Mark Koernke discussed militia preparedness, firearms training, and defensive strategies on April 11, 2008. He promoted upcoming militia events including the X-Blast shooting event at Camp Stasa in Michigan and a Colonial Marine Militia conference in Louisville. The show featured extensive discussion of battle rifle selection, particularly the M14/M1A versus AR-15 platforms, emphasizing the M14's superior range and penetration for main battle rifle roles. Koernke addressed caller concerns about eyeglass options for tactical use and responded to reports of gun confiscation by FEMA in Greensburg, Kansas following a tornado, urging listeners to secure firearms and ammunition in hardened basement locations and organize local militia units in response.
I had a dream the other night that, well, 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. 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 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 attacks 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to 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, dill the land of the free? this is the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Quirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, central and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on We The People Radio Network, wtprn.com. That's We The People Radio Network. We're also on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com and we're on AM&FM major stations, AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies both east and west of the Mississippi. Well Don, today's date is? We double verified that by the way. Hopefully we weren't looking at the wrong year. That's the only thing. that played on the studio side you guys, so it's just... And this is live. Little problems that happens with live radio. Hey guys, that's why you're listening, because there's always interesting and new things going on. Well, first of all, it is the weekend and tomorrow, the 12th, we have the tax policy. Go to www.michiganmilitia.com, find out more about that. Everybody's invited to attend. It's where you get a chance to fire weapons, whatever you want. and also there'll be some instruction classes all day and there's gonna be a lot of activities. So tomorrow the X blast, as it's always known, every year at Camp Stasa, www.michiganmilitia. If you're in Michigan or Ohio or Indiana and you wanna make it tomorrow, remember it starts zero 900 hours in the morning. That's oh 900, not oh dark 30. By then, nine o'clock. Make a point of checking it out but you're all invited. There's a $5 cover fee but that's to help take care of expenses and help support the range. uh... everybody shows up to get a figure that this part of you know taking care of operations guys uh... places a very nice facility as you will see has some automated target systems on site actually electronic removing uh... all kinds of other opportunities are meeting new people say hi to everyone over twelve zero nine hundred marwin tool or after dark and uh... if you want to bring stuff along to sell do that uh... the chance to shoot firearms bring ammunition with you be a good idea anyway the Colonial Marine Militia meeting that's taking place down in the Louisville area tomorrow. Actually, it started today, forgive me, it started today this morning and will go on until Sunday, but it will be pretty well probably settled by tomorrow. This is a preliminary meeting getting ready for the Colonial Marine National Conference for Colonial Marine Militia and representatives from every, well actually from all the basic states will be there, but not every state, I shouldn't say that, but for the conference people will be there from every state of the union. uh... we will probably cover you might even cover it live this time around on the radio we'll see what happens down i don't need to be there for this one these guys not a handle scheduling and taking care of certain issues that need to be addressed with regard to training we're gonna have a great time i think overall but it's uh... serious issues but uh... still they give everybody chance to meet say hi to everyone when marines that uh... working with the corner marine militia that have been building up strength constantly uh... the new mechanization of course are coming up and online and these guys are helping to coordinate spline support or can happen at some cool videos by the way come up real soon here so the war and everybody watch our youtube site we're adding more of the next uh... we're wolf uh... videos gonna be up soon but also for the republican winter war in battle actually battle for the republic dance of sorts were going to start with the first book battle for the republic dance of sorts in video format uh... we've got a bunch of stuff already locked in non got some cool machinery today boy things happen all once you know we get blah blah blah blah and then boom well we got a lot of cool support equipment and uh... we're working on uh... some scheduling for other video sites uh... we've got some approval to use some really cool ruins that's the big thing is we're not hollywood we have to improvise by using the real thing we can build our own ruins we're working with some wreckage some burned out sites and some other spots for videotaping here uh... for filming which is going to happen uh... say thank you to Mr. T and the company, the moving company that has decided to provide their facilities, use their warehouses. That's a plus plus. And we need for extras, by the way. I think I should put that out too, Don, while we're thinking about it. But we are going to be needing more extras for some of the mega filming that's going on. very interesting scenes that are already mapped out. I just did some more storyboards last night. I kind of got tired last night, really running my hang down too long. Looking good there. And costuming, of course, is going to be taken care of by also by our people with publishing group. So don't worry about that for some of you people. If you're in a medium, small or medium, regular size, you're the person we need only because of available uniforms. But that's for some of the bad guys. Anybody wants to play a bad guy down, they can come along and meet a black uniform and be a target. but yeah, they can have some fun. Anyway, also, and there was a request up to the point where everything's happening once you're this month or next month coming up, the militia only gun show schedule is not complete for the next four months. There's going to be a meeting here very shortly. And for all of our friends listening to participate or are already familiar with how this works, the militia only gun shows work much in the way that the Ohio Valley Gun Collectors Association shows have worked for years. Each person that knows about the meetings is allowed to bring two individuals that they have to vouch for, but only two. And these two individuals have to be verified by unit commanders, and there's a number of processes to go through. So this is not just for anybody kind of a fair, but it's allowed us to keep a lot of equipment inside the militia and patriot system and direct it so we have better supply and support. Now, I'm probably the best example is, you know, like one of our friends just bought a K-98 Mauser, but he doesn't use Mausers. Another guy has picked up, say, a whole bunch of HK91 parts. Another group has a whole bunch of M14 magazines. Well, each of those units doesn't use what they picked up. So what we're doing, people, is we're making it so that we route the equipment to where it needs to be. Everybody gets to sit down in the same place, walk through the tables, check things out, and they do barter and trade first. The idea is that we trade off, and that way there's equity, and everybody determines the market value. That's, you know, of course, up to the individuals that are dealing with their units. And then of course there's also individual sales for those things that are unique but need to find a home that's in line with the units that are already committed to that weapon system. A lot of you that are independent, and most everybody, even if they are standardizing an equipment don, have a tendency to collect a lot of cool extra odd items because they want to have other calibers on the shelf. And I've preached that for many years. And that's a good idea. Why? Yeah, look what just happened here with 223. I mean, if you were committed 100% only to 223 and you burn out your supply, what are you going to do? Use harsh language? Stop. I've run out of bullets. Yeah, hold still. Let me throw a stick. A rock? Perhaps one of your magazines. Wait a minute. It's aluminum. It's not really going to offer much damage. On the other hand, if you have a diversified number of calibers in inventory, the advantage is that as one caliber becomes exhausted, switch over and continue to sustain a conflict by moving into the other inventories in terms of calibers. Now we're doing this right now by promoting the 545 caliber. There's a lot of it out there. It is the Russian and by the way the Chinese have some 545s too, plus of course the Eastern Bloc, some of those countries still do. There's a mish-mish there. They're also carrying 223s because they've been mercenary out to the NATO and US forces. Because of this, there is an inventory of 545 that's available that makes a great bridging caliber. Now there's two solutions to this, which we've been emphasizing. Number one, AK-74s. But if they cut them off, guys, you know, there's only going to be so many AK-74s. Now this is not a bad thing, because think about this. If there aren't weapons available, those of you who have AK-74s that are in country and already have gotten them, all that cheap 545 ammunition is yours. Hey, Don, that's a plus. Wait a minute. On the other hand, as we know, within a very short number of days, and now we count it in days. We're not counting it in half a year or a year out. We can count in days before the 54539 AK74-R15 upper receivers will be in the inventory. Now, for that reason, I would put out a warning order, buy it while it's cheap, because people are going to start buying more. As people realize, hey, I can throw 545 in my AR. You're going to see it start to move faster. The price is going to change because they'll be trying to replace it. We'll see what happens with that. Hopefully we can keep that stabilized, but this is just a warning order. Okay, so everybody knows those 545 AR-15 Uppers are on their way now. It's not an if, just a when. And that ties into another question somebody asked earlier today, so I promised I'd do this, Don. And that has to do with, well, my favorite of rifles, the US rifle, 7.62mm M14, which is lightweight air-cooled gas, up in a magazine-fed shoulder weapon, is that in primary or semimimic fire, sir? That is the rifle I was trained on first. You might notice that. The US M14, but also known in civilian circles, is the M1A, one of the finest battle rifles produced in the United States. The only one that might be a step above it, purely because of its heritage, is the US rifle, caliber M1. US rifle caliber M1 Garand as you all know in .30-06 right now can be fed quite economically. There's a whole path full of .30-06 out there in the back 40 guys all over the country. So the M1 rifle is an excellent choice. However, many of us invested in over the years in the M14 slash the M1A family of rifles. This was the daughter of the Grand and it addressed certain issues that wanted to be, they wanted to incorporate originally but couldn't by the very nature of manufacturing processes and commitment on the part of government. The M1 Grand uses an eight round D clip that's internal. Now the M14 took it the next step and said, okay, we want a detachable box magazine. This allows for greater firepower with the individual riflemen, but still accuracy. M14S-LASH-M1A is a fine battle rifle able to reach comparable ranges to the M1 Garand a little shorter or the other of the Otsek. However, with upgrading in munitions and personal loadings, it has comparable range and comparable performance. Penetration is the same. You got more bullets, you got more energy to deliver at a greater range with the target. The M14 has a basket, basket type, long basket type flash hider. incorporated the same basic gas system will fire underwater. It's one of the big features in the M14 most people are not familiar with. Very forgiving in a wet environment. Also most of the parts were made by such companies as T.R. as a machinist when you hear those words goes hmm that's right that's right because the quality of the metallurgy and the impact when the 14 was built in the late 60s at the zenith of our steel production and probably the zenith of some of the best standard in terms of machining done in the United States, the M14 hit that niche. And TRW parts, incredibly accurate. Precision matched grade rifle parts with a standard infantry rifle. The greatest of sins and the best example of scum at work is when the Clintonistas ordered the destruction of our M14 inventory, which was sitting there doing nothing, people. Could have sat there for another 200 years in the cans, not gonna go bad, all sealed for time. And that scum-sucking parasite draft-dodging piece of debris ordered a whole bunch of our US rifles slash M14s to be destroyed. Now, there are a bunch of them still out there, and a bunch of kids came in from overseas. The M1A is still produced in other configurations. I'm not impressed, personally. I mean, I know people got the SOCOM rifles. That's nice, but first of all, it's a .308 battle rifle, people. I'm not trying to make it an assault rifle. If I want an assault rifle, I'll shoot one of the bad guys, pull one off his carcass, and I'll have clack, clack, clack. If I'm going to buy a .308 battle rifle, I want it to reach. I want a full length barrel. I want the standard factory military barrel on the weapon. Now, the reason for that is because I want to hit and reach farther than my enemy. I don't want to be on equity with him carrying a rifle that's heavier. It is a beautiful weapon, even if it is chopped and cropped. But, I would prefer the standard M14 configuration in the M1A. You can go with whatever combination of sites. There's all kinds of picnanny attachments now that will go on the M14 purely to try and make it seem like it's an AR-15. These are two distinct and different classes of arms. Yes. Okay, you can't really put them in the same pile and they'll again the anti gunners do for obvious reasons. They're idiots. They don't know firearms to begin with. They got their head up their ass. So, excuse me, I ain't done so far. But they couldn't pull it out with a crowbar if their life depended upon it. Okay, so the M1 rifle slash the M14, the FN FAL, the HK 91 fit into the improved, by military standards, the improved capacity MBR. A main battle rifle's mission is to reach out to greater range, delivering greater penetration, deliver more energy, and creating a superiority condition on the battlefield. Most people would say, well, I can do that by getting in at 200 yards or less. Well, that's nice. What if I kill you at 300 yards? Your 200 yard range is really, really kind of cool, but here's the thing. I only got to hit you once. I don't have to miss you 340 times, spraying and praying. My mission is to engage and knock you down. Now that doesn't mean I can't deliver volume fire and here's the other scary part about it, people don't think about. That 172 grain or 168 grain or 180 grain projectile I'm putting down range has the capability to go through one car door, through everybody in the front seat and out the other side of that car and still do damage to the person trying to hide behind the car. Think about that. Now if you haven't seen the test, because I don't mark shouldn't have teach you this, remember that's the difference between the MBR calibers and the light carbine or rifle, light rifle calibers. It doesn't mean that they don't have their place. Volume fire is a wonderful thing. If I want to keep and suppress you, I can, you know, again, if my mission is suppress, if I guess I'm not trying to hit you very hard, then I guess I can burn a couple of magazines, keep you slowed down, and to a degree for a saw gun, a lot of times what we've done is we've taken the AK or the AR with a 125 round drum for the AR-15 or with a 75 or 100 round drum for the AK, and we designate those men as squad gunners. Now that's when we know that we've got lots of other MVRs that we can pull up online and what we do is we use the AKs or ARs for suppression fire like a squad automatic weapon only semi-auto. Don, your finger works pretty fast, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. It takes a whole lot of practice. Not only that, but I think you can pull your finger, let's see, pull the trigger with your little finger 75 times in a row. Do you get a callus with that or do you get a charley horse in your finger? So it does work. Now my point is that now all of a sudden we can change the dynamics. We've got suppression fire with that volume fire weapon that carries more ammo, but everybody else, including myself, is sitting there moving into position. We're going to take aim and I'm going to watch for the target of opportunity and I'm going to pump and I'm going to put him down. Now as he gets closer I can increase the volume of fire, but at range before they are able to effectively engage with all of their shoulder our infantry riflemen are already decimating their formation. Another advantage with the MBR, this puts the enemy to ground faster. The sooner and farther out that you can put your enemy to ground, the more he has to work at getting into his effective range. Now, when he does that, he's burning calories. He's losing adrenaline. He's, he's, the old pucker factor's going up so, so, so high that you can't drive a needle up there with a sledgehammer. You know what I mean? That's the whole idea. When you watch, when, in fact, one of the, there are several techniques with application with MBRs. Let's say that you're, you have an aggressive formation moving forward. You take a 10, you take a 10 man squad, you designate all of your riflemen to target a particular individual. It's not whether he's going to go down. It's going to fall like a sack of a... That's right. In other words, when you get hit with 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, if your riflemen are all rested and, you know, I should say, squared away ready to go, they should be able to effectively hit that target at 300 to 500 yards without any problem at all. Now, if everybody goes, 300 yards? Oh, how about you? Even 300 yards? People are going, huh? Well guys, you might recall if you were on the pop-up range with the M16 even, what was that farthest target you were firing at? 300 yards. Now that's considered your maximum range with the AR-15. Here's the problem. That's considered medium or intermediate range for the 308 battle rifle cartridge. Now the world changes, now there's again, the world changes. The militia combined arms team, and that's what really it is, is incorporating heavy battle rifle calibers such as the .50 caliber BMG, the .338, .460 Weatherby, take your pick, .418 Rigby. There's a whole bunch of other stuff out there in the old elephant rifle range. You can put into play in this formula, and now the first shots fired that make contact put a target down and force the enemy to ground immediately. immediate decimation of the formation has begun. Your M.B.R.'s main battle rifles like the M14 are able to then engage at maximum range and the M1A is a fine rifle. Now there's another thing there were some questions about and I know we're heading towards break here in a minute. The M1A, when it was brought into the country in kit form here, you know, that was the M14 kits came in Don. Basically you had Springfield Armory, you had, let's see, auto ordinance. Come on Mark. The Fed Ord. Fed Ord made M1 carbine receivers. They made a number of M1 Garand receivers and they made a bunch of M14. Now they were infusion cast receivers. They did both. They did from steel millet from one solid block of steel. They milled down and made receivers that way. Very good receiver. But they also made infusion cast receivers. Now people were kind of leery of those at first. However, Fed Ord for being crude and I got to tell you guys you don't be the first to tell you Fed Ord made crude receivers It's funny that still for the the M1 carbine receivers they made the M1 grand receivers they made they still work to this day 25 30 and 40 years later Fed Ord was doing a pretty good job considering that they were the ones kind of developing what became the standard for the industry and they weren't a big company and they weren't a real fancy company and by the way if you want to try and find Fed Ord don't expect the letters to be lined up on the stamping. that you had the alcohol crude would be and they were what they were serviceable receivers and the m one a configuration that was produced but they find uh... it was a for the fine receiver all infusion cast uh... and first day most the kids are built with here w parts and held up well would prefer a mill it machined receiver for all possible Now even Springfield Armory, I believe, experimented in both directions. They've made infusion casts and they've of course still do full machine from mill block, at least they will, they were. I'm not familiar with what they're doing at this moment. All these receivers, unless there's something really significantly wrong with the, you know, in other words, it has to be a major flaw, which you'd catch almost right away. These systems will work just fine and are very serviceable. They will keep you alive, okay? That's most important. Understand that the M1As that are out there, in fact even the Chinese receivers, the reason, and I believe there was some industrial sabotage, not from the China end, not that I have any great love for anything Chinese made, the earlier Chinese stuff coming in, they were working at it, okay, but they had the techniques already figured out. They were already making M1As that were in nice shape. but they were crude by comparison. The quality of the machining was, you know, eh, so-so. Even those were serviceable enough. What happened is, somebody was trying to, you know, kick them out of the niche, so to speak, and so they over pressured some loads, I think, intentionally, went with hot loads, wanted to try and show that they could abuse the firearm. I've seen this for years, going all the way back to, remember the little charter arms undercover? Littlest revolver in the world. Remember, that's how they used to advertise it. Smallest revolver, you know, smallest and lightest revolver in the world. And I know people who were really leery of it, so what they did is they intentionally double loaded the revolver, you know, the .38 special loads they were going to put in for a guy. One guy bought one of these little charter arms. So they benched it and they intentionally, they didn't tell him, they double loaded it and they wanted the thing to fail so they could make him scared of the firearm. What is fascinating is they did this, and we didn't know this until after the fact, and then they were kind of embarrassed because they didn't need to do what they did to the weapon. It actually held up, Don. They actually fired it with a double charge, packed the charge in, pulled the trigger, and it still damaged the frame. There's a lot to be said there Mark, because you know a manufacturer's overcharged is generally three-charged. Yep. You know, a charge. So this actually held up to a double charge load, although again this little charter arm, it damaged the cylinder, it didn't rupture it, but what it did is it stretched it, and it made the weapon unserviceable. It's a brand new revolver! So anyway, the point is that the same was true, I think, with these Chinese M14s. They are not designed to be a Springfield Armory rifle. They were not designed to be a precision TRW weapon, but they were serviceable enough so that keeping them on the shelf as a handout rifle, they would work just fine. And of course, you could upgrade them progressively. Not much, because there's not a whole lot you could do with certain parts or certain components, but It was a solution. Now again, as we know, and we've seen this most recently for all you M1A lovers and people who are using that rifle, a fine battle rifle, I would have no problem you throw it to me and trust me, I can disassemble that weapon blindfolded and I will reassemble it and I probably even blindfolded, so I'm gonna hit you with it. Okay, it is a beautiful firearm. It is one that I would carry and I have carried for many years. In fact, even though the 16 was standard, I carried first, I was trained in the M14. I carried an 8K for the operations that I participated in. We went back to the M14. Actually, there's a number of different things I worked with the M14. I was in drill and ceremonies, all the other fun stuff. It wasn't for five years going to service before I actually handled an M16 in any quantity for any period of time. We're going to go to break here, I think. Oh, we're skipping the breaks here. We have Dave from Missouri calling in down. So I'll tell you what, we'll take Dave from Missouri. Dave, jump in there, please. Hi there, I wanted to give you a heads up. Hitting things at 300, 400 yards, especially if you've got iron sights, does have one prerequisite. You have to see the darn target first. Yes. And some of us, the old Mark I eyeball, no longer operates at 100%. And glasses are the usual solution for that. I thought I would mention that there is an outfit called Old Grouch. They are on old grouch dot and they do have tactical eyeglass frames at a decent price. These are the very low profile guys. They're designed to be able to fit under a mask if you need to do that. And they fit close enough to your head that you're not going to have any problems with a hot shell casing landing right against the eyeball or any of that kind of good stuff. So, if anybody wears glasses, they really ought to consider getting a pair of tactical frames and get your prescription loaded in them while that sort of thing is feasible. They list these things at $12 a piece. They offer five for $50. And I spoke with them just about an hour ago. Right now they have about a dozen in stock, but they can resupply if they need to. Everybody, no, I'm gonna say right now, everybody, Dave, should take advantage of this. If you have glasses, and I would say at least get two pairs, save all your old glasses for the same reason. Give out the contact number for them again, please. Right, their website address is oldgrouch, spelled the way you would expect, O-L-D-G-R-O-U-C-H. Phone number is, let's see, 8th Tarrin Eastern Time Zone, so they may or may not be accessible right now. Let's see, Monday to Saturday, 10 to 5.30. So they're not really accessible right as we speak. We just missed them. You just missed them, but you can order online if you want to. They say they've got about a dozen on hand and can resupply if they need to. Well, this is a high priority because again, it is true. Now, one good thing about this. First of all, I was trained with iron sights out to a thousand yards. Now, again, one of the things we know, we're working on a fixed target on a range that's specifically designed such as Camp Perry. But in many parts of the country, we have iron sight, you know, point-to-point contact possible, especially in hilly terrain, mountainous and rugged terrain where you can fire ridge-to-ridge. However, as was pointed out, because of people's eye, you know, limitations, The one beautiful thing about the M14 is it was already set up with the station for a side rail mount, you know, a side fixture that actually locks right onto the rifle and allows you to mount a scope of whatever configuration you prefer. Obviously the art series of scopes were the original intent, but anything that will work for the shooter that, you know, that again suits the need and the mission for the area of operation can be adapted to the M14, so it's not isolated, just iron sights. That is a good point. They have the option to go with optics and then it becomes basically the M21 Cypress system for all practical purposes. Well the other thing is suppose you adjust your scope so that it compensates for your imperfect eyes. That's fine for you. It doesn't do too well if, you know, for you looking around bare eyeballs in the intermediate range, looking for targets or surprises. And if your rifle suddenly has to be used by somebody else and you've dialed it up to your funny eyeballs, that's not going to work too well for them. They're going to have some time fiddling with it. It would be better if everybody has their glasses all trimmed up and their scope's all set to normal eyeballs. Now the important thing too, and a good point there, is that remember, don't throw any of your old glasses out. I never have for all the time. I've shook up my original pair of glasses. Not in great shape, but they're serviceable. From there, what, 40? 40 years old now. 40 years old. But the point is that glasses, any form of glass, would be better than nothing in the way of optics if you have to have correct, if you have eyes that need to be corrected. This is a good idea, especially since these glasses work with the gas mask, right? Yes. And that's a critical feature because guys, remember, we're not going to try and degrade with the gas mask. In other words, some people are going to have to do it. There's not going to be enough of these to go around. You're going to take the glasses off when you mount the gas mask in many cases simply because it's easier. It's just that much faster. It's part of the step. You take the glasses, they go in the front pocket. You don the mask. You put the chems suit on. You do what needs to be done. However, if you have this format with glasses, remember, there's nothing you do except don the mask. Do your sucking blow. OK, you're clear. And now, with that M9 copy of the finished copy of the gas mask that's out there and many of the others, Remember that you can get proper cheek weld and you are still able to engage at exceptional range. That's critical with this. And so, Dan, appreciate that. Dave brings up, because that's one of the things we have to emphasize, even under a chemical environment or limited chemical environment, NBC environment, we, excuse me, we have the capability to actually move forward. and continue to engage the enemy effectively at what are considered to be normally non-issue maximum ranges. The only thing is going to be obviously level and density of material in the air, which reduces visibility. But we're going to hit accurately first, and that's what makes you win. That gives you that winning edge. That's right. Some people are going to have to make the choice between breathing or seeing, but if you plan ahead, you can do both. It's good to hear from you, too. Thank you. I'll let you guys run. Don't go one more time. Give out those numbers again. Oh, yes. That's oldbiz. I'm sorry, oldgrouch.biz on the web. And their phone number is 828-627-0361.

But it was made in you know category other country and supposed to do or radios or anything along that line that depends on a battery. You could carve it in without water, lack of equipment, and because you forgot, wait a minute, three don't produce electricity. Why did you give me the butter knife and leave me here in the woods?

We all know that knowledge is power. We've tried to give you knowledge to help you prepare for rough times. There's the worldwide famine and our country's dependence on often dangerous food imports. You know about genetically poisoned food. Two-thirds of the food is disappearing with the bees along with huge crop failures from all-time record water shortages. You know they're turning food into fuel with corn ethanol plants. If we do not control our food, food will be used to control us. Food control has been the plan historically in every enslaved population and is the plan for America. The only value of the knowledge you have to take control of your food is if you choose to get a supply while you still have the freedom to choose. Call 800-409-5633 on the web, efoodsdirect.com.

Something kind of unrelated. A couple of days ago I was bouncing around the web and I found out that they did another New Orleans-style gun grab in Greensburg, Kansas, right after they had their tornado. And I'm wondering if there are any others that I haven't heard about. I believe that there were three towns total. Greensburg was the one that I mentioned on the air. And it's interesting, we didn't want to, I know some people have been talking about it now, but what we've got is militia units that are contacting all the locals. And the idea is to organize, this is motivating them to locally generate new militia units right off the bat because FEMA came in, ran everybody out of gunpoint, implied that they would torture, terrorize, or whatever, everybody. Many houses were not hit by anything. And they turned around, kicked the doors in, stole valuables, took a lot of stuff that just disappeared, and took every firearm they could find and all the ammunition. This would behoove, this is why we've been telling everybody. I've sent emails, you might have noticed this out, some people have been repeating them. It would be a good idea to harden your basement in different ways. Now if you follow a lot of the old Civil Defense instructions, don't make them temporary. Grog can get yourself some really nice one foot thick cement block. And start building yourself some new walls in the basement and then steel plate and concrete cap of it. It's not that hard. Corrugated steel is very strong. You can build in the cross bars with I-beams. Go get some scrap metal guys, come on. And what you do is actually reinforce and build your basement up. I'd do this if I was in a tornado zone anyway. I don't know why people don't do this. I cannot understand it. Because the basements should literally be just flat out bunkers. I mean, what the hell? I don't want to be spread over half of Kansas or misery or, shall we say, Oklahoma, found in little chunks the size of my thumbnail. It would mean that, let's see. harden up and reinforce the underground sites and make them look like something else or example is with your weapons set it up so that you when you can cap the thing off you can't tell with this even there your ammunition and weapons should be secured both on one site and then backups at another location buried not just put in the ground come on guys we know better than that you've got all kinds of cool support systems for putting this stuff away and making it so that it would be look just like when you put it in the wrapper just like the Department of Defense does Now, when a lot of people went back for their arms, as you probably saw, weapons that were completely intact with houses that were untouched all of a sudden looked like they had been wrapped around trees. So, the shysters on top of everything else, and let's name names, FEMA perceives the American people to be the enemy. FEMA has what are called regional police. Regional police are scum-sucking idiots. were hired not because they are smart but because they are dimwits. They are the burned out light bulbs in the box. Do you mean the ones that BAF wouldn't even hire? Yep. Better term for them. Go right ahead, please. I can think of others. How about targets? Yes, targets of opportunity. And again, they're really great. For instance, it's the regional police, remember, that we saw you can go to gunners of America, and amazingly enough, the NRA has the audacity to put it up on their site, because the NRA supported that confiscation in New Orleans until the rank and file client found out, and then the management flip-flopped. As soon as they realized, everybody was going, what? Then oh, we're against it. Oh, you mean they're taking the guns from a landowner. Oh, we didn't know that Which is BS they were sucking up to their so deep up hanging control incorporated's rear end They can't you can't pull up use a core bar to pull their head out of the other guys But anyway, the point is that we've seen the videos those were regional police that threw that grammar to the ground big billy but bad But that they were what a bunch of pop anyway That's the same thing they did here people are saying that they were threatened or that they were it was implied that they would do something to them. Well, you know what? I'll imply right back. You come back to our town. You ain't going to leave. See, that's the thing. That's the attitude over is going to have to take because what happened is this is a small, tight knit community. Now they've all learned their lesson. They've seen what the globalist and the FEMA people are all about. Now's the time to inundate them with new world order information about how the globalist work. That's the most important thing. Now, a lot of the locals like the fire department want to work. Yeah, they wanted to have you heard about say like a steel. I'm sorry, Lizzi? Yes, he was a gun dealer who sold a bunch of guns down in the southwest. Yes, we've been, we have been trying to get support to him as quickly as we can. Go right ahead, please though. Go ahead, Ron. Well, all I can say is if you're ordered to bug out and you're not going to fight, make sure you take your guns with you. Or at the very least, set up the, okay, think, okay, some people says, occupied America. Okay, well think occupation then. You know, make it so that when they come in, you know, make some really nasty places where if they want to stick their paw in there, they ain't going to like it anyway, but they ain't going to find anything because it's under that. You know, come up with ways, you know, you're going to have to, I'm saying be creative because I don't want to, you know, give anybody, the bad guy's got an idea how you dyed stuff too. But if you build it strong enough and you build it durable enough, they're not going to get to it and they're not going to want to waste the time because they're pirates. Scumbag thieves like this are looking for quick thievery. They're looking for quick steel. They're potlickers. They're low-lives. They're lazy people. They wouldn't be in the FEMA police in the first place. This is true, but a couple of my ideas are, among other things, motion detectors and those microwave emitters that we like so much. God, I love those. They're so beautiful. In the house, signs on the door saying, hey, there's nothing in here to worry about. The place is entirely secure. There's no reason to enter without my permission and presence. Any attempts at looting will be met with deadly force. And make sure that they have that deadly force that they're going to meet because they deserve it. And it's like, yeah, OK. So it's premeditated manslaughter. So what? They're thieves. They are criminals. Well, it's gotten to the point here, especially where this, you know, traditionally in the past, again, they wouldn't even want the firemen to stay. The firemen, they didn't want the emergency service people there because they lived there. And everybody would see what they did. So even the fire department and all of the local emergency people were run out of town, which should tell everybody right off the bat that their own property, that they had no good in mind. that the scum suckers had an agenda already plugged in. Now here's the other question about why they might not have wanted locals there. My question is who in uniform was actually there? Just like Katrina, we had foreign troops on the ground. There's a lot of foreign troop garrisons spreading out through the plain state areas in preparation for building up and forcing this international superhighway to gut America. And that's why we have certain reports. We haven't put everything out for a reason because we're monitoring at least four sites right now in the Mississippi Valley that have anywhere from 15 to 20,000 capacity and are completely housed right now. Each of these sites, everybody's selling to them. The characters are going out and they're buying stuff. Well, they're not American. They're not even from North America. They're foreign troops. And everybody knows it. Now what we're doing is we're making sure security, see you can't stop the security camera from running in a party store. We're collecting faces, we're collecting names, we're looking at ID, we're able to get their license plate numbers. We want to be able to put a whole portfolio together so I don't want to hear you just BS about, well are you, you, you, shut up. We know there's foreign troops, now it's just a matter of figuring out how many. Well remember, they're being awfully bold, they're letting them come off the base, they're letting them spend money. That means we get IDs, we get plate numbers, we get checking account numbers, you get everything. All the stores are helping out with this. So we're going to have a complete portfolio to include who the American liaison personnel are that are working with these volunteers as they're traveling together. Security cameras work both ways. Bad guys like to use them, but you know what? We got lots of cameras too. So that's being worked on right now and that's something that's going to progressively be addressed. uh... as we go but i think that's why i suspect we know that troops came from at least two different facilities to that town for that roundup of arms at least from fort riley kansas yeah uh... anyway can i get you uh... off the air at home after the show uh... yes as a matter of fact i believe go ahead and i have west complete honor dantan and then give you the number you have to call after seven o'clock eastern Okay. Sounds good. And or you can send an email. Yeah Ron. Email is liberty at symbol provide.net. Dot net. Yeah. Okay. But there's a phone number on your website. Does that work? It might be. If not send the email and then we'll shoot the number to you. How's that sound? Okay. I'll send that right now. Thank you sir. And thank you very much Mark. By the way you got any more of those copes? I'm sorry any more of the Go for the G3. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. As a matter of fact, we as many as you need. We'll talk about that. Well, we're off the air. How's that felt? Sounds good to me. Okay. Thank you, Ron. We still have Marcus waiting in the wings. We're going to let you go. Ron, thank you for calling in. Marcus, you stay there. I'll bring you up right after we come back up for the second hour. As always, God bless the Republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march both day and night. Alright, well ladies and gentlemen, together we are going to embrace our liberty. There are new militia units forming because of what happened west of the Mississippi. The FEMA people don't understand the American people are finished with them. Really, really, really. They get taught a lesson like that. More people learn. We'll be back in about six minutes. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Martin. God bless you. God bless you, America. Did you read this? Chicago just became the murder capital of America. I don't understand. It's been a felony to have a gun since 95. I thought that was supposed to prevent murders. Unincrease them. Criminals will always find a way to get guns, while the rest of us are just left defenseless. Chicago authorities have seized over 75,000 firearms since 1995. And now, Chicago's murder rate is twice as high as New York City. Tonight, while you're asleep, criminals will be at work. Not in Kennesaw, Georgia. In 1982, our city passed a law requiring every household to have a gun. It terrified the criminals, and our violent crime rate is now 75% below the national average. We sleep well here in Kennesaw. Americans who own guns prevent over a million violent crimes every year and save lives. Get the facts. Visit armedandsecure.org. That's armedandsecure.org. Remember, remember the 6th of November.
