During World War II they were issued to the German military and police, the Schutzstaffel, the Luftwaffe, and Nazi Party officials; Adolf Hitler shot and killed himself with his PPK (a 7.65mm/.32 ACP) in the Führerbunker in Berlin.
Moreover, the Walther PPK (also a 7.65mm/.32 ACP) pistol is famous as fictional secret agent James Bond’s signature gun in many of the films and novels. Ian Fleming’s choice of the Walther PPK directly influenced its popularity and its notoriety.

The most common variant is the Walther PPK, the Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell (Police Pistol Detective Model), indicating it was more concealable than the original PP and hence better suited to plainclothes or undercover work. Sometimes, the name Polizeipistole Kurz (Short Police Pistol) is used, however the accuracy of that interpretation is unclear. The PPK is a smaller version of the PP (Polizeipistole) with a shorter grip and barrel and reduced magazine capacity.
The PP and the PPK were among the world’s first successful double action semi-automatic pistols that were widely copied, but still made by Walther. The design inspired other pistols, among them the Soviet Makarov, the Hungarian FEG PA-63, the Argentinian Bersa Thunder 380, the Spanish Astra Constable, and the Czech CZ50. Although it was an excellent semi-automatic pistol, it had competitors in its time. The Mauser HSc pistol and the Sauer 38H pistol (a.k.a. model “H”), were successful in their own rights. Sauer pistol production ended at war’s end, but the refined SIG P230 and the P232 owe much to the Sauer 38H.

” ‘My sister will never forgive them,’ Horowitz wailed to the audience of some 200, then depicted the abyss of his own deprivation. He had never been allowed to go to Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies, but rather was forced to sit through uplifting Soviet features.”
(Alexander Cockburn MAY 29, 2003
CounterPunch Diary)

Also it is strange that he stated “I have myself once or twice used the threat of a suit to deter particularly scurrilous charges and to avoid the kind of damage that libel suits were made for. Alex Cockburn, for example, spent a lot of time at cocktail parties in the 1980s spreading the rumor that I was a CIA agent. In fact, I have never had contact with a CIA official or operative to my knowledge, or worked for any government agency or — with three exceptions — any outside employer for that matter.”
(Ibid, when being a CIA may be a technical term as he suggests regarding specific employment as in vacation pay and insurance coverage when the fact is he is very informative ipso facto an informer as in it would be nice if all informer for the US were known as much so as what occurred when the Kremlin’s files were opened.

Truly a character as strange as Pier Paolo Pasolini whose father was allegedly a fascist while his mother was allegedly a communist.

In your piece to which I responded your offices stated:

“The First scenario, President Obama advances without contest to a unanimous nomination. There is no recognizable Democratic challenger, no meaningful debate on key progressive issues or past broken promises, just a seamless, self-contained operation on its way to raising one billion dollars in campaign funds.

This scenario is what most observers expect. Mr. Obama will face neither opposition nor debate. He will have no need to clarify or defend his own polices or address the promises, kept and unkept, of his 2008 campaign. The president will not have to explain to his supporters why he directly escalated the war in Afghanistan and broadened America’s covert war in Pakistan, why he chose to engage in a military intervention in Libya, or why he has maintained the Bush Administration’s national security apparatus that allows for the suspension and abuse of constitutionally protected civil liberties–dismissing Congress all the way.”

I have been challenging, arguing and debating President Obama since he was running of the presidency, since he was nominated, since he was elected , since he bailed out Wall Street, since Arab Spring, since I refer to him as President George W. Obama, since progressives and democrats have stifled the debate, and betrayed the interests of the people and the state of the people of the Unites States, not to mention the world: while you fellows since as if “g-d” created you as blessed as part of the bourgeois process that under the Roman state was referred to as circuses.

In comment today after the Standard and Poor’s decision to lower the US bond rating from triple A (AAA) to double A (AA). Self-servingly House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) Friday said:

“Standard & Poor’s move to downgrade the United States’ credit rating is more evidence that lawmakers need to continue cutting deficits

“This decision by S&P is the latest consequence of the out-of-control spending that has taken place in Washington for decades” ***. Democrats “can no longer afford to tinker around the edges of our long-term debt problem,” adding that reform of entitlement programs is the key to long-term fiscal sustainability.

Such statements imply the Democrats are to blame when everyone knows they are not, that Ronald Reagan increased the budget and deficit, and George W Bush inherited a budget surplus that the Republicans squandered like spoiled rich bratty children intent on getting their own way.

I have not supported this president because I felt he was elected to represent the views of those who elected him not those who oppose him, which in Obama’s arrogance he has taken the votes of poor people for granted and between now and the 2012 election he has a lot to make up for, but we will not hear anything about Republican lies

16 “Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

IS “THE NEWS OF THE WORLD”EVIDENCE OF A CRIME?(http://templeofreason.org/news/?p=2158) for which I respectful ask hearing as the good lord is correct as Rupert Murdoch can criminally attempt in closing NOTW after 168 years of publication only to have it open again in essence under another name, exemplifying capitalism at its worst.

The question is asked “Who cares unless you’re a NOTW journalist?” which is expressed elsewhere nearsightedly “I shall shed no tear for any newspaper’s or magazine’s shut-down, as perhaps these days they think they own a newspaper by blogging online.

True TNOW was often trashy scandalous improper and even criminal but would these people shouting cheers for their demise do the same for any enterprise? In disregard that Rupert Murdoch wish to close it down as they cheer him on? Are they fools or clever accomplices a a crime of depriving British workers, British labor, any labor working at the NOTW proper treatment and respect?

I say close down the management, close down the large criminal stockholder investors ans support the good people, or has Britain forgot how to do such things?

This is an international crime also it is not solely British as the carpetbagger Murdoch takes his money out to stem the tide of fiscal blood in thinking he can take it and open shop any where though hopeful not near me. Thank you very much

If one makes long statement, some like children, argue it is too long, we would like to know where we are going, before getting there, where they know not yet, as they also state:

But if one makes their meals into small bite size pieces, in being easier to chew, those who get feed, soon also object that they are being lead on as :a carrot and stick” approach tempting them with the facilitation of easy answers on one hand, and frustrating them with complications on the other.

To which I confess to both as “life is a box of chocolates you never know what you will get” as of late it is rumored pursuant to my counsel some are rumored as making static in overtures to purchase TNOW unfortunately their “fleece is not as white as snow” but not Harvard crimson red, new devils presumed as unworthy as the old devil.

But who?

There is an evil seen under the sun, common among men: man given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. *** All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

For what is the difference between Wicked Leeks and the Australian Crawl none much perhaps but what is done today or tomorrow will be remembered more so than what in the future never comes.

“And we shall play a game of chess/The ivory men make company between us / Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door”

wandering page to page, and door to door,
the March Hare scampers perhaps yet in July,
the Mad Hatter sips tea,
before the hare which cries,
for nothing can be pleasant,
when all will surely die,
you betray me
by the time the cock crows thrice
who like my pretty neck may have it,
if it so honors both you and I,
in pardon pardon excuse excuse
as one can merely try xp

Procedural Question:
Pardon, on the question of pertinence,
so as to be on topic or, off,
does the rule apply to prosaic language,
or poetic forms of language,
as it has been said:
neither the twain shall ever meet.

Is that true, or one called a liar?
As the jester wears the royal crown?
As pretenders jest.

“Queen Elizabeth (reigned 1558-1603) is said to have rebuked one of her fools for being insufficiently severe with her. Excessive behavior, however, could lead to a fool being whipped, as Lear threatens to whip his fool.[1]^ a b “Notes on the Fool”. Royal Shakespeare Company

Perhaps The Register is MI6 or CIA funded?

I have addressed these reports by Democracy Now:

No where in what I saw did Amy Goodman or Juan Gonzalez mention the organization/s these people are alleged to been involved with.

It may seem unimportant but is all important in how people outside these groups frame the issues. This reporting is bad reporting, because it is insufficient. It an editorial without sufficient facts.

Perhaps assert one should rush out and support everyone who has been busted. No.

But also I have argued many have acted as brainless provocateurs, who unnecessarily attempts to suck people in, to involve them as pretexts to be investigated. This story as presented perpetuates that process.

In recent US times there have been many intrusions into the private lives of people, I myself complain of this, and it is unfair that Democracy Now acts irresponsibly as it does worsening matters.

Maybe these people raided have terrorist connections (what ever that means these days) in advancing their cause without clearly draw lines honestly involving people they would be wrong. Am I sympathetic to them yes, do I want to involve myself no. Would I support and involve myself in their support if I knew they belonged to responsible groups yes. Have American Left groups acted responsible? NO! They act like Obama and take left support for left groups for granted.

In essence these actions by the Obama Administration attempt to silence what can be very embarrassing in the 2012 Presidential elections as they continue to pursue the failed policies of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
