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 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. in 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, in 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 won't 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'll 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 mist for once 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 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 to deal the land of the free? on and behind the lines of occupied territories west, southwest, central and northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on We the People Radio Network at wtprn.com. That's We the People Radio Network at wtprn.com. And we're on live 365 then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM&FM major stations, AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies both east and west of the Mississippi. And we want to say hi to our friends in Missouri and Kansas today. Also our major stations, let's see, Virginia, West Virginia, Carolina, and in other places around the country. Today is Weapons Wednesday. We're going to be covering arms and equipment, but you know, there's a ongoing question especially with regard to equipment uh... in this this debate on why even thought about being an issue back in the uh... seventies nays but it came up as a question it would you be better if you're carrying a main battle rifle ready combat arm you know revenue carrying a second hand gun or second of fire my hand gun or something though that hand gun weight could best be served by having a couple more magazines or you know couple more decryps and grand ammo or you know couple more several more you know three or four more ar-15 magazines well the problem is this when a weapon malfunction takes place it's not when you plan on it it just happens to be when things happen it can be everything from a physical failure because of failure to properly maintain the arm. This does happen. It may not be a intentional example. You've been using the arm for most of the day. And even though you've done what we're talking about, you've cleaned the weapon on occasion, dusted it where you can when you've had a minute's worth of time, you're still doing hundreds of rounds of firing, maybe thousands. It's not unlikely. In fact, it's not impossible. It's more than likely. What happens is you may be using different ammunition. You will have carbon build up. You will have dirt and crud. You may be in a wet environment. Remember, let's take carbon, take a little bit of dust, and let's mix it with moisture and see what happens. The word gunk comes to mind, okay? So, at a given point, you're going to have certain problems that exist on the battlefield. You're not getting a chance to jump into the truck and wait for a little bit. I'm gonna time out. I'm a little wet and cold, and I gotta clean the gun real quick. It's not gonna work that way. Now certain weapons are more forgiving in some ways than others or were designed that way. For instance the AK is pretty much a works in a drawer or self cleaning rifle. The SKS, the FNFLs like this too actually has a slide trough slash tray system. So it works debris and dirt to the bottom of the weapon where it evacuates out the magazine well or evacuates out where the trigger, actually where the trigger guard is. uh... and again it's it's gravity they're basically coming on gravity to a degree and the fact that the scraping process of the flight mental services will help to clean the arm to a certain extent with maneuver military arms a gas control system was put in place to address this issue but it's not on every fire of the uh... if nfl and the uh... hk option and depending on the period of uh... for the weapon uh... uh... may have additional features to support the uh... problems that he developed on the battlefield uh... what else or what else is uh... is there to deal with the issue well now again one of the things that uh... as a competition sure we would do is after firing many rounds or five rounds and maybe we end up with the government issuing uh... arrange uh... that a lot that turns out to be pretty dirty or you know nasty as far as credit company with a bunch of winchester western twenty two ammunition back in the seventies late seventies early eighties system had to use it up they were going to get rid of it so you had to get used to idea that if you were going to shoot it you're going to have malfunctions. People corrected that by simply going out to the local gun shop that was closest or wherever and buying competition ammunition quickly if they weren't already using it. So they could finish up the relays without having any problems with regard to alibis on the range. An alibis where you have a weapons malfunction or there were some jamming that can be corrected in a particular relay, that particular circuit. Anyway, in a combat situation, when it happens, you may not be able to correct it. Now, we discussed immediate response through training. This is where something comes up called immediate action. Each weapon has a peculiar operation system. There is basically the operation by numbers or going through the numbers to get the weapon, to bring it into service, to take it out of service, et cetera. And these are all taught to each army, each individual soldier. to one degree or another depending upon the period of service that they were in. In fact, it goes all the way back to the American Revolution. You might recall where the militia and actually the regular army, the regulars of the U.S. military, the militia making the majority up of the fighting forces, the regulars had a particular order of arms that was rather ornate. and rather extensive. And you might recall that was condensed and progressively about halfway through the war was broken down to a much shorter process, making it easier to instruct and give the commands. Well, these were automatic procedures. These were eventually ingrained into the soldier. And even to this day, even though you might be carrying an M4, you could be on M4 carbine slash AR-15, uh... in both weapon in the m sixteen family or if you're carrying a kate another army there are still a set number of actions and responses that you make that basically go all the way back to that revolutionary war period or the most loading period uh... we've got altered what it is that we're carrying a bit we can go to ray guns next and we might still have problems with batteries you would still have problem with caseless ammunition and the magazines that hold them, discarding Sable technology, whatever it is that they go to and whatever propellant they use or whatever energy source is used, there's going to be a need to replace components and actually, no matter what, because it's man-made, you're going to have malfunctions. Now you've gone through your immediate action, blop, blop, blop, okay, you've checked, you've chin poured on the AR-15, firm that you have a failure to feed or at least a failure to seat. But unfortunately you don't know what's stopping it. Well on the side of your air 15 slash m16 you have what we call that HAP slap happy tool the forward assist I always had a problem with that because first of all my logic would be if my weapon malfunction to the point where I can see about a third of the case Mmm, might it not be that there's something in front of the case that might have gotten in there? Well, no matter what the issue is, you're first instructed to slap that forward assist several times forcefully to try and convince the bolt carrier to move forward. Once the round is seated, even though it could be deaded or misformed or whatever's wrong with it, you pull the trigger, the primer goes off, and hopefully the force of extraction, the force of the energy of the round will pull it out of the chamber and it'll clear your problem. Here's the bad situation. You thought that was going to work. You slammed it three, four, five times. You brought it back to your shoulder. You try, you hope that the hammer is going to fall, the sear, that the sear is going to disengage. Well, it does clack and you get a response. Optionally, the extractor breaks or the, let's see, the rim of the case that you're trying to extract, the brass is soft, and it pulls. Well, now guess what? You have a malfunctioning arm with a problem that cannot easily be cleared. this point in time. You can fix Manettes, which by the way you might already want to have in place, and you can decide to use a combination of harsh language, a very impressive grimace, a sharp pointy thing on the end of what is now a very sophisticated home guard pike. For the time being, save yourself, you might turn and run, but that offers your back and your comrades might not be very happy about that because you're leaving the other four men in your fire team and the other, the whole nine men in your squad back there to fight and fend for themselves. Now, wouldn't it make more sense that when you realize this catastrophic failure has taken place, instead you reach to your shoulder holster or you reach to your hip holster and lo and behold you have a hand cannon that's hanging there. Wow, look at that. Now, instead of using harsh language in the sharp pointy thing and after the weapon has had a significant malfunction and I'm not picking on the air 15s, it could be any firearm that has this happen with adhesion between the expended case and the chamber. You're being overrun right now. Now the cool thing is this, chances are if you were being, if you're in close contact and you have to switch from the long gun to whatever personal firearm you're carrying, guess what? You're probably within reasonable range so that even in a panic situation, you can be fairly effective with that handgun. Now, if you don't, it's kind of hard to make a handgun out of dirt, clay, mud, you know, I mean you can pick up stone and throw him. But there again that's also drawing attention and making people wonder, hey why is he throwing those stones? Maybe he's not much of a threat. And now he's not a threat at all. You see how that works? Now with 10 men in the field, if at all possible, and I don't care what it is, I'll give you an example. I was carrying an M16, we overrun a position. a counter attack within anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes for the formation that you've run off of that fortification to try to reorganize and retake what you just took. Now, actually it wasn't a malfunction, it was a lack of ammunition having expended all of my combat load. As the counter attack begins, what I did is I reached into my OR back mag pouch that I had, so this was concealed. out an 8 shot 22 caliber 4 inch little H&R backup. Now it wasn't designed to be fancy. People would say well what good is that? Well that's 8 more rounds than having a screaming holler and by the way everybody else at the very least you're participating. Now ideally what you'd want to be carrying a product high power or Glock pistol carry two or three if they're light enough anyway guys. Come on we've talked about this before. But the point is that by having a firearm a hand cannon or a you know personal firearm of that type of some kind you are continuing to contribute to the defense or the offense of the formation. What this does is it buys time. It allows you to contribute, but then with any other opportunity, your first mission is to try and clear your primary weapon, bring it back up and online, inspect it to make sure there's not a significant malfunction or something that you may have missed. In other words, a ruptured barrel, burst chamber, could be any number of things that might have damaged the arm, it's not likely. Could also be shot, by the way. Most people don't think about this. Remember, and in fact, I tried to explain this to some students the other night, a couple nights ago. is if you're in contact and you're worried about the bad guys and you're thinking they got body armor and they got this and that and the other and you're using MBRs, main battle rifles, if all else fails, aim for their weapon guys. First of all, the M16 slash M4, the AK are pretty good sized firearms. Now, you're already being trained to fire center of mass and ore, people boast their training for headshots. Well, if they're armored up to the point where it looks like they're pretty stiff as far as being able to get into the soft, chewy stuff, the weapon. Most people don't think about this. In fact, remember, it's a nice hit. You know, all of a sudden, they're in the predicament we're talking about. And at the very least, you force them to go from a primary battle rifle or a primary firearm down to a secondary arm that they probably are carrying. Okay? So remember, you don't have to shoot the assailant if you can engage the firearm. In fact, remember, it's typically carried center of mass. In an ambush situation, typically it'll be carried port arms, lower high. Either way, it's not that difficult to hit. And again, if you disable the arm, you're neutralizing a good portion of the threat that exists with the other force. We'll be back in about three minutes.

This is the Intel Report Live. It's Weapons Wednesday. Real quick here, just the point is that you can't fabricate an arm in the field. You can improvise as needed, and there are a number of things that can be done. But there's no excuse considering how inexpensive the conventional handgun of any kind is. You take your pick of flavor. Mark's not saying go get this. However, there are some weapons, and I will give you some recommendations in this respect. Remember that the K-Frame revolver has been around for probably close to 60 years in its present configuration. Maybe a little long. Oh, actually, Slatmark, 80 years, correct. direction in the basic K-frame model. There have been changes. We have the victory models from World War II and we have several K-frames available before World War II. But the basic K-frames, Smith and Wesson Model 10, for instance, has been around for pretty much the last almost a century. Not quite, but it's not as old as 1911, but it's pretty close. Anyway, lots of weather. lots of uh... speed loaders all kinds of spare parts there's the k fourteen series you know the uh... a number of different smith k frames the model sixty six model sixty five simple revolver nothing fancy works every time pull the trigger boom pop boom pop boom pop there you go click click always empty time to use speed loader point is if you don't if you want to go k frame is also rueger's are out there there are cold the fear of the official police Not the police positive, that's a J frame. The official police models are made World War II and through to actually almost the 60s. The official police, Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, that were available. They're a K frame, very desirable, very strong. The only thing to remember with Colts and Smiths is they work in opposite directions. They're like a mirror image of each other. So that's a thing to remember. operation, but you'll learn that as you develop the arm. Rossi makes a whole bunch. I know they're foreign, but Rossi, Taurus, and many of the companies make some nice little J frames and K frames. If you go to automatics, high point, there's a direction. We've had our guys testing to failure these things. Now we're not doing any maintenance to see where the jams or malfunctions will be. Things have taken a couple thousand to three thousand rounds before there's any real problems and gotten dirty, dirty. Guys, there's little FEG 32s out there that are military surplus, the CZ 52, the Tokarev. You also have the 1911, of course, many other firearms that are an option. But whatever you choose, I will remind you again, the basic rule of supply and support. Your enemy thinks that you're not thinking to the future. Whatever arm you pick up, firing pin, extractor, and ejector. At the very least, firing pin, extractor, and ejector for every arm. Now handguns especially. Another thing, remember we also need to make sure we pick up, and as we were talking about before, speed loaders. Now speed loaders, 6.5 shot are available, HSK, but there's also Sierra and a whole bunch of other surplus models out there. You pick what's cheap, it'll match your weapon to work with it, along with leather for everything else. That's all off the shelf and you can go to the used boxes and get some really nice equipment without spending a whole lot of money, or if you got the funds, you go brand new and pick what you like, okay? Most important is know how to use or bring into service that weapon. I don't care what it is, that's why revolvers are a bit of an advantage because it's a kiss. Keep it simple, stupid. There's minimal action. If you have a malfunction because of a bad primer, which is not likely, but it can happen, a mischarge with regard to the powder charge, something that went wrong. You got permeated with oil. You pull the trigger, crack, nothing. All you do is pull the trigger again. Okay, so it's a little better than having to worry about remembering while I gotta pull the slide back. I may have to drop the magazine. I may have to remember where the plane was. There's things you gotta be thinking about. But again, you train with the automatics, you'll learn real quick. And I know, there's Glock guys out there saying right away, well, the Glocks are so easy. You're right. So if you can afford a Glock, go with a Glock. In fact, the one thing I like, if you're a pilot or if you're a mechanized and you're listening to me with like the 28th mech here in Michigan or one of the others, their militia units that are mechanized or air mobile, Guys, those little glocks spit everywhere. I'd carry three of them. Not two of them, three of them. And you don't have any excuse not to. They could all be in the same magazine. The weapons are so light you won't notice that they're in place. If you're a pilot and you gotta go down, something happens to one of them. Guess what? You got two more. Now that doesn't mean you start thinking stupid. It means that you still have the ability to continue to fight effectively, even if something malfunctions or if something's lost. One of the problems with a pilot leaving an aircraft is remember this, pilots will not leave nor will air crews leave an aircraft unless they absolutely have to typically. Because of this, they're in a catastrophic situation and they usually lose things on the way out or break bodies because nobody likes to pay all over anybody else's enemy territory. Who's the piece of equipment they're responsible for? Typically they like to get back somewhere near to friendly territory. For that reason, if you're in aviation, carrying more than one weapon is a good idea. You may lose something with the upper web gear or the upper rig. You can also have one packed away, a personal arm packed away where it's out of sight, out of mind, and secure separate from the other two arms that you're carrying exposed, typically one in a hip holster or one in a thigh holster and then one in a shoulder holster, alternating their locations. I just want to bring this up because it's something we've been discussing for years and it's something that each one of you take the time, find the solution, inexpensive or whatever price tag you can afford to fill that niche. Now we have Chris in Pennsylvania. Chris, jump in there please. And I know this always happens because we probably caught this. Chris from Pennsylvania maybe right here. There we go. We got you sir. Jump in there. Well, the thing to look at right now, and here's an idea, now you can spot check around. Are you internet capable? I'm sure you probably are. Okay, what you can do, first of all, is search around to see who's got an AK-74 on the shelf right now, which are running about 320 to 340. Another thing, if you've got any local gun shows there in Pennsylvania, and there are quite a few, is to start looking for somebody who wants to maybe sell off the table. private AK-74 slash 545 by 39. They're cheap, they're readily available, and they're the cheapest for ammunition. Now, if you're going to do that, right now, the 545 by 39 cartridge is the cheapest caliber in the country in rifle. Our guns, that's capital R, capital G, U-N-S dot net, okay? Capital A to capital R, capital G, U-N-S, dot net our guns dot net go there they don't have much ammunition they sell mostly weapons parts they do have a gun shop but one of the things they've got is five four five by thirty nine aka ammunition for the AK 74 53 grade Sierra boat tail FMJ military loads hundred and ten dollars four thousand one hundred and sixty cases or two thousand one hundred and sixty rounds of ammunition cheap as you're going to get a little less than 10 cents around for the basic cost now they're still shipping on that another option is you can go to amoman dot com five by thirty nine and they also have uh... magazines sometimes you check on that the uh... rifle itself the romanian uh... a k seventy four there probably they really can't tell the difference these particular rifles weren't significantly altered for to make them identifiable so remember The 545, it's the basic AK design, but it's just in a different chambering. There's nothing you have to relearn. There's no new education processes. If you've ever had any experience or had a chance to handle an AK-47, you can handle an AK-74. The exact same system, just different depending on where you are and what type of weapon you're thinking about. The other option is to go with, for instance, the 30-06. 30-06 ammunition is plentiful right now. And Greek ammunition in 20-round boxes, round eclipse, also in five round stripper. The rands are not cheap so if your budget is a little tight then the consideration might be to go with a bolt gun in .30-06 in a modern rifle such as the Savage bolt action or one of the Remington or Winchester's. The advantage of this is standard rifle, a lot of them out there, parts are everywhere, easy to use, and the most important thing is readily available ammunition in a simple caliber so you can actually train with it, you know, in a readily available and useful caliber. Stay wherever you are, Chris. I tell you what we're going to do, we're going to go to break your bottom of the hour back in three minutes with the people at Radio Network.

Those are the two basic ones. 30 Russian is still out there, 7.62x39, so the AK is an option, regular AK. A little more expensive right now, the least expensive for the price. You know, there was how many cartridges you can get for the price is the 5.45x39 AK, AK-74 ammo. In pistol, The cheapest out there in quantity would be the Tokarev cartridge 7.62x25 and if you're looking for a pistol to match up to that there are all kinds of flavors of Tokarev pistols and there's the CZ-52. Now mags are available from any number of companies so getting spare mags will be eight shot in line they don't make anything bigger which are fine there's just eight shot eight rounds was typical for the 9mm Parabellum or the 30 Tokarev type weapons and many other firearms for the longest time. straight-in line magazines easy to maintain easy to easy to load I would get the ammunition first it's about the same situation about eight cents to nine cents a round for Bulgarian Romanian or Russian right now now if you get the CZ 52 start buying mags right away there's a lot of military mags and there are aftermarket mags available the same is true for the Tokra but not too many aftermarket mags out there simply because There are so many military Tokarev mags that nobody really wanted to, I think, really compete with military ones, that that's a good option. Now both of those pistols are easy to maintain. Some of them are very sound. I wouldn't think twice about picking them up and using them as a personal arm. That's a good direction. The 7.62x25 is a good, hot cartridge, 30 caliber. Nothing new there actually is the foundation of that cartridge is the model 90s 1896 Broomhandle Mauser cartridge which goes actually back one step farther to what's called the Bouchard the cartridge itself was designed in a hair lighter load for a different pistol altogether that's more than the cartridge is more than a hundred and the 110 115 maybe 117 years old But it's still a an accurate cartridge even to this day and a lot of people will swear by it and use it themselves Does that help? AK-74 and the Grand would be another option the M1 if you do get the M1 remember that it's going to require Buying d clips and keeping extra d clips around because that's what the the magazine Requires a d clip it's an eight shot d clip you've seen them in the movies like Big Red 1 Band of Brothers Saving Ryan's privates, you know movies like that so well that's no problem of the best thing you remember here's another thing and this is for all of our listeners to if you're going to pick up the weapon and you're going to pick up the ammunition please make a point of getting extra cleaning kits and support items for the weapon because right now they're cheap one of the cool things about the eight days and even the grand are a lot there there's a whole bunch of thirty caliber and five four five and two two three clean kids they're cheap cheap cheap Get extras because they're brand new you can put them on the shelf. They'll be there for the whole of your life You can pass them on to other people if need be with a weapon that's also a sewing feature with the arm Most people think about it's not the razor is the blades that get you all the accoutrements that you can pick up that match with the weapon I would do now and Remember also that if you're going to put a weapon system together You want to make sure that your combat harness matches the weapon system? I'll give you an example. There's a lot of SKS's that people are carrying. Well, rather than using, what you do is you go out and seek out the SKS-type stripper clip carrying systems and integrate them with the American equipment. In other words, you can get belt pouches. There are chest pouches. For the SKS, that's an excellent solution. However, if you're getting the AK-47 or AK-74, Center Fire Systems, there's one company. You can get pouches, you can pick up cleaning kits. Another company is Maine, as in the state of Maine, M-A-I-N-E, military.com. Go to their closeout sections and take a look at some of the stuff they have there. Now you can get some pretty good buys on the support items. Again, tailor your combat gear to take advantage, your fighting load. to take advantage of the existing support systems that match the rifle you choose. If you're going to get a Garand, then what you want to do is start with the basis for the basis of your combat load using a 10 pocket cartridge belt. There are reproductions and there are originals that are kind of used. You can get for a good price. They use a dot system. They carry one D-clip per pouch. And basically it's the belt part of your combat harness where you have a set of suspenders that hold that up. So the 545 is a good option, 30-06 is another one, still a lot of 30 caliber AKMO out there too. 223 is be, well, pricey. 308, very pricey. Which is why 0-06 is perhaps for somebody coming in new is the better choice. And again, remember, it doesn't have to be the grand in semi-auto. It can be a bolt gun. You may be able to find a nice price, a Savage Arms Rifle, or one of the other companies, you know, basic rifles. scope mounted make sure that if you do buy it if you can put iron sights on all of your weapons make sure that way if you damage the scope the rifle is still serviceable aimed effectively you can guesstimate at close range but not for any long shots with iron sights any of sound good thanks a lot you're welcome Chris appreciate it I know there's a lot of stuff we do there but again take advantage the archives also we're gonna work on some new videos like we haven't don't have enough to do and as busy as it is he's buried But if you want, some of the videos that we have, there's equipping for the New World Order part one and two. Also, there's little videos that we did on YouTube that are bridging videos. There are going to be more of those up very soon. The ones that are up there right now cover basic load-bearing equipment. We touched on, let's see, some of the best technologies. Also, there's three that are there for chemical warfare, nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. Comes with basic work. You want to take advantage of that. So take the time, look at them, go to YouTube and then punch in Liberty Tree Radio. It'll take you to the menu of videos, go through those, take a look at everything. You wanna help us out. Rate them and rating them high would really be nice guys. You know, be nice to us if you can't. I'm just asking. And then you can comment too, which is always good. We appreciate that. Take the time to comment. and plug in from there and uh... you guys get the information as as christians saying the uh... all it is taking the energy archives wtpr and dot com are the weapons when these programs are in the archives he can go back to them and review them again one of the most common problems we have right now guys is just I am which is why I said ammunition first then get the weapon and try to pick up the magazines parallel once you've decided to commit to a certain arm even if you put it on the layaway start picking the mags up to right away so you have spare mags combat load for any of the weapons your basic personal load should be about 22 magazines that sounds excessive and people would say that's heavy well guess what you know you start pulling the trigger you're gonna wish real quick that you were a tad heavier when the time comes now those 22 mags The reason I'm saying that is because remember you can also pre-deploy spares in a forward location somewhere else. So you can have a percentage of the magazines that you possess, another site where you're going when the time comes, let's say that you're evacuating from an area. You want to have as much of your weight downrange where it's available and doesn't have to burn, you know, doesn't force you to burn calories, which means you've got to carry more food, you've got to carry more water to keep the body running, to carry more weight, etc., etc. Well, let's knock that formula down a bit. You've got peacetime right now, pre-deploy your equipment where it's away from. That's critical. You can also distribute and disperse your equipment in the same way. Sound good? of what else we got going right now well real quick you know about the quickly one into if anybody would like to copy and we've probably see it on youtube if you haven't check out equipping for the new world or part one to that's one way to watch it the other option if you would like a copy uh... set the set of uh... equipping for the new world order part one and equipping for the new world or part two Part 3, we're working on this, not out yet, but it's actually part of it in the can, and it's the editing issue taking time. We've got to share time on everything. Well, what you do, send $20 to pbnpobox194. Dexter, Michigan 48130. Again, it's $20 for the set of DVDs or if you need VHS tape, you've got to let us know.

This is Jack Blood of a syndicated radio talk show, Deadline Live, with a very important public service announcement. Most analysts and pundits agree that a preemptive and possibly a nuclear attack on Iran will take place within the next several weeks. This must be stopped. With the majority of Americans and peoples of the world against another major war, the need for a new 9-11 or a Gulf of Tonkin exists and may be executed by the military industrial complex. The 9-11 Truth Movement has responded with a direct counter operation entitled, The Week of Truth. The week of truth was initiated by the most influential leaders, personalities, researchers, and activists in the 9-11 Truth Movement today. The award-winning actor Daniel Sinjata has accurately described the Week of Truth as a tipping point for the entire truth movement. We must alert the public now to the truth of 9-11 and the realities of false flag terrorism or pay the consequences. We must have your help to circumnavigate the mass media blockade for truth and information. Support this unilateral effort. Go to www.weekoftruth.org. That's www.weekoftruth.org right now and get started. Failure is not an option. Ron Paul, you're here. The freedom message waking up people everywhere.

One of the things we send out is the detox formula which is critical. We've had these latest series of flus that went through between the detox formula and using garlic and onions and hot peppers. I had the little bugger, but I've certainly had the flu just like everybody else. or whatever it is it was going through, but it only bothered me for about a day. Still, you know, causing coughing and stuff like that, but nothing by comparison with what everybody else had to go through. The reason is the detox formula stomped on it as it was starting, along with, of course, pepper and hot onion, I'm sorry, garlic, onion and hot pepper soup. And I mean as hot as you can stand. And I burned it out and used all of these Well, all the homeopathic solutions we've been explaining, all we've been talking about, but also been taught to use for many years. Medical support is part of the inventory that's critical, especially preventive medical support for the Patriot Movement because the medical system is absolutely unreliable. It's the only way to describe it. Otherwise, with ammunition and equipment, remember, there's ammo man dot com, center virus systems dot com, and of course J&G sales for you guys on the west coast. There are many other companies. We've brought them up over the last couple of months. And as we see, some of them you'll notice we're not mentioning, even Centerfire. Guys, you guys, we bought them out. It's that simple. But there are other companies that we've bought out and they have not been able to replace or resupply. So some of them are not mentioning for that reason because we're not going to have you worry about wasting your time there. The 545AR15 upper receivers, those projects are moving ahead steadily. I will warn you about something that if you're an AR-15 operator, you got a 545 option in your inventory here pretty soon, you got to decide. You might want to start saving some money up because that means that you can start to run your AR-15 and get out on the range and train for about one third of the people that makes all the difference in the world. You're still, your immediate action is going to be the same. You don't change mags. There's nothing you change other than that upper receiver. Click, click, click, click. and now you got a 5.45x39 rifle and you got cheap ammunition. You might want to start picking the ammo up too. Other issues, now you know what we talked about firearms and we always do on Weapons Wednesday, but one of the other weapons is a personal knife or fighting knife. And you know I mentioned that okay we're in a situation, we got in the harsh language phase, the weapons malfunctioned. Well, there may be a situation where even though you wanted to get to that handgun in time, you may not be able to for a number of reasons. That's why the Banette, for any rifle that can take a Banette, you should have it. Now, it's not all the times you don't need it. It's the one time it would be better to have a slashing or sharp, pokey-sticky thing on the end of that rifle as opposed to trying to use it as a very expensive $600 club. Okay? That's something to think about. Now again, one of the issues with regard to close-in combat is people like to grab muzzles or whatever. Well, think about it. If you can see and react fast enough, and typically you will, what you do is you pull back. You get used to the idea of, if need be, stepping back and retreating. However, little point here with all of our students, you don't cross your legs. In other words, don't cross over as you'd normally walk. shuttle back or in other words trot back away from the target as you're engaging remember that if somebody is reaching for the end of your weapon and they pull the weapon back they're going to get a handful of bad at and try they still won't we have time to react and they grip it well the next best thing to do is pull real hard again they got themselves a handful of cut And meanwhile, you've got pain that's being transmitted. There's all kinds of other good things that can happen there. Also remember, if you have to turn with the weapon, you can cross slash, you can thrust and of course stick the target. But the point is, that's a hell of a lot better than trying to beat, beat, beat. Because that's not going to be lethal, lethal, lethal. It's not going to start, you know, leaking the bad guy to make sure that he's disabled and progressively isn't able to fight. uh... there is another issue there though you don't have a bring the bed around if you've got the weapon cross-drawn the targets in front of you do a push-up with the rifle crossbar and and turn his face to a mile handful of chick with one on the ground to the other words the two of the people we go after that then crossbar with the uh... bandit but stroke your choice point is that that your weapon is just exactly that if he'd be at the mayhem are Beyond that, personal fighting knives. I don't have to tell you all about that. There's all kinds of images you've seen. Concepts are out there. It's purely a matter of what fits you ergonomically. Now, what do we mean by ergonomically? Remember where Mark carries certain things because they fit my arm length. They fit my body. They fit physical restrictions or injuries that mean that I can only operate or say certain people can only operate in certain ways. You'll you station the the fighting knives to fit what you believe are your personal not believe but you have demonstrated your personal limitations and needs One thing to keep in mind a boot knife or a slash a leg knife is not a bad idea Typically as you will find out a lot of people have been talking about this when you're under fire you crouch down Imagine just crouch down bend your knees and look at physically how you are deployed in a situation like that When you're crouched down and your hands are to your side, your fighting knife located on the left or right side along the boot or along the calf is actually in a very convenient location. Needless to say, there are other places for the knives to be stationed. Traditionally with American martial arts, we're talking back to the revolution and the Indian wars even, the fighting knife used to be right next to the pistol. there was an option to use either the fighting knife or to use the pistol depending upon the threat level and how quiet you might wish to be. Now we know you have a dominant hand, left or right, and typically you'll want to fight with that or you'll try to fight with that particular appendage until it's damaged. So, again, your best foot forward or your best blade forward and in the best hand means that the blade should be deployed accordingly. Test and experiment. Now we've pointed this out when you look at equipping part one and part two, but specifically in part two, I pointed out that on the Alice backpacks, a lot of you are using the Alice 1's or the Alice 2's. You may have a medium or a large. Behind the popcorn pockets on the outside there are slides. There's blank space. There are hanger bands for the 1910 type hanger all the way around the top. Standard machete sheath guys will hook up to those hanger bands and then can slide behind the pocket so it doesn't flop around. Now it's easier for you to reach over your shoulder and bring that machete into a sweeping attack right from the sheath, okay, when it's on your backpack. Little things to remember, ideas hopefully that we've given you that are solutions. Remember that we have more ammunition, more ammunition and more ammunition to buy. The idea is to actually deploy everything. 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. Together we'll defend our liberty and we'll maintain our freedom. Thank you and good evening. We'll see you tomorrow. 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. I don't increase 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. mind and on demand. This is we the
