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 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. 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 will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for 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 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? Distill the land of the free. Oh good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark Hernke and I'm Donald Thatcher 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.4mg.com. We're also on PBN.4mg.com. There we go. And we're on live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're on AM&FM Microstations, CB Bay Stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi, southern and central Alaska. And with the Hallmark Net, now six states on the east coast in the Colonial States. Down to these date is? Hey, it's Stiff. 15 December, you guys, half the month of the last month of the year is gone. 15 December, it's just past 5 on the east coast. Half a month. Wait a minute. That means we only got 15, 16 days. and then 20 to that oh my goodness only 36 going on 37 shopping days till tyranny plugs in in the American the Soviet Socialist democracy the USSD so let's all pay attention there and get the job done I will say this real quick a lot of comments and we've got a we've got a guest up here already on standby we've got Alfie from our training operation hub in the Oklahoma area so we're going to be following up on that but real quick and this segues into a lot of what we'll be talking about too progressively but guys parts are just simply not available as expected everybody went out and started grabbing AR-15 parts left and right for obvious reasons a bunch of the companies are going around stripping all that stuff out and putting rifles together This is something that is to be expected, but what's happening is this is taxing our supply system for firing pins, extractors, and ejectors for basic maintenance on your rifle. If you're going to have the backup systems, and a lot of you listened already, and you already have your spares sitting there, Well, things are not looking good as far as replacement. Some of the time frames that we're looking at are ludicrous when you consider that they're going to be still maintaining average production and interest has gone more than through the roof. We'll explain that in a minute here. But otherwise, if you have some place, a niche, like somebody's got a surplus shop and they just happen to have a bunch of AR-15 parts, just as a side bar. They might have a bunch of stuff they picked up. It's in a junk box. And this happens, go through the old surplus stores, go through the old industrial shop store, you know, surplus stores, where they have a lot of machinery and tooling. A lot of times they have a lot of stuff like this, you've kind of passed by because it wasn't pretty. Dings and scratches and obviously used. Well, something used but that still works is much better than not having any spares at all. So if you see something that it's got a little ting, it looks like it, you know, it's got a scratch on the surface. As long as it doesn't affect the operational quality of the component and you can see that it's pretty much intact, well, Mr. Spray Paint will cover anything like that or you just keep it really well lubed to make sure that nothing oxidizes or rusts in any way, shape, or form aluminum with its, you know, problems. But the point is, put the stuff on the shelf now. Magazines the same way. Now, we are experienced with mags. We know the pluses and minuses of different mags out there. You're going to have to work with them. and it's because guys it's what's left and the next wave may be worse because a lot of these companies down there going to be pressing their product they're going to be pushing to get more out anytime we've seen that quality control goes down doesn't it? Now we got Alfie here let's bring him up hey what's going on over there in Oklahoma? Well we're going through Today we are looking at around 17 for wind chill factor with 25 mile an hour winds. Another example of weather changes here on this Texas area where one day it can be one way and the next day it is another. If you are coming to the meetup be ready for that. And in fact, that's the most important thing, is to have the proper clothing with you. You can always take it off if it gets warmer, but trying to scratch it out of dust ain't going to work. In other words, if it ain't there with you right on the spot, you're going to be in trouble. And there's no sense in there being any casualties because of weather conditions. We have the equipment, bring it along in preparation to use it. Most important, and another thing, as I've said before, a combat load, at least roll up your woolly pulley, your combat sweater, preferably a commando type, without with a crew neck or a conventional deck neck either way. Also a pair of long johns, put those right in the butt pack on your combat gear. Now the woolly pulley, it's going to be a little bulky, but the idea behind it is to have a couple layers of clothing with you to help protect core temperature. Even if you didn't have anything else, if you get caught a little off guard, you're not completely hanging with your butt in the breeze or in the refrigerator in this case. But otherwise, layers and extras. Put extra glove liners in your pockets or mittens in your pockets, depending on what system you're using. Make sure you've got extra socks with you. Over boots are another thing guys over boots really save body body calories slash temperature Because they help to seal the boots and keep them dry This is where we can go from cold dry, which is really what's happening out we are healthy right now to we went from a kind of mild this morning to get whatever you guys got hit with right about now today and the temperatures drop down we're looking at some really chill conditions well it's it's actually dry cold it's not wet cold so you're not going to end up you know stepping in a mud puddle and you know soaking the boots or whatever But in either situation, the greater the number of layers you put on your feet, well, the longer your feet are going to last, and your body will follow otherwise. That's what everybody has to remember. If all else fails, what's going to happen is your feet get cold, you lose calories there, everything else decides to drag right down with it, and your performance level goes down dramatically. So a five-buckle pair of rubber boots or military slip-on, you know, the green pair, I don't care what it is, but get a pair and bring them with you for this trip. That's one of the solutions now what if this exercise is looking like it's really starting to build up right now And you are looking to answer a lot of people's questions today aren't you? Yes, and another thing we talked about earlier this afternoon. I did go ahead and call Bush master evidently I was way ahead of the crowd trying to get some extra parts for a friend of mine And we got our order within about seven days Did get complete lowers with no problem whatsoever However, today, in calling them back, they were very nonspecific about when any could be available. They're picking at him for a while. The best at the 12 weeks for the DPMS and it was from DPMS. They're looking at anywhere from a four. If you guys had been listening to Mark like I have since early in the back for kicking me all the way ahead of the ballgame and my wife and I sat down numerous times and talked about how far we're ahead and if everything broke down, we'd shut the gates on the ranch and have a beer because there's no you've already purchased work if you've been building bug out bags if they should bring their bug out bags well heck yes bring them there is a lot of new gear that we've added on we're going to run it through that it's ready to go we've got quite a few women come be a great adventure Now there again before we even hit the ground, cold weather gear, cold weather gear and more cold weather gear. Extras are fine. Get out your backpack till it's stuffed. That's the bottom line with that. Get out your backpack so it's completely squared away and then some because better to have extras that you can drop off in cash than to not have enough of what you need when the time comes. That's how you should operate in the field. Another thing there too is remember that your weapons are going to be in a cold environment. Bring your cleaning kits. Don't say we didn't tell you to do this right now. Bring your lubricant and your cleaning kits because any time that you bring your weapons in, if you have to move them indoors for any period of time and then bring them back out in the cold, you're going to have condensation one way or another. The weapons going to sweat, you're going to get moisture pickup, you're going to see problems if you're not careful with weapons freezing. No, it doesn't have to be that cold, but it's cold enough. In fact, what you're describing, like I said, Alfie, is what we're getting outside right now. If your weapon was outside and it had a little moisture, well, let's put it this way. Don, you had a similar event with a much larger object today, and it really didn't change that much in temperature, but it did change enough, didn't it? ...came home to the screen door, to how the wind had driven water into the little push-button lat. And with the... you know application of the palm of the hand i moved the uh... but lo, all of the mechanism inside Live 365 We train constantly through the winter. Just like you said, Alfie, we know for us, it's second nature. It's not like, oh my goodness, we're going to have to... No, we're already... We have all the cold weather gear. I think we're better, to be quite honest, on an average, we are better outfitted and better equipped than the average US military soldier in the field right now. We don't wait for what we want. We don't ask for it. We pick out what we need. We purchase the extras that we need. We don't have to beg for those. And it's all in our hands constantly. Whenever we need it for the season, it's at our fingertips. And that's something that everybody should be thinking about. Now, you shouldn't be thinking about cold weather now. You should have been thinking about cold weather during the summer when I repeated talking about it over and over again because then cold weather gear was cheaper. Now, it doesn't mean you can't get it now because you can. But you'll find prices change from the season. They want to sell the winter stock towards the end of the winter. Take advantage of that. Of course, this time around, I don't know. We'll see what happens here. Not finding too much inventory to buy by the end of the season or that is available to be disposed of with a lot of the different things that are happening with the economy. Now, Alfie, with regard to the training exercise, give everybody an overview. And by the way, people are still going to be able to sign up, correct? Yes, and that has been one of the questions. Even though we didn't get the people to respond, appropriately like we have liked so that we could get some kind of idea on the number here just for the food prep alone uh... you can still show up the day of that's what it takes if you can't contact me or don't have a way to contact me uh... the more the merrier were not worried about the numbers uh... will make do with if we've got the running get other supplies will will make that work i'm not concerned with whether or not you've made up your mind and if it takes till one minute, that's fine. This is an opportunity and it may be the last one of us. We have no idea what's going to happen after the first of the year and once Obama takes over. This may be something that is not allowed to happen anymore. We don't know. And Mike and I have talked about this extensively that it may be something that we may not be able to pull off again. I don't know. The costs that are involved in this, the amount of trying to get the trainers all together trying to get everybody in one spot on the same time everybody taking vacation if they have vacation so they can show up for this uh... it's getting a little hard to get these trainers to show up for free uh... you know they've got expenses to get here and you know they're taking the time to be here for you it's not for me it's for you i've already had these guys here and i've already been trained uh... i'm going to be here to learn to you but uh... you know like i said before we've got to get everybody up to speed we've got a lot of new people coming online i'm getting more response from newbies than i am from people that have been in this for a while and they're trying to catch up back to you get caught find out what work find out what doesn't work we're not the waste your money opportunity meet like-minded people spend the days training we've got a lot of new things uh... go as we picked up a whole a bunch of different repelling gear to include some other collapses going this time that we haven't been able to pull over. We're going to get more in depth on the medical. We'll show you how to do some of the chest decompression exercises. A lot more on airway maneuvers using the nasal and oral airways. More on IV therapy, more on wound closure and wound cleaning. We've been able to establish a rapport with performance systems and we do have we will have some of their dressing here so that we can actually use their uh... new four six in eight-inch abdominal dressing so that you can see how these are used in the advantage of using these dressings uh... these are very cost effective for what you're going to consider your life you know saving your life uh... will show you how to use those correctly so that you'll be able to purchase those and use those at a later date uh... the communications issues of baby you know what if everything else goes down how can we communicate Our communications guy is guaranteed he will be here. We can show you what gear to buy, what gear to stay away from. We'll show you how to build field expedient antennas and we're going to show you everything and teach you everything inside out on what to do and what to have for communications. We've got some great little ICOM 7A radios that we're going to be distributing out for you set to meet. No, you're not going to get to take these radios home. But we'll show you the advantages of having a 2 meter 440 radio and the other frequencies that can be used so that you can be tactical. We've got all kinds of different things planned for the gun range. One thing, and I'm going to stress this again, gun safety will again be paramount. We will be going down to the range the first day and getting everybody zeroed in. We've had a lot of problem with people showing up and they haven't zeroed their weapons or they've put new scopes on or new fixtures and things aren't working. You want to know now, okay, if these weapons are going to fire on target and if they don't, let's get them set before you go. And the other big thing we're going to try to incorporate every day is breakdown and cleaning of these weapons and going over weapons systems, malfunctions and how to correct them.

We've got Alfie with us and Mark and myself, the intelligence report. And Alfie, you're on a roll, guy. I'm going to yield the four to you. All righty. I've had a lot of questions about what to bring to the meat. Now I know Cordy was working on some updates on the website tonight and I know she's going to try to get that corrected and it should be back up. I'll try to put out another update on just exactly what to bring, but there's only a few items other than your normal gear that you need to bring that are important for the meat. One of them is that 16 foot of twisted nylon rope so we can work on showing you how to make up a Swiss seat. That's going to be an important thing that you may need later and that's something you're going to have to bring on your own. We're not going to supply. The second is a compass. Now we'd like to see everybody with a military lens compass that's capable of shooting as math and reverse as math for the compass class. If that's not possible, bring any compass that you have so that you can become familiar with how to use your compass and relate it to a map. Mike's going to go over some stuff with night vision. There's nothing you need to bring for that class other than your own eyes. We're going to show you some natural night vision techniques that you can take back with you in practice so that you'll have a better idea how to use your normal night vision at night. We'll practice that numerous times throughout the meet. The next thing is I'm going to lay this out again guys. If you come and make sure you bring a cot. The barns first come first serve. I've told a lot of people that. Whoever gets here first gets first dibs on being inside. The other people are going to have to go ahead and use their tents and we definitely have areas where you can get warmed up. But again, this is a field exercise. So we're going to suffer right along with everybody else. The trainer, if you ride alongside you, they're going to be out in the weather with you. So they're not going to get any preferential treatment above and beyond anybody else. Now, Mike's got quite a bit of intel gas. that you're going to need for that is probably that 3x5 spiral notebook so that you can take notes. We'd like to see you bring a pair of binoculars and these can be the cheap, in fact I prefer the cheap pocket sized Tascos scopes anywhere up to the 10x25s, they're less than $20. A lot of places you can get them less than that. And I've seen some darn good velveter Binoculars at the dollar store for $10 and they're 7 by 35 and they give you a good wide range of view and again for 10 bucks you can buy a couple pair and you can have a spare. We keep binoculars all over so we can keep an eye on the ranch from all different directions and the last thing I want to do when I need them is go run around and see where they are so we keep a few pre a few of them pre-positioned So that anywhere that we go, any door, any window, there's a pair of binoculars there so that we can grab and take a look and see what's going on. Other than that, we're going to cover your food, okay? You're going to get two square meals a day. These will be square meals, too, where we're going to try to keep them well-balanced. We're going to learn too on this as far as field sanitation, what it takes to have this many people in one area, and what's involved in trying to keep everything sanitized and keep everybody healthy. The other thing we're learning is how to prepare food for this many people and what kind of quantities and we're going to run to. So when the time comes, if we do have a bunch of extra people show up at the ranch, uh... we'd know already and have the equipment to prepare food for that many people uh... this is you know this isn't just for you this is also for a my wife learn quite a bit last time on trying to keep the meals warm nobody got well believe me going to be called the fit because you didn't get down and eat it soon and you get a nice hot breakfast but lunch is going to be caught on your own picks and snacks or something because we do not want us down training one of the things we ran into when we're buddy aside for three minutes meals a day, hours a day, and people weren't eating correctly, weren't hydrating correctly, and then in turn we had one guy go down with dehydration and hypothermia from just trying to keep to himself. I'd love to have people to work on while you're here. If you don't want to get the fluids, I don't need the training, but I'll remind somebody that wants to stick an IV in you and we will go ahead and rehydrate it. So if you want to be a casualty, live training, that's not a problem. uh... post-it you can think of that you need for your own personal care is the big you need to be able to come here with enough stuff to keep yourself clean ready to go for the chart as what you come in woodlands or the other i've got more muscle i've got multi-cam at forty five dollars apiece i could care less this is an exercise to train so that you can go back and you can train the rest that mike's put was a notebook you're gonna get a note because notebook with you you have all the information to do all the training that we share with nation and if you can take even have i teach everything might teaches all information about all the different weapon system the malfunction checks uh... your mag changes that you're going to need later down the road uh... we will need some of that information so uh... the notebook alone are we going to be worth the cost of the clock so or is an opportunity not anything else nobody's making any money on this uh... it's not one of these you come and we're gonna have table stuff for sale all that's fine bring them along that you want to get rid of i'm sure there's somebody here that may need that gear so go ahead and bring it negative end on both the even that's all we're looking for on this the idea was to try and ready to go so when they went back to their respective group or their respective area they're mission to continue this training like mark always has many hands make here get them trained and send twenty people home and notebooks trainers out there what we're looking for mark We need the cadres in place. This is one of the things that a lot of you and I would ask your summer listing right now who were Considering themselves a distance away, and I've said this and I will say it again Pick one or two people. I don't care how you do it take straws pick by what their position is within the unit That's a choice of the individuals But you know whoever whatever unit you have if you can get at least one person ideally to a team to this event They can come back with the data, they can also explain to people what was going on. And again, you can share the experience. You're witnesses. You go there, you come back, you explain to the other team members, hey guys, this is what we need to be doing. This is how things are squared away. Here's the agenda. And that's the whole purpose behind this. Everybody pitch in, get your representatives to this meeting if nothing else. Because I'm saying this guy is as far away as Maine listening right now or up in the Northwestern part of the country. And you do have response from many, many states right now, correct? Yes, I just had a girl contact me from Utah yesterday. She's planning on coming. I've got people from Arizona coming. There's people from all over the country showing up, and a lot of them are doing just what Mark said. There's only one or two from their group that are going to be able to make it. ability to take this information back and pass it on to the rest of the group. And that's what that notebook's all about. That was probably the best idea we've come up with so far is to have some kind of comprehensive manual that when you leave, you've got all the information to go on from there. Again, it's up to you to take enough notes so that you can use these training outlines and keep them accurate and to the point so that we don't miss any steps, especially with some of this medical stuff. Granted, you're going to see it once. some of it you'll be able to practice on all of it. If we can get a volunteer to do chest decompression, that would be great, but I don't think that's going to happen. So, there are some things we're just going to have to simulate. We're not going to be doing directly, okay? But that's like rifle marksmanship. When we're all live, pop-up targets would be nice, but as the old sergeant said, soon enough young soldiers, soon enough. The otherwise the other thing there is again with rifle marksmanship make sure you've got your combat load squared away bring more ammunition that you need for the training because you're supposed to be carrying a Combat load get used to the weight or at least find out what it is you were thinking about doing with your equipment and then adjust accordingly if you think you need to shave something off to make it work right That's the advantage of training exercises also, and this is a live This is a live event. That's why I think the other exciting thing about this, multi-day, and you get to interact with other people, it's going to be a full schedule. I think it's a, let's put it this way, you get any warm meals at a military operation? Ha! You're doing pretty good anyway. I was with a, go ahead, I'm sorry. That's for sure. In all the years I was in, especially when we were in the field, the closest thing we got to the correct temperature was probably salad. Other than that. Yeah, and the problem the farther you got in the field is they're going to deliver the food. Oh, don't ever count on that. So if you were getting food in any way, shape, or form, I mean, if the other people are complaining about other events, guys, that's just the way it works. If it's cold, guess what? It's better than cardboard and gunpowder. Know what I mean? So, in this case, you guys will provide the resources. Everybody else is going to have to work together to get it done right. And the better coordinated you are, and the greater the cooperation, the less time it takes to get the task done. So, whenever something is going on, whoever the straw boss is for the moment, everybody else pay attention. This is true whenever you're doing anything. If you have a designated straw boss, an individual whose job it is to organize a certain action, well then let him get the job done. You know, when it becomes your turn to do the same thing, you're going to expect people to listen and everybody else needs to respond too. I'm sure you'll be taking turns in certain tasks. Well, guess what? Either as one of the working members or the guy with the magic pointy finger, either way, stay focused on the task. It'll all be done quicker and everybody can get on with enjoying whatever it is they need to do. You know, like eating or sleeping or whatever. And or more training. In fact, usually, as has been the case in an operation like this, if you have more room, If you get things done faster, you get more activities tied into the program. You got more time for them and you accomplish more. That's critical. You may not get more sleep, but you are going to get more training time in. And that is, that's again, we're training to keep you alive. We're training to help keep other people alive. That's the goal behind this whole series of events that have been taking place. And you are ahead of the wave. Those people who have already attended these activities have done a fine job. Now, for those of you that are new, well, congratulations. You're going to have to play catch up, but guess what? You're still ahead of a whole lot of other people. Now, I would ask anybody that's listening, if you're within the Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, let's see to the west. Well, if you're in Utah or if you're in even northeastern New Mexico, you're within reasonable driving distance of Oklahoma. And for all you in Texas listening right now, guys, it's straight up the corridor. Come on. Get the guys organized. Double up on transportation. Make sure you get the people there. And we're going to see some excitement. We're going to see some major activities here. Now, any other special considerations with regard to supplies? Anything that might be off the wall? For instance, I know you do make a list up of recommendations. Is that on the Cordy's website? uh... that is on the website i'm going to do another little update because i've got some questions on some things that i would have assumed people would have understood they need to bring however will try to make it is the easiest possible i know don't had talked specifically about horses uh... i know i think it was a week or so ago and i know marks mentions this before too This is another combination of classes that we're going to do. We'll show you how the correct way to tack up a horse, what kind of tack you're going to need for a horse if you're thinking about that in the future. If you're going to go out in the country or you've got a retreat and you haven't been able to stay on your retreat, you want to know about livestock, how to raise it, how to feed it out for the freezer, anything from... We've got new pigs here. We'll show you how to go ahead and pick your... and how to get those set up so that they're able to the least amount of work, how to do your cattle, how to take care of your horses, how to do your chickens. All that's part of this too. We're going to show you all the things that we've done to make it for years to come. We'll show you what to feed. We'll talk about what kind of return you get. Just because you got a 300 pound pig that you take in to get slaughtered doesn't mean you're going to get 300 pounds of meat. There's only 80% of that pig going to come back to you in meat. cows actually a lot less crazy cow up to a thousand pounds but you don't get a thousand pounds of meat you're only going to get sixty percent of that the rest is bone and hide and head and since you're not going to be able to do much with both a couple of those items might be a good in the houses are going to take that as part of the deal in the slaughter so uh... will show you the whole the whole gamut of the solar set up so the use of the power poles uh... using batteries how to set up your solar panels larger batteries, all the different alternative energy means that you can come up with. That's another thing that we've tried to duplicate and triplicate here so that we have, again, our micro station, it runs completely on 12 volt, nothing runs off of 110, so it goes down. We can always switch the shortwave if the internet's down and we can put shortwave out on our FM station. So, Perks, and then you can go from there, Mark. Now there too, good point, thank you very quickly here, a lot of guys know that We were on WTPRN and for programming like what Elfie's talking about from Micro Station, everybody pitches in you can actually do a backlog on CDs or on cassettes or whatever to actually have more sound to put out there right straight from your little micro AM or FM. So it would be who of you for instance right now while it's still available. We don't know how much longer it's going to last. We think it's going to disappear pretty soon. WTPRN's archive is still up and online guys. So if you get a chance, you might want to grab a carousel of CDs and pull all those programs down. Because remember, all of our weapons Wednesday, all of our medical Tuesday classes are there, and those can go up on the air along with independent music and other stuff to make for real creative broadcasting with a micro FM or micro AM. And that's a solution to a problem which is, what if the main feeds go down? What are we supposed to do? Well, we've told you before, you're it, you're the backup. When we fall, if something happens because of the interconnective tissue and everything absolutely fails, each of the micro FM stations pick up the slack. So start collecting your music now, start collecting cassettes, CDs, anything you can find because down the road you may be the only voice in the area. And that means you're going to attract a lot of ears. When the radio's dead and the TV's go offline, hmm, people start wondering where they're going to find their information and where they're going to find some entertainment from. and if they can plug in a solar powered radio or make a hand crank system and listen to the FM or the AM and you're there, hey you're the king. You're the one who's going to be telling what's going on and what they need to do. So very critical, we look at that as having the entire bouquet of resources available. The micro stations, real quick, you guys were switching one over, everything go okay with that? Yes, the Tulsa station is up and running. They do need to do a little antenna work yet to get it tuned. We're looking at waves now trying to get up to the antenna to readjust it without trying to take the antenna down. They did such a good job of putting up the pole that I don't know if it's going to be possible to get it down in the same space and then back up again. So they're looking and getting a lift truck right now so that they can go ahead and get that fine-tuned again. We are getting out about 15 miles in the Tulsa area, which is very good for a micro station. One of the things that we've been passed on from another micro broadcaster in the Oklahoma City area is a new antenna for our micro station. So we're going to spend about an hour one day, probably sometime in the evening as weather permits, and we're going to pull down an antenna, and we're going to go through some physics about how to get an antenna down and back up. Again, a lot of physics classes here as some of the guys that were at the first week and testify the fact that uh... they didn't realize they were learning as much as they were as we were going along will show you how you can get somebody's antennas down just with manpower and get back up uh... we'd like to get this antenna back up as soon as possible because this antenna should give us another fifteen miles radius too so uh... we can cover some of the smaller towns around here plus we can actually start doing a little more advertising that the fact there and these programs are available. So getting another micro station out a little farther while you're here too. You've got to get out. We've got the pitch in for everybody here before it took us about 30 minutes. What usually takes us an hour and a half to do with everybody is signed a task to feed the animals and that's a good so that people understand how to handle and how to be around livestock too important if you're going to try to do this in the future. Horses are still one of the most dangerous animals out there cause more accidents every year than almost anything else in the area here. We moved some cattle around yesterday and had a wild cow from my neighbors that had gotten the pasture and she broke a couple of gates and tore some stuff up. We finally got her in the trailer and off to the sale barn for my neighbors. So we're going to show you how to do some of that too. This is any one thing that you're going to learn here. In fact, you're going to go away with so much information on guarantee by the fourth day you're overloaded start promptly on the eight that talk will go through our safety buddy and the trainers things we're going to try to do is get down to the range and make sure everybody's weapons function correctly and that everybody's zeroed so that we don't have to worry about that and the day's falling mike's going to run classes almost all day and all night we're not going to quit when the sun goes down we're going to keep going in for dinner a quick break and we're going to go right back at there's a lot of training that we can do at night that's also going to be very beneficial and another thing that you know goes on in the evening and we've done it both the other meets is uh... after everything shut down for the night men this varies every night as we get everybody sit around campfire or uh... not feasible to do that that night will bring everybody in the house to every evening sitting down uh... having everybody go over and mistake and that hasn't worked everybody got to put this two bits in throughout the day and if anybody got behind on anything or missed anything throughout the day that was our catch-up time and I'm telling you that was one of the best I think we did out of the whole deal. It's so good to have all those Patriots together and just sit down and talk about what's going on and what you're trying to do and just having some good conversation. It's just, yeah, that is probably one of the best parts of the whole deal besides all the training is just sitting down with everybody And then having an opportunity finally, you know, a lot of these people say, well, I don't know anybody in my area. Well, here you go, guys. You got a chance to talk. Everybody's got a chance to find out. We've got other people in some of these areas that we can point you to when you head back to your area. So it should be a great adventure. It's all spent moving, ever-changing adventure from the time you get here until the time you go home. So it won't be much downtime other than the time you sleep and the time you eat. So just care and ready to go. Now there again, whatever rest you can get, you got to learn to relax yourself. In other words, when you can rest, when you can lay down, if you are in a rest period, you have to literally shut your system down. Don't think about sitting around. And I know that's going to happen. People get excited. They're really motivated. They're pumped up because things are looking great. I have had to deal with a lot of troops in these situations, especially when you have many, many days of operations. And initially, it's hard to get everybody to understand, yeah, I know you're here with the guys, you don't get a chance to meet them up face and in person all the time. But when there is a rest block, and this is important because in combat operations, you're at a 24-hour clock on top of everything else. You're one shift, and there's another shift taking over. And you sometimes overlap because of contact. But in many cases, you're still working on different cycles. and each person has to do their job. So if you have LPOP, you've got to stay alert, there isn't any sleeping there. Radio monitor, there can also be again other smaller details that have to be taken care of. Execute them as quickly as you possibly can. If it's something that involves just a repetitious task or something needs to be done. However, When the instructor gives you a specific course and instruction, you do not cut corners. Cut corners with a chainsaw means you usually lose your toes. Cut corners with a skill saw loosely means you're a nine fingered or eight fingered carpenter. We don't want to see that happen. Okay, so common sense. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance, as we know. And also again, what the instructor says is what you're supposed to do. and it may seem repetitious because that happens a lot too, Elfie. I understand how that is. When everybody's hearing the same instruction and there's 30 or 40 students, everybody's got to hear it again because you're going to repeat it to each one of them as you put them through the course. Elfie, you want us to go around? You got to go. I can stick around. My wife's doing all my work for me. Oh, it's a vacation hour. Okay, well, that's good. You stay where you are. We still have Don there. And we're at the top of the hour. As always, God bless the Republic. We shall prevail. The Empire is on the run. Alright, well ladies and gentlemen, Don, thanks for being there. Alpha, you stay right where you are. We should have Mike Nesrop with us a little bit too, by the way. Hey, there's a gang of buggers.

A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Indist 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 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 will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear?
