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. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be 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 I awoke, he 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 trampled 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. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I am Mark Cornky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Central, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on Reflectors. You can pick up information on that by going to the chat room in libertytreeradio.4mg.com. We are on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska and the Aleutian Islands over there in the corner. Way over there in the corners we go over there towards Russia. We are also on the Hallmark Network, 8 colonial states plus many different tendrils leading out and away from both states to North Georgia. We are on the Hallmark Network in the Ohio Tenderloa headed towards southeastern Ohio, moving down the highway there. So, with that being the case, the Golden Spike for the final link of three different network mechanisms that are being built will probably be in southeastern Ohio. And that will be about eight to ten days. We'll see what happens. Maybe as little as seven. I'm optimistic. And don't forget Mark. Don't forget hundreds and thousands of disks that are being passed around. In fact, people are listening to us right now, days after the program, sometimes even weeks. That's right. And the many, many different ways that we are being sent out via disk. and by Memory Stick and so many others. Guys are too numerous to mention and I know that we see that because we see waves of feedback depending upon how well you guys are passing the word on. So I want to say thank you. Also, hi to our friends in the military. We had a lot of guys listening and gals listening there in many, many different ways. You guys are doing a fantastic job. Appreciate the gift that we just got here from Alternate Drop from the mail site for. Everybody did a fine job there. I want to say thank you and to our friends with the 8th. You guys are doing a wonderful job of keeping out of the bad guys' wars too. The date is the 6th of May, and I'm right, May of 0th of 2009. I'm hearing a little wash in the background. This is live radio. Sometimes we're getting a little... Yeah, I think that's coming off the phones. There's something there. Yeah, but it's not my phone. I think it's something else. I think it's the conference call system itself. We've got a little static on it. Yeah, it could be happening. We could have some problems there. Anyway, that happens on occasion. Technology from all over the planet. God knows how we sound through five different systems that are sent out to the bar extensors. stream ends of the different radio systems that we are using. Anyway, we are working on a number of projects. We just had Dave Moore up last hour. By the way, I'm going to reinforce this again. Spider Firearms, they make the uppers that are in 50 caliber. These systems are incredibly comfortable to shoot. We were joking about it at the last hour. The bottom line is, guys, It is not anything near what you might imagine for the amount of flash and bang that you get. Very comfortable to shoot. They drop right on an AR-15, lower receiver and you can plug and play. So take the time, find out more, give Dave a call and again that is Dave Moore as a matter of fact. 407-957-3617. That is 407-957-3617. That is a That's www.ferret50.com. Take the time, plug in, check them out and you'll see what we're talking about. Ferrets are really cool systems and again they can be custom built to your specs. I like more barrel people. That's all there is to it. If you're going to be building a weapon up like that, the more barrel you've got, the more energy you're putting behind the bullet that's going down range. And yes, it's heavier, but in the process, hey, it's the same price for one length as the other. You might as well get what you can for the money you're spending. and that will keep you happy. But there are a lot of interesting developments, especially at 50 caliber, and as was mentioned with the wildcats that are out there, which are solutions to the problems that they've created and administrative problems so everybody has to dance around is what it comes down to. And the thing is, what really POs is when they create these restrictions and we come up with better performance range. Now, I'll give you an example, and this is why we're promoting the Sabo cups in the same way, the discarding Sabo cups. J&D, and I touched on this last hour, this is going to lock right in with the .50 caliber rifle. First of all, you've got a .50 caliber half-inch upper. It does not require any paperwork. It will drop on any AR-15 frame. Any lower, just pins. You know, the two-pin system, guys, come on. Then you turn around and you need a superior, a battlefield superiority cartridge. Well, end load. One of the solutions as bullets become more difficult is to go with sable cups and discarding sable cups and a solid metal dart. The advantage is you can push to maximum velocity that case. You can put that bullet up right where you want, but it's literally at laser range. Guys, when you're pushing 5,000 feet per second plus or minus, you're looking at no travel time to target. And especially when you're looking at, you can look at using tungsten carbide. You can use it as, yes, that's expensive, I know. Then you can look at bronze, you can look at brass, you can look at copper, you can look at solid steel, 41, 40 chromoly, or drill rod, hardened. and then re-harden yet again if you want to. There's all kinds of fun things that can be done. And with a half inch projectile like that, you got a lot of weight and in the process, remember, no contact with the barrel. Remember, the SABO cup is what does all of the work there to catch the lens and grooves and to spin that round downrange. Now remember, when the SABO cup and the bullet leave the barrel, the little butterfly fingers that separate allow the bullet to float on down. The SABO cup works kind of like a parachute to a degree, or again, air brake. And what it does, those little fingers slow it down. It separates, and the bullet, which is heavier, proceeds downrange. Now you're looking at very very desirable accuracy combined with high velocity and maximum penetration Incredible accuracy if you decide to work at it and to find out more about the discarding sable systems Which by the way the 30 calibers are right now available 30 caliber discarding sable will work in your Tokarev pistol. Oh my goodness and all the way up to 300 win mag and any other .30 caliber rifle round you can think of. Dad, real quick, USS Tropican in the chat room says Fox 9 Eastern. I believe that's reference to the broadcast he was talking about earlier in the chat room. Fox 9 Eastern. Okay, there's going to be a piece on the Hannity program about defending yourself. in light of some incident that took place, that's what we were requesting. And so thank you again to Tropicana, appreciate that. And that'll be Fox 9 Eastern, which is the same time zone as ourselves, about less than three hours out, right after we end the 8 o'clock program, as a matter of fact. And so, if you get a chance, it's supposed to be on how to defend yourself. My problem with that is whether or not it's going to be duck, cover, roll, hide, or, you know, set your hair on fire and scream. Use a cell phone! Use a cell phone! What do I do? Throwing it at him? 911! 911! It's like, well, you know what, uh... I don't know that they necessarily show up any faster in fact if you tell them oh my god And they've all got guns and all of a sudden as you're listening you can hear the police over the scanner as the brakes start to come on and they slow down oops Now what you need to know that maybe you just told them was a house fire and tell them to show up with the police and the fire department lots of sirens and everybody get here fast when you're in serious trouble like that you know what you do is you call and you say these guys busted in I shot him I killed them all they're all dead then when they show up and there's gunfire is still going on then they have to do their job Well, wait a minute. No, either that or just tell them. As we always just said, the other option is just tell them it's a fire and get here now and maybe throw some police in there. They may not show up for a situation where you're in trouble, but they will show up to fight a fire. So you get lots more witnesses and a lot more sirens coming at you that are a lot noisier than just a regular cop car. Hey, that's not a bad choice after all, is it, guys? But still, no cop is going to come to you as fast as a speeding bullet. In fact, they might slow down and just kind of wait until they think everything would be done and over, so all they have to do is fill out paperwork. And the last thing you want to do is be another casualty on the enemy's list. Now, real quick here, again thank you to Tropicana for that. We appreciate the follow up because that's something we needed. And for all our friends in the chat, we might want to check this out. It's kind of like the 2020 piece, remember? We knew it was going to be biased and it was going to be set up and it was going to be BS from the beginning. What a surprise. So, again, for all of you listening, pay attention to that. We'll see what direction they move with it. And, oh, after all, only trained professionals should really defend themselves. The rest of you just need to lay on the floor and twitch. Well, I think we need to at least do a spoof on that about cars and open it the same way. This is not a debate or questioning whether or not cars should be legal or banned or whether they're good or bad. This is just an unbiased look at it and then just run through all the car accidents and everything for a year. You'd need more than an hour to do that, wouldn't you? I don't know why we can allow for fully automatic cars to begin with. Yeah, we need to go back to those Fred Princeton things. Well, I'll tell you what I hear. What might be a caller? Who do we have? Oh, we have a beep, but we don't have a caller. Okay, well, I'll tell you one more time here. I've been talking about J&D sales, guys, but I haven't given out the info, so pay attention here again. because J&D Components is out of Orem, Utah. J&D Components 75 East 350 North. They're located in Orem, O-R-E-M, Utah 84057. That's J&D Components 75 East 350 North. Orem, O-R-E-M, Utah, U-T-A-H, 84057 and their phone number is 801-225-7007. That's 801-225-7007. Cell phone is 801-372-3807. That's 801-372-3807. And their The website is www.jdcomponents.com. That's www.jdcomponents.com. You'll be talking to John, Doug, or Joyce. So you have quite a selection. Anyway, this is going to deal with part of our problem with regard to bullets, because bullets everybody is running out of, everybody is short of, and production is going to have to go up and online as quick as we can. By what John said, they got about 120,000 SABOs on site. That sounds like a lot, guys. But remember, 1,000 rounds, 1,000 SABOs per case. I don't think that would go very far over all the gun sales. If everybody who was buying firearms was buying one round of ammo for themselves, it's not going to go very far, is it? That's right. And we know hopefully it was much greater than that. We know it was. We don't have to hope. Well, we know with ammo, nobody's just going to go out there and buy one round. So come on, guys. You guys do have a caller. Uh oh, we do have a caller. There we go. Who do we have? Spike in Indiana. I couldn't get to my mute button fast enough. before you got back in there. That's okay. Go ahead, Spike. What you got for us? I had a PBN special report today from Fort Wayne, Indiana. A man was shot at the bus station in downtown Fort Wayne because he had a gun. And somebody picked up the payphone and called 911 and said, hey, there's a guy over here at the bus stop with a gun. I'm scared. So they came over and two officers saw him. He took off running and they shot him. He went to the hospital for critical injuries. Part.co.cc on the information page. You can find the link there and there's a video where you can see the bus stop. It's a nice new jail They hooked right onto the courthouse. Wait, wait, wait. Spike, real quick. They said that he was running away and he went for the gun? Yeah, he said he pulled it out. So he had his back to them and they opened fire? Pretty much, yeah. That's the way I saw it. And to be honest with you in Fort Wayne, I got that with his gun. On the news, Clifton, you see on the little thing There's two officers over there standing there and guarding a gun that the the supposedly brandishing you know there Why would they be guarding the gun first? I don't think they threw that he had it I think they threw it down to make it look good because they weren't giving out any information about it at all especially where it's a shooting incident too and The bus station somebody made a call well you know the the other problem there is somebody down that one eight hundred snitch number, huh, right? Yeah under a grant line Well RIT LINE. Hey that fits. We got to use that one. 1-800-RATLINE. R-E-T-L-I-N-E. Well whatever acronym we come up with that it's got to stay. I just can't understand the mentality of these people but I should know because the bus stop in Fort Wayne pretty much and they're in and out. Yeah they're retarded. They might get scared and trouble for the guy. So again we'll again go ahead and give out the point where we can actually or the location on the page where we can find it again please. If you go to theintelligentsreport.co.cc and click on the information link on the left-hand side of the page. Is that your new URL for the archives? The .tk link still works, but the first three days of this week you couldn't get to the page using the .tk link. Do you have a redirect on that website right at the beginning to send you over to the new page? I understand, but what about the .tk page? Does it redirect you to the new site? Oh, no, it's still the same site. That other one is just to redirect to. Alright, I know. I'm just saying, it's like at the top of the page, you should put a link on the .tk so it will take you over to the new one. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. I don't have that done, but I will do that. Very good. Anything else exciting going on on the other end there with you? No, I just wanted to call in real quick and give you guys that. I've been listening. I like sharing you on the Terro Network. That's pretty good stuff. We had a little bit of fun there. Of course, we went on through the wee hours and it's supposed to be more of a round table. So again, once we're talking there, we kind of get on one side. We'll make sure that doesn't happen again though. He wants me to come on there and I'm working on something on the straw man. making what John Harris has done with the English system and the American system in his three another day. You guys have a great afternoon. Before you go, I don't know if you've been listening to LPR during my hour in between, the seven and eight o'clock hour, have you been paying attention to the music show? Once in a while I catch it. Except it's going to be calling for gun show information, militia meetings, training exercises, any information that needs to be put out there or updates to websites like the intelligencereport.tk. If you have something that you put on the page that you want to let people know it's there, feel free to call in. That'll be every Friday. Okay. We'll do that. I'll archive that too. I appreciate it. I'll tell you what, again, keep everybody up to speed with what's happening there and then whenever you want to jump in, like I said, you can stop and give us a ring. pay attention to what's happening at your state capitol right now. If you can, maybe if you want, do a little call in down there and everybody else listening should be doing the same thing at their respective state capitol and ask them if there are any new commerce legislation pieces that the Fed might have dropped in their lap, especially having to do with treaties or contracts with regard to firearms. Well, they didn't like me calling them there. I called them about five. Since we got on the phone and closed down the borders, I would just put it blank like to do things and you just do them any way to make sure that they are independent to see what is getting ready to happen next. I would wake up. And I think actually I have called as many times as we can when I have been out in town and used the pay phones and used the phone here. I have called this location several times. And remember if all else fails, call after business hours because they have to listen to all of those phone messages. Why? Well, somebody does, so you're wasting some of their time. Everybody, if we all did it, there's thousands and thousands and millions of us. And if the phone's tied up, somebody's got to be doing that rather than, well, other things. And they'll notice real quickly to see, close the border down. Close the border down. Close the border down. Close the border down. Now, another thing, real quickly, I got you here for a second. I know this still kind of pertains because Mexico was a big threat. We had to save Mexico from America because of our evil guns. Have you seen a single piece on the drug lord south of the border in the last week? No, they forgot about that. They went with the flu and now that everybody is not paying any attention to the flu either, they don't know what to do, Mark. Isn't it fascinating? That's almost the feeling I get. You hit the nail and hit the course. They can't go back to the drug lord thing because that was focusing on the business, the real business, with the scam over the border. It's fascinating to me that it's like they were beaten on the drum. You've got to admit it, they were beaten on the drum. All of a sudden the drum disappeared. And they're flailing in air. And it's like, oh, well wait, you told us the masters. Can you imagine Darth Vader? Yes. Now you will first tell them all about how bad the Mexican drug lords are and then we will go after the American guns. Oh, wait a minute. I don't think this is working too well, but we can do it, I guess. So then it's like, oh, oh, wait a minute. That didn't work. Oh, hold on. We've got a drug epidemic. No, no. We have the next pattern. and all of a sudden pandemic was harped upon. Think about it. How many times did you hear that two weeks ago in the news? Well, I'd like to know what pigs have to do, what pig disease has to do with guns, you know. That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. But we did hear them spewing that, didn't we? Well, yeah, back in the past there, right before that, they were talking about the Mexican drug lords and the guns, and I've been monitoring C-SPAN since I've been laid off. And that whole week, they had all kinds of people up there that didn't even have anything to do with them saying, well, well, we need the reasonable gun control. I know you guys have already seen all that, it wasn't really a... One thing I did see that was a report where there was a... I can't remember the guy's name, I got it written down in my notes. But the guy sat right there on TV in bold-faced light and said, this wasn't made in a laboratory, this just happened, this thing takes other things in and absorbs it and it mutates. And I'm like, ow! It mutates, but it doesn't cross like that. They know that. The virus can mutate, but it doesn't cross species like that, not... and not still retain the characteristics of the other viruses that it's mixed with. They openly said it mixed, not that it mutated that it mixed. And somebody had to do that. That's not natural. Wait a minute, guys. I remember, man, I'm telling you like Pink Floyd, dude, remember to find comfort from pigs on the wing, man. Remember, it was in the song, dude. Yep. Well, they are on the wing right now, Mark. That's for sure. They don't know what to do. They're trying to figure out why nobody's scared of the flu. There's an article on that that you'll go to when you read the book about the guy getting shot. About the guy getting shot was the all-there's 20. Whoo-hoo! Big deal. So none of them are near our viewing area. That just sounds like it made up to me, doesn't it? Where are they then? See, that's interesting. They're all sprinkled around us. They're all being circled around us. Nobody's got to be within driving distance of a guy with a microphone, wouldn't you think? Yeah. I mean, I'm a little confused there. It's like we want to interview you about your pig flu. Oh, wait a minute. You look kind of Mexican Not to broadcast on we oh damn we can't use your body man. I thought you guys have some problems with my brother. Where is he? He's not real. No, man. He's for you guys. Look Yeah, we pick up Well, I think we can what's cute is we can contain bird flu in China and Make sure close the borders down and not let anybody in from China without a medical check You know all the chickens, but when it comes to the pig flu coming up from Mexico we can't close the border we can't check people coming off the airlines and All this other fun stuff where supposedly we've got all this heightened heightened security for biological Chemical and all this other warfare, and they're more concerned about grandma and her walker than they are about anybody being sick Yeah, they just got their head so far up the new world orders backside. They can't see this to the trees I think one of the questions, guys, real quick, and again, this is pertinent to what's happening right now. One of the questions we have to ask directly is, what UN treaty is preventing us from closing the border? Because that's really what's going on here. They don't want anybody to know, but there is something, and I know there are several that we've covered over the years, but there is a particular part of border 21 that has to do with the same thing that happened with Kosovo and Serbia. that we cannot militarize our borders including, and there's a whole list of stuff that they count as militarization, including our border patrol. So technically under that treaty, our border patrol is illegal by treaty, but you know, we're still doing it anyways, so the treaty is BS. So we should be able to set our military down there and actually secure the border if we have to. But they're not going to do it. One of the things that's right now happening, guys, and this is one of the things, they don't expect us to ask the right questions. Remember, if we don't ask the question directly, they'll skip around it. And that's one of the things they're figuring, tongue in cheek, they're doing, oh, yeah, well, we're thinking about it, well, yeah, you're thinking about it, but they won't act because, and here's why. So what we need to do is we need to hammer on this with them that, no, no, we understand exactly why you're not working in America's best interest. and this all has to do with a fictional contract that has nothing to do with our American form of government, our contract which is the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, and whatever they come up with, well first of all we need to take that whole building, that whole UN scam, walk it over to the middle of the Atlantic like we've said, and dump it in the deepest trench we can find. Hopefully not killing too many deep sea creatures in the process. But, I mean, contamination alone would be horrid. At least being way down there, it won't affect us way up here, not right away. And that would be our best choice, number one. Get rid of that scam and then take all the shysters supporting it and run them out of this country too. Well, Dad, no, real quick, what we should do is offer them a chance to join the original United Nations, which has a far better plan, but they'd all be expected to do uphold to its standards. which none of them would do which is why they only give one of our states a vote in the UN because if it worked the way it was supposed to like it does with Russia and the other places each one of our states would have a representative there in the UN because they're independent little countries in and of themselves. You know that as well as I do. The United States is the original United Nations. It is there, but none of the other dictators like our form of government, which is why they wanted to create their own little clique in trying to force us to join theirs with only one representative, because then the rest of the world can tell us what to do and they can... well... Twist the screw, let's just say, on the US, which we've seen them doing and it's happening right now. Well, the Titan here, guys, the most important is, and this has to do with the issue of the arms, they're trying to come at the arms however they can. The numbers speak for themselves for what we've seen in the last three months. Now, we don't have Aprils yet. April just passed by and we're already a week into May, forgive me. And 1,259,000 plus approvals took place in February and in March. 1,345,000 took place for the month of January, February, March. There we go, got it right, Mark. And so April is still to come and we're now into May. And you know it's funny, but some of the guys, and I've been talking to a few of the guys in the industry here, and I don't think they really quite know what's going on from all directions because the numbers consistently have increased. Now as far as the type of weapons, a lot of stuff that's sitting on the shelf that's left with the exception of the new replacements is not something that everybody considers a priority. And to a degree, I guess you might actually think of it that way except that you may not be able to get anything if you don't pick it up right now. And both action rifles and certain types, especially the very pricey stuff, Very expensive competition, 12 gauge guns are not really in anybody's inventory of things to do. Working weapons that are field grade are what people are interested in and that's what they need to focus on for production. And they need to make sure that again, there's a certain number of people going to do the presentation work. But guys, it's unique in the economy soft. It's amazing that things are going the way that they are with the economy the way it is. And everybody has done a good job of acquiring pretty much everything that they need out there to include following the recommendations for firing pins, extractors, and ejectors. Lots of spare mags and going right down the shopping list and making sure you follow through on what it is that you need. Anyway, Spike, anything else? Just one more thing. Here you go. Go right in, please. I can come and get my gun if they want it. There we go. And again, this is Weapons Wednesday. Thank you. We needed that. We appreciate the call. God bless. Bye bye. You too. God bless. And again, Spike with a special PBN report and also a reminder, this is Weapons Wednesday. You heard the action of that fine firearm. And I will remind everybody too that again, better to have something than nothing. If you cannot afford a $12,200 assault rifle, a supposed assault rifle, in reality a semi-automatic light rifle slash carbine, guys then pick something else that's within your range and at least get up to a certain level. The Moissan they got is a beautiful rifle. The K98 used to be the standard as far as surplus. The Moisins are the ones that are coming out now. fine rifles they will get the job done they can be uh... used as a there's a base of fire weapon they can be used for placement fire obviously they can be even upgraded with additional optics whatever you want to do there purely a matter of what kind of money you have to spend but for under hundred dollars you can pick up a decent rifle and for the dollars you have left to get some ammunition spending about another hundred dollars you can pick up a good chunk of ammunition and have it sitting there on the shelf and then start to accumulate more But 7.62x54, the moisten they got is a fine weapon. If you're looking for a battlefield kit to set up with the moisten or the K-98, the standard US military cartridge belt from World War II through Korea actually goes back, forgive me, all the way back to World War I, the same basic model, to World War II, Korea. Then, into the early part of Vietnam, the Grand Belt, as it was called, the cartridge belt, with the 10 pockets and with the standard eyelets for regular web gear, is one of the solutions for all of you that are carrying bolt guns because you don't have to dig deep down into a pocket. It was designed to hold two stripper clips or one 8-round D-clip for each of the pockets on the cartridge belt. Now that's exactly the kind of system you're using and you can get five round stripper clips for your moistened egg yachts. You may have to seek them out, look around through the shows to find them, but they are out there. And so what you do is you load up your primary combat load in the stripper clips, load them into the individual pockets. and congratulations you now have a combat worthy LBE that is ergonomically designed to support that weapon system. High end still, let's bring up one even better. If you're just starting out and you've never fired a rifle before and you want to get some training in, 22. It might not seem like a lot of power, but it's going, it's probably the cheapest one to buy ammo for right now. You can buy a lot of it. You can get really good with that both action rifle or, you know, semi-auto and you're going to hit your target every time. There's no kick. Get good at placing the target and upgrade from there if you can, but if you can't afford to, it's a good way to start and if nothing else, you can give other people support. Exactly. And a game getter, training rifle, and for utility, fighting weapon, and people going, ah, it's only a .22. Okay, I don't want to get shot with anything. And for the amount of ground- Dad, can I relay a story that Grandpa told me about a .22 round, hitting one of his partners when he was a police officer and what it did to the inside of him? I mean 22 is a devastating round. It takes the path of least resistance if it gets into you and It bounces around You're more likely to die from that because they are not going to be able to cut into you and find the projectile if they do they got to try and follow that wound channel and it's just gonna be all over the place guys it's not something you want to get hit with it actually is a very effective very good combat round exactly and again the twenty two is reasonably priced uh... i do you know i have not seen and i noticed this guy's uh... we've got wolf ammo that still coming in early spring distributed we don't know and of course uh... barnall there's a couple of others there's a whole bunch of russian twenty two that came in as steel cased ammo uh... about a year and a half two years ago is the last time i saw a little wave of it but i've not seen it in any quantity recently I think that's rather fascinating because Steelcase 22 of course is going to be more abusive to the weapon, but actually pretty effective and reasonably priced. So my question would be is where did it go? I mean there is a bunch of the other Russian high power stuff showing up, but it doesn't seem like there's any other Russian 22 anywhere to be had, at least in the normal channels we've seen. So I'd be curious, anybody's got an answer on that one. Well, it's really cute as we've been seeing in the SWAT magazines and whatnot them talking about tactical 22 Whereas some of these SWAT teams are switching over to the 22 round because it's cheaper and it is more devastating and Really it can be especially close quarters. It can be really devastating Well with any of the automatic weapons, especially that have been made over the years with a 22. It's just like a literally a chainsaw I mean it It's not a 44 Magnum, but it's certainly, especially when you see multiple strikes or hits, you have multiple kinetic energy response from several different points and it creates literally a stunning effect. The .22 itself can be found in anything from .22 short. which would be basically again for training to 22 long rifle HV, which of course is what most people buy. And there are accelerator loads such as the yellow jackets of old and there are many other new variations on that which are a hotter 22 load. Now with hotter 22 load you're going to see a little more spread. There's greater variance in actual performance but for close in defense that's not going to make a whole lot of difference and you want what basically if you're going to use multiple bursts with say a semi-auto 22 and drop three or five rounds into a target, then you're going to get bullet spread, which is not a bad thing because what happens, the shock trauma of the energy, the energy of the rounds being, you know, being felt at several places at once, is like a buckshot load. Only in this case, I'll bet one round virtually behind the other as fast as the action, well, as you pull the trigger, the action operates and you have five rounds down range. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Again, that felt against the body, it's almost as if it's simultaneous. Working in a target rich environment, the .22, especially if it's supporting other combined arms weapons, can have its niche against suppression fire, volume fire, in a situation where you need a lot of lead to go down range. If you can find a .22 drum dead, you know as well as I do, they're hard to come by and they're expensive. Oh, for like the Ruger 1022, yes. And there are a number, you know that's, well of course, what's happened is they've dried up. If you can find one, they're worth it though, aren't they? I mean, you can put a lot of rounds down ring 22 and it's not going to hurt your wallet like it would be if you're doing, and nobody's going to stand up and ask you, hey, are you shooting at me with a 223 or is that a 22? One of the most interesting things is just in the last year, a wide range of items have virtually vaporized from the industry. Whatever was out there laying around that was left over in the Ruger 1022 large capacity mags, in many cases, little point here, back in the 70s and early 80s, a lot of lookalike 22s were built. based upon using the Ruger 1022 design base magazine. Now they were built up as drums, they were built up as a number of different stick mags, and they actually were high capacity. But even though the weapons themselves were not readily available, a lot of the mags were brought in in anticipation to the US or were built in the US, and then the weapons ceased to exist. They were no longer allowed to come in, or the companies stopped producing them. Well, the spare mags are showing up here and there in different places. And you have to dig around. You're going to have to actually look around in the inventories of odds and ends stuff. Companies like Sarco, or one of them may have it. any number of different places, any place where you go to the shotgun news, any of the older companies that have multiple ads, hey, give them a call and ask them because they're what they are. They're Ruger 1022 compatible, but they were designed a little differently to meet the needs of the simulated weapon system that they were being used for. And these again are decent little rifles. They too are now, the weapons themselves are commanding high prices because they fit a certain niche. One of the advantages, there were several companies making AK lookalikes in .22 caliber. Finally, by the way, the Russians started bringing one in themselves, or at least Romanians also I believe, and they didn't, but the people importing the weapons have, and so even magazines are available for these now, for the newer versions. Well, the older variants We are designed to operate like an AK so that basic familiarity would be developed, especially muscle signature, with an AK look-alike. Pistol grip, buttstock, Even the magazine itself operated in the same way, but it was a limited capacity mag. Well, those rifles are actually quite valuable for deep training, especially when you're trying to familiarize a lot of people, and well, every time you pull the trigger, it's a half dollar a round now. A 22 caliber round for a lot less is still the best way to go. and you can afford to train a lot. The basic philosophy of any trigger time is good trigger time is absolutely true. Now this brings us over to something else I want to touch on before we lose the hour here. And that has to do with Airsoft. I was just going to go there, Dad. I was just hearing... there's all these snide comments about Airsoft, which I think is rather goofy, and foolish, because I can go one step farther. You want to see the ultimate Airsoft? A couple of the companies have, and it's not airsoft at all guys, the Germans years ago came up with plastic bullet rounds. Now these were designed so that they were for the .308 rifle and right now they're available from a couple of different companies by the way as surplus. And all that they did was a light grain plastic bullet working off a plastic case with a steel base and a conventional primer. What this did is allowed the soldier to actually operate his conventional rifle with an airsoft type bullet slash projectile going down range. I'll bet these were a little faster and would break paper quite comfortably in the short range. Well, we saw that with the 2020 piece, with the glocks that they were using. What did they do? Standard glocks loaded with paint? is Glock Air slash paintball basically is what they were doing with them with that class that they did also what was the first thing on that 2020 program that they made a point to attack and it was the first thing on the agenda which should tell you guys something the first thing out of their mouth was It's not good training. You don't want to do Airsoft. Get away from it. Basically, is what they were saying. through basic pistol or rifle training, bringing you up to battlefield readiness with live fire maneuver. And you are going to see Aerosoft used for the very reason that we've mentioned. The advantage is if you do not operate as you would with your conventional firearm and focus on all of the basics, you do not hit your target. A miss, 500 misses accumulatively, do not constitute a single hit. 500 misses are 500 misses. So the advantage is to bring up through a walkthrough, then through wooden simulator, then to airsoft simulator, and finally to live fire allows you to proceed through the step by step instruction process and bring a person up to a skill level comparable with the rest of their teammates. and and get an actual combat experience to a degree because of the way you react. When you're doing normal training, you're going through maneuvers, nobody's shooting back at you. And if they were, you know, kind of have a little problem there. With hair soft and paintball, you can get away with doing that and actually get a response reaction. You can feel the hit. You can take cover or concealment, you have to react, you gotta respond. That's one of the things that we've been working with with the Lost Boy patrols that we've been doing. You guys saw one of them there, that is Airsoft, the stuff that we were using there, and eventually we're gonna be up to real weapons. But with those boys right now, what we're doing is we're starting off small, you know, small steps. and moving forward and you notice all those guys there we were stretching weapons safety with them and that's one of the most important things you can do and yeah those guys are young never guess what you gotta start young and you gotta keep practicing guys In fact, that's the whole idea here, guys. We take advantage of the tools of the trade that are available. The military came up with Airsoft years ago, but the project was so expensive, and they decided it was so cost prohibitive because, well, actually, the idea was time prohibitive because people weren't willing to fill out the paperwork to draw out training aids the way that you'd have to draw out a regular rifle. It was easier just to, it was less paperwork to pull out the rifles. Then there was to pull out the Airsoft type systems that they came up with in the early to middle 70s. And again, that was reinvented with the plastic projectile cartridge systems you see that are done that actually have a cartridge and a paintball system. That was another variation to show marker ID. You could actually have three different shooters in an environment with three different color markers. And that way you'd know beyond a shadow of a doubt who did their job and who did not, who succeeded. and who failed. So in a live fire situation this is valuable because you're working with individuals, you have different responses, you want to find out who's performing. Now with the Airsoft systems you have mimics of every basic weapon that's out there, the AK, the AR, all the pistols. You want to spend more money, you can spend, well, under a couple hundred dollars. You can buy a metal version, I'll bet pot metal version of your existing firearm And so you're getting all of the performance. The mag drops the same way. The action works the same way. Performance is identical. That's priceless training people. All trigger time is good time. Now you want the flash and the bang? You get that when you graduate to the next step. And that's how it's supposed to work. In each phase, we are promoting and improving the performance of the individual, bringing up their level of expertise. and demonstrating it progressively through each of the training phases. We are looking at some really interesting stuff coming up here with the next video, next filming. This is one thing, we have so many videos that are actually in the can that we need to take the time to load up. The biggest problem is the amount of available time, the number of different things that are going on, and the fact that there are also projects that are basically in the folder that we need to do or should do. This gets back to something else where we are talking about Patriot Wood. instead of Hollywood and Hollywood, we need to consolidate a certain amount of resource and we need everybody to pitch in with this. We are going to be harping on this a little bit more past Weapons Wednesday. sponsors help out a bit but we are not quite there and it does help when you guys help us out I've given you guys a total of what it costs per month to run the station as we are up and running now. It's about $700 a month. Last month we didn't quite reach there so we're in a little bit of a pinch now. But we do need help and many hands make for light work as we keep telling you guys. We've got two PayPal buttons up on the website for monthly contributions that are extremely small and a lot of people have told me why am I bothering with that. Well because again many hands make for light work. A one dollar monthly donation if you guys can do that. That's one less dollar that I have to worry about trying to scrape together to keep the station online. If you guys can afford five dollars a month there's a five dollar a month dedicated amount that you guys can donate there every month that will come off your PayPal account. That would be a big help. Or if you think you can donate more, we've got other items which will send you as gifts for your donation which you can check out on the donation page. We also have a donate whatever amount you want without getting a gift back if you guys don't want a gift back. If you just want to help out that option is there now Friday we need about six hundred dollars to keep the Everything up and on what online here seriously. That's what we're looking at right now One of our sponsors couldn't pay and that's why we're in a pinch so Hopefully everything will be straightened up next week, but yeah, that's where we're at right now again, I've got the NBC tape which should be up on the donation page tonight the 2disc DVD that will be up there tonight also we have other pages that we are working on for our reflector streams that will be just for them I'll have the information available for butter knife and the other guys who are running reflectors or micro fms Hopefully tonight that will be finished. I started that work last night. It was a suggestion and we are working on it. We're getting it done. But that's a lot of stuff to do and anybody who's been up here can tell you my staff is extremely small. So give me time guys and I'll get as much done as I can. Alright? And again, give all the information out as far as where they can go on the page to get all of that. Alright, we'll just go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com right there in the top bar. There's a donation link and off on the right hand side. There's another button that says donate. You can click on either of those. It'll take you to the donation page and that has all the information on how you can send us a donation whether it be through the PO Box at PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130 or if you want to use PayPal. Very good. And again, for everybody out there listening, we do need assistance there, but there are many ways we can do this, whereby we are supporting each other. And again, remember, we've got the different texts that are available, the DVDs, and the idea behind that is to get the information out in a solid format, a clean and pristine format that you can use to reproduce and to share with others, because that's the other part about this program, is trying to get the information out. We've got everybody moving in the same direction as ourselves. I'm seeing numbers that are in the tens of millions. If you look at the different specs, for instance, for firearms approvals, which is only a scratch of the actual number of sales guys, you're looking at tens and tens of millions of people that have plugged in and are up and online and do feel the same way you do about what's going on. So the bad guys know this too. They're scratching their hearts and they don't know which way to go. They're frustrated. They want to come in and try and break up the country. They're trying to do damage to us. We're not going to let it happen. We're going to keep the country together and we're going to maintain our liberty in the process. And no matter what it takes, it's going to get done. A lot of work in the future here. This is Weapons Wednesday, by the way. So remember, keep your powder dry. Your pistol is close at hand.
