While 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'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 vie 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 live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to torture freedom as I awoke he'd vanished in the midst for whence he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dell the land of the free?

Yeah, oh no, no, no. Climate change. Funny how, you know, when they can't pin it on something, they gotta put on something else. Global cooling, cooling, warming. Global warming, cooling. Well anyway, it is a beautiful day here. It's a blues chill. It got cooler over the night. It was already cool, you know, like comfortable. I got it, I got chilly as we went through which of course is a precursor, it's already off. Why hell, it's August 8th, got us in Surprise Day. And by the way, for our perlisting out there, come on, it is 7.06 in the morning on the west coast there.

At least our fingers are tingling and not from coffee. So we're going to go to the door frame and oh, thank goodness she didn't shut the door and turn right and down the hallway and oh, the lights are on in the kitchen. She's got glow lights that really are bright and this is hurting. Oh, no, there we go. Your wife's over there working in the sink area this morning. Breakfast is already done.

Here we go. It is a beautiful morning and come on us from all. Hey I'm not certain we want to go this morning. but maybe while you're sitting there at the kitchen table you guys, you reach over for that. I'm going to name a name here. I don't generally throw out names, but if you look at this month's car and driver you guys, car buff magazine, oh let's do it like this, car nut magazine, car nuts out there like there's gun nuts, enthusiasts. Well it's this month at the very top, oh there's a cool Corvette on the cover blue, I like that electric blue color. But on page 13, at the very top of Kahn driver in print, it says yellow print, black background, it says, why everybody's wrong about gas prices. Made me want to buy this particular edition and turn to page 13, Mark. If you guys bear with me for a few minutes, Mark, I'll bring this to your verbatim because there's so much good stuff in here, I can't just pick out the dinky little things. There's so much in here that we don't know about what's going on. And I really, uh, uh, Kazbakazee, I'm not certain how to pronounce your name, but I'm trying to give you credit for writing this here right now. And this is the steering column. He does something every month. The subtitle one, Gas Hits 4 Bucks a Gallon, Logic, Research, and Analysis Go AWOL. As this is written on Memorial Day weekend, the price of gasoline has been breaking records every week for the past month exceeding 4 bucks a gallon here in Bucaulik and Arbor, Michigan. Nobody likes to see the price of anything quadruple in 10 years, particularly gas. a substance which we buy about 400 million gallons of every day. Skyrocketing prices particularly galling at a time when the economy is slowing and many people are feeling poorer as their home values are falling. And there's not much most of us can do about it. After all, if the price of peaches suddenly triples, we can buy plums or nectarines more easily than we can save gas by switching to high miles per gallon vehicles or moving closer to our jobs. Predictably, the politicians in Sunday morning gas bags have worked themselves into a lather on this subject, blaming the usual suspects and avoiding realistic action. In early May, for example, President Bush, out of context fearless leader, back to context, traveled hand in hand to Saudi Arabia asking for an increase in oil production. Dumping more crude oil on the market would certainly reduce prices, though I don't know if the Saudis are actually capable of extracting more oil. Why would they want to? Do any farmers in Nebraska sell their corn for $3 a bushel when the market is $4, up from $2 in the past couple of years? Does Tom Cruise cut his $25 million plus per picture fee to make theater tickets more affordable? Rather than asking the Saudis to act against their own interest by pumping more oil, we might consider pumping more ourselves. We know that there's plenty of crude in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, also known as ANWR, in northeastern Alaska. It's not enough to supply our needs forever, but an extra few million barrels would be useful right about now. Yet this drilling has been prohibited because it might somehow harm the environment and its wildlife. I've driven along the Alaskan pipeline from Fairbanks to the oil fields of Purdome Bay. And the operation is clean. Oil is black, snow is white. Leaks are obvious. There aren't any. Yes, it would take a decade to bring the Anwar oil online, but as Jay Leno has pointed out, that's what objectives to pumping this oil were saying 10 years ago. There's plenty of crude oil to be had off the coast of California and Florida, dates that rank first and fourth respectively in population and gas consumption. Such drilling has been banned since an oil spill occurred off Santa Barbara back in Jimi Hendrix's heyday. Meanwhile, the technology used in offshore drilling has improved immensely. During the ravages of Hurricane Katrina, some 113 offshore oil platforms in the Gulf Coast were destroyed. Leakage was minimal, less than 10% of the Exxon Valdez incident. Perhaps it's time to that we brought more oil out of the ground ourselves rather than begging others to do so. There's the demonization of the big oil companies. Some simpletons actually think that the increase in the price of gasoline over the past few years goes directly into the oil company's coffers. That fact is that big American oil companies own relatively little oil in the ground. They have to buy crude on the open market in order to have something that they can refine into gasoline, diesel oil, jet fuel, and all the other oil products. A barrel of crude contains 42 gallons and currently costs about $130. Remember now out of context, remember this was written around Memorial weekend. That means the raw material costs $3.10 a gallon. For finding the oil, getting out of the ground, transporting it to a refinery, turning it into gasoline and distributing that gasoline, ExxonMobil cleared about 58 cents per gallon in 2007. based on the figures in its annual report. Of that 58 cents, Exxon paid about 25 cents in federal income tax. The Feds also collected 18.4 cents in excise tax per gallon. Meanwhile, here in Ann Arbor, the state of Michigan collects 19.875 cents per gallon of excise and environmental taxes, unquote, along with 24 cents of sale tax at $4 a gallon. So ExxonMobil met 33 cents a gallon while our federal and state governments take 87 cents per gallon. Still, that's an excellent profit. So what, Exxon? An American company owned largely by American shareholders employing tens of thousands of American white color and blue color workers at high wages. We need more companies like it to leverage our superior technological expertise and maintain our high living standards. There's also precious little discussion about how the plummeting value of the dollar has affected oil prices. If we go back to the year 2000, the euro was worth 82 cents. Crude was fluctuating at about 30 or 36.5 euros today because our politicians have degraded the value of the dollar by incessant deficit spending and enacting various physically unsupported future programs. The Euro is now appreciated from 82 cents to about $1.60. As a result, while crude has quadrupled in dollars from 30 to 130, it's barely doubled in Euros from 36.5 to 80. Had the dollar only maintained parity with the Euro, crude would cost about $80 a barrel and gas would be less than 3 bucks at the pump. If there's been one benefit of high gasoline prices, at least for environmentalists, it's to motivate Americans to choose fuel efficient vehicles and drive less. Yet many of the same politicians who have argued strongly for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to battle global warming, such as all three remaining presidential candidates, also are trying to reduce the price of gasoline, which will simply encourage Americans to go back to driving more in less efficient vehicles. Out of context, guys, here's the kicker. Let's go back to the very last paragraph. Anything since Congress last week voted to authorize the Justice Department to sue OPEC because the organization declined to increase oil production to help reduce high prices. You guys, if you want your own copy of this, go out to the local magazine store, pharmacy, or whatnot, and pick up, I think it's August, August, Car and Driver. And as mentioned in the front of this article, Mark, this guy drives around down there by you. I wonder if he's been listening to this. The biggest thing about the oil drilling is, and this is my problem with the oil company, this is the only thing, is if the limitations about limitation are all a concern. And remember back when the Alaskan pipeline was drilled, how they did this, where does all of that oil go? It goes to that little company with the white flag and the red dot in the middle. You see the rising sun and the destroyers and then the capital ships. But that's the problem is you know absolutely we if we understand it's funny Yes the guy might actually be listening to our program or using again Ron Paul common sense too because remember this is something Ron Paul did talk about Evaluation of the currency in fact everybody knows it It's kind of like the big old white elephant in the middle of living room while everybody's trying to enjoy tea Oh there goes some more China. I wonder what happened you know the dollar devaluation that expected okay we understood that we warned everybody about that how many times we talked about that back i've been x expounded upon this uh... for of the period from you behind the wire sick guys go out and buy your own Go out and buy euros now. Why? Because the dollar is going to continue to be intentionally devalued by the ring knockers and the bankers. And what's going to happen is you're going to see a flip flop. Well, where the hell can you do anything? I mean, gold and silver the same way. We told everybody. This is a whole bunch of we told you-so's. Number one, silver, $2.30 an ounce. What's that now? Oh, short to short of 20, bouncing around, flirting with $20 is a good one. Yeah, now gold was about 200, well it was about 290 to 310. Where is it at now? It's approaching and been to world records as of late, you know, flirting with $1,000. Well, the euro was actually, it was less than 80 cents, it was actually at about 74 cents on the dollar and then it stabilized about 80 cents for a bit when it jumped. And then it went through Actually, by the time it's done, it doubled. What that really means is that all of our currency was devalued. But look at how it was devalued in different ways. Look at the difference in silver, almost. Let's see, seven times, six times, no, seven times, almost seven times what it was going for before. Little under, six times as closer. Gold, three, now here's the thing. It doesn't add its normal exchange rate to gold, is it? Oh no. historically silver, I mean back to biblical times, historically silver, it took 16 ounces of silver to purchase one ounce of gold. Where is it right now? Now, let's go with it. The euro, of course, is just a currency exchange fast system. But here's the thing about all three of these that people don't think about. When you invest in gold or invest in silver, or even, although it's more transient, paper or other coin currency, and you control it, there is no middle man, there's no stock broker, there's no bond agent, there's no fill in the blank with all these other entities and creatures. When you own gold and silver or you trade in currency, and remember we're not talking, we don't have billions to spend, but we're the little guys. If you do it, there isn't anybody else that gains from it, but you, it's yours. Wow, isn't it cool? See, unlike having to wait for some racketeer, you know, in the insurance package, we promised that as long as the moon and the sun are in the sky and as long as the water flows, you're going to get your money from the Social Security system or from your retirement package, just like we wrote in this paper here. Okay, yeah, right. I'm a Chinese jet pilot, look with security. And by the way, can we say GM employees in retirement? Okay, and how many others are we talking about here? How many people are affiliated with Enron? Okay, how many were people's retirement? See that's the part I've been trying to talk about with people for months and some of them are getting hit by it now. About the whole thing that when these banks, you know, and the scammers and the racketeers did Enron, it's not just Enron itself. It's what was Enron manipulating. What is it that Enron was a part of? Yeah, the big old packages where they let you speculate, they let these characters speculate in risk operations with retirement packages. And so they were able to steal from those retirement packages. Now, this cascades because now we're not talking in the millions. We're not talking hundreds of millions. We're talking B words and we're talking, oh that's right, key words and trillions. And the cascading attack upon your wallet, especially if you're a retiree, Well, example is General Motors. Six years, seven years, and eight years after people retired, say in the 80s, in the middle 80s, guess what happened? Or in the late 80s, in the early 90s, I should go even into the 90s. What they did is they back engineered their retirement contracts. They restructured them after the people retired and the things are supposed to be locked in. And what did they do? They cut their retirement in half. Or they cut their retirement by a quarter. And then another quarter. And then almost another quarter. And by the way, you don't have a health care plan, are you? Yeah. And these are all people who thought their contracts were written in stone. No, they were written in clay and it was not even baked. And it was raining. Yep. And boy, that's really bad. So here's the thing. Unlike all the high risk element things where it's like, me, me, oh, I get fast, fast, fast, fast. Everybody's been thinking fast food. I need to go to the drive-in. Think about this, traditional long-term intelligent investments with people that I have them, actually my parents were at the perfect retirement age because of the when they retired, my grandfather was the same way when he retired. It took a lot of pay in, but it also walked in hard. These contracts and these contracts, well, it was amazed with my parents are the perfect, they're fortunate. in that when they retired, they had paid in for many, like you said, the medical package, not a government medical package, a private medical package, and they always had wanted them. And I remember this, and I watched the same thing happen when I worked at the U. They wanted you to keep change. Oh, there's this new package. No, I'll stick with the old one. No, you've got to change to the new. No, I'll stay with the old one. You really need to change to the new one. You know what happened to all the people who changed to the new one that I found out? They got the shaft, not the gold. Oh, hell yes. exactly what I warned everybody about. They said, oh but you get this and you get that. I said it's enticement because it's all fluff. It's all, it's like the little that they put on the fake foil now. You know, they put on the perimeter to make it look pretty, you know, like crinkle it up, go dressing-y, you know, and then, oh, by the way, when they're done, it all gets ripped away just because it's full. It's not made out of steel, okay? Looks pretty for a little bit, but it's easy to rip off, tear away, and make disappear. And that's exactly what they call this fast, fast, and all the proven. The reason they wanted to step everybody away from the proven system is because they're very narrow and very specific contracts. Tough nut to crack was for all of these economic whores. The fact that you have these block and they're lamenting about it, but here's the thing. They run the machine people. It runs the economy. When you have a guaranteed block of funds, that aren't going anywhere, that can't be touched, you know, they have a force field around them like that. That is a rock-solid investment mechanism. You know that if it was properly put in place, it gains a specific amount of interest. Well, what they did is they wanted to create a shield. They wanted to hollow that out like a gourd so everybody continued to believe that, while in reality they were shoveling it like coal out the back end into their little Cayman Island account furnaces and spending like wild pigs. which is exactly what happened with goofy nonsense that really, really didn't benefit anybody but themselves and a very small neurolic of people. Well, Social Security's been attacked the same way and all this because, well, there's these blocks of money, that money was still circulating in the system. Bonds that were created for that guys operate every day. People are forced though to think long-term, not short-term cookies, okay? Long-term baking and that's the difference between real investment and sound economic practices and the garbage that has damaged the american economy so badly well golden silver the same way and even currency exchange is not bad because you know we've always had international commerce you know that's one thing we have to keep pointing out we do not believe in that and get because we understood that the like somebody told me how many times i've had people say this well that didn't get would be good except for the fact that it's all lopsided against the america Well then it's not good! It's like what was that? Excuse me, hello? It's like people were saying, well, communism would be just fine if it weren't for the fact that it was practiced. Well then it's not good! Hello? And I don't care what BS you come up with. No it doesn't. Because I'll show you the rest of the papers with the stacked bodies. See that's the part when you get half or a tidbit and a small chunk of the information. So where have the abuses gone every time totalitarianism is plugged in like that? Lots and lots of people, mostly people like you and me, you people listening and Donna myself, everybody gets dead, not dead through just natural causes, but dead because they create a machine to do it. It's the same with the socialists and what they do with the economies. The same racket, the same scam, the same garbage is plugged in. See, by the way, let's go back a bit. Now, insurance companies have been with Western civilization for a long time. Now, when they were, and they've always been by the way regulated by the market, so to speak, not by them regulating the market. You see what the insurance companies are doing now is they've become so monstrous and so big that they've manipulated and been part of what has tried to shake up and move these blocks of money to steal from them. They're one of the problems because What they are doing now is they've become mandatory purchases. How many of you have cars? It's the first thing they'll put a gun to your head about. In fact, that tells you, it should tell you something about how manic they are right now. Right now, in many states, they've made it like a felony, or I did not like a felony, not to have insurance on your car. Or they've used that, along with registration, to steal the car right out of your yard. Your single, well, your second largest single uh... large uh... tangible object purchase that you make in the united states your house is your first cars in the second they've come up with whole formulas to steal stuff like that yeah so so here's the thing is who did that well it wasn't that poly picks up in lansing the politicians what it was of the prostitute uh... insurance companies who want to parasite no matter what and what they do is they're using the water regulate to create more business You see how that works? When they see their businesses hurt because people can't afford it because of the way the economy is going, what do they do? They pass more draconian laws to force you to buy their product. Like you said earlier Don, wouldn't that be cute? With all these other companies? Oh, they wish they could see that happen. Well, there are other areas where it's like that. Tell you what I hear the music. Wake up everybody, come on, wake up. Get out of bed. Oh, one more cup of coffee for you guys that are sitting there at the table. Oh, that Indian brew, Don, it's so good. I love this new vehicle, it's really nice back in a bit. And this is the intel report in the morning, it is 7.29 by the atomic clock.

Restoring America's health. One tea bag at a time. On the 18th of April 1775. They were sent their soldiers, they were looking for a fight. They issued a- But the colonists decided, they ran a fight, then run to- short rangers out there if you don't recognize that term you might call yourself a micro broadcaster but I call you a short ranger because it gives you a little bit more of what one might call a militant you see what I mean there again hats off to you guys hoorah while we were talking about money mark I want to point out that you know there are a bunch of I think there was a Chava's article there who think that a weak dollar is good for America Well, let me see. This is what a weak dollar does. When you live up here in northern Michigan or along the Canadian border, there used to be people who would go into Canada, Mark, and there was an article, not an article, this was subject to one of the television vignettes a while back. There were people who lived in Michigan along the border and other bordering states who would go into Canada and purchase their groceries. Why? Because it was just across the border and generally we had a 25% or so advantage as a rough estimate over time. Well imagine that. You go into another country and you buy something, you get automatic 25% off because your currency is worth that much more. Back to that weak dollar, let's turn that table a little bit because there used to be, used to build cars shipped to Europe, GM used to build cars shipped to Europe, and then they, oh, you know, Opel in Europe, Mark, that's part of GM in Europe. There are other portions of Saab. Ford is getting ready to sell Saab. Ford just sold Jaguar to India. We used to ship things around the world. Now people get off the airplane in New York and Miami and they buy Europeans and they'll buy minks and diamonds and whatnot. There's just a thriving industry for minks. America isn't their market. It's just keeping tens of thousands of them. working and you know same with the diamonds it's just keeping tens of hundreds of Americans working. Not. Good morning Don, Mark, you have a caller. Great, we've got a caller Joe? Who do we have? Tom in Florida. Hey Tom, how are you? I'm still breathing it's a gift from God thanks for asking. I have a follow-up on Chicago. The governor has told as many tickets as they can. There's some red light cameras wherever possible. So he can pay for his new 500 man strike force that's going into the south side for the drug dealers to give up their guns so that they can sell their drugs without causing violence. Just see these guys giving up their guns. There's no way to protect their drugs. Yeah, that's gonna happen. Well, if it does, it'll be a little rusty, little funny too, or a bent, sawed off shotgun. Here, you can have this. I don't need it, no mo. Well, the other part about that guys is remember that because of the dope dealers that are in the city hall, what it is is the other problem they're having is the economy has finally put such a chunk that like back in the old mobster days, they're going to help get rid of the competition for the dope dealers that they run. Now, the other thing is, you know, what you're describing there is exactly what our Canadian Californicator did here in Michigan. I remember about a month and a half ago, they bragged that what they were going to do is they were a special group of 100 police out on the highway and they're going to pay overtime and everything and their job was to revenue. Now what do they produce? Nothing. Trying to save their jobs by writing lots and lots and lots of tickets. But here's the problem. It would take, what did they say, a million dollars worth or a million point four is what I think it was for the revenue that needed to be done to pay for the overtime. To even get the overtime done, a million and a half, a million, quite roughly a million and a half in tickets. And then still their goal was to do something like $10 million worth of tickets to pay for the operation. It's like all that is desperation revenue. Oh exactly because again what's going to happen you're not going to hear about anything where the people are deciding to resist in whatever form. The part about this is I don't really think that they're going to be doing the quote unquote drug dealer. That'll be the excuse. while they're busy simply going after people's personal arms, which is the real issue. The dope dealers, in fact, as we've seen many, many times, well, it's like this case right down there in Florida where you are right now, and I want to repeat this. Larry Pratt's working on this right now. We got on this as quickly as we could. Down in Levy County, in Florida, obviously, the Williston PD arrested 81-year-old Benjamin Hanson. And what Benjamin Hammond did in his own home is two punks were coming in through the window. He told them, leave, I'm in the house. They did this. Now this is what's called breaking and entering in an occupied dwelling. And the Fed, during this, you know, let's do something about crime phase several years ago, got all the states to pass all kinds of special legislation. So typically this is a high felony right now. It's like one of the, one of the du jour felonies that they were really hitting for a while. Well anyway, these two characters are coming in through the window and he said, I'm armed, basically, I'm sure he did. And also when they broke in and got in the rest of the way, actually came into the house, he fired a warning shot into the floor. Well, they realized he wasn't joking. And so they fled unharmed out of the house through the front door, ran back out of the house. The cops show up, do they go looking for the people who broke into the house? The 81 year old man, Benjamin Hammond, and on top of that, And the first time I mentioned this to several people, Don, the first thing you thought was they would charge him with... Oh, perhaps discharging a firearm within the city limits. Well, the swine with the Williston PD decided to charge him with two counts of attempted murder. Now, you know what? That tends to create an attitude that, well, if there are two dead thugs crawling through the window, There's only one storyline and we don't have to worry about arguing whether or not there was a threat because they die right where they were crawling through the window. But anyway, we've got people working on this right now and there's an example of what you'll see with the rest of this garbage. The dope dealers and the characters that are in Organized Crime are dangerous. The average American homeowner is logically gonna first think, oh look, they're here to help us until they kick in the door and they ransack the house just like they do in Iraq. and then they steal your firearms. Oh, and the dope dealer is still out in the corner to do his drive-by. In fact, now he can do his drive-bys with impunity, kind of like what they did back during the old Prohibition days. Oh, everybody, turn in your weapons. And you know what? Guess who had the firearms then? The crooks. Yeah. The components. The other crooks. Yeah, the components had no problem worrying about they could do whatever they're going to do, and nobody's going to snipe their hind end from, say, a block away, because, see, that's really what they were worried about. And that's what they're worried about right now. The organized crime, the professional quote unquote, ha ha law enforcement people, they want them there. That's their business. They either A, get a little brown envelope when they go around on their shift and collect them from the many locations in Chicago, just like they do in Detroit by the way. Or they're the business. They're the ones moving the dope. They're the ones helping to make sure the dope's protected. Because they've invested in the dope. Protection money from the one direction, dopers from the other. But of course it will be select when this young kid gets on the corner there. You know, all homie has to do is drop a dime, pick up the old cell phone or go to wherever and beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yo, I got someone in my territory. Yeah, okay, well, we'll take care of that. Hey you! Hey ya kid! Pop pop pop pop pop pop! Stop resisting! Pop pop pop pop pop! Stop resisting! Okay, enough said. And the strike force of 500 mobsters is gonna be brought in and they aren't cleaning the city up. They're prepping the city for the next crime wave. Because Al Capone, Al Capone and all those guys would have been out of business. You think about it, you know what the general attitude of a lot of Americans would be? A lot of those guys were soldiers coming out of World War I. You got some idiot that does, you know, like, you know, says, I'm gonna come in and kill everybody until this guy's like, you hear that from about a block away and nobody has to worry about any retribution because nobody knows where the bullet came from and the mobster drops dead. Well, that's bad for business as we know, isn't it, guys? You're a mobster. Yeah. A hard time getting help. That's right. Well, the other thing too is nobody would help. In fact, he'll sit there bleeding in the street because ain't nobody going around to help him other than his own. The reason I bring it up is because here in Detroit we had the Jewish Purple Gang. The Jewish Purple Gang operating out of Detroit and out of mostly Toledo by the way. They got a whole bunch of lawyers and stuff that are still kicking them that were old Purple Gang lawyers. He might be dead by now, I hope he is. The one that I know is still alive. But anyway, the Jewish Purple Gang, one of the things they used to do as a fun sport is they would start at the end of a neighborhood. They would quietly move to the edge of a neighborhood on a street. They would be armed in the vehicle and they would drive down the street to see how many people they could shoot off of their porches before everybody would take cover. Now, why do you think they wanted the population disarmed? Because after a while, and this is really what happened a few times, they don't talk about it. The cops didn't do anything because the cops were in the purple gangs pay. But what happened is the people started plugging their hind end from the cars. And what they would do is they were smart, they'd just take off to the backyard or down the block and they'd wait. And they'd start putting holes in their big old limos because they were using these monster cars. There's a guy here in Ann Arbor who collects Purple Gang limos and Purple Gang cars that were used specifically by that group. It's over on 7th Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's got another big garage. He has a whole history of these vehicles. I grew up not far from where that guy was. And you could go look at the vehicles on the weekend if you wanted to. It was like his own little museum. And he had all the history of what these people did with these cars. And what the bullet hole patches were and where they were the whole nine yards. So that's what these gutter snipes, especially again the Jewish Purple Gang, those bottom feeders, or the Capone Gang, another bunch of mafia, you know, potlickers in Chicago. That's what these characters are looking for is that they buy the cops, the cops go in and thug the population, That way the Foos at one time, dope, dope now, and all the numbers and all the other red-lighting operations, they can go on with impunity because they know the population has been defanged so that when they get incensed because of the abuses, they won't bother the business. That's what this is all about right now, because this is old mafia gangland area anyway with Chicago. Yes it is. It's been pretty much to accept the police telling them to do. Time ago became an army of occupations. Well the sad part about it is that again, this situation in Chicago, remember part of this was supposed to be National Guard, correct? Yes, still talking about that, but I got the feeling that maybe someone in the National Guard said, nah, I don't think we're really interested in doing this, or if we get stuck going in there, you may find out that we're going to be on the wrong side. Exactly. So the 500-man strike force will be a combination of whoever else with perhaps some National Guard guidance. There we go. They can provide support like they saw with the Border Patrol. As the guy said, all they did was go down and rotate tires, work on vehicles. Men that were on the border were disarmed right away. We were targets. And not many National Guardsmen really want to participate in any of that nonsense, especially since they all knew that it really wasn't serving the original purpose. ...the border guards with the guns when they deploy them, shoot the drug dealer, they could send to jail. Right. they'll do is they'll search through the right kind of person to put into the strike force and then send goes down there to enforce the governor's. They get the gun law. So we'll see what happens there. Now again, the Italian want your money be tried out of especially out of Chicago with the mafia there the way they are right now and they've been still pretty heavy for years. We have the black mafia, we have the Jewish mafia and we have the Italian mafia. We have three flavors. Oh, we can't forget the Russian Mafia. Now, and the answer is, remind me, yeah, we got the Russian Mafia. But, you know, the Russian Mafia kind of stands out. You know, when you better can understand what they're doing, it's really a problem to do business with them. Yeah, they're too busy, too busy muscling the hockey team right now, the dead wings. I mean, the red wings. In Chicago, with whatever mafia it is that's running, I think that's who we'll see being the one manipulating the situation there. The same thing is true with East, I think, even with Washington. There's a lot more to that because as far as the whole thing about the arms because again they've already got them pretty well disarmed so they can use that as an excuse to go after people whenever they feel like it. The federal ruling of Queens the battlefield so they simply rewrote the definition of things. Now they're right back to square one. But who does that protect because have you ever been in Washington? I don't want to go. I understand. In fact, I tell you what, people thought we were crazy because I was staying at the Army Navy Airmen's and Siemens Hotel actually that they have there. It's been there for years. It goes back before World War II. Even with another building when the President was torn, it was torn down. I should say it was put back up. Anyway, the old one was torn down. The new one put up. first place I had ever been where I stepped out and the first thing that goes by is literally looked right out of the road warrior there are two cars one of them has the whole back window out of it the side windows are out of it the only it has is a windshield and there are four or five guys in that and three in the back are shooting at a whole bunch of guys that are in the car that's chasing them it looks just like the first one paint jobs worn off It's dented in several directions. The headlights do work and there's two tail lights and that's about it. But they've got those shut off and then they turn them on and shut them off. And of course, try not to draw attention, which I think turning the lights on and off did anyway, but they're doing this so that they black themselves out. The cars were kind of gray or smoky or just tired paint and dark colors. And they're throwing stuff at each other and they go zipping by, right? And as we walk out, it's like, hmm, that's kind of interesting. So you gotta remember, this is with the gun bands and all this other BS in place already, guys. This is with all these controls that are supposed to make everybody safer. And you know it has been like that for years. But when you try to go down and walk down to the public bus station, it was, oh, I think, two blocks away, a block and a half away from where we were standing. We're standing there and we're going to go to the bus station. And this one guy next to us goes, oh, you're not going over there. I said, yeah, we are. So the five of us were all walking together. We walked down the street. Now it was a classic five-story sandstone front going straight to the bus station. You step right out the door, you walk across the street, and you go straight down the street. There were like packs of wolves, gangs of creatures, paralleling us in the alleys, left and right, down the road through the back alleys, that we would see every once in a while as they would flip, moving with us as we walked down to the bus station. Now, the thing is, we were clean cut at a time when most people weren't clean cut. So probably they thought we were either a, some kind of, you know, cop shop group or a bunch of crazies, but either way, they didn't quite want to mess with us like they probably would have with grandma or a regular tourist. We get out of the bus station, go around and check things out. Everybody's looking at us like, my God, you walked here. So we thought, okay, well, there's nothing to see here. Let's go get some meat. So we went back, of course, same way we came. We got our car. which is parked in a secure armored wired lot. And go get that. We go down and we go to, it was McDonald's. We're thinking park the car, go into McDonald's. We park the car. We walk up the door and this guy stands there and there's a guy that goes, no wait, only three of you can go in at a time. And we're like, yeah, we're like what? And we look inside and every, it was better armored than a bank. three-quarter inch and one inch Lexan armor glass, you know, armor plastic all over the front of the lobby and little turnstiles where they could pass the food. Yeah, imagine. Crackhead runs in, sticks a gun in the clerk's face and says, give me all your Big Mac. That's right. I'm really hungry. So in any way, it's like, oh, okay, I can see this can be a problem. So we got our food, went back out and went back and, you know, just stayed in the hotel. The rest wasn't worth seeing. And that was it for the night. Now the next night we went around and looked at some of the monuments down in the Monument area because there's a massive police presence down there all the time. And now it's worse because before they at least looked like police officers, like civilian police officers, now they've all got spiffy little black uniforms and it looks like something right out of a horror movie. So it's like, like you said, it ain't really worth going to see. I mean, we protest down there but Otherwise, the ADL's got it from one end, they make sure they try to keep the peasants disarmed from the other, and they love the crime operations. And they ain't the only ones, there's a whole bunch of other racketeers down there, but you can see the different cliques that run different parts of the city that way. And the crime, well, the crime that the police don't do anything about, they'll attack a regular person like you or me, but they aren't going to do anything about the crime. Keep the police. That's right, keep the police. he stayed up and once it's in place, well they don't want to take that cop off every corner. Well, in the secure areas. In the other areas, when you call for police, the phone rings 29 times at 911. Detroit, yeah. You call with a body sitting on the street and no response. And it's like, well, call the other number, no response. Hey, I guess we're on our own, better get another gun. Anyway, Tom, anything else? That's it, boss. I appreciate it sir. I'll tell you what, keep us up to date on that. So now we have the 500, kind of like the 300 only in this case. Not standing for justice or defending the people, probably more or less just defending the other dope dealers. That's for sure. Take it easy. That was Tom from Florida. Well thank you for calling. And again, you know, no matter where we go, especially with the big cities, the problem is that, well, and it It's a different kind of criminal in government. I guess watching, there's always been organized crime in big cities. And there's always organized crime in big government. But Don, the old criminals used to be smart. They knew that if you don't keep milking the cow, you have no cow. You don't over milk it. And certainly you don't want to think, Don, that's a nice cow, but we've got to have steaks today. There's no milk tomorrow. Yeah, and no more cows. The thing is in the past, they used to steal but they were stealthy stealers. It was like, it only took 5%. It was like we're talking about investing earlier on here. They started out like, say, well, with the grafting corruption, we're going to keep it at about 5% because we've got to keep everything else running. People got to see paint on the walls. They've got to see buses moving. If they don't, well, people aren't going to come here and we won't have any more cows to milk. Now, what they can't figure out is the stupid criminals progressively replaced, and I mean not that all criminals are bright anyway, but the really dumb criminals progressively gravitated to these positions of authority. And what's happened is the characters just have no clue. Detroit was the same way. Instead of the stealth stealing or at least no coo with some level of coo-th-ness, there we go, coo-th-ness, Instead, they turned around and it was basically ham-handed thievery, just literally, hand over fist, to the point where it literally has gutted the center of the city. This wave of destruction progressively is moving out, like a slow burning flame, actually like a cannon fuse. Burn to destruction, but it doesn't burn super fast, but it does burn. And the same is true with most every other city we have in the country. And we've been passing through, we've driven through, I've been watching this. Oh, and then there's these new constructions and little pods and areas that are working reverse order where there's this fleeing from the city because after the socialists do what they do, they don't like the flavor of the pool they peed in. And so they move on down the road a little farther, a little farther, a little farther, but they never learn and they always try to plug the same BS in that they left. stepping back and thinking for a minute why did this get this way how did this happen what should we fix instead it's what just throw money at it well money only tends to pay the uh... crocodile towards you yeah without work currently coming ooh except they don't know how to fish so they can get rid of the crocodile or get rid of the you know the prana or whatever it is think about it Instead you should be if you neutralizing get rid of the problem. Oh, it's a little painful Oh, it does cause and create some you know issue you've got to do you've got to do what's called work. WRK But instead it's stuff. Well, we'll go over here and we'll do the same thing again. I don't think it works out very well. Oh, I hear the music Don we are at the top of the hour. It is a beautiful Friday. Ladies and gentlemen, you all enjoy the weekend We got a nice cool day here and it ain't warmed up I don't know about Dom, how is it up there with you right now? It hasn't changed much. We're almost at midday guys, it's almost noon for us. I don't think we're going to get real hot today. So much for global cooling warming. Or global cooling. And party on the beach tomorrow by the way. Repeat party on the beach tomorrow. Party on the beach tomorrow. God bless the republic death to the new world order we shell for the old ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run, but we are on the mark of the day man's mind. We raw. Big fan that's chasing down the road giving the backpack full of rocks. When the limo comes down through the neighborhood plus the bugle.
