I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As Iookeed vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Hurnkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines at occupied territories, Central, Southwest, East and Northeast. 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. You will also find us on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Southern and Central Alaska and the Aleutians over there to the left and lower corner and heading all the way to Russia. We are also on the Hallmark Network 8 colonial states plus many expansions and extended friends across the whole of the Eastern Seaboard. And soon the Golden Spike event will be coming up. I want to say congratulations to our friends at the restaurant and thank you to the many companies and businesses and communications that have helped to make the alternate and the Hallmark system and the O system possible. And I want to say thank you because a lot of Americans are really showing their colors. We're going to defeat the enemy in virtually every battlefield that they present and the internet is something they want to shut down. We're going completely around it. and yet we will be parallel. We're going to be able to do everything the Internet can do and we're using every generation of technology to get it done which is really cool. So a lot of solutions. We got the thinkers, they got the stinkers. Let them complete whatever they're going to do. They can cut off their nose despite their face. We don't care. We're going to get the job done. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 13th. You only have a few more days until the Dayton O'Hara Hamfest is coming up guys. You want military signal communications, you want handheld radios, you want battery packs, you want cell phone technology. Why that's right. Remember the Aggie antennas we were talking about? There's guys down there that have them. This means you can get 800 megaggie antennas so that you don't have to worry about omnidirectional beam communications with your cell phone. That means that you can determine and fix which of the different towers you wish to use. And there's no pinging off of the system because that YAGI makes sure that all the signal, or let's put it this way, 98% of it, all goes downrange in one very narrow and specific direction. It makes a big difference. But there's a lot more there. 2 meter, all variants in shortwave, old and new, crystal radio sets. cutting-edge micro pip technology right on back to the stone age or whatever you want to call it the crystal age of radio. Hey that was stone. Anyway a lot more things are happening down there this weekend. They've got two meter links going up. There's all kinds of different hubs and nets that are being set up and that will be running starting probably today testing and then what they'll do is they'll broadcast and you know talk to people coming in and talk to people as they're leaving. A lot of stuff to be found there Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend coming up. and that is the Dayton O'Hara Arena. It's the Dayton Hamfest, biggest on the planet. There's a bazaar outside and there's a whole bunch of stuff going on inside. The whole complex is full. I can't even, until you see it then you'll understand what I'm talking about. Take a hat, take a poncho, take a hat for sun or for rain, take a poncho, make sure you take a notepad and a bunch of pens or pencils so you don't run out of something to write with. take cash and of course take a two wheel cart or a four wheel wagon whatever you want to do something so you can get stuff out of there without you having to strain and remember you want to take some ropes or straps so that you can tie whatever you buy down so it doesn't pull off the cart. Take some straps or take some rope with you to make sure it's secured so you don't lose control of the precious goodies you're going to find there. But you're going to want to take extra stuff with you, trust me. And with something to move, all that fun stuff you'll find. Solar panels of all sizes, from little chip type micro plate stuff all the way up to industrial grade that go on the back of a 2 and 1 by 2 ton truck, guys. Every size you can think of. There's solar panel guys there. There's radio rigs of all kinds. You've got to see it to find out what I'm talking about. So anyway, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So we'll see what happens. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday and we were touching on basic pistol marksmanship and also utilizing a little bit of coaching to get the job done with regard to finding out where your best position is physically to get the most out of that weapon that you're going to be using. Now with riflemen, just as with handgunners, the same, all the basics apply. Except that again, you can take advantage of range. And the other formula, the big formula, it still is incorporated in pistol because you can be engaging in competition at 50 yards. And you're going to see crosswinds that do affect, depending on how high the wind is, bullets are affected in flight. 45 caliber bullets pretty big. However, it's got a lot of energy so it takes a lot more to move it and unless you get a really strong crosswind you're not going to have as much of an issue with regard to range conditions with a handgun. However, with rifle range activity there are many elements to the formula that have to be taken into consideration. Physiology of the individual obvious is key to getting all the basics in place. But then there's a lot of math involved with regard to crosswinds, thermal rise, rain conditions. Also, again, you're looking at a variation or a multiple tier of those types of activities overlapping one another. From the point of discharge of the firearm to the point of impact, the farther you go, the more air there is between you and the target and things can happen. So it's nice to know what your rifle will do under most of those conditions and that's where long range time is a plus. You can get the basics down in shorter ranges and you can simulate the basic engagement ranges of say 800 or 1000 or 1200 yards. That's possible. But once you've got that down and you've been working in that area, you want to get onto a real distance range, a real time range. where you're going to get a chance to see what that bullet does that you've picked, what that rifle and what the rifle sights do for you or don't do for you, what those optics may do or may not do for you. And with the field test time, you're able to re-engineer and adjust your weapon system accordingly. Remember, ergonomics, we're not combat infantry or government troops, people. We get to structure or build, to the best of our ability, a rifleman. or a pistol marksman or a shotgunner, which means that you have the ability to tweak and adjust to fit your needs. Now, before I'm going any farther, I want to mention that on that note, a lot of people have been interested in night vision. I know a lot of you are really looking for a good buy. And Don, we didn't get a chance to squeeze this in, and I found out after the hour after we signed off. Don has an option to access a binocular system. for a fantastic price and quite a savings across the board. So we want everybody, if you can, tune in at 8 o'clock for sure. Come back at 8 o'clock. We'll cover this right after we get into the hour. This is something where it will take 20 people to get it done. There is maybe one person right now that is already looking at tying into it, so maybe we only need 19. But if you have a unit out there that is looking for night vision and you are looking for a reasonable price for some really good collection equipment, in other words, this stuff will bring in the light and it can be used effectively in a tactical environment to get the job done. Well, for our border people, for instance, some of our guys listening are down there in the San Diego perimeter, down there facing that end of the obstacle course. Some of you are with the Minutemen down there in Arizona. That's another issue these be dealt with. We have other friends that are over in Texas. Well, if you're down on the border, this equipment will come in very, very handy, especially for LPOPs or for any type of observation or scanning of wider areas of activity where you want passive night vision. OK, so anyway, Don's going to be talking about this at the 8 o'clock hour if you can. We'll have more information. He's going to have to give you all the data. He'll give you the spec information. You'll know what you want. If you want to look it up, you can find what he's talking about. But we're going to see if we can get this done because he can make a deal on 20. In fact, it's a special situation. He'll explain it. We normally wouldn't do this, but it's something that's become an option. So I'm giving you a heads up. Just to make sure you understand this because one of the other aspects of rifle marksmanship is that there are weapon systems, or I should say weapon support systems in night vision that will drop right on every one of your rifles that's out there guys. So there's not a problem at all with us being able to plug in and utilize that weapon both for daylight use, oh pardon the pun, plug in, and for nighttime use with night vision slash night vision and assisted illuminators to the front of the shooter. Not on the shooter site, but actually dropping either, probably give me an example, one of the neat tricks at night is IRLEDs. Now normal optics, they can't be seen, but with regard to night vision, even if the other guys have night vision, they're going to know it too. And this really mucks with everybody's mind because Their logic is that we don't know about stuff like this or we're not going to think in this dimension on the battlefield. Well, we are. And in fact, you can take all these spots that they thought might be dark, safe corners. We can turn them into daylight and leave them that way unless they want to shoot something. We're talking LEDs that can be powered with. Let me give an example. Maybe some of you have seen these little stickies or little poppies have been made where they take an LED, a watch battery, and a magnet. And what they do is they glue the magnet to the watch battery, and then they set it up with a little spacer, a piece of cardboard. And the way they have the LED set up is that one side is soldered to or glued to the battery. The other connect point is you've got a piece of cardboard in front of it. When you pull the cardboard out, the natural tension of the LEDs, so one lead, will make contact with the other side of the power source, and now you've got light. Well, what's cool is you can take these things and stick them on stuff out of reach and leave them, and they will run for the whole of the evening. In fact, they'll run more than one evening. So the point is that you can actually set these things in place. and step back from an area. In other words, what you can do is you can be in position and have your pickets, depending upon the area where you're going to set up your kill zone or your engagement zone, and you can drop these things into many locations and glue them or stick them or magnetize them to spots where they're out of reach. It's impossible to get to them. And they help to illuminate the entire area. Even conventional LEDs, of course, they would be optically seen. They could be seen in the normal spectrum. So you could actually scan an ID, a red LED, or a yellow LED. But the interesting thing is that any of these light sources would improve your night vision ability. So using them to your front at given ranges, it is an effective way to actually eliminate any hiding spaces. to address the issue of the battlefield with regard to being able to see where the bad guys are moving, you know, where they're moving through and where they are. We've talked about this before also with the aiming stakes. Now here's another thing. You can take that same infrared LED and post it at different ranges, 100-yard increments. or 50-yard increments out to the forward area of the battlefield. And what this does, it allows you to be able to accurately engage a target without having to guess range. Now this is critical for overall accuracy and performance with your long-range range weapons, and we plan on hitting as far out as we possibly can. Another little trick is courtesium. You might recall when we were still, WTPRN was up. Curtissium is available. If you look it up, it's out there. Curtis, it's Curtis-eum. And this stuff is really cool because it is one inch glow in the dark blocks made with a new glow in the dark filament. It just takes regular sunlight. In other words, no power source during the day. As sunlight, it's absorbing energy. When the sun goes down, these things are glowing. And what's really cool about this is these things can be left all over the place. For instance, you can tack it to a telephone pole on your side of the telephone pole, facing say a property or a house or whatever. You know the given distance to that telephone pole. You can either range find it or you can measure it out. Now you can use a blue curtissium square for one distance and you can use a green one for the next and a blue one for the third and then cycle it back again so that each steel number rotates the colors so that you know that every different color is another given distance by either 50 yards or 100 yards and that's dependent upon your way of doing things. You have to choose. We're giving you general ideas. But the cool thing is that at night this gives you the ability to, with your night vision spot check, You can also see the day glow, night glow of the brightness of the curtissium. And what you can do is figure that that's 100 yards. The target is about 10 yards. But what I can guesstimate beyond that, compensate accordingly with regard to sight picture, rest, shoulder weld, cheek weld, breathe, and squeeze, pop. There you go. Target down. Back up and searching for targets through your optics. There's another one. Yellow criticism block. Third criticism block out. 300 yards. Adjust accordingly. Shoulder, cheek well, squeeze and pop. There we go. Target down again. accuracy over volume fire, accuracy over volume fire. So again, just giving you some ideas, ways you can use the LEDs. Just take their Cartesian blocks and consider using a little LED with a conventional low power battery, a battery source. And how about this? Make up a little circuit and hook up a, well, a little solar cell from one of these little, for instance, throw away dollar store calculators that are solar powered. Think about that. Somebody's tossing those out all the time. You see anything that's got a solar cell on it? Grab it. You don't care necessarily about the calculator. In fact, it might be beat up. It may not work right. There's a button that gets crushed or whatever. Who cares? That's not what you want. You cannibalize it for all the small parts. You save the screws. You save any of the other components that might be useful. But especially, you save that little solar block and you unsolder the leads or you snip them right on next to the board, strip them again, and you solder them in to make a circuit. Now you've got a little trickle feed solar cell that can be used to repower your battery and in turn supply the power that's needed for that LED so that all during the hours of darkness it's running the way it's supposed to. Hey, that's kind of cool, isn't it? So there's all kinds of little solutions. Now you're going to have to come up with a supplemental circuit and you're going to come up with a housing. In many cases, you can make it absolutely throw away, except that you could set it up so you could replace the battery at your discretion. But you can use putty. You can use a bondo to make up literally a form around everything and leave the LED exposed. There's all kinds of stuff you can do. Be creative. Think outside the box. and think again, throw away from our direction in areas where it's non-critical so we can save money and use it for more critical components that are supported by the throwaways. There we go. Anyway, ideas. Now, time is 6.21 Eastern. And I would like your help a little bit with some other stuff we're doing. We are, of course, we have our Liberty Tree Radio page on YouTube. I would ask that if you can go to Liberty Tree Radio, check out our videos. In the process, both rate and comment. That would be a lot of fun. Rate and comment. There's a lot of work to do. We've got a lot of good people responding. We've had a great time. We've got some videos. I want to say thank you. I know a lot of people have responded to the video Ambush, which is part of the Battle for the Republic series. I was almost going to load the first of the episode, at least the episode leader, in last night again. We just got so tied up with other things that we ran out of time and there is only so much time of the day. So in the next day or two, hopefully we are going to feed in the next of the first of Battle for the Republic Dance of Swords. The intro for that and we will be doing 10 minute increments to post it all. on YouTube so you have the whole storyline in order for the first episode. So that's all ready. That's crunched and ready to go. I've been spending a lot of time on that. Plus, also with doing some editing on some of the other text for some other projects, I've got a paper I have to review now. One of our friends is going to be sending me a copy of something for a little college work there so that's going to tie up some time but I promise I'm going to commit priority time to that because we're going to keep our word on that in exchange, trade for trade. But if you can, go to YouTube and check out, let's have some fun here guys. For instance, well of course one of the older videos we have which is, again everybody's been really happy with is militia. It's on our YouTube, it's in our archive with our many like I think 50 some videos. make sure you get the number right there. How many videos do we have right now on our page that are ours? Well, we have 54. Ooh, Mark was telepathy. Well, telepathy, whatever it is. Anyway, I got the number right. So if you get a chance, go to Liberty Tree Radio on YouTube, or you can go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com. OK? Then, what you do is just tap our LTR video and it will take you right to our LTR video, Liberty Tree Radio video page on YouTube. Take the time, watch the different videos that are there. The latest one that's up of course is Wendy and the Lost Boys Patrol, April 18, 2009. So if you get a chance to tie in the machine, plug it into that site and watch the video and then both rate it. and comment on it. Now, with that said and done, and if you can, I know it's 54 videos, but if you can go through and help us out, give us the best rating you can and review the videos accordingly. One of the other ones, of course, that, well, there's a little series that we've already done. It's Militia Anti-Armor, Militia Ammo Storage and LBE, Militia Aviation, and Militia Light Armor. Now I do have another one ready which is part of the Militia Know Your Enemy. That one is in the can. I've got to do one more little video clip. That's all original footage again. Whenever you see any of the Militia Know Your Enemy series. All I'm doing there is showing you activity, stuff that we either had to fight in the court to get the video or to remind you of stuff that has been in the public's eye in the past but is now out of sight, out of mind because of time. And that's most important to remember. Then of course we have our many militia training videos and different dates. Like Wendy and the Lost Boys, we also have militia summer training, many, many others. So take the time to go through those. I ask that you watch them. And you will also find specific training videos. Now these are bridging videos, and the reason for that is, well, let's touch on next. By the way, it's 6.25 in the evening here now. NBC equipment and training. Now this is a two disc series. It is complete. We've already run our third wave of mailings. We just sent out another six, seven of them today. On top of the dozens and dozens and dozens, we already have Gus. Trust me guys, we have sent these out. Now I'll tell you what, if somebody wants to, you know nobody's done this yet, but if somebody wants to post it on YouTube, if you got time to do it, or if you want to post it, in fact you want to post on Google video. If you want to post on any of the other video systems that are out there, make up an account if you can do it. and post it on one of the video accounts. If you want to post it on YouTube, go ahead. That's not a problem. I will remind you, it is two video discs. Again, if you are training people, I would recommend this as the single primer. It complements equipping one and two, equipping for the New World Order Part 1 and equipping for the New World Order Part 2. Cover a wide range of subjects and equipment. and specifically cover the most economical solutions. However, and while we touched on basic NBC, what this video training, these discs do, this is a video film, is covering equipping and training. This covers everything you've ever asked questions about. And I've had these questions asked many, many times. This is a classroom setting. This was done by the trainer, specifically on site, as part of five specific tack lanes that were being run simultaneously. And that is one of the next things we're gonna do is explain how tack lanes should be run when you're in the field. There's a reason for this. What it means though is you also have to have your instructors following through and doing their job. They can't fall flat on you. Everybody's gotta do their part and stick to and focus on doing it the way it's supposed to be done. No cutting any corners. They call it professionalism. We call it responsibility. Making sure that you get the job done right and that you demonstrate to each of your students the proper way to perform and that you have to repeat it five different classrooms times however many students are in the classroom. So, you figure it out. Anyway, that's what this is, is a two disc and that's not two hours. We're talking, oh, it's probably closer to four, four and a half hours non-stop. It is segmented so you can stop it. There are many, many sub-chapters for that reason so you can stop it when you've absorbed only so much and you can't absorb no more. We understand that that's the case. Or you may want to use that for classroom activities, for your militia units, or for your family training. This is the solution to that problem because a lot of people have been asking, what about decontamination? What about using or changing the filters? What about the rubber gloves? How do I do the booties? What about the different types of systems out there? Everything is in this two-disc set. That was the purpose behind this class. Now again, if you want to get it, okay, get your pen and paper ready. Number one, you can go to our PayPal page on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. You can go to our LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com page and then go to the PayPal key, which will show up on the right side of the screen when the first screen comes up. The other option is you can order it through the mail and that means that you go to PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. You mail your request to PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN Patriot Broadcasting Network, PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And if you're gonna use a checker money order, make it out to Nancy. Last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E. That's Nancy, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. That's Nancy, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. And when you get that all ready, send it to PBNPOBox194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And it's a $20 donation. Make the money or out to Nancy, last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E, or you can send FRNs, your choice. You send a gift and we'll send a gift back and make everybody happy. Once you've got it, you can copy the disk as is. You know there's a good question about that. Well, if you copy it, does it work the way it's supposed to? Just like any other disk you've copied, guys. So copy, copy, copy. And again, share with your friends. Use this as a classroom structure. That's exactly what it was designed for. Use it as a classroom structure for up and coming training dates. We've got a bunch of our friends in Iowa. I just shipped out the latest to all the Iowa militia units. I want to say thank you because of all the interest and again for the guys there putting confidence in the training packages that we've created. There's a bunch of other stuff that's in the works and it's purely a matter of share time. We need our version of Hollywood. We need Patriot Wood up and online guys. and we need more technicians and I'm going to be talking again about that with our guys this weekend trying to square away the rest of our studio and production operations so that people can come in, sit down if they're going to be here for the night. We've got the ability to let them sleep and stay in place and sleep and get up the next morning and get on with work. But we've got everything from camera technology that we need many, many pieces of equipment. We've got lighting, we've got all that to deal with. We have the editing technology and we're working on stacking more up. So we're constantly building it more. If you want to donate a camera, hey here's an idea. If you've got equipment that you're not using or something that somebody else doesn't know what to do with and there might be something wrong with it even, we don't care. Remember we need spare parts guys. So if you're not sure what's wrong with it or if you can just put a note down, this is what it's been doing and I don't know what to do. If you'd like to donate that to Liberty Tree Radio, then send it to the same address. Box it up. Just make sure it's padded up real good. Put it in a box and ship it to PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, whatever it is, we'll use it. You got some old tripods, the fold up type, maybe you got something that's dinged up, somebody else you don't want to get rid of, and you don't have any use for it, but you picked it up because hey, it's kind of neat. Ship it our way. We will use these things. This is stuff that we will definitely put into service. We'll make sure that nothing is wasted. Anything you send will be put up and online and we appreciate everything that's done. So I want to say thank you in advance there. Anyway, just want to get that point across. NBC, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense. It's the NBC equipment and training video sets to discs. Very long. It covers every subject, PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, $20, make the checker money or out to Nancy, last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E. Again, PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Also on the PayPal account are the rest of our manuals. Check that out. As soon as we get the order in, when it goes from the PayPal account to being printed out, guys, we shoot it out that day. That is a promise. Every chance that we can. The stuff has gone up unless there's something that has been a fluke or a shortage item just for the moment because we haven't got it printed that instant. It will be printed up or will be produced in priority, which we just did a big pile of the equipping, like I said, third wave, big pile. In fact, part of them are right there and stacked up ready to go, already in the envelopes. We are doing this constantly, but the idea is to get the training tools out there where they're needed. There are a couple other videos that we have on that since we're going to go to our again we're on videos here But it is weapons Wednesday by the way There are a couple other videos you definitely want to check out that are in our favorites now the second one back from okay Mostly the latest to a recent one that was saved is DHS propaganda. That's cool, but that's that's politics Armillite ar-10 promo movie part 2 6 minutes and 8 seconds long. If you have not seen it, I ask that you go to our favorites. Use that link to find it. Mark doesn't have to take anywhere other than to LTR. Another thing to look at, which is back a page, about one page, and this will give you an idea of where innovation, again, guys, we've got the thinkers, they've got the stinkers. My belt-fed 12 gauge upper. Now remember, upper receivers for AR-15s are considered to be parts. They're not firearms. Now the only thing I wouldn't have done is this guy put a short barrel on this by comparison to what I would consider the norm. But what you want to do is go with at least a 20 inch barrel with a little package like this. So that you don't have anything anybody can say about it. The overall length of the firearm would be sufficient. And the barrel in a 20 inch barrel would still give you plenty of spread when it leaves the tube. Remember, it's purely a matter of what kind of wad is used with the shotgun load itself. Now, when you watch this video, I'm going to repeat this one. It's a second page in, and it's my belt fed 12 gauge upper. The weapon is going to have to be reloaded. He actually has a jam. But the reason is if you look, he's so intent upon trying to show everybody how things work that he doesn't keep the belt feed straight. And guys, that's why your assistant gunner is an assistant gunner on a belt-fed weapon. It's the job of the assistant gunner to help to keep that link line straight. In this case he's got these big old 12 gauge shells and he doesn't have the belt straight and so what happens is being a little canted it doesn't feed quite, there's stress on the feed system. Where that belt had been put into a 30 caliber can and just snaked into position, that weapon would have functioned flawlessly. Now there's one other thing that could be done, it's a trick that was done with the Maxim's and with the Lewis guns, or forgive me not Lewis, but with the Maxim's What was the other one? Come on, Mark. Even the early Browning's, what they did is they actually put little feed lips, cast them into the receiver. Not very long, but just enough to help keep the ammunition guided into the weapon. Those were done away with in later models. And, of course, as they went from cloth to chain link, this is a cloth feed system and obviously is based upon the Browning concept. You definitely are going to want to take a look at that. And again, it's my belt-fed 12 gauge upper. It is 33 seconds long. It will take you longer to find it than it will for you to watch it. You will notice a couple other things in the favorites in there. You'll notice a guy standing there in a gas mask, a chem-suit and gas mask up above. a very good display of equipment and where the guy just put it on and then shows you how it works. Now it doesn't give you any explanation about anything, just basically puts it on and shows you, hey this is how it is when you got all the gunk on and you have to use it. So not a bad series there either. Anyway, hopefully this will give you some ideas. Another couple things, ammunition. There's stuff that's coming out in different blocks, obviously. Prices, as we were just talking here earlier and the spike brought up. You're seeing $50 and $60 for boxes of stuff that in the past were about $17 to $23 a box. But you're also seeing it for ammunition that was originally $8 and $9 a box, now upwards of $40, $50, and $60 for the same box ammo. Now there are combinations of reasons for this, not the least of which is remember the bad guys are telling all these manufacturers to put the brakes on people being able to access ammunition. And they're taxing the hell out of everybody. And this is part of the whole reason. Taxation is the power to destroy. And what they're trying to do is destroy this country. And the parasites are feeding off us all, especially in the tax end. So we're looking at alternate solutions. And I will remind everybody again that reloading is one. However, you're going to find that new reloading equipment has become harder and harder to get and the companies did not increase production when they should have so they could have taken full advantage of the spiked interest in reloading. It doesn't mean that that's not going to continue because everybody when they pull the trigger and it's a dollar around, dollar around, dollar around, dollar around. Oh my goodness, that's pretty pricey. If you reload you can bring the cost down to one third or one quarter of what it is from the factory. However, you do have to invest in factory brass in order for you to get what you need to reload. Either you fire the round yourself and then know it was used in that rifle and then you know it was fire formed and you make sure you keep using it for that rifle accordingly to also bring up your accuracy. Or you watch for empties that somebody else has had and you resize and use your die system accordingly to adjust the brass and bring it to your spec. Either way you can get the job done. Now I'll tell you what I'm going to do here. We are at 639 and I might have a caller who's been really patient. Do we have anybody waiting? I want to check. Yes, good afternoon. Oh, we got Dave with a special report. What do you got first Dave? Okay. Here we go with the stock market. Oh, they pumped this sucker up last week as we said. And I got a friend who likes playing the market and he made 17 grand last week. Oh, today he was crying the blues. He lost 10 grand today on the stock exchange. Poor guy. Why do these guys keep playing? I don't know. Anyways, yesterday General Motors was down to $1.09. Today they pumped it up at noon to $1.25 and it closed out at $1.21 on its way to bankruptcy. Gee, there won't be any Chevy trucks anymore, I guess. Del Jones today though took a hit 184 22 closing out at 82 84 0 9 Silver closed at 13 96 gold closed at 9 26 and crude oil was down to 57 70 The metal market took a hit also today where every day it's been climbed climb climb yesterday had even climbed but today she took a hit and Coppers down 5 cents closing at $2.01 Nickel hit $0.27 Down closing at $5.59 Aluminum took a penny hit $0.67 Zinc took $0.03 Hit $0.66 Lead took a penny hit closing at $0.65 Uranium I ain't figured this one out. It jumped a whole $5 today. Everything else has gone its way down, but Uranium is on its way up closing out at $51. Maybe they're getting ready for war, Mark. Well, let's remember that we're talking, that's a little heavier strike weight too though. So we're talking raw stock here and a little heavier in general. It takes a lot more of the Uranium to get where we need to go with it. Yeah, I'm just curious, everything else took a hit today but Uranium went the other way. That's the biggest hit, that's the biggest climb we've seen. We've seen changes in buck, buck and a half, 50 cents, $2, but $5 in one day, something smelly on the market when everything else went down big time. Most of them lost about 4% on their stock, even Yahoo and What was the other big stock company? Yahoo and some other big company was crying the blues today that they lost a 4% hit on their stock. Poor fellas, everybody wants to play the crapshoot. Well, real quick here, by the way, on gold, and number one guys, let's not make it this big, we're not looking at a hit. If you're looking at a shift in gold of a few dollars, but you're looking at $900, even if you're looking at $800 an ounce, Guys, there's a lot of people that got into gold at $200 and $300 an ounce and all they had to do was sit on it and it's now worth how much? Three times what they paid for. Yeah. I'd say that you in fact, well or four depending on where they entered it. So guys, they didn't lose a penny and they don't have to worry about it. One way or another, you know, you take that piece of paper from the stock market and the company might not exist. You take that one ounce of gold or that half ounce of gold or that quarter ounce of gold and you want to put it on the market, I guarantee it will move. Whether showing with the silver market right now being there at $14, 13.91 something now, last week it was 14 something. You won't find silver anywhere here in New York right now for less than $16 and most places are getting 20. And the interesting thing is spot means nothing. Spot was originally when everybody would go, well let me check the spot price. People are ignoring the spot price now, guys. It's not like it used to be. When you used to do bulk silver, it was spot plus 5% for junk silver. And again, there's a lot of guys I know. Now what that means is you bought a 50 pound bag of silver, and you did it whatever the spot was per ounce. That's what you paid for that bag plus 5% over. There are guys that bought 50 pound bags of that mixed, it could be American silver coins combined with some Swiss coins combined with a little bit of everything depending on who was marketing it. Sometimes it would be all Swiss, sometimes it would be all whatever nationality or American and it would be spot plus 5%. You aren't finding any buys like that anymore. But here's the other thing. back when that was happening, that was when it was $2.04 and $2.30 an ounce. It's how much today? $14 plus. Yep. Oh my goodness. The future is $14 and you can't buy it for that price. That's right. So you look at now, the reason I bring it up is I'm looking at a paper here from July of 1993 as a matter of fact guys, there's a bit of history and it looks just as good as the day just about it came out except this has been read, this is one of the many trade magazines done for the Patriot Movement here and in 1993 they were saying, and gold could go up to $500 an ounce. However, there were optimists and people said, well, we could be optimistic but I don't think it'll get over 800 or 900 by the year 2010. Well, you know what, it's the year 2009 and last year it already peaked into that range last year. And of course before that it was already crept up twice and three times what most people paid for that gold and silver in 1993, 1994, 1995, even 1997 and 1998. Wow, and in fact all you had to do is buy it and sit it on the shelf buy it and sit on the shelf in the same time Let's see a share of stock in GM in 1993 was going for what? Probably $65.00. Yeah, and a share of GM stock is going for what now dollar 21 today Wow, hey, wait a minute what happened? So let's see the transient the paper wipe your arse, you know wealth is just exactly that. Now I will say this, and you know one thing real quick Dave, they will be making Chevy trucks. They're going to continue to make Chevy trucks. Make them in Brazil. Yeah, they're going to be in Brazil or communist China or they're going to be somewhere else where the plants have already moved to, but the American plants where it says Chevy, I'm waiting for them to do this. It would be funnier than heck if they do in Chinese cuneiform, if they do Chevy on the back of a deck. for the benefit of the Chinese and then ship a couple of those over here. Oh, that would be fascinating. That would be a rubbing the face, wouldn't it? That would be real rub, that would be rubbing in the cow manure. Oh my goodness. But I can see that happening because the Chinese will do this kind of a poetic justice thing as far as they're concerned. Watch and see what happens there. But here's another thing, I wouldn't sell stock. You know what, you're getting me to the point where I'm getting tempted to buy me some GM stock. Other than the fact that if they totally trash it out, I definitely wouldn't mind owning a thousand shares of Jimmy because what happens three years from now if the thing stays together? Oh, it's not a matter of if. Again, what they're going to do is down the road with their own system, even as they collapse this system, GM of the US is not going to completely disappear, but rather they're going to do like they've done many times over. They're going to come in and break the system, and then they're going to turn around and the speculators will buy all of this old stock as penny stock or minimal, and then miracle of miracles. Yeah, all of a sudden it's worth $50. How did that happen? Where did that come from? Who would have funk it? Now, here's the most important thing about it. Everybody needs to be buying the stock and not circulating it. This is one of the things we've tried to explain to everybody. It's like even the GM workers right now. You know what? You've got nothing to lose in everything we gain. If you took part of your paycheck right now and invested in a dollar something a share for a GM stock and just take it out of inventory, what you have to do is this though, guys. You tell the stock broker you want the stocks in hand. No, you don't want a voucher. No, no, no, no, no, I don't want a promissory. No, I want the stocks in hand. I'll spend the money on your stock market and your stocks, but I want the stocks in hand. If you're going to play any way, if your friend really wanted to make money with that $17,000 that he had, He could have taken that $17,000 and thrown it on GM but just told him, no, no, no, no, and I want it in hand. That's at $1.09. Let's see, it's $17,000. That's about 1,500 shares. Forgive me, 15,000 shares. of General Motors. Absolutely. That would have been yesterday was the time to buy. My friend has been buying. He said he won't buy GM because he said he thinks the stock is going to go. But he keeps buying Ford Motors though. Well, Ford is one that has not been talked about because Ford is the one who bought this President. Oh, did I say that? Did I say that? I'm sorry. Did I say that? No, it didn't buy. It bought some prostitute. They are around $3 or $4 a share right now for the Ford. Ford Foundation bought some prostitute and that's how we got this guy. Yeah, think about it. See that's what's fascinating is look at the history. Ford Foundation was sponsoring someone's mom and that's the one who was gatorvading around the planet doing what it was doing. And Ford Motor Company is right in the middle of all this people. And what is the one thing we're not hearing about with this latest cycle with all the other things that have been happening? Has Ford and Water Company been taking a hit on any of this stuff? Nope, and they aren't taking any of the handouts either. Ain't that fascinating. Isn't that just amazing? Now I'm a little confused. I'm a little confused on it. Oh, maybe not. Ford, if you go down to the Ford World Headquarters, guys, On the upper floors, which by the way is down in Dearborn, Michigan, though they wanted to switch the headquarters down to Brazil. They're talking about doing that still. They're probably under the table doing it. It's just you haven't been told about it yet. They have the UN symbol in the carpet on the floor, not Ford Motor Company. The way they have it is they have the UN Global Map. It's the UN symbol complete with the wreaths. with the Ford Motor Company symbol logo in cut out so to speak laid out so it's in pieces on the maps of the world, the continents of the world. It's also on the back wall. In fact, one of our friends saved a guy years ago. He was in an accident and he ended up getting his arm horribly burned with acid because he pulled a man out of a deadly situation. A man died anyway. But because of his injury and how he was injured, the company wanted to give him a pat on the head and an attaboy. So they had him photographed in the World Headquarters. But guess what's in the background behind him? It's a cutout done in wood or done in metal that is raised from the back wall, which is done in mahogany or done in fine wood. And it's the UN symbol, complete with the wreaths, but with the Ford Motor Company, blue and white. impressed on the continents in cut out form. You can figure out what it is because you can see part of it here, part of it there, part of it here, part of it there. That should tell you something about Fomoko and a lot of what they are tied into with this. Mr. Ford would be rolling in the grave. I'm sure he is rolling in his grave knowing full well what these sheisters have done to his company and what they've been playing against. They've been using it to play against America. Especially when he built the 1917 Model T to run on hemp and not on Rockefeller's petroleum. Exactly. Anyway, do you have anything else we can do before we move on? Yeah, I have one other thing of interest. Usually this is back up. Butterknife, this is Weapons Wednesday. Butterknife's always talking about one of the interesting places you can go to buy goodies, but he's never mentioned this one. I was afraid. If you ever happen to get by Harbor Freight, folks, they sell one whale of a real nice utility knife or a buoy knife, shall we say. Tooth tech, when a guy asks Crocodondo Doni about giving him his wallet, what's that? Oh, this is a knife. No, son, this is a knife. This one is a big knife. It's got an eight-inch blade they sell there at Harbor Freight. hollow handle with a compass, it's stainless steel with a saw blade on the back side of it. Made in China of course, even has little hooks for putting in the pegs for using it as a grappling knife, I guess can also be done that way. But the nicest thing with this blade, it's 3 sixteenths inch. Nice piece of steel most blades when you pick them up these Chinese stuff are You know hey you can bend them This one I think you can use as a pretty decent pry bar for a while if you're careful It's real heavy duty. Price tag, normally about $10 to $15. You look in the catalogs where they sell this stuff, or on the internet, you'll see it the exact same knife, $39.95 to I've seen it as high as $89.95 for this exact same knife. Harbor Freight gets $10 to $15 for it. Well worth purchasing. It's called the US General. Yeah, nice blade have you seen this one mark very good actually you know all night Butternut's gonna get a little angry because he has mentioned Harbor Freight before so he might but he never he's never talked about this knife No, not about the knife so that I know he talked about my heart break But he's never mentioned this knife so we're gonna have to check that out and see what it actually sounds like a copy is in black or is it in silver it is Well, it's real shiny stainless steel the whole thing. I think is stainless or the handle may be pewter or something finished when I am here. That's interesting. It's stainless steel. I believe the handle is stainless. It's a satin finish handle. It looks to be stainless. It has a compass in it, matchbooks, fishline, hooks, band-aids and all that. a good tang that goes into that handle where you can take a socket and tighten the nut down if you had if it came loose, but it's got a good guard on it, a good heavy guard. As I say, you can actually put the dogs in for using it for rebelling or climbing with the climbing hooks like you see on Rambo. But it doesn't have the hooks with it though. For $10, $15 and it's got a really nice case with a The actual full loop is probably about a 4 inch loop on it. You can put it over your web gear if you had to. It's about a 4.5 inch loop on the thing. It's not one of these cheap sewn back loops. It's a complete full I have never been Since I've been out, I have never been to a harbor freight yet. I'm going to walk over and see what China Sport has because obviously we know where this stuff came from, but it's worth picking up. Anyway, let me let you go Dave. They have several other knives there too, but this is the most valuable piece because where are you going to find a buoy knife? for under twenty dollars. Right, for ten dollars is definitely something that can beat the snot out of somebody. And you can literally beat the snot out because it's three sixteenths the blade in thickness. This is a real heavy blade. Most of the blades you ever pick up that are Chinese made are eighth of inch or less. This is a heavy piece of stainless steel and it will take a lot of beating to do damage on that piece. Okay, very good. Okay. By the way, remember we want to keep an eye on GM stock for tomorrow. Make a point of following to see what that does tomorrow. Okay. I'm serious. We actually should look at the idea of talking to any GM employee. They want to save the company. Like I said, buy the stocks up, guys. That's what I've told them, buy the stock because it's your job is buy the stock. But yesterday was the lowest I've seen, $1.09. Very good. Okay, well, thank you. Thank you. Bye. Real quick before we go here, we got a couple more minutes. I want to get some other stuff in. By the way, Steve got the message there in the chat room for the guys. And really, thank you. Gives brand lubricant, guys. Right now, we're looking at the wet season. It's going to be damp this year. I can see that coming. There's no doubt, because this is replay of last year. We're seeing phenomenal growth of the plants. All the animals are super healthy. We're seeing a lot of production. For that reason we're going to see a lot of moisture too. You're going to be taking your weapons in the field, you're going to get rained on, you're going to get mud, you're going to go through river crossings, you're going to look at streams. This is not Iraq, this is the United States. So because of that you need lubricants that are going to maintain the weapon in this environment. And Gibbs is one of the several different options that you have. You guys come up with what you like, but Gibbs works really well. One of the things that's a solution with Gibbs is we don't know when we're getting corrosive ammunition and when we're not so let's assume surplus that is military of any kind. It can be surplus civilian too because we've run into that quite a bit. But surplus military stuff that is older may be corrosive. The primer may be a mercuric primer and you're going to see specific reaction. One of the things you can do is use gibs to seal up the metal inside the barrel. Lube it with gibs, lube it with gibs again, make sure you get the chamber, the throat area of the chamber specifically, and also get the area around the locking cams behind the brass case there guys, because you're going to get some bleed gas, you know, gas bleed back always, especially with a gas operated system. If you seal it up with gibs, you're not going to have the stuff getting to the metal as quickly or at all if you're lucky, but here's the thing, you should be cleaning the weapon after you've shot it every time. But if for whatever reason you make a mistake or you forget or you just don't have time because things are happening, the Gibbs is going to protect the barrel, the chamber, and the gas system from that oxidation process developing. And it gives you time. It buys you time to clean. and this is critical most important is this whole plan the enemy has they'll provide you certain things because they figure in the long run it's going to break down your weapon you're going to have failures or malfunctions because you're going to have a scored barrel a damaged chamber your firing pin extractor going to suffer accordingly if you have adhesion in the chamber you're going to see your extractor snapper break because it's going to be undue stress or pressure put on it at a given point that's why extractors break. Well, we're going to eliminate that problem by prepping it in advance. So if you want to get hold of Gibbs, you want to get hold of Kim Abel. Give him a call at 734-654-6607.
