Live 365 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? Is this still the land of the free? Home of the free? West, Southwest, North, and Northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're also on pbn.4mg.com and we're on Live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. You will also find us on AM and FM microstations, CV base stations, and UltraNet technologies both east and west of the Mississippi and southern and central Alaska along with other parts of Alaska headed towards the Aleutians. We're headed that way guys. We will make it to the islands and then we will start island hopping and we will work our way across to Hawaii. We might even be in Hawaii right now. We're not sure. We know we're being listened to in other forms of course and I want to say hi to all of our listeners not only across the United States but all over the world. Yeah, we know. Destroyers failed to intercept the torpedoes, and of course the captain of the Good Ship USS Corporation America, I mean corporate USA, and we're not talking the corporations, we're talking the corporation of the United States. They steered right into the torpedoes here, kids. Now, real quick here. Nothing that happened in the last week was a crisis, not one part of it. A crisis would mean that you're walking along and all of a sudden you're slipping on ice, there's a bed of nails in front of you and you weren't paying attention to the fact that somebody threw a little extra Water, shall we say, over top and it's fresh and you're kind of heading towards doom there, that's a crisis and you've got to deal with it like immediately, like immediate response because you didn't anticipate. This is not a crisis. Here's a book basically we've been dealing with here. First of all, it's a Ponzi scam that was set up by a bunch of racketeers, the same ones that are now stealing the money from you and the food right out of your children's mouths. To begin with, let's picture this like a big road in Arizona. Anybody ever driven in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico? How about Montana? Or maybe the Dakotas? Have you ever been on one of those long rubber band highways where it just stretches out forever? And you're driving along and it's not like, oh no no no no, oh my god the mountain's... Instead it's doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. You're listening to five albums and you still haven't gotten there. You've gone through your whole CD collection, all five of them you might have, or cassette tapes depending on what year it was, and you still haven't gotten to the mountains and you've started to replay again. Okay, hopefully you brought more tapes because it's going to be a long stretch of road. Then, okay, all of a sudden the mountains are there. Okay, well it doesn't quite work that way. You get to watch the mountains from a distance. hour after hour after hour after hour and there's no mystery that you're going to the mountains. Now that is exactly how this supposed, oh my goodness look a train wreck just happened. It's the same big long stretch of road all the way back to the beginning of this year and last year the year before that the last decade the decade before that All of this was talked about by people who try to explain that at course we know it's discretionary. They did this at, you know, they created the train wreck anyway, guys. We know this. But you're driving on this long stretch of road. Now guys, at any point you can start applying the brakes and you don't even have to stop immediately. But it's guaranteed that if you keep touching the brakes and you don't hit the accelerator anymore, At a given point, long before you hit the train wreck, you know that big pile of rubble with the spikes sticking out of it and the Banditos on the left and right, you know, waiting to rape, kill, pillage and burn everybody that's on the train once you stop in front of it or you run into the thing and create a train wreck, they'll just pull the stuff off the corpses, you know what I mean? Well, before you get there, all you got to do is take your foot off the gas, gradually work the brake, And you will stop on that long, flat stretch of road and you can still see where you could have impacted if you'd been stupid and gone on for another six hours at 100 miles an hour without touching the brake. Well, that's exactly what happened here. Even eight months ago, everybody was talking about this. So this was not a, oh my goodness, this was a, hey, rats and the rodents and the scum planned this. Rub that in with every person that you talk to. Was there any doubt, there are all kinds of discussion about this, and I will point out that my argument is discretionary anyway. They could have done this in 1995. They could have done this and planned on doing it in 1995. They didn't get away with it in 1995. They tried it again in the year 2000, thought they'd plug it in, tested to see where the water was going. That didn't go the way they expected either. We were better prepared and more people were listening to us than they were listening to the other side about party, hearty, eat, drink, and be merry. So they couldn't hit the switch. Well now they've gotten to the point where they're getting desperate. Why? Well I think we have been rubbing it in to a degree. They're getting old people. They are all dying off. How many of these scumbags have you already outlived? Ask every one of you the same question. How many have you outlived? How many of these bottom feeding parasites that thought they were going to be lords over you, that claimed they were going to be gods on this earth, and they are all with our Creator and He sent them wherever He wanted to. I don't think they went up. I think they kind of heard this as they hit the bottom end of hell, which is where they need to be. You tell me okay, was this an accident was this it was there failure here to communicate? No, there wasn't in fact now get your pen and paper ready There's a couple of different YouTube pieces out there. I want you I'm going to ask you all to go and check out as a beat number one Marshall law declared during bailout hearings question mark Marshall law declared during bailout hearings question mark Marshall Law Declared During Bailout Hearings, question mark right after the S. After hearings, right after that S, put a question mark. Now, that's one minute and 49 seconds long. You need to watch it. Pay attention to what that congressman is saying. It's Michael Burgus, okay. Now the thing about it is, most important here to understand and remember, is what he says about, and this is the same thing that happened with NAFTA and GATT, and boy look what that did to you. Oh, I'm sorry, I think they meant for you. Yeah, right, I'm a Chinese jet pilot. To you people, to you. Okay? Now, with the situation, the way it went here, these characters didn't read anything. Nothing. Nobody read anything. They even see what he says right there and they tried to push it through. They tried to drive it through. They wanted to run everybody over with this. Well, you're not just going to pay $700 billion once. They're talking about multiples on this, but that's just the flat number of people. Now, what's the interest on $700 billion? Oh my goodness. The old tales beginning to spin there on that one. Well, actually you see green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, blue, Kind of like when you roll a car. Ever had that happen? Green, blue, green, blue, green, blue. Same is true with this situation. The interest level is going to be outrageous. The situation is not going to get better. It's going to get worse. Now, starting at 19%, Nancy is saying that's the number they're quoting, starting at 19% on $700 billion with a B. That means you're saddled with, for every man, woman, and child in the United States, just for this first year, $30,000 in debt. for every one of you that's 18, if you know we change it and say it was just for people 18 years or older of age, $400,000 per person for the year. And you got $400,000 to pull out of your back pocket there real quick and throw at me? I didn't think so. And even if you did, how many times could you do that? Because you see this year, your first $400,000 comes due, next year, the same $400,000 comes due. Again. And by the way, next year will be the same way. And the next year. And the next year. And the next year. This is where you get up into stupid and ludicrous. Now, for those of you who didn't hear the first two hours, or the middle two hours we did today, we do a program from 10 to 11 on the micro effect in the morning. We do another program that is on LTRN, on We the People Radio Network, from five to seven. I spent two hours, and of course had our friends and allies up too, helping to explain the straw man process and how it works. Now here's the thing, real quick. What's happening is we've got these ludicrous numbers that never seemed to make any sense from the straw man racketeer, which is where they've created these bonds. They're all fictional, I'm compressing this by the way, but they're all fictional, and they're worth millions of dollars. And you'll go, huh? I'm saying yes, they're worth tens of millions of dollars. You signed to have them made. You signed to have the bonds made. They are against your name, against you as the collateral. Now, here's where the math comes in with the racketeers and how they're going to slave you the rest of the way. That sounds really crazy, except what did I just tell you about your debt that you presently owe? It's either $30,000 for every man, woman, and child. per year and it's going to multiply in quadruple and six-tuple over and over again or it's $400,000 for this year and another $400,000 for next year. Oh, and don't, we haven't figured the interest into this yet. The interest is going to change that number completely. We're just talking flat numbers in the ludicrous range. However, in order to indenture you publicly and to make you bondsmen, oh, you ever heard that term? Could that be a A biblical term, my young apprentice. A bondsman, as opposed to a free man. Take a look, biblically, where that stands, people. A bondsman. What the racketeers, the Talmudists, the parasitic international bankers, The SCUM in New York are planning on doing is publicly announcing that you will be taken as the collateral against this debt. The numbers are sliding up to match the ludicrous numbers of the straw man bond Then they're going to tell you that all of this fiction is a reality and they're going to declare that they own you for after all as all socialists will tell you the people or the property of the state comrade That's right. Remember that the people or the property of the of the state comrade Yeah So do you see how this math is working here? There's a sliding scale. One's going up, the other one's not coming down, but it's going to kind of crisscross. There's going to be a spot where they cross here, and then they're going to announce like they did back in 95, but they're going to go one step farther. At the governor's conference of 1993, 1994, 1995 respectively, the keynote speakers or other speakers made the flat out statement that the people of the states of the respective states are property to be bartered, sold, traded or exchanged at the discretion of the states. What? Now for anybody they'd think, well that's kind of figurative. No it is not. It is the reality. That's the world we're dealing with here. These people are slavers. They are slave traders. They are going to come in and they are going to declare you as indentured property. Step one is to barter, trade, and exchange you behind the scenes without you even knowing. Isn't that cool? Isn't that special? Isn't that just unique? Yeah, it is. We're going to show them just how unique we feel about this too in the long run, but that's another story. In the meantime, the rest of the information and database is at wethepeopledradionetwork.com. If you go to the archives, listen in to the two hours that we did today from 5 to 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Or if you want to have your own hard copy, what you can do is order an entire month of Liberty Tree Radio to you pick the month out and it's $15 as a donation, that cover stitch. What it is is a donation to help keep the lights on, to help keep everything plugged in. If you would like to order it, you can go to our PayPal site. That's right. Go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com and go to our PayPal site. Ed can generate a copy of what it is that you need, and you will have a hard copy of the programming we're talking about on disk. Either way, I don't care what you do, but I want you to listen to the two hours because it saves Mark having to repeat over and over again. Although I'll do that whenever I'm in conversation with somebody. But I'm not going to go back and go over the last two hours completely other than just give you the abbreviation I just gave you a minute ago. Bottom line, you're dealing with slavers. They're going to try and play the game. We're going to have to beat them down. We're going to have to scrape the table clean again. It is time for you to be men of liberty. Now that means you have to have liberty teeth and I know some discussions here real quick for anybody who's looking for AR-15 parts and pieces and assemblies. Well guess what? Right now Center Fire Systems has a bunch of cool sales going on with all kinds of trinkets at CenterFireSystems.com. CenterFireSystems.com. That's CenterFireSystems.com. systems dot com or you can go to we can call them at one eight hundred nine five zero one two three one again that's one eight hundred nine five zero one two three one now they do have some of the typical kits that i prefer get them all in one lump it includes every pin every spring the hammer the firing pin uh... the uh... trigger group it's our the trigger trigger uh... system itself as far as the internals And the total cost, this is an AR-15 lower kit by the way, correction, no firing pin. There are some that like that, this one doesn't have the firing pin. $59.99 for all the trinkets. Everything that goes inside the lower receiver. Every pin, every spring, all the dots, all the cross T's, the whole nine yards, okay? There are many, many other trinkets out there. You need to go to their website or get their latest flyer, quite extensive. and that's one direction to go. Now another thing, amoman.com is one. Amoman.com has air 15 mags and a bunch of other stuff pretty reasonably priced right now. They got a bunch of surplus. They also have some Taiwanese M14 mags. Now, Taiwan was planning on fighting the Chinese with these things. They make good mags. You can't tell the difference between them and the American contract because basically, hey, they're great at mimicking and their lives depended upon these magazines working. So they built them well. So for those of you who have an M1A or M14 like Don from Indiana, guys, you should have at least 20 plus mags for each of those M1As, preferably more. preferably more. Okay. Another thing real quick. For all of you who have .30 caliber rifles, you've got a .223, this won't do you any good. But if you have a .30 caliber rifle, Sabo accelerators, next week, during the week, don't do this on the weekend, but next week, between Monday and Friday, call 801-225-8125. to get hold of the information and order the discarding SABO cups that work with any .30 caliber rifle that you want to switch over to a hyper accelerator round. The cup will hold a .223, .50, or .55 grain, or .60 or .65 or .70 grain. Sierra Boat Tail spitzer based take your pick and they have both the alignment tools and all the other goodies you need very simple process here by the way people But for 30 caliber you're looking at pushing any of the 30 calibers about 5,000 little under 5,000 feet per second the flight time to target is non-existent Think about the velocities there Think about the distance covered and how quickly now my personal attitude little idea here want to drop this point if you got the sable cups when I get yourself somebody knows how to run a lathe or a CNC lathe ooh really cool go get yourself some drill rod and Have them do y'all whole bunch of 55 well would be a little heavier than 55 green not much But basically a mimic of the standard Sierra bowtail 55 grain projectile but done all in steel. You can also have it done in copper or you could have it done in bronze. Personally, I like the idea of steel. And I would not go with a tapered soft point, I would go with a razor point. Now, it's going to heat up a little bit in flight, but not that much in the distance traveled. And what you're going to have is the equivalent to a 30 out of 6 dark penetrator going down range at about 4,780 feet per second plus or minus. Guys at that if that velocity nothing stops it. No body armor. No sheet metal it goes through like a laser Okay, so this is a solution Sabo accelerators think about air defense everybody goes What would you deal with fill in the blank? Well at four thousand eight hundred feet per second or five thousand feet per second the flight time for leading ceases to be an issue Think about that So for air defense missions, this isn't a bad idea. And by the way, there are other metals that are denser than steel that could be used for the projectile to be made and set in the SABO cup. And they would be very, very effective. Okay, use your creative imagination. Come up with ideas. Anyway, hopefully giving you ideas. One more time. JND Components is the name of the company. You will be talking to John. The phone number is 801-225-7007. That is 801-225-7007. The website is www.jdcomponents.com. That's www.jdcomponents.com. Check out the site, you'll find out more about what's going on there. Now, we have another week before Knob Creek, but kids, that's just around the corner of the 10th, 11th, and 12th. If you are trying to teach people about weapons, and you are listening and you're within reasonable driving distance or even if it takes a little under a day to get there that's reasonable as far as I'm concerned right now because people we need to plug in and get to Knob Creek if you're trying to familiarize and teach individuals about many arms that otherwise you can't afford to own. Do you want to look at a BAR and actually be able to handle it and shoot it? It's there. You always talked about a Thompson, wanted to shoot it, see what it does, it's there. Are you worried about the MP5? Yeah, okay. Well, it's there. And you can shoot it on the range, by the way. Now, you're going to see everything from flamethrowers to 40mm cannon all the way down to 9mm and .32s. There'll be scorpions there. There'll be MP40s. There'll be anything you can think of. Now, there's two advantages. There's also a big gun show there. You get to see it on the range operational. And if you're a wise person, There are many individuals who are going to have a wide collection of arms on display. Some of these weapons cost $3,000, $4,000, and $5,000 apiece. Now if you are intelligent and wise, you would ask the individual questions about their weapon systems and let them give you a quick course by asking the right questions about how to feed it, how to activate it, What about stoppages? What are the most common malfunctions? What special needs are there for maintenance? See, by learning all of this first hand and putting it in the old memory box, you know what? You're going to be better prepared for the future that's now upon us. This is critical. Everything from a bolt action K98 or Moisin Egg Out Model 91 to GE miniguns are sitting there, guys, and a lot more. So, take the time, get there, there's a massive gun show, you need ammo, our mission this year, let's clean them out by Saturday. Let's walk in and clean them out by Saturday. That's the goal. Now, another thing, before we go to the break here, is Poker Face is going to be there this next weekend coming up. Poker Face, if you want to find out more about the schedule, go to www.pokerface.com. www.pokerface.com. Go to the site, it will give you the schedule. Hopefully we're going to have them live and up on the air in one form or another. We've got to check on phone lines down there. They should have the extra phone lines that we need into Knob Creek to the facility. And what we're going to do is set it up so that everything they're doing on the air is hopefully going to be available for the station, for the network. But we'll see what happens. We'll have to work that out. Other things going on at the same time down there, we of course have a Colonial Marine, what it basically will be an area meeting for the eastern part of the United States. They will be representing us from the west. The Colonial Marine meeting is going to take place on Friday and we'll probably have a follow-up or extension meeting on Saturday. Alright, here's the music. We're going to go to break. We'll be back in about three minutes here on Liberty Tree Radio. I heard a calling that was frightful I prayed for strength for what's ahead of me And I always stood before me was my end of my sleep When we were down in Texas a couple months ago, the band sent a couple of the final cuts for some of their songs down to one of our friends and got a chance to listen while we were there. It was pretty cool. So they are working diligently and we're probably going to hear some of the new songs and of course some of their traditional pieces down at Knob Creek while they're playing down there and they play right on the firing line guys right behind it which is really cool. So yes you get rock music with your weapons fire. Also don't forget weed burners are down there. For everybody listening I'm going to warn you a couple things during the day want to make sure you bring a hat make sure you bring a jacket just in case and rain gear If you are thinking about buying stuff, it's quite a ways from the parking lot areas all the way down Range Road to where the shows are. So what you need to do is bring a wagon, four wheel kitty wagon, bring yourself a collapsible cart. Whatever you want to to carry the stuff, estimate what are you going to buy, what are you going to need to carry it. Now, they do have mechanical mules going back and forth and the guys drop you off with your equipment if you want, and that's one of the things they've done for years. The mule is an airborne vehicle. It looks like a van, but with the body cut off of it, the driver sits actually in front of the axle and right over the edge of the vehicle itself. Really cool little piece of equipment. We have quite a few of them. In fact, one of our units here has about 32 of them. One or two of their spare parts and the rest are all fully operational. Picked them up over the years. And the mechanical mule is a very reliable tool and very much a part of the militia inventory. Now, we have butter knife here. And butter knife, we're going to follow up on something we've been going to make as a regular Friday tradition. And that is food and also support and supply. Basically quarter master work. We need to do this because we've got to start sharing data. So what have you got for us tonight? Well, I was doing a bit of general purpose shopping, mainly food related recently. So I thought I would call people's attention to some general sources of bulk foods or somewhat discounted foods, and at the same time announce a little data project that you and I have started. and not advanced very far just yet. First off, let me mention a grocery chain called Aldi's. A lot of people may not know about this. This is actually a German firm. They have stores in a lot of different countries, including the US. I know they have them, of course, in Germany and Australia and various parts of the planet. They started out as purely a discount dry goods store. And a few years ago, they started elaborating the stores a little bit. So now they have frozen and refrigerated sections and a little bit of produce and so forth. But their route remains a discount dry goods store. And they're very basic stores. They generally set up in a slightly low rent strip mall someplace, though they've been getting a little bit more palatable to the average consumer in recent years. They advertise very little. You bag or box your own groceries. They accept only cash or debit cards. I would recommend cash. These are one of these outfits where you put a quarter in the shopping basket in order to get it loose from the stack. That gets everybody to return their shopping cart for the quarter. So they don't have somebody running around in the parking lot doing that sort of collection. Everything they do is designed to keep their overhead down. Their goods are all private label. Everything they carry will be in one size. and will be one brand name. It's a store brand. And they will be comparable in quality to anything else you will buy in the regular grocery stores, but considerably less expensive. I took a look at their site. That's AldiFoods.com. There's very little on the site, but there is a store locator. So anybody that's interested can take a look. Basically, they cover from Texas north and east. They are not into the west coast just yet. About two-thirds of the country is covered to some extent by their chain. As an example, for instance, They do not have cans of Spam. They have, quote, lunch and meat, end quote, in a very, very familiar shaped can with exactly the same composition and food qualities and so on. Last time I was in there, I think those were $2.29 a piece. You can do $0.10 cheaper, I think, if you buy them quantity four at Sam's, but not by very much margin. So, their prices are comparable there. Unlike Sam's and Costco's, which are available and fairly inexpensive, all these do not track any of your purchases if you buy cash. There's no membership card, anything of that sort, and they don't bat an eyelid if you pull your card up and you've got four flats of this and six flats of that and so on. They just stack it in a... In the outgoing cart, of course, if you need to bag things, that's up to you to do it. You can buy grocery bags for nickel a piece. But basically, they have one person checking and one manager there and maybe a third person stocking. And that's about it. Anybody that's in an area served by those, I would recommend that they are an excellent general purpose stock up place. If you want, for instance, pasta, you will find, I think, a grand total of two shapes, spaghetti and elbow mac. And you will find one package size. But however many packages you want, just load them up and away you go. And typically they have a pallet of everything or more sitting there, depending on what it is. They actually have it on the pallet, so it's right there in the aisle. And if you did take the plate, if you want to stack the whole pallet and put it on a flat cart, they wouldn't care. Exactly, it's there to be sold and they wouldn't even blink. So the cool thing is this is a very user friendly facility for especially putting together the food you need to feed an army, which is what we're looking at here, or at least take care of the family. And again, in whatever increments. It's not Gordon food. It's not one gallon cans. These are in regular, like you're familiar with, the regular grocery store packaging. It's just a very narrow line of goods. hundred different brands of one item like beans, it's congratulations. There's string beans and there's pork and beans. Wow. And there's peas and there's corn and that's it. Well, they got some in each too. If you want a 15 ounce can, you're in luck. If you want a hundred 15 ounce cans, you're in luck. And if you want a number 10 can, well, sorry. So, you might want to buy a few extra can openers because you might wear one out. But aside from that, you're good to go. Also, they are very high volume. They turn over their materials very fast. And as such, everything is going to be as long date as you can get. Excellent. Now again, with regard to most of, we have all these in Michigan. We've got them in Jackson. I understand we're going to have one here fairly close pretty soon because usually people have to run down, like we have to go about a county away, so everybody plans out their trips. But once everything's in place with these new stores, there's a couple new ones they have coming up. Hey, we're talking about right in the backyard, which makes it very, very convenient. Another thing is they do have some seasonal items, but not very much. In other words, they do add a few things or change a few things that match the season of interest, and then they go on to the next product line. Whatever it is that they have, they don't really keep that much around. And you don't see any real markdown issues or anything there because whatever they have is usually they keep the play stock at about the inventory that they'd normally use. They know what their peaks and lows are. Which makes a big difference. Right, they do have a few surprising items from time to time. They will occasionally sell PCs or VCRs or what have you. It will be one strange brand of Medion. They sometimes have these foot diameter floodlights that are, I don't know how many, bazillion candle power. Sometimes they will have little bench style drill presses and sometimes they will have little electric saber saws and so on. That's very random. It changes from week to week and month to month. But it's also a small section of the store. Just a few yards of one aisle. But in general, they do not advertise very much. So you could have one a mile from your house and maybe not notice it. The best thing to do would be to go on a web and use the store locator and enter yours. If code something along those lines, see if they've got one. If it's a little distance, arrange with somebody who's got a pickup truck and two or three people head down there and fill a pickup truck. Exactly. And so again, there are opportunities as far as planning ahead, pool your money and resources up. assign a couple people, give them a list. Now typically they also print out what they actually have. They have a little newspaper that has both what they have in inventory and what the prices are. So everybody can grab a handful of those, bring them back to the meeting the next time you get all your allies together. Everybody can sit down and look at what they need and you give the person the money that they need to cover the cost. See there's a lot of ways you can use what is called economy in force. And this is where it basically works just like you would a normal quarter master operation. We need to be sharper at this. We already do this with supply and support right now with equipment, web gear, gas masks, whatever we can find. We're trying to do this with ammunition and other equipment too, by the way. So it's purely a matter of, and we have done in the past, we've ordered in blocks. many, many different items. And again, if you ever read the movie Patriots, surviving the coming collapse, remember the basic rule is case lots. Everybody learned to use the word case lots. And that's in all categories, no matter what it is. More is better. So what else have we got? OK, well, Mark, you have mentioned feed stores in the past. And those certainly are a resource. I've located one in my area. They sell entire skip load truck loads or they will bag things up a bushel at a time for walk-in retail customers. I will warn everybody that a bushel of wheat weighs a whole lot more than a bushel of rolled oats. They're the same great big bag, but plan on that if you're going to load up a truck or van or whatnot at your local feed store. Be aware that they are selling material with the basic intention that it's going to be animal feed. So do not expect it to be as clean as you would get from the grocery store. If you buy weed or roll boats or whatnot, your usage pattern should include spreading it out on a flat surface of some sort and picking out the little bits of weeds or whatever evidence of creatures may be found in there, etc. before you go ahead and throw it in the pot and boil up your oatmeal or whatever it may be. I have also found a local food wholesaler in my area. This one specializes in odd lots, distressed merchandise, near date, that sort of thing. So it's not a general purpose wholesaler. On the other hand, it's also a little more flexible in its operations. I sent Mark an email describing that one in some detail. That one, for instance, is not child friendly because it's a real live warehouse with real live forklifts running around and they don't want Rugrats getting under the wheels of the forklifts, et cetera. But some items there are extremely cost effective. 50-pound sacks of Pinto beans for $20, for instance. 80 pounds of table salt for $6. On down the list. Some items will be past date. Some will be close date. You have to use some judgment when you're buying things like this because some items the date doesn't matter very much and other items it does. For instance, I would have no qualms whatsoever with using pasta that is years out of date. because it just does not degrade very much. There's a tiny component of fat in it, but less than a percent in typical pasta. I would be more concerned about some canned goods. It varies depending on how acidic the goods are and so on. But there are quite a number of bargains that can be had at an outfit like that. What Mark and I thought to do Here we're going to solicit assistance and contribution from everybody who's listening. It's to suggest that people get out, find the local feedlots, find the local wholesalers like this one that I found, and do a little bit of eyeball reconnaissance. Find out what their hours and operating procedures are, whether they're friendly to walk up cash customers, et cetera. Find out what they carry. Because, for instance, this feed store that I have nearby does carry wheat and roll does, for instance, does not carry peanuts. So some will have this, some will have that, and some will not have things that you might want. I think I have a line on a third outfit that does carry peanuts, but I haven't been down there yet in person. But I would ask people to sniff around in their area, figure out who's available, and write them up and send an email to Mark because Mark just doesn't have enough things to do. And when we've got a few of these, preferably scattered around different areas of the country, we can use a generally naughty word, database. and make a list and make it generally available and therefore be able to direct people where they can go in their area for this sort of bulk items and help people stock up. If you know where to go that makes an enormous difference. Oh, as a side effect I'll
