Cocaine Traffickers Submarines Semi-Submersibles

Cocaine Traffickers Submarines Semi-Submersibles

Thanks to The Dinnertime Bandit for sending me this:

Squat, bull-necked and sullen-looking, Enrique Portocarrero hardly seems a dashing character out of a Jules Verne science fiction novel.

But law enforcement officers here have dubbed him “Captain Nemo,” after the dark genius of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” They say the 45-year-old has designed and built as many as 20 fiberglass submarines, strange vessels with the look of sea creatures, for drug traffickers to haul cocaine from this area of southern Colombia to Central America and Mexico.

Capping a three-year investigation that involved U.S. and British counter-narcotics agents, Colombia’s FBI equivalent, the Department of Administrative Security, arrested Portocarrero last month in the violent port city of Buenaventura, where he allegedly led a double life as a shrimp fisherman.

A day later, they descended on Portocarrero’s hidden “shipyard” in a mangrove swamp 20 miles south of here and destroyed two of the vessels, which police say were each capable of carrying 8 tons of cargo.

“He had a marvelous criminal vision,” Colombian navy Capt. Luis German Borrero said. “He introduced innovations such as a bow that produced very little wake, a conning tower that rises only a foot above the water and a valve system that enables the crew to scuttle the sub in 10 minutes. He is very ingenious.”

Authorities say they know little about Portocarrero except that he was arrested in 2003 on drug charges and soon released, a fact he relayed with a smirk when he was nabbed last month. Most important, he once worked at a dry dock in Buenaventura, where he apparently learned his craft.

Portocarrero was living well. Police, who reported finding $200,000 hidden in the spare tire of his car, say he had invested his reputed $1-million-per-vessel fees in the purchase of five shrimp boats.

Dubai’s Palazzo Versace Hotel Refrigerated Beach

» 16 December 2008 » In Travel » 1 Comment

Dubai’s Palazzo Versace Hotel Refrigerated Beach

Sometimes the creativity that blistering hot weather breeds is truly mind-boggling: Pallazo Versace Hotel has decided to create a temperature controlled beach extending out and around its new hotel in Dubai, so that the “top people” (ugh) don’t burn their feet.

“We will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on,” says Soheil Abedian, president of Palazzo Versace. Of course, it’s “pure luxury” that the super rich want. REALLY!?

Climate change, eco-tourism, environment, throw them all out the window and you get Dubai, money, and ludicrous.

They’re going to put heat-absorbing pipes under the sand, refrigerate the hotel swimming pool, and have giant air coolers to keep the guests cool in Dubai’s scorching 104F-122F summer heat. The thermostats used in the system will be computer controlled. The hotel is planned to be ready by 2010.

Call it competition, call it thrill, call it whack-job, call it destructive tourism for the filthy rich; do these “top people” for whom this barbarity is being created, care? What is the point? Oh tourism $$$ of course!

Well, environmentalists are more than shrugging: “Dubai is like a bubble world where the things that are worrying the rest of the world, like climate change, are simply ignored so that people can continue their destructive lifestyles,” says Rachael Noble of Tourism Concern. I share the disgust in that statement.

Really no need for this.

Just keep the beach stocked with topless models and I will be there.

How To Pick Up Ethiopian Girls

How To Pick Up Ethiopian Girls

Roosh, who writes a blog I read, recently wrote a post titled “How To Pick Up An Ethiopian Girl“.

Having never swooped an Ethiopian Girl, he wrote some “hypotheticals” about how he would do it:

“I think Ethiopian girls are disproportionately beautiful, with their mahogany skin color, large eyes, high cheekbones, huge breasts and ass, and wild exotic hair. But unfortunately for non-Ethiopian men everywhere they keep to their own circle, judged by the fact that I have never seen a white guy with an Ethiopian girl. It’s not fair but that’s life.

Buy Roosh’s Book “Bang: More Lays In 60 Days” Here

My postings on game and girls is from experience, but I’m going to have to branch out here and share with you a plan on how I’m going to get my Ethiopian flag. As a Caucasian man limited by his non-Ethiopianness, the plan is based on… exaggerations.

Buy Roosh’s Book “Bang: More Lays In 60 Days” Here

Once I find an Ethiopian girl to approach (shouldn’t be hard considering that Washington DC has more Ethiopians than any other city outside of Ethiopia), I will attack with this two-pronged strategy:”

Continue Reading

Since I am a former “Prince of 18th Street”, I figured I will tell you how its done:

Language

Learn a little of the language. For starters, “Salaam” is Hello. “Dehna nesh?” is How are you? etc. The best person to learn Ethiopian from is of course a fly Ethiopian girl. So each one you meet will help you be more succesful with the next. A Domino effect of sorts.

Dress sharp

This actually applies to swooping all types of girls. Wear something like a one button Ozwald Boateng (ticket pocket), with a Purple Haze Borelli Shirt (no pocket), Brioni Pocket Square on Gucci Loafers.

Adams Morgan

Know the streets of Adams Morgan like any Prince of the Street should. Know the restaurant owners, bar owners, liquor store owners and even the kids fliping rocks on the side streets. Know where to get an illegal cocktail at 4:30am

Culture

Know the history of Ethiopians in DC. Also know that the majority of the Ethiopians in DC are from the capital, Addis Ababa. They are city slickers. Ethiopians in San Diego and Los Angeles are from the country. Different dynamic. A different skill set to swoop applies. And a small piece of knowledge like that will bring you above the fray.

Be Smooth

Take it slow with Ethiopian Girls. These aren’t Orange County girls at a Bachelorette Party at Rehab Sundays. Don’t act like every other idiot in DC when you talk to them. Be smooth. International Playboy style.

Injera Bread

This falls under knowing their culture and having respect for it. Get Zed’s on Lock.

Know how to dance

Ethiopians Girls can dance. It can get pretty hypnotic. You are going to have to hold your own. Some salsa moves can usually get you a pass.

X factor

Do me a favor. I have to keep some moves to myself.

Side note:

These moves work on Eritrean and Somalian girls too. Although there are some nuances with each.

Much respect to Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia.

Victoria’s Secret’s fashion show at Fontainebleau Hotel Miami Beach

“The glamour is back,”an unseen announcer proclaimed to the crowd as the lights dimmed to start the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Surely she was speaking about the renovated Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, which hosted the event. The seductive lingerie line has always been about making the masses feel glamorous.

The runway show, with a pink-carpet entrance and supermodels including Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, was the highlight of the Fontainebleau’s weekend-long grand reopening festivities, and it didn’t disappoint. Saturday night was packed with spectacle: raining confetti, a hot pop star (Usher), the Victoria’s Secret angel wings, a $5 million diamond-encrusted bra, even fireworks in front of the hotel’s famed facade.

It’s not the first time the annual event has hit Miami, but was the first time it was filmed here for television. In 2004, producers gave up the TV program in lieu of a four-city Angels Across America tour to promote the Victoria’s Secret brand, stopping in New York, Miami, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
