Now the Creeks, they started like I said in 1812. Some of the leaders signed the treaties. And I had to give it up to the Creeks because they, you know, after losing so much of their land, they said, hey, finally enough's enough, you know. We're going to make it against the law for anybody to sign any treaties. And they just basically told the government anybody who signs treaties they do not represent us. In which case, you know, I don't know how things are going to turn out, you know, with... I had a dream the other night that wasn'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 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. 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 you 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 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 to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd 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 in 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 is this still the land of the free and home? And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. And I'm Donald Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, Southwest, East and North. Well ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pbm.4mg.com and we are on live 365 then go to Liberty Tree Radio. You will also find us on AM&FM micro stations, CB Bay stations, and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. And we're also, let's see, on the Hallmark Network, 8 colonial states and the Eastern Seaboard, and that includes many other extensions moving out away from the east and heading into the Midwest. Golden Spike Project coming in the southeastern part of Ohio very soon, and everybody helping accordingly to get that job done. Congratulations to our kids at the restaurant, Guys and Gals did a fantastic job, and are continuing to expand the project. Don, today's date is? You guys it is the 26th day of May, 5 here on the east coast and well Mark we're marching rather rapidly toward conclusion with the night vision project. We're halfway there you guys and you're looking if you think you might be needing a piece of first generation with two tubes of binocular with 90 millimeter front lenses. It's going to be really what one might call a high performance first generation piece. Give me a call you guys you can reach me at 231796. Again, two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, now wait till the end of the hour. You know the standard line, there's only one phone line that comes in here to the compound and tunnel network that they know of. So, please wait till the end of the hour, but if you're looking, you guys, this is like $39 or $49 behind the Cabela's catalog. Same piece, you'll see it there known as the Night Jaguar. You can reach me at two, three, one, seven, nine, six. 5-8 and we really need to get this done before these pieces are sold. I'll run out the numbers and then we'll quit this. 70 left, 5-20 we're going to Cabell and a number were kept. Initial, you know, immediate warranty and guarantees. Everybody there, hey hold on to 20 because I'm going to do my best to sell them and here we go. Halfway there you guys. And if you look at the price, the advantage of buying in mass. Mind if you're looking for a piece of night vision, the 2-Tube Binocular System 5-Power 90 millimeter front lens. It's a 1-2-3 battery, a battery that you can even get in a rechargeable now. Call me after the hour at 231-196. And again, you've been abroad two more times, please. 31-196-231. And again, for all of our listeners, take the time, plug in, and find out what's happening with regard to the project and be up to speed. We may have a caller already. Do we have our guest up and online? Vincent, are you there? Well, I know we have a couple of beeps. We might have somebody listening in. That's OK. In addition to that, we will have Vince Graber up here with us a little bit if everything goes well. And he'll give us an update on what's happening with the alternative to YouTube, which of course is his agenda. That's what he's working to develop. And what we need to do is start to see people posting videos up on that site and organizing to get everybody plugged in. This is a priority. Also, we have other projects that are in motion. I will remind everyone the latest video is up on our YouTube site. For those who may have missed it, if you get a chance to take the time, go to YouTube and then punch in the Liberty Tree radio and it's militia. May 17, patrol and training music video. Take the time, take a look at it, rate it, comment, and then get on with whatever else you want to do. If you're new and listening for the first time, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com. And then you can go to the link on the left side of the page, on the left side of the screen there says LTR Videos. That will link you to our YouTube site. Or you can again go to YouTube, Y-O-U-T-U-B-E, and then search Liberty Tree Radio. That will take you to our page in the first video up. That's the latest one. It's right there in the middle of the screen. You can't help but see it. It's the biggest one of the bunch. And other activities, let's see, we do have the hallmark issue coming up here very quickly. And we have another project, actually, the guys with tripwire. And I want to say thank you. There's a number of people that are watching the latest pieces of legislation. And the basic question is coming up again, Don. What is it that probably will kick things off? Going after freedom of speech is probably one of the best reasons that I can see to be going to war, and chances are we will when they try to plug whatever it be, as they're going to try and plug in. Everybody is eyeballing that right now, but it's interesting the response and where it's coming from, how many different sectors of the country. I want to say thank you for the package I'm looking at right here. I haven't a chance to go through everything yet, but thank you to Michael and to Liz for what you sent us in the mail. Also, another report, we had another department. Of course, now this is not a surprise, guys. You've got to remember, there's a whole pile of M16A1s in strategic reserve, and of course, even some M16A2s. They're old enough now. They're not brand new. Those ain't no spring chickens. What the DOD has been doing, the Donate of Destruction, is transferring them over to other departments. And of course, Bueno Vista Township in the Saginaw area. is receiving a quantity of M16s. We know about that. And what they're doing is, in addition to everything else, we're going to be supplementing that with a number of mags, 2,000 rounds of ammunition per weapon. We also know about some other widgets and technology that's been financed through Homeland Security. And I want to say thank you again to our friends for giving us the update on that. We're keeping track of what's being deployed and how much of it is there so that everybody knows. Also, let's see, what was the other, forgive me, I've had so much mail here that we've been going through guys, I want to make sure that we again cover what's been sent to us. We have another 9-11 project going up right now, of course, when we say another, doesn't mean that it's lesser or anything like that. But for those of you who are looking for solutions or asking questions and or want some answers, There's going to be another project up and online, and of course you're going to kind of petition with Samba Bama Ding Dong. Do we think he's listening? Well, even the guys doing this say, no. Yeah, you're laughing just like you are, Don. But the point is to show that all these people said, oh, we can go Samba Bama Ding Dong in there. There's going to be change. No, there's not. In fact, just reverse. It's the same pair, a bunch of parasites, a different day. Okay, so that's not a surprise. And I want to remind everyone that the New York group that's doing this, they've already of course been, well, had been, they tried a strong arm in New York, didn't do any good. In fact, a whole bunch of young men and women stepped in from the Fire and Police Department and kind of pitched in to help follow through on finding out who was who in the zoo. And these particular groups, we're going to actually have a couple of our friends up on the air here probably by the end of the week. We'll see what happens. And they'll give an update on some of the other stuff that they've been able to pull out of the court files in the process of taking the Fed and taking the state and the city of New York to court on this whole issue of what really happened with 9-11. So there's a lot of good stuff going on there. And that's going to be an expansion issue now. Another thing real quick, Declaration of War on the United States. Now, one of the things here, Don, and again, remember we went from the drug dealers on the border. Well, first of all, let's go farther back. Mexico? What Mexico, Don? Yeah. What Mexico? Oh, that's just crazy. What, 30 million illegal aliens? Oh, that's just crazy. Where? I don't see them. I don't see them in the controlled press. And then when finally the issue was addressed, it's, oh, But they're illegals but you can't talk about them being illegals. You know what? Stick it. They're illegals, they're involved in whatever violation. You have a seat belt off, they charge you $200 some dollars. These people are illegals, they need to be deported. How's that sound? That'll settle it real quick, doesn't it? See how that works? There's a math for you. You have a seat belt, they're not going to be nice to you and tell you, oh, I hate to... No, they're going to write a revenue ticket. They're going to scam you for $200, $300, $400 nowadays because that's what the parasites are about. and they're not going to give you leeway in course you're going to tell you and i have a double video tape on the michelle mcconnell on the car when i pulled you over so uh... ok how about on the videotape when you uh... have come across the border and you put him slide through in twenty fifty hundred well anyway mexican expansionism of expansionism when you give this quote think about when this was time and give the date right away I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders, and that Mexican migrants are an important, a very important part of it. Who said that? Who said that? And what year? Well, how about Mexican President Zadilo? There's a ways back guys. And by the way, that was on July 23rd, 1997. Now, here's another one. Quote, California is going to be an Hispanic state and everyone who doesn't like it should leave. Now, hmm, when do you think that quote came into play? How about with, let's see, Mario Oblido, co-founder Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. Wasn't it this group that attacked the border guards? Wasn't this one of the groups? And by the way, that little comment, California is going to be an Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Well, that was June 16th. Oh, that's right. 1998. Who da funk it? Well, actually, this was all covered publicly, but it was covered by the pay trade effort while the controlled media did everything it could not to report it. In other words, they were told, little spit-swapping ring knockers were told what it is that they needed to plug in to promote this agenda that we're now seeing in its later stages. Not complete, but of course, obviously costing everybody billions. and billions and billions of dollars. And remember, the new Little Mexico in the meantime is sucking like a leech or a black hole money towards California on a massive scale. But don't worry, I guess there are some lesser black holes doing the same thing. No input, but lots of outtake. And most of that money and resources, they don't stay here. They're going south of the border to all these people spitting on America because they hate America, but they want a leech off it, okay? Let's see. We will not tolerate foreign forces dictating and enacting laws on Mexicans in the U.S. What? Yeah, we will not tolerate foreign forces dictating and enacting laws on Mexicans in the U.S. Mexican President Zadilo, of course now gone. We have two others in the meantime, actually three I think. Zadilo is, you know, what, four ago? April 4, 1997 again. We will not tolerate. Well, you know what? Like I said, close the border. You can tolerate all you want south of the border. Take your scruffy arses, grab them by the scruff of the neck, walk them down to the fence, and throw them over to the drug-dealing rabid chihuahuas on the other side. Shouldn't have been under on that cactus. That's right. That'll settle the whole problem real quick. But anyway, that's between 10 and 11 years ago now, guys. This is the year 2009. How much of this agenda was made public? Well, every chance they could, they did not report it, nor did they want the border enforced so they could promote this agenda from this side of the border while they were pushing it from the Mexican side of the border. See how that works? But this one particular group, and it's interesting because, again, any chance they can to attack the border police along with the ADL SCUM and Southern Perversion Law. Same tribe, different day, all the same collective group, each one is financing the other. Anyway, just want to bring that up as a little bit of history. And in the meantime, I think we might have our caller now. Who do we have there? I hear the microphone. Have we got you? No, this is Vince. How are you? There we go. Vince, you're really weak right now for some reason. I guess I didn't pick my stereo. Oh no, you're having problems even picking the phone up. This is terrible. Well actually it sounds, I don't know, Ed can confirm or deny whether or not I'm alright. It might just be us listening to you. You may be coming through clean, but we're not able to hear very well. So go ahead and tell you what, bring everybody up to speed. You're working in our video division now, and you're helping to come up with a solution, not just complaining about the problem, right? That is correct. The solution was that I created a YouTube alternative. It's called ViewFlix.com. It's the same principle as YouTube. It's me and my partner. We all censor your videos because you want to talk about Osama, you know, big gong or a power key. We're not going to cut it. Knowing that, it's also an opportunity for the people to upload their videos. So if YouTube does pull that video off of your site, you still have the video. You can still take that video and put it on other sites. You can go to Google, you can sign up for a free Gmail account, blogs. Put a million of blogs out on the internet of how to find it or whatever topic you want to talk about. Take one of the videos from ViewFlix, hyper, meta tags, stick it up in there for the embedded code. You got the video out there, just let it hang. Especially somewhere down the line, somebody will stumble across that video. Wake another person up. We're taking the country back one video at a time. Now again, for everybody listening, if they want to post a video, go ahead and give them the whole routine. How can they do it? It's not that complicated, but let's just make sure everybody understands step by step. What can we do? It's really the go to www.cctexas.com. V as in Victor, U as in Umbrella, E as in Echo, Flexix.com. Create an account, upload your videos. Once you're uploaded, just take the embedded code and put it on wherever you like. MySpace, Ebo, any plug that you have, any classifieds that you're on, any message boards, any comment boards. Another tool to help. Get the information out. If you have a YouTube account, make all the videos that you've uploaded to YouTube. They're packed up on Zuclix, so you have a permanent video in case YouTube decides to purge their videos. Because eventually they're going to purge all those videos. Same with Google. If you have a Google video, they're going to be purging. Google is going to be completely revamped from their whole site. They're not going to have videos anymore. So when that's going to happen, I don't know. but it would be nice to have your videos tapped up somewhere where you know it's reliable. One of the things here too is that again you're going to be providing this service and expanding on it as we can. We'll have links with other sites and other elements of the Patriot Movement so that we've got good connect here and there between the different elements. You know Mark's discussion corner. You can make a group in there and start chatting and promote that group across to blog. It's endless what you can do with it. I also added over the weekend, I added a new feature to the site. We now have a downloadable toolbar that you can download and it has a search engine in it. It's got music, it's got your weather from wherever you're at. You can get your emails directly. If you're not a do-your-pop-free account, you can get your emails directly right to the toolbar instead of going to this one. This one can tie it all together into one spot. It has RSRP. If you want to see what has been updated, the RSRP will automatically update that for you. You can watch videos right from the browser. We have announcements periodically that we do that will come through the toolbar so you won't have to worry about getting that in an email if you're away from your computer. As long as you have that toolbar downloaded, you'll have access to all that. Very good. Now again with the process, we're looking at the same format as YouTube, so for instance 10 minute blocks for the average video? You could actually go up to about 10 minutes. It's 250 mics, which is about 25 minutes. So if you have like American Imperial 2 or something, you would have to break down into like 10 or 15 sections and get like 11 or 12 videos out of that. There we go. Okay. So again, for anybody who's trying to... You can go down the line, increase that. You know, people are like, hey, you know, if we really want to do this, because, you know, this is costing me money. It doesn't cost me anything. It's free, you know. It's all in my dime. So as long as I see progress, things will continue to improve and expand. Here again, if there's anybody you'd like to help out or pitch in in different ways, give out all your contact information for anybody who'd like to either ask, give maybe provide input, but also maybe provide support. Go ahead. Sure. You can find us on MySpace. All you have to do is type in viewflix.com or viewflix on MySpace. We can chat on MySpace or you can email me at viewflex.com. Are we looking at any other broadcast or video allies that are probably going to link quickly. Firstist and mostest. We have others that are in the wings. What's the situation? What are we looking at, future-wise? Future-wise, it's basically up to the people. I built the automobile for us, so all we have to do is drive this vehicle. Where we need people driving this vehicle depends upon them. We will be as things progress along, more and more radio programs. and work partners with. I don't know where this could end up, but the sky is the limit. Excellent, I appreciate that. Tell you what we're going to do. We've got a couple of things we need to cover here. Go ahead and reinforce everything again. Let everybody know how they can hook up. Okay, the website is viewflex.vueffix.com. very good appreciate that they were going to give us up to speed we're going to have you up later in the week you know give you a screen yes uh... you know and uh... you could have uh... and contact me absolutely he's uh... but he didn't finish what he wanted to uh... we've got the artwork in motion uh... but i'm give you a call a little bit later anyway in the day okay uh... anybody have a suggestion email me also on the uh... front page we have banners so If you want to put a banner on your Myspace, what you've got to do is copy and paste the HTML code and stick it in there and the banner is up. Interesting. Okay, well very good. And again, we're going to make a point of directing some other people your way. We gave you a list of things to do already and I'm sure we'll add to that. Sound good? Good, sound good. You guys are doing a protest of the past. You guys walked into your hospital, something, and they got a wild electric machine over the place. Video tape that, upload it. Thank you gentlemen for having me on and I will listen up there. But we want to try and get this binocular project finished and in the bag this week. So we're going to do what we can to contact other people and plug them in. Again, if you're a unit, a combined force of any kind, family defense units, just border security, etc., pass the word out to the guys there. This project is for all of you so that we can access material for less. That's a lot more ammunition, that's more equipment, that's more batteries. Whatever you've saved is more resource in another direction. That's how you got to look at it. So again, Don, jump in there please. Thank you, Mark. You guys, a first generation 90 millimeter focal. This isn't a little piece that's going to... You know, I've offered pieces that fit in your t-shirt pocket. Everything has a time and a place and a tool, so to speak. This is what one might call, you know, like the big block of alteration. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, you know. It's called... You're going to get the most out of first with 90 millimeter front lenses some arms here to do this and I'm kind of you know saying well the only way we can do this is if it's 20 so to speak in mass sometime when you hear me speak French but halfway there so group of people this stronger at night. Oh, oh one thing it would allow you to do is when you lay down to go to sleep you're going to sleep a little easier and you know sleep ending there in the dark. Oh what I mean the ability to relax can hey maybe with stronger soldier tomorrow. application right there. It'd really be good to have a night piece of night vision with your group. One more time or a couple more number you guys, but after the hour I've already had a couple calls in here. Leave the hour. You can reach me at 231-88. If I'm not here, leave a... I will get back with you at 319-96, except for when I'm not. And the other is a pleasant mechanical person. Leave me a message and I'll get back with you if I'm not here you guys. Sometimes I'm on the phone and... But again, if I was on that phone, it probably dialed me at the... three one seven nine six everybody else's and this is a good example of time it's been one and two but this is a good example if you're looking for a call me up two seven nine I put a number and I'm kind of for the nation they thinking about and again the idea here guys is that we've got everybody outfitted to the best of our ability for finding solutions not just complaining about the problems that's very easy lamenting and complaining or shrieking Anybody can do that. The idea behind this is to make sure that we get the information out so everybody's plugged in. And square it away for combat operations when the time comes. Again, everything from survival, escape, and evasion, which is where binoculars can come in very handy, seeing beyond the area where you are presently located so you can choose a path. Also for LPOPs, listening posts, observation posts, where you want to monitor an area of control. Or for a defense position where you're monitoring a perimeter. This is where, or another example, fire team leaders and squad leaders, platoon leaders, and even company commanders being able to survey and observe the area of operation to a very specific degree to coordinate motion and to control forces on the battlefield. That's what all these, this tool is for that and a lot more. Now, it can be right down the individual. If there's enough of you that you're all going to buy a set, fantastic. Again, the application varies depending upon the individual unit. You have to engineer your toolbox accordingly. Don can help you with that. If you have any questions, you can talk to Don. Talk to the hand. No, it's talk to Don. Very much better. The hand will give you nothing. Don will give you answers. We have a lot of other work ahead of us. Especially with regard to the up and coming exercises paralleling what's happening in this part of the country but also down on the border. We're looking at increased deployment by Minuteman type units or Minuteman units on a larger scale. If that is the case for you guys down in Arizona way, here's a chance for you to get your stuff squared away and to do what's needed to get the job done. Plug everything in and get on down the road. So, we'll do our part. You're going to have to do yours to get your people organized in your neck of the woods. Other things, in addition to night vision, don't forget we have a number of different sources. One of them we've mentioned many times on the air, Maine Military. The guys at Maine Military, anybody could be answering the phone there. I don't know who you're going to get. But I know that the guys there have been doing everything they can to follow through on whatever we've requested to point things in a certain direction. Gas masks are one of the things that I will harp on every show. I don't have any problem mentioning it. Every program I'm on and every guest program I'm on. Because it's one of those things we just can't run out and build. We're making some here in Michigan. We've been doing this for a number of years. We can produce only so many. We have a couple of single mold systems. These machines are running on a regular basis every week. They're share timing with other work that needs to be done, but the machines that are doing this work are consistently building more equipment. These are on standby, being put into strategic reserve at our end. The more that we have, the better off we are. But we supplement this with available military surplus inventory. I don't care what anybody says, bottom line, I don't think all of you can afford $500 per gas mask for five, six, or seven people in your unit or in your family. If you do, you're running around bare butt naked otherwise, or you're having to skimp in every other area. It seems true with body armor. I hear people going, oh, I could spend some. I'm getting top of the line. Fill in the blank. Well, that sounds wonderful. I guess if you're a bachelor, you probably can do it. I mean, because you don't have anything else to worry about per se, provided you have a job. But a lot of people have multiple family members and one of the things I did in equipping and it's being, it's in every video we've done is looking for inexpensive solutions to deal with bulk. Now these are base ideas. My God, you people can all think outside the box. When I hear some of these dupes and that's something I can describe doing this, well that's really old stuff and it's like okay we're giving you the basics. And you can add on and engineer whatever you want, but minimal cost items to have both for, not just for yourself, but also for the people who show up bare butt naked. People who later on don't have what they need, either because they lost it, which guys can happen to any of you. It can happen to me, it can happen to any of the listeners out there. When you show up, at least you're not going to be dancing around with a sharp stick and a bone in your nose. Okay? Unka, wonka, unka, ooh. Instead, you're going to be upgraded far and again beyond that, and then you'll have to adjust and add accordingly. Even when we show web gear and equipment, there's the base equipment we usually formulate for a very specific reason. Your formation should try to carry the same basic gear, or at least as close as can possibly be imagined in general, because in the dark, you may have to access equipment on another person. An example is standard operating procedure for instance for medical supplies. Where are your field compresses? Oh and by the way, yes, I have old field compresses. We don't just have the latest Israeli one and I ain't going to throw any, somebody says, oh you might as well throw those out, really. And then there's the day when I use the last of the Israeli compresses and I go, man, I had two cases of the old style ones but we threw them away because you guys bleed and didn't need them. You know how stupid that sounds? Okay, so the point is guys that if you've already paid for it, you've already got it, you don't throw anything away. Especially in medical supplies. My God, we're going to be short in all categories there. But it's also true with hardware and equipment. It doesn't mean that I'm not going to have the newer stuff available. But we're going to go through a lot of equipment. We're going to go through a lot of supplies, especially in the perishable category. Just think about every time you pull the trigger. Ouch, ouch, ouch. especially at $1 around for $3.08. Ouch, better slow down, I'm pulling the trigger. Okay. Well, the same is true with medical support. There are certain things that are going to just dry up. They're simply going to not be available. I want to say thank you to Alfie Omega, he's in the chat room right now. And apparently they're stopping the bulk sales purchasing of blood clot agent and other support items in that category, which I think is rather fascinating because guys, I'm going to point something out about that. This stuff isn't going into military inventory. If you're buying this from a source, that source is simply a retail source. You see how that works? So why would they be concerned about who's buying how much from the retail market or even from the job market, which is the wholesale market the next year down? The Department of Defense isn't going to Cabela's. It's not going to go to your local medical supply house. It's buying and has its own supply chain going off in a tangent and other direction overseas to wherever it's needed. They're not coming to those companies and doing that. So, it is interesting that there is an interest and quote-unquote concern that this better medical support equipment or this particular category of medical support equipment is being accessed. Why would they be worried about that? Medical supplies aren't weapons. They don't kill people. In fact, just a reverse. They save lives. That's right. So when you hear an enemy starting to do something like that, that tells you that they are in motion, people. That tells you that the bad guys have something planned, and they don't like the idea that we're looking at a deep supply system here in the US. But I will remind you again, if you don't have newer, you're going to have to make do with whatever generation is available. If somebody else wants to throw their medical supplies away, you stand there with a box and take everyone they are foolish enough to do that with. Because better something than nothing, in this case especially with regard to dressings, because guys You have to change wound dressings. You have to change everything. You can't just leave a big slug of postulated material over top of a wound area. Or some absorbed chunk of what was sterile cotton, which now ain't looking too pretty. And in a very short period of time, if left in place, it ain't going to smell very good either in more ways than one. And one of those smells is very dangerous. So, we have to be prepared not only to initiate the trauma support, but we have to have the deep, logistic support to change out and deal with casualty injuries in the long run for recuperation. That's why everything, even old medical tape, anything you can get your hands on, guys, will help because if you can use lesser pieces of equipment in the support category for recuperation, Your best equipment can then be prioritized on a wider scale with less wear and tear for immediate trauma response. In other words, catastrophic amputations or lacerations or perforation of body by lead projectile. You know what I mean? Okay, the lead pellet routine. Really painful and has a tendency to put nasty things in through people when the time comes and out the other end. So, we've got to be ready for that. Now, the one thing that we will find is, and I forgive you, but there's a couple of contacts, and I have not been able to follow up on the one. I'm still trying to find the number for this. But we have a gentleman who has accessed from Desert Dust 1 through to present a lot of medical supplies that he purchased from the DOD as they get rid of stuff. And this includes a lot of the trauma dressings, but also surgical kits. the actual surgical trays for every type of surgery you can imagine. And the stuff is trade, sterile, it's already pre-packed, individually wrapped. We're going to try to access that and see if we can give a contact point as soon as we can. I don't care who gets them as long as we get them out of the centralized location and spread out to the troops where they need to be. And that will be a priority here very, very shortly. So I'm working on that. But again, if somebody else wants to get rid of stuff, it's like back when I was in the military and I did this for years. In fact, we fed whole units this way. I would do exactly what I just said earlier, Don. There would be a company and they would be getting MREs and there would be guys going, ah, maple nut cake, I don't like that. Combat crackers, I don't like those. Beans and tomato sauce, there was one. I don't like that. And there was a lot of Navy beans and tomato sauce. Let me tell you. So I just put a big old box out there and I just flat out say, well all those other people would turn up their nose and they were acting all snooty and arrogant and whatever. It's like hey, anything you all don't want to eat, tell you what, you just throw in that box right there and I'll come back and get it a little bit. In fact, I put more than one box up so you know for the lazy ones, don't even have to walk three or four paces. I just spread them out. I got real good at doing that, taking the C-RAS or the MRE boxes. and I would open them up and just have them right there. So just put them in there and whatever you don't, if you're going to rip open the condiments package and grab the bubble, you know, the chewing gum, the bubble gum, the little chiclets, then just throw the rest in there. Coffee, creamer, I don't care if it's just a creamer in the salt and pepper. Just throw them in there. Yep, there you go. That's it. Thank you guys. Appreciate that. And you know what? If you're not going to use your brown bags, throw those off to the side there and I'll take care of them. You know, the plastic bag, everything came in. And then what we would do as we go through, and the munchkins were real good at this helping out, is we'd go through and there are some cases a guy would open an MRE and pull out nothing but the dessert. There'd be other guys that have part of the MRE and beans and mater sauce. Don, man, there was a lot of beans and tomato sauce. And the other thing that I loved is that they also are always tossing out their pork patties and beef patties freeze dried and their potato patties freeze dried. Ew, because it's freeze dried. Ew. And it was like, yeah, you're right. Good. Oh, that's terrible. Oh, yeah, those are bad. And here's another little subroutine. Do you know what the big excuse for going from everybody called the C-rations to the retort packages was? That was what we would have freeze-dried rations combined in the MREs so that we could save combat weight. And after the troops, especially the whiny panty waste types, kept saying, eh, three guys food, I have to work at fixing it, I have to pour more water in, it's really hard. That was the first thing, it's like everything else, it's like the thing with the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, remember we had to have the firing port, so we had to change the vehicle because we needed an APC we could fire from. And then the next thing they did, Took out all the fixtures and then left the whole cast just the way it was and put a big steel plate over the holes where the gun stations were Well the same is true of the MREs. They took all of the freeze-dried stuff and dumped it now guys I'm here to tell you they had like freeze-dried strawberries. I'm telling ya freeze-dried peaches, freeze-dried fruit cocktail, and freeze-dried pears, and they were excellent. But because I have to warm water up and everything needs a lot of work, I won't re-up if you don't get rid of the freeze-dried food. And do I have to wash my own clothes? That's exactly how a bunch of these doozles were. Now, what's comical is this. Which do you think was more expensive, the standard retort pouch food or the freeze dried food? Well, the freeze dried food was more expensive, guys. And the government, for a change, is actually spending some money on the troops. But guess what? The panty waste won out. That's too bad. Anyway, in the meantime, though, Don, we carry the house away. So the same is true with anything else. I'll put a box out if anybody's saying they want to get rid of stuff like they want to get rid of and that equipment that they decide, well you might as well just toss it out, you just put it in your box. If you've got any more in the truck, I'll take it to or over in the storage unit. I'll take it, we'll put it in our boxes, put it in our trucks, take it down the road. When the time comes, we'll keep our people alive. One way or another we'll have more of something. Better to have more of something. No matter what it is, we don't want to improvise. But I'll go to the worst case scenario, the Vietnamese. You need to read the accounts from the Vietnamese side. of what they had to do to keep people alive or at least to try to. You know guys, let's put it this way, intravenous feed or doing transfusions or doing any kind of drip feed, when you run out of or you don't have those pretty clear lines that they use for, for instance, that we use nowadays for blood and plasma transfusions, or forgive me for drip, transfusions person to person, well they would go steal the black pneumatic airlines off of the vehicles or the windshield solvent lines off of the vehicles and they would go to a store and they would buy you know those needle type devices that are used to pump up rubber balls and like footballs. Yeah what they would do is go buy a bunch of those. Yeah nobody was restricting those Don. They weren't looking at those as needles they were looking at those as sports tools right? Then they would take a hose clamp, you know, those stainless or steel ones or even a piece of real hard course wire, and they would first take the football inflatable needle for the balls, go over to a grinder and grind them on an angle. There's your needle. Oh boy, and then you know what's coming next Then they hooked it up to these hoses which you tell me how they got them clean enough or how they were clean in fact We had a better there that than nothing and they would use the clamp to lock that little air needle in place which now was an intravenous needle or an intravenous feed and Then they'd hook it up to whatever reservoir they had at the other end They've been sterilized or the plasma bottle that they'd stolen from the GIs you know from the military or whatever if they were lucky it came from somewhere else When they emptied it, they used it for blood transfer. All kinds of fun stuff. They didn't throw anything away. Now we don't want to be in that situation right away, if at all. So to do that, we need to have all of the perishables in any way, shape, or form we can collect up and online. They don't go in the landfill. They get put into storage. Even if it's nothing more than old medical equipment that still, again, you would need to be cleaned the way they used to do it, where you had to autoclave or sterilize with boiling water, whatever you can do, that's better than the garden hose and the football plug. I really don't want to go that route if I can help it, but it doesn't mean somebody hasn't done it. It's already been done and they fought a whole war that way. Well, Mark, you mentioned not throwing things away and using things until you use them until you change them into something else and use them some more, be it a coat that turns into a vest that eventually turns into a scarf and a tie. That's a children's story. That's a children's story book right now. It's a good one. But you know what? We've heard the stories of the ... and they aren't stories. The auric recount in the snow, when it seems to blow, and I live here in the middle bit. But the point here is The first year I moved here I looked at this trailer and figured how can I make it a little more airtight and I walked around outside and then I went down to the hardware store and came back with a big roll of silver tape. And I used that silver tape standing out or a nice silver tape to all of the edges of the windows to keep the air infiltration down. And another thing I did was put a layer of plastic between the outside window and the inside window instead of on the inside wall letting that air come in and that infiltrate into the wall. I stopped it in between. which a lot of people have come, that's a good idea Don. At any rate, one of the things I've discovered here you guys, you know, if you want to attach something to something else or if you want to repair something or if you want to make something quiet, your buddy's silver tape sure comes in handy. And if you notice, silver tape has really gotten really crappy as of late, pardon me, you know, duct really gone downhill. Used to be known as 100 mile an hour tape for a reason. Yeah, you're right. Now you put it in a slight breeze and it will not stay on your winter that's for sure. I'll tell you that there is a tape out there you guys called don't particular like to put out a name that we're not getting paid for. You guys there's the Garif you want to buy taping downs that are you don't want to wrap taping your shoes and you don't walk this tape off and you don't this tape doesn't weather if you need a roll of silver and we're not getting paid for this but this is the best target you guys not going to get the yardage out of a roll but when you put a piece of it someplace as long as it's not covered you guys when you really need something to stay in one place. That should have been a commercial for all. Well, what we're tying in with that too though, Don, is the fact that actually remember there's a company and that's probably what they're doing is they're sticking to the original formulas. They're probably Chinese affiliated in some way, but you've got Gorilla Glue out there also. And that's one of those adhesives that it was guaranteed pretty much if you put it on something, it's going to lock in. One of the things to think about, probably a brother and sister product, is what that comes down to. What would I configure? Well, you know, if Dorothy had enough silver tape, she could have, if she had some Gorilla tape, she could have used a lot less of it. That's right. And, or make sure that even Toto wouldn't have flown away. Of course, it wouldn't have any fur when they were done. It wouldn't have had to take it off again. True, but you guys, you know, canteens that rattle, bayonets that rattle, things you want to silence your gear, literally, if you want to hold your boots together. A roll of Gorilla Tape in the unit five years from now might be as priceless as 10 round magazines. I hate when my feet get cold and wet. And that's just one application. Oh, I got quit doing that now, Mark. And I don't have a big pile of money. I don't have a garage full of pot bottles. And when I spend something, when I purchase something, I expect what I want it to do. And Gorilla Tape, you guys, silver tape is junk these days. It doesn't even hardly last in your basement. It falls off, dries up. Think about it out in the world. If this piece of your gear is tape or this piece of your gear is just tape, don your boots. I'll be quiet now but more time you guys. Gorilla. Actually, one of the places where that would come in handy, I know a lot of you guys have Mickey Mouse boots. Now I tell you what, mouse boots in the trade industry, except for the kids that don't know what's going on, and of course they buy the latest, whatever the latest gimmick is, and kind of understand why they spent $150 in a pair of boots and they don't last but one part of the season. A lot of guys have had Mickey Mouse Boots for many, many years to the point where eventually, you know, the rubber cracks or at least it breaks down because the stuff is already, in many cases, the original mouse boots were made back during the Korean War through to the 60s. There was a whole bunch more that were made for service up in the Arctic and other locations where we have extreme cold weather. And they were issued out and the company has built them for a period of time. Mucklux are another kind of boot, but Mickey Mouse boots. As they got older, my example is my dad had a pair of hoes for probably a good 20 years. And my uncle, my youngest uncle on my dad's side, kept bugging him for a pair of Mickey Mouse boots. You're going to get rid of those Mickey Mouse boots? Well, he did finally when they were getting tired. And of course he went out and bought another pair. So he gave them to him because there were few and far between. We had a few connections even back in the day where you could find surplus if you were willing to travel a little bit. And sure enough, the guy had a pair that fit my dad. So my uncle ended up with that pair. Now guys, It got to the point where he ended up on the work site because he was working construction during the winter where you have to take good old silver duct tape and duct tape the boot up here and then duct tape it up there. By the time he's done it's kind of looking more silver than black, but amazingly enough the boots are still working because they were sealed. And when he was done, and finally we found another source and he was willing to go out and get a pair because he realized how valuable they were years later, there were guys fighting over the pair that were duct taped. That's a testimony of two things. Quality of the tape because it survived all those work sites. Of course now I've probably had an extra quarter pound or half pound of tape on it by that time. Which is great exercise for your legs, especially your calf muscles. You have to lift those pounds of boots. But what was really interesting is that they all understood what the value of a pair of Mickey Mouse boots, no matter what condition they were in. So this is kind of a testimony to both the tape or a use for the tape with your cold weather gear. Better that and the boots held together than you with an extra pair of mouths down there below. You know how the soles separate on your regular boots guys? You don't want it to happen, but here's the problem. You're going to run into situations where you're going to wear out your equipment and there will be no replacement. Even if you thought you could replace off of the bad guys. Here's one thing to remember. Boots will always be a shortage item. More so because of the junk quality boots being produced in general throughout the industry based upon precast soles and integrated components that cannot be repaired. Just look at the, you know, go in on it you guys. Boots Fritz, you want my boots? Me. My boots are even his old pair are better than the ones the other guys were wearing. Be that in mind. Many examples of this. We have not seen this and we reached our zenith with
