Summary
Mark Koernke discussed personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, and preparedness on this Tuesday morning broadcast. He emphasized the importance of mindset, discipline, and practical knowledge in overcoming challenges, drawing parallels between martial arts principles and broader life applications. Koernke addressed the need for Americans to understand military strategy through texts like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Clausewitz, advocated for generalist skills over specialization, and criticized government overreach and media manipulation. He also discussed physical conditioning, the importance of planning ahead for emergencies, and maintaining a can-do American attitude in the face of systemic challenges.

The Microfact Radio Broadcasting Network. Hi everybody, this is Faith Hill for RAD recording artists, actors, and athletes against drunk driving. As a performer, I've had many wonderful moments to celebrate. So please, when you celebrate, designate. Please choose a designated driver. Music lives, and you should too. A public service message brought to you by the U.S. Department of Transportation, RAD, the National Association of Broadcasters, and the AD Council. Silver has long been used throughout history as a way to disinfect and prolong the freshness of water and food, as well as utilized for its beneficial healing and anti-disease properties. From the Greeks, the Romans, and the Phoenicians to the Middle Ages, from the first settlers in America to its preventative use against infection during World War I, silver was always known for its health benefits. Hippocrates wrote extensively about the healing power of silver, and in the 1920s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of silver solutions as antibacterial agents. So what happened? Why aren't you hearing about Silver these days. For those seeking an alternative to the big pharma products and their side effects, International Health has what you've been looking for. Super Silver is an engineered silver nanoparticle solution created using the unique and patented silver technology process of International Health's biotech labs. Hundreds of university and government level tests have been done and the 50th clinical trial has been completed. What is the FDA hiding from you? Find out at www.ihsite.com or call Glenn at 800-974-1. 1879 to place an order. That bad? Oh yeah? Oh, they're parts of it I like. A lot of it. Yeah, it was good. You're listening to The Micro Effect. Micro broadcasters covering 194,000 square miles and bringing the people's voice to little towns all across America. 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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On 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 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 so their children will be both. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children would 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 mist for whence he came. His words were true, we're free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god given right, we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the Land. When you are listening to us on a micro effect network in the morning and on Liberty Tree Radio, we're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations and ultra net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi and Alaska, of course. It is a beautiful Tuesday. Don, the day is. You guys just nation. You gotta be to work. Get up! Go now! But an hour, more power to you. You kind of slept late this morning. I got up and sat here for a moment. the entertainment. And when this is going on at the show, they bring you all kinds of other... Well, they brought up Jet Li. You guys should pay it to whatnot. You might recognize the name Jet Li. Jet Li's the mummy. It's hardly ever spoken out loud. Because again, even Grandmasters hardly ever say it. It's something that by the time you're expected, you know, you're a grown man, you don't even have to be told. But he did put it out there, and I'm gonna put it out there too. Don't complain. Try to be better. that try to be better doesn't have to necessarily be that which is around you. You know, when you're instructing students, you're trying to make them better, aren't you? And think about this, you guys. How many times have you heard someone on this hour, unless sometimes you get stuck? How many times have you heard us complain? Exactly, never. Almost exactly, never. Well, we don't complain. What we do is show you the problem and many, many times we'll often complain. That those are Oh, look, it's terrible. Oh, it'll be just imagine what it'll be like when the water overruns and we do nothing. Yes, martial art. We all bend over, grab the sandbags, throw them into the piles and stop the water, sir. No, no, it's funner. It's more funner to, you know, rumorate and to lament and mash your teeth and run up there. Besides, it takes less calories. Yeah. But what gets done? The martial arts is whole active in something called standing back and you know, well the dam's broke. Just watch the water go by. Something needs to be done. Slide back and forth, vigil blocks in there. Down, generally he'll do it with printed out and it probably passed about a thousand of these out to different people, different bikers in the Detroit area. It says, extent of life. Showing up is 90% of life. Well if I want to go over there, it looks kind of dangerous. Well, that's part of the world kids. Exactly. Even farmers, they'll think about it. Going out there, getting out of the tractor, and farm machinery is some of the most dangerous on the planet actually. People don't think about that, and yet there's no restriction with regard to what the stuff does. It has to do what it has to do. If you want to eat, machines have to keep doing the OSHA, and they get a little involved. Even those parasites understand the problems with the mess with these companies on the planet. You know what I mean? Farm machinery is unique, and you can get twisted up into it, chopped up into it. If you look at the possibilities, it'd be like, oh my goodness, I can't do that. But they step out, they jump on the machinery, they hook it up to make sure the PTO's connected. And they run on down through the fields. And you know what? They come back pretty much every day. In fact, in reality, though, the incidents are pretty terrible when they do happen. And again, that sometimes just petite what you've got to watch out for. That's the other half of it. A little percentage is controlling the body, what it needs to do being, again, common sense is applied there. That's the other part of it. So with everything that you do, when you get up this morning, it's 709. Some people are a little frosty out there, a little, you know, a little term, frosting coming. And so they kind of get up, get out there, jump behind the steering wheel, turn on the lights, pull out of the driveway, and get hit by the first car they didn't see. Another 10% is for wake, you understand the environment, you've got the working knowledge, you get the stuff done, and that can all be accumulated pretty quick, and it's experience. You know, everything is experience. We don't throw people behind the steering wheel, but then again, people say, well these are modern times, but we didn't exactly throw everybody right up on a horse now, did we? Nope. Go ride that horse now. See how that doesn't work that way. They would know better. You lose too many kids, okay? So everything requires working knowledge, passing the information on, and that's where all of you are instructors. Everybody is a teacher. That's really the other part of what they're talking about there. Working at making our lives better. That's right. That's how we do it. And again, learn the mistakes of others. You won't listen. long enough to make them all yourself. Some of them will kill you. Hey look it's a trip. That's why we don't stand on the tracks. Okay, nice alligator. I think I'll go over there and pet it. The world is spinning and spinning and now it's wet and I'm under a log. What have this happened? You know, see how that works? You know instead it's like okay somebody says don't do that. Now there are some things people don't matter how hard you try people are thinking well I think I can you know that's for a day no dad tells everybody and mom or dad tell everybody when you're younger don't touch it that's hot that's a stove don't touch that and you know pretty much everybody does it once that's dad's reinforcing and mom's reinforcing and then well actually the statement is the basic teaching statement the stove doesn't forcing now there's another thing about getting burned on the stove you think for a minute there oh that hurt wait a minute Now, Mom and Dad must have some working knowledge here that's a little better than mine. Maybe they know something. See how that works? You're right. What else could you be right about? Well, let's see. He said not to do that. Okay, I won't do that. Let's not step out in front of the cars. Well, that's a little discipline there. And sometimes, with fanny warming, we'll, you know, shall we say apply pain. In other ways, it's less painful, but is memorable, okay, which is something that people don't want to do now. Oh, you can't. I don't know, it worked pretty well with me if something was really, if I, you know, looked like I was going to do something really stupid. You know what? OSHA wasn't there, but my dad was. I was still breathing. Yep. OSHA wants to put pads and bumpers on everything. By the time you're done, the world doesn't work. Why? Because you're bouncing off all the stuff you're supposed to be handling, okay? Do you have your helmet on while you're in the shower? That's right. Well, because those people do fall, you know. Don't forget, we should have the bucket screens on everything because everybody's going to fall into those five gallon pails and drown, don't you know? Think about it. Look at some of the stupid stuff. Oh, okay, this is how it works. It's like pools, okay? Stay away from the pool. It'd be a good idea unless you plan on swimming, but stay a beautiful morning here. But just the application, guys. Half of it is mindset. Most of it is mindset. Everything else pretty well locks in. If you want to win, you got to make the decision you're going to. Well, if you want to accomplish something, you already have to have it in your mind that you are going to accomplish it. Again, that for examples that you think about it, how many times have you dealt with a mechanical process? Half of it is first stepping back and looking, again, you're comparing, you know, you mentally, what you're doing is using a template. You've done something before similar and you're looking and going, okay, how does this thing work? Now, I've got to remember how it's put together, but I'm going to take it apart. And in doing so, I'll put it back in reverse order when the time comes. With little patience, it's amazing how well you can do. More complicated is or If you put it back together and you find spare parts, there will be no spare parts. Together on the kitchen table, you see how that works? Yep, a place for everything. Operations, it can be your weapons, it can be your fuel gear, it can be your personal vehicle, it can be your armored vehicles, it can be whatever you've got that you guys are maintaining. Hey, come on, common sense. And again, we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Another cool thing is this. Database out there, not just the internet, not Google, they're called books. And I truly believe in books that's spelled with Let's see, B-U-E-E-S. Now, they don't require any batteries. They're interfaced with the human mind. But the cool thing is, 24 hours a day, having to wait for a warm up, no having to scan. Any technical data, oh, out there, they're listening. At some point, just like you just saw with that little war in Georgia over on, trust me guys, don't think power's going off. I think there's all kinds of things happening that we've kind of warned people about. It's happening now in an area where most people, by the way that's Europe. Everybody remember that? We now have a war going on in East Europe, but it's on the European slash Asian continent Indonesia, it's not Southeast Asia, it's not in Australia, talking about Europe. Things are weedling their way back up into the whole government, you know, central areas where there's keep ourselves alive, Don. We need the technical knowledge. We need to, you know, correct, which is the whole, you know, list of what he was saying. We've got to be able to fix it, knowledge to get the job done. and to save time too because that's the other thing we always talk about. Time, we only get so much of use it wisely. You know, take advantage when you see something sitting there. You know, nowadays in my policy is you see it sitting there and somebody else wants to get rid of it, grab it. Now it may mean that you're going to be a little piled up with resource for a little bit, but you know what? That isn't going to last for real because as you start to use it under the basic policy of use it, you're going to find real quick that you wish you may have grabbed a few more of some of those widgets and things that you saw laying around. Once you know how to use them, application and he gets consumed, you're like, wow, man, I could have had 20 more of these and I only have 10. Mmm, steak on my part. Well, when you talk about time, there is another basic, and it doesn't seem to spread throughout. But, you know, when you think about martial arts, you think about punching, kicking. Some people think about martial arts like grappling, you know, like wrestling. If you look over, let's bring up another very recognized martial arts, although he's passed away, Bruce Lee. You might have seen a Bruce Lee movie in your life or recognize the name Bruce Lee, you know, the martial arts to this guy. One of the things that was his, he tried to exhibit, you know, even into the movie, you want to spend the least amount of time fighting an individual opponent. He also expounded on what you see now, the cage fight, you know, where they'll punch and kick and fight on the ground. He said that that was the next logical progression, fighting, you know, control. of fighting and we see that now. Now I'll point this out that you know you won't see a whole lot of people run with each other on a battlefield when they're when they have compatriots from both sides around. You're raffling on the ground with some along comes his friend and puts a bayonet in your back or just clubs you. This is a great exhibit you want to spend time with an individual opponent so that you will again the least amount of energy in many martial arts for sampling arts. Well, I'm really good at raffling. Try to get a joint lock or some type of submission. But while you're holding your opponent, and let's not even do this in your front yard or you're leaving with your wife. Now while you're wrestling on the ground with one guy, here's another guy carrying your wife away. The best thing you can do is defeat your opponent in the shortest amount of time possible you will be for your next opponent. Expended the least on that person. Be again, have a you won't be out of breath. How many of you can do 50? How many of you out there? And I'll ask for, raise your hand if you can, and if you can, I know that you can. 50 pushups isn't a lot of the people who come here to train. They couldn't do 10 pushups when they first started coming here. Now they're doing 100. You know how big that energy bank is? If you can do 120 pushups, how long you could stand? If you have that type of, I call it, to my students, an energy bank. If you have that much of an energy bank to withdraw from, You can continue to press your opponent and counter what he is doing until he is out of breath and then you defeat him if you haven't defeated him earlier with some basic motion. But again, this goes back to while one army is busy with another army, the opponent's friends from a flank or from behind. See what I'm trying to tell you about? To expend the least amount of energy to defeat your opponent in the shortest amount of time, be fresh and ready. This cousin or ex-division of a basic tenet that, Mark. We need to get that in every American. You have to overcome the idea that it may not seem fair because the other side never apologizes. You don't know something. You attack people, they damage people, hurt people in so many different ways. Or they, again, will leave lie, they'll fabricate, whatever. Do you ever hear them apologize for that? No. Well, it's because they understand they're waging war against you and you're perceiving somehow that something else is going on. something lesser. And that isn't the case. In reality, we're dealing with, and we have been dealing with a dagger war for many, many years, and some actions. And again, from their perspective, anything that they do, it's a brawl. For them, it's already a brawl. They're coming into this and looking at you that they're going to fight and they're going to hurt you. Now this can be both physically or economically, socially, whatever. You take your pick of whatever you want to call it. But the bottom line is, it's also when engaging these critters, you say, now in some cases, I won't say ignore, It's kind of like you pass through the lesser infantry or the lesser critters because they aren't even really effectual. It's like when we talk about the controlled media. Look at them and laugh at them. Look at them and laugh at them and point it out to everybody. You want a bunch of goofs. These characters are flat out lying, aren't they? Literally, you've got to start doing this, people, because they really aren't relevant. They want you to make them relevant. But if everybody starts pointing them out, ridiculing them, it's the old, remember the emperor has no clothes. You have completely bereft them of a tool that to this point they have been able to use to allow you to defeat yourself. Think about that. Remember, what's the old rule? Well, the idea is to convince your enemy and who this? Who would be doing that? Who is it that's going to talk in your ear, stand in front of you on the boob tube? Who is it that's going to be there telling you that you've already lost before the first enemy arrow has left the bow? Why the very people on the boob tube, the controlled media and all these other goops, whose job it is through movies and through television series like, wow, look at the junk survivor and any other variations on it. All of them are these dwee loser routines. These people don't plan on doing and backstabbing the other guy. The cooperation and working together, it's all over until this time as they can then backstab them and work their way up the little corporate ladder or whatever. Well, in reality guys, in the fight that we're facing, that isn't how it should be working. But, if they're going to destroy the Christian ethic of the United States, if they wish to destroy that which has been in a stumbling block for all of the history of this nation, if they are going to destroy the Christian of the United States, them. That's their logic. That's what they're saying. Because otherwise they could do all kinds of things. Yeah, well of course they could. And the devil would be whispering in their ear every step of the way, guys. They could. Well instead, it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen. But we have to have, and we have to understand our responsibility, but also the authority. This is another thing we talk about all the time. Authority. You have the authority. You don't have to wait for any permission for some goof who's decided to take up some bureaucratic office so that he can foist what, two million dollars. new laws a year upon you which are so confusing they make no sense at all and it's not an accident Americans have to stand up and take a photo, you notice this, the you must pay they show up Don and they want more. By the way you need to be doing it this way. Oh you don't tell me what to do I'm with the Gooberman fill in the blank whatever level. Really? Now let me give you an example of this real quick because we're almost at the bottom of the hour here. Don this is an example of of goofiness on the maximum level. Now, we always talk about the high schools here and all the bottom land they bought. One of the guys up here just north of us on Dexter Pickney Road, the other in Dexter Pickney, has the New Pickney High School. New Pickney High School was built on absolute wetland slash swamp valley. Nothing in all the time I've ever been alive, and I'm 50 years old, has ever been built on that because it's an absolute muckhole swamp bottom land, piece of property, all they had were pigs in there, only because the pigs could get in and out and like to rut in the mud. And they liked to lay in the mud. And the mud was there in the wind. What does that tell you about how soft and wet that area is, right? Well, lo and behold, I look around and construction right on that site. Now, here's the thing. If you have a big swamp in your backyard, you go out there and start taking a shovel to it, somebody's going to usually come in for a rash, aren't they? But what organization would that be? the O-E-P-A. And they can't take away that home for those ducks. And don't forget the snail darter. Yeah. The thing is, they built this high school right in the middle of this muck hole slash bottom land and somebody obviously made a hell of a deal on the junk land and you know then charged 20 times what it would work. Okay. I hear the music, but then we're gonna do, we're gonna go to break. We'll be back in about, oh, how about three minutes here on the Micro Effect Network.

Man sent word, he'd better make his run no more He said two hundred agents were covering the state Whichever road he tried to take, they'd get him sure as fate Son, his daddy told him, make this run your last Your tank is filled with hundred proof You're all tuned up and gassed now, don't take any chances If you can't get through, I'd rather have you back again than pull that mountain dew And there was thunder, thunder, over a thunder road Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load Moonshine, moonshine, it quashed the Devil's thirst The Lord they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got it first Man out of Harlan, revving up his mill He shot the gap that Cumberland and screamed by me in her fill With G-Man on his tail light, road locks up ahead A mountain boy took roads with even angels, spirited tread Oh, he left the road at 90, that's all there is to... We're going to have to have Joe play out the whole of that one day. That sure sounds like the song about a... What's the word there? Moonshine Runner. Yeah, well, Thunder Road. You know, there are those that say, Chirr Petty, his father. made their how they got started had enough money to go into racing. How stock car racing racing was born. Special breed of vehicle and a special breeder driver who is unique. Well another interesting thing as I mentioned are just outside of Knoxville. For everybody remembers back in the days many years ago like in the 60s. Remember Knoxville and another one is Chattanooga. Okay guys I don't know what it was about those roads but they sure as hell didn't go straight through any terrain. In the old days, super highways were first and there were still choke points where when you got to them, you were back on two lanes and the word switch back and hog back road come back into play. You know what I mean? Be very unique. You'd be sitting there in one car backed up to traffic because it all jammed into one area and forth like you see out west, mostly in the mountains nowadays, where you'd have to switch back, you'd go down so many like say a mile or half a mile and the road would turn around and make another slow degrees and go back up the other direction. was a spot there in Chattanooga and one in Knoxville like that where you could look down if you rolled the window down and look out of the car. Down below you'd be the last switchback and the car's coming up behind you. You could drop a rock on them or bubblegum. It wouldn't drop a rock because it wouldn't feel too happy about that. But you know it's just the idea that the roads are rather steep and rather dangerous and the most important thing I always remember is there wasn't any guard rail, thing like that. While you'd see wheel marks where the car would just kind of get to a spot and It just didn't stop that time. Then there'd be, you know, a tumbled wreckage between one switchback and the other, and they didn't even bother to pull the cars out of the tree. Just be there as, you know, you could recognize that that must have been a car, but it was such a piece of tumbled wreckage. And it was hooked up in the trees, and it wasn't even worth going to get for scraps. It was also a nice reminder for some people who were a little more cautious, or they'd make them a lot more cautious because they'd look up at that wreck in the trees and go, I don't want that to be me, so maybe I better pay attention when it's going. So that did help, I guess, a little bit. The casualty in one case became the road marker and the other that slowed everybody down better than a speed limit 35. Yeah, it should be 15. Hey, you know, you guys, many times will tell you, or urge you to procure your own copy of Sun Tzul, the Shogun. It aired on national television 25 years ago. Pretty good. James Clavell wrote that. He's been, has a pretty good experience, the Eastern world, the extent that he was able to up his own book, the translation of Sun Soo's The Art of War. And I encourage you to get your own copy of it or go on the internet and maybe get it printed out or whatnot. But there's just a couple of lines here. I want to bring it you guys. Sun Soo, one of the very first things he said in his book, in fact, it begins, the art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to see or to rule under no circumstances. can it be neglected? You have to understand that this comes out of a time of like, what was the fat little guy? Buddha talked about the individual man being for his individual house and if the house was right and other men in the village had their house right then the village was right and if the village was right then the state was right and if the state was right then the whole country was right. See how that works? Again, if you take this In this instance he's talking about the state. He says, the art of war is of vital importance to the state. Let's change that simple word there. The art of war is of vital importance to the individual man. For life and death are wrong. Safety or to ruin. Hence, under no circumstances can it be neglected. That's something to live by. There's another thing to study and to push you along in your endeavors at getting better. Sun Sooal also said, and this goes back over to some of the things we've talked on earlier in the hour, he said, Know the enemy and know yourself. You need not fear the result of a hundred battles. Know yourself but not the enemy. For every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you come in every battle. The words are so wise that, you know, for most of 150, almost 200 years, every Russian general. has been made to read the Art of War. It's part of the discipline and the responsibility issues we've talked about. Discipline is key here to actually take the whole idea of, like I said, my favorite books. They don't require batteries. They interface with the most sophisticated computer on the planet. It's the one that everything else is trying to control that. Actually, here's how it works. The script, of course, is indomitable. The spirit controls the mind. To combine, create a tremendous force. The mind controlling the body, the body can do anything. Most people say, well, no, that's not, you know, you'd be amazed. It's a, in fact, the body can, the body is commanded by the mind and can press all of its limits to do so. Remember there was a, there was a Western song that came out about two years ago now. It's been over two years where the guy is, you know, again, I don't listen to that much country. The piece where basically the guy is kind of reiterating. It's like, well, I used to do it every day, but this every day or that, I may not be able to do it every, do it one more time. and he kind of goes into several different subjects. One of his wins in the bar and get into a fight and he's like, hell, you guys wanna, you know, Duke may not be able to do it a lot, but I'll do it once. Hold still. I may not be as good as I once was as I ever was. That's right. Yep. So what we're talking about, you know, the body again, in that respect, the mind can command the body. Now there are ramifications in that situation where one way or another you're either gonna feel it or something like break after you're done, but Don't tell me that the mind and the spirit hold the body because we have seen too many examples of it, especially the longer you live, the more you will understand. Make sure that we reap that knowledge. Now, it can be regulated. In other words, we don't have to operate the body to failure. That may be a life and death issue. You may have to apply that. The bottom line is that we know what the... We don't press ourselves past the limit and we know and understand what the ramifications are with each notch that we ratchet things up to. Most working as a fighting soldier, especially you have to understand the long-term effects. You calculate accordingly. This is something we do. In fact, military, let me put it this way. Military, and it's not a new issue. In World War II, there was a vast, I mean, think about it. We fielded millions of people. We put people in industry. We put people into uniform and had them fighting overseas. Section of knowledge or element of knowledge, it was gleaned from that because of the vast environments and variances that actually come up with formulas for durability with regard to men. you know, slash troops. What they did is they looked at and they had what we call unit histories but also individuals who were, you know, combat experienced. And they came back and explained, through their experience, what the limitations were. The whole formula book came out that was pretty accurate, to be quite honest. I've read it several times. It basically told you, okay, if you run for so many days, paths would be normal sleep patterns. You're going to see specific results. These will be the fatigue issues. And remember that for every most sleep cycle that a person is awake, typically they may actually, in the course of a 48-hour block, you will probably need about one hour of sleep for every hour extended. The person is done. The fatigue level can be overcome and of course rest cycles and sleeping or napping can help. Still, it doesn't take the place of REMS REM sleep, which is something that everybody needs every so often to help recuperate critical elements in the body. And that's something that was calculated in. People were not ignorant of this. However, that's why you see what are called grave decisions. level of the soldiers or the men involved, no choice but to use them because there was nobody else. Even that is taken, if you can't say, oh, they were stupid or ignorant of that, or oh, this was a grave error. No, it was perhaps the situation was quite simply another factor with everything that we do. It's like space travel, but it's also the time factor. You know, you'd like to be in a certain place that, you know, here we have a critical issue, but one of the things you always have to look at is what's the time to travel? What's the time to distance? How long will it take to accomplish something? Certain things that simply take so long, you cannot. So now we have to plan in advance. We, all of us, have to plan in advance. If we wish to see our people alive because of what's coming, and this is a critical issue, you have to be planning ahead. You don't have to have a massive battle plan. But what you need to do is have understanding amongst all the people that are going to be participating. It can be as simple as just the family, all good at, and that they've of formations and organizations and the fact that each person has a specific given task, they must commit within a window of time operations to succeed. It can be mobilization, it can be actual combat, it can be nothing more than just supply and support. But what's that term they use guys? Timing is everything. You can distance everything else. By the way, real quick there, Don, you can throw a fantastic punch, but if it ain't there on time... It's a waste of energy. Suck and air ain't going to do it, is it? That's right. Your opponent may very well to the side or even behind you. That's a little compressed version of what one of the problems you see when you look at larger and larger formations, and this is something I want to point out, and greater distances. You have to allow for a number of different errors. There has to be what's called a fudge factor. Well, when Knox took the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga, he wrote a letter to Washington saying, I'll have them there in about 29 days. It might have been 19 days, but it took about 40. And again, that was because of the conditions, the weather into the winter. Yes. And moved everything across. In fact, it was that's one of the ways that they hope to do it to save themselves the trouble of having to worry about bridging and such because they were moving such phenomenal objects. And again, they did it with ox. There was no... Bodies of water, a number of cannons fell into the icy water. Instead of just, well, that's gone, we gotta go on. And this is one of the reasons it slowed them down, but they spent the time there because they could not afford to lose one. Where did they go, Mark? They went, good portions of them, went to surround Boston, didn't they? Right, they went to, they became the colonial artillery that would make up the first artillery divisions of the militia and the regular US Army. Yes, and all the while carrying the King's crack. There's a lot of things that are part of the big math formula you all have to remember. And it's history, but it's history you're going to make instead. And another thing real quick on this, again getting back to the whole idea of knowing yourself, is again that gets back to another line, know your limitations. Understand that what it is, as we said you can press the envelope, but know how far you can go. A lot of you are getting older, we know you got injuries. Some of you are getting older, we just know that the fatigue little better. Now there are little tricks to extend that. And one of the things there too is vitamin supplements, mineral supplements, guys they will help to alleviate some of the pain because there are things that your body does, that doesn't do now that it did when you were 20. You're going to have to do more investigating. A lot of the people that advertise in the network at the bottom of the hour are covering certain health issues. Well, what happens is the body doesn't shut down, but it slows down. And it doesn't produce the materials that are needed to keep the other component in your gear. That's why when you were 20 and you're out there playing football and you bounce off somebody, you jump back up and you bounce off them 100 more times for the day. And you know what? Oh, you're a little sore the next day, but you're running around, you're going playing, you're going to work. It's a weekend, Monday morning comes along, you jump up. Well, there's a reason. Your body's producing certain things in larger quantities that help to keep you alive during what we might call your mistake years. Exactly. Learning curve time. As you get older and more mature, the body kind of slows down a little bit there. The parts are on the body. Unfortunately, you might have made some you didn't really need. Guess what? There are ways to get around that. So I would keep you alive longer if even if the weed environment in the world is not that difficult a process. There are herbal solutions, natural homeopathic solutions, products out there that work exceptionally well. We're probably going to touch on that. Oh, tomorrow's weapons Wednesday. Your body's a weapon too, so we are going to touch on that. I'll bring up a few, give you some ideas of what we've actually seen in the last couple of months with some of the stuff that we've been using. Okay. We've had other people use it. I've had major, and we're talking catastrophic injuries and it's amazing how well some of this stuff has worked, but just planning a seat. Now you want to tune in tomorrow. Well, let's plan another seat here, you guys. You know, we bring up the art of war. And there are those that, well that's from a different continent. That is, be blunt. There are those that would think, well that isn't even a white man. You know what I mean? But let's do it like this. If you are not entertained or don't think you can gain something, a 2,500 year old book. Well did you ever hear the name, what's his name? Let me think. Oh yeah, Klaus Witt. to even proceed this statement with. There are those that say it is in his career. It doesn't bring out what I'm... words can't describe. Put it like that. Klauswitz basically brought a modern order to... and you know what? He wrote it down. You can read his books, Operation and the ability to find hundreds of years old now. At least, you know, one of the main primers to be read by every soldier, every officer, going to be putting troops into the field or any individual who wishes to understand the art. Now if you don't think you can learn a whole lot from a book, I've had people tell me, what can you learn from a book? Honest to gosh, I've met people like that. But let's bring up an example, and sometimes we bring up examples from movies. How about that, what was his name that did Patton, Mark? What was that guy's, the actor's name? Oh, George C. Scott. Oh, George C. Scott. Yeah, remember the movie Patton? Remember after he'd defeated Rommel in North Africa? Remember him standing there on a ridge yelling, like, Rommel, damn you, I read your book! Remember that? Confident in his abilities to the extent that he thought he'd be a Klauswitz, you know, commit some of his basic, not some, good portions of and all of his basic tactics to a book, because he was so good at it. It was an inopportune. to write a book when an opposing general would read it. But many of Rommel's tactics are sound. If you can read Rommel's book, read it for a different instructional that, you know, well, gee, what are you going to learn from a book? Bad, bad time if you remember two cents from something and it fits in and it works for you. You'll be glad as all get out that you read that book. technical journals, so to speak, guys. Think about it. You rather than reinventing how to do gardening, don't we usually learn from the progressive knowledge of others? If we're working steel, do we decide that we think we can, I mean, we can come up with a different technique, but doesn't the basic war premise, how you work steel, isn't it delved and steeped in great knowledge and long experience? If you're working on a motor, once again I would say you're sitting there in the garage and they say to put it back or assemble it this way and you decide you've got some extra parts you don't really need in that motor. But at the end of the job when you put the new crank in, you've got all the pistons in place and all the rods and lines, a little pile of spare parts, you don't care because they don't know what they're talking about. Hey, it'll be faster, it weighs less. That's right. There'll be less resistance. Better destruction. There are some basic lines that are in place that help. Again, there are some basic premise here that are applied in every aspect of life no matter what it is. The same is true with the Art of War or what is called here in the United States also, military science. It's why we want to apply this. Everybody used to know this. This is what I talk about many times over the many years that we've been doing radio. It's why I call Americans generalists. We know a lot of things, guys. Specialization kills. Insects are specialists. They'll be keeping ants, you know, so to speak. They're little homekeeping ants. They have little queen ants. They have little warrior ants. And somebody goes in and kills one particular aspect of it and the rest of the hive is screwed. Critters would like to turn us into insects. But the bottom line is, is one of the things that's made Americans so dynamic is that we are generalists. We know a little bit of everything and we have a skill that is preferred or developed by us that gives us a single specialty or a handful of different specials. because we've worked in more than one trade and the trades overlap. The reason we can step into another person's position are shoes and the trade is not lost. The skill is not lost. Society does not fall. Okay? That's one of the advantages of being human as opposed to being in... Well, it's good to have an imagination to, again, know what you're doing. Can you imagine that a couple of brothers who ran a bicycle shop, going with this one, Mark, don't you? He's the first to fly a heavier-than-air aircraft on a bicycle shop. That bicycle shop changed the world, didn't it? Yes. Think about it. That guy wrenching on that bicycle, a little bit of imagination was thinking, you know, there has got to be a better way. Yeah. Let's think, wait a minute. What if we did this? What if we did, wait a minute. And we got this tubing. Hey, yeah. And then what kind of tubing can we use? This stuff's a little heavy. There's got to be something lighter. Hey, wait a minute. What about snap? Oh, that didn't work. Let's try this this way. That's the whole process, people. But because of being generalists, in other words, the can-do, this is the other half of it, the mental attitude. They want us to all become weasers. Oh, it's futile to resist, you'll be absorbed. There are a lot of people that are like that right now, dragging everybody else down in that respect. Well, guess what? Just reverses the case. Can-do attitude and the can-do attitude of America is what they've really wanted to destroy, but it hasn't gone away. So there's a lot of young people listening right now coming up and online that are going to be, you know, again, applying this. We have a lot of things that can be accomplished. But as Americans, people go, America is the problem because America is the problem. I'll tell you what, we can't fix the world. We cannot fix the world until the very thing that was a premise talked about, the whole idea, the house in order at least to some degree, the village in order, our own country in order. If our country is in chaos or is in all kinds of paul dural and nonsense people, then we don't have any business looking overseas. We don't need to worry about Georgia. We don't need to worry about the Middle East. You know what? They're going to do what they're going to do no matter what, guys. That's just the way it is. instead of this, oh we gotta go, oh get between the Israelis and the Arabs. No, no, no, no, no, the Israelis jumped in there and created the problems they got. They get their hind end stomped, congratulations. They don't get their hind end stomped, congratulations. Either way, it's not my fault. That's right, we're over here, they're over there. Now, of course, they wanna bring it over here so that we get involved and therefore we get into their mess. We don't want that either, we got other things to do. The light, for instance. That's why the founding fathers talked about great friends with all, knowing no long-term alliances, many of them. Friends in peace, enemies in war. Here we are, we're at the top of the area. Y'all wake up, get that cup of coffee, get on down the road. We got a lot to do. We've got to get up, it's Tuesday. Don has always got to bless the republic. Just as a new world order. We shall prevail, the empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march, both day and night. We're on the march
