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've I 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, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his parents trampled 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. 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 Northwest. Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on the Micro Effect Network in the morning. We're also on the Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're on AM&FM micro stations, AM&FM major stations, CB Bay stations and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Southern and Central Alaska and on the Aleutians way over there in the left corner. We're also on the Hallmark Network, a colonial states on the eastern seaboard and expanded into many other states in different nets. And what we're looking at is a replacement for the internet when the bad guys shut it down. They can shut it off, cut off their nose despite their face. We will continue to operate. Don, today's date is? All right you guys, it is May 18th day thereof. Those are people who wish to check the time. They try to tell you today is the first day of the week or so. I'm not certain about it. But I do know it is May of 2009. Mark, do you have an agenda from the first hour? Do you want to continue something on there? Well, actually, just real quick, one of the last things with what's going on over the weekend is, of course, we had the Alpena activities and they'll be going on through the week here, but what we understand We have militia people all up through the area and we have reporters and field personnel operating. I want to say hi to all of our firemen friends up there in Alpena. I know the guy has been doing a great job. We have many eyes and ears all through the system up there guys. It is not a blank environment but rather just a reverse. Keeping an eye on the bad guys from all directions. We had some of our friends stop in to a couple of the offices up there during the weekend and the guys gave us the lowdown on a lot of the activities that are taking place. And of course we're also watching not just El Pina but Oscota. A lot of you who are involved with or watching this grab a Michigan map and I want you to look at where El Pina is. Now here you can take your Michigan map without having to go to the bookshelf. Take your left hand and lay it on the table in front of you and then kind of let your thumb run parallel but not tight close to the index finger and there's your map of Michigan. Now, to understand where Alpena, Michigan is, go over to your index finger on your left hand which is laying on the table right now and up there were the first knuckle. That's where Alpena is on the northeastern side of the Lower Peninsula, Michigan. Now just below it, if you go down the coast is off coda now guys are scottish famous helping his famous to for you know great like reasons but uh... scottish is an old fact based that really isn't all that old and isn't shut down annual several past national forest right there which has a number of different underground complexes that are in place that were not supposed to know about uh... the whole area and a rather interesting And I would point out that before the base was officially closed down, it had the largest population of retired military personnel around it in the entire country, for the whole of the United States. that in the year looking at a pretty obscure corner of the country there but that's not all that was sitting there around around us coda so it's not just el pina it's the idea that from us coda the and other sites but the area around it and the old nuclear and of it too by the way uh... that's where these characters are operating out of so make no mistake about everybody has a pretty good understanding what's going on we also know from the white to the west where their other hub is So that's being watched. Burton, Michigan is the other location. Yes, we have had many reports before this, before everybody has seen all the stuff publicly. We've already had reports on large numbers of vehicles being stockpiled at certain points. They're not part of the regular units that are in the area. They were already pre-deploying two and three months ago. So the rest is history there. We'll keep everybody up to date on what's going on with both locations. But remember, we have a lot of people who are in the system right now, top to bottom, all the way from Lansing through to the guys on the ground that are keeping an eye on this and they understand the problems, they understand the threats. The guys in Lansing have been in the Patriot effort for many years and they're eyeballing the bad guys appropriately and they have resources that even we don't have at their disposal. and those people have been hand picked and selected and in their posts and offices for a long time for a reason. So we're doing our part but be patient and remember that there's not the only two locations. Burton and Alpena are only two of seven. Keep that in mind. We know where the other five are and we know what will be transpiring there. So just stay frosty, stay focused and do your job and everything will be fine. Anyway, Don, go right ahead. I know you've got things we want to cover this morning. Oh, I do, Mark. But I think I heard some bells in there, and we might have a caller waiting in the background. Let's see. Yes, sir. There we go. Yes, sir. This is H.E. from Arizona. Oh, right. Jump in there, sir. What have you got for a report for us? I am pleased to report that our Arizona training session from 14 to 17 May, which was titled Liberty Venture. with Alpha Omega Training was an outstanding success. We had trainers and trainees from all over the USA. We trained on tactical movement, radio communications equipment, creating caches, field intelligence gathering, and resistance to interrogation, which included volunteers being waterboarded by a professional interrogator. All that was just pay one. We trained on field medical assessment, airway management, weapon selection, principles of survival, signs of dehydration, bleeding management, field expedient splinting, wound stitching, and that included students doing actual stitches on animal tissue provided by Alveo-Mega training. We had training on how to make your own saline solution, how to pack wounds, how to do IV therapy, how to make your own ghillie suit. Principles of personal camouflage, hazardly evacuation, hand-to-hand combat, perimeter security, radio comm procedures, paste count and use of the Ranger beads, wilderness survival techniques, identification of edible plants, primitive fire starting methods, some snares, sucking chestwood. This was awesome training conducted on... Private property high above Flagstaff, Arizona, up among the pines and the aspen trees, our training site, our base camp, was at 8,550 feet. I shot the GPS myself to confirm that. The Yavapai and Hulapeta unit of the Arizona Citizen's Delicious showed up with a field kitchen trailer. And the guy who put the trailer together on his own dive served us rib-eye steak the first night that we were there. and as a final crowding benefit. That trailer incorporated an automotive stereo system that allowed us to play the March of Cambrai and Lookout Mountain as wake up music. What can I say? It was a totally hoo-ah experience. So again, this was a complete success as we anticipated. Was everybody exhausted at the end of the event? Everybody was tired pretty much the whole time, it was at 8,500 feet. It's a drag on you. But because of the efforts that were made to keep morale up, everybody pulled their true grit up, bore down on the mission, and plowed through the completion. We were tired, but we were that good tiredy tired that comes from a simple accomplishment. Exactly. Very good. And again, everybody that participated, we all know you're only as fast as your slowest man or woman participating. But I understand you had a whole bunch of hard chargers there. So it wasn't hard to get the class moving, was it? Oh, no. As you mentioned, yes, there were women in this training. My wife was one of the volunteers who participated as one of the interregies being waterboarded. She outlasted. A former Marine Corps scout sniper. So yes, the ladies were part of the training, very important part. Now another thing here too, and I can't stress this enough, there are certain things you can do to oxygenate and to deal with the altitude, but Acclamation is critical. This is one of the reasons we talk about environment and condition constantly. And in the initial phase, especially when you're moving people into an environment like that, you have to keep an eye on all your troops. So everybody, of course, did their part to make sure that everybody was squared away, obviously. And actually, food is a critical issue here. Energy, the body's going to have to start compensating. It does for altitude. And so nutrition becomes even more critical under those conditions, just as with cold weather or extreme hot. Most people don't realize extreme hot creates the same issues with regard to calorie consumption that you get with extreme cold. And that's usually where the miscalculation is with hot. Now, what were the weather conditions? Give everybody an overview there on that. Oh, the Lord blessed us with perfect weather. 70 degrees and sunny during the day, 30 degrees and clear at night. So everybody got a chance to test out their basic gear to make sure that everything worked, especially their, they were bringing in the way of sleeping bags. Not too cold that they were suffering, but cool enough that you had to make sure your equipment worked right, correct? First time troops got a real education as to how important the proper gear is. We managed to assigned team leaders. We gave the team leaders the responsibility of keeping an eye on their troops so that they stayed healthy and they watched for signs of dehydration, signs for lack of oxygen. We were able to keep them properly fed thanks to the efforts of one of our teams that brought that field kitchen. It was really a plus-plus We had the opportunity to feed the troops without them having to take the time out of the training schedule to feed themselves. No, that is a benefit. Again, as you pointed out, not to mention the high grade of the food. That's good for... and it helps keep people, you know, like as you say, marching. And let's go back to that train and they do what I went to, RUP 800, something like that, high up there to, you know, move in a lot of... No, I'm not... I'll tell you, I never was much of a... I'm trying to offer up, but I can offer that attitude like that. And you're on the ground, you guys. It's very deceiving. Planes have never flown in the early portion of flight. A real challenge for our... I'm sorry, go ahead. Oh, but it's like that really... Yeah, everybody got a real education as to how important physical conditioning can be. Yeah. One of our biggest challenges the first couple of days was to get the guys who were in better shape to not run everywhere that they went and say, slow down, you've got to walk, you've got to give yourself a couple of days to acclimate, and you're going to get a keel over. Those that were not in the greatest of shape, they were still hurting. I was trying my best to get everyone to understand, we have to take this slow, we have to walk through this, not just because We have an acclimated gift because there are people who need to be walked through these concepts. Well HD, from Arizona, we're running right up to the first break in the last hour here. I got some questions for you when we come back. You're going to be here with us, right? Absolutely, I'll be here. Ah, cool. Okay you guys, the intelligence report, Mark Kornke and myself, and a report from Arizona. Hey, write down our sponsors numbers and we're going to... I've got some more questions for our guests when we come back you guys. Begin to roll At your personal preparedness level, remember the freeze-dried guy. During times of physical and emotional stress like the uncertain times we live in today, it is vital that you not alter your diet too much. You should only store what you usually eat because one day you may have to eat only what you have stored. Lucky for you, there's the freeze-dried guy. Featuring the superior nutrition and taste you've come to expect, the freeze-dried guy has a wide variety of choices in freeze-dried foods. All freeze-dried foods are no-cook products requiring only hot water and a few minutes of your time. The Freeze Dry Guy has been serving various government agencies as well as the private sector with the finest in freeze dried, storeable foods and emergency rations since 1970. Consider the technological advances made in computers from the punch card days of the 60s and 70s to the high speed personal computers of today. Comparably, the advances made in food storage from the World War II era till now are equally great. Visit the website at www.freezedryguy.com or call toll free 866-404-3664. K.T.

At El Dorado Discount Gold they specialize in finding the right gold products for the right people. El Dorado Discount Gold. Work again in the micro. Everything that we have is completely primitive environment. We brought in our own water, we brought in our own training materials, we brought in our own food. We brought everything either in a trailer or in a POV to get there. Well that's the best example of how to move an army. Don't depend on, I'm gonna get something when I get there. Example and I had that question. my next question is to get any trigger. Unfortunately the range was closed. Okay. That's not part of our plan but we made the decision that on the last day to cancel the trigger time. However, for those that are most of these folks are in Arizona that participated in this training. There's a few that came a greater distance but for those who are still interested in trigger time we have a makeshift range set up in central Arizona that we are in the process of planning a range day for. If you would like details on that, you can contact me through the website, www.arizona-militia.com. We'll have a gunsmith, a professional licensed and certified gunsmith at that range day, giving advice on modifications and corrections to any weapons issues that might be out there. We are tentatively planning this for the 31st of May. Again, the website is www.arizona-militia.com. Contact us through the website and we'll get you out there to arrange there. Well, my... be made the... an exaggeration of the thinner air to speak, you know, aim point on it on the... in the flats of Arizona. Get that... Well, very true. We'll have to re-sear our weapons upon returning from that altitude. Right. Right. I'm in the iron. You mentioned living off the land. I would like to give my compliments to the trainers who conducted the class on edible wild plants. I have no idea that I could walk out into the field, pick up a leaf from a mullet plant, make tea out of it, and drink it. Actually, not too bad. You guys Indians use those as a salation also. That are, you know, maybe more adaptable than the Indians think they were them plants, right? I think we're talking about two different plants. This is the mullein plant, not the mullettes. Oh, well, again, the Indians use that a lot. It has kind of a texture of combed cotton when you touch the leaf. Yeah, like fuzzy almost. Yeah, kind of. I didn't see it growing quite that high. These were only eight inches tall in the area that we were in. It was quite tasty, other tea, and very nutritious. Well, they're not that tall here now. Sorry, go ahead. They're all here now. I really am very grateful that they gave us that class because just walking around the campsite we realized that we were surrounded by nutrition. First the same thing, health cup desert survival. We'll have to get to that one, but if you're familiar with Buckshot's book again pretty quick. Anything we could turn this into, you know. We took a lot of still photos. Our concern is for the safety and security of The attendees, sure. The ones that are part of the ACM. We will take those digital photos. We will digitally remove the faces of those that were there. And we'll post those on our website. Doing that with the video would have been much, much harder. Much harder, yeah. Yeah. Okay, real quick here again. Now, one of the other things about altitude especially is unique issues with regard to medical evacuation. It's one thing to carry your own weight. It's another thing to have to carry somebody else somewhere. Back to a comment I made earlier about many hands make for very light work. Well, wait a minute. Not. At 8,000 feet. It's heavy no matter what you're doing and it's also debilitating. So you get a chance to practice pretty much all of the skills from treating the casualty through to evacuation, etc., correct? Right. In fact, we threw a few surprises in for the trainees who were conducting the tactical movement, I would walk up to one of the trainees and tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, you're down. And then watch the reaction of the team leaders and watch how they evacuated the casualty back to the medic, how the medic and the evacuation team took them back to the aid station, that sort of thing. Excellent. We threw them changeups on a regular basis. During the whole cycle. What was your opening? What each day began? What time and closed? When did you close training? We began training the morning of the 14th 0800. We concluded training at about 10 30 in the morning on the 17th. So it was a non-stop experience. I tell you what, we're going to the bottom of the hour break. You stay right where you are. Don, right here with us at the Intel Report, it is the micro effect here this morning. You've got places to go, work, take care of, grab those keys, grab that last cup of coffee, also stretch if you're just now getting up, because we're going to go to break here on the micro effect in the morning. at your personal preparedness level, remember the freeze-dried guy. During times of physical and emotional stress like the uncertain times we live in today, it is vital that you not alter your diet too much. You should only store what you usually eat because one day you may have to eat only what you have stored. Lucky for you, there's the freeze-dried guy.

Remember gold never lies. much longer here but just a follow-up real quick we're going to be seeing a photo essay on the web page. Yes sir we will be digitally removing the faces of those that participated and posting those photos probably within the next couple of days. Excellent so everybody can go to give them all the information and where they can go and how they can find out what it is and see what it is that went on over the weekend. www.arizona-militia.com There will be a link in the left-hand column to Liberty Venture, which was the name of our exercise from 14-17 May this year. Again, that's www.arizona-militia.com Excellent. And so everybody out there listening, you have a chance to visit the web. You don't have to wait until the pictures are there. You can go and visit the website right now. So, thank you. We were posting screening patrols on any given night based on information coming from the gate. Since this was private property, we were obligated to protect it and to keep unwanted visitors from coming to visit us. So there was at any given time, there might be a QRF that was standing ready to wake them up. They'd already be in their gear. They'd be outdoors in less than 120 seconds. So again, and a good time was had by all, but also it was intense training. Like you said, the end of this, usually you're tired but you're satisfied. Like I said last week, we have seen, this has been true with a lot of what's been happening in general. I have to admit, we have been running nonstop for days and days and days and weeks, but the results that we're seeing right now are so satisfying that it's a good tired. It's one of those things where you know when you're done, the energy you spent was well worth it. and i'm sure that that's the feeling you guys got from this exercise correct amen for that mark so we're going to continue to do our part of the work he puts up the speed if you want to come back and give us a screen with a stop any changes do we have another date scheduled yet is there anything that kind of it uh... we're still working out the details of that uh... keep in mind that we were had we had county units from maricopa county from Gavapai County, from Gila County, from Mohave County. These were separate units, not under the same command of anyone until they got to the training. So for four days they operated for the first time as separate units under a single unified command. We're going to do this again. We're going to do it bigger. We just don't have a date yet. And before we go, my hat is off to Alpeo Omega training. Althea and his trainers did an outstanding job beyond our wildest dreams. Everybody commented on how good the training was. This is the first time I went to an FTX where I didn't hear whining or complaining. Anyone. Everyone was very pleased with the training, very satisfied with the quality of the training. Everybody went home with something from this. Excellent. And that's the kind of work we need to see done on a regular basis. So again, I want to say thank you all to Althea. and the crew because I know those guys, they put their heart and soul into this project and they have been ongoing in developing not only their skills, but the skills of so many other people that we are going to need for the future. And this training applies to so many other things. that you even experience in everyday life. So people are thinking, well, you know, all militia, it relates to many other aspects to include personal motivation and also the ability to deal with crisis or at least to be in a mindset, the mindset where you need to be if a crisis develops no matter what it is. And the most important thing here that is part of the process is teamwork. That's something the bad guys are terrified of, discipline and teamwork. If they hope they can pick everybody off here, there, in one season, whatever, or at least keep everybody thinking, then they feel they've accomplished most of their mission before they get going. But we're seeing a tremendous response. We've seen an excellent progressive development of the training abilities of the units involved, and I can see nothing but positive coming up with you guys. It looks like you're satisfied. I'd like to be able to put them on the ground here, as a matter of fact, in Michigan in the next couple months, and that was a discussion at the party on the beach this weekend. We are going to see what we can do to bring them up here in Michigan and get Elphie's crew on the ground and have them properly situated. All they're going to have to focus on is the training. We'll provide everything else and make sure it's there for them. In fact, that's one of the missions I'm working on today, as a matter of fact. You can't get better training anywhere in my humble opinion, Mark. Very good. Well, hey, we do pretty good here at the Awe. What are you talking about? If you're going to go to someone that has a business that does nothing but this type of training, there's none better. Well, again, that's good stuff. Especially for the medical stuff. Well, that's one of the things, too. Everybody knows we harp on medical and there's a reason. I don't just plan on fighting, I plan on winning. I plan on bringing as many of my people through the other side as I can. And the way to do that is for all of us to participate in that task. and that's where everybody needs the background training. We trained all of our units the way we were taught in special forces to cross train in every category. And the type of training that you guys have been going through is comparable to anything that any special warfare unit would receive or has received in the past. That's one of the things that people really have to understand, and that's critical to our overall success. The ability as generalists to be able to step in and get each of these tasks done and done right. I'm going to let you go before the break here. Sound good? Yes, sir. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to your listening audience. Please keep us up to date, would you? You betcha. Hoorah! Thank you, sir. And again, that's a report from the training exercise this weekend. I've had nothing but positive reports. Everybody, in fact, had a A very intense weekend. Colonial Marine units, everybody not only succeeded but a lot of their new people coming in were brought up to speed very quickly. Houtari and several of the other state formations here in Michigan had exercises, including Colonial Marine units. The Nagy-Hitcham range, hey guys, I can do something Donnie, I can go, I hope to design this. The Naga-Hitcham range 3, first of the long range matches took place this weekend and all the concrete was poured, everything was done, there was some leakage that had taken place because somebody didn't follow instructions. And that was all taken care of so they had over 93, I think it had 93 official shooters, they had some of the people who came in not participating in the competition and Don, better than 70% of them were .50 caliber half inch shooters. This was a fantastic event. The Sussman Ackerman brought in their kit gun, their new B6. It's a chain bed, 50 caliber kit that works semi-auto and they demonstrated how flawless this design is. No, it's not a browning design, but it is a very serviceable design using M250 caliber disintegrating links. So guys from Arizona to Michigan to Georgia to Florida this weekend, we had guys out, well actually all over the country, I don't even know what the full list is, but I was given an inventory list for the CM and they had at least seven different joint exercises. We had a militia training exercise up in the Alpena area this weekend. Hint, hint, wink, wink, nod, nod. Get my drift. So everybody did their part. and that's critical to overall performance guys. We are going to have ALFI up this way in Michigan. I know they're hoping to have another exercise in Oklahoma again, which means you're going to have to shift resources accordingly.

But give us about three minutes. We'll be right back. When looking at your personal preparedness level, remember the freeze-dried guy.

Remember a while back, the, uh, a rather average missionary here, came back to me and it might be something that went out and went to urban legend, tied up with his credence to it. They're here, signed a bill, yeshigan here, mark, signed a bill that they have to lay off a hundred days mark. They're going to give everybody they can because they figured out that if they raise two and a half million dollars, there are a hundred brothers. Made me wonder about some of those guys coming back, you know about revving around and watching ass. At any rate, I wanted to bring that. You're making your way across from Michigan and you see the big blue light. He's trying to reach into your pocket as deep and as hard as he can and take as much from you. This is not just happening in Michigan, Mark. I'm told that states out west that are Montana, there's a speed limit on the open road or speeding tickets now than they ever did before. Yeah, they should not. You're right. Down to interpretation of the street because see how they're doing that? Money from you as they can to keep a hundred of their we got a ball. I've tried to hammer on this over the years and it was power to make a pun. I would train and I used to train on We don't train without weapons, caught again without your weapon, without a weapon, so you need to be the weapon. That was the whole. Now let's take that example into the real mark, because I was kind of astounded here this morning. You know what, you guys? Just a zero. If I was able to take it, I probably had a lot more fun in school. This is, you know, the divide. This helps them move on to higher things. Well, it is a tool, and, you know, we can take a tool sometimes and use it as, and the example being, Mark, this morning, when they denied these, these, uh, knowledge, There was a young woman there sat right there in front of a camera and it went out. You dragged me onto national TV to tell me this? And sobbing and moaning and all. This young lady sat there on the television camera mark and told everybody that when they took my technology I had a hard time finding out what time it was. I looked at a clock on the wall and it took me about 20 minutes to figure out what time it was. Exactly, exactly. And you know what that is? Taking a tool and depending on it to the point that it becomes a cruck. When you look at your digits for the... and that's all you've done all your life and you can't look up it's trying to tell you what... it's not even trying to tell you. It is indicating to you. It's making no attempt. It's just kicking away and you can't... I believe that we can beat this up before arms as this. You're right, Slack told that story. Just a good example of this real quick. And again, this is a reason. Had I had a calculator when I was in school, and I tell you what, I wanted to be in aerospace engineering. I wanted to build, I wanted to be an astronaut. Boy, I'll tell you, we were in that age group. I focused on all of that. But if I had had a calculator to walk into the classroom and cheat with, which is what really is happening today, I had to fight with certain elements of higher math. Now once they plugged in, it was like bingo, okay this makes sense now. But you know often to that point, if it weren't for the fact that I had to manually and mechanically by hand with my gray matter do the math, I would not have been able to accomplish my goal. I couldn't have. I just couldn't have. As it is, I had to fight. I mean, I really, there are some things that are just, man, that does not want to sink in. I don't know why. And then it will simply be like light bulb. But if I had a calculator, I would have never had to make the process connect. It would be a cheat and it would also be a failing. And that gets into it all. There's a whole bunch of old sci-fi pieces from 30 years ago on this subject that, you know, the whole world goes to computers, the whole world gets electronic. All of a sudden, some guy shows up and he's from the, you know, from the 50s. and they start talking about using their computers and he sits down with a piece of paper and does everything and the whole world stops because it's a miracle he knows how to do math. He's a calculator. Yeah, he did need a calculator. He's doing it all in his head and they're all looking at him and the government perceives him to be a threat because he can think. Think about that. That's also a demonstration of electronic drones, what you're talking about, Don. Yep, electronic drones in the in the extreme the very thing that everybody was warning everybody about years ago that if you continue with this Develop the mind and of the person have created something that is so powerful so great So capable of depth that's the key depth the near you know because that's this the even with regard to what we're talking about This veneer technology has created a very shallow individual. Yes deny them that time it is by the standard issue that hangs. In a way, that's like, remember when the Y2K thing was going and they said, well, people won't be able to get money out of money machines? How would they live without a credit card? And it's like, well, how did we live for, oh, that's right, most of all of the existence of humanity without a credit card. You know what I mean? I mean that's where it gets down to common sense. Everybody's going to have to step back and we need to be ready for this. We need to be, and we are ready for it. That's what scares us now out of the other side. We're better prepared for this than the minions the enemy has plugged in. Their people will panic. Our people won't. Think about that. And all because of just simply a little in his common sense. I was reading this BS report, this, what is this? reference a domestic extremism lexicon and was funnier than hell because you know they're ridiculing you know the common law or common in of course common sense you know lovable it's like really well as opposed to what government ease incompetence gross negligence all year didn't all these people be ignoring the basics down haven't they brought our nation to the eve of destruction right now oh yes And the basics have to do with certain things that do not change. But if you fail to master them, you will fail in the combat and the experience and the interactive, the interactive light cycle that we're all part of. That animated contest. Right. And look where we are. Well, we're going to change that for you, but we got Frank coming up next in the top of the hour. This hour went fast. Don't touch that dial. That's right, cause the Frank will be right here. The Micro Effect and Teleport, we're gonna sign off for now. But they're gonna keep going on the Micro Effect for the next, oh, the rest of the day. So stay tuned. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. We cheated. We beat them very quickly. We took all the batteries for all of their countenance. Thank you, Don. God bless you, Mark. God bless you, America.

Silver has long been used throughout history as a way to disinfect and prolong the freshness of water and food, as well as utilized for its beneficial healing and anti-disease properties. From the Greeks, the Romans, and the Phoenicians to the Middle Ages, from the first settlers in America to its preventative use against infection during World War I, silver was always known for its health benefits. Hippocrates wrote extensively about the healing power of silver, and in the 1920s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of silver solutions as antibacterial agents. So what happened? Why aren't you hearing about of silver these days.
