political loyalty line. Thus, there quoted: "Unlike in the Federal Republic and other socialist countries, the hunters had in the GDR not own guns, but had to borrow these from the local police forces. The weapons were state property and could be removed only for the duration of the hunt. This action was due to the immense need for security of the State whose organs first names of the weapons allocation for the individual game companies. ... The very few private hunting weapons in the hunters, a year of which DDR far officially only 100 were awarded, went to the socialist sense especially . Earned huntsmen, which has generally good relations with officials "
This fear of the GDR regime prior to" own "population speaks volumes: even in the Soviet Union were allowed guns and - but regulated more and less hunters - carriers are possessed. The same usual nepotism and the privileges of a small clique of East German officials, who exercised the hunting part intensively expected, even by hard-line Apolo Genten be difficult to justify. The second major contradiction to the arms of the GDR phobia is the desired state militarization of society and the role the "armed forces".
The theme central storage, despite its inglorious history, and the background to this totalitarian measure not surprisingly, died out - if only it indeed appeared not even to feel sorry for the reference to the GDR. In weapons online someone writes: "The former police chief Gunkel, SPD MP, has requested the hearing on 15.06.2009 in parliament as one of the SPD-weapons law Profiled again made clear that he was not explain why such a central storage will not go because it would have been in the GDR finally working well. "We can not verify if this is true, but similar claims from the Mini-Trade Union Federation of German Detectives (BDK) into central storage are certainly easy to find. It does not seem to be aware as to what role police played in the fatal totalitarianism - particularly through the administration of a general suspicion towards the citizens and their participation in administrative harassment.
The unknown author in weapons to central storage online is also an interesting statement: "There are 7-11 million sharp legal firearms in private hands in Germany. ... Consequently, we would need about 10,000 weapons caches with 1,000 live fire weapons in Germany. 10,000 - which is about the number of German Protect homes, but where would be the most unsuitable in the approach to the storage of such weapons and quantity are often far apart. In addition to expensive (re) construction would require a round-the-clock surveillance of (also on the safety of the guards) one team of 2 guard forces. In a 40-hour week and full shifts in holidays, Sundays and public holidays, this requires approx. 10 (ten) permanent, full-time security professionals every arsenal. The Left wants to present a minimum wage of 10 EUR / h, which would be justified in this non-hazardous job, too. This makes a monthly salary of approx 1670 EUR gross, with wage costs, AG shares in the SV so loose and so 2500 EUR / month. 10,000 stockpile a 10 man = EUR 2.5 billion annual surveillance costs, "the author notes, aptly, that would, paradoxically, make exactly the left to the sport of shooting into a sport for rich people.
However, we do not believe that the central storage is the final stage of weapons left right fantasies. For us, it seems more likely that no serious interest in this is practically impossible Aufbewahrungsart, but the shooting will disappear - even the small-bore target shooting.
plausible Regardless of the model calculation, it should be noted that military and police depots around the clock not only alarmed, and structurally and technically assured, but also with armed guards and / or stripes - including dogs stripes - are guarded (including infrastructure for security personnel in accordance with safety and labor law minimum requirements). Depots from civilian shooting clubs with weapons quantities of 1,000 or less would have to nearly the same requirements - that is already independent of the personal measures significantly beyond what is described in weapons online. Moreover should be developed sophisticated and controlled method for the removal of weapons , because at least so far may a shooter on several levels shoot - sometimes he has the even when there are different registrations of bullet type (full metal jacket, soft point), cal / muzzle energy (KK, GK, limiting the muzzle energy), different distances or other restrictions. Definitely need to protect drivers on tournaments and hunting at night to hunt at night and on weekends - and at the latest since the central storage ad absurdum, because when I look every time can get weapons and ammunition, when I want, I can therefore still against any possible abuse drive. Legally, the question would be to appreciate the extent to which a compulsory storage of weapons against the will of the rightful owner has ever expropriation character and enforceable. Even if this were enforceable, and all legal remedies had been exhausted, would raise the question of compensation - possibly even asking for compensation for damage caused by game, and particularly where the hunting would make it difficult or impossible under these conditions at certain times. It is to our knowledge, enough people who would be willing to exhaust all remedies. The central storage thus solves a single problem, however, produced some great new ones.

normal Ganz, here to pick up the hunting rifle? (People's Police)

hunter = rich, incompetent Schiesser?
The Left talks about the game at times as if it states that it is an elitist pastime, and seems also the forest and the forest industry to consider more important than the game. The new hunting law in the Saarland was also adopted with the consent of the Left.
One of the crudest claims is on the left - so the hunting association of Baden-Württemberg summarized and quoted: "In principle, in Germany with the lease of the land and hunting rights to land managers in [a lovely word] can be transferred "Such a patchwork of mini-plots, each tenant (whether forestry, fish farmer or farmer) hunt -. or shoot, we say better - must correspond, hardly one of sustainability and Hege-based hunting.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, they speak the Left also called for a ban on trapping : "They are neither humane nor selective enough to represent an appropriate hunting practice." Of course, this claim is not substantiated. Why live catch traps, for example, where the hunter an examination makes the catch, not selective enough, is certainly not yet been explained by anyone. With the reality of the existing North Rhine-Westphalia hunting law, that statement has to do in any case very little. It is your simple ignorance of hunting and hunting rights. But put "stop the trophy cult by the Hunting Act" main thing the left wants as the state of Hesse.
Under the title "Hunting is a shot in the oven," says the "new Germany": "Because there are too many deer, the conversion is difficult ahead of the pine monoculture to mixed forest. ... In Brandenburg live on 100 acres of forest on average ten Deer reported that the Ministry of Agriculture responsible for the forest department manager. Seek value would be two to five deer. Agriculture Minister Jörg Vogel Singer (SPD) wants for this reason more hunters. There is a lack of talent. , Do not shoot animals is popular, but it's necessary. " The harsh winter would likely reduce the populations because animals starve. That would be the normal course of nature. But feed irresponsible hunters who are keen to get as much game in his sights. Here is prohibited. It is only allowed to sow a little food to attract the animals and then immediately shoot. "
Also in this text we do not know whether to laugh or cry. Aha must be fed only in the form of minimal feeding place, for immediate launch. Sure, that's what the legislature meant by the commitment to the fostering the Hunting Act. A few grains of corn hinstreuen, aufbaumen on the high level. Peng. Forest saved.
means Elsewhere in the same newspaper: "Not enough hunters in Thuringia forest. Only someone who has more than 75 hectares, is available free to go to the game. ... About 10 350 Thuringian have a hunting license. This number is constant, according to Gebhardt past five years - but for the growing wildlife too low. ... Since the beginning of November during the high season of the hunter. The trees had already lost a lot of leaves, so that you can see the game well. In addition, the fields are harvested and the wild boars come back into the forest. According to Gebhardt as large community should now move up to a hundred hunts with hunters and their dogs will be organized. Many of hunting, however, went rather be alone or in small groups on the prowl. "Again, again a reluctant hair. Snow, Futternot, winter of the century. No matter. Good vision. A company of hunters to enter and then attack. End the sentimentality of the dignity of creation and the need of the game in the winter. The area we would like to see plays that just has seen the incidence of a hundred foreign fighters and many trigger-happy hounds. This has with hunting as we understand nothing, but to do absolutely nothing more (What actually say BUND, PETA and all the other regular guests on talk shows?).
But suits especially this indirect call for the population in the largest possible participation in the shooting of wild game, total ban on arms and ammunition in private hands? And who are these people, on the one hand demand the total disarmament of the citizen, with the expropriation of legally possessed weapons, and the curtailment of basic rights is linked, and have shot the other hand, the forest empty do?
We believe it is not excluded that the left would express themselves much hunting enemy, if not the remains of old squad, where hunting has been practiced at the East German era, bizarrely, with enthusiasm, but only in small circles that militate against it. Thus, a high-ranking former Stasi officer wrote in his memoirs that he was a keen hunter, but hunting is no longer performing because they had become unaffordable. Somehow, most hunters I know, I have played so far, not to be wealthy.

Ordinary hunters? Erich Honecker with hunting friends
The Left, the "Young World" and the "New Germany"
The left developed from a fusion of the SED's successor party, the PDS, which its predecessor the Socialist Unity Party of Germany's major institution of the repressive East German regime was, and the party WASG (labor and social justice).
For criticism of the Party shall include mergers within the Left and the Anti-Capitalist Left "(no government participation without fulfilling programmatic preconditions) and" Communist Platform "( Communist positions must remain in the party, end goal remains the socialist society). The Federal Office for the Protection of the party recognized in 2006 (before the merger) "evidence of anti-constitutional activities", and continued even after the merger in 2007 and 2008 observation. It was said among other things, "How far in, Left Party 'act openly extremist forces in the Party of the Left' away." In Lower Saxony, Hesse, Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria, the Left will now continue to be monitored by the Constitution. The Communist Platform is also observed in East Germany. Because of programmatic statements of the CSU party leader called for in January 2010, the comprehensive monitoring of the left.
were in the ranks of the left and there are former employees of the State Security, which arrived in the German state parliaments and Bundesstag. Most recently, after the state elections in Brandenburg in 2009 revealed that three more members (in addition to four already known) secret police collaborators were. Furthermore, the draw was disputed by members of the German Communist Party (DKP) on the lists of the PDS and the left in about 20 mostly local parliaments.
The party chairman Klaus Ernst and Gesine Lötzsch have provided various reasons for significant negative headlines. When the going was rather the lifestyle, writes Bild am 30.07.2010: € 17,000 Ernst currently receives. ... Ernst confessed Porsche drivers and farmers in the Tyrolean Alps, a mountain pasture with views of the 'Wilder Kaiser' is. ... Ernst countered: "I must not poor, are to be against poverty '. Lötzsch however, dreams seem further from communism - but more open than their colleagues dared to articulate this before. So they put in the Financial Times Germany "tight Marxist newspaper, Junge Welt '" on the occasion of Rosa Luxembourg Conference on 01/08/2010 (on "Where is your's to communism?"), Where also a senior member DKP and should address the ex-terrorist Inge Viett a clear commitment to communism from outraged not only the CDU / CSU and SPD, but also Spiegel Online ("In the middle is committed to the program debate, party leader Gesine Lötzsch to communism. In the Marxist-Journal, Young World 'has placed them a text - it is missing any critical word about the crimes that were committed in the name of ideology "). Lötzsch writes: "The way to communism, we can see only when we make our way and try them out ... In any case, there will be no one way, but a great many different ways that lead to the goal. No matter which path leads to communism, all agree that it is a very long and difficult. ? Why "Der Spiegel commented:" The logic is that of a trained Lötzsch Leninistin: After Communism is always the end of the story, only then the path is uncertain. Mankind is encouraged to seek this path - of course under the guidance of the party. And of course after the fall of civil society. ... Where your drives towards the left? And who really wants in this country to communism, "The Financial Times Germany writes seemingly surprised:" Lötzsch even rows back to the far post, but scoffs at Spiegel Online ... The 'enraged slating' there only show how insecure is the establishment. "

The illustrious group of the Left in North Rhine-Westphalia, which currently does not condone the SPD minority government from which we can expect significant changes during the hunting rights if they stay long enough in office will, among other things made by people who belong to the Anti-Capitalist Left or the Red means that - "are supported, according to security sources violent left" that supported by the Federation of Kurdish Associations, the organization "Azadi" belong to the - - so the focus then the focus - "is supported by his own admission, criminalized Kurdish 'and which were formerly excluded from the SPD and were members of the DKP. Ironically, against the left-Presidents of North Rhine-Westphalia city is also suspected to have acted with weapons of war. Spiegel Online writes: "Hämmerle [Group Chairman, the left] side activity was in connection with a murder case to light. In January [2010] An eye doctor was killed by gunfire from a British submachine gun. The weapon of the type Sten MK II had sold Hämmerle the physician. Apparently this was not the only weapon that had provided the council politicians. In 2006 he is said to have sold a Kalashnikov AK-47 and an Israeli Uzi submachine gun. ... My client does not know exactly the legal position, said Hämmerle lawyer .... "

The " Young World", the former propaganda the "Free German Youth (FDJ), the world today, according to Online" has a reputation as a neo-Stalinists Journal, "now has a chief editor of the" offensive to his past as a Stasi spy "is. existent since 1947, and their paid circulation of over 1.6 million copies, slipped to only about 17,000 (not independently verified information). Their characteristics are not only numerous internal squabbles, including editorial appointments and Emergency Issue, but also the organization of these conferences Rosa Luxembourg and the observation by the protection of the Federal Constitution . He assessed, we propagate the establishment of a socialist society, both individual members and numerous editorial writers were among the "left-wing extremist spectrum" of. Not least partly be recognized violence as a tool in the fight against capitalism and imperialism (but that surprised no one when the East German support for ANC and SWAPO in southern Africa remembers).

The so-called "New Germany", which describes itself as a socialist daily newspaper was from 1946 to 1989, the central organ of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and thus an important factor in the Propaganda and the retention of power of the repressive SED regime. By 2007 it belonged to the SED successor to the PDS and is today a 50 percent two societies, one is acting as fiduciary for the links. The "New Germany" was in the communist era on more through absolute loyalty line, than real journalism. Legendary is an issue for the opening of the Leipzig Fair with 41 photos of the former State Council Chairman Erich Honecker. As expected, the shrinking Circulation of one million in the GDR today around 37,000 to an increasingly aging readership copies sold - such as an obligation of a very small regional newspaper. Among the authors there are people in almost the entire left to-left spectrum, as well as the Socialist Alternative and the Autonomous.

Even if they will never understand: hunting has to do with freedom to do

Communism in many parts of the world has the 20th Century and characterized by violent towards defeat of his opponents before coming to power, through state repression, liquidating opponents and promote instability and terrorism as enemy understood States to answer for millions of deaths. Like a common thread of fatal opposition of the communists in for the Social Democrats through history. A supported by armed terror reign is not an anomaly of Stalinist communism, but repressive secret there has been since the Cheka in any communist state and forced labor camps (gulags) and deportations are not an invention of Stalin. The consequences of a centrally planned economy were from the Soviet Union to China and are also enormous because of famine and disease with partly adopted over 50 million people.
Even if today the victims of the Hungarian uprising, the Prague Spring, the Polish Solidarity and the 17th June in Germany to be honored few, but we find in Germany is still not everywhere a serious treatment instead of Communist injustice, and in much of the German public's lack of awareness of the suffering of the victims living among us. A visit to the memorial Hohenschönhausen For example, especially if you are led by a former prisoner who is one of the most impressive demonstrations of the crimes of the GDR and the freedom of the will of the people.
This alone should be incentive enough for us, right-arms or hunting political nonsense of the Left decided to oppose.

DSU: Legal advocacy for weapons possession (not) a topic? The economy of the East German spy

turn of the year 2010 / 2011 sent the German Shooting Union (DSU) a letter to their members. Although the topic was addressed legal gun ownership, the opportunity to encourage their members to openly take a stand one clear unambiguous own position internally and externally, but has abandoned the DSU. The case is symptomatic of some sports federations. shooting alone justifies our view, however, no association membership more.
It states: "The year 2010 is again overshadowed by a horrific event of the murder victims in Lörrach Once again, we see ourselves in the shooting. Obligation to justify our sport. Once again, tightening can be expected in the gun law. Again we are out in the media, the arguments against gun ownership in mind. Again, we argue against the concern for the survival of the shooting sports. ... We should be approached even with all due objectivity but also the human element to us. This includes the fact that we are also the victims of Lörrach thoughts. ... For us, this means we turn to our fellow human beings. To see if he needs comfort and encouragement. "Then it continues with combined internal and sporting highlights of 2010 as well as thanking
The letter angered a number of reasons.
The first reason is the mind of their own, optional link target shooting and crime. What has to do the shooting with the crime of Lörrach? Lörrach is the case the first thing one should think about legal gun ownership and shooting sports and the public in 2010? Are the case Lörrach and regret for the only official letter to the members of a shooting sports club in 2010? We find that we just as much or as little as anyone else have to do with the case in Lörrach. We can see no reason it lightly to make a central issue in retrospect - and a closer relationship to help provide under the deed with.
The second reason the deplorable passivity that can be derived from the further description ("the obligation to justify our sport," "expected in tightening gun laws," "arguments against gun ownership before eye out "). We believe it is not just about the justification of the shooting sports. It is about the justification of the private legal gun ownership in general. We see this commitment not only as a "duty", but to defend this right and so decided to defend like we like each other right against arbitrary and populism would. We see not a single further tightening of the gun laws as given, but to insist on the contrary to the facts of the relaxation of the firearms legislation and remove unnecessary and sometimes discriminatory elements. And finally, we mean: there are no valid arguments against private gun ownership - regardless of whether sportsmen, hunters or collectors affected. This has for example the Association of weapons technology and history well in 2009 worked out.
see also other outdoor performance by the DSU is not sustainable to support the legal possession or even targeted publicity work in this direction. So on the website the DSU all kinds of youth work, sports regulations, etc., and some old members of journals to download (to 2003). There is no general account, for example, to questions like "Why is shooting" or "What does the shooting sports youth and adults," let alone possibly even arousing emotions pictures of exciting events and the great atmosphere that there is some there. Whether this is omitted on purpose or lack of professional public relations, we can not say. Undoubtedly but we feel this as a lack of support for the legal possession of a firearm . It is sufficient in our opinion, no longer, the forum to include weapons law or to encourage the members to join the Association of Sponsors for legal gun ownership, such as the DSU has done this in a 2009 Newsletter . We find that an association with 14,000 members, not only in shooting sports and should get involved in youth work, - as the DSU certainly exemplary does - but also internally and externally for our rights with a clear position must occur . Words such as the Association has found 2009 ("outdo After the terrible incident of Winnenden our leaders almost daily with new ideas and proposals towards ban legal gun ownership. ... As part of our small way we have tried to avoid the worst limitations as a complete ban on large-caliber shooting. ... Here is the shocking realization of how quickly our democratically elected politicians are willing to elementary and civil rights protected by the Basic Law, such as the Unverletzlicheit the apartment to sacrifice on the altar of populism. ") Should stay on key positions include an association, like the shooting and the legal gun ownership are up for grabs.
however, should in our opinion, internal friction, such as those sometimes the way the past three exclusive weapons rights organizations identify with each other (we do not discuss who is responsible for what), just be omitted. Too bad that the weapons law Forum text under "Important Notices" prominently published, look at where you have: "... would certainly be no doubt that the FWR to represent the interests of legitimate possession of a firearm in Berlin ... but not only accredited, and this seems more relevant is accepted with a great deal of credit as a competent partner and talk and talk. In that sense I have in connection with the accreditation of pro-legal and FvLW be read here and there, underlying assumptions completely incomprehensible. ... is therefore important that you not only available anywhere, but that one is present at the right time and can play a part, where it is required. ... who work and familiar approach of the FWR, know that we sit around in this not year idly and wait for things to come could there. ... But it prohibits the characteristics of our work under the old slogan 'Open ye good and talks about it' live. "
Frankly, we are like many other legal gun owners of the unnecessary separation and the praises of their own work tired. How different are the efforts of organizations ever, is important but what results they achieve in order for the legal gun ownership. And when an organization achieves a success - even if it is only one Accreditation - then this is for everyone else, enjoyable. As we have pointed out elsewhere point, we encounter enemy weapons everywhere and at all levels. Why they should therefore not encounter the same.
The good intentions of the weapons laws, shooting sports, hunting and weapons collectors organizations must therefore 2011 include: "Let us decide to use sustainable and heard for the legal gun ownership" and "We do not want to work against each other but professionalize our work steadily and we measure our success can be."

Cough Bloody Fleshy Mucus




offers the demise of the GDR, the historically unique opportunity for in-depth insight into the quality and quantity of work of a modern intelligence service in general and in its industrial espionage to get in particular.
The transferability of the results to other countries is limited by the fact that
a) states, the conduct economic espionage today, so with different intensity and other details (especially technical) to do when the GDR before 1989 and
b) characterized industrial espionage by competitors naturally also through other ways and intensity.
;
Yet There is, first parallels, what principles, techniques, basic knowledge interests and the difficulty of utilizing information retrieval and concerns analysis and secondly, one can conceive of economic espionage in the GDR because of their undoubted quality and quantity, except for its technical capabilities as a worst case scenario for the target of attack ( eg with respect to resources, access to society, politics and business, the range of options and motivation of leaders).

relevance of economic espionage in the GDR
Although the interest is surprisingly low in the industrial espionage of the GDR - in contrast to the interest in espionage against the West German policy or against the media and the military and their own services - is among the experts this range hardly denied that the Stasi worked with a hand-to overwhelmingly excellent intelligence quality. For them, not only society but also political, military and even the economy of the Federal Republic, "an open book" as Muller-Enbergs formulated that successfully infiltrated. Whether the implementation of their findings successful, is another question.
Main Intelligence Directorate (HV A) established in 1989 over 3,300 full time employees, over 700 officers in special uses and as many full-time employees Unofficial (IM). Of the 15 per cent were set on the government, 14 percent to the parties, 25 percent to the military and as many as 52 percent on economic issues (13 percent biology, energy, chemicals, 17 percent of electronics and electrical engineering, 22 percent engineering and embargo goods) . The sector Science and Technology (SWT), the HV A established in 1989 over 400 people and there was also industrial espionage in particular in the form of procurement Stasi by other organizational units and the area of Commercial Coordination (KoKo) instead.
The questions of who was spying for the Stasi as an IM or an officer on special assignment (OIB) and how and why these people were active today clarified. Contrary to popular belief commonly only 7 percent of the agents were introduced into the Federal Republic, 6 percent were - as a business visitor from the West - addressed at the Leipzig Fair and won, 11 percent were as travelers from the East limited in the Federal Republic of active and 58 percent were recruited on the recommendation already active IM.
The motivation was at 60 percent of the IM, the conviction at 27 percent of material interests, at 7 percent personal constraints (eg extortion with incriminating material) and at 4 percent, the false pretenses (for example, gave themselves the agents of the German Democratic Republic as members of Western services).
The Stasi turned on object studies to companies and institutions, and in 1989 invaded in about 150 companies and institutions in the Federal Republic. It shows the files that as many as 85 sources provided documents from Siemens, with apparently only 8 sources at Siemens were automatic. The analysis was conducted by approximately 184 employees in a central evaluation unit, including scientists with access to current literature and congresses.

experience reports such as that of full-time employee A-HV Hans Eltgen show that industrial espionage even with appropriate training of agents (Eltgen was a physicist and intelligence officer) without direct access to target organizations not as good as is possible. Eltgen promoting agents out of conviction, against payment of money or because of personal reasons (eg the intention of the alleged son of the late best friend to lead to more work) to.
The example computer clearly shows the boundaries of the East German industrial espionage. Thus, the GDR purchase although obscured by 1970 some 12 IBM computers and it was also from 1973 80-100 computer to produce itself, Macrakis, but not nearly reached its computer industry the importance of even small Western states, and remained until the last uncatchable back years behind the western stand. Apparently even have the sizes of the Stasi tried to avoid the PR activities of the political leadership to sell the results obtained by espionage knowledge as a personal contribution - at least maintains the Werner Grossmann, the last head of East German intelligence.

Leipziger Messe: City of countless initiations

indicator of economic espionage in the GDR
first The industrial espionage has - like the rest of espionage - put great continuity and patience on the day and, for example in the 50's agent smuggled into the Federal Republic, which until the 80s were active, or Students recruited and encouraged young people to relevant studies to them years later to use part of a decade in positions with insights into relevant topics. About 5 percent of the agents was in use since the 50s, half were longer than 10 years active.

second The spy could take, despite its apparently accurate picture of the situation of the Federal Republic and the West as a whole, neither the political leadership, the fear of a preemptive strike of the West, nor eliminate the misconception that the catch up with economic backwardness of non-market conditions such as Dörrenberg be emphasized.

third The spy of the GDR could gain despite successful procurement of information and goods embargo no successful computer industry. For this purpose, neither the economic situation of the GDR was likely still in the industry of the situation. On the contrary seems to be the absence of competition in addition to the have prevented foreclosure by the West and their own repressive system, that information could be used successfully.

4. The HV A apparently suffered despite the narrowness of its technical resources in an information overload, that even with the large number of committed scientists and other experts was not controllable.

5th It can scarcely be estimated, which sum due to the GDR industrial espionage saved (development costs) and was taken (by his own industry sales) and what caused the success. In addition to personnel costs and other costs would also have the cost of procurement will be added to embargo of goods (especially since the purchases made in foreign currency). The insistence on the goal of wanting to self-produce computer and successful refractive embargo has ultimately caused a bottomless pit, in the foreign exchange disappeared. Thus, the illegal procurement of technology helped usher in the end of the GDR, Buth.

6th Apparently, in the economic field there are no active measures have been carried out, that is deception on a larger scale (eg on the economic situation of the GDR), sabotage against West German companies and industries (eg, using the initiation or promotion of critical non-governmental organizations) or attacks on the West German economy Total (for example, the German currency Mark, the German capital market or the image of "Made in West Germany").

7th Obviously playing in the East breaking the embargo and the reconstruction of Western products an essential role in economic espionage.

lessons of the industrial espionage of the GDR
first It can be assumed that industrial espionage from other countries today but may not have the continuity of the GDR, but at least takes a medium-term perspective and therefore already interns, undergraduates and graduate students can be introduced deliberately. Furthermore, may still be trying to get candidates on the long detour of a few relevant point in an interesting target position.

second Access to information and even their correct evaluation does not necessarily mean that the political and economic decision-makers to either a filtered) and interpreted or manipulated results are obtained, or b) interpreted this wrong due to their own setting.

third The economic situation and the state of the industry is crucial to the usability of information and analysis. is in fact in other states and their economies and business innovations that are appropriate only where there are between invention and exploitation, that is, production short distances. Even with excellent information gathering and analysis, the success on it, these results also incorporate beneficial to the recipient. If states, sectors of a country or company is not technically "on par" with the counterparts are the target country, it will be difficult for them to benefit from economic espionage. This should not in many projects in third world countries or emerging economies is not the case. If these states educate their domestic industries through economic espionage to dependence on pulses from the outside, Innovations despite saving development time and costs of information and may be delayed for pirated technology is neither service nor spare parts by time delay in the procurement are possible, they may weaken rather than strengthen.

4th Although the GDR obviously primarily on human intelligence supported it suffered from too much information. Today is used in all relevant intelligence extensive signals intelligence added. The danger of information overload is therefore even greater, while the number of such staff is not upgradable to the same extent as in East Germany was possible. At the same time many of the services of third world and emerging countries are also engaged in extensive repression against its own citizens at home and abroad.

5th The way in the struggle, some third world countries and emerging markets with industrial projects - particularly in the defense sector - similar to the behavior of the GDR (as in the case of computer industry). Just as it is questionable in some of the sense of the cost savings and the image and loss of confidence in the spying States.

6th The idea of active measures is not as strange as it seems at first glance. While it is for a state, the primary interest in attracting and use of information from another is counter-productive, this damage to be done. But in the face of international conflicts with boycotts and attacks on infrastructure are not looking for active measures by the hand of opportunity.

7th The reverse engineering, the reconstruction of, for example by breaking embargo derived products, is now the world - for example on a larger scale in Asia - more common, as for the wedding of the GDR. This is likely next to the replica of arms is one of the greatest future threats to other industries are located (eg state-sponsored generic industry, that is, strategic production of generic products).
