In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free. and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun, permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number, and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free? Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is evening intelligence report. I'm mark kirky. I'm Donald butcher One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, central, west, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. You will also find us on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations. and UltraNet technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We are also on the Hallmark network, eight colonial states and expanding. Hallmark and the O network and the UltraNet will be joining somewhere in southern or southeastern Ohio depending on who gets done with their projects first. And the Golden Spike event will be coming up. So this will mean that we have most of the country covered with an internet replacement. that will be totally separate and above everything else out there that the enemy is going to try and shut off. Many hands make for what light work and want to say thank you for all the support for you guys and what you're doing. So, Dom, today's date is... Well, you guys, it is the 26th day of May, the day that someone called... oh, 2009. If you're a commie at zero, but we're going to fix that giant eraser. He up Mark and said, hey, do you have cable? No. Well, you should be looking over to that cable on the independent film. The independent film channel, Mark, is running a film called The New World Order. It's three stars they've given it. I understand that there's some other people in it that names in The New World Order. Something to watch because they're going to bring out people that you might heard their voice before. If you've got cable, look over to you guys. And again, wow. Well, International Film Channel, is it independent? Oh, it's independent. Yeah, because International has some interesting stuff too. kind of unique and often into some strange directions sometimes, but very interesting to watch nonetheless. Well, it must be true. I saw it on TV. You've heard us say that phrase a thousand times in a positive and negative form. But in this, you can use it in the positive mark. Well, it must be true. I saw it on the Independent Film Channel. Interesting, to say the least. So the name of the title again is? Oh, The New World Order. You know, the same as the other book that's in the movie by Hitler. Right, the other book that somebody doesn't talk about, as we know. Well, the interesting thing is... It's interesting that with the television broadcasting being the situation it's in, I think the bad guys are certainly getting frustrated because of what they're seeing with alternate media to the point where they're desperately trying to lure or bring back some audience where they know people just shut their system off. Lou Dobbs is on Communist News Network. Now, who do we see with Rockefeller and all the other shysters and the Bilderbergers? Why good old Ted Turner? And who is it that's the primary manipulator of the Communist News Network? Wait a minute. So they realized that a lot of people, or at least the part that they would hope they'd have some influence over so they could get you to acquiesce and come halfway. Well, we're not doing that. So they've got to try desperately to throw somebody out there or at least some information to bring us back into the fold, so to speak. As long as you've got it on, you'll just keep listening, Dom. But what if we don't? It kind of defeats the purpose then, doesn't it? But we still got our information out. So we would say to do this surgically. Find out where the information is being broadcast. You might watch that program. But as soon as you're done, switch it off. Yeah, there you go. As soon as you're done, no don't go, maybe I'll linger here and watch this quasi indoctrination piece being done by Schmidlatt Bill here. No, no, no. Instead, do just reverse, guys. Watch just what's necessary to evaluate what was done. and ignore the rest. That will be a safe way for you to survive the experience. It should be interesting anyway. Anything else coming up on that schedule though? Anything comparable or is that the only piece? No, it's just attention. Here we are, you guys pay attention to the independent film channel. It's a 20-some or 140-some. It's a good long film called The New World Order. She can't see it on her schedule, but back soon they're going to show E.T. I'm sorry. Your number cannot be connected as you have not paid your bill. He had to build up a gimmick that he did. He kept checking the cell phone and it just simply said there weren't enough bars. Platinum bars that is. Press platinum. Oh wait a minute, no. A Star Trek? Oh that's right. Anyway, real quick, let's see, we've got that coming up on television so keep an eye on your cable access locally. We have a meeting coming up. I've finally got the paperwork here for the Michigan Wolverines. Gogebak. Let's see, that's the first brigade, Don. First Division, Superior, the Superior Division, Upper Peninsula. First Brigade, Gogebak is hosting for the western part of Upper Michigan a Wolverine General Meeting to get ready for the state meeting. It will be 1st Division out of Golgabek, although it will be closer to Irons. For everyone who is familiar with the area, the individuals that are being contacted will be confirmed by probably tomorrow, because pretty much everybody has been notified. It's just a matter of making sure this weekend is when that initial meeting will take place. 2nd Division, North, which is Northern Region, 21 brigades total. Out of that, we've got the Escoda. 14th Brigade, they are going to be the host and also will be giving a report down on what happened in the Alpina area and Osco da. But over towards, again this is over towards the coast, Osco da County is one county in. So, 14th Brigade, 2nd Division, Northern Region of the Wolverines will be meeting there. We're trying to get this state meeting squared away for our friends that are listening, who are especially in the, for instance, the Midland Bay, the Saginaw, Tuscola, etc. Guys, we need you to start organizing your end of the stick there because things are happening pretty fast. The 3rd Division, Central Division, Oceana, and Nuego Counties. You guys are running with the ball there to get the rest including Mason Lake, Osceola, Mecosta, let's see, Montcalm. Make sure I pronounce that right. Kent, Ottawa, and Muskegon. Don't forget the northern end of Ionia. We've got a bunch of stuff happening there. We've already met with our friends a couple nights ago. I had some of the guys over from Cass County. They are going to be the sponsor group for Southwestern, which is 4th Division South. That will be the 16th and also the 17th brigades out of the Michigan Wolverines that will be organizing there. So that covers pretty much the state, Southeastern Michigan. The guys down towards Milan, I think, are handling everything there, and that's Monroe, which is the 21st Division under the present structure and the restructuring. They will be meeting to elect a new state commander for the Michigan Wolverines. One more thing here. Ooh, I missed the note. Okay, also for Ogama County, which is the 20th Brigade, Ogama. I don't know, I always liked that county. At least I liked the name. But anyway, the guys there, including Henry and George Dee, are going to be having special communications meetings. This is Communications Tuesday and they might even be listening tonight, Don. So let's say hi to the 20th Brigade of the 2nd Division of George. So we didn't forget you guys and I was a notation and it's a little posted on the back here so I got that squared away. For our friends that are in Indiana, Don, we have had a lot of requests for information or at least for contact in Indiana. Be patient because we have two different issues here. The southern end of Indiana is being expanded upon dramatically. I've had a lot of requests. That's going to be plugged in real quick. Northern Indiana is going to be divided into east and west. Reason is the amount of force strength available, although we'll see what happens in the northern area. It might be kind of a little bit of a horseshoe there, like a Florida looking configuration. That's, of course, because of interstate, like the way the highways are connected or whatever. So I'm helping out with that and I'm going to need some help from our friends. Some of you guys are in the chat room right now are from Indiana and I'm going to need you to pitch in too so I'll let you guys know as this develops. We're probably done. You'll need to go down and speak there at one of the division meetings. There's a request there so I'll see what happens about that. We'll put it all together. Last time we spoke there I think we represented 37 or 38 brigades. which included independent formations and a couple of the communications companies etc. It's going to be a little bigger this time. Again, the date, I'm just giving you a warning order right now for Indiana. I am working out the paperwork on that as we speak. In fact, I'm buried up to my eyeballs with stuff in little weird stacks here and there. Part of it is because we've got some other printing that's being done, book printers finished with the next project. We're working to get the graphics for the other books finished, plus the calendar, which is the Battle for the Republic calendar. I've got that right there and that drawer done, finished and squared away. All I have to do is figure out what all we're going to do to cap it off. And as we promised, we're going to drag Dom down here for an editing project, because he's got to make some noise on a machine in order for us to finish putting the second night vision tape in the can. That's not an if, that's just a when. We promise that's going to be done. Try to get it done if I can this week. We're going to have to send some mercenaries up to expedite you down here. It'll be like, wait a minute, expedite, extradite? No, we're just going to borrow you. They're pretty close in the decade. Yeah, too close. Anyway, so we're looking good there. I want to also say thank you again. We've got a couple of people that are coordinating this event down in southeastern Ohio. and we might even be down there. We'll see what happens. It depends on how far out it is and obviously the date. Share time, there's only 24 hours in the day, guys. We're using up every minute we can. 63rd Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marines, they are now expanding to include and they're actually doubling in size. What they're going to do is divide their formation up to create a second complete combat element. They've had so many people that have recruited into the Colonial Marines with the 63rd. that they've decided to actually restructure. They're putting a new unit flag online. That unit flag will be part of a presentation. They're first of all deciding how the units are going to divide up because they're a little spread out. Obviously common sense here is put the units that are closer to each other in cooperation with each other. Then there's going to be a presentment of the command and a presentment of the flag to the unit. This is a really cool event. When this takes place, the husbands will be, of course, the members who are the rank and file and still with the elected officers, will be presented by the wives and girlfriends, the unit colors, which are made by the wives and girlfriends. It's literally a sewing bee session in a way. And the first flag is a presentation flag, which are the unit colors in parquet. In other words, it's actually stitched. It's a lot of work. Everybody participates. There are a few little key things we'll show eventually that are part of the symbolism there. But that event's going to be scheduled and coming up, so everybody pay attention. And congratulations to all the guys that helped to make that possible with the expansion that we're seeing. Another quick thing here, Don, and I don't have a, I haven't had a chance to reproduce it, but the latest, or the present structuring for the Wolverine militia, the present commander, or I should say the last commander, is out of state. And for that reason, there's a need to reorganize the command structure again, just against, it's natural. This is not a crisis, it's not a disaster. One of the hardest things people seem to understand is that militia commanders are elected. This is normal. This is how it always was done before the American Revolution. Some units were actually commissioned by the respective colonies. Many formations were fully independent of the majority, about 99%. They would be brought together by a certain group of people, usually recruiting individuals that were known to them in the community and in the county. They would bring them forward. They would be using Robert's Rules, which is amazing enough more people knew them than understand today, so to speak. They would go through the process of looking for individuals to present themselves. They would be voted in as officers for that period of responsibility. Depending on the bylaws and with Michigan Wolverines, the bylaws are written such that every six months, a state meeting of the different commanders all brought together is supposed to take place. During that six month period, the state commander serves. However, if in the next six month period they either decided to replace the commander automatically, which they can do, Or if there is a need for a belief that there needs to be a change in command, then all of the proper references and presentments have to be made. Then they have to go forward into the unit meeting, the state meeting, and through the process they actually initiate a new election to either confirm the existing officer, although typically that happens anyway. And then from that point forward, if he's not approved, then the new officer is chosen, the new state commander is chosen. There is no animosity. In fact, in many cases, individuals have stepped down, which you've never seen in the controlled media, by the way. You will not see that. You see one person over and over again. And this individual, even when he was not the state commander, is obviously where the control press wanted to go back to because you see they needed an image. And there are other individuals who are the elected state commanders from the state meeting of the brigade commanders and division commanders of the Wolverine militia. That's how it works. Other militias form in much the same way. Colonial Marines operate in the same way. And drawing from the ranks of the many experienced individuals that they have, they're able to organize accordingly. So it works very well. Now, the only thing has been, as we know, people decide, well, we'll just let it ride. And so in some cases, in certain years, the six-month meeting date was not met, and instead they had a yearly or an annual meeting. I would disagree with that because there are too many things going on, and especially now, whereby they can't really wait anymore. They're going to have to get the job done, plug in what needs to be done to make sure that the meeting is established, dates for your date is locked down, and everybody appears. So we're working on that right now. Don't think we're sitting on our hands here at this end. We're just swamped from all directions. The level of requests, and I want to say thank you. Don, another thing. Andrew? Also, for Janine, these two hard chargers have handed out how to find the sheets everywhere. But one of the most interesting things is I've been getting a lot of response from both of these people. Andrew from Ohio, thank you. Because we're getting mail response from these flyers on a regular basis now. It's been very consistent. One of the things I can tell from what area and whose activity has accomplished this. So, very well done. I cannot compliment these individuals enough. And I'm very proud of the fact that they continue to do what they're doing. So I will say again, thank you on the air. Another thing, Don, we need to do at your end is, guys, we want to wrap this up. I know there's a lot of you, in fact, even up north in the UP right now, some of the guys are listening. We want to spread this throughout the commands, spread this throughout the different militia elements. We're trying to get this project done. This is a one-time deal that Don put together. It's not a big extravaganza. It's a straightforward issue, but you may have to collect resources, work together, in order to get this thing accomplished. At the very least, the unit can acquire technology that would be very useful in the long run. So, Don, you've got a night vision project. Explain to everybody what's happening. Thank you, Mark. You guys, we've been talking about this. a week ago, a Wednesday, something like that, two weeks tomorrow it will be. In the interim we've gained half of our goal. There are a number of people out there interested in. 90mm front lenses, you guys, this isn't a little piece that's going to fit in your pocket. I sold gnomes for years in your t-shirt pocket. They were a great little piece, but this is going to outperform the gnome. I know what it will do when I found out how many there are and what we can do with it. I did my best to get this deal going. in quantity is being passed on to you and it is evidence to you guys you'll see this part, Mike Jaguar in Bella's catalog for like $69 I'll put it in your mailbox. Now I don't think delivery so it's going to be even more I do I you know just off the I'm going I'm pretty certain that by even more $430 you guys will get you up for 90 millimeter front lens plenty of feet to gather light for that now if you want to talk to me about it or on site viewers first or even thermal site you can reach me at 231-231. It kind of rolls off your tongue there you know 1-231-31-58. You know I can beat them up pretty good once in a while and this is one of my best examples Mark. Beat them up when it comes. You're looking it doesn't have to be just for a curve. That's a little. Can you get goggles? Yeah but now we talk for are not the object. If you want to talk about night vision I'm happy to talk with you about it. Hopefully to steer you in the right direction. Fill you with information that is you know not just made up. 31-31-31-58. coming in here to the compound and tunnel network, the 231. And as a matter of fact, I get a letter here that is a confirmation. Actually, what it is is a pollock report on some of our activities with both the Wolverines and also Colonial Marine Militia. And I just want to read this one piece because it is true. And part of it, again, you guys have to decide what part you're going to take and what part you're going to leave. Dear Sirs, as the time gets, by the way, this is G2 Letter to Chaplains from Colonial Marines, actually it's the 63rd, here we go. But this went out to all units and also the Wolverines have sent out a similar letter because I've got it here and in their file. Actually I've got it right there, I'm touching it. As time gets close to the battle, you are going to have to start your work with our warriors and their wives and family. Those of you that have been in war know of what I speak. Others will have to have faith and get the job done. Your war starts now. Some of our units are in the battle already. Don't be fooled by the silence. Our intelligence and counterintelligence people have been at war for quite a while. Our troops are getting ready. Now is the worst time in combat. The waiting and the planning. Those of you who have been in combat know we will be going through divorces, hasty marriages, and you should be prepared to perform these weddings, drinking and raising hell included, of course. Smile face there. You can't condemn these acts, you must understand them as shouts of stress and believe that there are things that must be done before the upcoming battle. These are things all troops go through. Normally they would go through them overseas which would cause less stress, although obviously we know long distance problems overall and problems when they return home. But guess where this war will be fought? Of course I will note separately from that you understand guys, that means we're fighting here. I believe you will find that when both the men and women warriors stress should be less. Single people or people with spouses that don't understand will be under the most stress. Good children may start acting up. This may be a sign that a family needs help. Be sensitive to our female warriors. They haven't gone through this yet and many of them are going to make sure that they don't aren't on the front line. But they've got to be ready to fight by the way. That's Mark. That's not the G2 here. You should see these people one by one in a one-on-one situation. Don't minister to them in public. Obviously, there's common sense there, but this is for our chaplains. Especially in light of what we've been seeing, one of the other things you need to look at is unit fundraising to support family members that are going to be left behind while troops are in deployment here in the United States. This is for, of course, the militia units that are out there. Again, you have to remember our first mission as chaplains is to take care of the whole of the unit. That includes the people we're fighting for. And it is the goal of the Chaplain Corps to deal with this effectively. Sincerely, AAK, Colonial Marine Militia G2, CCL-12. And again, I appreciate this going out because these are things that they're dealing with right now down in preparation for what we see happening on the horizon. And the chaplains are a critical component here. I know there are a couple of people that have asked, requested to become chaplains for certain units. I will point out that they are not going to be simply chaplains, they are fighting chaplains. And we take this in the same heart as any other special forces. Actually, special forces are probably a classic example, guys. Everybody had two missions. A guy could be a medic and a demolition expert side by side. or could be involved in any number of different tasks that seem askew in a way. But it's because the basic rule with Special Forces A team was that every person had two jobs. Ergo, you have the ability within a 12-man team to teach 24 critical skills. Case in point, any Special Forces, a 12-man A team, a 12-man 12 man force element was not a combat element per se. Certainly capable of fighting, certainly adept at warriors across the board. But guys, their first mission as a team was to work as teachers. to work as instructors. Each person has a job. With the 24 trade tasks that the 12 people have combined, two each, in some cases three or four, but still two primary, they have the ability to virtually field a 600 man army. Now that's how a lot of the cadre units have organized for years and both brothers, sons, grandsons now have been trained by our veterans from the Vietnam War, from the Korean War, even from Gulf War I because that's been a few years back now as we all know. Even farther back Mark, if you look into like, oh you can find you guys on disc, Victory at Sea, remember that it aired in the 50s and 60s documenting World War II at sea. If you look through that, I believe you'll see someplace in there, a guy standing there in Manila, the territory Guam, beating a big drum of militia. Now you might wonder how that ties in. At the start of World War II, there were a thousand Marines there, Mark, but they were training militia in Guam and up and down that you have to find. Look in the faces now. Where are you going to find a copy of Victory at Sea? But it's out there, you could mine it, big lots. The United States Marines in training. What more could you ask for? There's documentation right out there. But just to give you an idea, everybody is doing their part. One of the things that I've seen is we've had some very competent and able people step into the training and command elements, which is critical right now. Other people are saying, well, I don't know. I need to have somebody else guiding me. To a degree, that's true. But if you are by yourself and you're listening right now, but you have, and not really by yourself, but let's say you have four, five, or six people. You don't have to wait for Mark to tell you you're going to do this, this, and this. What you can do is organize that five-man fire team now and just go for the basics, guys. And the basics are readily available in a number of different ways. Now, somebody's going to go, well, you should tie your knots this way and or you should wear your bonnet that way or you should, well, those are the little details you guys can work out. You pick the path that you feel comfortable with or that you've decided through your team's, you know, decision process. Mark can't tell you how to do everything, but I would recommend that again base it upon the five-man fire team system and the ten-man squad Because those are the building blocks and of course that all starts with the individual Now we've put sop together. We've got how to organize a militia There's all kinds of Patriot manuals PM's that you can get hold of right now Go to Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg calm and then go to our PayPal page and take a look at what you think will be useful. You decide what it is that you need. If all you can afford, guess what, is one or two and you have to photocopy the extras, well congratulations, that's your job, not Mark's. If you can support the program by picking up more because it's tit for tat, it saves you having to reinvent the wheel, that's fine. But do whatever you're going to do. However, this is an example of when people are finally plugging in properly how it is that you're supposed to be, you know, again, you pass on basic data for a couple of different reasons, not the least of which is overall evaluation. And that way you can see progression as you develop both manpower at the original unit level and as you expand into other areas. Now most of the units we have right now, and this is true especially in the center of the state here in Michigan, have actually been accumulating a lot of people who originally thought they were all alone. Well there's only 20 of us and there's nobody... Oh wait a minute, another two blocks over or in other words across two cornfields and on another road here's a whole other formation that's organized about a quarter of the county. How many times have we run into this people? I'm all alone! No you're not. In fact, all of you would be amazed. Bad guys want to keep preaching that. Throw that BS down. But it means also that you're going to have to organize. You're going to have to deal with your administrative problems. And no, we don't want any deep, vast administrative pool. We do not need 29 people pushing paper behind one guy with a bayonet. It's not going to work that way. that way you're right quick what up that paper and throw another ball at him that didn't do any good how about everybody does one twenty five balls paper head towards the enemy and uh... he laughs for a moment later and then dumps the magazine into the target area and the rest is history what we need our combat infantry we need mechanized infantry we need armor we have their aviation all of this is in place all of you guys would doing this You've seen some of what we have in the videos. There's a degree to a degree. We've kind of let a lot of things pass into a video image for a reason. Hopefully you get the idea that you guys create what it is that you need. You're going to have to go out and you're going to have to reinvent the wheel in some areas just to fill in the blanks. But armored pickup trucks guys are pretty darn cheap in their throw away. When the time comes you don't cry about it, you park it, you jump out of it, you leave it and you get on down the road. It was a convenience while it was available. When you're done with it, you're done with it. You understand? That's Battlefield Expendance. Exercise just took place this last weekend. This was a very, now this is just an overview. This is going to be for the, this actually was part of what I was meeting with the guys about this weekend. They stopped in for a minute, dropped off the reports and they were on their way. This was a very busy weekend for us. Some of us had training, others worked on new equipment, some had meetings, and others were on Operation Lone Star. A few of the new units were scheduled for the whole weekend. Other units only did an overnighter. In other words, some of the people can only stay for part of the weekend. Some of us had a number of jobs to do this weekend. All of those jobs, they got done. In other words, they were completed. We accomplished all of our cited goals. However, these issues are bound with buying new equipment. and no IR signatures. In other words, no illuminators. We're either shutting them off or experimenting with other technology. They now work well in almost total darkness. And some of our units now possess Generation 3 equipment, although it's in the extreme minority. New coatings on scopes. One of the armorers is actually doing a recoat on a lot of the older scopes. And apparently, I'm going to reduce this because there's some things we don't want to talk about. reducing overall IR detection. This is something that's been critical and it's been lacking. So again, there are technologies out there we've talked about before over the years. Just a reminder that there are different coatings available to reduce overall general reflective potential, which is another thing with glass whenever it's in the field. If you're not using it, put it out of sight. Does everybody remember that? Okay, if you're not using it your optics go out of sight you either cover them or at least bring them down close to the chest and face them perpendicular you know parallel with your body, but you know perpendicular to the Verizon to the field there's a reason for that because any and all reflections any and all types of Illumination no matter how small you may think it is Don. What does it look like in night vision? Oh, it'll look like something's on fire perhaps if Christmas like a Christmas tree Christmas tree, okay Our paramilitar, in other words, now the airborne units work this week, and needs more aircraft. A couple of birds had to make round trips. This is true especially with an Air Mobile class and Airborne class that they've been giving. They had a 12-man stick. It tends to mess up time schedules. And of course, we also have a new company that needs parachutes and parasails. They're working on that. They have a source for camouflage parachutes, by the way. With this new company we will need a new air wing, more aircraft, exclamation points. So obviously, wish in one hand, defecate in the other and see which one gets full first. We will try to find more aircraft. Overall, and I don't want to get into the amphibious end because we have some special work going on there, but the overall report, again, this is the idea to give you a first of all, the past report identifies weaknesses, the follow-up report confirms corrections. And that way when everybody's done, and of course also another thing that we've done traditionally in the past is debriefings. Now I have a policy about that, and of course it's kind of like the old bomber cruise. You don't wait until like a day or two after the event. You immediately debrief as people return and you're finished with an operation. The more timely that intelligence is collected, the more accurate it is, well, I should say, forgive me, it will be more accurate as long as it's fresh. The sooner you collect it, the more accurate it will be. The biggest thing with a debriefer is asking questions. That's very hard for some people to get used to doing. What you do is you actually have to choreograph when you have As you choreograph an exercise, I've had to do this many, many times, you will have four, five, six, or ten combat elements, sometimes as many as a company of each. When I was running out four, we could run seven exercises simultaneously deploying a company anywhere from as little as two squads to a company at each site, supporting seven different formations at the same time. Now, in doing so, each of those exercises be they what we call a freestyle exercise where there's a wide area of training and there are variables in the criteria, that of course is the most complicated, more so than you might think. The tack lanes or controlled repetitive environments are easily managed because with each opportunity for them to go through the motion, they are obviously better practiced. So that by the end of an exercise, after you've repeated, say, what we call a tackling, where Don, we simulate an aggressor force on the ground and the recon team has to come in and observe it, and we have seven different classes that will be repeated, or 10 classes that will be repeated for 10 different squads. Well, obviously halfway through this, somebody's going to figure out how to do it the way they're supposed to and everybody's happy. Not that it's that complicated, but it's the idea that they're going through certain motions and they have to be careful because they're having to meet certain criteria that's very narrow. Well, when you're done with all of this, you want to debrief each of the elements. If it's a training operation or if it is a combat tactical deployment, when you bring your people back in, you divide them up to a degree so that each of the teams is in their collective group, but still working as if they were working in front of you, as if they were deployed. And so what you will do is you will say, for instance, zero five hundred dollars. What were you doing? Then you'll get a brief description of the overview of what actually transpired. Now you'll remind everybody of what the original mission concept was. What were the original parameters that were laid down for the patrol or for the activity? Now they described the actions and what either transpired correctly or where there were failings. You will halt the person at that point and bring all of the other elements up to a particular point on the clock. And this allows everybody to listen and to understand what went right and what went wrong. This is especially critical, men, as you handle more and more troops in the field and you have to tweak the system. There is a basic rule that everybody must understand. Give the least number of orders possible. Now, why is that? It's very simple. The more orders, when you give an order from that point forward for a simple task, In many cases, people will wait because they will expect that order from that point forward. We don't want automatons. We want dynamic, effective combat warriors able to be versatile in the environment, but we also need them to be able, they have to do their part to lighten the load of those who have taken or are part of command. so that they can focus on very specific tasks that are very much part of tweaking the muscles, getting the muscles to work in a certain way. Well, you can't be giving minor orders, for instance, for a uniform issue or for when to drink your water or when to take a dump. It's that simple. It's not how it works. And even the sergeants are in this situation. You've got five men, or you have 10 men you're responsible for, or you're a platoon sergeant, you have 40 men you're responsible for. What you do is you set up standard operating procedure, SOP. This SOP eliminates most of the guesswork. Then all you have to focus on is the critical components. Again, there may have to be a variant because, boy look Don, there's a guy in the wrong place. I wonder how he got there. Oops, wait a minute, that's not one of ours. That can happen, can it, under any circumstance. Okay, so we have to have a standard operating procedure. We also have to be fast on our feet. There are two reasons to correct errors that take place or because of incidents that are negative, but also for another reason, to be able to exploit advantages that become available. We need dynamic, decisive thinking individuals who are able to move quickly on their feet and are willing to make decisions. Now, that's what's, again, it has to mean that everybody's got to be on the same page. So you can't exclude people. You want people to be incorporated into the decision process to a degree. Or at least to understand, okay, when this happened and as this transpired, how did this person act? Did this succeed? Okay, by countering the action, you're countering the event that occurred. Did their action develop properly and did it proceed correctly or did it create or become a detriment to the overall activity? This is what you're trying to tweak, you're trying to get the people to start thinking. Okay, good response. You guys still were able to perform your mission. You were reduced in speed or time, but you compensated for it in other areas. This is especially to try to infiltrate or exfiltrate. And again, standard operating procedure eliminates a lot of the guesswork, but it also means that every man has to do their part. Anyway, and that's what I want to say thank you again to AK because again he did not have, in fact this is an example of the type of performance we're seeing. I will also say something else. During the second Minuteman deployment down on the border, we had aviation units that provided support and I had a chance while I was behind the wire guys, they sent the SIT reps to me. I had a pretty good understanding of the overall deployment even though it was behind the wire for both of the Minuteman deployments. A lot of you guys wrote to us out there, a lot of guys out there in Arizona and Mexico and Texas who were part of those deployments wrote in California. I got an excellent overview of the order of battle including first hand photographs from a lot of the people who were right down there on the border as they were deployed. whole piles. In fact, I was able to keep a lot of people up to speed. It was kind of interesting. They were all like, well, they saw the stuff on television. It was all BS. And especially when they could see firsthand information and could see that these were originally like original photographs and people talking about the subjects that were written in reports. And they didn't, you know, this was all general information. There was nothing, they were divulging that was a secret so much as they were confirming effective operational support and operational security. One of the things that really impressed me is the Aviation Arm did an excellent action and after action report. To include what they did, what actually held them up or what wasted time, and also recommendations for corrections with the third deployment, which by the way didn't happen. Had it, they would have had a larger air resource on the ground, shame on the people for fumbling the ball and what they did. because good people were plugging in and were providing the support and they had the expertise and individuals who obviously were in the management end fumbled the ball completely and failed through a combination of cowardice and malfeasance. Now, not naming names, you guys are going to have to decide who those people were, not me, because we weren't the ones controlling the deployment. But had they proceeded, the action would have been even more successful than the second Minuteman deployment on the border. It would have been more devastating to the drug trade, it would have been more devastating to the slave trade, and it would have been a sharp slap or shall we say boot to the head for the ring knockers because it would have been done with no existing deep budget. In other words, give the Patriot movement, give the militia a billion dollars. Do you know what the border, how it would be sealed up? Think about the trillions wasted by these parasitic thieves. think about just in fact I'm going to say that you realize what we would be doing with a million dollars in a deployment like that. Tighters and drones. Oh my goodness and you know what guys we can even deploy equipment and leave it there. Now that's one of the dreams that I've had and we've discussed this before. It's something that's been coming up again in letters I've been sending down there right now. The idea behind it is we take all this older equipment we have in trucks or whatever, we standardize on a model, we go out and we pick a bunch of them up and you drive them down there and you leave everything behind but one commuter vehicle to bring you all back home. And everything from the tendage to the field equipment to even observation equipment if possible. stays down there and is either deployed on site and left or deployed on site and is used by personnel who are rotated into the area of operation. That's how it should have been. That's how it should be. Another thing real quick, and I know we're going to run out of time. Well, actually, it's only, we got 15 minutes. One of the other things I would address about the border deployment is there's no reason for a construction company down there to be taking its business offline and using its equipment to improve the border. as far as the private work that was done. What should be happening, and there are many companies across the country who would have been more than willing to donate machinery. Right now guys, Laternos, Bulldozers, Cranes, Draggers, everything you can think of is a drug on the market. And we didn't need to take the best down there. What would be cool is to get these companies to donate what is simply the dog on the lot. Stuff that they don't it's not brand new still more than serviceable just not pretty you clean it up a little bit You throw it down on the border, and you run it to death What are we out? for the time that it runs and does its job it would pay for itself and All we need then to do is mobilize and motivate manpower into the area of operation See how simple that is no fuss no must common sense and what it requires is somebody who? When they do that, you don't hear this plop plop as something hits the ground between their legs. Therein lies the rub, as Shakespeare would say. It's sad that certain people absolutely just drop the ball. My question is, I have an idea. But it's something that needs to be dealt with and it's something we need to look at again. It could be done very easily. It would be very quick. We have a lot of grandmas and grandpas or even more persnickety than they were three years ago. What do you say, guys? How many people out there have been burned by what's happened with NAFTA and GAP? Think we can find the manpower? I'll bet you we can. Think we could find people who would be more than willing to provide supply and support? I know we could. And here's the only thing I would argue against. I don't say send money. I'm asking you to do something that demonstrates a lot more in both emotional stability and the fort right attitude of the people as I ask you to actually send the material support. I would ask it would be better off if a unit, say from Wisconsin or Minnesota, were to find an old pickup truck or a whole bunch of them, a couple old pickup trucks, F-150s, buy three of them for $500 apiece. Brett, grab some old sheet metal, rivet up any rust that looks like it's on it. Dab about five coats of old house paint in olive green to make it look pretty. And by the way, the old house paint will wear just fine. It's one of those old tricks with regard to tactical vehicles. And as long as the tires are decent and the brakes work and the engine runs and stops and the transmission will continue to turn, that's a nice tactical vehicle to leave down there. But here's the thing. Throw in water containers, throw in food, throw in all the things you can donate that are tactical support items. You drive the vehicle south with three vehicles and a van. And the three-quarter ton van is a little bus type. And what you do is, in fact, it can be a rental. It doesn't need to be one you're even going to keep. And what you do is you make a point of taking all the stuff down there, stay down there for the deployment. And when you're done, take the titles, walk right over to one of the local units, sign the vehicles off. hand the keys to them and say, Asta La Winnebago and head on home. That's a statement. You want to kick them in the teeth? Don't send money. Send the hardware. Send it to the troops right there where it's going to be used over and over again. You've got an excess of something? Send it down. You've got extra tenage? Send it down. You've got extra optics. Send them down. Collect everything from everybody. Hell, even go through the neighborhoods and actually ask people, hey, we're setting up stuff to help support the Minuteman militia down there on the border. Tired of NAFTA and GAT. Tired of everything else that's been going on with your jobs being undermined and your nation being destroyed. Pitch in and help us with it. Now, you get somebody that shuts the door, who gives a squat? Go to the next one. You'll find somebody, in fact, look at this way. You may find somebody that goes, you know what? I've always wanted to support something like this but nobody's ever been smart enough to ask. Where have you been all my life? Yeah. Exactly. And you can make it anonymous too so that way you all don't worry nobody else will know about it. You just, you know, here's where you drop stuff off tomorrow night and come on over with whatever you want to throw in the pickup truck and we'll take it. Hell, someone might even have another truck for you. Someone might even have another piece of construction equipment. Shubbles. chainsaws, whatever you think might be useful, whatever somebody will pitch in, congratulations. And by the way, if it needs work, okay beyond that when you get down there on the border, let me point something out. That ain't a vacation. It's a working mission. When you're not in the LPOP observing or if you're not with a patrol unit, you're to the rear, your job should be wrenching and helping to build up and set up better support for the ranchers, better support for the property owners, help to pitch in and build or construct support sites. One of the things you can take down with you is construction material. And what you do as a unit is actually build a location for the unit or for anybody else that's on the site. in the way of quarters or for instance a supply hut or whatever you can think of. Common sense would dictate that you make it semi-permanent and consider the environment. It's the desert so you ought to make sure it can ventilate. All kinds of things can be done guys but it's a matter of everybody getting motivated and it all stems from standard operating procedure at both ends. With regard to our people that are listening right now, I know we've got people all over the country and I know we've got people down there on the border that understand what I'm talking about. It's frustrating because we saw two dynamic successes down there on the border. I don't know what the hell happened between two and what would have been three, but somebody wet their pants and needed to change their depends. That's really the problem. And again, overall, same situation, I'd say, for all these militiaments that are out there. This SOP, actually, would be sit reps. Forgive me. Should I read one more here real quick? I don't want to do that because that's not really for the public. Hold on a second here. Operation Lone Star. Real quick, I'm going to read this one section here. Operations in general. The operation went well. We had some interesting things happen. None of which were a problem, although they did have to be solved while in the field. Very thing we were talking about before. One unit ended up one mile from the objective. They were found by recon and relocated. They had a GPS go down. Obviously, a little sub-note here, do not rely on GPS. There you go. That's what I said and yes what, exactly what we warned everybody else. And this is by the way, I will point this out. They've been having problems with GPS. randomly with the civilian systems. And I'm going to point out something about GPS I said years ago. Do you remember this, Don? When the time comes, they will shunt your GPS systems from working. Into the void, yep. And you don't want Mr. Compass, that ain't going to happen. And by the way, everybody carries a different compass, or carries compasses in different forms, and that way you've got them in place. But anyway, I should finish this. Forgive me, but there's right there jumping out at me. I didn't chance to read this page completely yet either. Try not to risk your life or your people's lives on any one piece of equipment. Always have a backup and use it. Now here's the thing, I guarantee
