What does 40,000 lbs of cocaine look like?

US Coast Guard offloaded more than 40,000 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $500 million from cutter Sherman -April 23, 2007, seized by the crew in three busts near Central America in February and March.



The offload will include approximately 38,000 pounds of cocaine seized in the largest cocaine bust in maritime history.


The Ecuadorian-flagged fishing vessel Don Juan K was approached in the Pacific Ocean Feb. 19 off the coast of Mexico while allegedly offloading cocaine into "go-fast" (cigarette-style boat) boats.

The fishing vessel's crew apparently set fire to Don Juan K in an attempt to destroy the evidence and flee in the go-fasts. Sherman's crew stopped the go-fasts and recovered about 900 pounds of cocaine as Don Juan K sank. The 14 crew members are being processed for further legal action.


The 330-foot Panamanian-flagged motor vessel Gatun was interdicted in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 18 off the coast of Panama while heading north toward the United States. Sherman's crew stopped and boarded the vessel and found 765 bales of cocaine weighing approximately 38,000 pounds in two shipping containers. Gatun was escorted back to Panama and its 14 crew members processed for further legal action.

Sherman's crew stopped and boarded a small stateless go-fast in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 25 off the coast of Panama following a short chase, in which, the go-fast attempted to flee at a high rate of speed. Approximately 2000 pounds of cocaine was found aboard the go-fast and its four crew members were processed for further legal action.

The Coast Guard works in close coordination with Joint Interagency Task Force South, U.S. Attorney's office, Panama Express South, DEA, FBI, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Departments of Justice, State and Homeland Security on counter drug operations in the Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. These drug smuggling routes are some of the most active, yielding roughly 70% of the cocaine seized annually by the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard has kept about two million pounds of cocaine from reaching US streets since 1973.

Wannabe Retards teaching me Lessons

So I was on YouTube today, and DaxFlame one of my Subscribtions posted a video. On his Channel page I found this written:

"If you fight fire with fire, you will just make a bigger fire. Yes.
But if you fight fire with crystals, and ice bulbs, you will put the fire out and the crystals will turn to diamonds!" -
Daxflame


Make a lot of sense for me. Think about it

You Are 89% Creative



You are an incredibly creative person. For you, there are no bounds or limits to your creativity.
Your next creation could be something very great... Or at least very cool!


woot woot !!

I oftenely think that I'm lacking from creativity, though my imagination never gives a damn break -for example the other day I was having a very serious talk with a very old friend of mine, then I gave a glimpse to an advert at the background. There it was. My faithful distraction, I could still percieve what was being told and also could reason out what I had heard but my answers were always yes or no- however, thats the least of my problems regarding my wild imagination and creativity.
Sometimes these things override my life, it happend numerous
times (and will still happen no matter what) that while I am trying to reason out the 'What Can I do to solve this problem?' question my imagination tries to hypnotize me into daydreaming...
The other day, I was thinking about my future and immediately Mr Creativity and his loving partner, Ms Imagination, came up to me saying: 'Hey why don't you become a gamedesigner!' -surely its this isn't a dream, it would be more like an orgasm- however I know that such a thing is to the least possible... (Paulo Coelho would disagree with me on this fact, his book The Alchemist, talks the dream of a guy and he just leaves everything and follows it.)

Whatever. Dont Forget to live by

P.S.: I have limited my self on writing one post per day. I found out that I can be much more wildly expressive by this fact.

I like monkeys

I keep falling off my chair with the lulz when I read this story.

The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys. I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.
