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, 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. But 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 the 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 they're children, old people. 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 and 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? Oh, 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 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 as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch 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, and dill the land of the free? both on and behind the lines of occupied territories, south, southwest, east, and northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on We the People Radio Network, wtprn.com. That's we the people radio network, wtprn.com, and we're on 3treeradio.4mg.com, also on your stations, micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies both east and of the Mississippi. Well, today is Weapons Wednesday and we've been covering a number of subjects so far today, but it is getting towards the end of the day here too for a lot of you. It's the end of the work day. Pay attention. Be careful on the way home. Remember that two cars cannot occupy the same space at the same time. And I know it's beautiful outside, little chilly here in Michigan, by the way, little cool. So much for the global warming slash cooling, warming, warming, cooling, whatever. We're seeing some rather light temperatures for this time of year. That's unique and still you can expect it. Anyway, for those of you who are out and about, probably had a chance maybe to get to the range here in the middle of the week, some people do that. Remember safety first is the issue. Make sure that you understand how to handle your weapons. Always review your arms with the other people that you're going to allow to actually use them on the range. We're not playing with them. We're going to actually perform with real quick footnote here again. Center fire systems. Centerfiresystems.com. Centerfiresystems.com. Repeat. Centerfiresystems.com. Also, 1-800-950-1231. That's 1-800-950-1231. 1-800-950-1231. Why am I driving that home? Well, we got case prices on HK knockoff pistols for 50 food sites. The extra lights, the Piccinini sight system is on board, all kinds of cool stuff. 16 of them for $56. You're talking so cheap you can't afford not to have them as a training aid. 24 of the 120 TSL Tactical Solution Neon Fire Pistols, 24 of them for $108. Comes to about $350 apiece. Also, they've got AR-15s, 8 for $100. 15 maybe commando m4 models 6 for 120 those are electric and they do have a knockoff of the the spots 12 shotgun for let's see 12 for $84 take a look at the Center fire systems.com page go to it you'll find the listing right there it's the first thing on the page boom right in the middle of the screen they've got several hundred of each of these in stock so they do have them available Now, the reason I bring that up, those are training aids for familiarizing people with pistol and rifle marksmanship and of course with a shotgun. Straight forward, simple designs, easy to use, you guys be creative and come up with solutions. Again, 1-800-950-1231. Also our sponsor, one of several sponsors we have here, We the People Radio Network, main military dot com. That's main, M-A-I-N-E, as in the state, main military dot com. They have a bunch of cool stuff right now guys, check them out, especially in the sales, look in the closeout sections. German or French combat mittens, leather, which you gotta remember, this isn't the pleather stuff or the Chinese chippy leather stuff. This is regular military high grade equipment. So take advantage of like 10 for $10 I believe right now. Also they've got gun cleaning kits. There's a bunch of other stuff that's there on hand. go through the list, see what it is that's useful. You might find also they have odds and ends in certain things such as patrol caps, you know, one size of a certain model left, hey, it might apply to something that you need, especially size and of course camouflage pattern depending on what you're committed to. So again, that's mainmilitary.com. I want to say main military supply because that's the name of the company. military dot com go to their site you don't have to do a whole lot of calling that way you can give a ring pay attention to our advertisement box because you'll find coming up there remember that we do have a lot of other sponsors support the sponsors who have stepped forward to sponsor the network uh... one of the things for me didn't have to do that they can play it's safe they could come up with all kinds of excuses but just reversed they've actually stepped forward so let's help them to help the network and keep programming up and on the air Okay, now, one of the things about training with the Airsoft real quick is even though you do not have a handgun, this gives you a chance to train with a handgun. So if you have a unit, a bunch of people that you're working with, this gives you a whole bunch of training aids to use right away. Now, as far as committing to a certain pistol or a certain, you know, what rifle or whatever, I'll repeat something that is now the nature of just the way things are. First of all, go out and find the ammunition. Find the most ammunition for the least amount of money that you can afford. Once you have the ammunition in hand, then find a weapon system to match up with it. Now, you may have to, you know, shop around to find something that will fit your price range. But most important is that you have something to feed the weapon. Now that sounds kind of strange, most people think, but that's not true because again, the agenda that the enemy has presented and brought forward is that they are cutting off the ammunition supply. No, it's not just shortages of blah blah blah blah blah. It's devaluation of currency, specific and intentional targeting of the destruction of surplus ammunition by the United Nations. One of the things that they did is they paid a lot of the Eastern Bloc countries to destroy whole inventories. Yeah, that's right. They did and everybody in the industry knows this now a percentage of the stuff was sent to for instance the Middle East for use but you know There's a lot of calibers and a lot of stuff is out there and the poor fool bought into this not realizing in the long run It would undermine their overall marketing because well they got k-98. They have nagat rifles They have peppy ish pistol or a papier's chambered pistols in 762 by 25 by destroying the ammo a lot of people are going going to pay top dollar for the pistol or the rifle or whatever. So they kind of cut their own hamstrings. And if there's Europeans listening right now, I hope they were smart and figured this out. They've stopped any of this BS cooperating with the United Nations scumbags because we know what their agenda is and what their plan is. Their police state 2000, the adventure continues. Okay. Lots of ammunition that is in inventory is very useful. 6.2x25, 5.4x5x39, and there's a whole bunch of 6 out there. Now, we've been eating it up, I'm going to tell you we know that, and progressively the systems are, you know, are being knocked down one at a time as far as who has one on the shelf. So reloading has to be tied in with this, and nothing, and I mean nothing, is thrown away. Absolutely nothing, even the spent components such as old primers must be we can reactivate and we can make them work but we gotta have the primers on the shelf to do it the once we have the components we can re-fabricate accordingly now this is all been done before back in nineteen seventy seven for instance of that period of time through to the early eighties ammunition was tight people two two three surplus did not exist to it most people don't understand this uh... another thing happening right now with regard to parts pieces and assemblies Main military supply center fire systems, ammo man dot com, there's a whole bunch of companies out there. Main military supply has a lot of cool stuff sitting on the shelf. That's military surplus. And we're going to have the owner up here on the air with us pretty soon with main military supply. Other people have reinforced this, but we know that the system is drying up in different ways. Now there's a number of reasons for this. At the very least, guys, the Cold War has been over for a bit. We're now into a bunch of hot wars. Cold War just meant they kept making stuff build it up and then they get rid of it to a degree and they'd have a few flashpoints here and there. Now we have ongoing wars that last for years. Five years worth of military attrition. What does that mean? Everything from boot laces to socks, from underpants to web gear, from web gear to body armor to gloves, all the things that are perishable. Stuff that you live in every day in the field. consumes equipment. This means that a lot of stuff that would have been surplus in the past simply isn't available as surplus in the present. And here's the thing, a lot of the junk that presently is being made, and I mean it's junk A lot of it is, the quality is not what it was. It's being made in China. The overall specs have been, shall we say, skimped upon and would not have been acceptable in the past, but are acceptable now. Because the military, our US military, is not properly supporting the soldier. They don't care about American soldiers. They're global scum suckers and ring knockers. Okay, so they're not supporting our troops. They are pilfering the inventory of whatever else they can. passing it on or selling it on the black market etc. That's the ring knockers and the garbage we have that's in charge. That's how they're doing things. The soldier's going to have to accumulate it himself. He's the one who's going to have to put it together. You're the one in the same situation as militia or a personal defense. If you see something that you like, you better make a point of buying a few extras of it because you're not going to see it around forever. It's surplus. The excess and the excess inventory is depleting. So the good thing is this, a lot of the stuff at surplus that right now you're seeing is from the 70s and 80s, some of it's earlier still. Quality was still fairly high, but progressively from the 80s to the 90s, the 90s to the 80s, what you're seeing is a downgrading in quality and performance of the equipment. This means that even if there is used stuff that's being tossed out of surplus, less and less of it will be serviceable simply by the very nature of how it was built. Now, there's two solutions here. Number one, we can make do with whatever is left and we'll start filling in the blanks accordingly by repairing it. Number two is we build to old school standards, which is to a degree what we do, or we mix and match between the older equipment that we know is more serviceable in certain areas while it's available and combine it with the new stuff that's going to be useful until it falls apart and then we have to replace it. Okay, that's how it works, guys. So again, integrating systems, you have to know what works, what doesn't. One of the things that's really jumping out at everybody and I've seen this from the job or end is just plain old pistol belts Now what we call a pistol belt is a utility belt. Okay, has a series of grommets three tiers of grommets on it normally It can be a bronze keeper that holds the front of it together. It can be pot metal steel We've got plastic quick disconnect. There's steel quick disconnect, which are actually what I prefer But they're harder than hell to find now. They were made in the 50s to the early 60s Any of these are acceptable. The biggest problem is that fewer and fewer are available and just laying around. So the price has gone up. There are, and I believe, across my fingers, I hope they still have them because I need some myself, main military supply has Dutch pistol belts. Now they're a combination system. They've got grommets for the hanger systems that we use, or for, of course, the suspenders to attach them if they're US military type. but they also are a solid pistol belt designed to support British field gear connecting systems. The cool thing about that is that there's also a bunch of East German stuff out there that uses the same connector. And so these pistol belts are good for integrating a lot of the AK support equipment for the AK-47 in box car splinter camouflage. Okay? So, a solution, get old Maine military supply that got these Dutch crystal belts three for I think ten dollars. Double check that, you can go to their website MaineMilitary.com. We're going to go to break. This is the intel report, it's weapons Wednesday. Coming up with solutions, not complaining about the problems. Back in about three minutes. Greetings, I am Dr. Buell Von Schite with the White Paper Conicles. Mr. Steve Schenck with this fearless radio program is correct when he says the solution to our difficult times is to store food and get healthy. My comrades and I and the media don't want you to panic. We, unlike fearless radio, try not to tell you about the food control legislation. Hurricane Katrina, the American famine, families unable to buy food. If we told you that solution to all these problems is food, you'd panic and run out and buy a food before it disappeared, or you couldn't afford it. You'd completely mess up the perfect strategy for population control, and they'd kick us out of the Survivors Club. You are a sissy chicken if you call JMS eFoodsDirect.com and order food. This is Steve. Call 800-409-5633 on the web, efoodsdirect.com. 800-409-5633. You'd be considered a little bit crazy, but there's no such thing as a little bit. Yeah.

Blair pistols are a and Remember, remember, the 6th of November. I'm Ron Paul and you're listening to We The People Radio Network. And ladies and gentlemen, we are back. This is the Intel Report Live and I just wanted to let that play out still. That's my favorite song from Poker Face, rather die than be your slave. The purpose behind Weapons Wednesday is to make sure that, well, how many of them can we make die? And you know what? Them first. Okay, you've got to have that attitude once we engage and this begins, you know, you're going to have to be ready to win. We're not just trying to tie, of course, as a defender, the most important thing is to survive, obviously. That's the basic rule. Defenders need only survive the action. The attacker must vanquish. Okay? Basic load-bearing equipment. One of the things a lot of people are asking is, well, how many magazines should we carry? You know, When I say combat load and people go, oh, it sounds extreme, one of the things to remember is that when you're going in as militia or if you're going in, for instance, it's like an airborne operation. Airborne troops go in heavy. Why? Well, because whatever they got is all that they've got. Militia have to look at the same situation. The good thing is, though, you're on your defensive base, you're not going and projecting somewhere else to a steel oil for the Israelis or anything like that. Instead, what you're doing is you're fighting to defend your property, you're fighting to defend your community. You're going to make sure that you get rid of, you know, we're putting down the police state here, okay? Get rid of that problem. So, will that be in the case? And get rid of the invaders, because we know they're going to be using the foreign troops to get the mercenaries. Come on, guys. That's in your face now. It's not like anybody will watch urban legend. Okay, kiss my hind end on that one. Bottom line is, you've got the mercenaries literally at every step, every tier right now, plus foreign troops in whatever configuration they have with them is mercenaries. They were in your face in Katrina. A lot of people who saw that first hand, or if they missed that part of it, well then we need to go back through and review a little bit, guys. Because we even watched the Mexicans come across, rolling in the trucks with arms across the US border into the United States. Anybody who talks about that is urban led you can stick it out, okay? Now, with that being the agenda here, we gotta make sure that we are effectively able to carry the fight to the enemy. First of all, there are a number of different formulas. The very young cannot carry as much. The very old or the older people cannot carry as much. You have to tailor your combat load accordingly. And somebody's gonna go, well, all right. I could carry 27 magazines or 22 magazines, fully loaded M14 ammunition when I was a soldier. Plus I carried my load bearing equipment, two laws, rockets, two belts of ammo for the M60 Gunner. That's true. In 1975, you could do that. Or 1972. Now you may still be physically fit, but age and time takes its toll. Now in this respect, with regard to you guys that are shooters, uh... you may also want to change the configuration your weapon accordingly to meet your battlefield needs in your physical needs ergonomically because we of course you know our well we do become a little i want to the forward frail people because they start to imagine you know that over with a cane and wobbling around that's not the case the idea is that certain part your body won't take the punishment they did at the age of nineteen of the age of twenty seven of the age of thirty seven of the age of forty seven even okay so we may have to re-engineer accordingly to make the combat load work for us and we want to reach still so you're going to have to pick a weapon that fits your personality with regard to performance on the battlefield. Young people, same thing. We're looking at defense. We're not throwing the kids into the battle, but the idea is scallywags, swine, pigs, and parasites are going to show up in the back areas. It's that simple. You're going to have these parasites, the swine, who are going to want to steal or rape, kill, pillage, and burn because they figured they got an easy target. So the youth, the children, the women are going to have to know how to use their arms to defend each other, to mutually support each other, just as medical support, quartermaster with regard to supply, and everything else is part of their integrated process. Okay? For that reason, the younger people, and I'll refer to again equipping for the New World Order Part 1 and 2, take a look at the examples that I gave in equipping Part 1. The biggest concern was being able to effectively equip the children so that if they were separated, they could fend for themselves to a degree. At the very least, if they're carrying the basic food and basic necessities, all of which has to be easily usable by the children. You can have some fantastic stuff on their gear, but if they can't rip it open and eat it, or if they can't open up the container to drink the water, it's not going to do them a whole lot of good, okay? As they get older with regard to weapons at the very least to protect themselves, no, they're not going to be a little rambo-et or anything like that. But they do need weapons that fit their stature and allow them to protect themselves. There are a lot of perverts out there that are in government uniform. There are a lot of perverts and scurrilous swine. And I guess, let's go back guys, at Waco, they didn't care about the children when they started blasting holes in that building. They didn't care about the women, they were blasting holes, the bat faggots, the scum were pleinoperforating the place left, right, and fortunately the Davidians got themselves together and finally put some rounds down range and put the bad guys down. Okay? Now that can get into a whole argument of itself as far as follow-up performance, etc. But we aren't going there right now. We're just explaining that at a given point you have to decide whether or not you're going to be a victim or if you're going to survive the action. To survive the action you have to be a better fighter, you have to be more aggressive, you have to be properly outfitted and equipped. Now the average combat load for a main battle rifle with 20 round magazines should be about 22 magazines at least. Some people are going to say, well, that's a lot of mags. Really? Well, you'll find out real quick as the magazine's empty and as the bandolier's empty, that won't even seem to be enough. But 22 mags as a combat load is a good idea. Now, that doesn't mean they're all in magazine pouches located around the utility belt slash pistol belt that you're wearing or even on the assault rig. They can also be located in the butt pack. They can be located even in a separate auxiliary satchel. There's a lot of nice little packages out there that come with carrying straps kind of like a magazine version of a Stripper clip bandolier system. Why? Well because you're gonna go through them and you're gonna need them now you don't throw the magazines away But here's what happens magazines get dropped if it's out in the open and it means risking your life Chances are you're not gonna be able to do it. You're not gonna recover it You're gonna be running along and you thought you secured a magazine pouch flop, flop, flop, flop, jingle, jingle, hunk, clunk, clunk. You're busy dodging fire. You're busy trying to get out of the line of fire or somebody else who's desperately trying to kill you. And then you realize when you reach down for that magazine pouch to pouch that other mag that you had in the pocket, it's empty. Now somewhere back over the last 50 yards or last 25 yards or last whatever, that magazine's laying somewhere, but it's not worth any good to you. So there's another magazine gone. Now here's another problem. Magazines get broken. magazines get shot just like weapons and people do. So any number of things can happen. Remember you're wearing body armor underneath your assault vest or underneath your rig. Your magazine pouch takes a hit. It did its job. The rounds actually slow things down so does the magazine. The body armor took up the rest of the energy. Well guess what? There's two more magazines out of service if you're carrying stag magazine pouches. You see how this starts to add up? Real quick you can start to lose components. at the very least just because things happen. So you need to make sure you have the extras and that you have the ammunition to go along with them to keep that weapon system operational. Now, the other thing is, obviously, you might just use all 22 mags, because you've got to be popping some targets, and you've got to put them down so we can strip them later for all the goodies they've got. Well, in the meantime, we're going to go to break here now, bottom of the hour, second hour of the intel report, Weapons Wednesday. This is Mark on We The People Radio Network, back in three.

We've got blue sky courses heading towards sunset now. We've got some daylight so we're going to be able to work after we get done with this hour of the program. We do have a bunch of special parts we are working on. We've got some stuff that's being boxed up headed out to Texas, also California. Tennessee along with North Carolina and I believe Connecticut also so all you friends out there you got boxes headed that way as a matter of fact for Curtis in Illinois and I'll make sure that our friends in just gotta get this right Alan Alan Jay you know who you are I'm not gonna say but Alan make sure that you keep an eye out because you got boxes headed that way sleeping bags and other things So good stuff going on there. We have a lot of other projects that are in motion. There's some live fire training that's going to be taking place this weekend up at Camp Naga-Hitcham. The state number one is shut down, so that's a cancel. Range number one at Camp Naga-Hitcham is shut down. For reconditioning, they've got to do some excavation work. They're also mining the lead there, guys. They're taking my recommendation to heart because they realized they've been using this range from 9 and 18 years and nobody had ever pulled the lead out of the impact areas. We're talking a fortune in lead that's going to be going to bullet remanufacturing and bullet production very, very quickly. So that's a plus. But Camp Neg-Hitcham, range number one is shut down. on We do have a party on the beach this Saturday coming up. Party on the beach this Saturday coming up. So for everybody listening, make sure if you're able to make it show up. We got some cool stuff that we're going to be reviewing. We have three specific small classes we'll be giving. One is going to be on tactical operations, how to maneuver fire teams and squads. They've got everything pretty well set for that. Got to do a little more paint work and some really cool training aids or ADPU. We have I think one or two other trips are going to have to be made. We're going to be down Texas way pretty soon. I'll give the particulars on that in the next 48 hours or so. But for our friends down that way, just a warning order. I'll be speaking down in Texas along with other friends. A couple of rallies have been organized. Also, back east, we're going to be in the Pennsylvania area here pretty soon. Cross fingers. Hope everything goes well there. Leave it will. But it's a lot of running around. Needless to say, there's logistics and other issues that need to be addressed when it comes to these types of actions, especially since we're all the way over here in Michigan and we're traveling all across the country. So more on that in particular, those particulars in the next two days. Of course, we only got two days left with broadcasting here on We the People Radio Network. The weekend's coming up. We're halfway through the week and this is Weapons Wednesday. Now, I mentioned magazines. We explained the whole idea of ergonomics. and i think this is something where you know there was a an instructor had years ago said yeah i i bought myself uh... ultra light uh... web gear set and i had my old for light concho and my old for light their mattress and i had my old for light and and i added my old for light shovel and by the time i was done i had all my old for light little tools that i put on my uh... web gear and have multiplied with the magazines and by the time i was done It wasn't a whole lot that I was wearing that was very ultra light because all of it put together, well, it got kind of heavy. Okay, so keep in mind that, you know, it may say that it's ultra light in one form or another, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to stay that way when you add pound after pound after pound. So this gets down to another point where when you've decided what it is you want to commit to in the way of a weapon system. You want to put it together, put your load bearing equipment together and test it out, okay? Don't just put it together or keep it on the shelf and think, boy, when the time comes, I'll just jump into it and I'll make it work. I don't have time right now. No, that's not how it works. You get your pistol belt, eight suspenders, your assault vest, whatever it is you're going to put together, and you tune it to your body. You also tune it seasonally because remember, we're going into the summer. It's going to be hotter now or you're going to be wearing less clothing probably. However, You gotta remember, you still take some of your thermal gear along and you're gonna be carrying a field jacket or a cold weather jacket of some kind simply because it gets chilly at night. The air doesn't stay as warm in the evening. Now you might have a soft wind, you know, that's lush and blowing off the savannah or the prairie or... But there's those days when all of a sudden you thought it was going to be nice all through the evening, the wind shifts out of the north, it comes across the lake, picks up all that cool, moist air, and guess what? You got yourself some discomfort in there. You've got to keep that as part of the formula when it comes to your combat load, okay? And again, March Basic Rule. Put a couple of basic items, set along, Johns. your field jacket liner, okay? Your commando sweater. Always carry them with you. Why? If you don't need them, fine. They make a nice pillow when you're on the ground, okay, whatever. But if you do need them, they're priceless, and they help to reduce your discomfort level. Now, again about magazines and of course combat load. I said 22 mags. Now, if you want to carry more, you carry more. Now, it's purely a matter of what you're capable of and what you're physically able to endure. That's another issue. Are you mechanized troops? Are you going in, as we said, heavy, but you're going to be making contact? You know you're going to be part of a fighting unit? If you're a fighting unit, guys, you always go in heavy. You go in carrying extra of everything that you can that you know you're going to be paris, that's perishable. In other words, you're going to be expending right away. That doesn't mean necessarily food. We're talking ammunition, pyrotechnics, that kind of stuff. Because you're going to lose it. First of all, you're going to use it or you lose it. And either way, you're going to have to make sure you have backups and spares. With regard to technology support, one of the other areas, your spare parts, pieces and assemblies, mostly your smaller items. You have to incorporate that into your combat load and factor it in accordingly. Another thing, fluid weight. What's that? Well, we ain't talking about having to use the bathroom. Well, that happens later. We're talking about a pint is a pound the world around. and you're gonna have to carry water so don't just stand there with those empty canteens and go chinkachinkachinkachinkachink as you jump up and down and go yeah it fits okay yeah everything feels good well load the canteens up There are two reasons. It's going to change your center of balance. It's going to change your overall formula, which by the way with your weights and counterweights, you have loaded mags to the front, you have your perishable food and some of your mags and ammunition to the rear. But that helps to balance out and keep your center of balance a little better. Okay. But the other thing is, remember a pint is a pound. The world around. So if you've got a couple of quarts worth of water in a camel pack or you decide to go with canteens, my preference is canteens. I think the camel packs are cool, but they're a throwaway thing because the canteens, again, disperse your water over several different points. You take a bullet, but it doesn't hit you, it just hits your equipment. You only lose a quart of water. You take a hit to the camel pack outside of your body armor and Guess what you might lose pretty much everything you've got in the way of water which keeps you functional So you want to disperse your water weight accordingly now in combat weight? Here's another consideration somebody's gonna say well I'm an older person those candines are kind of heavy now candines were built heavy for a reason Because on the battlefield you have all kinds of detritus and debris stuff hits it, it gets beat on, heavy stuff gets dropped on it, that kind of thing, like when your web gear's in a truck or you're in an APC or you're just bouncing around on a battlefield. If you have to, you can lighten up your combat weight by going to the lighter water containers that are out there now in every shape and form you can think of. But remember, always remember Mark told you this they're not as durable something takes a hit takes a poke or something sharp you're gonna wonder wow my kidneys are a little wet right now and I don't mean on the inside oh wait a minute oh my legs wet too oh man the canteen finally wore out my little plastic water bottle that I got from the store that one that the water came in they can be whatever name brand you can carry it but remember it's not designed for a whole lot of flexing Okay, it's not like your military equipment all your military equipment out of everybody you always see these joking machines How many do watch these really goofy ads where they have like the girdle stretcher? You know, gee gee gee gee Well, they really do have that. Okay, the military does something similar for the same reason Example how many people and this this has nothing to do with firearms, but everything to do with keeping you alive The standard MRE pouch Was designed to take so many tens of thousands of flexes before failing Why? Because a lot of guys take the MRE pouch, put it in their pant leg pocket or in their fuel jacket pocket, and it has to be able to bounce around and take up a lot of abuse without compromising and you smelling like spaghetti and meatballs going through the woods in the middle of the night, which kind of is noticeable if somebody's looking for you. Okay? Plus, you want to be able to eat the food later, not wear it. So anyway, this is the intel report.

Ladies and gentlemen, last leg here, the last quarter of the program and for all of you listening, we got Kelly in Texas and we got Bill in Texas. I'll tell you what, let's get into our callers. Got Kelly from Texas. Jump in there, please. Five radio. Kelly, are you there? We got you. Go right ahead, sir. How much me and my wife appreciate your brought your brought it on WPLN. I just wish it was two hours still. Can I get the first out of public pay for your broadcasting network? Yes, as a matter of fact, we're on libertytreeradio.4mg.com or PBN and you go to the video link, or I mean I'm crushing the kick mark in my head there, go to the audio link that way and pick us up through the LTR site. Is it archived? Yes, we are archived, but we do it a little differently because it's how we kind of help to keep the little network going and that actually is covered on the LTR site if you go through it. Okay, and I'd like to say how much I appreciate the YouTube videos. Also, you're going to be on shortwave later tonight if my life stops at taking. Well, we're working on shortwave right now. I don't think I'm going to be on shortwave this evening, but I better double check my schedule again. You could think you called and reminded me of that. But we're not on shortwave for the 8 o'clock. No, not yet. We're working on shortwave time. It becomes a bit of an issue because there's only so many transmitters that are left that are running on a regular basis. pick a niche which means I might end up even doing another hour not that I need to but might have to do another hour simply because we're going to be able to hit a certain hour on shortwave but it'll be separate from everything else. Yeah you might check with WBCE possibly maybe they got some good rates. Yes. Well we'll let you go and we'll let you get to the other caller but thank you for your broadcast. Appreciate it Kelly thank you. We have Bill from Texas jumping their Bill Groyd ahead. Well, I also say I like to say I enjoy your show, but that's not what I call it. I was just curious, what would you say would be the most inexpensive rifle barrel to get to play around with? That's just inexpensive, but there's a lot of them around. Just the barrel. Just the barrel. Well, I'll tell you what, Gun Parts Company is a company, but it used to be, it's old numeric arms. Gun Parts Company has a hundred different barrels out there right now to play with. Now as far as, and I mean like where you know they do, they have barrels for weapons that have been discontinued 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 50 years ago, and they have barrel blanks in 30 caliber, 8 millimeter, mostly in 30 caliber because everybody was focusing on 30 caliber after World War II. As far as just something to shoot, you know, to put together. Obviously there are a number of different 308 barrels out there right now that are aftermarket that are laying around the 30, the 7.62x39 barrels. I would say in the past would have been the cheapest but what's happened is because the the Batfaggots are telling everybody to cut the barrels on the kits now all the extra barrels that were laying around for that are going into the kits because they've got to have barrels to put on the rifles. The next option would be maybe and you have to look around either 7.62x54 chambered barrels in the way of spares might be available in everything from a bore condition would be say gray or black or brown to brand new sterling, you know, shining like they came out of the factory. So the 7.62x54, now again those are 30 caliber barrels. The other option is maybe some Mauser barrels laying around. So that's an option too. K98 in mixed types can be 8 millimeter, some might even be 7 millimeter, and also in 30 caliber because there were some 308 barrels made for the Mausers over a period of years by a number of different countries. Are you looking at doing a rifle project like doing a receiver project? up to you before about air rifles and I just wanted at least barrel to start playing with. Then I would yeah there were again the 30 caliber would be your best bet because there are more projectiles and the advantages the discarding Sabo now if you go 40 caliber or 40 actually there's an oddball 40 caliber is out there and there are some barrel blanks available from different companies but go to gun parts company I don't know if they have a website yet or not. They're an old traditional company. They've got a massive number of warehouses. They've got stuff stacked like cordwood. And they have extra barrels of many, many different types. .30 caliber is nice because you can get discarding, say, both .30 caliber cups and use the .223 bullet with the air rifle system. This allows for a uniform or consistent seal and again brings down the weight but brings up the velocity, actually low pressure high velocity combination. The other option is they also have shotgun barrels, many different types. Now the 20 gauge would be your best choice that would keep your bore dimension down and for the air rifle system one of the advantages of shotgun barrel blanks is that there's a lot of meat to work with. And some shotgun barrel blanks were never machined to a particular weapon. In other words, they're a straight tube, they're thick walled, and they give you a lot of material to work with if you want to thread it to a system. So that's another option. That's another direction to go. And just as a hint, if you buy some of these little MP3 players that are been discontinued or on sale. Oh, yes. I picked up one for $9, and I got 300 of your shows on it. I usually film while I drive. I usually get about four shows in a day. That's excellent. No, actually that's a good idea because there are a lot of systems, you know, we don't think about it, but it's just like CD. CD is 30 some years old this year. Stick players like the MP3 and all of that nature are actually over more than a decade old. I mean, they're actually up in, they're heading towards the 18 year mark with the first models that I saw. So they're, that's a good idea. There's a, that's a solution. They're inexpensive and off the shelf. We're waiting for them to show up at the dollar store. That will be next, right? Pretty much. I'll be able to pull this archive off and get all the info you gave me because I'm sitting here in my car. Very good. Now the thing about it is with the barrels, Gun Parts Company, there's also a number of different bulk companies that are around the country that specialize they sometimes have niches of stuff paragon sales out of chicago used to be really good for that and we were looking for barrels they usually had piles of stuff off to the side that if you asked about it they'd let you know So, you want to check in the shotgun news with some of these companies that are listed and just say, hey, what do you got in the way of, say, a bunch of odd barrels or something that might be flawed that you're not going to use them for the original application? You just want them for a research or a test project. You'd be amazed what they might have sitting on the shelf. And what company did you say was the one that was big for making those air rifles at the turn of the century? Oh, it was the Austrians actually that did the air rifles. Back in the 1800s or you're talking about the newer ones? The late 1800s, early 1900s. Well, Squire Bingham was one of them. Bingham made their name on air rifles and also on other unique weapons systems. They did a really fine job, always were known for very, very high quality. And of course that overlaps with going right back through to the 1800s where we're looking at air rifles that were precision firearms manufactured in mass. It should be noted Lewis and Clark carried two air rifles with them during their expedition that were game getters and they eventually traded them off to the Indians while during their travels. So hopefully we gave you some ideas there I think. Uh oh, I think we might have... We may have lost Bill temporarily, but that's okay. We're getting towards the top of the hour. Thank you, Bill. And thank you, Kelly. Again, the idea we, one of the things to remember about alternate systems is the way things are, the way things are right now, the reason they're like that is not necessarily because of common sense or practical application. It was purely a matter of it's convenient for industries or for people who are in positions of, on the other hand, There are the other issues that are tied in with firearms. We might mention this as I've said before Napoleon's rules actually still apply to the rules of war today and it goes all the way back to the peninsula campaign and air rifles the Spanish waged an effective guerrilla war using air rifles against the Napoleonic armies that had invaded Spain so much so that it became a Mandatory death sentence if a person was captured with one of these rifles What does that tell you about the effectiveness of the weapon? No flash, no noise, and again, can be reloaded several times off one air canister. Look at the modern technology we have today. Take a look at the metallurgy. And again, CNC machining means that anything or everything you could think of could possibly be made. Now, I still would keep the barrel fairly long. I want to get all the energy out of the propellant charge of gas that I have, which is air in this case. The other option is to use nitrogen. With nitrogen, the only consideration I've ever thought of is if you want with a semi-automatic system, you would have to actually consider ice buildup. In other words, just reverse. The only good thing is, remember, you're just starting SABO, works as a scraping system, so it actually would clear the barrel as the ice build takes place in limited form. So, just little things to think about engineering-wise. These are ideas we've had for 30 and 40 years and have been developing progressively. And we're going to continue to develop it. Yeah, Sir Brady can stick it up her hind end too. Well, we're at the top of the hour. Thank you for listening. Remember, Liberty Tree Radio and We the People Radio Network continue to broadcast. Lots of good programming coming up here. 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, well-armed, we will maintain our liberty and support our freedom. Thank you and good evening. We'll see you. We'll be here 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.
