| The National Interest: The Classic Remington Model 1100 Shotgun: All-Around Excellence Through the Decades | |||||||||
Richard Douglas Security, Americas  We explain what makes this firearm among the best in the world.
The Remington Model 1100 has been the quintessential shotgun for homestead defenders, pro skeet shooters, and hunters of all experience levels for more than fifty years.
An extremely successful design of simplicity in the best ways has made this Remington one of the most popular autoloading all-purpose shotguns. With so many productions and guns out there, some older than the Ford Mustang, the temptation to purchase used is something that many buyers consider.
Accuracy
There is no question that the Remington is lethal. Regardless of barrel, load, or caliber, this baby was made to demolish any well-aimed target within 30 yards. Longer barrels, up to a whopping 30, are best for long-range trap shoots or hunting.
The Remington has proven synonymous with waterfowl hunting since its inception. Any time Im out on a hunt with my bird dogs and buddies, Im not the only one with my Remington at my side. Field-load performs with the same accuracy seen with target-load thanks to brilliant design. The consistency in popularity among my fellow hunters speaks volumes for reliable accuracy on target.
Also a regular in competitions and skeet shooting, the deadly accuracy of the Remington 1100 is legendary.
Reliability
Introduced in 1963, the Remington has a venerable reputation of reliability and toughness.
The clean design and ease of tear down for regular maintenance, make for easy long term care as well as easy access to the bits and pieces that can indicate if the Remington you are considering is up to snuff with its peers. A simple check of the O-ring for wear and tear can be a great clue to the upkeep from previous owners.
Regular cleaning will keep this champion of temerity free from failure for decades. Ive always paid close attention to the gas system where the gas ports meet the tube and watch to keep the crud that can collect there at bay.
As long as you stick to cleaning your Remington regularly, with a full break down after each day of shooting, this weapon will reward you with unwavering reliability.
Handling
The feel of the Remington 1100 shotgun is quite simply put, the way a shotgun should feel.
Perhaps this is due to the comfort of such a regular presence on the hunt dating back to my primary years, but Remington has evolved with the times and continues to maintain excellence in feel and handling.
Now you can find everything from the classic black with engraved walnut forend and stock, options that are fully wrapped in camo covering, all the way to a more futuristic tactical black and synthetic line. No matter which generation you choose, they will all have that same high-quality solid feel, without any rattle or wiggle.
Now I prefer the classic wood and black Remington, but that may be simply because thats what I grew up with, out in the fields. It feels good in the hand. Better, I think, than the synthetic 30 barrelled options, designed for skeet. The slick skeet options have a clean silver nickel finish, which is a smooth and mean look. Call me nostalgic though, because I still prefer my engraved stock and warm walnut any day.
Trigger
Most of the Remingtons, any that have gone through the years without being modified anyway, will have a solid and smooth nickel trigger that trips with just over 4 lbs. of pressure.
The trigger on used weapons needs attention to ensure good wear. A worn or loose carrier dog can prevent the trigger from engaging as its supposed to. Failure to identify this with some testing on a range can result in weapon jams.
The safety tends to be a bit clicky, and could potentially scare small game off if you arent careful, but overall the mechanisms are tried and true. You shouldnt have any trouble getting comfortable with your trigger pull on this steady horse.
Magazine and Reloading
The Remington 1100 carries four shots in the tube and one in the chamber and is a semi-auto shotgun designed to be used in any situation.
For my hunting, the muscle memory of loading has become so second nature that I have little issue with getting reloaded. You can modify it to a standard loading gate or an easy loader if you need to reload quickly. Especially for competition shooters, the modification may be what best suits.
There is also an ambidextrous bolt release, aka carrier release, to allow anyone the comfort of a quick reload.
Length and Weight
The length and weight of the Remington 1100 can be just as varied as the engraving and check patterns that youll find. This is a shotgun that comes in all shapes and sizes.
The evolution of the shotgun ranges from field guns, longer barrels for skeet and trap, to engraved keepsakes. Barrel lengths vary from the shortest 18 barrels to 30 for long-range accuracy. Those longest of barrels will put the overall length to a whopping 50 gun.
Averaging in weight between 8 to 9lbs, this solid weapon is a good carry that is balanced well. There just isnt anything much better than early morning, with my Remington settled perfectly in the crook of my arm, barrel down to the ground like my setters nose as we stalk along.
The barrels can be changed out for different uses. So, if you find the perfect Remington that may not be the appropriate length, its quite simple to adjust to what best suits.
Recoil Management
Recoil management is what makes the Remington 1100 shine.
The design, with its heft and balance, combined with the gas-operated action, makes this soft shooter a stand-out performer with significantly lower recoil. If you are testing used, a heavy kick may be a clue that something isnt quite right.
Remington technology continues to improve as the years go by. Simply modifications can be made to older weapons, or to those in need of some TLC, to improve the recoil management on any Remington. Shock absorbers or recoil pads are easy to install and can make the smooth fire even better.
Price
The price of the Remington, like so many other features, is as varied as the weapon itself.
You can easily find new Remington models priced well into $1,300 to $1,500 MSRP, and conversely, you will find an array of used models at an extremely modest $400 to $600.
This good news means that it is incredibly easy to find a reasonably affordable choice to start competing, as a first hunting shotgun or a wise choice for home defense. Attention to details in the used market, like a check for rust in the extractor-plunger hole, missing small pieces like the mag spring retainer or worn seals, can save incredible amounts of money.
My Verdict?
Theres a reason theyve been making this shotgun since 1963. Consistency in performance and a stellar reputation are well earned in the Remington 1100. Simple sleuthing in the used market may be worth your while. Investing in the latest technology for a weapon that will last your lifetime will be a good buy. No question here. No matter what look, caliber, barrel, or configuration you decide on, this is the perfect shotgun. Four million and counting...

| Voice of America - English: Explainer: Why Revolt in Belarus is Different From Ukraine | |||||||||
A former Soviet republic on the fault line between Russia and Europe is boiling with revolt this summer. Sounds familiar but Belarus 2020 isn't Ukraine 2014, and that's why it's hard to predict what will happen next. Here is a look at what's different this time, and why it matters: No real leader The uprising in Belarus erupted last week in a democratic vacuum, in a country where challengers to President Alexander Lukashenko are jailed or exiled and where there is no experienced parliamentary opposition. So those at the forefront of Minsk protest marches have been ordinary Belarusians, instead of established political leaders like those who helped galvanize crowds and funding for Ukraine's 2014 protest movement, centered around the Maidan independence square in Kyiv. In Belarus, "the absence of bright leaders undoubtedly weakens the protests ... Leaders bring awareness," independent political analyst Valery Karbalevich said. So Belarusian protesters formed a new Advisory Council this week to try to "offer the street a clear plan and agenda," he said. However, opposition figure Maria Kolesnikova argues that the mass protests this month in Minsk, which came together in decentralized clusters via messaging app Telegram, show that Belarusians no longer need a vertical hierarchy telling them what to do. And a leaderless protest has one key advantage, she said: "It cannot be beheaded." Orderly protests When unprecedented crowds of 200,000 people marched through the tidy, broad avenues of Minsk on Sunday, they came to a halt at red traffic lights, waiting obediently until they turned green. In Ukraine, by contrast, "protesters burned tires and threw Molotov cocktails," said Syarzhuk Chyslau, leader of the Belarusian White Legion organization. That's in part because the Minsk marches lack the kind of far-right and neo-Nazi militant groups that joined Ukraine's uprising and fanned the violence. It's also because Belarusians aren't driven by the deep-seated anger at Russian influence that fueled Ukraine's uprisings in 2004 and 2014, or Georgia's ground-breaking Rose Revolution in 2003. While Ukraine has been geopolitically split between pro-West and pro-Russian camps since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Belarusians are broadly Moscow-friendly. Not a single European Union flag has appeared at the Minsk rallies, and the protesters aren't pursuing NATO membership at the Kremlin's expense; they just want to freely choose their own leader after an election they believe was stolen from them. Pavel Latushko, a former Lukashenko loyalist now on the protesters' Advisory Council, hopes this could allow Belarusians to count on help from both Brussels and Moscow to settle the current tensions. "If the EU and Russia together acted as a mediator in resolving the Belarusian crisis, this would be an ideal option," Latushko told The Associated Press. Economics While Ukraine's protest movement built a huge tent camp in the center of Kyiv, complete with food delivery and security forces, the only perks for protesters in Belarus so far are bottles of water. "There are no oligarchs in Belarus who would give money for hot meals, medical treatment and tents. Even to pay police fines, Belarusian protesters collect money themselves," analyst Alexander Klaskouski said. Unlike Ukraine's largely privatized economy, Belarus' economy remains 80% state-run, and little has evolved since the Soviet era. That makes it even more remarkable that workers at state-run factories have joined this week's protests and strikes. "The structure of the economy allowed Ukrainians not to be afraid of the state, which in Belarus could throw any person out on the street with nothing at all," said Klaskouski. The EU and U.S. also had economic interests in Ukraine before its 2014 uprising, but have only a marginal role in the largely closed-off Belarusian economy. Moscows role Given that, the Kremlin can't easily portray Belarus' protests as a Western-backed effort to sow chaos in its backyard the way it could in Ukraine. Russia used that argument to justify its annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine in a war that still simmers, six years on. But Russia's role in Belarus is pivotal, as the country's top trade partner and main military ally. So far, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear to Germany and France that they should steer clear of any interference, but hasn't revealed how he wants to deal with the protesters or with Lukashenko, the only leader in the former Soviet space who's been in power longer than Putin himself. Potential parallels Ukraine has been a cacophonous democracy for much of the 29 years since winning independence from the USSR, and Belarus is dubbed Europe's last dictatorship but they share some similarities. "Lukashenko made the same mistake as [former Ukrainian President Viktor] Yanukovych he began to brutally beat peaceful protesters, which sparked a tsunami of popular protest, insulted dignity and triggered a revolution," said analyst Vladimir Fesenko, director of the Penta Center in Kyiv. Belarusian economist Dmitry Rusakevich, 46, participated in the Kyiv protests on the Maidan, and now goes out to Minsk's Independence Square every evening. "Maidan woke up Belarusians and showed that we need to fight for freedom," he said. "It took the calm Belarusians a long time to muster the courage to say no to the dictator."  | |||||||||

| Trump campaign in 'substantially better position' than four years ago | |||||||||
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner is confident President Trump will win a second term in November after the Democratic National Convention.
Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law, said Democrats laid out a negative future for the country as opposed to what the Republicans have planned this week at their own convention, which will take place Aug. 24-27. "We saw the Democrats with a dark vision for America," Kushner said Sunday on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, adding, "President Trump represents the American people. Hes the outsider president, and I think youll see a very hopeful version vision for America that hes going to be unleashing. Youre going to see a real diversity of the Republican Party that hes built. Youre going to see its gonna be different than how the media tells you." Despite polling giving Democratic nominee Joe Biden ahead, Kushner argued the Trump campaign is doing better than it was in 2016 and aims to propose policy solutions to problems facing the nation, which he claimed Democrats lacked at their convention. Despite criticism about Trump's belief that mass mail-in voting risks election fraud, Kushner also defended the president suggesting in-person voting should be a safe option despite the coronavirus pandemic. "We have a way of voting thats been tried and true for many years," Kushner said. "People are comfortable with it. The president tweeted the other day, if you can protest in-person, you can vote in-person." | |||||||||

| Belarusian protesters pack capital, army issues warning | |||||||||
 Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters packed the streets of Minsk on Sunday as the army waded into Belarus’ political crisis, warning that it, not the police, would respond to any opposition unrest near the city’s national memorials.Demonstrations have been held in the capital and other Belarusian towns since Aug. 9, when an election which protesters describe as rigged granted veteran leader Alexander Lukashenko a sixth term in office. The streets of Minsk turned red and white as a flood of demonstrators carried flags symbolising their opposition to Lukashenko, demanding he quit after 26 years in power and new elections be held, videos showed. They marched towards a monument that was surrounded by a chain of security service members clad in military uniform, a Reuters witness said. The defence ministry said it had now taken over responsibility for the protection of such memorials, and that any unrest near them would elicit a response from the army. Describing the protesters as “fascists” and writing the majority of its statement in capital letters, the defence ministry said the memorials, specifically to victims of the World War Two, were holy sites that must not be desecrated. “WE CATEGORICALLY WARN: ANY VIOLATION OF PEACE AND ORDER IN SUCH PLACES – YOU WILL HAVE THE ARMY TO DEAL WITH NOW, NOT THE POLICE.” In a statement the Belarus interior ministry warned that any unsanctioned protests were considered illegal and said 22 people had been arrested the previous day, when smaller-scale protests took place across 55 towns and cities. | |||||||||
| Report: Israel pushed NSO spyware to Gulf states to help track dissidents | The Times of Israel | |||||||||

The Israeli government officially mediated the sale of spyware made by private firm NSO Group to a number of Gulf nations to help them in surveillance of opposition figures, in deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars over the past few years, the Haaretz daily reported on Sunday.
Contracts were reportedly signed with Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the emirates of Abu Dhabi and Ras Al-Khaimah. The report said Israel prohibited NSO from working with Qatar, an ally of Iran. A product sold in Europe for $10 million can be sold in the Gulf for ten times that, an individual familiar with the financials of NSO told the newspaper. The report said that representatives of the Israeli government participated in some meetings between intelligence officials from Arab states and executives from NSO. Some of those meetings were said to have been held in Israel.
According to the report, the Israeli company only worked with governments and official organizations, but did not distinguish between democracies and dictatorships and had little sway over how the technology was used.
The company was said to have a team dedicated to sales in the Gulf, whose members all had foreign passports to ease travel. The report said each country was given a code name based on a car manufacturer beginning with the first letter of the countrys name: Saudi Arabia was Subaru, Bahrain was BMW and Jordan was Jaguar.
The report said that in NSOs latest iteration of its hacking software, Pegasus 3, simply supplying the program with the phone number of the device one wants to hack usually allows the operator access to the device within several hours, with no action required by the targeted user.
Additionally, the report said NSO can fully control its software remotely, and shut it down or examine the intelligence being collected by its clients in real time.
Pegasus allows agents to effectively take control of a phone, surreptitiously controlling its cameras and microphones from remote servers and vacuuming up personal data and geolocations.
The company was said to have shut down the use of its software in Mexico after it was used against journalists, but the report said no such action had been taken in any of the Gulf states.
NSO is said to have also hired former Israeli security officers to help with the analysis of the Gulf information, separate to the phone hacking, as regimes were said to be struggling to make sense of the volume of data.
Unidentified employees told Haaretz that although the company has claimed it carefully regulates use of its software to only allow the tracking of criminals and suspected terrorists, there were no actual checks on its use.
According to the report, the software is designed to self-destruct if it detects the device it has been installed on has crossed a border into Israel, Iran, Russia, China or the United States.

NSO Group CEO Shalev Hulio denied any connection to the incident. The report pointed out that the companys compliance rules differ from country to country, allowing the possibility that a Saudi dissident could be labeled a terrorist. Earlier this month, Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced a deal to normalize relations, bringing ties into the open that had been conducted in the shadows for many years.
A 2019 Amnesty International report found that UAE authorities subjected detainees, including foreign nationals, to arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and enforced disappearance.
A Human Rights Watch report for 2019 found that UAE authorities have launched a sustained assault on freedom of expression and association since 2011. The UAE arbitrarily detains and forcibly disappears individuals who criticize the authorities within the UAEs borders.
In response to the Haaretz reported NSO issued a statement denying the claims made.
The claims in the article are false and untrue. We are very proud of our technology, which each and every day helps to foil terror and prevent serious crime and pedophilia around the world, while we fully meet our compliance and human rights policy, which is unprecedented in the world, the statement read.
Last month a US judge ruled that a lawsuit brought by WhatsApp against NSO Group can go ahead, meaning the Israeli spyware firm could be compelled to reveal information about its clients and practices, the Guardian reported.

The lawsuit said the Pegasus software developed by NSO was designed to be remotely installed to hijack devices using the Android, iOS, and BlackBerry operating systems. NSO Group has previously claimed that it only licenses its software to governments for fighting crime and terror and that it investigates credible allegations of misuse, but activists argue the technology has been instead used for human rights abuses.

FBI posts anti-Semitic text 'The Protocol of the Elders of Zion' on TwitterAfter backlash, FBI says file of text that claims that the Jews plan to take over the world was uploaded automatically under the Freedom of Information Act and "regrets" the distress it might have caused.
Without providing context, an official FBI Twitter account shared a link to a copy on the bureau's website of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an infamous and classic anti-Semitic text.
The fabrication, which was shown to be plagiarized from several earlier sources, was first published in Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. The Twitter post about the text, whose author is unknown and which scapegoats Jews such as baselessly claiming there's a Jewish plan for world domination, ignited a backlash. Historian Simon Schama tweeted "that this has to be done right away! Appalling not have explanatory context " The FBI file shared on Twitter includes reports from the FBI classifying the book as false, a 1964 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which they label the text as "fabricated" and "crude and vicious nonsense," and several letters to former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover about a resurgence of the text. It also contains a letter from a so-called confidential informant who sent Hoover the Protocols and other inflammatory content about a baseless Jewish Communist conspiracy in 1949 and Hoover's polite note thanking said informant. In a statement, the FBI said that the file was posted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) "Earlier today, FOIA materials were posted to the FBI's Vault and FOIA Twitter account via an automated process without further outlining the context of the documents. We regret that this release may have inadvertently caused distress among the communities we serve," said the bureau. The FBI makes records requested by three or more requesters available to the public by posting on the "Vault," the FBI's electronic FOIA reading room located on the FBI's website. As per standard procedure for FOIA, these materials became available for release and were posted automatically. The FBI's FOIA Twitter account (@FBIRecordsVault) is automated and automatically tweets new Vault posts as they are published on the Vault website. New posts added to the Vault will appear on the Vault's "Recently Added" page. An automated system monitors that page via an RSS feed and feeds links to new FOIA releases onto the @FBIRecordsVault Twitter account. |
