Hells Angels Vs Mongols - Cops as agent Provocateur in Laughlin ?
Has anyone else read the account of the 2002 Laughlin Casino ‘battle’ between Angels and Mongols in “Befriend & betray “(Alex Caine) and felt that it leads to the inference that the actions of undercover agents hours before are what precipitated the attack in the Harrah’s Casino ?
Caine describes being summoned from his sleep at the ‘cover house’ just across the river from Laughlin and told to put on a set of Mongol colours(confiscated a few years earlier by Federal agents) and riding with the pack of agents from various agencies [including now infamous Jay ‘Jaybird’ Dobyns (“ No Angel”)] to a location south of Laughlin.
The plan was to attack the convoy allegedly transporting a large drugs consignment for a deal set up by Caine with the Angels. When his handling agency indicated at the third hour that they could not meet the finance requirements for the deal another agent suggested a rip-off be staged to steal the drugs. Caine admits in the book that he is still not sure whether the idea was officially agency authorised or whether this was a wildcat plan of UC agents for themselves.
Caine describes the ambush of the drugs convoy from a nearby hilltop, and in his account points out a couple of things that struck him as odd during the ensuing gun battle. – firstly, that agents abandoned safe crouching positions to fire in full view of the convoy, thereby flying the Mongols colours very obviously. He also points out his own surprise first that the convoy was seemingly unprotected and that secondly that the agents on the hillside(‘Mongols’) do not seem to have expected the HA outriders then to appear behind them on the hillside.
In the ensuing confusion a couple of ‘agency Mongols’ and a member of HA were killed, the convoy escaped into the night and the “agency Mongols”, removed their colours and rode frantically back to their Laughlin hidey-hole.
Caine then tells of a couple of days of boredom followed by the days events that culminated in the now well documented and publicly reported Gunfight in the Harrah’s Casino between Mongols and Hells Angels

Betrayal
To those people at lambeth Council , you know who they are, I would say Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations. Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others. Someone who betrays others is commonly called a traitor or betrayer.

My boss at Lambeth
A job centre is advertising a "witch" vacancy with tourist site Wookey Hole, in Somerset, for £50,000 a year.
The witch, who has to live in the site's caves, is expected to teach witchcraft and magic.
Wookey Hole staff say the role is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch and do the things witches do.
The advert for the post, placed in the local press as well as job centres, says applicants must be able to cackle and cannot be allergic to cats.
The job has come up after the previous witch retired from the role.
"We are witchless at the moment so need to get the role filled as soon as possible," said Daniel Medley from the tourist destination.
'Key career move'
"Wookey Hole wants the appointee to go about her everyday business as a hag, so that people passing through the caves can get a sense of what the place was like in the Dark Ages.
"This was when an old woman lived in the caves with some goats and a dog, causing a variety of social ills, including crop failures and disease."
The £50,000-a-year salary is pro rata, and based on work done as needed, largely in the summer holidays, but also at Halloween and at Christmas.
"Wookey Hole is advertising nationally and hopes to attract a strong field of candidates with the £50,000 serving as a major incentive," said the site.
It said ambitious witches looking for a "key career move" should arrive dressed for work armed with any "essential witch accoutrements".
Due to sexual discrimination law, the job cannot demand that the post is filled by a woman.
Under sexual discrimination law, unless Wookey Hole can provide "documentary proof that the original witch was female it can't issue a gender-specific job description".
Interviews, which will involve on-site assessment incorporating a range of standard tasks, will take place on 28 July at 1100, stipulates the advert.

Kuryakyn Products 'Aircraft style' Flush Mount Gas filler cap.
Although I'm naturally averse to 'accesorization school of customization, there is a piece of off the shelf kit that I'd wanted to put on my sportster for a couple of years but as it was strictly aesthetic and non performance practical it kept getting put off and the funds used elsewhere. However after a boring evening on ebay and finding myself on a a page of Kuryakyn accesories I put in a low bid on an aircraft 'style' flush mounted gas cap.........a screw in one which didn't need welding etc but fitts in the stock tank filler hole, thereby dressing the tank filler to look like it's a genuine welded in flush filler. I then forgot about my bid and a few weeks later recieved an 'e'mail from 'e'bay reminding me I had to pay for it as I'd won.
It arrived and I've gotta say, it was so easy to fit. - it took about 10 minutes reading and orientation and about 5 minutes to actually fit.
It is exactly as Kuryakyn say :-
- High-tech look of aviation-style fuel fillers
- Simply screws into the stock opening in your gas tank
- Keyed entry permits the low profile and prevents unauthorized entry
- Outer rings prevent chips around gas opening
- Kuryakyn's Flush-Mount Gas Caps are available in vented and non-vented styles for 83 and later screw-in style tanks.require reusing

Sons Of Anarchy - Bykuz.com
at present there is a large amount of interest in the new Bravo TV series 'sons of Anarchy, due to start very soon here in the UK. Like the guys at Bykuz.com I also caught several episodes in the USA and think it is a pretty entertaining series.
Most worrying is the fact that some guys , I suppose the same way as Trekkies do, take the programme and dress up and pretend to live the life. One even asks whether there are plans for the series creators to establish the club for real...................Muppet...........he probably wrote off for a membership aplication after watching the Godfather movies.....! - shouldn't be allowed out without a nurse medication or no medication !

Oscars Nomination
But then when I began to think about it in context I began to feel a lot better about it.
Firstly, the Oscars being industry awards, are really about little more than a pat on the back and marketing - oscars not only increase the bums on seats, longevity and DVD sales of the movie but secure the bankability of actors and filmakers alike for the next project. It's the Movie 'Business' lets never forget that.
Secondly, ok the publicity of the oscar nomination/win does help but as long as the movie was made and watched then the story has been told.
Thirdly, yes it's a great story,a true story, but although it is a story well told, cinematographically well made,it isn't a G.R.E.A.T movie.
I guess it's just unfortunate that often a story worth telling doesn't get the attention given to some indulgent piece of fiction.
I think the most dissappointing thing I saw about this movie was a description on a major website movie chart as "a movie about 3 Jewish brothers who get revenge for the killing of their parents"...........mmmm
