Mark Koernke discussed weapons, equipment, and preparedness on Weapons Wednesday, April 29, 2009. He covered camouflage patterns (Rhodesian camo from Camaby Keep), ammunition suppliers (CenterFire Systems, AIM Surplus, Ammo Man), and weapons maintenance products (Gibbs lubricant). Koernke promoted alternative communication networks (Hallmark net, Golden Spike project) and announced upcoming meetings and events. He extensively discussed DIY weapons projects, including a proposed 5.45x39 bolt-gun upper receiver for AR-15 platforms as a cost-effective training alternative, and referenced suppliers like Sarco Inc. for 1911 frame and slide castings. The show included caller discussions on hate crimes legislation and border security, and concluded with announcements about militia training manuals available through Patriot Broadcasting.
And speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You trade it 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... Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom 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 running 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free. Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories Central West East and North Well ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on the micro effect network in the morning. Oh wait a minute No, that would be the a.m. And this is live so we're on Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg.com pbn dot 4 mg.com caught you there tonight We are on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska and the Aleutians of course, way over in the corner. We're on the Hallmark number at Cape Colonial State on the Eastern Seaboard, but we're expanding there and soon we're going to be driving the Golden Spike Inn somewhere probably in southeastern Ohio. We're going to intentionally echo that out so that we have three echoes to represent the three separate districts. of control with regard to putting the alternate hallmark network and another network on main up and online and hopefully will have representatives in place. They're going to have a little bit of time on the radio. They're going to have to decide that Sunday by the way. We have a meeting at the restaurant on the east coast, a meeting at the restaurant on the east coast on Sunday, five o'clock usual time. and it's mandatory but it can make it should make it double upon your uh... driving so in triple in quadruple so that safe parking spaces because there is not much room and a lot more people are showing up to be a very busy event be ready and other information and technologies and again in preparation for the golden spike project which is going to be uh... or proceeding probably the next I would say week and a half to two weeks where the looking Cleveland looks to be enveloped or will be shortly. It will be up and in the grid for the Hallmark net. I understand that the alternate is somewhere in the middle of Indianapolis proper though I have I know they are in the center of Indiana, but they are going to be making some major jumps here because of the micro grid that they are going to be tying into that will get them probably to central Ohio within a very short period of time. We will find out more about that after this meeting on Sunday and let you know what is going on there. The idea is to have this system up. Operational security is the key to this thing, but once it is up and everything is in place, more and more people will be connected. The idea is that when they shut the Internet down people, we will be the ones stepping forward and demonstrating a complete solution, not just whining about the problem. Now we can live without the Internet, so this is only for specific types of key communications, though we could pretty well plug just as many people in as the Internet does right now, at least in the United States. Look at it as one big internet system where everybody will still be talking, but the bad guys will only be cutting off their nose to spite their face not hurting us. It is Weapons Wednesday. This is the 29th of April, year 0, 2009. The reason I brought up camouflage last hour, guys, and the considerations there is there are some people that are building some of the old stuff again. By the way, It is a unique camouflage works quite well under most conditions, but the company that we don't really have anything to do with them But if I see something useful, we're going to mention it's camaby keep K a ma be e camaby keep they're in the shotgun news on occasion and the number is 570-434-8000 in other words, 8,000 570-334-8000 it's K B NEP.ABE.net. A Rhodesian camouflage top and bottom. It's like $49.95. I always hate the nickels. OK, but it's $49.95. And they will have up to 2x in these uniforms. Now, if you're looking for a camouflage pattern, you're familiar with a row pattern, and you have had it in the past, you're not going to have to have any explanation. If not, go to the web page. Take a look at the pattern. See if the color ranges, or do a little research. and see if the color angels match what you need for your area of operation. This row patterned camo would work very well since it was in a paintbrush variant. It would work well in the southwestern U.S., say in the border operations, especially during some of the color shifting. Here in Michigan, it works quite well because it has a dough skin range in it, a darker medium brown, combined with greens and lones that work out very, very well to blend in. A little more natural cover added to that, and you're pretty well disappeared. It is a dazzle pattern variant. Everybody who's been listening to the program knows a dazzle pattern variant. It actually is difficult to focus on, even in motion. which is unusual but it's true with several of the more unique patterns they're not office uniform patterns although the road camouflage is actually pretty comfortable to look at now they do have hats two variations and I think they've got helmet covers in place you need to check with camaby keep go to five seven zero four three four eight thousand column uh... let me know you heard about him on the intel report that'll help us out there uh... also center fire systems by the way they do have A little bit of ammunition that's come in, not much guys, but they've got some ammo. Mostly it's the partisan ammunition. Pretty decent price, average price nowadays. 1-800-950-1231. That's 1-800-950-1231. And the other thing that they've got in, they've got the M9 type mass made in Finland. They've got the M10Ms. For those of you who are looking for maybe M85s because you're already committed to but you haven't seen them for a while, they have a complete M85 kit. No, they're not $10 a piece. They're quite a bit more, but they come with the canteen, the drinking straw, all the other components completely self-contained, ready to use. And they're brand new out of the box, just like the other masks. But they're running about $37.50 a piece, I think. So you'll have to double check that to confirm, but it's CenterFireSystems.com. Another thing, they do have some Mini14 mags in. Of course, even as I mentioned them, they may be gone. I know a lot of you are looking for Mini14 mags. We have another clutch of those that's available through MainMilitary.com. But if you need M14 mags and if there's an option between 20s and 30s, guys, I'd get the 20s. Reason reliability, the 20s are more reliable in general if there's a problem in the long run. And again, less likely to malfunction into critical points. So the 20 rounders are your first choice and then go on to the 30s if that's what they have. And again, center fire system is another option there. Another last thing that they had that I checked on there, and hold on a second, I wanna double check to make sure they may have some 8K74 mags. Now, this has been up and down, but they've been getting only little clutches of them. However, they have not been doing those as a backorder thing. If they have them, they have them. You've got to call and check. So if you're looking for AK-74, there's another solution. Also, Romanian, 8mm, 1970s in stripper clips. AIM surplus. They may have some left. Again, I'm always saying may because even as I'm mentioning it on the air, they may have finally sold out. You never know. But AIM surplus, their phone number is 888. 748-5252 that's 888-748-5252 that's 888-748-5252 they also have T33 Romanian mags for the Tokarev they may be out of those again too just about as quick as you get them those things are scarfed up and gone But, the 8mm Romanian in the stripper clips, 70s ammunition, 340 rounds for about $100, maybe a little more now, but probably been pretty well keeping it consistent. Don't know if they still have the penny shipping, if they do, not bad. That's AimSurplus. Their other phone number is 512-424-9960. 513-424-9960. and that's AIMSurplus.com. AIMSurplus.com. Sounds like we have another caller. Who do we have? Hey Mark, it's Tom from... Hey Tom, jump in there. Go ahead, please. Anyway, yeah, it's time to arm up. It's time for war, as you say. All the other things you were mentioning last hour. I thought I was on the train last again. But, uh, say pass the bill. Two hundred something to a hundred something. The, uh, hate crimes. Everything we're going to be doing will be a crime no matter what, and they're going to try and force it with their revenuers. You can see this coming. Oh yeah, and then someone will civilly sue you, and if you happen to win, the US government will win, and you'll go to jail. Right. Well, it won't really make any difference, because I don't think, well, number one, first of all, they're going to send somebody out. They'll send the goons out to threaten anyway. Somebody's going to get in somebody's face, and it's going to click off, and that'll be it. So that they were foolish enough to push this nonsense through. Now, what was the vote again? I don't remember the exact number I heard it on another show right at the beginning of about four o'clock my time. Two hundred something, the nays. I'm going to get home in a few minutes. Actually we need to keep track of the names. That's the big thing now because we'll know who's who in the zoo for the rest of the nonsense and know who to blame. Because everybody thinks this isn't going to run in a vacuum. This ain't going to run in a vacuum. Know who to blame. Know who it is that's going to have to be It dealt with accordingly when the time comes as far as explaining to them, well, we remembered what you did and you're what caused this problem. People are going to have a hard time with them, oh no, wait, no, that's how it works. Because the bad guys are obviously, this whole thing, even like right now with this whole influenza nonsense, okay, first of all, we don't have swines and birds bouncing around together and again mixing with a human virus the way that they are. This is fabricated. It's obvious we could have just shut the border. Like everything else, maintaining control over American soil as Americans would deal with 99.999999% of all the problems that we've seen them whip up. We're going to protect Mexico, fine, shut the border, nobody goes south, nobody comes north, period. We don't do this haphazard nonsense, oh you get to go north, but we can't let anybody go south. No, no, no, no, no, we shut everything off, period. Settles the whole problem real quick. Anyway, go ahead. Well, just a wrap up so you can get back to a topic on point. What seems to me is you show people what's going on. Here's who's really running the con. Come on, people. This is right in your face. No, I appreciate it. Thank you for the follow up. That's great. And I think we might have another caller. Who do we have? Uh, yeah. Steven from New Mexico. Steven, jump in there, please. I have the hate bill tally here. You're right ahead. It's a 49 to 175. You can find that article on Boston.com, the search for the headline, How's 179? Very good, I appreciate it. By the way, are you planning on trying to get to Alfie's meetup? Sure, yeah. I'm going to try to make it the way it is. I would recommend it, and this will give you a chance, you're going to get an opportunity to train like you've never trained before because these guys have their act together. So if you do, again, for everybody, might as well repeat it for everyone. I'm pretty sure I got the website right. Am I correct? There we go. That's correct. Okay, very good. Well, appreciate the call. So 249.179, thank you very much. Again, follow up on that. Everybody being cock-locked, ready to rock and roll. It's not a matter if they're going to try something stupid. They are going to try something stupid. There is no negotiation involved with this, guys. There's no place to go with it. There's no, oh gee, well we'll just ride this. You ain't going to ride this through. There's nothing that they're going to let sit. That diversion you've been trying to ignore is the attack you've been expecting. That diversion you've been trying to ignore is that attack that you've been expecting. So let it roll. I mean, the bottom line is concentrate on supply and support. Make sure that everything's squared away. For our people in the military, you all know what this means, and everybody understands what we've been discussing for the last several months already, both behind closed doors and publicly. It hasn't changed the conversation any different no matter where we have to meet you so that everybody knows what to watch for when the time comes. I think a big question, well, let me go back to this little thing with this flyover with New York. It makes no sense to do what they did. I'm just touching on that because there's an example of idiocy and incompetence tied into management. It wasn't just the military. That didn't happen in a vacuum like that. The bottom line is they knew about it in Washington. They knew about it in the White House. Allocating the resource to begin with, the aircraft that were involved. designates that this was involved with the executive office period. And there are certain things that have to be taken into consideration when manipulating or shifting manpower, especially when you're looking at executive command and control lift capabilities, both for the presidency and the vice presidency. So it's all BS that they didn't know. That's nonsense. There's a lot of other stuff going on here with regard to this. But there's another demonstration. Why all you people in New York? Pass it on. They need to fire everybody there because they did the green weenie. All they said they were going to do was reprimand us in some way. You know what? Live with it. If it's a choice between all the nonsense it was created, we don't know if anybody was killed over that or somebody did decide they were going to commit ritual supaku because they thought, oh, this is the end. Here it comes again and this time it's going to be worse. I don't want to hear any of that nonsense. We don't do any of that. If you're going to do that, come on guys, grab something, pull the pin and hug the enemy. Boom. There you go. Down we hear about it. I looked from a building and I didn't realize until the last minute it was not what I thought it was. Boom. No, it doesn't work that way. Anyway, other stuff going on real quick here. We have also a party on the beach this Saturday. Party on the beach this Saturday. Party on the beach this Saturday, but it will be at alternate site 23 alternate site 23 keep that in mind We are expecting everybody to perform the three S's and to be properly squared away top to bottom because there's going to be a lot of Public activity coming up on the same day We also have a couple of other special lift projects to deal with and promise to support somebody here that needs some physical physical assistance in the AM that is going to happen. So I just want to remind everybody we've got a number of details. It's going to be a heavily loaded Saturday. That's to be expected. And in addition, I wanted to make sure I got this out again for our friends that are listening. Oh, by the way, it gets to me down there too. That's right. We might see Tim Abel down there on Saturday, by the way, too, with the leather barn. For a lot of you that are doing maintenance, you're going to be working on your weapons, guys. We've mentioned Gibbs before. Here's the number to call 734-654-6607. That's Tim Abel. He's the Gibbs representative. Get hold of him. You want to access Gibbs in the spray or in the model form, I'd recommend either. Gibbs works exceptionally well. It is an excellent weapons maintenance support system. Once you've got it on, it protects by sealing the crystal structure. This is one of the things we need. does not interfere with the operation of the weapon in any way, shape or form. Easily takes care of the moisture problems. Now there are some other lubricants and there are other penetrating materials out there. Some more expensive, some less. Hey guys, can't force you to do anything like down the same. We can't make you do anything. But we are giving you recommendations so that you know where to go and what to do. Now, another thing on that note before I forget again. Wolverine Military Outfitters, give them a call if you're interested in particular support equipment, especially if you're in the Midwest. If you've got any questions about things that you need, we've obviously mentioned the other companies. But Wolverine Military Outfitters, 734-508-6024. That's 734-508-6024. The reason I'm bringing them up. He just got a shipment of the 105 transport tubes. These are the all metal with the dogs and the full o-ring seals. They are in nice shape. I've seen all of them. This is an opportunity if you're looking for a storage item for pieces of equipment, ammunition, whatever. They are industrial, they are girthy, and they are stackable. But they are a tubular system for the 105 and the 155 rounds. Also, for other objects that are demolition types, these are useful tools designed to keep the moisture out, keep everything in, and keep it from being dinged, damaged, or altered, spindled, folded, or mutilated. You're going to have to call Mark to find out what he's got right now, price-wise on those, but I do know he picked up three pallets. 734-508-6024, and yes, you can call right now. 734-508-6024 is the number to call there. And last but not least on this, number one, there's some 50 caliber available and of all places, an ammo man. Wow, it might already be gone again. I looked at it so it might be gone even the same day. But ammo man.com picked up some 50 caliber ball at $2 around but it is Berdan Prime. That is not a problem. $2 is a very good price. It's a brass case, 1973-76 production, I believe. Ball ammunition, they also have M2AP that's both from the 70s and newer. That's only about $350 to $4 a round, which still isn't bad, even by a few years ago. It's again, Berdan Primed. It is brass case. It is Argentine. The guys have shot it, it works, but again just to understand that it's Berdan so you have to take certain considerations for reloading. And yes it can be refabricated for reloading, we can do that. If you do pop the primers and you're using a hydraulic method, save the Berdan primers. Those can be reactivated too. Most important save all primers you eject from any cases so ammo man dot-com ammo man dot-com a ammo man dot-com and they have $2 and $3.50 50 caliber ammunition for damn prime the reason I bring that up is because a lot of people are looking for 50 caliber now I know you're that's almost like some of the other rifles guys, but spider firearms We've had Dave up many times Dave Moore is the owner That's 4-0-7-9-5-7-3617. Dave Moore www.ferrett.com www.ferrett50.com That's F-E-R-R-E-T dot com. There are committed receiver systems that are made for this too that are separate, but you can buy this. It's a non-firearm. Now they're not the only ones, but if you can get in and Dave is able to produce something, I know he's got back orders right now. Everybody's got more business than they know what to do with. I will give you a little hint. We have another project in the wings. I have asked several people, and I don't care who finishes this type of project first, but 545x39 add-on upper bolt receiver. Same concept but scaled down to 545x39 that will drop onto an AR-15 lower with no special tools, no special adjustments. It just clips on and it's a bolt gun. Now, why do you want to do that? Well, this is another way to put a little extra life into that AR-15 rifle that you may run out of ammunition for. 545x39 is right now the cheapest light rifle cartridge out there. There is more 545x39 probably than anything else that's reasonably priced. Every time you pull the trigger on that AR right now in 223 it's 65 cents, 75 cents, a dollar around, 75 cents, 65 cents, 75 cents, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar. Every time you pull the trigger that's what you hear in your ear. Well how about if you can pull the trigger three times, four times, or five times for every one of those dollars that you have to spend. Oh gee that's a whole lot cheaper shooting isn't it? Well the advantage is if we can do an inexpensive and yet very serviceable upper receiver group. We don't expect to use the magazine well in fact just to reverse. This is a single shot placement rifle. The upper receiver, one of the cool things about remember building upper receivers for the AR-15 type weapon guys is that if you do a bolt gun the sight system, in other words the scope, the optics, you know the iron sight system too will be zeroed in for that upper receiver automatically. Oh, that's right. That means you can carry in a small pelican case an entire upper bolt gun system like that ready to pop, pop, pin on and now you've got yourself a 5.4.5 tack driver that's comparable to the .223 in terms of performance but is much cheaper to take to the range. Again, there is an advantage here. The upper receiver can be configured to look enough like the AR-15 that for basic weapons performance and rifle marksmanship. You can still be training with that AR-15 platform, albeit with a bolt gun, so that the individual gets greater experience in use and performance with the basic rifle. Most important is accuracy and consistency in performance with regard to cheek weld, shoulder weld, breathing, squeeze, and pock around goes down range. We get positive or negative reinforcement. Either A, you squeeze the trigger, it doesn't go off when you expect, that's how it's supposed to work by the way, weapon discharges, sites are properly lined up, and you cut a hole where you want to in that paper, or you knock over that silhouette, or whatever you're using for a target for confidence verification. If you miss, it is very obvious, oh by the way, and a miss, well yeah, you might suppress them to a degree, but it doesn't count for anything. Work the action, extract the round, drop the next one in, close the bolt, go through the procedure, line up the sights, kapok. There you go, now you're on the paper where you need to be, or now you've knocked down that steel silhouette, or you've knocked down that pop-up target the way you were supposed to. But you're doing it for about $0.22 to $0.23 around or less depending on who you buy it from as opposed to a dollar around for a .223 cartridge. Guys, save the .223 ammunition for when you're really going to need it. But for training and familiarization with all the new people you've got coming in, you're going to need alternate solutions. Now it's really cool. If we can basically, if one of these projects comes through, then a .223 or a .762x39 barrel receiver system would be just as likely. Whatever we need in a light rifle that we have readily available, caliber wise, and there are many, many options out there. So, that would purely be a matter of custom issue. But, 5.45x39, there's a lot of it laying around. It's typically the 53 grain military Russian and it will work just fine. By the way, if I'm planting a seed there with you and you're going, hey, I think I can do this. Don't you hesitate. Don't you wait. Start working on this project. Get it done. And remember, crude but effective. Where there is no need to finish the rifle, don't. This is something that the Germans learned about the middle of World War II. Any place where there's critical surface finish, fine. Any place where there is material that can be left on board and it can be left rough and it doesn't make any difference, that's fine. Okay guys, so if you're going to build one of these, and by the way it would not be that hard, let me give you a little hint. Go to ferret50.com. Take a look at the images of that add-on receiver in .50 caliber. Consider scaling it down. and simply making a 5-4-5 variant on that system. Wow, that wouldn't be that hard, would it? Now, if one of you has a Ferret 50 right now, an upper, if you look at that, you take Mr. Mike, you know, in Caliper, you get your feeler gauges out there, and you mic the thing out and get all your specs, your basic specs, then you scale everything down accordingly to meet your needs to accommodate a 545 by 39 chambering. Barrels can be had. Now here's another thing. Gun Parts Company, which is old numeroch arms. Gun Parts Company. Gun Parts Company. Find them, they're in the shotgun news on a regular basis. It's old numeroch arms. They have barrels of all kinds. I don't mean barrels that are 50 gallon. I'm talking many different chambered barrels for other projects that have been discontinued. Now don't do a Mauser barrel or take something really nice like that. There are a lot of project barrels that they have in .30 caliber and in other calibers where there's a lot of meat. The barrel is a blank up unit and you can have it chambered to whatever you want and put it or apply it to a project of this type and make up whatever you want to. Think about it. 7.62x39, 7.62x25. Hey, wait a minute, that's right. Remember, the base of the case for the 223 matches up perfectly with the 762x25 case. I think what you might be able to do is something like that, say with an older AR-15 receiver, something that might just be laying around. I don't think anybody's really thought about that one completely yet, but keep in mind that there's a lot of 30 caliber variants, 30 caliber barrels, that are stacked up like cordwood at Gudden Parts Company, which is old numerous arms. And I'm talking tens and tens and tens of thousands of barrels, guys. Now, including barrel blanks, so that if you have to make a 5.45 by 39 barrel, it would be possible. In other words, we're talking stock barrel blanks still need to be bored. That's your problem. That marks you figure out what to do. Anyway, hopefully we're giving you ideas. One of the things to remember here, guys, is that we have to come up with solutions and we have to be able to produce on our own. We're going to be working on that. One of the things in that area, and I don't want to forget about this, and I know I've touched on this many times, we do have KT Firearms sponsoring us in the morning, and they have a solution with regard to building up your own weapons, including handguns and rifles. Well, here's another solution. Sarco Incorporated has standard frame slide castings for the slide and frame. They're 60 to 70 percent finished. In other words, they're on the edge of, but they still need machining work done. Or, a rat tail file and a little bit of patience with a Dremel tool. Get my drift. Anyway, www.sarcoinc.com, S-A-R-C-O-I-N-C dot com. S-A-R-C-O-I-N-C dot com. The item number is C45225, C45225 for a 1911 standard frame and slide casting combo. Price $36.95. Yeah, you heard it right. And that's a steel frame, 1911 frame and slide casting combo, $36.95. You can accumulate all the other parts and magazines, guys, from the gun shows, off the tables, from friends with junk inventory parts they have laying around, you name it. Now they also have a 1911. frame and slide casting combo in a compact 45. $34.95. Hey, it's compact enough they take, oh that's right, about $2 off. Anyways, C45226, C45226, C45226, that's part number. A lot of other stuff there. They've got also CLT031. CLT031 that is the 1911 unfinished barrels, ten for forty dollars. That's ten barrels for forty dollars. Four dollars a piece. Or if you buy single ones, four dollars and ninety-five cents. Gee, you save a dollar if you buy a bunch of them. Not a bad idea. A dollar per barrel. Anyway, www.sarcoinc.com. That's sarcoinc.com. That will give you at least some idea of places to go. Don't say we didn't come up with solutions. Otherwise, well, other considerations here too. By the way, I'm going to remind everybody again, I don't care what helmet you're wearing. In fact, isn't it funny? I'm losing people going, oh, you ought to get rid of that steel helmet. Get a Kevlar helmet. Guys, if you've got a steel helmet, that's what you can afford. You use it. Most of what you are using a helmet for does not have to do with bullet deflection so much as you are noggin bouncing off a tree in the middle of the night. You all understand what I am saying there? Because I have seen enough of that. In fact, I will tell you flat out, I know of at least two incidents, maybe another one, but two for sure, where the old steel pot that I was wearing is what saved my life. And it was impact injuries. In fact, in one case, my head, when I hit, and flipped. My head was just like the sharp end of a spike going into the ground. Fortunately, the helmet was there and it took up almost every bit of energy. I flopped over not feeling very good, but I'll tell you what, I'm still breathing today. So, I can't complain about that old steel pump. By the way, it was a Swedish helmet, Swedish combat helmet. One pattern that we've used for many years and used to get quite economically and they were cheap enough that you can almost buy them and throw them away when you're done at the end of the exercise, but they were well built. Of course, we didn't throw any away. We just made sure they were passed on to other troops. And we bought more. Well, anyway, whatever helmet you got, I'll remind everybody. Everybody always thinks this is cool. Oh yeah, like Delta Force, they use hockey helmets. Does everybody remember when that was the rave? Oh yeah, because Delta Force uses hockey helmets. We all need hockey helmets. I remember like that one yesterday. Oh, by the way, where does it come from? Oh, that's right. Remember Black Hawk Down. Wow, read the book. Don't watch the movie. Read the book. The movie was done for the Department of Donuts, okay, the Donut of Destruction. And that's why they got all the cool toys to deal with, guys. Okay? Read the book. And understand that the reason for the helmet being on, the reason he used the hockey helmets is like they said, for bouncing your head off things as much as anything. That was what it was for. So there are a lot of other solutions by the way. And again, Mr. Spray Paint covers a multitude of sins in color. If you go to a yard sale you can get, for instance, Bike helmets, not the scoofy ones with the styrofoam that look like you're an insect or something. Although those would work, I guess. They're a little poofy and also not very durable. But you can find the skull cap type helmets that actually wrap around the ear, cover the forehead and cover the back of the head. OK, so they are little brain buckets. Those can be camouflaged out, or you can camouflage cover them with a raggedy old helmet cover. Cut the material down accordingly, lock it into place, wrap it up in there, use a little piece of duct tape, your choice, whatever you've got to come up with, and that will flatten out the color so the thing doesn't have a lot of reflective surface. Otherwise, hey camouflage you guys, that's what Mr. Paints for. The same is true with even US helmets or whatever. Remember there are many different camouflage covers available for the old Mark I steel pots. They're not a bad system, guys. They have been around a long time. There's French variations on that, German variations on that, Argentinian, Norwegian, and I think even Swedish variations on the M1 US piss pot from World War II to at the beginning of Desert Dust, although most of those were gone by then from our service, they're still put around, and are in service with a lot of other countries. They are going to plastic to a degree slash Kevlar, but remember that that doesn't offer any wave technology defense. One thing about the steel helmets is that they do offer protection against the wave technology like the thermal stuff and the radar range technology. They're saying, oh, it will make you feel like you're dancing around and whatever. Well, half of it is supposed to create confusion with the brain. Well, just to give you an idea of how a steel pot works when protecting your head from wave technology, take one of your metal pans. No, no, no, don't do that after all. I'll ask it this way. Have any of you ever by mistake taken an aluminum pan for instance or a pie tray and put it in your microwave, what happens? Oh that's embarrassing isn't it? Well that's basically how a steel helmet protects you in the field with regard to broad broadcast microwave when it's used and other wave technology. So while it doesn't protect you as well from the bullets, although still from shrapnel, It won't necessarily protect you there as the way everybody would like, but on the other hand, it does offer some bounce and beany protection and wave protection technology in the process. So there are solutions and there are answers. They just don't want to talk about them. You all need more plastic. Nah, I think I'll stick with what I got. Doesn't mean I don't have Kevlar helmets, guys. Come on, you know I've had access to them at different times when we keep them. But we also use everything else and we don't throw anything away. We will never have enough of all the tactical gear that we need. So anyway, hopefully giving you some ideas there and address the solution. But helmets, remember another thing, even if you do have a bunch of different helmets, as long as you have the same basic or consistent camouflage, for the covers or whatever, people don't notice. For the most part, they may eventually catch on, but remember the consistency in some cases for at least patterning, for identifying a formation or unit. Color is all that counts. The basic color, as long as it's there, most people, it passes right by them as far as detail goes. So keep that in mind and remember that also. Now this gets back to something that I was mentioning about drawing attention. I want to reinforce this before we run out of time here, but we were talking about five shade desert pattern chocolate chip camouflage. One of the reasons that that's so successful is because it's something that people are not conditioned to look for. Even though when you look straight at it, some people go, man, how does that blend in? It's not so much that it does blend in to a degree, depending on the environment, how exposed you are. Some places better than others, obviously. What is important is that it doesn't send up a subliminal or a subconscious signal or flag. in the fall and brown season. That's one of the things we've watched over and over again. We have been hunted and we aren't talking training exercises. We have been involved and I've been involved directly in first hand use this equipment in aggressive actions where it's strike, counter strike, where the bad guys were hunting us and we were infiltrating to hunt them. I've had individuals that have virtually looked straight at myself and others and looked through them because they could not acknowledge. Again, their mind was not acknowledging the variance in colors because A, they were close enough to the environment that they blended fairly well. Also, even though it was a pattern, and even though the pattern had some variance from the background, They did not subconsciously identify the pattern as something that should be observed, something that should be monitored, something that people were watching for. It's rather interesting having seen this first hand in what was a highly aggressive combat situation, aggressive, and I mean in every sense of the word, with all dimensions of the battlefield in motion to include air mobile operations. for the bad guys, not for us. We defeated the helicopters, defeated the thermal, we're able to defeat the dogs, everything, top to bottom. I can say that with full confidence and personal experience. So don't tell me it can't be done. And it can be done on a larger scale, purely a matter of what discipline you have and how you use your equipment and how you use the working knowledge that you can accumulate. It's not an if, it's just a matter of when you decide to embrace and become a higher student of the art. That's one of the things we're hoping to promote in the process too. It's not that it can't be done, it can be. I've watched it, I've done it, I've seen it work. Okay? But you've got to come up with the tools, you've got to have them in the toolbox to get it done. Now, that's where again, different colors come in and or mix and match because again you're creating and disrupting the signal so to speak. A lot of guys that are bow hunters already know about this by the way guys. They don't wear one particular pattern. They actually mix and match to break up the pattern and break up their overall design so there's not a consistent line to look for. Now, I'll bring this up in another direction because this is something we've actually experimented with, too. One, and this sounds weird again, but some of you may have already experienced or noticed this. Interestingly enough, OD green combined with blue jeans It actually worked pretty well. For much of the same reason, although it's also a matter of shading and color, and it was dependent upon the age of the blue jeans, how well they had worked or earthed into the environment. That doesn't mean rotting off the guy's body because they're soaked in body sweat and natural oils. So much as the idea that the stuff doesn't look new and doesn't have a sheen to it. In fact, it has softened colors that are blending in more with the tree trunks and with the lower cover that makes up the material at leg height. It's interesting that utilizing blue jeans and a regular OD green field jacket with other OD green items was sufficient to actually avoid detection approximately 80% to 90% of the time, depending upon the area conditions. Again, most people think, well, if you think of blue jeans that stand out, well, to a degree perhaps, but it depends on the angle of approach and what the individual is doing. Again, taking advantage of cover and concealment. The greatest concern, what was more likely to be seen? Something else that this day is supposed to be about. Weapons Wednesday. Your weapon is more likely to give you away because of its color. It is physical configuration than anything else you are wearing. It is the most commonly forgotten about component of your battle utility kit that does need to be altered in terms of silhouette and color. This is something to take into consideration. Ed brought up earlier the idea of using socks. You can use arms from old shirts. If you look at equipping number one and equipping number two, you will see many examples of ideas that we have come up with and we have used successfully. They don't have to be super expensive. In fact, they're quite economical. But in the long run, they serve to help keep you alive. They actually serve their purpose and do what they're supposed to do. So again, trying to give you ideas, not just lamenting about the problem. Oh, but they have. And then there's a big long shopping list. Throw that out the window. Another thing with regard to ammunition, by the way, too. And this is something where, well, most people say, well, you don't want them to be confused. You don't want them to be too fuddled up. You've got to keep it simple. It's true that you do. But I would still say that most of you out there, if you know how to set up your combat loads, Not only will you have your ball ammunition in place, but you'll have specialized ammunition in reserve in particular configurations, so it's easy to access and find. Now here's a little trick. One of the things that works is actually to use a piece of tape, could be colored tape, although color remember sticks out if the bad guys can see it. So what you want to do is you want to pick a color that's going to match or blend in with the environment. But you want it in such a way that you can actually mark the magazine so that you know what it is. So that if you were to close your eyes and you were to reach for the magazine by touching the base of it, the base of the body, you could identify whether or not it has a piece of tape or doesn't. But you still need it tactical, you still need it to blend into the environment. So keep that in mind. Make that part of your criteria when deciding how you want to do this. But think, let's say that you have a magazine full of incendiary or incendiary tracer or AP or a particular signaling system that you want to use, because tracer can be used for that by the way. Well, you may want to mark the magazine in such a way, and you don't want to scribble on your mag. You don't want to etch your mag. You don't want to damage it. wrapping a piece of tape, very one or two layers around the base of the magazine, away from the magazine well so it does not interfere with the loading of the magazine. Then you have the ability to identify with your eyes completely closed, in other words, absolutely in the dark. You can reach into a magazine pouch, you can feel the magazine that's there, you want a tracer mag or you want an AP mag if you've got a G3 or HK91. Or, again, the E-Clip would be a different story, but Grand, there are ways to do that too. Again, you want to make it so it does not interfere with the operation of the weapon. That's the most common mistake that's made. and you don't even allow for it to get. Notice I said the very end of the magazine. I don't want it anywhere near the magazine well. I don't want the magazine well to jam up. I don't want a piece of tape. I don't want some gummy sticky from the tape on the inside of the magazine well. I don't want any of that. So keep in mind, I want to keep that weapon as clear of obstruction and debris as possible. So, everything that you do is based on that concept, being able to e-freely and easily access it, and yet still easily identify what's in that magazine or what that ammunition is. Now, this is especially true with everything else you're doing. And think about this at night. You've got to patrol. You can't have people groping, and you sure as hell don't want to guess. So, standard operating procedure is also part of the process, not just for you, but for everybody else. Now, why is that? Is it because Mark is a normal lieutenant? I just want uniformity because that's all I was taught. No, it's not just that uniformity is nice. It looks cool, by the way. Wow, you got legions or whatever. Yeah, that's cool, but that's not critical. More important is consistency in how your equipment is put together and configured so that if something happens to you, Everybody will know where to draw from whatever pocket or piece of pouch or gear or scabbard, a tool or a piece of equipment or a magazine or ammunition that they may need. This is also true with medical support. If a person goes down, Mark doesn't want to have to guess as to where he's going to find that medical compress. There are standard locations that should be established by the units. and by the command that allows people to freely and easily access the gear. But if something happens to that person, another individual will know because it's a mimic. Each person is a mimic, one or the other, with basic components. They will be able to reach in even absolute darkness, go to a certain spot, find the shoulder, and you know that if you go down the web gear, there's the first of the compress pouches in the front. If you go to the rear, you know, the casualty is laying on his stomach, The side of the standard butt pack where it's located should be on the right side is where the other compress package should be located and you can have others set up on the web gear or even in the person's pockets. Everybody understands it's going to carry a medium, for instance, in the front left pocket. That's very common. And a medium in the popcorn pocket in the front of the pants. This is a larger dressing, but this way you don't have to guess. When the time comes, remember, you use up the casualties equipment first. This includes the fact that if the individual is out of the fight, magazines and ammunition will be a priority for use by the troops. I would recommend that it be recovered and you use that magazine and ammunition first. Why? Because you still know where all the stuff is on your gear, guys. And just like the medical support where if you use your stuff when you need it you won't have it. You use the medical gear that's on the casualty that he's carrying. He used the calories to get it out there. He's the first one that uses it when he's obviously down no matter who it is. You are, he is, they are. And this means that when they evacuate the casualty you're not evacuating usable equipment. You see how that works? medical support especially. So there is a priority and pecking order. Now another thing I'm going to address real quick, we only have a few minutes here, is the FM's and PM's that we put out. The PM manuals that are available through Patriot Broadcasting, PBM and LTR. Guys, some things don't change and if they work, you don't alter them for the fun of it. A lot of the system does this purely for the sake of promoting industry, so to speak. Armor vehicles, we go from track to wheel, then wheel to track, and track to wheel, then wheel to track. It's a great way to sell tanks. But when it comes to the basics, SOP, standard operating procedure, hand signals don't need to change. Formations don't need to change. I will say this and I addressed this in the last party on the beach. Expect more from your troops. Expect more from your militiamen. Expect more from everybody involved. Why? Because you have the gray matter to do it. We expected more of the soldiers of World War II than we expected of our troops today and I've heard guys go just reverse and I'd have to challenge them on that. I could pull out a standard SOP manual for 1943 and you take a look at what was required and what was expected of a sergeant or even a regular enlisted man in 1943 and take a look at the lack of expectation with a soldier in the year 2009. Now that's not to completely insult the guys out there but don't tell me how you're the best and the brightest and the like nobody else before. What you're doing is different from what other people have done in the past except under similar conditions. There are men that fought in North Africa. There are men we have in service that have fought in Lebanon, that have fought in the Sinai, or that have fought in the very places where our troops are right now, in one form or another, in clandestine operations, or in many cases even with other services. Oh yeah, it's not like we haven't been there before. So, keep that in mind guys. But most important is we must set a standard. So, that's one of the reasons we made all these PMs up. Now, we've got PM 8-94, how to start and train a militia. If you go, now by the way, if you want a quickie on this, go to our PayPal account. Ed has all of these things listed. You can go to and check them. So, if you want to go through the PayPal system, that's not a problem. It's one of the ways and the reason we do this, number one, get the information out. I want to get it hard copy. I don't just want it digital. If you have a disk in your hand, you can say, man, I got a whole bunch of disks here. I got a whole bunch of information. But if you don't have the power hooked up and you don't have the computer to run it, guys, it's a great frisbee. So, we need physical manual copies in place that you can use. That's all that's required is your gray matter. In other words, your ocular collector, the eyes and the arms, fingers and hands to open the book or in the page. Everything does itself. So anyway, militia training manuals, PM 8-94, how to start a militia, PM 10, militia SOP, and then we have, of course, the Rifle Marksmanship Series and the Anti-Armour Text. Go to our PayPal page, check that out. Get it if you don't have it, make copies if you want to, share it with others. We're at the top of the second hour. It is weapons Wednesday. Donald will be back at 8 o'clock from me. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World War. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on our stay in line. Thank you, Donald. We'll be back at 8 o'clock. Ed will be taking over for now, guys. Is this programming? Alright, you just listen to the Afternoon Intelligence Report with Mark Kornke. Up next is the Steve Quayle show, it's gonna be live. After that, we'll have the Evening Intel Report with Mark Kornke. And after that, we'll have a Friedman Radio Special Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned. Before God, and that our followers of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to intercede for what I'm going to lay out to you tonight. Never in the history of this country have the plans of hell been so apparently laid out in such specific detail with so many people literally watching the implementation of their own destruction as spectators. It's one thing to live in a foreign land with a decree by the king to be put to death as you're found out. It's another thing to already have the plans for all your death. Be on the board. Be absolutely implemented before your very eyes, and people sitting there with their digital cameras just taking pictures of Myrtle Beach while the joint UN forces come ashore. Now, ladies and gentlemen, tonight I have some specific requests. And here's the top of the request. I've asked for a prayer for several people on this radio show. Tonight, I want every intercessor in America around the world at the eleventh hour. It doesn't even matter. Any time you can pray, pray. To pray for a specific individual. You can pray for speaking eagle. It's probably the most important prayer request, and if I can ever have the reason to give you the fulfillment of the request, you'll understand. I want you to ask for protection for angelic and divine protection around him. for his help and for supernatural direction, guidance and understanding. It is that critical, and I'm not trying to be melodramatic, as the Lord God of heaven is my witness. It is that critical. Again, at the eleventh hour, I want you to make him the top of your list. Second of all, ladies and gentlemen, I want every single man and woman in the military, I want you to pray for them that they will have their eyes open by the living God and that they will literally have the wisdom by the Living God to know how to interfere with the Luciferians' plans for the destruction of God's people. I'm asking that you would literally, ladies and gentlemen who are intercessors, pray for the generals, for the colonels, for the majors, for everyone who is a believer in the Living God and follower of his Son, Jesus Christ. It's really important, ladies and gentlemen, that that prayer be prayed. You can pray in any variation you want.
