I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked him 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 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 harass 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'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 in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample 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, dill the land of the free? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. South, southwest 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 Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg.com. Also on AM and FM major stations, AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi. Ladies and gentlemen, today is Weapons Wednesday, and we've covered a number of subjects today, but mostly again talking about support technologies with a weapons system. And that includes everything from the camouflage choice, which I will repeat again, you are not in Iraq, you are not in Iraq, you are not in Iraq. Now I know there's some cool stuff that's out there, but the desert colors, unless you're absolutely in a savannah tan environment, aren't working very well for most of the other situations. So they do look cool, and in the movies they're trying to do the Iraq thing, but I'm sorry, we're not in Iraq, we're in the United States. This is a temperate environment. We have 48 continental states, Alaska and Hawaii. With that being the case, we have a wide environmental change that takes place called, well, it's the seasons. You know, spring, summer, fall, winter. Here in Michigan, we're looking at lush tropical right now. You don't see a whole lot of savannah tan anything. Or for that matter, black. That's another bad choice for the most part. Limited in some, with some black coloration is okay or with some tan, limited amount. uh... and again and not the whole kit not everything even if you do limited amount all giving example even in a sense in a ten environment uh... in the uh... ambush be that we did an equipping arms are for you me out and you to go to uh... liberty tree radio then go to you go to uh... are you to blink to our video page and watch the video ambush you will note that one man is carrying a set or he's wearing a set not caring for give me he's wearing a set of desert combat boots now by the way those are airborne combat boots from the expeditionary slash u n keeping forces that we had the sinai now they're good boots they were great boots very well built very nicely made uh... better than the stuff they make today and most the junk that's being produced i mean as far as the china junk that they've been you forcing in our troops And it's interesting that if you watch the video, the subdued normal darker colors actually blend in pretty well, but those boots actually, it's like, wow, they're even in a sandy, gravelly environment, out to a degree. And it's just footwear. Even talking, wearing it all over your floor. It's nice if you were going to be in Iraq, fine, it's for the theater of operation. But otherwise, you need to look at the area of operation that you're working in, that you're militia that's in, and don't buy into whatever is the latest Azure BS being generated for selling what the Israelis want to dump on us or whatever. Instead, take a look at what's going to work for your troops in your environment and you have seasonal changes. Now, example, we've experimented here and I've used for years the five color chocolate chip desert pattern combined with older, tight 50s series camouflage to make up a pretty decent mix for the brownout season going into winter here in Michigan. We've used that and it's been videotaped several different times and a lot of people are going, well, where are the guys? Well, we use French, what's called French lizard pattern, the American five-color chocolate chip desert pattern combined with 50s series reversible camouflage pattern. The only surviving variant on that that you see that most of the troops got was the helmet covers which have the leaf oak leaf pattern on one side in fall, summer pattern on the other side. Oh yeah, we made the whole uniform by the way guys top to bottom in that gear. I've got most of it I just don't have every piece but I've got a good portion of it in that is reversible. They even made the uniforms. The problem is the troops never got it. It got saved and protected and they didn't issue it out because it cost money. And so most of the troops never saw this equipment. Example, they made shoulder quarters, standard pup-dense shelter quarters that were done with camouflage fall on one side, camouflage lush on the other, just exactly like you saw on the helmet covers from the Vietnam era. Except they weren't just from the Vietnam era, they actually go back to the 50s. So, case in point, just an example, you want to use the proper colors with your equipment and you want to pick and choose accordingly. Now here's another challenge. Well, this is hard for some people, but you buy that $300, $400, or $500 AK or whatever. Okay, you may not have to do it yet, but to make your weapon blend in, eventually you're going to want to probably break out a nice can of spray paint, a couple colors that match your environmental condition. and you cover the whole weapon so it blends in that much better. Huh? Yeah, that's basically how it works. Now here's the thing. Most of your British Enfields are painted. A lot of people may not have noticed this. There are some beautiful SMLEs that are blue. Number 1 mark 3s as opposed to the British Enfield number 4 mark 1s. But the number 4 mark 1s almost all were painted except for the ones made in the United States which were parkerized. okay those are made by savage arms and two other country to other companies produce them in the u.s. for the brits as contract rifles lindley's anyway the brits painted pretty much everything well what it looked like he got shipped too much guess what they broke out the paint we paid him again they even actually were some of the for the first countries to actually paint their firearms the color of the theater that they were in I've had British Enfields that were painted and had 14 or 15 layers by the way and you take off a layer of black and you find there was a layer of earth or you'd follow another layer and it'd be black again you take off another layer and lo and behold it'd be tropical green. Hey, not a bad idea. Well again, you can do that in the same situation here. It means that your pretty finish is going to change. But here's the thing, it's a working tool. It's a weapon system. It's designed to keep you alive. But it also, you can't have it standing out. And working parts have a tendency to catch things when you attach them to them. It doesn't mean you can't use snow covers on occasion or that you don't use other types of dust cover slash camouflage covers because people do that for sniper application. or to conceal the weapon in general. But we'll go back to an old school issue that took place back during the campaigns in South Africa, South West Africa, etc. A lot of the troops, South African and Rhodesian, when they were in the field, had a tendency to carry their weapons horizontally perpendicular to their body, horizontal, you know, with the land, the terrain. It turned out that a lot of these troops, even though they were meticulously camouflaged, oh, their faces were, their uniforms were, that they were spotted long before they should have been in the field. Well, it turns out upon interrogation, they said, well, the reason we could see you is because of your incredibly black weapons of non-natural color in the environment that they were in with all the savannah tans and earth brown tones. So what's the next thing that they learned to do real quick? Camouflage the weapons too. Now I know this is especially hard because as you know, an FNFL ain't cheap nowadays. And a really nice look at HK91 original at $2,300, $4,000, $5,000, $6,000, well you're probably not going to break the can of paint out on that yet. However, as part of your on the shelf inventory, one of the things to consider is having a variety of different paints on the shelf. Now remember, paints get old, aerosols sometimes leak. So it might be a good idea every once in a while to use your paint and then replace it and put more on the shelf. Go for the cheap stuff. It doesn't have to be the most expensive. It just has to color the weapon to change the overall silhouette. You be creative. You do the research. You can see that there's a lot of coding systems that are out there and done right now. It can be done with a combination of spray paint and hand painting. It can be done using leaf patterns. It's purely a matter of the environmental condition, your general application, what you plan on doing with the weapon. But I will tell you this, test what you've done. Now, the best way to do that, camouflage and put your kit together, all your gear the way it's supposed to be. If you're going to camouflage a weapon and it's a field grade weapon, say the finish is already a little rough anyway. then go ahead and camouflage accordingly, take it out and film it. That's right, take your old camera, your VHS camera, your digital camera, or your phone camera, get out there and deploy, and then photograph the thing, and then put it on a television screen. Now, the important thing is this, here's a test we've done before. Don't look at it yourself. Have somebody else look at it. Check these pictures out. See if you can spot anything strange, exotic, or unusual there. What do you think about them? And what you want to do is see a person who's not really going to be trying to avoid okay or trying to keep the, shall we say, the photographer happy, what you do is ask them for a critique. Now if they can point right at something and identify what something is, then you have to think, well how can I change this or what can I do to alter that because obviously here's a person who's not really trained but who identified the object in question. You've got to be prepared to deal with that. Okay, now when that happens, you adjust your colors, you improve your design accordingly. But especially when painting the weapon, remember that you may also just want to go with what's called a breakup pattern, in other words, light, dark, light, dark. Something in a lighter brown, something in a darker green, and it may be a middle color. This breaks up the overall silhouette so you don't have this long tubular object with a stock attached to it that jumps out at everybody when they see it. Okay? because disruption in color changes perception, especially when it's a large block. Most people think you gotta go micro-find. That's not necessarily true. Large block format splotch systems work just as well because remember, you're trying to change the perception of the lines of the object so that it doesn't relate to what the brain has registered on file. This is very critical. It will buy you the few nanoseconds that you need to get the first shot off accurately so that you get them before they get you. Okay, that's the concept here. No, it's not going to be perfect and there's no camouflage. There's nothing you can do that's going to be perfect for every environment if you're going to try and go with one system. So you've got to be, you know, again, looking at what variant will work through more of the environmental conditions that I experienced. And this is critical to your overall weapon systems and overall battlefield survivability. Now I will say again, I understand, but don't have to tell me, Mark, they just spent $3,000 on this rifle and it's a collector's eye. I know that. It probably is. Most of the, most rifles are. Not even saying to bother doing this with your grand, though some people have, or a lot of your weapons that are more expensive. And again, for the moment, train with them as is, but be ready to improvise and upgrade or to change accordingly. When your life depends on it, $3 or $4 worth of spray paint is going to be worth the idea that it prevents somebody else from seeing you first. Okay, and you won't think twice about it because again, when the time comes, we can fix them up and clean them up a little bit and make them look nice. And part of the task after we've won the war with that fine rifle that you had is that it has a bit of history as part of new Americana history, once everything's said and done, and that'll put more value on that rifle. Okay, so grandpa's guns worth something right now, it'll be worth a lot more later. In fact, it'll keep you alive. This is the intel report, we're gonna go to our first break, second hour of the intel report, weapons Wednesday.

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.

This is the Intel report live. And it's Weapons Wednesday real quick. Another thing about magazines is I know that a lot of guys like pasty mags. And again, there's no arguing what somebody would just purchase. But do consider the fact that with regard to militia, again, we want to get as low as we can to the ground. We want to take advantage of all the cover that we can. High capacity mags serve a certain purpose for rear guard operations. I won't call it desperation fire, but in a situation where you have multiple targets and you have to suppress an area, larger capacity mags or preferably military type drums, very handy. You don't have to carry a lot of them. However, for instance, with the squad automatic rifleman using the RPK, the long barrel AK system with bipod, traditionally they carry both the drums, 75 round for the most European and for the Chinese, 100 round with some Chinese units. It was purely preferential and was the flavor of the day for theory and operations. Another thing for the RPK, which you see this through a number of different systems, a number of different companies. is that they made 40-round mags which were predominantly carried by the RPK crewmen so we'd have more firepower. Now, the disadvantage of longer mags is that they stick out both of the weapon a tad farther, so they, and also again the very nature of the bipod that had to be developed for the RPK, gave it a little more height off the ground to compensate because of the stick mags that were used, the 40-rounders which were first choice and most common. The advantage of the 75 round drums is really they didn't have any more length than a standard ak-74 ak-47 30 round mag So the drums are an advantage the biggest disadvantage is cost now back in the day not too far back You could buy drum mags and we tried to get everybody to do it 75 round mags $19.95 all day. Well now multiply that by 10. Well actually need by six to the bottom of twenty dollars a man is what you're looking at now okay that's the difference in other words you could about six mags for the price of what one is today or drums go forgive me now little thing we pointed out in this is an equipping part two and uh... we do have many from militia manufacturing all over the country it's been small it's different groups organizations or units and here in michigan we have several different people that are doing significant work and have little operational factories in place to put together gear, for instance. One of them was the Chikom, a copy, a knockoff of the Chikom chest pouch, but instead of the middle pocket being another 30 round mag pouch, it's actually designed for the standard 75 round drum. Now somebody made a stupid comment about, well you know, you know, having it up front if you get hit, the animal explodes. Okay, well we've mentioned this many times before and you got to think about the configuration of the drum. The first rule is you don't put primers forward. Now that sounds strange except that, remember, primers forward or out means that something can impact even your own your own bullet will detonate and then of course might even perforate you and it'd be a very embarrassing state of affairs. However, I'm going to point something out that we've explained over and over again in classes and I will repeat over and over again on the air. You even have to take this into consideration with your magazines in your mag pouches. Yes, that's true. This was something that was learned and part of the special forces that I've got an original copy of this that I got back in the what, 74, 75. Okay. Back when I was in my first one in the military. Okay. And the little special forces tricks of the trade manual that was issued to us, one of the things that was pointed out is whenever you drop your mags into your mag pouches with the AR, with the AK, the M14 used the slab side system. But the point is that you always make sure no matter what that the primers are in towards the body, bullets to the outside because even a piece of fragmentation could snap, pop a cap, and you end up with a bullet and it was from your own mag. uh... the thing about the chest pouches same situation is your mags there in the a k mags are laying sideways okay now there's less likely that is going to be a problem there but i'm not really looking at the primers can be up somewhere and i'm guys this is not something that happens every day contrary to hollywood like exploding cars when you shoot at once and they look like a nuclear device going off which means karzma spioff we are they're awfully unsafe The magazines, if they're properly oriented, it's a safety issue that you use as part of your mental process of things to remember. With a drum for the drum pouch, first of all, we went with a Kevlar panel behind the chest pouch itself. This is made up of 27 layers of standard Kevlar, basically it's a thread level two vest over top of whatever else you already got. If you got another vest on, gee, you got more armor. On top of that, the drum sits with the primers to the rear, the bullets to the front. But it allows for another way to carry the drums, which otherwise doesn't exist. And if we're carrying the drums, you want them, or if you can pick up one item, let's say I hand out a chest pouch. And I've got a squad automatic rifleman that's designated. Or if your unit all carries drums, which a lot of our units do, they carry one drum per man. Well then, that's the place to carry it, and you're carrying one piece of web gear. A lot of units want to go with a white rig. They'll carry the chest pouch and a few other items, and that's for immediate response in garrison operations. I explained this in equipping for the New World Order Part 1 with regard to the use of like the CHI-COM chest pouches or the light load-bearing equipment for garrison duty. I mean garrison duty is like when you're encamped or you're in a facility or a site, always want to be armed up but you're not going into the field. It's simply for security and protection, you know, protection details. The chest pouches are perfect for this, okay? Now. For all the comments made, no matter where you put the ammunition on your hind end, there's a possibility of it getting shot. Okay? That's just simply like I've said a million times. Mags get shot. Ammo gets shot. Webgears get shot. Rifles get shot. And worst of all, people get shot. Okay? That's just how it works. They get hit with fragmentation, they get hit with projectiles, they fall, they drop, they bounce, they boop. Okay? Now, another thing about ammunition, I'm sorry, these goofs that we've got that are these ultra liberals, oh my god, it's... It's a cartridge, you're gonna explode! Anytime some fool does that, turn around and slap them side to head. Okay, I'm getting tired of stupid people there, okay? I have never had, and I'm gonna tell ya, I have handled, and this is not an exaggeration, I literally have personally handled millions of rounds. I mean, I don't know how much ammunition the government gave me to shoot, well I do, approximately. Hell, I could fire three to five hundred rounds a day in 1911 ammo when I was a competition shooter with the army. In fact, they were desperately trying to hand out ammunition left and right in .308 and in .223, 9mm. Actually, also .38 special because I had a Smith competition piece that I used. But as far as .45 ammo goes, they desperately tried to hand out up to half a million rounds at many of the competitions just to make sure it got used because it was already signed down to the books for use by the troops, by the shooters, competition shooters. I've handled millions around. I have never seen an accidental impact detonation slash bang fire from dropping a cartridge on the ground. Okay? Ever. Ever. Okay? Considering how much we've handled these things, they're probably one of the most, the safest, you know, instruments that you could imagine, more so than a lot of other junk people handle every day. How many of you have been cut with steak knives? all just reach in the door get a nice pokey out of it i've never had that happen with the cartridge okay that's the you know that that gives you an example of paranoia through conditioning in the boom tube in the dimwits we have that have latched onto this stuff that holly weird is generated okay Now, the point is, that still means you take precautions. And again, the reason that these little tips of the trade, you know, these tricks of the trade, things were put together, is because they have seen certain things happen. So think the process through. But this chess pouch we're talking about, several of the units have helped in the production of these for a number of years. They're a standard issue item with many of the Colonial Marine units. There are all other variations on it now. That's a chess pouch system, but here's the thing, a lot of you have bought, for instance, the larger, 100-round Chinese drums. Oh yeah, that's right. However, try to find a magazine pouch that fits those. Uh-oh. Let me give you a little hint, guys. How about a two-quart canteen cover? The old Vietnam era up to present day, two-quart flexible canteen cover, a 100-round drum fits perfectly inside that, made out of nylon, quick release closure, works just fine, fits on your standard belt or goes on your backpack, and has a shoulder strap to help carry the weight because it's going to get heavy with 100 rounds in it.

I know sometimes this happens, our engineer is busy or somebody may or may not be able to hear us. We got you going right ahead. How are you doing Mark? Oh pretty good. Good. I just wanted to call in and maybe ran a little bit and say people get up and get moving. What are you waiting for? All I hear is excuse after excuse after excuse about why people are not growing some of their own food. There's no reason initially. Right now, don't wait, don't hesitate. This is the spring. This is the spring of the nation. There is no excuse not to have a garden in place this year. Exactly. And even if you don't have a big yard or anything, there are so many things you can plant. You can take an old laundry basket, fill it up with some dirt, and grow beans. And just keep putting them in there. Squash, lettuce. I have a laundry basket. I'm growing leeks, onions, carrots, and lettuce in. And it's just, you know. It's purely a matter of getting up like you said, getting out, finding... In fact, even if need be, by the way, dirt is free. Exactly. You know, it's not like you gotta go out and buy it. Okay, guys, hit the back roads, watch for a farm field where the farmer may not be paying attention. You might wonder what you're doing with the 5 gallon pail and a shovel, but not long enough, you already got three shovels, you got the pail filled where it needs to be, and you're out of there, okay? And you're watching all the back roads. Okay, so... Exactly. And it's just, even if you don't have a porch or a yard, an old hat, an old boot, you can put dirt in anything and grow something. That's one of the things, people, that it is obvious that just like they did in the 90s, the Clintanistas bragged about it, and that one half-fried. bragged about how she starved the Iraqi kids to death, okay? They're looking at the American people and a whole lot of other populations the same way they're going to use food as a weapon. Definitely. Not as a tool to help, but as a weapon to hurt. And so we need to put Nip that in the bud right now, and everybody can do their part from one direction or another, and overall we'll get the job done. Well, it all fails. A lot of people have relatives out in the country. They can, shall we say, utilize, right? Right. Farms, gardens. In fact, even if you didn't get the garden done complete, so to speak, in other words, well, after a while you got a little lazy, at least your relatives will benefit from it. Well, you know, there can be no compromise in the quest for freedom. And procrastination will lead to your annihilation. The person that's responsible for your survival is the one that looks back at you when you look in the mirror. And you know, excuse after excuse after excuse, well I'll do it tomorrow. What are you going to do when tomorrow you can't get to the store because you can't afford gas? And if you can make it to the store, there's absolutely nothing worth buying on the shelves. Well, that's another thing. I'm already seeing this. Some of the biggest stores that we have, kind of like something somebody mentioned would happen, and it has. There's been comments about this in different storylines. Even the big store lines. We have what we call Meyers, Thrifty Acres. They don't want to use the term Thrifty Acres because he ain't thrifty anymore, okay? Yeah. But it's Meyers, Thrifty Acres. It used to be you could go in there, guys, and the variety. uh... in general it was like they're being like a certain item there would be three four five manufacturers of a certain item you'll notice that that isn't the case anymore Now it's only a matter of time. This is where you're in the pre-Soviet, total Soviet state. Where the next step is, well the one manufacturer who was making it, who got the special doggy treats and got the special pat on the head, all of a sudden somebody's cousin's uncle took over. And guess what? He doesn't have a clue how to run the plant. The factory goes offline. The factory doesn't produce. He uses everybody else as the excuse. And guess what? You don't have any of that product. that's what's going to work that's what's going to happen people are not ready for this yet but it's like this big massive store and he used to be a good one and there was a hundred it was like man this is like a bouquet of products Now it's one item and lots and lots of it from the same single factory the same single plant the same single provider Right and the price is astronomical. Yeah, and now with no competition Yes, there's the other half of it is that the price went through the roof and it's not necessarily something you really need which is another thing everybody's finding out about is that you know you can do without that and that and that and that so now we're into the next step where eventually the factory is either going to close down because of in malfeasance and incompetence and or the product's not going to show up because it's not worth their while to send it to this part of the district slash planet where the time comes. Standing in line for toilet paper is one thing. Standing in line, well, even for the water, so to speak, or the other products that are needed to keep it all running. I mean, first of all, you've got to have something to use the toilet, be a reason to use the toilet paper. If there ain't no food, toilet paper is a good thing. the paper doesn't have a whole lot of you. Exactly. The other thing that I'm seeing a lot of is that with the increasing prices of gasoline that more and more places are really amping up on the trading your guns for cash or for a gas card. Well, you know, in a few months, I wouldn't be surprised to see a trade in your guns for a food voucher. A bowl of gruel. Like I said yesterday, a bowl of gruel. well they're not even a good food voucher will be for whatever pumpkin junk they decide to throw in there it was bad enough when it was the chinese tennis shoes all up you're gonna get this voucher for you know to go get some tissues yeah two dollars and thirty four cents would it cost make a man korea and if it joke whatever it is a dual in here all but there we box or there there's a sort of that whatever it is for the flavor of the day shoe What difference will that make? Tomorrow they won't be of any use because, well that flavor of shoe will be out of style and you'll have to buy another $2.35 pair of shoes. Oops. And the other thing is, you know, I hear a lot of people talking about, well, they've ordered food, you know, from all over these different places. That's great. What are you going to do when you can't order it anymore? Is that what you're relying on for your survival? You need to get accustomed. You need to understand what grows native to your area, what its uses are. Exactly. Now by the way, you, uh, website, go ahead and get everybody out. You guys have some pretty cool stuff out there. Well, thank you. It's www.offthegridgirl. Go ahead and give it out a couple more times so those people are scrambling for their pens. Okay, it's www.offthegridgirl. Now again, we get a chance here because food, as I've said, is a weapon. People say, well, why am I talking about food on Weapons Wednesday? Because food is a weapon. Definitely. One of the things to remember is also, armies travel on their stomachs. People do too. Whole populations do. I'm a marine brat and my daddy raised me with the theory, the thought, you know, the motto, never piss off the cook. That's right. Death from within is far worse from death than death from out. You never know what you're going to get fed, you know. Exactly. as this. Oh, all of a sudden they actually have flavor for a few days. Many kind of forget, you know, go back there well, you know, more water, less Kool-Aid. And they don't throw in any mice in the barracks anymore. Oh, we're having shish kabobs for supper. That's right. Roasted mice, actually. Put them on a little stick. It's an Indian recipe. We have that here, by the way. We're going to have to post that up on our website one of these days. That'd be cool. So we have a pan-fried possum up on our website. Well, that's not bad, actually. It's not bad at all. Don't forget. Don't forget the possum gravy that goes with it. That takes care of the biscuits. Roadkill stew, that's a good thing. I can't be doing that, trust me. You'd be surprised at what you will eat when you are hungry. People will be surprised at what a lot of other people will do when they are hungry. That's one of the other things that again the whole idea of you'll trade your weapon in for a bowl of gruel but later on you need your weapon. So again, we need to make sure that we are squared away with our food and food support. Now, another thing there that ties in with what I touched on about the equipping one to videos that I did because there's somebody made some comment about where you're carrying all this stuff. We don't have a coolie behind us carrying our gear and there's no helicopter coming up from behind with a resupply drop. OK, so we go in heavy and I'm going in heavy means you don't there's if there's a place to stuff something you get stuff to get every pocket. every pouch in your gear, every square inch that you can in your backpack because you're not going to be seeing someone else dropping it for you. Now, ammunition and ammunition, you know, magazine support, all that is priority first. But food is the other issue for that very reason because you got to keep the troops, you got to keep the troops, calorie support up all while they're in the field and water tied in with that. Whole armies have lost wars because of lack of food and lack of water at key points. We'll make sure it doesn't happen. Courtney, stay right there if you want. Okay. Okay. We'll be back in about three minutes here, last break on We The People Radio Network. of the 3 million plus edible food plants that grow on earth.

Anything else? No, it's basically just, you know, people awaken the American spirit within yourself. Get up and get moving. Every seed you plant, everything you harvest to eat yourself is a slap in the face of the NWO. Exactly. In fact, that's the most important thing is the solution is local. The solution is tactical. The solution of each one of us doing our part to get the overall job done because it's not going to happen from above. It's not going to drop in as some silver bullet. It's going to be the work and the effort of everybody listening right now to pitch in together to get the job done. Exactly. And, you know, I remember way back in coming up through the 90s when the big part of the movement was survivalism. And we all need to get back to that. Well again, I think that's what a lot of people are asking. I have a massive amount, I mean that is really a big chunk of even locally here what people are asking about. I said, well you know here's the first thing, the reason I did Equipping 102 was simply that it so I wouldn't have to repeat too many things and then focus on detail. But there's a lot of other good information out there. There's people who did phenomenal work and there's no reason to reinvent the wheel. The thing is to spread the information we have. so that people get hold of it because there are so many people right now that are awake. The most common comment made for every person they run into that knows about these programs and the information, there's another person and just as many in numbers didn't have any idea what was going on, how all this other stuff was out there. They just knew that something was wrong and they started to move in the right direction. We need to connect these people so they know where to look, know how to find the information they need, and that way we can streamline their process to come up to another tier to move to the next level. Exactly. Okay, I'll take it one more time to see and the website to go to is? www.offthegridcurls.com. Excellent, thank you, Courtney. Alright, thanks a lot, Mark. Have a good night. We have George and we have Jake. George, we're going to get everybody up here, so George, jump in there first, please. There's no excuse why people can like I'm still I'm still making planners all those old folder coffee cans Exactly. I meant I cut them in half and I glue the bottom of the lid on the bottom and I got two plants and I'm going peas in them And like I was saying, green peppers. And I'm just finding out what spices I need to grow. Remember, if you do a broad section, find out what works in your area. And then from the next season, you'll know what to move towards and what to avoid if it looks like it's not really going to produce. Well, I would think about starting up a website, because there's some foods I would like to get that geographically do not grow in Florida. And it's all like barter. Yes, that is what we've been doing in the past like Courtney brought up that was one of the things that was set up by a bunch of men and women through the 90s. I don't know if it's still in place, but that's what people were doing is taking advantage of overages in one area by individuals and then getting together. We dry pack, okay? We actually have a one gallon canner that re-rims the holding yards. It's manual. It's not the electric model. If you got the money you buy the electric. and we can can medical supplies, we can clothing items, we can administrative support equipment, I make up different B-type units, but we also dry pack all kinds of food. Anything that's dry that can go into the cans. Once it's dehydrated, once it's been turned to jerky, once it's been, you know, if it's like beans, peas, corn, whatever, that can go into the cans, it gets sealed, and it's ready for storage right there, boom. Where can I go for finding stuff to can food with? With sight. For the canning stuff, one of the places to go is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They've got all kinds of storage support information available. You can go to a lot of the Amish, even though the Amish don't use sites themselves. There's people that have the support equipment there. But the Amish supply depots and such are hardware stores. The technology on the shelf, in fact, our manual canner came from one of the Amish stores in the northern part of Indiana. because they do all of their own canning, they do dry packing but they obviously also do wet packing. Even Mason or Mason Jar Company offers information both through the web and they have a lot of written information. I always watch for yard sales. I just picked up an entire little library from some grandmother who probably retired, went south or passed away and it was all of her canning information from the 50s. Now people go, well, would there be no? Nothing's changed. In fact, remember this, they were closer to other technologies and techniques that we don't use now. Now we don't use them because we got plastics and things like that. But remember that times change also for us and the plastics may not be available. So knowing how to use these other techniques, such as, you know, wax and paraffin or beeswax is critical to our overall survival. have tiers of support technology on the shelf. If it's written in the air, it's not going to hurt anybody, and it's great to have nothing else for historical purposes, but it's more than that. It's the stuff you need to get the job done. Yeah, this is a good thing. Also, too, I'm hearing like with the fuels, I'm hearing people starting to steal gas out of people's gas tank. Oh, yeah, that's nuts. That's only a matter of time. Remember back in the 70s George and a lot of the people might remember this. Like I said, two semi trucks, they'd pull up to a side by side, one on each side of another truck. They'd have speed pumps. They would literally just drop a hose right in the guy's tank. In about three to seven minutes they'd have every drop of diesel that was in his saddle tanks and they'd be heading down the road. And I can see that happening with cars the same way. I mean, just as quickly. You're going to have to watch your fuel cans. People don't think about gas cans laying around. They're not going to be that safe pretty soon as the precious juice starts disappearing. Yeah, and the thing is, we got that robber baron conference up in Virginia. Yes, well, we know what's coming out of that. You know how that's going to work. I just wish somebody in the Pentagon would just go raid the place and go arrest them all. Well, you never know. They hear a hissing sound from above, a last whirl, and poof. And that's all she wrote. Did I say that? No, no. I'm sure the pentagram would never think about, hey maybe there's somebody there that's on our side. You never know. I gotta let you go George, I'm gonna bring you another one last call. We got Jake, waiting in the wings. And Jake from Missouri, we got you there? Go right ahead Jake, you got the time left. The basic rule is you're gonna have to meet with some of the people and feel them out to see how comfortable you are with the idea of working with their organization. True of anybody that's out there. Now again, Like you said, we're already on a list. We're to the point where you're going to have to do some face-to-face work. You're going to have to find out who's who in the zoo. They're feeling the same way about you if they're straightening out on the street, up and up anyway. So this is a mutual situation as far as issues go. Now, here's another consideration. I will repeat again, the fire team and the squad are the basic components of a militia formation. You do not have to necessarily, if you don't feel comfortable with that, jump out and get into the Colonial Marines or get into your state's militia. Five men that you know that are honorable, that you have known for a long time or that you've developed relationships with as friends, you need to look at working at first two men, you and another person you trust, and then finding three other men that are close proximity that are like-minded and building a fire team up. That fire team is the building block of the squad. The squad and the fire team are the building block for all armies. Well, Steve, that's kind of my dilemma there. I have never been in the military, never had any kind of mil... That's not a problem. And I'll repeat what I said at the minute. People are saying, well, if you haven't been in the military, you can't be in the mil... No, that's nonsense. The militia was a freestanding element of people. It is the military. It is the people's military. It is designed so that the artisans, the craftsmen, the tradesmen, every person, as long as Rigamortis has been set in, is a member of. You will learn through on-the-job training, if nothing else. You will build up concepts yourself, and you become more unpredictable than a regular military force. There are all kinds of debates on this, but I'll tell you what, your enemy would like to see a nice neat box with everybody exactly the same. That way it's easier to predict how to defeat us. Okay, the first rule of operations, if it works, then it isn't stupid. In other words, if it's stupid but it works, then it isn't stupid. Always remember that. This is come in and inspect your house, or maybe you know, overuse of extension cords and I stood up and said, that's a pretty silly thing to get shot over. That's right. Exactly. Well, again, they're trying to claim that they don't need a warrant. That's the Soviets talking again. As expected. I tell you what, Jake, if you want to, give us a call again tomorrow. We'll stay on the subject. I will, dude. Appreciate that. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. God bless. We're at the top of the hour. The hour goes very quickly, people. As always, God bless the Republic. Death of the New World Order, we shall prevail. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. God bless and good evening. And remember, offthegridgirls.com. Offthegridgirls.com. Offthegridgirls.com. Go check them out. And thank you. Stay tuned here to We the People Radio Network. We'll be back tomorrow.
