I had a dream the other night that, when I didn't understand, a figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free.
and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent.
Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled.
You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn.
and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?
Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame.
For even now his parents trampled each God-given right. We only watched him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Still the land of the free.
Excuse me, the intelligence report in the afternoon. I'm Mark Kornke. This is the second hour, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. East, northeast, southeast, and gentlemen, you are listening to us on We The People Radio Network, WTPRN.com. Also on Liberty Tree Radio, LTR.
We're on AM&FM microstations, AM&FM regular stations, high to our friends in southeast Ohio. Also AM&FM, based of the Mississippi. Also on Galaxy 25, boy the list is getting longer. And hopefully on shortwave very soon, we're working on that right now. And yes, for our friends who have been waiting, we're going to be contacting people asking about support slash sponsorship.
So for those who are listening that have proposed providing support in that area, we're working on it. And it's been an ongoing busy, busy week, and here it is only Wednesday. It is Weapons Wednesday, and of course, Don was with us the last hour. We're open phone lines. We have David waiting in the wings here. And if you give me just a second, David, I'm going to bring you up. I always like to provide solutions. Another company, now these guys have been in business for a while. It's called Tap.
TAPCO. They have a number of different, of course you've got the entire battery of contact numbers, but 1-800-554-1445. Their website is www.bigletters.com. So it's www.tapco.com.
If you want a catalog request, use their ground line at 406-255-1292.
Is this going to be a video game we're going into? It certainly is not. So here's the thing. 500 rounds that are misses do not constitute a cumulative hit. There's not a single miss or combination of misses that equals a hit. More important that you put one round on the target and dump the target down, knock it down, make it stop, in other words, stop it in its tracks, as opposed to hoping to scare it to death through volume fire. Okay?
It's that simple. Number one is most important. Know how your weapon functions. Know where your weapon hits. Know how to make your weapon hit repeatedly on the same area that you want to apply it to every time. So I am more concerned with does your weapon work? Does your weapon work well? If your weapon breaks, do you have spare power? Okay, can you fix it in the field?
If your weapon is broken in the field, you are a useless tool. And your weapon becomes a useless tool. Okay? So if the weapon breaks, can you disengage from the action or stay in action by, whoa, that's right, reaching down to your pistol belt or reaching over to your shoulder holster, pulling out the handgun you're supposed to be carrying as a backup, and continuing to become part of the fight to support your friends who are in the field? When there is a break in contact and
hopefully you have survived the action because you've helped to sustain the fight. Do you have the parts in the field to maintain and supply the weapon, you know, retool the weapon accordingly? Is there a spring broken? Is there an extractor or ejector problem? Is there a firing pin breakage? Do you have a small spring that failed and with the end, by the way, I just went through the whole list for the air 15. Okay, that doesn't mean it's a piece of junk some days, but it's a good piece of junk. So if you got it, just know what's wrong with it and make sure you're ready to fix it.
true of other arms. Each firearm that is in the field has specific quirks. Here's the cool thing. These weapons, we have so many of them and we have been able to test and use them that we know what goes wrong basically with each weapon system. What's going to fail on the AK? Little or nothing, but just in case, firing pin extractor and ejector are a good idea. Why? Well, now the ejector is a special issue, so let's not worry about that. It varies depending on what kind of parts kit you can pick up.
but extractor and also the firing pin. Hey, they're a dime a dozen, they're all over the place. You can buy the whole bolt carrier for a very reasonable price. You gotta shop around, see who's got them in stock still. But you can find the parts. The most important thing is once you find them, putting them on the weapon. Now I've covered this on Weapons Wednesday before, so I'm not gonna get real super in depth right now, except to say that the reason I brought up Tapco, okay, Tapco.com or 1-800-554-4.
1-4-4-5 is because they have a lot of the odd aftermarket stocks or kits, pistol grips for instance, that have the stowage chambers built into them and they have a good keeper design system. This affords more places to carry spare parts or equipment on the weapon.
Why do I want on the weapon? Well, if I end up bare butt naked but I still hold onto my rifle when all else fails, the parts that I need if there is a problem are on the firearm. If I throw the firearm in storage and I walk away, my web gear isn't in one location and my spare parts are in another location with the web gear, my rifle is in another. Instead, these small spare parts, if the weapon is properly configured,
can be carried on the firearm where they're needed, when they're needed. Now, a subroutine to this, and I was talking and explaining to somebody about this earlier today, there is an entire formula that the CIA uses with regard to battlefield evaluations when it comes to any type of action. One of the concepts that they, or one of the issues that they formulate into the action is attrition through components.
If you have a certain weapon system, trust me, they have evaluated the weapon system's potential. They know that certain components are breakage issues. If you deny the spare parts, you know that within a six month, two year period, you're going to have a complete cycle and breakdown of a majority of the arms in a category that is listed, be it heavy, medium, or light arms.
Well, this is part of how they also supply troops in the field. And ammunition is another part of that issue with regard to depriving the fighting force on the ground ammunition. You give them enough to get killed, but not enough to win. See how that works? Well, I'm addressing all of the issues that we know the other side is hoping you would not think of. You wouldn't consider. Spare parts is one of them. Ammunition, of course, we have covered over and over again. So it is important that you think these things through.
Now, I mentioned the other day, even if you have an odd firearm, if you can't get firing pens, extractors, ejectors and springs, that's fine. If you have, for instance, a Moss bolt-action rifle sitting on the shelf and you found one and hey, you got it for free, you know how many of those I've gotten for free? I can't count them, because most people didn't know there was ammunition for them. Well, you take it, you clean it up, you go through the whole thing, top to bottom, you redress it so it's field-worthy.
You go to the gun shows or you shop around for all these different companies and you find a few hundred rounds or at least a hundred rounds. Buy one hundred rounds of ammunition. Store it the way we described or discussed on the air. Put it with a rifle and you've got a key, you've got a handout weapon. Put some web gear with it and you've got everything a person needs. Here's his web gear, here's a rifle. Well that's a hell of a lot better than a butter knife.
And I have a big drawer of butter knives just for the people who show up last who are going to get stuck with that if they're going to go out and if they want to go out and arm themselves. They're going to have to take the butter knife, go out, find somebody in the bad guy uniform and come back with their AK. Okay? It's that simple. Come back with the AK-74, come back with the AR rifle that they're carrying, whatever it is, and they're going to be nicely armed. Okay? Seems that we have to be thinking through now in preparation so we don't go out with a butter knife.
It's that simple. But also again, accuracy over volume fire. If you can place one round where it needs to be, you can follow up on the second round by using the second round on the next target that pops up. And you still got plenty left in the magazine and hopefully plenty left on the LBE, the load bearing equipment. Okay. I want to address that quick, but we've got David who's been so patient because he's waited before the top of the hour. Dave, are you there? Yes, sir. Okay, go right ahead, sir, please.
Great show, man. I've stumbled upon it here, but you've provided some really useful information, you know? Well, we haven't... That's one of the things we've been doing for years. Just getting on board. Basically, I was wondering if you could answer a question about the newer... Yes. And I purchased one of those, and depending on who you talk to, you get three different people have three different opinions on these newer...
I guess it's mainly the receiver. Right, they went with, I think that on the newer models, they went with the infusion again, but they went with a higher temp infusion casting as opposed to a single millet. They usually go, traditionally they've gone with a single millet block of metal. They've milled down from one component. Now, I don't know that the, I will say this, I have, well, there again, okay, we've built lots of M1As.
I can't count the number of M1As because back in the 80s a vast number of TRW kits came through. There were three or four other companies competing against Springfield Armory that were producing receivers. I have not seen a bad Springfield Armory receiver yet, I'll say that. There are different grades and to be quite honest Springfield has... let's put it this way. Springfield has stayed in the business
and has continued to produce a very high quality firearm period. There's not a Springfield rifle, Springfield Armory rifle, that I wouldn't grab and carry. And I've carried at least a dozen of them for, well, for training or test purposes. And I was originally trained on the M14. I would take the M14 in a heartbeat, and I could dot your eye at 650 yards without a problem. So the weapon itself is an excellent choice.
Springfield's newer receivers I would have to look at because the only variation would be that they've gone to an infusion casting system and I don't know if they have. So it would be also a change in the metal. I think they're using 4140 chromoly. I don't think 4140. Yeah 4140 I'm pretty sure. 4140 millet block.
But you'd have to double check that and that that may be the only change otherwise it's experience That's why their weapons work when you pull them out of the box and I'd like to throw that Apple feed shoot out there to anybody that doesn't know about it yet. Oh, I just wanted you know, basically they're in the shotgun news they the shotgun news I'm gonna try and go to the one here in Texas. So if anybody doesn't know about that, I mean is there you have the daytime in place
I didn't have it right here with me. I figured there was something you might already know about or something. I've heard of it. I just haven't had a chance to put it out. I'll tell you what, you can do me a favor Dave, and even if it's tomorrow, if you want to call in, if you give the daytime in place for the shoot, we'd be more than happy to make sure it gets up on the air. We want you to bring it up on the air if you would. Alright, sure. Okay. Now, again, the one thing about the M14, the sad part is, I don't know if you remember, is that, you know, we're going to go to break. Stay right there for a second.

Nuclear reactors provide economical energy, but would you be prepared during an accident? During nuclear disasters, great amounts of radioactive iodine are released into the atmosphere, which are then readily absorbed into the body. Medical cores, potassium iodate gives you virtually complete protection from the most feared consequence of a nuclear accident. Radiactive poisoning, potassium iodate can protect against radioactive
poisoning by filling the thyroid with good iodine. This shields the thyroid and prevents it from absorbing a harmful radioactive iodine. Potassium iodate is better than the iodide form because it is not as likely to cause upset stomachs in children, the elderly, the sick, and pets. Order the official potassium iodate for only $24 and save $5 by calling New Millennium at 888-803-4438.

Listen to George Gordon live taking your calls every Sunday night 6 p.m. right here on We The People Radio Network. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back. This is the intelligence report. We're just finished with our last break. We've got Dave Estill. Dave, what I was going to bring up is your M1A a standard model? Yes. Okay, well the most important thing, as I've mentioned many times on the air, is remember you've got your buttstock storage.
Okay, the ideal because that's usually that should be a dual compartment top and bottom. Our standard operating procedure is a lower compartment, whichever is the deeper cavity, and it depends on whether or not your stock was a military stock or if it's an aftermarket stock. And either way, they're fine. They're probably birch wood if they're aftermarket. Earliest models, half were walnut. A percentage were birch as reserve stocks. Birch is what they eventually went to completely because walnut obviously became too pricey for the Department of Defense, I guess. And they have problems getting good quality.
per quantities years ago, that was one of the issues. That's where you put your spare parts storage. One of the things that we've been recommending, firing pin extractor ejector, and on the M14, if you want as a safety measure, there's a lot of other smaller, not small, really small springs, but there are smaller springs that can be stored in the buttstock. You can vacuum pack those things using a seal-a-mill packaging system that
and put them in the buttstock where they're already greased up and sealed from the environment and they're on the rifle. Another thing with the M14, if you look, you will find still, and for the M14, this is what it was made for, is Lubra Plate. Now, Lubra Plate is available, usually you'll see these ads in some of these surplus companies, they're 144-count, they're about three-quarters of an inch tall, they're about, I'd say what, seven-eighths of an inch in diameter.
yellow cap, clear body, you even see them at the gun show sometimes. They were designed for storage in your buttstock. They're individual pots of Lubra Plate. Now, Lubra Plate was designed so that it could be used in the full spectrum of environments from extreme hot to sub-zero weather and will stay with the weapon but it won't gum the weapon up. The way it was designed is so that it burns off to a degree. In other words, as you use the weapon, it doesn't create additional, there's a sloughing system that was used
with the way that it heats so that it wouldn't lock up or gum up the weapon and continue to build up around key points where you have collection working parts of moving back and forth where they're greased. Luber plate is rarely fairly cheap but if you can find it in those, there are 144 count boxes. The boxes are two stacks, two tiers deep. They're approximately eight inches by inches plain gray cardboard, card stock.
and they're DOD produced. So you'll find them sometimes even in case slots. If you can get it, I'd buy it. But Luber plate is the best choice. You can even still find, I think, the name brand Luber plate. It was made, started being made in World War II. It worked for the M1 rifle and was serviced, it was issued over into the M1, obviously the M14, because it's just a, you know, it's the munchkin version of the M1. Back to the Apple seat chute. Yes. Eiffelmann boot camp schedule. August 26th.
third near Evans October 7th Sage Beach. The Apple feed schedule was 14th 15th Corps of Dealing, Indiana, Grand Sur, North Carolina. In fact the chat room they're putting it up here for us too so you get you're helping us a great deal. Thank you. Okay great. Thank you Dave if you get a chance like I said anytime you have a question call in. Alright you have a great day thanks. Thank you God bless. And we have Kevin from Texas next also Kevin jump in there please.
Hey Mark, I never miss Weapons Wednesday. As usual, it's informative, it drives it home, that you've got to keep your tools in good shape. The reason I'm calling today, I want you guys to holster your weapons, plug for the LIF for your die concert, we the people radio, and in conjunction with GCN Live. You can go to the GCN Live or the WTPRN.com concert. It looks like we're going to add a second day, Sunday now. We've got so many bands.
forward and volunteering and Ted Anderson at GC and just we need your bodies and we need you to come self-contained don't put a burden on the ground there's hotels locally or you should attend and have a beautiful time up in the New Hampshire countryside and I want people to think of this as this are like oh I'm worried something might happen nothing's gonna happen. I have so many people there this is an opportunity for all of us out there an opportunity to ourselves in between the first salt and the final broad daylight and have a concert and
union with all of our friends and family and soon to be friends, think around in the woods in ghillie suits and uh... that have moved to new hampshire they love that symbol of the porcupine you know i like the symbol of the rattlesnake and i'm just looking to leave you alone if you come near me i'm gonna warn you i'd rather not you know on me brother if you do you might get the fangs or you might get the quill animals and we want to be left alone and i just think this is a great opportunity to make history to save a great couple and to force their hand you know either
leave these people be, admit there's no law, or make your move. A lot of people out there that would love to see, make your move. I don't want to see that. I want to, so many people on our side that will balloon go up, off, and jump in line with us. That's what we all look for. We don't want to, you know, be brother against brother here. That's our purpose here. Number one, most important is this is an opportunity. The other side knows this, and I've said this many times, we had Carl Clang up last night on the air. Music is, is
such a tool and it is so important that we use that tool. It's aligned with our strength. It helps to give us strength. It's a bonding element. You've got a lot of people responding. We've got people from all over the country that are willing to support this. Everybody out there that's listening right now, what Kevin is saying is what needs, even if you can't make it, let's say pick one person out of 20 people or a couple people, put them in a car, get them to the event as witnesses and to support this.
tell us when you didn't go and you sent somebody else. But I want to run through these people right now. We've got poker face playing. We've got a great band called The Law. We've got Blue Eyed Fools, The Franks, Paperback Radio, Corey Von Klyce with his hilarious parodies. I mean, the guy's got a George Bush impersonation and just the top flight one. And he's a hilarious, kind of the weird out Yankovic of, I mean, we have on those, if you go to WTPRN or GCN Live and you click on the Live for Your Die, there's also a place to make a donation. None of us
to tinkle in. We'd like to try to get some money together to pay for the expenses of moving some of these people. We're also going to offer you, if it all works out fine, we're going to be of the event. You've got the great guys at We Are Change coming up to help us with some of their new technology. At the very least, we'll have a doc feed if we cannot get the high quality one. This is going to be historic for help out there. I'm not going to tell you the apocalypse are coming. I'm not going to tell you Jesus would want you to do this. I'm
needed where a little bit goes a long way. I know you know it Mark, many hands of it, take them take it up a notch or make them back down and ultimately we're trying to save this lovely couple's lives and Mark you keep up the good work with your weapons Wednesdays my friend. Thank you. God bless. Thank you Kevin and that is part of the that's one of our quiver part of our battery of arms is our music.
So don't forget that. And I will tell you what, we're going to pick this up at the bottom of the hour. Oh, half hour gone already. This is the Intel Report, live in the afternoon on wtprn.com. We'll be back.

On Cover The Truth with Catherine Albright, live from 9am to 11am, Monday to Friday, right here on We The People Radio Network. Gentlemen, we are back. This is the intelligence report. We have Andrew from Ohio, waiting in the wings so patiently. Andrew, are you there? There's a gun show this weekend in Dayton, Ohio at the Arrow Road, and it's exit 58, Need More Road exit, 3 miles down the road on Wolf Road. Dayton, at the Dayton O'Hara Arena, where they also have the hand fest once a year. Talking about the M1 and...
Boston's Gun Bible by Boston Tea Party. Yes. He writes very meticulously, writes the 308 main battle rifles in that book. That's a good reference source for that rifle and the other 308 MBRs. Yeah, in fact, good point. Now, one of the things we'd emphasize is the militia has standardized on what we call on the MBR category of weapons for the most part. A lot of people ask, Mark, why, you know, you know, shouldn't we pick a certain design?
Well, the thing is, one of the advantages that we've had is, if we said buy only this arm and buy just this caliber, what would happen with the other side? What would you do if you were the New World Order click and we said just buy this and just pick this? Wouldn't you cut it off right away?
you restrict it, you see what's happened by doing what we've done by at least giving general categories and telling people how to tweak the weapons that they have. We have a diverse family of arms, which means that even if you cut off a particular caliber, there is such a sufficient number in other calibers or types of arms that we can switch to or we could field them for a period of time to overlap procurement from the enemy.
In other words, I look at our enemy as nothing more than mobile resupply pods. Okay, when I look at one with a black uniform and an MP5, I think, mm, MP5, give it to the kids. Oh, look, Glock, give it to the kids, got three of those. Oh, wait a minute, this one's got an M1A converted. It's got one, well, that's a really nice package, I might keep that one. That's how you gotta look at them. And with regard to even the select fire weapons, people say, well, the other side is automatic weapons. I say, yes, and they'll be ours soon enough.
Okay, what we concentrate on is in the MBR category, for instance, main battle rifle, because that gives us a superiority weapon on the battlefield. It has a very specific mission. We're in a tempered environment.
To be quite honest, in the desert conditions, MBRs are a better choice than the assault rifle family of weapons because of the nature of the battlefield, the ranges that can be achieved, and the nature of the terrain itself. And even if you do have an obstacle, a greater amount of energy behind the bullet at specific ranges means greater penetration and knockdown power.
And so the 308 battle rifle cartridge is an excellent choice. I might remind everybody that the average armored personnel carrier, oh, well, just take a look on the roofs of these vehicles running around in Iraq. Count how many cans of 308 are up there on the roof to support those MAG-58s or those M60s if there's any left. There's a whole bunch of belted ammunition in 308 laying around with every armored vehicle that's put in the field. Oh, resupply is not a problem when the time comes.
On the other hand, the cool thing is by using .308 or .30-06 or .300 WinMag, you're reaching at greater ranges with greater penetration against an aggressor who's using a lighter firearm and is hoping that the wood chuck rifle will make up for the difference by volume fire. And we again, well, we brought up the issue of Waco here. Of course, we're going to make sure that there are no more Waco's that take place. The bat faggots attacked three times.
The only reason they didn't attack a fourth is because they ran out of ammo. They tried three times to kill the Davidians that first day. In fact, if you listen to them, you've got the 911 tapes here. They negotiate, not negotiators, the 911 call, the character goes, oh no, no, they're not attacking. And then he goes away from the phone and he covers the receiver to the Davidians and goes, are you guys making your move?
And what it was is the only thing they wanted to know during that conversation while they're busy attacking was where the telephone is that the guy is calling out on that they thought they had cut. Because they did not want any evidence of what they were going to do that was officially recorded. Well if you listen you can hear this sporadic fire which builds to a wave, a crescendo of mass fire, and then it dies back down.
And then there's the third attack when it takes place and you hear the last wave and the big crescendo and lots of crack crack crack pop pop crack crack. Then all of a sudden it dies down again. And then finally there's a, oh we need to talk. Why? Well because they had expended their combat load. So let's see. Hmm. Volume fire without any control on the trigger dictates that eventually you run out. And this is why I've said so many times in the air, do you have a coolie behind you to carry what you need?
No, you don't. So, number one, we need good discipline. We need accuracy. We want to put the target down, and that's what the main battle rifle does. That's the perfect choice, Andrew. The buddy out there is listening that doesn't have a daily physical fitness program, needs to get started because we use sweat and training, the less you'll sweat, bleed and battle. Yes, very good. And that is another point. And in fact, it also gets in line with the whole point of if you're, you know, a lot of people are talking about carrying 600, 700 rounds of ammunition.
in a load-bearing kit. Well, have you ever tried that? If you are going to do that, it's a great idea, but you've got to work with a comparable load. First is bring yourself up physically, just like you said, and then start adding to your regimen. Just add weight, or ideally what I've argued for years. Take the load-bearing equipment that you are going to use in the field, put it on, and walk the back 40.
Find out what it is it is beginning to rub in the wrong places find out what it is. It's hurting I know your shoulders are for a little while because we're gonna have to live in this equipment if you live in it There's a first two or three days of getting back into the saddle so to speak Where your upper shoulder blades and your shoulder, you know, your shoulder areas are gonna start to you know hurt They're gonna be weighing down. They're gonna be wearing in There's places where your equipment is making contact with your body
that you're going to want to change it because again, ergonomically, each person is different. They are basic world ergonomics. Each human being is engineered differently. The cool thing about military web gear is it's designed so that the geometry can be changed to fit the person, which is very important. And of course, needless to say, as we work out more with the equipment, we're going to have to adjust the equipment inward so that it fits us that much better, right? And everybody out there should get familiar with that, that they're still
relatively cheap and if you and ever uses the commies to attack us. We're covering 762.39 ammo all day long from yesterday. We should all be able to individually make good use of that.
Well, you know, there again, the SKS and the AK, you know, this is one thing, well, I mentioned MBRs, and again, the AK is a beautiful rifle. I would not hesitate to either carry the SKS or the AK. In fact, I carried an SKS for a long time. And even though I was trained on the M14, for the first two years that I was in service, I carried a Chinese defense rifle, a standard AK-47. And in that time, I was very impressed, impressed with the M14, period.
The AK, the model that I was carrying was a fully machined rifle and was a beautiful weapon and I've seen many many since and all of our friends have that are out there listening because like you said they're out there cheap. The SKS in its regular configuration with a 10 round megapox magazine with all the parts put in place is a self-contained fighting machine.
If you pick it up, just like we're talking about, the cleaning kit's in the buttstock. The cleaning rod is underneath the barrel. There's a folding bayonet for sticking things when they get too close. And with a 10-round mag, it is a very reliable firearm. It is a reliable firearm with the proper magazines if you're going to go to other, you know, added systems.
But the important thing is, in its basic configuration, it is a rifle I could hand to somebody, and I know that if they're to my left or to my right, they are going to continue to be able to use the weapon and it will function properly. It also has good stopping power, and the most common one available right now, like as you pointed out, is the Yugoslavian Model 66, which has a spigot flare slash grenade launcher built into it. That's a nice little feature to have because
rifle grenades are the poor man's mortar and artillery. Despite what anybody says, I'll tell you what, if you don't think they work, you stand 150 yards downrange, let us dump one on you, and let me know if it's obsolete. You still there? I'm still here. Go right ahead. Anything else, Andrew? Yeah, I was elected, uh, looked up your name on Google, because you mentioned that one time, and the American Peril Videos are on Google Video. Excellent. Very good. And I was looking at, um, some of the websites, what they put on there about you.
Uh, it is a compliment that the enemy should be spitting at me. The ADL likes you a little bit better than all those cars over there. They don't like you that much. They really hate him. Well, thank you Andrew. Okay. God bless. I'll see you later. Okay, bye-bye. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're at the break. This is the intelligence report in the afternoon. And we'll, we're here on We The People Radio Network. We'll be back in about three minutes. Times are tough right now. But there are a lot of different ways to get ourselves out of this mess.

But if you ask a question, there's probably other people that are thinking the same thing you are, so there are no bad questions to ask. All of these have been great, and all of them will be, no matter who it is. When you call in, don't even hesitate, because everybody's at different levels or has different experience. And one of the advantages we have of being on radio is somebody else that's listening might be able to jump on the phone and answer a question if there's something very specific that you've asked about. That's the whole purpose behind the program. Now, real quick,
brought up a good point, MBR, what we call main battle rifles. We would prefer MBRs for most of our line troops. One of the advantages of having the AKs and SKS has brought in, the other side thought that they were going to create a quandary or a problem with regard to ammunition. What the AK and SKS did is gave us an excellent supplemental arm.
Now, here's the way you have to look at it. We have overlapping tiers of technology. We have older arms that have been in place. By the way, God knows how many M1 carbines are in the United States, and nobody needs to know. The carbine is an excellent firearm. It is very reliable. It has seen a lot of service. In fact, a lot of weapons that are coming back in, the carbines are coming back. Our weapons, the US made and lend leased out to God knows how many countries.
Over the last 20 years a quantity of those m1 rifles and m1 carbines have come back Some are in better shape than others all probably need a little maintenance here and there and we will remind you that on the carbine The reason your carbine your m1 carbine might be malfunctioning is because you weren't told to clean the gas tapit system I just need to run
You can broad down the barrel and clean the basic rifle. Well, what you need to do is, if you look at the maintenance manual, you undo the front ring on the handguard retainer, slide that forward, take the handguard off, the weapon pivots out of the stock quite nicely, and up underneath is where the gas system is located. If your M1 carbine is malfunctioning, it seems to be sticky, failure to feed, you're getting what we call stove piping where the round is locked up properly.
Well, what it is, is there's not a sufficient amount of gas being deflected to the tappet because it's, because the port, the gas port is carboned up, or most common, is there's enough carbon gunking up the tappet itself, this little piston, this short tappet system, that it actually is retarding the motion of the piston itself. This happens when you fire a lot of rounds through the weapon and don't clean it.
Well, once you get that cleaned, it runs like a singer sewing machine. And I've bought carbines for $50 from people because I just couldn't get it to work. And of course, I had a chance to look at it too closely. But I have found that most of the times, with these people that, you know, got bought the carbine on a whim and just want to get rid of it, that that's 99% of the problem. Same is true with most 22 caliber semi-autos that are acting up. They look clean. And then after a while, if you get in there, you'll notice that parts seem to be rounded on the inside. Why?
because the carbon builds up on the inside. Well, these are all cool, light rifles that supplement our national defense for the militia. These small arms can be used by rear support personnel, younger or older people for personal defense.
the weapons that are lighter or that are unique or that are for instance like the AK and the SKS if all else failed if we had if we had a problem with them we relegate them to specific action areas where the person is in a defensive posture most of the time anyway example truck drivers supply personnel they're not frontline combat troops but they're going to get possibly into a bind where they need to use an effective defense tool
There's the AK, there's the SKS, that's what they fit. The High Point 9mm carbine is an excellent firearm. It is a package that's very lightweight, no recoil, 10 shot magazine, there's aftermarket larger capacity mags, but the advantage of their little 10 shot mags is that the 10 shot mag that fits the High Point carbine also fits the High Point pistol.
So you got a pistol-carving combination that's kind of nice. Again, the rifle is out of the way, it's lightweight. If you need it, you got it. It's enough to get you out of trouble. It's not designed necessarily to be a main battle rifle or to be an assault weapon for combat operations. But again, I'd carry it if I had to and I know that I can put the bullets where I need to and I can make the weapon work. What we have is tiers of technology.
I mentioned earlier in the program here this hour, I wanted to remind you that the CIA and all these different spook and poop operations have formulas for failure. Let me give you an example. Down in Central America we had the Contras. Everybody remember the Contras? Oh, we were supplying that. You've got to remember the government had so many sources they could have drawn from, but they gave the Contras HK-21 belt-fed guns. Beautiful rifle, kind of cool. HK, basically it's an HK-91 converted to belt feed.
Germans made it, they market them out. Well, it's not the razor, it's the blades that they make money on. In other words, it's not the rifle, they'll sell you that for a reasonable price. It's the spare parts you gotta buy later to keep the thing fed so that it functions that you gotta worry about. Well, the Contras got these beautiful HK21 systems, slash belt fed systems.
and in about six months, and they knew to the day how many of them would be unserviceable, most of them were sitting up in the corners of grass huts with major components broken, which meant that they knew when they issued the weapon within a specific window how many arms would be disabled. This is part of the formula, just enough to get you killed, not to give you enough to get you, not enough to let you win.
So, what we're teaching you here, and what I've been hopefully been impressing for years, is this is from experience. We have spare parts issues. We have ammunition supply and support issues. We do not want centralization for any of our supply and support. We want it dispersed tactically. The other side, our anal retentive control freaks. That's good. Let's keep it that way. We, on the other hand, trust and expect our people to perform.
By having everything at the person end, you don't have to sit there and wait for the boat carrier to show up because they don't trust you with a functional weapon. You don't have to sit there and look at your wristwatch and hope the pickup truck is going to show up with a supply load when the time comes. You don't have to requisition magazines. You don't have to beg for spare parts. If something doesn't work on your weapon properly because it's not quite the right design,
You don't have to wait for approval to change it. You do it yourself now. That's the beauty of a militia force, especially in the United States. We're a defensive mechanism. We're capable of tweaking our system, and we can improvise and use everything that any force has to our advantage. This is something that I've put in the equipping videos. In other words, if I see something that's going to work, Webgear-wise, we've used, we've tested it. And if we find that it works, we keep it. If we find that it doesn't work, we don't throw it away.
We have second line and third line personnel coming up, either A, because they don't have any resources, but we need to outfit them, or because they're younger people, perhaps, and we're going to bring them into the system and we're going to teach them how to operate responsibly. So we're going to provide them with what they need, and progressively they're going to grow into their position within the militia, and they're going to be experienced, not only in the basic systems, but now they're going to learn more about stuff.
They're going to teach them in the process, outfit them for little or no cost, and we'll make it work. It's also true of our gear. Remember, it's not just the weapons, but the support equipment to make the weapons work. All the rifles that you have out there, there's web gear and support equipment to support it, to make it work, to make it function on you. Certain magazine pouches don't work with other firearms. Okay, find the mag system or the pouch or the carrying system that was designed for the rifle you're using.
Find out how it functions on your body. Adjust it so it works. Again, that's called ergonomics. You want to make it work and function reliably with your system. You may find physical restrictions because of age, either being younger or being older or just being middle-aged and having been bent the wrong way or broken the wrong way at one time or another. There are certain parts that may not work the way you want them to, wrists, elbows, whatever, but you've got them.
you've got to make sure that your load-bearing equipment matches your person, work for you. Now the cool thing about all these vests and things that are out there right now, I tell you now that will support the weapons, is they become supplemental body armor. You're throwing more junk in front of your chest. That's not a bad thing. Now there are some disadvantages to that, and then I've brought this up before and I've addressed this in a lot of different writings that are out there with my friends that are listening right now, in that if you buy a big web system, a vest system,
Keep in mind that if something goes wrong on it, it may debilitate the whole system. In other words, the whole thing malfunctions because it starts to come apart. It comes unraveled. So here's a little trick. When you buy something like these assault vests that you're paying $30, $40, $50, $60, $100, $200 for, break out the sewing kit. Go get some really nice heavy grade. In fact, ideally, get the Kevlar thread that you use or the Kevlar fishing line, get it in the finer grades.
Stitch all of the corners of your gear all the pockets for instance the Kevlar thread will not break You see an advantage here now you can use any thread but restitch all the corner points and keeper points Restitch the edges of your of your velcro on your gear Restitch the strap points if you can if you've got the strength to push through the stuff and just amidst a matter of getting the right needles
reinforce everything before it comes apart. Don't wait until it starts to fall apart. Now you're just creating work for yourself. Why not prevent, you know, preventive maintenance is always better than follow-up maintenance when something's broken. Okay, just giving you some ideas. We're at the top of the hour ladies and gentlemen. Hope you've gotten something out of this program. We're gonna be out tomorrow same time. As always, God bless the Republic.
Death to the New World Order? We shall prevail. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. Both day and night. God Bless and God Bless.
The Bill of Rights protects every American's God-given right to keep and bear arms. Now that right is being seriously undermined as legally registered rifles are being confiscated in some parts of our country. If we're not careful, we may find ourselves with no right to own guns. And that's where Gun Owners of America comes in. Gun Owners of America is in Washington every day fighting for you to keep that right. Congressman Ron Paul has called GOA the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington.
