The sinister world of online arms dealing of guns on the dark web

THE dark web may be known as an online marketplace for the purchase and distribution of illicit drugs, but it is also home to something far more sinister.

With a digital wallet of bitcoin and a quick search of the dark web, someone could easily attempt to have an authentic AK-47 shipped directly to their door.
A recent analysis of the darknet from Vocativ discovered 281 listings of guns and ammunition across the dark web.

Even more concerning was the type of weapons readily available which included 16 submachine and machine guns, 12 sniper rifles and 40 assault rifles.
For those operating as arms dealers, business is so demanding it becomes a fulltime job.

“It’s a better option for most of us than regular civilian life,” a vendor from a marketplace told Vocativ.
“We don’t do much business face-to-face, so the unscrupulous characters you may expect from Hollywood are far and few in between.

“This is simply a very busy business, and usually it’s a 50-plus-hour workweek.”
In terms of customer base, the vendor admits to having all major countries in the world covered, although they primarily send to the USA, Australia, United Kingdom and Ireland.

When it comes to the dubious method of shipping, they have created some ingenious methods.
“Our favourite is power tools. Take the tool apart, mill out space for the firearm component and seal it back up,” the vendor said.

Have they found the dozen Bio hazard/chemical suits that went missing from a hospital in the area?
Makes me wonder if they are in talks about maybe implementing them in another attack... like ^^ up in yr post with regard to them attacking the Financial sector and schools.... maybe? Even still? Jmo

Why would they need to steal suits though? They could buy all of that stuff on Amazon, it isn't controlled the way firearms are.

After Fleeing Paris Attacks, Salah Abdeslam Went to Brussels Café With Friend

Of the six people to be charged in Belgian in connection with the attacks, three are accused of helping Salah Abdeslam escape

Snip

The friend, Ali Oulkadi, gave Mr. Abdeslam a lift to another part of the city, his lawyer said after a court hearing on Friday. The court decided to keep Mr. Oulkadi, who is accused of terrorist murders and participation in a terrorist organization, in detention for a further month.

Two weeks after the massacre at multiple Paris venues that killed 130 people, Mr. Abdeslam, who together with his brother Brahim rented the three cars used in the attacks, is still at large, despite frequent police raids and an unprecedented four-day lockdown in Brussels.

Out of the six people to be charged so far in Belgian in connection with the attacks, three were people accused of helping Mr. Abdeslam escape.

Hamza Attou and Mohammed Amri, arrested two days after the attacks, both admitted to having driven Mr. Abdeslam back from Paris on the night of the attacks and having dropped him off in Laeken, a district in the north of Brussels. They deny involvement in the Paris attacks.

Yeah all noted.. ask no questions tell no lies kinda thing. Just by saying "Dark Web" freaks me out. Altho it's only another portal to a lesser known part of the www. Now you know why the Military ran off it for years before the Public Sector (you n i) got into it.
Very shady. Very dangerous. You have NO idea who you are dealing with.

I must admit I have felt a little uneasy when doing my annual Christmas shopping in my local mall. Not really because of the recent Paris attacks by #daeshbags but the amount of extra uniformed police I've seen walking around.

I actually find their presence intimidating because it seems like they may be 'expecting' something to happen. I'd much rather they were in plain clothes or, if they're in uniform they don't stand so close to me. I think they'd be the first target of any gunman involved in a terrorist attack and I don't want to be 'collateral damage'.

This is not to say I'm not grateful to anyone who puts their life on the line to protect the public; I am. It's my problem, I don't want to be reminded there is still a threat of terrorism in my country.

To put it another way: if there's is a risk I'm going to be hit by a truck I want to be told of the risk but I don't want to be constantly reminded about it. Of course, if I'm about to walk into the truck's path I want someone to try to prevent it hitting me but I don't necessarily want my rescuer to be wearing a high visibility vest if the truck driver is a psychopathic killer.

Excuse me for bumping my own post but I just came across a quote from a great man that just might help with feelings of fear or unease in these uncertain times:

Oh, believe me, we Aussies are mad online shoppers. So much so, our government/retailers are constantly having kittens about the fact there is(was?) no GST payable on goods purchased OS as it's impacting on their profits/tax revenue.

btw Our favourite places to shop? UK/Europe and the US!

Now, we should get back on topic or risk turning this thread into a TVSN.

Plus they'd be assured of the quality. The 'gen article' would be certified to a degree. Whereas cheap 'knock offs' might not be 100% safe if they were to deploy a dirty bomb.

The witness statement also described how Abaaoud had boasted about slipping into Europe with refugees fleeing Syria's civil war and then spending two months in France undetected prior to the Nov. 13 attacks.

They (ISIS) said all along they'd enter European countries by mingling with refugees. Either from Syria via Greece and the boats. Or Calais with the Refugees at the camps there.

Associated Press reports:
A young man. Who states he lives Dunkirk was using his inflatable rigid speedboat to accommodate and transfer refugees/migrants from French coast to UK beaches.
He was found with his speedboat grounded on a shingle beach in Deal, Kent. Where he stated that he'd been offshore fishing when his twin engines were swamped by large waves in the early morning hours.
Sat on the kerbside. Cold and wet from his ordeal. Local resident took him in and fed him breakfast.
In which time the local Coast guard arrived to give him a hand. To get the craft going again. To find he had 16 life jackets aboard. And a fishing rod. That had no line on it.
So if he wasn't fishing the waters with no fishing line what was he doing?. The craft was impounded to which he had to pay in excess of €2,000 to release it. Meanwhile
LE were involved and a Search of the craft showed €40,000 stashed aboard.
Apparently he wasn't doing 'posh' fishing trips. He was charging refugees up to €10,000 for guaranteed entry to UK.

case continues. As it seems there was more than 1 boat and 1 person involved.

Turpin was arrested near Dunkirk earlier this month with five others, accused of being part of a &#8216;vast people trafficking ring' run by Albanian gangsters.

snip

This picture, taken on Kingston beach near Deal in October last year, and salvage documents seen by the Daily Mail, suggest Turpin has been making crossings for many months. The case raises serious questions about Britain&#8217;s coastal security.

How do the refugees afford the &#8364;10,000 (about $15,000)?
