Iiiight! What's up B-Boys and Girls, we got mad shit to review so
|
|
let's kick this shit off right with the flava...
|
|
|
|
PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH "The Main Ingredient" - One word: DOPE!! This
|
|
album is straight butter! I loved this motherfucka from start to finish. The
|
|
production is consistent throughout the album and CL lyrics are at the top
|
|
of the motherfucking game. If Boogie Monsters was the tape for fall, this is
|
|
the definite slammer for the winter. The tracks are more laid back this time
|
|
than last but are all sure shots and PR has his little intros on most of his
|
|
cuts and in the liner notes thanks niggas for samplin his shits! The best
|
|
cuts on this definite winner are "Escapism" (PR flows slightly but the tracks
|
|
is so FUCKIN DOPE!!), "Worldwide" (Rob-O rips this track to threads!),
|
|
"It's on You" (CL makes his debut as a gangsta who ready to take care of
|
|
business!) There's is no way anyone who remotely likes rap should not buy this
|
|
album!!!
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * * 1/2 (4.5) Slammin just missed being a classic!
|
|
|
|
PARIS "Guerilla Funk" - This album dissapointed me. The P-Dog from
|
|
The Devil Made Me Do It has pretty much seemed to have died. Before your
|
|
black medallions in an uproar, he's still pro-Black but his productions
|
|
sounds like a lot of the West Coast (read G-Funk bullshit) music that's out
|
|
right now. The title track and "It's Real" if I didn't read the liner notes
|
|
I thought were produced by Dr. Dre. The rest of the CD is OK, with "Keep
|
|
Running", a nice mellow jam. "One Time 4 Yo Mind" is also pretty straight.
|
|
But the dopest and funniest song is "40 oz & A Fool" where Paris becomes
|
|
Paris Dogg more butter
|
|
to add to the verbal sandwich O.C. delivers. "Born to Live" is my favorite
|
|
song because of the track and the lyrics (although the reminiscing thing is
|
|
kinda played). "Point O Viewz" is fat as is "Constables" and "Ga Head" is
|
|
fucking stuck in my head and describes how any nigga feels when his lady
|
|
tricks off with another LADY?!?!
|
|
This is definetely a dope album and although I'd have liked more
|
|
tracks like "Time's Up" this is straight butter!
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * * (4/5) Slamming
|
|
|
|
BRAND NUBIAN "Everything is Everything" - First, I didn't buy the
|
|
second album cuz motherfuckas told me it was butt. (Then I realized the niggas
|
|
that said it was butt, fake ass wanna be bitches!) But, I was looking forward
|
|
to this and much to everyone else's (alt.rap) dismay, I like this shit. Yes,
|
|
this is not "One For All" II but these Gods are about taking heads and
|
|
educated youth. The biggest beef alt.rap peeps had was the fact that BN
|
|
advocated (or seemed to) guns and their use, but lets be serious... if niggas
|
|
want you or your shit, you got to protect self which is basically what they
|
|
saying.
|
|
"Word Is Bond" and "Nubian Jam" are more for the video shows but are
|
|
both musically and lyrically sound. "Alladat" has Busta Rhymes on the chorus
|
|
and the song talk about them bitches and nigga that think they all that.
|
|
"Step In Da Cipher" is a cipher jam where Serge, Maestro Manny and
|
|
Snaggapuss rip shit over a basic track. When are these kids gonna get signed?
|
|
"Off Da Head" is exactly that, Lord Jamar and Sadat X freestylin with some
|
|
pretty fat lyrics. The rest of the album is pretty nice but "Down for the
|
|
Real" is kinda uneven with the rest of the album cause it sounds like some
|
|
West Coast (gangsta-rap) shit. (not musically just topic-wise)
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * (3.5/5) Straight
|
|
|
|
KEITH MURRAY "The Most Beatifullest Thing in The World" - This album
|
|
really hurt. This kid has mad skills but has boring ass track. Will somebody
|
|
please tell Erick Sermon to try some new shit cuz the funk shit is giving me
|
|
added Z's. The lyrics throughout the album are phat with Keith's use of big
|
|
(usually not found in Webster's) words. I hate "Herb's Pumpin" and "Psycho-
|
|
ward" so please skip them. Standout cuts are "How's That" (with Redman and
|
|
Erick Sermon rapping), "Bom Bom Zee" (with Hurricane G), "Take It To The
|
|
Streets" (with LOD), and "Escape From The World". Basically, if you got spare
|
|
loot get it, otherwise save the papes and dub the songs you want.
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * 1/2 (2.5/5) Needs Work
|
|
|
|
That's it here, but I just got Redman and it's phat review in the
|
|
next issue of URBAN. That new Group Home single "Superstar" is dope
|
|
and I heard some new Kool Keith shit (something about murder in the
|
|
paper or something like that more next issue)

Yo, wassup kids this is that nigga Wisdom with the phat ass flicks
|
|
for you to peep so let's motivate...
|
|
|
|
"You So Crazy" - This Martin Lawrence movie is pretty straight and if
|
|
you have heard "Talkin' Shit" (his tape) then you might feel like I felt. The
|
|
shit was funny but I didn't really seem to be too much new shit in this one.
|
|
If you like Martin, you'll like this.
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * (3/5) A Hit
|
|
|
|
"True Lies" I had no idea this movie was going to be this funny.
|
|
(Intentional or not) This is the funniest Arnold Swartznegger(?!) has ever
|
|
done. The basis of this movie is that Arnie is a secret agent who saves the
|
|
free world, while masquerading as a computer sales guy. This movie is larger
|
|
(and funnier) than life. In on scene, Arnie plays a trick on his wife and
|
|
she (unknowingly) dances sexy for him and while pole dancing, loses her grip
|
|
and falls on her shit. Another scene involves Arnie being handcuffed and under
|
|
truth serum, tells his tormentor how he's goin to kill him and the guard and
|
|
when the doctor asks how, he replies that he picked his cuffs and he kills
|
|
the doctor.
|
|
This movie was pretty good if not unbelievable. I was very high with
|
|
crew when I watched this but we got our $1 worth, so catch this shit if you
|
|
can. the action is even pretty good.
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * (3/5) A Hit
|
|
|
|
"The Crow" - This was to be Brandon Lee's breakout movie and if he
|
|
were alive today we'd have fat ass flicks to watch while high! This movie,
|
|
high or not, is the fuckin bomb! The plot is... Brandon & his girl are killed
|
|
by a gang and he's resurrected for revenge against them. His powers lie with
|
|
a magical crow by his side. The fighting scenes are very well done and Mr.
|
|
Lee kicks ass like dad. The special effects and settings are so fuckin dope.
|
|
There's not much more to say but just see this movie and you'll love it!
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * * * (4/5) Slamming!
|
|
|
|
"Sugar Hill" This movie is in the mold of most drug dealer movies
|
|
except the drug dealer is trying to get out. Wesley Snipes plays a heroin
|
|
dealer in NY who has the blocks sewed up but meets a young lady and decides
|
|
he wants more out of life that drugs can give him. His lunatic brother is
|
|
his main man who runs shit right along with him and in the end turns into
|
|
his downfall. While trying to get out, the Italian who supply him and his
|
|
brother cross them and they cross back and a war ensues...
|
|
This film was straight, but I've seen this all before. Drug dealer
|
|
with heart of gold meets lady wants to settle down... Yawn! The action
|
|
scenes (the few that exist) are OK but this ain't the greatest flick that
|
|
Wesley ever did. If you got some extra $$$ see it, otherwise wait til HBO
|
|
gets it.
|
|
|
|
RATING: * * 1/2 (2.5/5) Needs some work
|
|
|
|
Well that's it for the TV type shit, but I'm gonna see Speed and
|
|
kick the 411 on that next time and I might have seen that Street
|
|
Fighter movie by then so look out!

FEMA File #1:

|
|
|
[From the CONTACT 5/31/94 with permission]
|
|
|
|
THE GREAT ELECTION
|
|
FRAUD OF 1994
|
|
|
|
A great legal fraud has come to light which must be resolved in 1994
|
|
or the elections normally held to fill all public offices may have to
|
|
be cancelled, nationwide, based on the statutes of fraud. Here are
|
|
the facts to be considered:
|
|
|
|
On March 9, 1933, the U.S. Congress delegated to Franklin D.
|
|
Roosevelt (FDR) the WAR POWERS--emergency rule by Executive
|
|
Order--(which temporarily SUSPENDED THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL
|
|
OF RIGHTS, hereinafter referred to, collectively, as CBR) in order to
|
|
deal with the [orchestrated] monetary crisis then existing. Much of
|
|
the bureaucracy with us today was created during the first one hundred
|
|
days of the FDR Administration, when most official acts were, delib-
|
|
erately, unconstitutional--but nobody cared because of the so-called
|
|
monetary crisis. This unconstitutional "bureaucracy" created in 1933
|
|
could only exist and operate WHILE EMERGENCY RULE REMAINED IN FORCE
|
|
AND THE CBR REMAINED SUSPENDED! Keep this in mind.
|
|
|
|
However, it soon became apparent to those [crooks] in the seats of
|
|
power that a permanent state of "emergency" was deemed necessary
|
|
if the unconstitutional (fully socialist) bureaucracy, created in
|
|
l933, were to remain functional and given some form of accepted
|
|
legality. To accomplish this without alerting the people, a practice
|
|
was developed [National Emergencies Act., Sec. 202(d)] whereby the
|
|
President transmits to the Congress (quietly) a notice to extend the
|
|
"emergency" for another year. President Clinton did his part on May
|
|
25, l993 when he "extended" the national emergency created by George
|
|
Bush the year before [Executive Order #12808] using the crisis in
|
|
Bosnia for the excuse. Clinton will have to repeat that "extension"
|
|
again in 1994, using the same, or some other, contrived "emergency"
|
|
to keep his fullv socialist and unconstitutional bureaucracy alive and
|
|
well for one more year.
|
|
|
|
But there is a far more sinister side to these yearly "extensions"
|
|
which we need to examine here and now. When the President "extends"
|
|
the Emergency, he also fully SUSPENDS AND NULLIFIES THE CBR WITH THE
|
|
FULL COOPERATlON AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONGRESS--BUT WITHOUT THE
|
|
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PEOPLE. It is NOT a media event. These are deliberate
|
|
and premeditated acts of TREASON and SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY TO
|
|
OVERTHROW the CBR by the Federal Government. It has resulted in
|
|
61-years of governing where the CBR has been "OFFICIALLY", BUT
|
|
SECRETLY, SHELVED. Now we know how and WHY unconstitutional bills
|
|
get legislated. (NAFTA, Brady Bill, etc.)
|
|
|
|
This "OFFICIAL" SUSPENSION OF THE CBR--see Title 12 USC Sec. 95(a) &
|
|
(b)--the current law of today--needs to become the chief issue for
|
|
anyone running for public office, except those who are Democrats or
|
|
Republicans, as they are responsible for the above crimes. Candidates
|
|
winning an election could never promise, or give their constituents
|
|
any REPRESENTATION whatsoever and COULD NOT BE SWORN-IN, by law, to
|
|
support and defend the CBR when IT HAS BEEN,AND STILL IS,
|
|
"OFFICIALLY" SUSPENDED, BY STATUTE!
|
|
|
|
THE ENTIRE ELECTION PROCESS IN 1994, for reasons above, is only for
|
|
fools and knaves for it is total FRAUD as long as "EMERGENCY RULE"
|
|
REMAINS IN EFFECT.
|
|
|
|
You can become a prime mover TO END EMERGENCY RULE and restore the CBR
|
|
to its rightful place in the affairs of Government. Get yourself
|
|
informed on this issue (see below) and may God guide you and bless you
|
|
in this Pursuit!

NEWS RELEASE
|
|
MAY 26. 1994
|
|
|
|
CONSTITUTIONAL TREASON
|
|
|
|
(Puyallup, Washington) Just in case you missed it, on February 1,
|
|
l994, CBS Radio News announced that Senate Republican leader Bob Dole
|
|
of Kansas had been "enlisted" to fight the so-called "WAR ON CRIME".
|
|
The "sound bite" containing Senator Dole's own words stated he had
|
|
become a "convert" and that he would now support a "thirty-million-
|
|
dollar FEDERAL GUN BUY BACK program", similar to ones that have been
|
|
utilized with mixed success at the State and local levels. Dole
|
|
admitted, however, that with 200-million guns on the streets, the
|
|
program won't do much to stop crime.
|
|
|
|
[H: Dear ones, don't you see what is more important HERE? A 'WAR' is
|
|
the same as announcing an "emergency". By declaring the ongoing "war
|
|
on crime" you have JUST EXTENDED THE STATE OF EMERGENCY!]
|
|
|
|
Under the disguise of "crime prevention" and "health care reform", a
|
|
massive effort is under way to disarm Americia, being promoted under
|
|
various pretenses at all levels of Government. Here, in Washington
|
|
State alone, a total of 65 or more anti-gun measures had been
|
|
impressed upon the Legislature, some under the heading of "youth
|
|
violence reduction". This anti-gun feeding-frenzy threatens honest,
|
|
law-abiding Citizens and their unalienable right to keep and bear
|
|
arms for self defense. But why is it that those who are most in favor
|
|
of "gun control" are the ones softest on the criminal? Why is it that
|
|
collectivist methods are the only solutions they propose? The answer
|
|
should put you inta a state of fear.
|
|
|
|
Little is known about an obscure, yet dramatic, piece of legislation
|
|
that was enacted into law by the Congress in 1961. At the behest of
|
|
then Senator Prescott Bush of Connecticut (yes, the father of George
|
|
Bush) President John F. Kennedy signed into law Public Law 87-297 on
|
|
September 1, 1961. This law can be located in the United States Code,
|
|
Title 22, and beginning at Section 2551. This law set the stage for
|
|
the creation of the "United States Disarmament Agency" and set in
|
|
place the political machinery to DESTROY our nation's sovereignty.
|
|
Notice the word "disarmament" in the title of this agency. Every
|
|
Congress and every President since 1961 has worked, methodically, and
|
|
craftily, to implement various provisions of Public Law 87-297. It
|
|
is all part and parcel of the march to merge America into the "New
|
|
Wor1d Order" All public policy is a result of the "emergency" OF
|
|
1933. WHAT "EMERGENCY...you say? Read on.
|
|
|
|
With the foregoing in mind, are we now to believe that all of a sudden
|
|
Senator Bob Dole has had a "change of heart" from his previously
|
|
stated position, that he was now a "convert" and would support the
|
|
WAR ON CRIME, and that he will now support the filibuster of the
|
|
Schumer/Feinstein Amendment, the socalled "Assault Weapon Ban"
|
|
contained in H.R. 42967 which let the first salvo of the Brady Bill
|
|
pass with only THREE SENATORS ON THE FLOOR. In January, he urged the
|
|
President-- on national television--TO SUPPORT THE SENATE VERSION OF
|
|
THE CRIME BILL containing the FEINSTEIN GUN BAN. This is the same
|
|
Senator Bob Dole who also introduced a resolution SUPPORTING
|
|
CLINTON'S POSITION ON THE CHICAGO GUN SWEEPS--WITHOUT WARRANTS--TO
|
|
SEARCH FOR AND SEIZE GUNS.
|
|
|
|
And remember well: with the suspension of the Constution FOR The
|
|
United States OF America on March 6, 1933, and its continuation for
|
|
the past 6l years by various Presidential Executive Orders,
|
|
including those recent Executive Orders of President William J.
|
|
Clinton, the American people are under the awesome power of a
|
|
Constitutional Dictatorship, under the War Powers and the Trading
|
|
with the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917. Since 1933, the American people
|
|
have not had the often quoted and misheralded 2nd Amendment Right to
|
|
"keep and bear arms". It is only through "license" by the "statutorily
|
|
created right" that you presently have the ability of firearms
|
|
ownership. One must understand the legal meanings of the words:
|
|
"owner" and "transfer" as used in the law as it pertains to the
|
|
Federal Firearms--under license--as a result of the Constitutional
|
|
Treason and the Acts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 73rd
|
|
Congress of 1933.
|
|
|
|
The remedy? First things first. Because the American people are
|
|
unaware of being unaware, they must first be made aware. Therefore, we
|
|
strongly recommend: that Americans be made aware of the treason and
|
|
seditious conspiracy, and the "emergency" we've all been under for the
|
|
past 61-years, by obtaining the material presented in the prior
|
|
writing. The materials are not copyrighted; therefore, once you obtain
|
|
a master set, you may duplicate and distribute them at will. But
|
|
remember: the messengers have paid dearly to bring you this research
|
|
to put all of the pieces together, starting at a single focal point,
|
|
from which all the rest of America's problems originate. Once the
|
|
American people understand what the problem is, we can then begin to
|
|
correct the misdeeds of the past 61 years of the "emergency". Once the
|
|
American people understand the perfidy, greed and avarice that have
|
|
held them in bondage all these years, there will be no need to run in
|
|
circles from one Patriot meeting to the next in search of that elusive
|
|
and magic "silver bullet".

FEMA File #2 & #3:
|
|
|
|
FEMA stands for the "Federal Emergency Management Agency." It isn't
|
|
an elected body, it has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of
|
|
dollars, and it has more power than the president of the United
|
|
States -- it is the most powerful organization in the United States
|
|
and most people don't even know it exists.
|
|
|
|
It was originally created to insure the survival of the U.S.
|
|
government in the event of a nuclear attack. It was also provided
|
|
the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of
|
|
domestic disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.
|
|
|
|
But it wasn't created under Constitutional law or an act of
|
|
Congress, it was created by EXECUTIVE ORDER.
|
|
|
|
There was an Act, called the "Emergency Management Act" that was
|
|
passed in 1935. This act says that the President can issue
|
|
Executive Orders in times of National Emergency. Since that time,
|
|
we have *always* had a declared state of "National Emergency" in the
|
|
United States, even though you didn't know it. You can find these
|
|
"declarations of National Emergency" in the Combined Federal
|
|
Register and the records of Congress. We are in one right now. Many
|
|
Executive Orders have been issued since then. The order inacting
|
|
FEMA is one of them. Since only Congress has the authority to
|
|
appropriate funds, the Executive Order creating this agency is
|
|
unconstitutional or, at best, it should have remained unfunded.]
|
|
|
|
An Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes effective
|
|
upon publication in the Federal Register. Congress is by-passed.
|
|
|
|
General Richard Secord and Lt. Col. Oliver North who orchestrated
|
|
the Iran-Contra operation that smuggled in weapons and cocaine to
|
|
this country, using our CIA and US Air Force to do it, was in charge
|
|
of FEMA for several years, during which it grew into the monster it
|
|
is today.
|
|
|
|
Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United
|
|
States are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given
|
|
responsibility for many new disasters, in addition to floods,
|
|
hurricanes, and earthquakes, including: urban forest fires, home
|
|
heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency
|
|
planning for nuclear and toxic incidences.
|
|
|
|
In the West, FEMA works "in conjunction with" the 6th Army.
|
|
|
|
FEMA has only spent about 6% of its budget on National Emergencies.
|
|
The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of
|
|
secret underground facilities to "assure continuity of government in
|
|
case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic" and to build prisons
|
|
and "holding facilties" under the designation of "refugee
|
|
facilities" (which have never been used for holding refugees).
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency
|
|
that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense
|
|
planning and funding. An "emergency Czar" was appointed.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #12656 appointed the National Security Council as the
|
|
principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the
|
|
government to increase domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens and restrict
|
|
freedom of movement within the United States, granting to the government the
|
|
right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard may be used
|
|
to seal all borders and take control of US air space and all ports of entry.
|
|
|
|
The following orders are written but not implemented and could be implemented
|
|
at any time, suspending the Constitution of the United States and using FEMA
|
|
to do it:
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #10990 - allows the government to take over all modes of
|
|
transportation and to control all highways and seaports.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #10995 - allows the government to seize and control the
|
|
communication media.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #10997 - allows the government to take over all
|
|
electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuel, and minerals.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #10998 - allows the government to take over all food
|
|
resources and farms.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11000 - allows the government to mobilize civilians
|
|
into work brigades under government supervision.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11001 - allows the government to take over all health,
|
|
education, and welfare functions.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11002 - designates the Postmaster General to operate a
|
|
national registration of all persons.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11003 - allows the government to take over all airports
|
|
and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11004 - allows the housing and finance authorities to
|
|
relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to
|
|
be abandoned, and establish new areas for populations.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11005 - allows the government to take over railroads,
|
|
inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11051 - specifies the responsibilities of the Office of
|
|
Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all executive orders into
|
|
effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial
|
|
crisis.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11310 - grants authority to the Department of Justice
|
|
to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial
|
|
support, to establish judicial and legislative liason, to control all aliens,
|
|
to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the
|
|
President.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11049 - assigns emergency preparedness function to
|
|
federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative executive
|
|
orders issued over a 15 year period.
|
|
|
|
---- Executive Order #11921 - allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness
|
|
agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of
|
|
production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and
|
|
the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national
|
|
emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by
|
|
the President, Congress cannot review the action for 6 months.

A STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY
|
|
|
|
Since the advent of changes which took place during the Reagan
|
|
regime, America has been a presidential directive away from a
|
|
civil security state of emergency which, if ever enacted, could
|
|
create a constitutional crisis equal in severity to the American
|
|
Civil War.
|
|
|
|
A national state of emergency can be declared by a concurrent
|
|
resolution of both houses of Congress or by the President in the
|
|
case of natural disasters, nuclear war, a massive mobilization in
|
|
anticipation of an enemy attack on U.S. territory, or domestic
|
|
civil unrest.
|
|
|
|
A disturbing shift in policy occurred during the Reagan years
|
|
which could have profound consequences with respect to civil
|
|
liberties. Whereas civil defense planning in the past had focused
|
|
on disaster relief, the national security focus of the Reagan
|
|
administration meant implementing new ways to expand police powers
|
|
in times of nuclear war, domestic unrest, or civil disorder.
|
|
|
|
Bending under pressure brought by the Reagan Administration,
|
|
Congress gave the president and his executive agencies sweeping
|
|
emergency powers. This article will examine how those powers came
|
|
to be, and will explore a possible scenario--the U.S.
|
|
government's war on drugs--in which these powers might be used.

CIVIL SECURITY PLANNING
|
|
|
|
Since WWII, the U.S. government has had contingency plans in
|
|
preparation for a large scale disaster or attack. However, during
|
|
the last twenty-five years--beginning with civil unrest at the
|
|
height of the Vietnam War--the government's plans have
|
|
increasingly on focused ways of controlling political dissent.
|
|
|
|
On October 30, 1969 Presdent Richard Nixon issued Executive
|
|
Order 11490, "Assigning Emergency Preparedness Functions to
|
|
Federal Departments and Agencies," which consolidated some 21
|
|
operative Executive Orders and two Defense Mobilization Orders
|
|
issued between 1951 and 1966 on a variety of emergency
|
|
preparedness matters.
|
|
|
|
In 1976 President Gerald Ford ordered the Federal Emergency
|
|
Preparedness Agency (FEPA) to develop plans to establish
|
|
government control of the mechanisms of productions and
|
|
distribution of energy sources, wages and salaries, credit and
|
|
the flow of money in American financial institutions in any
|
|
(heretofore undefined) "national emergency." This
|
|
Executive Order (EO 11921) also indicated that, when a state of
|
|
emergency is declared by the President, Congress could not review
|
|
the matter for a period of six months.
|
|
|
|
Even arch-conservative activist Howard J. Ruff was quick to point
|
|
out that, since the enactment of EO 11490, "The only thing
|
|
standing between us and a dictatorship is the good character of
|
|
the President and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the
|
|
public would stand still for it."
|
|
|
|
While Ruff thought a national emergency might be used to destroy
|
|
the free markets in the U.S. and take away the C.B. radios and
|
|
guns of Americans, <The Washington Afro-American> was alarmed
|
|
for more rational and obvious reasons. In an editorial, the paper
|
|
repeated Ruff's warning:
|
|
|
|
"Executive Order No. 11490 is real, and only the lack of a
|
|
crisis big enough, a president willing enough, and a public
|
|
aroused enough to permit it to be invoked, separates us from a
|
|
possible dictatorship, brought about under current law, waiting to
|
|
be implemented in the event of circumstances which can be
|
|
construed as a `national emergency.'"
|
|
|
|
President Carter evidently did not share this concern and, in
|
|
1977, he signed Executive Order 12148 which created the Federal
|
|
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to replace the Federal
|
|
Emergency Preparedness Agency. This Presidential Directive
|
|
mandated an interface between the Department of Defense (DOD) and
|
|
FEMA for civil defense planning and funding.
|
|
|
|
When Ronald Reagan came to power he gave FEMA vastly expanded
|
|
executive emergency powers and appointed retired National Guard
|
|
General Louis O. Giuffrida as his "emergency czar."
|
|
Giuffrida's creation of contingency emergency plans to round up
|
|
"militant negroes" while he was at the Naval War College
|
|
caught the attention of then-Governor of California Reagan and his
|
|
executive secretary Edwin Meese III.
|
|
|
|
As Governor, Reagan called on Giuffrida to design Operation Cable
|
|
Splicer. Cable Splicer I, II and III were martial law plans to
|
|
legitimize the arrest and detention of anti-Vietnam war activists
|
|
and other political dissidents.
|
|
|
|
In 1971, Governor Reagan, with a $425,000 grant from the
|
|
Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, established
|
|
a counterterrorism training center--the California Specialized
|
|
Training Institute (CSTI)--and made Giuffrida its commandant.
|
|
|
|
Shortly after he assumed the directorship of FEMA in 1981,
|
|
Giuffrida had flooded high-level FEMA posts with friends from CSTI
|
|
and the military police, had created a Civil Security Division of
|
|
FEMA, and had established a Civil Defense Training Center in
|
|
Emmitsburg, Maryland--based on the CSTI model. By 1984, the
|
|
Center had trained one thousand civil defense personnel in
|
|
survival techniques, counterterrorism and military police
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
From February to July of 1982, President Reagan signed a series of
|
|
National Security Decision Directives (NSDD)--presidential
|
|
decisions on national security objectives--on civil defense
|
|
policy and emergency mobilization preparedness. While Reagan's
|
|
real U.S. civil defense policy is contained in the classified NSDD
|
|
26, some of the law enforcement and public safety provisions of
|
|
the policy are made public in NSDD 47. This National Security
|
|
Decision Directive provides for an intensified counterintelligence
|
|
effort at home and the maintenance of law and order in a variety
|
|
of emergencies, particularly terrorist incidents, civil
|
|
disturbances, and nuclear emergencies.
|
|
|
|
Reagan gave the National Security Council (NSC) authority over the
|
|
planning for civil defense policy with its expanded civil security
|
|
powers. He mandated the creation of a senior-level
|
|
interdepartmental board, the Emergency Mobilization Preparedness
|
|
Board (EMPB), and charged it with responsibilities for policy and
|
|
planning guidance, coordination of planning, resolution of issues,
|
|
and monitoring progress.
|
|
|
|
The members of the EMPB were the Assistant for National Security
|
|
Affairs (as its Chair), the DOD's Secretary of Defense for Policy,
|
|
the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and representatives
|
|
from 10 other federal agencies. FEMA provided the staff, support
|
|
secretariat and operational supervision for the EMPB and their
|
|
working group on civil defense. According to then Secretary of
|
|
Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, by February 1983, the EMPB had
|
|
prepared--and the President had approved--a national policy
|
|
statement on emergency mobilization preparedness.
|
|
|
|
Oliver North served on the EMPB, having been assigned there from
|
|
1982 to 1984 by former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane.
|
|
General Giuffrida was there too, providing operational
|
|
supervision. By forming the EMPB, Ronald Reagan made it possible
|
|
for a small group of people, under the authority of the NSC, to
|
|
wield enormous power. They, in turn, used this executive
|
|
authority to change civil defense planning into a military/police
|
|
version of civil security.

MILITARY RULE
|
|
|
|
In January of 1982, FEMA and the Department of Defense issued a
|
|
joint paper entitled, "The Civil/Military Alliance in
|
|
Emergency Management" which specified many of the provisions
|
|
of Reagan's policy on emergency mobilization preparedness. This
|
|
document indicates that FEMA had been given <carte blanche>
|
|
emergency powers to acquire resources from federal and state
|
|
agencies (including National Guard personnel) and the private
|
|
sector (banking, communications, transportation, etc.) "for
|
|
use in civil disturbance operations."
|
|
|
|
Apparently General Frank S. Salcedo, Chief of FEMA's Civil
|
|
Security Division and Giuffrida's former colleague at CSTI, wanted
|
|
more. In 1983, in a workshop at the annual meeting of the Academy
|
|
of Criminal Justice Sciences, Salcedo recommended expanding FEMA's
|
|
power further in the areas of survivability training, research on
|
|
imposing martial law, and the potential threat posed by foreign
|
|
and domestic adversaries. As he saw it at least 100,000 U.S.
|
|
citizens, from survivalists to tax protesters, were serious
|
|
threats to civil security.
|
|
|
|
Salcedo saw FEMA's new frontier in the protection of industrial
|
|
and government leaders from assassination, and of civil and
|
|
military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as the
|
|
prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion
|
|
or a global audience in times of crisis.
|
|
|
|
"THIS IS ONLY A TEST, REPEAT..."
|
|
|
|
While improving capabilities to respond to civil security
|
|
emergencies was for the most part a planning activity with the
|
|
Reagan Administration, FEMA was also active in exercises to test
|
|
these plans. In 1981, FEMA and DOD began a continuing tradition of
|
|
biannual joint exercises to test civilian mo,bil,ization, civil
|
|
security emergency and counterterrorism plans using such names as
|
|
"Proud Saber/Rex-82," "Pre-Nest," and
|
|
"Rex-84/Night Train."
|
|
|
|
The Rex-84 Alpha Explan (Readiness Exercise 1984, Exercise Plan),
|
|
indicates that FEMA in association with 34 other federal civil
|
|
departments and agencies conducted a civil readiness exercise
|
|
during April 5-13, 1984. It was conducted in coordination and
|
|
simultaneously with a Joint Chiefs exercise, Night Train 84, a
|
|
worldwide military command post exercise (including Continental
|
|
U.S. Forces or CONUS) based on multi-emergency scenarios operating
|
|
both abroad and at home. In the combined exercise, Rex-84 Bravo,
|
|
FEMA and DOD led the other federal agencies and departments,
|
|
including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the
|
|
Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Veterans
|
|
Administration through a gaming exercise to test military
|
|
assistance in civil defense.
|
|
|
|
The exercise anticipated civil disturbances, major demonstrations
|
|
and strikes that would affect continuity of government and/or
|
|
resource mobilization. To fight subversive activities, there was
|
|
authorization for the military to implement government ordered
|
|
movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels,
|
|
the arrest of certain unidentified segments of the population, and
|
|
the imposition of martial rule.
|
|
|
|
Attorney General William French Smith finally became aware of the
|
|
abuses of the Emergency Mobilization Preparedness Board operating
|
|
under the NSC. He admonished McFarlane, Assistant to the
|
|
President for National Security Affairs, who theoretically chaired
|
|
the planning group. In a letter dated August 2, 1984, Smith
|
|
responded to a request by the Office of Management and Budget
|
|
(OMB) to review, for form and legality, a draft Executive Order
|
|
revising the powerful EO 11490, assigning emergency preparedness
|
|
functions to federal departments and agencies. The Attorney
|
|
General said that apart from the legal review by the Office of
|
|
Legal Counsel,
|
|
|
|
"...I believe that the draft Executive Order raises
|
|
serious substantive and public policy issues that should be
|
|
further addressed before this proposal is submitted to the
|
|
President. In short I believe that the role assigned to the
|
|
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on the revised
|
|
Executive Order exceeds its proper function as a coordinating
|
|
agency for emergency preparedness.
|
|
|
|
"This Department and others have repeatedly raised
|
|
serious policy and legal objections to the creation of an
|
|
`emergency czar' role for FEMA. Specific policy concerns regarding
|
|
recent FEMA initiatives include the abandonment of the principle
|
|
of `several' agency responsibility and the expansion of the
|
|
definition of severe emergencies to encompass `routine' domestic
|
|
law enforcement emergencies. Legal objections relate to the
|
|
absence of Presidential or Congressional authorization for
|
|
unilateral FEMA directives which seek to establish new Federal
|
|
Government management structures or otherwise task Cabinet
|
|
departments and other federal agencies.

THE FALL OF FEMA
|
|
|
|
Smith's letter signaled what seemed to be the beginning of the end
|
|
for FEMA and Reagan's Emergency Mobilization Preparedness Board.
|
|
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director William Webster had
|
|
previously complained when FEMA's Director of Civil Security,
|
|
General Salcedo, had intruded into the FBI's domestic intelligence
|
|
jurisdiction under the rubric of counter terrorism. Salcedo was
|
|
forced to turn over to Webster some 12,000 names he had been
|
|
compiling on a list of potential threats to civil security.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, it came to light that while FEMA had been expending
|
|
the lon's share of its energy and funding on building a civil
|
|
security infrastructure, it had neglected its authorized civil
|
|
defense role. On June 15, 1984, barely a month after Giuffrida
|
|
filed his glowing accomplishment report with Meese, Robert Guffus,
|
|
Inspector General of FEMA, wrote a draft report on FEMA's
|
|
Comprehensive Cooperative Agreements (CCA) (with states) in civil
|
|
defense preparedness.
|
|
|
|
He concluded that management actions were needed to improve the
|
|
effectiveness of programs with state and local governments. In his
|
|
review of the CCAs he found inadequate FEMA management control,
|
|
imprecise program guidelines and a lack of personnel resources.
|
|
Programmatic and financial weaknesses were a result of fiscal
|
|
mis-management, unclear assignment of responsibilities,
|
|
overlapping job descriptions, inflated training figures, and lack
|
|
of written procedures.
|
|
|
|
McFarlane removed North from the EMPB and assigned him to help
|
|
with conducting unconventional warfare in Nicaragua. Giuffrida
|
|
resigned in 1985 after a House subcommittee charged that FEMA was
|
|
being mismanaged, and it was publicized that Giuffrida had staffed
|
|
FEMA with his military/police cronies and had allowed $170,000 of
|
|
agency funds to be used to outfit a deluxe bachelor pad at the
|
|
Civil Defense Training Academy at Emmitsburg. He now operates a
|
|
security consulting firm in Washington, D.C. General Salcedo has
|
|
moved on to be Presidential Liaison to Veterans Organizations at
|
|
the Veterans Administration.
|
|
|
|
There is some debate about what happened to the plans for a civil
|
|
security emergency. There was a rumored joint investigation
|
|
conducted by the Defense Department and the CIA into the
|
|
unconstitutionality of planning for a civil security emergency by
|
|
several government agencies. Supposedly, the two investigators,
|
|
Special Forces Lt. Colonel Kvererdas and the CIA's William
|
|
Buckley, prior to his fatal Beirut assignment, destroyed the plans
|
|
and the exercise data.
|
|
|
|
Some believe that much of the planning was incorporated into Vice
|
|
President Bush's Report from his Task Force on Combatting
|
|
Terrorism which has inspired civil security contingency planning
|
|
at the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service by an Alien
|
|
Border Control (ABC) Committee. The working group within the INS
|
|
was designing plans and programs regarding the control and removal
|
|
of alien terrorists, potential terrorist aliens and those "who
|
|
are likely to be supportive of terrorist acti within the
|
|
U.S."
|
|
|
|
The most obvious resting place for the material is the National
|
|
Security Council. In 1987, Reagan signed another NSDD, number
|
|
259, which superseded both NSDD 26, the secret civil defense plan
|
|
of February 25, 1982 and the unclassified version dated March 16,
|
|
1982. Even though the 1987 version is shorter and more vague than
|
|
its predecessors, no significant changes are evident in civil
|
|
defense planning and programs from the 1984 EMPB scenarios.
|
|
|
|
Just before he left office, Reagan signed Executive Order 12656
|
|
which assigned new emergency preparedness responsibilities.
|
|
Reagan's final national security legacy to civil defense planning
|
|
puts the NSC clearly in charge. In Section 104, EO 12656 states
|
|
that the NSC is the principal forum for consideration of national
|
|
security emergency preparedness policy and will arrange for
|
|
Executive branch liaison with, and assistance to, the Congress and
|
|
the Federal judiciary on national security emergency preparedness
|
|
matters.
|
|
|
|
The Director of FEMA has now been promoted to advisor to the NSC
|
|
on mobilization preparedness, civil defense, continuity of
|
|
government, technological disasters, "and other issues, as
|
|
appropriate." The Director of FEMA is also authorized to
|
|
assist in the implementation of national security emergency
|
|
preparedness policy by coordinating federal departments and
|
|
agencies; as well as state and local governments. The exercise
|
|
program is to continue and plans and procedures "will be
|
|
designed and developed to provide maximum flexibility to the
|
|
President for his implementation of emergency actions."
|
|
|
|
On the same day that Reagan signed EO 12656 he also signed the
|
|
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 which provided yet another in a series
|
|
of get-tough-but-do-nothing drug policies produced by the Reagan
|
|
Administration. If and when the Anti-Drug Abuse Act fails--a
|
|
victim of underfunding and bureaucratic in-fighting--then
|
|
Executive Order 12656 could become an historic document in the war
|
|
on drugs.

THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE AND THE DRUG WAR
|
|
|
|
The U.S. government's proposed "war on drugs" is one such
|
|
case in which the U.S. government will have the authority to use
|
|
the national security apparatus to suppress civil liberties. It
|
|
may be the first opportunity to call into action the years of
|
|
planning and expense used to develop the emergency preparedness
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act was passed in the final hours of the 100th
|
|
Congress, when incumbents were anxious to return to their
|
|
districts in order to campaign and when public opinion was calling
|
|
for drastic action in the war on drugs. The Act was quickly
|
|
drafted by <ad hoc> congressional committees and private
|
|
consultants, then passed by Congress without the usual legislative
|
|
hearings and debate.
|
|
|
|
The Act broadly defines the programs, goals, guidelines and
|
|
appropriations for all the 58 federal departments plus the
|
|
thousands of state and local agencies involved in the national war
|
|
on drugs. Some provisions were made for drug education,
|
|
prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, but much of the text
|
|
focuses on the punitive measures to be taken by the government.
|
|
|
|
The anti-drug policy authorizes the use of the U.S. military to
|
|
assist in the drug war at home. If you live in federal housing or
|
|
if you reside in large urban areas such as New York, Boston, Washington
|
|
DC, or Los Angeles--where crime and addiction have
|
|
turned neighborhoods into combat zones--this Act will authorize
|
|
the military to fence off your streets, keep track of who comes
|
|
from and goes to your home, stop and frisk you, your friends and
|
|
family, and regularly inspect your home and belongings. If you or
|
|
anyone who visits you is suspected by the authorities of using,
|
|
selling or trafficking in any kind of illicit narcotic substance,
|
|
you can be evicted from your home whether your landlord is the
|
|
government or a private party.
|
|
|
|
The Act increases state powers in the areas of government
|
|
surveillance, intelligence gathering, and seizure of private property.
|
|
It authorizes regional intelligence sharing centers, which
|
|
not only compile statistics but provide contracts to states, local
|
|
criminal justice agencies, and non-profit organizations for
|
|
purposes of identifying, targeting and removing criminal
|
|
conspiracies and activities spanning jurisdictional boundaries.
|
|
|
|
The Justice Department is given the power to confiscate private
|
|
property and deny state and federal entitlement by decree. Once
|
|
caught, even casual marijuana users could be subject to the
|
|
confiscation of their homes, cars, and bank accounts. The
|
|
government seizure takes place through civil proceedings where the
|
|
burden is on the defendant to prove his or her innocence, unlike
|
|
the "innocent until proven guilty" due process guarantee
|
|
of criminal proceedings.
|
|
|
|
A NATIONAL DRUG CZAR
|
|
|
|
William Bennett, as the Director of the Office of National Drug
|
|
Policy, is an adviser to and voting member of the National
|
|
Security Council. It is here in the NSC that the ultimate drug
|
|
war could be fought. All it would take is a President determined
|
|
enough, a Congress pliant enough, and people desperate enough for
|
|
the drug war in America to be declared a national security
|
|
emergency. If and when that happens, the NSC--as part of civil
|
|
emergency preparedness--would be in charge of its implementation
|
|
under the guidance of the President.
|
|
|
|
A national security emergency would without a doubt decrease drug
|
|
use in America. The government would be authorized to increase
|
|
domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens. State
|
|
security measures would be enhanced by restricting the freedom of
|
|
movement within the U.S. and granting the government authority to
|
|
relocate large groups of civilians at will. The U.S. Continental
|
|
Forces and a federalized National Guard could seal off borders and
|
|
take control of U.S. airspace, all ports of entry, and interstate
|
|
highways.
|
|
|
|
It was James Madison's worst nightmare that a
|
|
righteous faction would some day be strong enough to sweep away
|
|
the constitutional restraints, designed by the framers to prevent
|
|
the tyranny of centralized power, executive privilege and
|
|
arbitrary government authority over the individual.
|
|
|
|
These restraints, the balancing and checking of powers among branches
|
|
and layers of government and the civil guarantees contained in the
|
|
Bill of Rights would be the first casualties in a drug-induced
|
|
national security state with Reagan's civil emergency preparedness
|
|
unleashed.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, there will be those who will welcome the National
|
|
Security Council into the drug fray, believing that increasing
|
|
state police powers to emergency levels is the only way left to
|
|
fight America's enemy within. In the short run, a national
|
|
security state would probably be a relief to those whose personal
|
|
security and quality of life has been diminished by drugs or drug
|
|
related crime. And as the general pblic watches the progression
|
|
of institutional chaos and social decay, they too may be willing
|
|
to pay the ultimate price: one drug-free America for 200 years of
|
|
democracy.

clicking pen. Enjoy!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
1 Clicking Ball Point Pen

|
|
|
Unscrew the pen and remove all the parts but leave the button in the
|
|
top of the pen. Stick the match stick in the part of the pen clicker where
|
|
the other little parts and the ink fill was. Roll sandpaper up and put
|
|
around the match stick that is in the clicker. Put the remaining match heads
|
|
inside the pen, make sure that they are on the inside on the sandpaper. Put a
|
|
small piece of paper in the other end of the pen where the ball point comes
|
|
out. Fill the end with the piece of paper in it with gunpowder. The paper is
|
|
to keep the powder from spilling. It should look like this:

Mousetrap Switch
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
1 Mousetrap
|
|
1 Hacksaw or File
|
|
Some connecting wires
|
|
|
|
Remove the trip lever from the mousetrap using the hacksaw or file.
|
|
Also remove the staple and golding wire. Retract the striker of the mousetrap
|
|
and attach the trip lever across the end of the wood base using the staple
|
|
with which the holding wire was attached. (If the trip lever is not made of
|
|
metal, a piece of metal of approximately the same size should be used.) Strip
|
|
one inch of insulation from the ends of 2 connecting wires. Wrap one wire
|
|
tightly around the spring loaded striker of the mousetrap. Wrap the second
|
|
wire around some part of the trip lever or piece of metal. (If a soldering
|
|
iron is available, solder both of the above wires in place.)
|
|
|
|
One way to use, is place the switch inside a box which contains the
|
|
eplosive and the batteries. The spring loaded striker is held back by the lid
|
|
of the box and when the box is opened, the circuit is closed.

Coin Changer Fraud
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
|
|
You need a coin changing machine and a dollar. Look at which way the
|
|
dollar goes in. Take some ink that is DARK BLUE (black and green) and run
|
|
the whole side of the dollar (the right side) thru the ink. Get it dark
|
|
blue about 1/4" into the bill. If the dollar goes in the long way first,
|
|
then left side of the dollar with ink. Now insert the dollar. If you are
|
|
lucky, it will come out, with part of the ink pushed back to the point the
|
|
dollar went in furthest. Mark that point. (The ink should still be wet!)
|
|
Now get a ruler and measure the distance between the first part of the bill
|
|
that goes in, and where the ink stopped. Be VERY accurate! Do this 5 or 6
|
|
times!! With this measurement, you can cut a small (1/8" slit) into the bill
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
____________________
|
|
|#####
|
|
ink----> |##### |
|
|
|##### |
|
|
slit---> ========= |
|
|
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
|
|
|
|
Now, if you insert the dollar, and the measurement is correct, the
|
|
money will spring back out, and the change will come out too! Usually the
|
|
dollar only works a few times, because once it starts to unstiffen (a new
|
|
dollar is a good dollar!), is stops working and you only get your dollar back
|
|
or just the change.

Butane Bomb
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
|
|
(Originally written by FBI and edited by Low-Life)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, this bomb was constructed by us in an attempt to not only make an
|
|
antipersonnel device which was easy to construct, but also to create the
|
|
biggest fireball that the world has ever seen. So, you get the power of pure
|
|
butane, with the added advantage of simplicity in construction...have phun!
|
|
|
|
1. A Cannister of Butane Fuel: Easy to obtain, this can be found at just
|
|
about any good drugstore, certainly at a hardware store.
|
|
2. Gun Powder: See above.
|
|
3. Plastic Container: Preferably a TupperWare-(tm) glass, as it will both
|
|
melt away and explode, while glass will shatter with heat, and metal
|
|
will not explode.
|
|
4. A Fuse: You can buy these in places, but if you don't want to go thru
|
|
the hassle, simply rub model glue all over a string, it'll work just
|
|
as well.
|
|
5. Masking Tape: Or electrical tape, or cellophane tape, or whatever kind
|
|
of tape that you've got lying 'round the house.
|
|
|
|
Assembly:
|
|
|
|
1. Fill the plastic container with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of powder.
|
|
2. Center the butane in the container, atop the powder.
|
|
3. Fill the rest of the container with powder, around the butane. Pack
|
|
it down -- lightly, just so that it fully fills in the container.
|
|
4. Insert the fuse at least 1/2 inch into the powder, and pack the
|
|
surrounding powder as in step 3. Seal the top of the container around
|
|
the butane with a small covering of masking tape.
|
|
5. Plant the device in a target area.
|
|
6. Light the fuse, and...
|
|
7. RUN LIKE HELL!!
|
|
8. (Detonation): If this is done correctly, and you get well out of range
|
|
of the fireball, the immediate, (and non-immediate), area will be "up
|
|
in smoke," persay.

|
|
|
|
Use propane instead of Butane.
|
|
Use an oxygen tank along with the butane/propane.(BIG WHITE BOOM!!)
|
|
Ever see those HUGE propane canisters used in outdoor BBQ's? Get the idea?!?
|
|
No oxygen tanks?? Use Whipped Cream(in the spray container)
|
|
No butane/propane?? Use WD40 or other aerosols!! (WD40 and other lubricants
|
|
are the best tho)
|
|
|
|
All of these should make your little butane bomb capable of nuking a city..
|
|
Or.. just drop yours off by the local propane cylinder exhange at your corner
|
|
store.. heh heh..
|
|
|
|
Of course.. there are those HUGE propane canisters.(6-20 ft long!!)
|
|
those would be fun to watch.

Ammonium Nitrate

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
|
|
Ammonium Nitrate is easily found in instant cold packs in your
|
|
local drugstore. Just break them open and the AN is the white
|
|
crystalline powder you find inside with a pack of water.
|
|
|
|
Ammonium nitrate is used in the making of dynamite and other
|
|
explosive compounds like nitroglycerin, picric acid, etc. due to
|
|
the amount of oxygen it furnishes.
