TO: CDR, US Peacekeeping Forces, Sierra Leone
FROM: US AFRICOM, Kelly Barracks, Stuttgart, Germany

1) Attached find two photographs of General Siaka Roosevelt Jackson. The first is a photograph from January of 2007 of Jackson leading a party of raiders into a Liberian village during his first challenge to the former Liberian government. The second photograph is from a UN photographer captured by the General during his push early this month into Sierra Leone.

2) Signals assets confirm Jackson and his army of European, American and South African mercenary forces are settling in near the town of Lago in Sierra Leone. Deep Core Mining Corporation has a small diamond mining facility on the outskirts of Lago. Although the facility is considerably smaller than Moyamba Mines, Deep Core Mining is pressuring the United Nations to permit a deployment of military contractors from Strategic Resource Consultants to reinforce the small security detail currently on site. National Command Authority is concerned about the build-up of military contractors in the region under the employment of several large corporations with interests in the country. Analysts feel that a "corporate" army is being quietly assembled to take the offensive to General Jackson, in spite of the current cease-fire in effect. At this time requests for additional contractors moving past UN/US controlled checkpoints are denied.

3) 1st Battalion of the 2eme REP of the French Foreign Legion is being pulled out of operations in Chad and will reinforce US AFRICOM Peacekeeping forces in Sierra Leone. Coordination instructions will be sent from AFRICOM and a liaison team organized when the Legion arrives.

4) HUMINT assets report that George Tshombe, General Jackson's arms supplier, has acquired an unknown number of XM29 "Kestrel" missiles, currently under development by Stark Industries, through the black market. The XM29 is a surface to surface, precision guided munition using internal avionics and an observer with a laser designator to reach its target. Stark Industries reported the loss of fifteen XM29 missiles in an explosion during a suspected terrorist attack at their testing facility in Namibia. Analysts now believe the explosion was to cover up the theft of an unknown number of the lost weapons. Sources indicate the weapons crossed into Liberia this weekend and are enroute to Jackson's advance forces in Sierra Leone. The exact number and location of these weapons is unknown but is now a priority intelligence requirement of AFRICOM.

Mess kit


P1040107
Originally uploaded by mirvana

Since we do a lot of camping/overnight events, this Outdoor MealKit by Light My Fire should come in handy. It's got everything that you typically find in a mess kit, and a clever design. 6 pieces, including spill-proof cup and matching spork. Also pictured is the MealKit harness that allows you to attach it to a belt or backpack.



Some other essentials: a stainless steel water bottle, by DAJO Adventure Gear - has a carabiner built into the top; the Swedish Firesteel; and some other species of spork - left-right - Titanium Spork, regular Spork, and Spork XM - slightly larger than regular spork and better for getting to the bottom of MRE pouches.

All available now at www.darkthreads.com.

The coolest business card...

We haz it.

So if you spend enough money at www.darkthreads.com, we'll give you one of these awesome "customized" sporks, made of durable, machine washable plastic. Or, we might just give you one 'cause we like you. ;-)

Come on, baby, Light My Fire

So I got this stuff with camping in mind. What you see here is a "mini" fire bowl that folds up like those vegetable steamers that you find in every kitchen (but no one every uses), and a little grill sized to match. The grill disassembles into basically a pile of metal sticks and they all shove into the larger of the metal tubes, so this stuff packs up very small, which is great for backpacking.

Also pictured above is the Swedish Firesteel, which works even when wet. I'm definitely putting one of these into my survival kit/bug-out bag, because its good to have more than one means of building a fire.

The firesteel is already listed in the store, along with a bunch of other cool camping stuff, in the Survival section. http://www.darkthreads.com/

If you are interested in the mini fire bowl and grill, just contact sales@darkthreads.com, and we'd be glad to order them in for you.

World News Network 4/22/09 - Liberian Warlord, General Siaka Roosevelt Jackson, has consolidated forces near the town of Lago in Sierra Leone. Jackson is far from beaten and fresh troops being are being trucked into Sierra Leone along his supply routes. Unlike other African Warlords, Jackson has put the substantial resources at his disposal to use in hiring highly skilled western mercenaries as the shock troops of his army. African militia troops are used primarily to safeguard his supply routes and control the Liberian border, and Jackson's wealth continues to attract experienced western mercenaries in his bid to conquer neighboring Sierra Leone.

Despite sanctions and threats of action, the UN Security Council remains divided on how to address the situation in West Africa. At this time a peacekeeping force of US troops, augmented by French Foreign Legionnaires, has set up checkpoints to monitor and observe Jackson's forces and prevent him from resuming offensive operations.

Publically denouncing the UN and US hesitancy of direct involvement in West African politics, a consortium of European, American and South African corporations with business interests in the region have begun to hire additional security forces from private military contractors. Spokespersons explain that the build up of contractors is to safeguard their regional interests, but WNN military analysts suspect that these corporations are quietly building a military force capable of offensive operations against General Jackson should the UN and US continue to delay direct action.

Weekend airsofting



It was a great day for airsofting, and I had a great time. The turnout was great, the field was challenging, the game was dynamic, and another remarkable thing was the unprecedented number of women at the game: at least seven out of roughly 70 players total (that's a guesstimate). I finally, really got to play with my CA M15 XM177, after it was upgraded by Amped Airsoft. What an amazing difference in the performance level! I am very happy with it.
