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. The 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 freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of Plan. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for once 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 watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the van to the good evening ladies and gentlemen This is the evening intelligence report. I'm our corny and butter knife One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines at occupied territories, southwest, northeast, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pvn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to LibertyTreeRadio.com. You will also find us on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along the southern and central Alaska. We're also on the Hallmark Network and the 8 colonial states of the Hallmark system. This includes extensions into several other states, and we're getting ready for the Golden Spike Project. It should be coming together soon. And when it does, we will be there and let you know and listen in. But today's date butter knife is It is 15 May 2009. It is the fifth hour of the day. That makes it the last hour of the day and the week and therefore quartermaster corner. Very good. And again, we have a couple of things that are happening around the country. But right off the bat, we've got Shelby from Oklahoma. Shelby, you've got a special report for us for PBN. Go ahead, please. Yes, sir. IED attacks. I think we've heard that guy's name before. I'm trying to make the public to be anxious about that sort of thing, I guess. Well, this also precursors a Friday. Remember, this was a Thursday, Friday news piece, end of the week. What we need to do is keep an eye on, and everybody needs to pay attention to their local news. This is Fox, F-A-U-X, I'm sorry, F-O-X, Fox 25-K-O-K-H, correct? Oklahoma City. And the date last night was, let's see, 14, and that's for everybody listening and that would have been 9 PM Central. So what we need to do is keep an eye out along all of the other venues out there and again prime your VHS machines. They're the cheap way to record this stuff without having to do a whole lot. You plug the tape in, you hit record, she's running. In fact, have the tape plugged in, the machine is something you're not prioritized on and that way when you need to use it, it won't be tied up with somebody else's stuff. That's why VHS tapes are a wonderful thing nowadays. Nobody else is going to want to play with your machine. You can record quickly and easily and efficiently. And if need be, grab the hole. If you see a precursor, like where they say, oh bombs in America, well then quick, throw the machine on record and grab the advertisements, grab everything leading up to and after that particular article. And the reason I say that is because Remember, there will be other preparatory yap that they do in between getting ready for that article that they are going to play, which is canned. And also, afterwards they will have some other follow-up to rub it in, in other words to rub it into play, to create a chain of drum beats one after another. So we need to watch that too because it will get progressive. It will move up as things move on through the schedule here. But it's rather interesting that they've thrown that up and out of the blue. I saw one yesterday on the national Fox News feed saying that the next clear and present danger is that amateurs can buy the equipment on eBay to create their very own bio labs and manufacture bugs and viruses. Yeah, like that's our biggest worry considering that what government's generated in the way of bioweapons, don't you know? And again, this gets back to the whole issue of does anybody remember when genetic engineering first came out? Nobody wanted to talk about this, but we discussed this openly then, and they knew this too when they did it. They had genetic engineering packet kits that were available that anybody could pretty well do what they wanted with. The same thing was in any conventional lab, yada yada yada, still available by the way, they don't like to talk about that either. And as far as bioengineering goes, they didn't want to touch or even tank the water. because they have their own agenda with regard to genetic engineering and modifications. So passing that laws creates more conflict. In every industry, kits are sold. Even to the people that spent college studying a particular field, kits are sold. You can call Intel and say, I want a development kit for this or that processor, and for a modest fee, they will send it to you because they don't expect even engineers and researchers to necessarily have a full panoply of all the equipment they might need for some project. One wonders how they trace back something like that. Does that mean, oh, this matches the DNA profile of the stuff that we provide agricultural services for in Afghanistan? It's our stuff. Therefore, we know where it came from. Think about it. Also, down in Columbia, they were starting to dabble in opium too, which is one of the reasons that I think the big boys started causing problems in Columbia. When they were just into their local production with coca, they didn't care. Cocaine production just kept on going where it was supposed to go. But as soon as they started diversifying, they were upsetting the traditional old dope apple cart. That's when you see all of the external interference all of a sudden, just like in Afghanistan, where with the Golden Crescent there, when the Taliban brought production down to zero, that's when we attacked. Well, just like any other organized criminal enterprise, there are rules and quotas and territories set up. Lucky Luciano gets whatever the prostitution in this area, etc. They've done all of that around the world with the drug rings. They were told which banks to launder their money through and what their quotas were. Basically the CIA ran the transport. Just don't make waves with the other industry or part of the industry that has other areas of interest. That's why they went after Noriega and went off and assassinated Pablo Escobar because they were jumping their quotas and using the wrong banks. Shelby, before we any further, anything else? The summer heat if you leave them in your car. Well, if they're sealed, that shouldn't be a problem. They're designed to handle a wide range of temperatures. And if they're exposed, all it's going to do is basically cook them in that it'll take any precipitation-sliced moisture out of them, I would assume. I've never had any problem. And we carry them in extreme heat when you think about it. We've carried them in pretty much all environments. I've used them in pretty well every weather condition you can imagine. Extreme, dry desert. all the way up through extreme wet cold and dry cold. There's not so much an issue with heat except obviously you want to be careful and try to air and allow the gas mask to breathe whenever possible so that they don't take a setter because it is plastic. The mask itself is more likely to be affected than the filters. Remember the filters are mainly activated charcoal and that's done by blasting superheated steam through charcoal to open up the pores. I mean you have to pressurize this in order to achieve those temperatures. So anything that your body can withstand is not going to cook the activated charcoal as hot as it was at creation. The big thing is going to be the mask itself and the seals, etc., the diaphragms. All those are plastic and the organic is the issue. That's going to be the problem. You have more of a problem with extreme cold with gas masks than you do with extreme heat. Obviously, you still have a problem with heat prostration and moisture issues with the operator, but the gas mask itself will pretty well stay within an operating range without any complications and the higher temps. But in extreme cold, one of the things we haven't really addressed, and we're talking sub-zero weather, etc., but you actually have to use equipment perhaps in that environment, is that there are anti-fogging agents that are used, for instance, for the lenses. You have special cold weather covers, which you can also improvise. With the regular screw-in filters, it would actually just be like a hair shroud. That would be your best choice. but it's to prevent frost buildup and or icing around the intake. And the cheapest, easiest way to do that would be to take and also be snow camouflage in the process. These white hair nets, they're simple fibrous material, fibrous plastic, like satin cloth. And just throw one of those on. It's enough to cover the hair, which of course still allows it to breathe. It would work perfectly with the gas mask and also work to be a little bit of a strainer filter for heavier, bigger chunks of stuff. Not much, but it would be some. It would also deal with the frosting issue. Cold is more of a problem with the mask than heat. On the other hand, cold is also not considered ideal conditions to deploy a chemical agent, is it? No, actually the problem you've got is that although there are advantages and disadvantages. Number one, dispersion is going to be minimal, but it will stay laid low to the ground. It will lay close. However, it's also going to see absorption because what do we got laying on the ground typically there too? You're looking at snow slash frozen snow. What happens is it actually absorbs or quickly is pulled into the porous surface and it works as a bit of a filter unto itself. I wouldn't want to be around later if there's a problem when it freezes and thaws. But the whole point is that cold weather is not your first best choice. But we've got to remember that pretty much every country we're facing It has always planned on deploying tactically, maybe not strategically, but tactically, chemical and biological agents in one form or another. The Chinese for sure and the Russians for sure. Both of them train extensively and have some of the more diverse NBC systems in that they have a greater number of models. We only have one or two masks, which is great for supply. If somebody figures out how to muck one system up, they've got them all. Whereas on the other hand, the interesting thing about the Russian system is that they actually invested in a number of different types of masks with different depths of application with regard to how they were being deployed. We do have that to a degree. Remember, we have an Air Force mask totally different from the Army mask. The Navy has a whole family of masks under themselves. Navy is typically the last to throw anything old out, so they have a wider range of stuff hanging around that is on standby for when it's necessary. Again, they back ups to back ups to back ups. They'd rather have a lot than not enough. Hopefully that answered your question there, Shelby. Yes, it did. That's all I had. On that note with the gas mask too, there are cleaning systems that are available with the M9 copies made by Finland. Pretty much everything was sent with them to include a cleaning system, which a lot of people were wondering what it was for. That's addressing the very issue that I was just talking about a moment ago. have to take into consideration sweat, which of course also freezes when away from the body, or will freeze while it's making contact between the face and the mask. So with that happening, you have moisture issues that have to be addressed to make sure that the unit is dried out, the equipment is clean and ready for the next use. That's also even an issue with extreme heat dry, because then you're looking at dust. So you need to be doing inspections and clean up on the equipment, just like we do everything else. And that should be a priority. Part of your maintenance, you know, SOP, standard operating procedure maintenance and service tasks when you're not in combat. As far as not in contact, direct contact. If you're in contact, obviously you're busy with other things, but the moment you're out, You get right back to checking your equipment. Inspect to make sure everything's functional. Top off your mags. Check your chem to make sure the filter's secure. Filter looks like it's compromised or it's been used. You may choose to decontaminate and dispose of the original filters. Switch out to the next one. Or switch out to the gas mask. Depending on the system that you have. Masks are so cheap, there's no reason not to have three. And it's not that complicated an issue to carry two masks. Traditionally I carry like an M9 or I'll carry even the M10 or the M17 and what I'll do is carry one of the smaller, cheaper Russian gas masks in the backpack. And the advantage of that is I actually have a second mask I can hand out or a second mask I can change over to and by the very nature of the weight and the stowability of the Russian masks They are not putting any great burden on my carry package, but they certainly are offering an added amount of protection. And if I come across a person who has a mask missing, I have the ability to issue something out to that person so at least they have some protection rather than sitting there flopping and gasping like a fish. Out of water, of course. Anyway, just ideas. Hopefully that helps. Okadoke. Thank you, sir. And I tell you what, please keep us apprised and give us a follow-up if anything more is on the local there, okay? Thank you, sir. Bye-bye. and we shall be from oklahoma and uh... we will follow up on that uh... one more time program last night nine p m central time that would be the fourteenth of may it was on k o k a show uh... box twenty five of oklahoma city and basically you know saying that you know are you the terrorist wave is on the way a a m a change it probably to that happens would just have fun in the sod personnel are running the operation Because that's most likely and we can pretty well expect that. If it turns out to be Mexicans, or Mexicans say Brown Berets slash nationals, then we should have closed the border four or five years ago, shouldn't we? Or maybe last year, or maybe six months ago. Or maybe in 1986 when we promised to do it by doing that last amnesty and saying, okay, these three million are grandfathered and now we're going to stop it. And guess what? They lied. Well, of course, Quirky Bush was the one who helped to make that not happen. That was definitely the character in the middle of that. I'll tell you what, one other quick point here. George asked a good question and hopefully we get off into an elaborate answer as usual. One of the things that was asked is what was the demise of the Confederacy. To be quite honest, this day what we're doing today, and we only have so much time, only half an hour left, I'm going to get off this real quick and let the butter knife take over. Quartermaster guys, supply and support. Without the ability to reissue and to actually bring into service the equipment needed to keep your troops alive, the Army stops, comes to a standstill. The food's not there and they can't eat when Army runs in its stomach. If clean water isn't there, something else happens to the stomach and they're either defecating too much or they're throwing it right back up. Now, there are a whole lot of other things in between. Medical supply and support, the ability to clothe, the ability to put boots on people's feet. The ability to make sure that all the widgets and knickknacks that are necessary every day just for operational everyday life are at least minimally in place. Now, the Founding Fathers had an entire quartermaster system in effect starting in 1765 and moving on through to 1775 when the war broke out. There is a comment made, after the siege of Boston was begun. and paraphrasing it, it basically went like this. It will take more than all of the guns, shot, and cannon powder hidden in the root cellars and basements across the colonies to win this war. Wait a minute, what did they mean by that? That means initial supplies will not see you all the way through. Right. And not only that, but it implies that guess what guys, you mean they were stockpiling beforehand? Hell yes they were. Stockpiling and setting up an entire supply system to include food, to include lead, to include iron mongering, to include all the support items, anything that they could build. When they were going to Concord, they were going after guns, but there's a word play there. They were going after field pieces slash guns. When it's big enough guys, that's the term you use, a gun cannon or howitzer. And I believe they were going after powder stores. That's right. And all of that was there just beyond and at Concord. All that morning, once Paul Revere came through, what happened is the town was cleared out of most of its people. Why? because most of its people were heading across the county in every direction away from the approach of the British troops with powder, food, artillery pieces, cannonballs, you name it. All the stuff that had been stored up and was or being built right there at Concord was being carried away. Some things could not be moved fast enough and they felt that they were probably safe. That's why when the British took Concord They grabbed one of the farmer's wives right there on the edge of town, tortured her in front of him, threatening him. He surrendered the two gimme pieces that were buried in his pigsty. He had two French and Indian war gun tubes, artillery pieces, that were stored in the muck there in Greece. and the Brits dug them out of the pig feces and then brought them out into the road right there in town. They were planning on possibly carrying them away, but instead because the fighting at the bridge had begun, they were forced to spike the guns and then leave. In other words, you take a rifle rod, a ramming rod, and poke it into the end of that touch hole and you beat it into place and then break off the rod. That of course is only a temporary vandalizing. Exactly. So what happened is they had to be satisfied. They couldn't do anything more. They had to be satisfied with that and then they left. leaving the two guns behind. However, one of the other things that they did, they found 500, I think it was 500 or 600 pounds of flour in one house. They brought the flour out into the road, laid it out, cut the sacks open, spread the stuff out on the ground, opened the barrels, spread out the sacks. They laid it all over the ground and had a company, as in 10 men. A company in a British formation at that time was what we call a squad today. It was a 10-man unit. They had them march through the flower and trot it into the mud in the road, destroying food reserves. That was part of the agenda, guys. So when we talk about quartermaster and the question is what was one of the things that was the demise of the South, it was supply and support. Most importantly, manufacturing. And it was not just, you know, and people think, oh, they couldn't make cannons and they couldn't make, it's everything, people. Let me just walk through your house and short of the trinkets that you see there, let me ask you something. How many of you can make a needle? You can, if you think about it for a while, and even there, look at the quality of just a simple sewing needle. Consider that that was a high manufactured item in its day and still is today. If you don't think so, I want you to tell me how you'd make it. Yeah, see how that works? Just a sewing needle. I think I could manage, but it would probably take me an hour apiece once I got rolling. In other words, you could figure out, and remember, it's a matter of, traditionally there were more courses. The quality of what we have today is space age. So, I would recommend that that be one of the many things that should be on your quartermaster list because sewing needles are something you break, you lose them, though you don't want to find them later depending on where you lose them. You get the drift, ouch, ouch, ouch. But, it's one of those many widgets that because of its construction and how fine it is, it can quickly be unserviceable or cease to exist. So, we need to be thinking in terms of, first of all, the veneer support. In other words, buying what you can to create a tier of security, a tier of effective issue, because we've got to be able to reset and reset and reset the machine. The next step after that is manufacturing. Light manufacturing first, heavy manufacturing progressively, working through the other many degrees depending upon what it is. But there's a reason for this. It's not just to make arms. All the other things that are perishable will be needed by the population to continue to function. So there is a revenue and an economy that is waiting for everybody when the time comes. You need to start thinking that way. It's not bad to be doing business. It's not bad to be kept employed. Most important is if we can, we'd rather spend the money on our people than spend it on people halfway around the planet. See how that works? That's the difference between us and the bad guys on the other side. Anyway, butter knife, take it away because we've got a lot to cover here in the next 28 minutes. Okay, we've got bunches of stuff. One thing I would like to mention is that we have archives on theintelligencereport.co.cc. Anybody who is coming in late may care to go there and pull up archives of all sorts of previous programs that we've had, including the Friday evening quartermaster corner type programs, which have been regular only since last September or so. You will find topics such as how to can butter and how to can bacon and disasters that Butter Knife has experienced in the canning operation. Some of which are solved and some of which are still in process. You will find how to make oxygen absorbers all by yourself which are 20 times more effective than the commercial ones cost one third as much and are known to be fresh. You will find many other miscellaneous and assorted topics including some that are of no interest like a sale that was running in December or something along those lines. But you can pull down those MP3s. They cost $0.00 and 0 cents and they are freely available at deintelligencereport.tk. There is another free asset available. This is a spreadsheet that I wrote. I won't spend a lot of time on it tonight. We've discussed it previously. It is designed for food storage uses. It will calculate the food values of many common items based on weight or volume and will break everything down in terms of man days, man months, man years, and proteins, carbs, and fats. I suspect that many, many people who are storing food do not have as much as they think they have or are way heavy on one column and very light on another column. That spreadsheet will help you. That's freely available at PatriotMoney.com. You can download the spreadsheet directly. It uses Open Office. You can download Open Office. That's also freely available at OpenOffice.org. One other little thing I like done. But that's from sending a big scowl his way. I'm just wearing the quarter master hat because somebody has to wear it. Don, consider yourself scowled that earlier today. Okay, today I received a CDNN catalog flyer and it had a few interesting items. One of these, well, crazy I am about this. They're offering a 22LR conversion kit for the AR-50. What's interesting is that it is at $220 if you're a normal person or $190 if you've got a friendly neighborhood FFL who will order it for you instead. These things are more expensive than an awful lot of .22LR rifles. This is not a solution for going after the bunnies that are raiding your garden. They do seem to me to be an intermediate training item. are 15s and you've got the appropriate matching Airsoft. This is an intermediate in between those two. When you're done practicing with the Airsoft, you use one of these guys, the 22LRMO is becoming hard to find, but it's not nearly as expensive as two to three calibers. You can load up one of these guys and it will give you a reasonable recoil, some kind of recoil, some report. some smoke. It'll be a little bit closer to firing the real thing at lower cost than sending two to three rounds down range. I would consider this an intermediate training item. This is an AR-1522 conversion pack. These are horribly expensive compared to what we remember from 10 or 15 years ago, but then again, so is milk. So I guess take that for what it's worth. They do have an item in here. They have the PA-63. This is a Walther style pocket pistol that fires 9x18 Makarov. I find this interesting because I haven't seen it previously. They are offering this for $140 in Good to Excellent and $150 in Like New. They do have magazines available for it at $25 a piece. If you can obtain the 9x18 Macaroff Ammunition, this gives somebody something that goes bang. I called the company today and spoke with one of the sales guys and said, well, you know, I do this weekly radio program with shopping tips and I'd like to know how many of these things you actually have. He said, the higher ups in the company don't let us tell how many we have, but put it this way. We have plenty. We have bunches of them. We can handle all comers. That sounds like they've got probably a few pallet loads of these things if people want them. That is the PA-63. It's a Hungarian 9x18 Makarov. A little on the small side, I would not consider it a primary combat sidearm. But anything you have in your pocket is better than having a pocket full of air. Actually, that's an aluminum frame, lower frame. It's an excellent weapon. Basically, it's in the macro category. Walter PPK type design. Very comfortable to shoot. The 9x18 is a good round. Magazines are going up. They used to be a little cheaper. You might go shop around and find magazines. You might find mags, but you won't find the weapon anywhere else. Pretty much all of those have dried up all over the country. So somebody has this niche covered and it's worth checking them out and picking them up. Holsters are available, cleaning kits, all the other stuff that applies, especially for the 9x18, can be picked up cheap, cheap, cheap right now, even today. That is a good choice. For the ladies, they will like this weapon. It is a good size for men. It is comfortable. Like you said, a lot of guys would use this as a backup or just a casual gun. It would fit in the niche of a 380 Auto or Smith & Wesson J-Frame or Colt Police Positive. Colt Police Positive in that size range. But the weapon itself was very popular in its time with tread heads in the concealed pocket that goes in the front. Actually, it's built right into the breast of the battle jackets and was also carried in several different types of holsters by mechanized and air mobile units. Since it is a lightweight pistol, it's designed to shave off a few ounces. and could be carried predating the Glock. Aluminum is where everybody went. So overall these are good guns. When you worry about the $10, I just take a used to be fine. I don't think they're going to do a whole lot of abuse on them. Most of these were never even got hardly out of the crate to be fired. So the ones that are coming through right now are the ones that were in the armories for God knows how long and the few that were shot. are the ones that were typically drawn over and over again, the rest are the inventory reserve. So that is a good choice and that's a good price. Okay, they also list the CZ82 available for $160, same round, little bigger pistol. They list the 30 round magazines for the AK-47. They've got a bunch of Bulgarians. These come in two varieties. There is a transparent polycarbonate one and there is a traditional synthetic metal lined one, both for $14.99, which is pretty much the going decent price for these things nowadays. I asked him about these and he said, he laughed at me and he said, I would like to meet the man who could clean us out of those. So that sounds like they've got bushels and bushels of those guys as well. So, that's an available source. This is CDNN. I believe their website is CDNNinvestments.com. And if you need the AK mags, they've got those at $15 a piece. Take the flavor of your choice. Transparent ones will make it easier to tell how close you are to empty, and the traditional synthetics are, I would think, a little bit tougher. But both of them are to be expected to be very serviceable and reliable. These are both a Bulgarian manufacturer. I'm flipping pages here. That's okay. Meanwhile, real quick on that note, with regard to any of the inventory that we're talking about here, remember that you might even build and make them on the pistols. No, but on the magazines, you never know. There might be a quantity price if you add. depending on how many you actually are interested. And if they really, really do have a lot, they really, really, really would like to sell and move them. So the cool thing is you can probably end up with a pretty decent deal on that. Also remember, basic maintenance on the mags, same as with the handguns, guys. No different there. So you want to make sure that, again, you do full maintenance top to bottom. Otherwise, what's next? Okay, the CDNN normally does not have prices that get me terribly excited that they do have a very extensive list of items and if they have the thing that you need then price is a secondary consideration. However, they also have the best price that I have seen on broken shell extractors. These guys routinely go for $8 to $10 a piece. If you need one, you go ahead and pay whatever you have to pay. However, they have 223, 308, 762x39, and 762x54 broken shell extractors, all of them 399 apiece. This is considerably better than the $8 to $10 a piece you'll pay, especially if you get multiples so that you can distribute them among your butter knives. Times five greatly magnifies the cost issue there. So $4 a piece is much more to my taste than $8 to $10 a piece, as you find in most places. Now one of the other things. We should be looking here real quick before I forget touching back on this whole thing with supply and support and the Confederacy. One of the things to remember is that standardization would have been nice, but basically they had to catch this catch can with what resources and reserves were available. I'm going to touch on something here that we cleaned out. This is the American Revolution, War of 1812. and the Civil War. We cleaned out the bargain basements of every point of the compass. All of the old inventories of Europe and other countries, in the Mediterranean even, were scoured and purchasing agents went out and picked up vast quantities of all kinds of implements of war, which ended up in the inventories here, which is why Civil War historical text on swords, bayonets, and rifles is quite colorful. In some cases, individuals went out and armed their local militias with weapons that they purchased, bargain basement prices from Denmark or from Holland or from Germany, France, etc. and vice versa with the Confederacy. Some individuals who were locals had the wherewithal to spend the money in whatever direction and the more money they could save to buy more weapons, the more weapons they had. The same is true with the equivalent, all the ore implements of the day. Remember, powder horns. That could be bullet molds. It could be all of the other accoutrements that go along with, even cartridge belts, cartridge pockets. the whole nine yards. The web gear as we would call it. So in this day and age we're doing the same thing and effectively creating a national defense force with the leftovers of other militaries. Now the important thing is most of the stuff is consistent and uniform. So the cool thing is I can take an AK mag from Hungary and drop it into my CHI-COM MAC 90 and amazingly enough it goes click, click, boom, boom. So, the nice thing is because of the wonderful age of machinery, mechanical nightmare, oh wait a minute, no that's the kinks muscle abilities, a 20th century man, sorry about that, I just had to do it. Anyway, the point is because of the age we are able to interlock technologies like this which means We can compress a lot of our resources into certain channels and come up with a better solution, mixing and matching what's available. We can hunt the stuff down, which is what we're doing, why Butterknife's giving me the information he is. So I would recommend again, keep the pen handy. Go ahead, Butterknife. Okay, that concludes that sale flyer. One of the guys in chat the other evening was asking me about waterproofing for maps because he had purchased a whole book load of topo maps and wanted to waterproof those. I would say that the long time old product that's been around for many years and seems to just keep selling is a product called Aqua Seal Map Seal. This comes in a jar with a foam paintbrush, foam applicator. And stuff comes in different sizes. The more economical one is 8 ounce. and it comes with a foam brush and says that it covers eight to 10 square feet. That runs almost $10 for eight ounces. One of the things you need to be aware of with this stuff is do not take two literally their statement covers. You will go through an awful lot of this stuff if you're doing a lot of maps. It is basically a plastic-y type paint or varnish. You might consider it When you use the foam applicator, it's a pretty heavy coating of the stuff that will soak into the paper. You want to test that before you commit your one and only map to it. Try it on a map and if it makes that map a little bit too transparent, so you see both sides, well, find out early while you can still run down to the store and buy another copy of that map. If you have lots and lots of maps like a road atlas or something and you want to waterproof all of them, Expect to visit your REI mountain or whatever more than once. You don't want to buy buckets of this stuff because it's not cheap. Expect to run out and go get another bottle and do some more and run out and so on. If your maps are in a book, if they're bound in some fashion rather than flat sheets, I would say get some waxed paper and put that under the page that you're painting so you don't find yourself gluing pages together. Expect to open that book, paint that page, and allocate some time for it to dry because it will take a while to dry. And then the waxed paper will have prevented that page from sticking to the next one and then you'll flip it over and do it again. So that's something you want to do in the garage. It's kind of smelly stuff. But once it is applied and once it has dried, it really does do the job. It makes it very, very plastic-y and very durable and will prevent any sort of moisture damage to your maps. The brand name on that that I mentioned was Aqua Seal. You can find it at most of your camping places or online or what have you. Eight ounces will generally cost you somewhere between eight and ten dollars. Most of the mapping you have you can use this on and a lot of times people have actually secured the map books. Example, one of the companies out there has a, well one of the companies makes County by county state atlases. Most of the states of the United States have been covered already. One of the nice things is that this actually breaks down each page, a large atlas page, is a complete county top to bottom, north, south, east, and west. And these are very, very handy as general references because they do go down to two tracks. Dirt roads give you most of the features for the area of operation and are great for giving you basic orientation whereby you then draw on or pull, say, more detailed tactical maps for the area that may be a better scale for the type of work you're doing. But for a lot of utility work, those atlases come in handy and are a good choice. You can also get topo maps, regular commercial and McNally sources. If you look, one of our friends said he found topo maps at Wally World. Yes. Well, the thing is that the... either way, I don't care what mapping they get, to be quite honest. Either one will work, but the advantage of the Atlas is either way, is that you have it in one package. And what you want to do is you want to seal it up using the very system we're talking about here so that it's weatherized for combat operations. You're going to be typically trying to use this if you're either on foot, which is not as likely with the Atlas. But let's say you're a vehicle operator or whatever, it's going to be with you sometimes out of the vehicle trying to stand in whatever weather conditions, trying to orient your location to something on the map, depending upon man-made and natural features. Topo maps, it's the same scenario. So this is a good choice either way. And for critical mapping, in fact for most all the mapping eventually, you'd like to be able to seal it and secure it. Now even if it's older mapping, guys the world hasn't changed that much. And in fact you will find that even with topo maps, no matter what type, there is a category for additions or supplements. Typically, it will be a rather light burgundy marker as far as the color that will be used to show addendums on the map itself. The map say was done in 1993 or the last survey was done in 1997. A supplemental survey was done in 2002, five years later. Rather than doing the whole map, all they did was cross-reference with a database that they had. and identified significant changes in, typically it's man-made objects obviously, but say road changes or expansions into the communities with regard to their road grid. And these will be highlighted in a different color so that you will make note of them. Also, this is a supplemental mapping or transition mapping print, and the next one will not have any of the highlighting to denote the changes. Also, you'll see that there will be an addendum note on the map. All of these maps, I don't care how old they are, you can do the modifications. You can actually add whatever might be needed to the map. If you are careful, it can be penned in and the map itself can still be incredibly valuable because topographic maps especially are becoming harder and harder to get. Certainly you can print them up off your computer or whatever, but let me ask you something. When you get out in the rain, how well do those maps hold up if they aren't covered? Well, even if you're not getting rain done, if your hands are dirty, that will degrade the map. These same plastic protectants will help a lot with dirt and smudge and grease and such as well. Exactly. And that's where we have an absolute need for preserving our databases, especially those that don't require any batteries. The less stuff you turn on, the less things you light up. Keep that in mind. properly conditioned and trained, you have the ability to perform better than artificial intelligence, especially in this area. Another item that people will not have heard about, and this is a little bit more on the nancy type side, is a sugar called xylitol. spelled X-Y-L-I-T-O-L. This is very popular because for one thing it has 40% of the calories that regular sugar does for the same sort of perceived sweetness. So diabetics like this as a general sweetening. But it has another aspect that's very, very interesting. It is antibacterial in its effect. The way this works is that bacteria cling to your tissues by binding to certain chemical chains. And what this does is it coats the bacteria and gloms onto those guys, plugging up those chains so that bacteria become slippery. At the same time, the bacteria cannot metabolize this stuff. So, if you expose bacteria to a solution of xylitol, they lose their grip and tend to get rinsed away. This has as many applications. One of them is dental. And anybody in the medical corps will tell you that combat infantry tend to fall victim to dental problems more frequently than hostile enemy action. When the feathers hit the fan, it will be less than convenient to go see your local dentist for cavity repair, etc. Prevention of this is very, very important. If you brush your teeth in a normal fashion, And then when you are done, go ahead and rinse and spit and all that kind of good stuff. And then do it again, just quickie, 30 second job, but sprinkling this on your toothbrush and then going all over. You will find two interesting things. One, you are greatly insulated against dental decay because by getting that in all the nooks and crannies, you are covering all those little bacteria that are still hanging in there. and they will rinse away and go down the old hatch. It also affects those that are clinging to your tongue. They're hard to remove without triggering the gag reflex. So this is a very useful item for oral hygiene which affects all the rest of your body. You will see a secondary side effect. If somebody in your household has a problem with halitosis, including your four-legged friends, that can happen as well. Apply this treatment a little bit on a toothbrush, quick scrub, scrub, scrub. You will find that has instantly gone away. It is far more effective than any of the commercial alcohol based rinses or peroxide or anything of that sort. It does not irritate the tissues and does work and it works instantly. You'll find that's the case in one application. If you want this at a good price you can get at AllStarHealth.com. It offers this at about $6.50 a pound which is about par. However, they also offer a 15 pound sack of this for $58. A sack or two of this will supply an awful lot of people for an awful long time. It has the side effect of being something that you can, if anybody that you know is diabetic and they're just addicted to sweetening their coffee or whatever the case may be, that will also serve in that purpose and have a secondary side effect. will tend to reduce the activity of bacteria in your system throughout. And sprinkled on the toothbrush will really do a job there, both on humans and on our little four-legged fronts. So that's called Xylitol, X-Y-L-I-T-O-L. There are no known negative side effects of this stuff. It is becoming more available, and you can get some if you like at AllStarHealth.com. Interestingly enough, that's a plant derivative. Yes, it is extracted from a variety of plants. Most of it traditionally has come from Europe, starting to come from China too, what else? What do you figure? But this is extracted from corn. It's abstracted from corn husks. It comes from a number of different plant species. But it is becoming more popular and therefore more widely available in the US. So, this is another solution again, or at least other option for people to experiment with, see how your body reacts to it. Keeping your teeth in good shape is incredibly important for sustaining operations. Because again, otherwise we're going to have to employ some of the dental technology that we've saved. And I don't know that everybody out there would be a dentist would be working on you. That's not good. What more, you can do dental work without anesthetic, but it is not fun. That's right. and so keep in mind we'll do what we can but uh... and Lidocaine is your friend, Novocaine 2 Again, may or may not be available in the field and we'll have to come up with temporary solutions. There's actual tooth support kits for emergency dental support operations like that. We have a number of them, but we only have so many. You've got a lot more teeth per person than there are people. Think about it. Remember, the Fido is not going to fight you once it figures out that all this stuff tastes sweet. Now, I don't want to put it in the dog's diet. It's not good for dogs in bulk. But you can scrub their teeth with it. I want to say thank you to Shelby for that special report and in fact we already got it logged in here. It is up on the archive by the way, butternight, you can pick it up there. Anybody else wish to say anything? So I'll tell you what ladies and gentlemen, we're closing here. Last hour of the intel report show Monday, got blessed, the republic, got the new world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen, the empire is on the run. When our Christmas are on the microphone today and night.
