Mark Koernke and Donald Betcher discussed the 2008 financial crisis and $700 billion bank bailout, criticizing both major political parties for supporting it despite superficial opposition. They analyzed media conditioning and political correctness in advertising, examined the 2008 presidential race between Obama and McCain with their running mates Biden and Palin, and critiqued gun control positions and concealed carry permit systems. The hosts promoted Maine Military surplus books on self-defense and survival, discussed oil commodities markets and geopolitical resource extraction, and covered topics including the NAFTA superhighway, toll roads in Texas, and the importance of situational awareness and avoiding target fixation in self-defense scenarios.
Live 365. Your freedom is gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. Invist 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 is 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 and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash 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 won't be... Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? 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 keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside 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 is this still the land of the free? Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. And I'm Donald Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, central, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mgdg.com, pbn.4mg.com, live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. And we're also on AM&FM microstations, CB Bay stations, and Ultra Net technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, southern and central Alaska, and other places too numerous to mention. I want to say hi to all of our friends way out across the water. We know a lot of people are listening overseas to see what's going on here in the United States and what the attitude is. And it is interesting that With all the things going on, of course, they're throwing mud back and forth. That's expected. That's pickle-smoking mirrors, by the way, guys. The ring knockers all know who's who in the zoo. Key control points are under the management of the same group of people, no matter which of the names for these major parties we talk about. And a demonstration of that is what we just saw with the flim-flaming of $700 billion dollars to the American people. The supposed liberals stripped bare butt naked and jumped in bed with the other pooftas, the neo-cons, and they swapped spit back and forth, were groping each other in strange places, and shoved through a $700 billion national debt tag on that can be repeated over and over and over. And that number, by the way, Don, they just pulled it out of their honey den. They admitted this. They had no They just figured, well that looks big. That's a good number. We'll go with 700 billion. And they figured they might actually have to come down. And the goofs that were the opposition didn't have brains enough to see that. Instead they were debating well how much, or maybe well, no. None of the above. A lot of people, I shouldn't say that all, but a lot of them said no. And that's critical. But look at who was in bed together. That's why they don't do any real deep history on these votes. The neocons, you know, liberals on one side, and the ultra liberals with the demicons on the other. Wow, almost like it was planned. Okay. Now, tying in another piece here. One of the interesting things, you know, years and years ago I argued, okay guys, we're taking a right. Here's the problem with what's been going on, what the NRA has done for you for years. And they've been screwing us left and right. Okay. Taking a right and turning it into a privilege. Now that doesn't mean that we haven't had carry permits for a long time. We have. But there's a lot of states where there have never been carry permits because there is no restriction on carrying arms. And the goofs bought into the idea that, well, we need carry permits. No, you need to scrape the law books clean in those states that traditionally have always had people carrying firearms and nobody carrying. And instead, what happened is it became a privilege issue. Now, States like Michigan were Soviet, California it's Soviet, New York, oh, ultra Soviet, come on guys, think about it, New York State anyway, New York City, I'm sorry, New York, okay. But it's interesting that you've got a statement made by both of the ring knockers on the Demikin side, but McLean will be no different. Let's see, what was it right here? Oh, Samba Bama Ding Dong said, I am not in favor of concealed weapons. And of course the comment was insulting millions of armed citizens. No, wait a minute, doing exactly what all those armed citizens should have expected. First of all, everybody does all of this nonsense where they plug in the paperwork. Well then guess what? Now, what they do is they've got these lists across the states that they never would have had the information from before. and everybody lined up to be put, you know, if you're worried about being put on a list, there's a list. Of course, it's pretty obvious. If you were willing to arm yourself now, it's most likely you'd be willing to defend yourself later. Okay? So what they're going to do is they're going to, what they'll do is they'll use that list as one of the many ways to You know, come to the door. Yeah, and well, oh hi, look, bunch of nice, warm, fuzzy guys with black uniforms and smiley faces on. Aw, look, and little smiley face buttons. And they're going to hug you at the door and they're going to show their love for you by kissing you on the cheek and squeezing your arms and telling you how such a beautiful day it is and then throw you to the floor, beat the living snot out of you, and then ransack the house and murder as many people as they can. There you go. That's that's Fabian socialism. That's what's wrong, but eliminate the first part. Yeah, I know. Well, we didn't know they're gonna hug you but Yeah, that's sad, but it is true. Anyway, the point is that? Oseman Bemidin dog and Biden are they're not the only ones McLean will do the same thing As far as VP goes, by the way, it's rather interesting. Biden is like, what? Stump dummy. And Palin is the same situation. It's rather strange and funky that you have the supposed argument that we have to have Osama bin Laden, the black guy, debating the white female, you know, Palin. Okay? The Palinosaurus Rex. Now, that doesn't make any sense. Is Palin running for president, Don? Well, what? Well then why would you have the vice presidential candidate being thrown up against the presidential candidate? Well that's been mentioned even in the mainstream. You know it seems that John McLean just isn't that good at debater. Apple's an orange-ist. Run with the army you got. Yeah right, fight with the army you got. Well the other half of it too is again looking at it from the other perspective it's like They needed to make a great some kind of supposedly credibility for Osama bin Laden, so they've got to throw it this way. In reality the whole thing is a farce, people. That's the bottom line. However, it is in line with the political correctness of the day whereby the white guy has to look goofy and stupid and the black guy and the white female have to be the two up front. Have you noticed that? They do this with all the advertising now, etc., etc. That's not because people want that. It's because of progressive conditioning. It's to the point now where it's just absolutely blatant. I mean, come on, you got three characters on the screen. The combo is just going to be guaranteed. Okay, the female is a smart ass, the black is sitting there snickering and yuck yucking while rubbing elbows with the white female, and the white guy is going to be off to the side going, huh? I don't care, take your pick whatever the subject is. That's the basic. How many times have you seen this? And what is it done for? It's conditioning. It's not that the situation merits that it wouldn't be, you know, should say that it would be that way all the time. For that matter, this reverse side, they'd be lamenting about how the poor black guy would be shown as the dummy in the picture, which I don't think that's good advertising anyway, but look at the conditioning advertising that is involved. What do they use? What do they do? Okay? There are much better ways to express or to get your product information across. So there are sub-routines that are incorporated into the SCAM that are part of the BoobTube Condition Machine in general. Okay? So just pay attention to that. I'll give you a little format there. Watch all these BS ads and all this other nonsense being done. Now, we're going to go to break. This is Donna Mark. It is Thursday, by the way.

Go to pokerface.com and if you enjoy what you hear, purchase same. You don't go there and get some of you guys now invoke a big cliche here. Play it loud, play it in the crowd. Again, pokerface.com. One of the advertisements. Oh yeah, we say it advertisements here on this continent. You heard during the break there was for Maine military you guys I think you heard about wool blankets for $20 way cool You know wool keep you warm when you're wet, you know wool good for you, you know wool It's a natural product. We can go on and on just don't let them pull the wool over your eyes Okay, using that as a segue Maine military also has a library they offer, you know library books tapes I have three of their books in my hand here mark and I'm I'm already happy that I read the Happy Handgunner. There's a lot of information we talk about on Weapons Wednesday. You can buy years for Weapons Wednesday and take the time and listen over time, all of that time, and pick out particular nuances and good little thoughts about guns. Well, you could buy the Happy Hand Gunner and get a lot of those thoughts. We've talked about many of the things in here over time, Mark, about cover, about concealment, the difference about stacking your mag or loading your wheel gun, that cylinder, particular load, not necessarily all the same flavor. A lot of good basics are in the Happy Hand Gunner, written by Don Paul, and offered to the general public for $14.99 from Maine military, you guys. It's worth it. Just don't know if they're going to hit you for invoking the US can companies people there. You know, but another is conquer carer. Same author Don Paul. And another is contrime how to be your own body card. Terror has a number of good different chapters in it, Mark, your survival vehicle stocking the vehicle survival at home work survival at your retreat guns. Survival the high value of rim fires is a whole chapter unto itself the rifle rules shotgun safety how to shoot and survival operations teams in I'd encourage you know, it's just another thought we've said it a number of times and one of the easiest ways to say it is you know You can't live to make all the mistakes to be made out there and in fact some of those mistakes will kill you You know what I mean? Oops mistake. Oops. That one was lethal mistake and if you Look in the right places, do the right research. You can gain knowledge that, well, gee, it might have been a mistake before, but you read it in a book or, you know, put on a DVD or, you know, now we invoke movies. And we've talked about Hollywood, you know. Gee, I think I'll jump out of it. People actually jump out of it. You're supposed to believe people jump out of an airplane in Hollywood without a parrot. And, you know, if you or I did that, that would be a mistake, wouldn't it, Mark? So again, you guys, you know, you can gather a lot of good knowledge. The Happy Handgunner is, runs right along with a lot of thoughts we've offered on Weapons Wednesday. And, you know, if you look over, I'll have to do a little more research because I'm certain this author does a book being Don Paul, Happy Handgunner. It's a way to consolidate a whole bunch of knowledge into a dinky little package and you don't have to plug it in and you don't have to wait for it to boot up and you don't have to wait for it to do what your book is taking from you and burn it, right? But it's pretty portable. You could light that little candle down there in the half a hoot, carved out of the ice wall. Why? Because you can't plug into your computer. That goes over to another thought line mark. Because if Osama bin Laden really truly is hiding in a cave somewhere, he must be really, really, really, if I could say that six or seven more times, really, really long extension cord. Other than that, his communications are like, hey, take this note, run over to the other side of the valley. You know what I mean? Don, what's the price on those books? Oh, hey, most of them are, the Happy Hand Gunner is $14.99. And the other two are $12.99. Again, Conquer Terror is $12.99. I'm $12.99, and it's not like they're a smaller book, you guys. They are just as thick as the book known as Happy Hand Gunner. I have to think that that of its title mark and it goes out the door a lot more. But again, you guys need your own copy of it, the Happy Hand Gunner. And if you look over to Conquer Terror, let's look at a couple of those chaps here real quick, you guys. I think I did it on an extent already, but Survival from the NBC attack is the very first. Now again, that's something that everybody needs a good basics on. I'm not talking about the trivia, the trash, the stuff that comes off of Channel 7 or 12 or 14 in your local neighborhood. I'm talking about nuclear, biological, and chemical attack, not NBC. There's a chapter on that that's, let me see here, eight pages. Oh, you know, if you've spent any time in the military or even if you've listened to Mark talk about NBC for a while, you pretty much know that eight pages is just a thumbnail on it. but it keys in and it gives you the basics. And we've talked about the basics too. Remember what advanced techniques are? Samurai saying, Mark's techniques are the basics. Learn a lot from a book. And if you take these guys' basic thought and learn to work them into your world, soon you'll be masters of those basics. That's a good thing, isn't it? Another one, you guys let me do this here. I'm not certain buckshot. Bruce Hemings, a company he's no longer associated with, buckshots, because you know it's like people who, you know, the wife got the yacht and the corvettes. Little country song or something like the D-I-V-O-R, oh, you know, they got a divorce. Still reach buckshot and he is at the page, backwards one page, and you can reach buckshot at 701-485-3528. Again, 701-855-3521-48535. I'm sorry. Unfortunately, on the other hand, I might not, so it's mainmilitary.com, mainmilitary.com, and mainmilitary.com. Go there first, and then hopefully we can find the main phone number where it's stored. Let me see if I can track it down here in our little archive right in front of me. And I don't see it. Forgive me, right off hand. One of the guys in the chat room might be able to help us there. because of course mainmilitary.com is everybody's fingertips if they look quick. I'm hinting at everybody there guys. We're almost at the bottom of the arc. But anyway, one way or another we'll track it down and put it out on the air again for everyone. Forgive me. But it might even be, oh that's right, I don't think I sent anything to you, Don. Forgive me. But mainmilitary.com, that's mainmilitary.com. Oh, let's remember, main, M-A-I-N-E. military.com. Go check them out. Go to their website and have the books. If they don't have them listed on the page, there are some things that are, some things that aren't. And I am not sure, I'm pretty sure that those are listed, so you should go find them in other books that are posted on their site. Also, they have closeouts. They have a vast number of regular items that we've recommended because it's stuff that we know we need and Frank's been doing a great job of tracking things down and accessing them where other people would kind of just sit on their hands and say, yeah, I don't have it. Why worry about it? So again, we've got somebody who's working for the Patriot effort and making the Supreme effort to make sure that you have the materials accessible that you need when the time comes. So take advantage of them. And one more time, mainmilitary.com is where you want to go. Now, with at least the one book, especially The Happy Handgunner, by the way, the interesting thing about that is that they covered, for instance, magazine or cylinder stacking, didn't they Don? Oh yes, again, you know, more than one flavor in the same load group and scenarios and think that, well, hey, you guys, I hear that music coming and the break snuck up on us and we're going to have to carry this thought to the other side of the break. We have to get the, you know, sponsors there too. So with that in mind, intelligence reports, give us about three minutes, we'll be back. Some of you have asked me, what is Cender Rope? What is the purpose of that? I don't get it. Maybe it should be get a rope. But no, I want you to send a rope. Some of you may be familiar with the concept of send a brick. Sendabrick.com. Sendabrick.com, the concept was send a brick to the politician since they're too incompetent to build a wall on our border. And maybe they'll get the clue. If they are receiving pallets and pallets of these bricks every day, maybe they'll start to listen. Well, this is much easier than sending a brick. You can do it in a regular envelope. It takes two stamps instead of 20 and it's just very simple. So what you do is you go down to your orchard supply store and you get yourself a big coil of rope. Let's see there are how many feet here? I've got a hundred feet. Wow! I can send a lot of pieces of rope. So what I want you to do is you should get one of these and you pick the top hundred politicians that you can't stand. Not just that you can't stand, but that have been treasonous lately, and it won't be too hard. You won't have a hard time finding a treasonous politician to send a rope to. If you want, just send one every day to the White House. So take your piece of rope, you take 12 inches of it, take 12 inch length of rope, stick it in an envelope, put a piece of paper in there with the word traitor on it, and nothing else. If you're smart, you won't put your address on it. If you don't want any extra flack from them. But here's the deal. They can infer whatever they want from that word. Maybe there's traitors amongst us in the White House. Maybe there's traitors all over this nation. Maybe they're saying that you're the traitor. I don't know. Whatever they can infer, they can infer whatever they want. But if you do something so stupid as to say, you're a traitor and I want you to hang yourself. or you're a traitor and I hope you die, or you're a traitor and I want to kill you. You will have the secret service knocking on your door. So it would be my advice to you not to do that. To just simply write the word or print the word traitor on there and send it to them. See, because politicians have two things going for them. Their power and their popularity. And if they don't have their popularity, they don't have their power. So let's take that away from them. Let's demoralize the politicians who are demoralizing us. And let's do something, something of action that we can say, send a rope. And tell your friends to send a rope. My website's up, sendarope.com. Very simple, no nonsense website, no fancy frills, no nothing. I don't want any money. I want you to send a rope. You want to do something for me? Send a rope you want to do something to save this nation send a rope visit send a rope calm and send a rope Print refrain from poker face there You know how that works poker face calm poker face calm. Wait, did I mention poker face calm? Well, you know what mark earlier in the hour? We did mention Bruce who's a Heming as you know track gave out his phone number seven zero one four eight five three five two eight and supply dot com. Yes, that's Frank with Maine Military. And in fact, they have that and a whole lot more. So we just want to make sure, and I want to say again, thank you to Hard Way. He did a great job there. Appreciate that, guys. Other stuff happening today, well, as we know, they're proceeding with trying to throw more numbers out there about what's going on with the banks. And again, most of this is to maintain confusion. If you start looking at a lot of these numbers, guys, they don't add up in any common sense way. However, remember that the basic rule of the pickpocket of the magician is to create confusion and therefore end up with what he has as a desirable end result. So, that was the case today when we had the, let's see, we had the energy secretary talking about fuel. We had the secretary of state sleeping in bed with the Israelis big time today, a bunch of other stuff going on there that was rather interesting. And then we had, of course, our director of the Federal Reserve, the classic real kind of Alfred E. Newman guy when it comes to being in front of anybody in government. Who, me? Well, yeah, you're the one in charge of the Federal Reserve, aren't you? No, no, I'm just a mouthpiece, don't you know? That's exactly the attitude this character takes at different times. First of all, you know, telling you how important it is and how pressing the issue is, and then all of a sudden he's going into a catatonic brain fart almost instantly. Well, Mark, I wonder how important he's going to act when he has to answer to the International Monetary Fund, which I'm told. You mentioned this the other day. The IMF wishes to... Oh, what's that word? They come over and look at your book. They wish to, uh... Oh, that? Yeah. Yes. To me, that's better than any Alfred E. Newman joke, be- Right, so again are they really going to audit or is it audit audit? I like that sounds more. Shall we say it sounds more uptown We're going to audit your accounts won't do well anyway. We're gonna audit your accounts and I don't think it's gonna happen anyway bottom line They may do this as part of the puff-up But in reality the characters that are making this noise are the ones who have helped to manipulate What's going on on Wall Street right now and of course on every main street in America? What was funny today is the conflict or the main confusion from the House of Representatives on the one end. The Secretary of the Treasury, by the way, stepped in on this too. There was all kinds of little comments, for some reason a flurry of statements today. That doesn't mean it hasn't been happening for the last several weeks because it really has. Everybody has to have their public announcement. I don't know anything. I know nothing. I know nothing. Give me some strudel. You know, remember? Don't forget the strudel part, Schultz. Okay. Felt feeble Schultz. Well, anyway, today was really, and it makes me wonder about what's going to happen tomorrow with the economy because usually, you know, in the past they would do post-damage control because they figured, hey, they got time. What I see today is pre-damage control. In other words, I already took four hits and they can see where I was responsible. Maybe we can shuffle it off on somebody or at the very least deflect the interest in what's going on with the stocks, the bonds, and by the way, what about commodities? See, that's another area real quick that is not getting a whole lot of focus and should, and that's commodities. Because the same people that cook the books in the stock market are the ones who brought all of the numbers into the commodities market. Now, what are commodities? Well, remember that old movie, Trading Places, where they do the quick class on, what are commodities? What do they do? How do they work? Well, it was really a very shallow movie in that respect. But it did give you a feel for the same kind of spin that you see on the regular stock market, as far as how commodities work. The problem is that, for instance, oil is in that category. Now, most recently here, the discussion has been about opening the fields in Alaska and opening the fields in the Gulf of Mexico. And I think that would be a wonderful thing if, oh, there's that big if word again. I have two letters very large. All of you out there have to ask the same thing. If they're going to hand all this oil over to the Chinese and to the Japanese, How are you going to benefit from this? If 100% of the oil leaving the Alaskan fields never comes to our pumps, how is the price of oil in, say, North Carolina or Iowa or California going to be changed? The only thing that might happen is this. It will go up. And why will it go up? Well, because they're going to have to compensate for certain production aspects that are taking place up in Alaska and over in the Gulf. And that will be their excuse, too. Well, we had to raise the prices because of our operating expenses. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You got some big boys there. You know, the good old communist businessmen. Wow, what an oxymoron that is, guys. Yeah, exactly. They're the ones that'll tell you, oh, you built that refinery for us. But wait, capitalist communist. You need one all along, but you do before it's so nice. Yeah, so with all of it, or the pipeline for that America, here's the thing. How much, well, I'll properly word it this way, and this is for all of you to think about. How much oil in the Midwest do you think you've run your vehicles on that came from Alaska? Yeah. Now, how much oil, now think about this fiasco. We've been murdering the Iraqis to steal their oil for the Israelis. Did I give you a little hint there? We have been murdering the Iraqis to steal their oil so the Israelis can, you know, steal it, can pilfer it, can play with it. Now, how much of that oil coming out of Iraq do you think your car has run off in the last five years? None. See, nobody asks these questions saying, well, we need this vitally important for what? Vitally important for who? not for America and certainly not for us and we have no allies. George Washington said it best, no long-term alliances with any of these goose because none of them can be trusted. Okay? And the Israelis have proved that out. They are Yahooty swine and they betray us left and right and they've tried to murder us over and over again. The Europeans, hey they're in business for themselves kids. Same as everybody else but just as much as the Israelis although the Israelis manipulate them left right up and down. Asia, hell, half of what it is being pumped out of the Middle East, guys, doesn't even come near us. It goes right straight down through the Persian Gulf. Comes across the horn there, perhaps, but it goes up underneath the Malabar District there, down below the Horn of India, the southern peninsula of India there, around the coastline to refineries in Japan. facilities in China or any of the other countries along there who by the way many of those countries are also shipping their oil to like Indonesia or like Siam I mean all these countries have oil production there's the country that doesn't have oil production but do a flow chart oh pardon the pun there flow chart get it? Oh, oil, oh ha. Anyway do a real flow chart and point arrows towards where all this product is going You will find very little of it is getting anywhere near any of us and yet we're still getting jacked for prices of course doesn't help we're getting jacked for taxes what half of that is with regard to the fuel pump and we continue to be levied with the majority of the burden to put all this other stuff up online for someone else. That's another quand I find hard to understand Mark you know over it makes more in propses than the oil companies do. But they're more than happy to point out the obscene amounts of money the oil companies and this is almost exactly senators and congressmen have said the obscene amounts of money. Well, you know, collecting those taxes so that it would be safe wouldn't fall out from underneath us and our car wheels wouldn't fall off or shatter when we hit that nine foot get laid down and fanning the or there did it. As was pointed out during the fiasco with the NAFTA super highway fight here just a short time ago in Texas along with a vote, one of the groups of people that came forward and they kind of cooked their goose in this respect too because they just confirmed what we already knew when they said, when it was pointed out to them that the Spanish were going to convert first take over and then convert all of Texas highways into toll roads. Now that sounded interesting except that then a bunch of the people scratching their head in Texas there with the Texas Department of Transportation Realized wait a minute something's wrong here If they do that We'll be out of a job. Yep. That's right. They would be and so then they started to know making comments like well Why would they do that we rake in twice as much as much money as we use every year? Don't Yeah Twice as much money as they need everywhere What's wrong with that, people? Now... Now I gotta say, they had some nice roads in Texas. Oh yes they do. As a matter of fact, I'll tell you what, 70 miles an hour guys and all the secondary roads everywhere. No matter how squiggly they are, by the way. I hear the music.

Damage report. superficial now becomes down strike rupturing fuel pipe nine somehow i think it's it's got jammed on the country in western chattel you guys that kind of explains what happened at the bottom of the hour from all the pilot had got jammed on the country music channel darren step from mark uh... i would have to tell us okay look at all red dwarf all perfect yes if you ever have a chance for the british uh... sci-fi sitcoms red dwarf uh... they were supposed to do a movie but every more about that I'm waiting on the edge of my seat. But you know what, at the bottom of the hour I kind of left you waiting on the edge of your seat. When we were talking about stacking magazines or loading your cylinders and your wheel gun in a particular order, in that particular order might go something like your first shot you want it to be as hard a hit as possible and you might want that to be like a wad cutter or maybe you know something like a gold star or a Hydra shock or something. And then maybe even the next one might be the same flavor. You figure by now, well, you've put two into the air. And if they haven't done what needed to, if they have not served their purpose, someone down range might well be aware of, well, gee, those two things that just went by my ears, they sounded kind of threatening. I think I'll run over here and hide behind this car door. Or better yet, because they walked into a restaurant and started just blazing away. I'll hide behind this seat here in this booth. So what do you do Mark? You have the next one in the chamber or the next one to the top of the magazine and slid into the chamber by that slide and brought to battery a metal jacket. And you know it's kind of like Hollywood again. You see the guy hiding and he's hiding behind something and you see his foot sticking out. So what does Hollywood have you do? They have you shoot his foot. well that might get results but you know a foot is a pretty small target if you can see their foot you can kind of think about plotting and imagining well i i see his foot there and i know that that's a i'm hiding in and if i think about well i think i'll just put a shot right and then you see the foot twitch a little bit and the threat has been all what are they call that Put down. That's right. Yes. And again, how did we get on to this conversation? I just used that and it's an example of how to stack your magazine or how to stack your wheel gun. And you know when you stack your wheel gun there's a lot less reference, Mark. It's not like, well, the first one that goes down in the, you know, your long net magazine. You can mark cylinder and mark your speed loaders. And then you get in the habit of marking that speed loader a particular way. So when that cylinder pops open by feel, you have found that index. And you index that speed loader to that and then you bring that and you know what the next stack, the next delivery thereof of bullets are coming out next. Now we kind of got sidetracked there by giving you Maine military's phone number and buckshot's phone number. So you know what? I'm going to do that again and I'm going to talk about focus a little bit here too Mark and the exaggeration of focus because you know that's what I did you guys at the bottom of the hour I kind of lost my focus my trail of thought but before I get too far into that thought line I want to tell you you can get a hold of Bruce 7 0 1 4 8 5 3 5 2 8 4 times 7 0 1 3 5 2 8 and main military their hard line is 8 7 7 0 8 0 1 Again, 8-7-0-1. And as he takes a deep breath and tries to concentrate there on focus. I want to give you this example of focus. In a target situation, you focus on the target. I'm going to blend those two together, Mark, because focus can become target fixation. And the best example, I know you've probably seen some over the years, and some of the people out there are going to say, well, that ain't nothing but a hill of beans, Don. The best example I've ever seen of target fixation, I'll tell you, there's a river that runs into Toledo there and along one side of the south side of the rivermark are the houses along the banks of the river. And their backyard just settles down into the riverbed. And that riverbed rises up pretty good. And then they've leveled that area to a Broadway street, like four lanes, only two of them are parking. and that riverbed still rises up into the yard that comes up on the other side of the street. And many of the houses in this particular neighborhood, that stretch were older houses, big brick houses. About 10 years ago, I was standing on the front porch of one of those houses, Mark, and talking to a, you know, I talked about this friend a couple days ago with Nancy. But I was standing on his and his wife's front porch. Across the street was a party. It's a college town too. and right around the corner down the street was the Toledo College, I don't know what they call it Mark, Toledo U as example. But all the college students were over there and having a good time and yucking it up and doing the Charleston and, you know, well, maybe they weren't doing the Charleston, or eating goldfish or, you know what I mean, trying to stuff themselves into a phone booth, but all of a sudden the crowd started to move one way, Mark, and then it started to move another a little bit and then it kind of parted ways. And this guy came running out of the crowd as fast as he could. There's another guy right behind him, maybe 10 or 12 steps behind him. He's so intent on, I'm going to get this guy. It was like you could think of all the things Yosemite Sam would say or Elmer Fudd. I'm going to get him that dang Raskaly rabbit. That person being pursued runs out across the street at a good long, you know, about a 20 degree angle, runs out across the street. And the guy running after him, give me just a moment, get out of there dog, the guy running after him, Mark, runs out into the road and yonder come up the road, you know, here come up the road, two motorcyclists. And because the guy ran into the road, it's such a flat, such an oblique angle, you know, almost a great deflection shot. The motorcyclist never saw the guy run right in front of him until he was literally right in front of him. And the guy, willing to handle bars, marked him over like an all-direction throw. And that biker never had even a chance to hit the brakes. You know, this guy just, much like a deer. You know, it's the deer you see a mile away on the road. You slow down a little bit as you approach, don't you? But it's the deer that just darts out into the road that's the one you hit. Well, this guy was so that it was beyond focus, Mark. He was target fixated on this dummy. He wanted to beat up so bad he ran out into traffic and got hit by a motorcycle. Got hit by a motorcycle. You know how slim motorcycles are? And I offer that up. You know how slim that chance is of getting hit by a motorcycle? This dummy did it. I saw the whole thing and I bring this to you as example, you guys, of target fixation. How many times do you hear us, hey, checker six, keep looking around. Hey, what is that over there? Hey, don't run in so fast. You run away from the guys that are watching your back. There's so many things to learn from that little anecdotal. And that man was on the street for about 15 minutes, Mark. Unconscious. All of his friends insisting to my friend's wife, who was a nurse, then she's telling him you need to call an ambulance. Oh, no, he's on parole out of Michigan. And he can't be out of state. And see what your friends will do for you? I don't need friends like that. Do you but again, I start I don't want to continue with this in a number of directions I story to you you guys to example target excation. This is a real good thing But when you focus on a particular project, even if it's just right now knock that guy out that takes focus to do that One of the reasons you turn in a room like to offer a simply to turn as you move toward your opponent You know stepping your back foot foot around you so turn your head 180 degrees Guess what? Your head contains eyes, doesn't it? And if you've turned your head 360 degrees through the room as you move toward your opponent, you've kind of registered a good threat in the room other than the one that you are trying to address. And that's the difference between this and target fixation. Right here again, it's the idea that when we're talking about a situation like that, you have to be on several tiers at once. It's a system of combat operations the same way. You have to be cognizant of the target area in front of you, which is your primary site and area of control. But you also have to be thinking in your peripheral constantly. especially with the more sophisticated battlefield not that it really hasn't changed much just ranges have changed but otherwise you never know when you're going to get that sharp jab from the left to the right you never expected because you weren't paying attention you were so fixated upon a particular objective in this case like with the guy with a motorcycle you ran into something that normally it's the other way around guys well actually cars are usually what's running into the motorcycle not a guy in foot But it's still the same problem. I mean, you gotta be paying attention constantly and be ready to engage or to avert contact with another target that may be either equal or superior. And then turn around and deal with it accordingly. We're at the top of the hour. We had a caller, I'll tell you what guys, call back after the top of the hour intro. We'll bring it right up. This is the intel report. It is Thursday. We'll be here for the next hour.
