Mark Koernke discussed weapons maintenance and preparedness on this October 15, 2008 morning broadcast. He covered proper firearm care for AR-15s, .22 caliber rifles, and other weapons, emphasizing the importance of understanding how to disassemble and maintain firearms. The show featured a caller from Ohio promoting the Dayton O'Hara Arena gun show and discussed distribution of "How to Find Us" information sheets at gun shows and public events. Koernke also covered militia training exercises, standard operating procedures, physical conditioning through primitive weapons practice like wooden swords and bows, and the importance of muscle memory in weapons handling. A second caller from Texas announced a field training exercise involving patrolling, scouting, and escape and evasion drills.
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 doctors so their children will be born. Her leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. 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, living 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 as I awoke he'd vanished in the mist 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free. Those who do victory for all of our brothers, behind the lines, in occupied territories. us on the micro effect network in the morning. We're also on libertytreeradio.4mg.com. We're on AEM and FM micro stations, CB Bay stations, technologies both east and west of the Mississippi, and Central and Southern Alaska, along with other places and also KU band satellites. So if you get a chance again, check out the micro effect website. Remember the micro effect has a chat room in the morning too. You can go to say hi to everybody. You might want to ask questions on occasion. There are people there that can answer. It's an ongoing stream, people. There is activity all over the place. Everybody sees what's going on. They're looking for answers. A lot of you are tuning in right now for that very reason. We understand that. As a matter of fact, with regard to answers, today is a special day. It is, weapon. This means one thing, not geosatellite or computer prounds for mapping guys, although those are nice. They're real flat. Yeah. They're supplemental. We need those, plus they're a little hard to carry in the backpack. The GPS can carry, but I consider GPS more like an enemy targeting system if you're carrying it. It's like, what the hell? You got incoming. Oh, they found us. Okay, well how about they... They hit us with the first shot, too. That's really weird. Plus the cell phone didn't help, you know what I mean? You ever see those shots of the lunar impact launches that took place? We didn't land, we just shot a satellite bullet at the moon. They never talked about those very much, but the quality was comparable to the more sophisticated. A lot of the imagery, they didn't really share with press cores to try and get as much data from the moon as they could. It would be with the zeroing in with a, when you're carrying a cell phone. Some people ask, well, how many cell phones do you have? And I have none. Now there's a reason for that. Nice, they're cool technology, but you know what, if I really needed one, I'll walk somebody, and if I had to, I'd give them five dollars to borrow their phone for a second. You ever thought about that? Hey, you know what? Want to make five dollars? You need to borrow your phone for a minute. Gotta make a call. Thank you. I'll give everybody at work that one. Five dollars a percent of my bill this month. She uses somebody else's cell phone whenever you need to, and there's no reason you couldn't. Why not? Be creative, people. Come on, don't just think, oh, I gotta do this because this is how it's done. No, you can do things differently. Another thing is if you're going to get on a phone, Mark, and we know about Cray computers and all of that, you know, hey, 50 cents in the phone booth. If there's one as close as the guy with the cell phone, you can make 10 calls at 50. That's right. And again, the most important here is that the technology that's available there, when it comes to local activities, communicate. Well, part of what people seem to forget is you don't use radios. or a signal communications in a combat situation like a telephone where, well you know, we're walking over here and we're really close to the fence and John just stood up and shot a shot at somebody, he made a lot of noise, oh it's really icky, and by the way did you see the soap opera last night? And, no, no, don't hang up, I'm really scared here, I need to talk some button, that's not how it works. There's that absolute minimal transmission with radio communications to your activity. It's called SOP, Standard Opera. Now why do we create SOP? group to group so one group can work in key in much like a transmission, you know, shifting into the next gear with another. So the small elements come one big element when needed and they all kind of got their plan from the same fiddle. That's right. Important thing there is that you get, you don't have to give orders. You don't, okay, if I say that too many times, anyway, one individual will do that under certain conditions because their standard operating plan is to give, lock and load. You make sure that there's one In fact, actually, the reason the squad leader's job is to actually check the weapons and check the equipment of the individuals to make sure that everybody has what's needed because an individual who has not properly forgotten something becomes a less effective part of a team. Okay? This is true all the way up through the tiers of command with regard to standard operating procedure. At each level, there are certain things that will automatically be done that do not require an order. They're part of the standard activities of a formation or like a from an individual all the way up with battalion division. There is another reason for this. I'm going to give you a little basic management. All of the young militia commanders over the years give a minimal number of orders. Here's why. Everybody out there, if you give an order, the next time that you do something, every time for that order to be given in many cases, they'll expect that order to be given or you to take from your moment, you know, from the time that you have so many moments and instruct. You don't have to do that. You have saved time and become more efficient. This is why it's part of what's called economy in force. It's the economy in resource time, you know, the lack of time consumption. Once we have standard operating procedure in place and it is appropriately applied, people, then only the orders that need to be given are what we might call tweaking orders. In other words, I need to reapply the force. I need to give them a supplemental order to point the troops in a certain direction. You see how that is? Of course, that's very nebulous when we say point them in the right direction. That could be the mess hall this way. They just change locations for it. The mess tent's over there over here. See, those are supplemental orders where something's happening and you need to change procedure for a moment. But otherwise, the tighter that you are as individuals with regard to activity, The faster you move, the more time you have to do something else. Example, fire team. Recover over by that ammo truck, you're going to issue out equipment, we're going to issue out so many rounds of ammunition, bandoliers, RPGs, laws, vipers, whatever. We're going to issue out a viper per person. Move now. I shouldn't have to be coming over there and find a whole bunch of guys milling about and somebody scratching their butt and the other person picking their nose. They should be over there and the squad, the job of the squad, of the fire team leader, is to have everybody already lined up square away and ready to go if they aren't already issued the stuff by the time I get over there to the ammo truck to check on the detail. The simplification, that's just something that pulled out of the air, that's an example right there. The process of each individual doing their part in applying standard operating procedure. In other words, the squad knows it needs to line up. The squad knows that they need to have, for instance, maybe their identification ready because you're going to confirm the individual that's signing out for something. And yes, you still do that with a little mini bureaucracy that's in place when it's a more eps. On the other hand, there may not be a whole lot of signing out because nobody really cares. Since we pulled it off, somebody else is cold, they're cold dead fingers, you know, the bad guys. The point is that you help to make the process work more effectively. This gives you more time to focus on details that need to be tuned or tweaked. You're operating procedure with your weapon, for instance. Let's go right down to the individual. Mark should not have to tell you to clean your firearm. that works. Hey, it would be a good idea for everybody to take 15 minutes and clean their firearm right now. Now I might do that, but on the other hand, here's the thing. That weapon is designed to keep you alive. Provided you integrate with that weapon properly and you learn how to operate it and maintain it, that weapon will keep you alive. Now the fickle finger of fate and the acts of God that may take you from this planet, be it walking out in front of the house here this morning and grabbing the newspaper and ignoring that semi truck that's going to take you out, Or the bullet that catches you on the battlefield at that particular moment, tuck wah. That's how it works kids. Okay? That's just how it is. So with that being the case, you all got to remember that the better you do, the more likely one of those performing the proper actions ensures the survival. And weapons maintenance is your problem. Now that doesn't mean somebody can't come along and make a recommendation, hey, I noticed you might want to check that muzzle, I don't know what you were doing. had it muzzle down which is one of the reasons I don't like the muzzle down program. But you've been plowing dirt with it. You've got a couple of clods stuck in the end of that air 15 flash hider. It would be a good idea to poke it out there. You know what I mean? You can do that but most of it, and I guess I'll give you the best example, some movies try to be more realistic and try to be more accurate. An older one that most people don't watch, because there are all kinds of other cool movies to watch, is The Big Red One. It's got a lot of people that you would recognize in the movie, including Mark Hamill. But you'll notice something. One of the things about that movie is that it showed the inane, the things that most people don't take for granted or they don't teach through imagery in Hollywood for a reason they don't want you to. You'll notice that whenever they stopped, and several times while they're just there they're sitting down and resting but they're not resting the guy immediately pulls out his uh... shaving brush and he's dusting the site off he's dusting off the receiver the rifle is dusting the weapon off at key points and they're all doing that they're all checking the weapon real quick before it'll put the brush back in the pocket he's back to work okay he's back to sitting down relaxing but the first thing that they were doing is maintaining their firearm because that weapon keeps you alive that puts a bed that puts rounds down range keeps bad guys really focusing on an accurately engaging you This is a good thing, it keeps you breathing, okay? That's part of your job on the battlefield. Well, it's true with grandpa's Model 12 that you inherited. It's true that old Savage Boat Gun. It's especially true that AR-15 you wrote. You know what, the beam counters brought us a rifle that requires so much maintenance that, you know, if you have not known this, you will learn this. The AR-15 is the most clean, crazy rifle you will possibly ever own. If you have an AR-15 and you are assuming that I looked inside the chamber and Sheila are lucky inside the upper receiver with a bolt carrier back and she looks clean. In fact, it looks just like the rest of the anodized surface on the outside. Well, that's very deceptive because you see, unfortunately, the AR-15 defecates where it eats. I could use another term, but I think you all understand what I mean. In other words, the gas system, actually what happens is the bullet goes down the barrel. As the bullet passes the gas port, the unburned gas pushes back down through the gas tube. However, that gas is directly applied to the little tit on the top of the bolt carrier. Now, when it pushes that little tit back and which pushes the bolt carrier back, any unburned carbon that is passing through the gas system comes back and works into the area where the bolt carrier and all the other fun things that make your weapon. can open up the AR-15 and what happens is this, that carbon is a fine gray matte material. It mimics the inside or the normal finish of the rifle because it looks enough like it and because of the crystalline structure of the material that you can look in there and go, well it looks pretty uniform and normal to me. Now if you have had that brand new rifle out a little bit and you start shooting it and you wonder why, man I'm getting hang fires. Oh she doesn't want to extract. Oh she doesn't want to eject. Oh she doesn't want to, oh man this is good. Didn't even pick up a round the last time. Arrrr. Pull out the magazine, extract the round that failed to extract. Oh the case, you know, I might have to tap it out. Well that's a good sign that your AR-15 needs a lot of tender love and care. It's time to break out Mr. Cleaning Kit and do some work, okay? Now let me tell you why I would say this is not a new thing. By the way, there are two other weapons that are very common. One is one all of you have had. At one time or another probably, or if you're a new you will have and you will make the same mistake with. The .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle. Because of the nature of the .22 caliber rimfire round, we have the same problem. When it fires, it's the blowback system typically. The powder that is unburned or the carbon that is developed from the charge, as it is extracting, the carbon builds up in the bolt face area and in the channel where the bolt rides. Progressively, your weapon will start to malfunction. It will seem a little greasy at first, still work, a little bit. Then all of a sudden you will have failure to fire or failure to extract or you will have what we call a stove pipe ground. And a stove pipe ground is where the round actually, instead of feeding directly into the tube, what will happen is it will angle perp and turn the bowl, etc. Either when it, after it's fired and you've got an empty case or sometimes a loaded case. There are other problems there that could have developed. But 99% of the time, here's what's happening. That poor little .22, some automatic rifle, was made to be the cheapest firearm on the planet to build. Okay? Inexpensive to use because of cheap ammunition. That cheap ammunition is very dirty. They use the cheapest powder, they use simple brass, now the Russians use steel case, and they use lead, conventional lead. So there again, a probability that if you start to have any kind of problem with your semi-automatic 22, a cleaning issue. Now you can't just spray a little WD-40 in there and goop some stuff around and go, it looks better now. Yeah, that's not how it works. Or I just put more lubricant in there. She worked great for 15 minutes. And then that darn thing started to act up again. Well, that's because you see you lubricated. You turn the carbon into carbon mush. And the carbon mush slid around really well for a little while. But have you ever planed wood? Now, when you plane wood, just like when you have carbon on the rails of anything like this in a fire, what happens when that contact surface slides along where the carbon buildup is? Would that peel down just like wood chips on a piece of wood there? Where does that go? Even if it's a tenth of a millionth of an inch, pull the trigger again, you're just taking off some more metal. Yeah, think about it. And that carbon builds up in all the nicky little places where your bolt was supposed to rest comfortably. The reason you're having a failure to extract, you're to eject, or you're for the system to actually function properly, typically is because the carbon built up, as it's shaved off, into those little crevices and corners where your bolt is supposed to rest. You need to find a good bore cleaner and you know slash weapons cleaner. You need to disassemble your weapon in many cases, sometimes in the 22s because of the intricacy, although that shouldn't be the case, you need to learn your firearm inside and out. You want to at least take the receiver group and you know out of the Woodstock and get up inside and underneath there and clean that puppy out really good. Follow the instructions in the manual. Now here's the other thing. If you do not have a manual, I'm going to tell you a little secret here. Although you've got to be, if you sign up, some people will just say, I don't want anybody to know I have these weapons. That's good. Find another address or a friendly address where you can have stuff sent to and you can give them a BS name. But you can go right to either, you can go on the web and can find the manuals in many cases or you can go to the write the company or phone the company, just get a find of who it is, if it was Ruger, Savage, or Winchester, whoever, and you call them and they will send you typically manuals for any of the firearms that they've produced. They do not have them or they say that they're out of print. There are a multitude of companies and parts of the industry that have made exploded diagrams and breakdown books For almost every existing firearm, and many that don't exist in production anymore. In fact, I'd say about for the last hundred years, 99.999999% of those firearms are covered out there. When I was younger, I focused on books all the time. But when I was younger, I got hold of a whole bunch of really cool NRA exploded diagrams. It was a Cobs, it was another company. exploded diagram books. Each one would have 200 firearms in each book. Simple paper, 8 1 by 11 format, nice pictures, and it shows you how to disassemble and then reassemble the firearm. The pistols, shotguns, .22s, center fire rifles, and submachine guns, and okay. So if you want to learn about firearms and you're patient and you really are concerned about your life and keeping you, you know, keeping yourself breathing, and you need to know everything about the firearm. that you plan on carrying or that you plan on putting food on the table with. You know what, people are thinking, well, I wouldn't carry a 22 in combat. Yeah, you wouldn't do that, but you might take that 22 and go out and go bunny-getting. If you're out bunny-getting or whatever and you pull the trigger and there's no ticky-no-washy, it's very embarrassing when you don't come back with no bunnies. and now everything else is worn out, broken down or hungry. You know what I mean? You got nothing to feed your gun. You'll wish you had that .22 in your pocket. Oh yes, I'm telling you. We had a policy, and this has been the case, I don't care what you have in the way of a handgun people. Somebody would say, well, a little H&R .22, what's that going to do? Makes you feel better when you're in the field and at least put a bullet down range. Okay, so if you... There's enough to avert that ban. make that guy think, because he's just about to ban it yet. That's right. Not to mention, guess what? And one thing about the .22 that is nice if you're going to carry a .22 or grandpa's little bulldog .22 from say 1910, as long as it's clean and functional, it fits into a small space. It can be even carried in a mag pouch with about five, six or seven boxes of ammunition. And you've got three in it carry plus the pistol. And it barks like a dog. Ain't nobody going to stand there and go, gee, I wonder what you're shooting at me with? If people see a bullet, hear the kapok and see a bullet impact, you're going down range. Now, preferably that doesn't happen. You hit them. As long as they see flash and they hear a kabang, typically they're not going to stand up and wonder what you're shooting at them with. Okay? So it is good that everyone carry a separate single firearm as a backup. 22s are very, in fact, look at all the different Papus type guns that are out there, Don. Even 007, yes, Mr. Bond. had the what they do is remember years ago when from russia with love you saw the air seven which was doesn't explode of an exploding round at the simple air seven twenty two caliber semi-automatic holds up into the box dot kind of rifle marlin made a camp a little camp twenty two like that that folds up the papoose firearms that are out there even the little squirrel rifles can be uh... you can fix them up accordingly so they could be carried you know shot by an adult and they break down into two pieces and can be carried for about a half pound of weight guys. Well about a pound. Alright, well I thought that was wake up again. Where am I? Who is that? Well anyway, we have a phone call. We have a caller. Who is it? We got you this morning. Go right ahead. Hi, this is Andrew from Ohio calling. Hey Andrew. And there's a gun show in Dayton, Ohio this weekend. Go ahead and give out the particulars please. Okay, Dayton, Ohio. Oh go ahead and uh, you know what? That's the Dayton, Ohio gun show. That's a pretty big show by the way guys, for anybody who isn't familiar with it, if you're in the Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana area, or up here in Michigan, the Dayton O'Hara gun show is, what did it look like the last time? Did you make it? I haven't been up there for a few months. Same, it's been a pretty decent ammo selection, it's not what it was a few years ago, but it's completely dried up either. Find what you're looking for. Off I-75, exit 58, need more road. exit and there's the brown signs that say Hararena everywhere. They actually have them on the expressway to guide you in so to get to the date. The Dayton O'Hara Arena is a massive event centered complex, has good parking and it has a Dayton O'Hara ham fest about for years and the park is used as a radio bazaar where anything and everything comes in but this is the gun show that's down there. Again Dayton O'Hara Arena. Now here our goal is, it actually, I know I hate to do this but Our goal, just like Knob Creek, is to clean that place out of every round of ammunition they have, guys. That's what we're trying to do. Anything else, Andrew? Yes. Anybody going to... I just want anybody going to bring to how to find... I'll tell you what. ...receptive audience. Yes, we need to do that. As a matter of fact, thank you very much. We need every... Well, stay right there if you can. I know we're going to hold for the break, and we'll talk about that in a minute, okay? Okay. This is the Intel Report. We'll be back in three right here on the Micro Effect Network in the morning.

Be sure and say that you heard it on the micro effect. Through the years of providing water filters to America, you've come to us and we've listened. You asked us to make the water level visible to eliminate the guesswork when refilling the water. We listened. You asked for an elevated base so the system could be used in places beside on the edge of a counter. We listened. You asked us to develop a filter that was made in the USA. We listened. You asked us to include an emergency light for camping and during power outages. We listened. After 9-11, you asked us to develop a filter that was more powerful in removing chemical agents. Again, we listened. Introducing the Berkey Light. The gravity filter requested by America, designed by Americans, and made in America. Get the Berkey Light, the American Water Purifier.

We'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. I'm going to keep Andrew around before. Are you going to be down there giving out or are you going to be able to get out how to find his sheets this weekend? I don't think I'll be making it up there this weekend, but what do I bring to how to find sheets? One of the things I went through, we went through six, and this is not an exaggeration, in fact I went through more, but what I did is I printed six How to Find the Sheets for Knob Creek. I mean we handed them out as quick as we could hand them out. And interesting, I think a lot of people, for information and people, a lot of people didn't, you know, like that would normally be there, didn't show up. And one of the things that happened is people were reaching out, and I mean, somebody saw that I was giving them stuff out. People were actually stepping forward with their hands out and wanting one now. Wanting it now. They want it right now. Not later now. It's a response across the board. Everybody is hungry. We've planted seeds for years and everybody knows something is wrong. All we need to do is get them plugged into the right direction the rest of the way so that they aren't out in the cold. Knock of the undertow, so to speak, after the wave hits. We want everybody up on the crest of that wave and riding the slats off the other side. I greatly appreciate you being able to do that. I want to thank you. There are plenty of people there who have been preparing for years and they have never heard of any of these radio shows. It's just that they know there is something wrong and there are people who are way far ahead of being on square one. Exactly. And it's good to get everybody connected together. Well, that's what we're hoping to do. And again, answering a few questions there. You can go to the Micro Effect and find the schedules because a lot of you are wondering, well, how can I find out what's going on? When you go to the Micro Effect Network page, all the ways to link up with us are there. the different ways to tune in or to help out with the Micro Effect Network because again they need assistance and they also need rebroadcasters too. The cool thing about the Dayton O'Hara area, O'Hara Arena, is that there are a lot of people that go to both those shows I'm talking about so they're already in communications. We have some phenomenal micro FM stations that came from the Dayton O'Hara Arena contacts I made years ago that are in the Columbus area broadcasting right now. and these guys have linked up so well with the local community that even the local police call the little micro stations and give them the traffic reports in the morning. They realize, we've never had a service like this for years where you can call local micro station and you can tell them, hey guys, we've got a traffic accident at the corner of Schmidt and you can tell everybody to avoid that by taking such and such a road. They actually do that. You can't do that with the big boys. Yeah, you can have a million watt radio station in the area, but it doesn't do the local service any good. That's exactly what they're able to do, and it's been fantastic. It's also meant that a lot of these men and women that are in uniform have found out a lot more about what the Patriot Movement's really about. Everybody, they find out that people have already been, have already been informed, and they know who these pop, looking liars are in these different agencies and such, if they try to stir stuff up. It is critical that we get the how to find this information out. any of these gun shows, any public operations, especially, and here's another one, not just gun shows, these bank closings, guys, if there's bank closings going on, there's, you hear about a lineup of people, make a whole bunch of the how to find us sheets, walk down and give one to every person who just got burned. That's, that will, it'll help them to understand where they need to be. Andrew, anything else? I'm sorry. Oh, that's everything. Appreciate it sir. Go ahead and give that information. One more time for everybody. Listen, if you're in the Midwest, we got a big gun show coming up. Where is it? How do they get to it? State and Ohio, here, 575, exit 58, need more road. The brown signs are all over the highway. It'll take you right there. It will take you to the place. Get to the gun show. Get there now. Well, this weekend anyway. Speaking of Arnold, have you ever seen Terminator 3? Remember at the end, when John Connor, boyfriend, in the bunker. Right. And all the equipment worked. There was a... This isn't hooked up to Skynet. That's the whole point, sir. And remember when he got the radio transmission? The M-Warg, they said this is the Montana Civil Defense. They're in militia. Yeah, but... Security Force. That's my favorite, guys. It's like watching Jericho. The father's talking to the son. If you ever watched that series, we were laughing all the while we were watching it, because he goes, your daddy carried this all through World War II, Normandy, and this is how he fought World War II. Everything you need to know is in that book. We're going to form a security force. But you want to reach the lens and slap the bugger. In America, we call it militia because that's what fought the original war guys, and that's what we've had in this country ever since. And anybody who wants to come up with any of the other... I mean, that doesn't mean we don't use other terms, because each state has, by the way. But they're militias. That's the bottom line. They're all militia forces. Okay, so if anybody is ashamed or afraid to use the militia word is playing into the enemy's hands Because the enemy of course would like to change our vocabulary want to tweak us and make us weenies Well, the militia is strong alive and well and you know what? With what I saw this weekend with all the friends that visited us guys down there at Knob Creek and we got a chance to talk to and I didn't get a chance to look at anything at the show. I'll tell you right now. I think I spent five minutes looking at things. It was people. Contact with people. Contact with people. New and people we've known for years or people that have known us for years and known about what's going on but didn't get a chance to see us. Wave upon wave upon wave. It was standing room only. And another thing, at the end of Knob Creek I got a chance to talk to the owner. He acknowledged that from the door it was the largest Knob Creek they've had in decades. That was his words. That was Saturday night by the end of activities. Everybody was hungry. They wanted things. Andrew, I'll tell you what. I'm going to let you go. Thank you, sir. I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot. God bless. Mark, I want to get real primitive here. It's something that some people are going to walk away. But you know what, you guys, there's a gun show coming up and you get that gun show, if you walk around you'll probably see the guy with the knives and swords and whatnot, you know, displays and you can sword or whatnot. And if you get real good at it, you can probably hack a watermelon too or a pineapple or something. But you know what, you're going to pay a lot of money for that these days. If you look over in the right part of his rack, you might get a little wooden sword and take that. You'll give them $5 or $8 for it. Take that, take it home and work. This is so primitive. Again, there are a lot of people saying, you're going to poo poo this idea. But you're going to work up footwork, you're going to work up balance, you're going to work up distance from person to person with that. And you're going to work up a whole lot of ways to deal with the person that's encroaching on your distance. Now, you can take that thought line and explore the rest of your life with that wooden sword. Okay, that's just a thought. Here's another thing that's really, really primitive. You guys, you know, it's bow hunting season here in Michigan. And some of these guys, they pull an 80-pound bow, Mark. 80 pounds is a lot to pull across your chest. Granted, you know, these high-tech bows, they'll come to a release where some of them will drop off 60% of the pull. Even if it just drops off half, that's turning an 80-pound bow into 40 pounds at the hold. But you know what? You pick up that bow when you pull it 20 or 40 or 100 times a day. Even if you don't take it out into the field, if you know someone who has that, who's a bow hunter, hey man, can I just exercise with your bow? Well, you might like that thought, because you know there's wear and tear and whatnot. So, get your own bow. Now, there's another reason why you might want to get your own bow. Hey, think about this, you guys. Mark that drawing action of the bow. What muscles do you use? And you guys think about this, even if you're just working with one of those seven and a half pound rifles that bring that rifle up to the shoulder, what muscle do you use? No, PEX forearm. Yes. That's right. What kind of muscles you're using when you draw that ball. That's right. In fact, what you're doing is creating muscle discipline because, and this is especially true with weapons, and this is Weapons Wednesday, guys, your body is a combined arms team. The mind commands the muscle, the body. The mind can get the body to do anything, no matter how badly damaged it is, override any pain, control any element, create whatever discipline. For that reason, when you get a chance to use these other systems, you are exercising the body in ways that will stabilize it, create discipline in the system, allow you to literally and this is true, I've tried to explain to people, I don't need to touch a weapon, people are going, well what about all these problems? I don't need to touch a weapon right now. I can close my eyes and physically, anybody can, anybody's been around me, AKA M14, M1 rifle, M1 carbine. When I'm doing that, you know what's happening? My body is shifting and my hands are shifting because of the memory, the physical active memory of using that arm. In darkness, with my eyes closed, I absolutely could confirm the weapon by first touch. Anybody out there knows you do the same thing. Somebody hands you a 12 gauge, the weapon with the feeling the arm, in absolute darkness, because of familiarity with the arm, just touching it, you can confirm the model and make. And everything else kicks in because it's automatic response. It's discipline through training. and discipline through training in muscle memory, so to speak, is part of what's happening there. It also includes how you actually shoulder the weapon, how you would actually function with the weapon, how your body will respond with the weapon and why, for instance, you lean into the arm in different ways. You actually adjust your body for what you know is going to be the felt recoil and the response of that weapon when you pull the trigger. Okay? critical We don't need to exercise and we're going to be lean real fast. This is one thing. You get lean real quick when the meals are farther between anyway. What's comical is how many people grossly underestimate other people. There are men that I have known that they're big framed. They look, in fact they are heavy, but they're heavy naturally. Let me give you an example of this. Years ago, it used to be, there's a couple, a lot of these guys are now not dead and gone, but they don't do much radio anymore because it's not in vogue. Before the age of steroids, when football teams used to be football teams, how did they find linemen? You know what the recruiters used to do? They went out to workplaces where men worked for a living. Not trained to become molded football players through a regiment starts out in high school and goes on through whatever they went out to wisconsin in minnesota places where guys he loved you know could he've to bob bill to pay with one hand demand big enough to do that i have they look for men who were naturally big naturally fortified and strong that's where the term built like a refrigerator came from not that they are grossly There's a kid that I grew up with, in high school he was a terror on the football field. And I don't play football kids. But this young man at the time, I'm six foot tall and I had to bend my head back and look at him. He literally was like a freezer standing there, like a refrigerator. I will say this, he enjoyed playing football because he could legitimately hurt people. And you know, just, that's exactly how he was. He wasn't a big talker, but you know what? If he started chasing you, you better be a good runner. Because even though he was built like a refrigerator, he was clocking with a quarterback. And I'm serious, if you ever saw this combination running, the only problem is eventually anybody can be overcome by another team. The point is though that when he would run, he could run and he could pop and sprint with a quarterback, guys. And this man was a force to be reckoned with. So I laugh at these fools who do the, well, yeah, he's a, you gotta do this. They're all disciplined, they're all conditioned, all this BS that comes off television. First of all, ergonomics, there's a reason we make things different sizes, because people come in different sizes, okay? We don't need, they're almost doing to men, it's comical to a degree. They're doing to men what they've done to women. They always lament it about women for years. Well, you've got to be this shape and you've got to starve yourself and this and any other. You've heard this for years in the control press where they were lamenting about that. Back in the 70s and 80s, especially, this was common. Well, they did this the same with men. You must be this perfect. No. In fact, I don't want this nice uniform. All my troops the same size. You want to know why? You ever had to go down into a tunnel space? You think a 6'8 guy is going to fit real well into a 4'8? I'm not going down in that tunnel, Captain. I've got to crawl around. It's really embarrassing. That's why guys, men of different sizes have different direct applications in combat just like anything else. I'll tell you what, you look at our training videos. We have people who are literally, the term midget comes to mind, but they're just a hair bigger. I wouldn't want to mess with them. Know that number one, those young ladies and those young men, Yeah, but if they put a bead on you, you're going down. You're going to put you down with a .30 caliber rifle or with a 9mm high point, just like anybody else can. Or that bow. Or that bow. Know what? That edged weapon at very high speed. Unless you hit the chicken plate, it's going to go through most exactly all body armor. It's true. That's something that they, that's something, and we've talked about this, about second chance. This is the home of second chance. In fact, Don's right down the road from second chance. Okay? We've got another call, Mark. And body armor guys, edged weapons, they don't guarantee against all edged weapons. It's a little secret of the industry they don't like to talk about. Who on the phone? This is Mike Luce, Dex. Hey, Mike, what's going on? I'm Mark Haddam. Hey. I just wanted to put it out one more time about our field training exercise we're going to have this Friday night. We're going to meet up late Friday night and get dropped off out in our area of operations. And we're going to have a backpacking field training exercise and we're going to be practicing mostly patrolling and scouting, escape and evasion. And then we'll be getting picked up back up again Sunday morning and we'll be going to a rifle range for 100 yard rifle qualification. And if someone would like to go, they can get in contact with us by going to our website, 3wzina.tari, h-u-t-a-r-e-e, That's tarrytexas.net. This is by invitation, so if you go to our website and send us an email, we'll send you one back and invite you. Give those contacts out. We'll send them twice. Two more times each, please. Just get in contact with us by email. You can get our email address by going to our website. Our website is 3w.hootarehutare-tarry. And again, you guys are going to be out there for the weekend. We'll remind everyone, Kerry, just a little bit of, you know, slash of extra socks. So all those popcorn pockets are made for, right? Sure. And might possibly need a small light tin and a small light slippin' bag. It's a legend. And frame the way we practice so we fight. be able to just as we trained and we don't want to be miserable or lose our edge out in the field. We want to see Frosty and ready for the other side. Again, you know, real quick, Mike, you were here for the Hautari exercise that took place last month. Yes, sir. It was a great exercise. And a good time was had by all but a lot of opportunity to work with people from all over the Midwest. You came back with some critical experience there, didn't you? That with the exercise this weekend with the men who participate, men and women. We remind everybody again that it's focused. Train as you will fight, or you will fight as you have trained. That's most important, so stay focused, no ones are pointed, know exactly what, and again, standard procedure is for the team. Mike, that's your job, and the job of the men are going to be participating to ensure that everyone came for the weekend and progressively trained the men and women into operating procedures so that you can trim things out, make things, everyone's gonna take a full combat load, This is real important for everyone to get out in the field with the gear that they plan on using so they know how it works and be familiar with it. They will know what works and what doesn't work so they won't have to be called out, store the Constitution. We won't have to discover in the field what we should have brought or what we didn't need. We want to know in advance. Thank you, Mike. Be careful. That was Mike down in Texas. I want to say thank you for the call there and again for all of our militia format. Everybody across all of the 50 states. Militias are at all 50, Steve. Force strength. is actually almost every formation. The biggest problem, and I will say this, the most common complaint I've had, and I will say this, I told you so. This is not a bad I told you so is a lot of people were lamenting because they weren't ready for the influx. When I spent a little time with the Virginia militia here almost a month ago, now it doesn't seem like the time is traveling and I got to go to the care. One of the things that everybody said was, well, we didn't anticipate, you know, fill in the blank. Well, part of these formations weren't hooked up necessarily to the Patriot movement because it's like Andrew said, been working independently. There are so many militia units out there you cannot, the other side would like to but they can't. There's no way to count them people, it's that simple. However, be prepared with standard operating procedure for in-processing new people, especially where you have hard chargers. Don't waste that resource. Make sure that the people are brought up quick, but do not cut corners. basic rule, we have a phenomenal safety record. In fact, this is something that we built up the cadres and we drilled certain processes into our people so that we made sure that when the time came and they plugged in that they would be operating the same as we have. Now, we have different experiences. Each person does. Don has areas of interest that are unique that there's no sense in Mark. Well, we do overlap, but there's no sense in Mark working on because Don can save us a great deal of time. Don, your specialty is night vision and personal defense at close range. Close orders, combat. That's right. I don't want to get close to you because I know exactly what's going to happen. Sure, but how do you get there by training? You have to have that want and you have to have that push to get you there. And if the things that are going on right now in the nation and external aren't enough to get you to want to get better. go ahead and pay attention to football. It's the football season and you might make money on that football pool, but oh well. Only say buy more ammo if you do that. Yeah, but you have to have that want. And if you look around, there's plenty of want, much like you said, Mark. The nation is hungry. Yep. And right now, and here's one of the other things real quick, is with most people, I do not want to see like you see in these BS movies, my favorite is the latest Dr. Jones movie, right? The question is firing in 1911-45. He's carrying ammunition on the belt. He fires with a .45 and then throws the pistol off to the side and is running. Okay guys, that pistol ain't that heavy. If you thought that weapon was too heavy and it's slowing you down, I need to take and stick this number 10 and a half boot up your butt. That's exactly. The basic rule is you are using hand to hand because you have been stunned, you have lost equipment, you are in a situation where you have to go hand to hand to neutralize a target so you can get his. Well when you think about that wooden sword you can do the stick you guys and you create over time and practice the arches in front of you that would become defensive motions and turn immediately. How about the sweep of the middle of your M1 with the bayonet on the end of it and drawing the blade across your opponent's throat. All in one motion. A block and a strike, all in one motion. Who's wrong? In fact, once the discipline is in place, anything can become a weapon as needed to get you out of a situation too, exactly. Once you want, in fact a boom handle works just fine for a clobber and the bugger just long enough to stun him and get close enough to do what needs to be done to get the job done. Exactly. And again, we will use whatever we have at our disposal to accomplish the mission, but in the meantime, you all have to get up, get away, get to work, we'll be back tomorrow morning, microfetch is going to continue. We got Frank coming up next year on the network, so stay tuned. God bless the Republic. Hoorah! We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on a large, bold day ever. And side by side, when you don't have something, I reach forward, give you what you need, and we work better together as a team. Thank you, Don. God bless you. God bless you, America.

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 US 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.
