For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You've I permits to travel and permits to own a gun. permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children are people. 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in 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 rite, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Good evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report. I am Mark Kornke. I am Larry Lawson. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, West, East and South. Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com and we are live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. You'll also find us on AM and FM microstations, CB Bay stations, and Ultra Net technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, along with Southern and Central Alaska. You'll also find us on the Hallmark Network, 8 colonial states and expanding. Headed east from the coast into the mainland. And we're going to be looking at the Golden Spike program coming up southeastern Ohio. Today is May 28, 2009. Thursday, AB. And of course we've been getting a little rain up here in our part of the state. Gray cast overall, a little cooler last day or two. Temperatures have been dropping a little bit and off the lakes here for us. So it's picking up a little moisture dropping on us. And then some cool air, low pressure points coming along with that. So it's been pretty, you know, snippily out there at night. Everybody remember, Keep an eye on your plants, depending on where you are, away from the lakes, because temperature drops enough. And we can look at even some frost. A little late for that, but it can still happen. So you want to be careful. That's for our friends way up north in the upper part of the state. Anyway, with the situation the way it is, hopefully we're going to see some pretty decent growing weather. We've had phenomenal, like you don't stress us enough, the berries are loaded. The apple trees are loaded, the cherry trees are loaded, the peaches are everything that's a fruit-bearing plant of any kind, any berry bush. The production this year is going to be phenomenal. And we've got fantastic combinations of sun and moisture so far. Not too hot, not too cool, just right. Everything we have in the greenhouses took off, of course, the rest of the way. And that's been going into the ground, or is going into its permanent planters. for the season. Overall, we're just on the edge. We've got raspberries coming up, Larry. We've got Juneberries. Those are going to be next. They're looking like last year. So overall production means we've got to be ready with the canners and everything, which we will be. And lots of black raspberry, and lots of blueberry, and lots of Juneberry uh... jellies and and such are going to be a problem and rich to say the least is we're going to be up to the five-gallon buck is really a couple times over so will use mall now there's a question i know if you're working on your garden down there where are we with uh... gardening in indiana right now what you would be looking at what you would what should we be doing well i think we're uh... pretty much into the warm weather i mean it's a little cool tonight uh... seventies but uh... you're pretty much ready to kick in the year squash the melons. You can even start pumpkins if you want to. And I'm not talking about starting pumpkins for the October pagan fest. Some of the smaller sugar pumpkins that you might actually want to cook with, you can actually can pumpkins. However, I thought the procedure seemed kind of strange. It talked about cutting pumpkins into cubes and then storing them in that fashion. but pretty much you can start your hot weather crops now and get them in the ground without any problem. I myself here have lettuce, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, all of this is started. I've even thrown the okra in the ground. So pretty much everything. I've got the cucumbers started. They're going in the ground. I've actually got three gardens that I'm growing this year, Mark. My daughter-in-law has got one started at her place now, so putting in a fence around hers, and the fence will be used to grow up the beans and the cucumbers, possibly even peas. All these things need something to trellis up, so you need to be thinking about these things. I've seen more gardens this year than I have ever before, so that's a good sign as far as I'm concerned. People expand to their gardens, they're taking the threat to the food supply seriously and you should too. As a matter of fact, I noticed that flour production, a lot of people had flours out there for sales. These last week we would have seen most of those gone. Instead, the vegetable products disappeared, but the flours are still sitting there in mass. It's kind of demonstrating where the money situation is with everybody. Major stacks of stuff. We were just putting in production today as far as what's sitting on the store fronts right now and there's going to be a lot of leftover stuff or at least a lot marking down progressively so if you want to purify your neighbors you know while you're at it you can even plant flowers everywhere depending on what it is like marigolds actually serve a purpose they help keep some of the critters away So, marigolds are not a bad thing in general to have lining and moving around in different places around the garden and even around the property line and around the house. So, there are many different breeds. You've got some that are as large as carnations and others that are normal size, about a little bigger than a thumbnail and everything in between. So, just a matter of being creative, food production is critical. That's why we always bring this up because The other side obviously is planned on using food as a weapon. They've done it in the past. We're looking at food production on a massive scale. The other part though is having the tools to be able to process the food. Doesn't mean you can't eat it while it's coming out of the garden. But we're also looking at the long-term storage for the next season, especially with tomatoes. Nancy has a perfect formula set up calculating for a certain number of individuals, so many m****s per year. So we put so many hundred quarts of tomatoes away every year. This year is going to be a high priority. Same with all the other products. Typically we jar can and we also dry. On pumpkins by the way, for a lot of you soldiers out there, listen, that is a field ration for the standard colonial troops. Pumpkin was one of those things that was issued out in whole or in hams. Typically, you're actually given your own pumpkin, Larry. And congratulations, how you cooked it, that's your problem. We just gave you the food. Be thankful we got that for you. So one of the things that we do is we actually dry and candy the pumpkin so that it's a trail or travel ration. And everybody that got some last year is like, well, I need some more. So, we're going to put those recipes up. They're very simple, but it's just a drying process. However, it's regular old pumpkin. You wouldn't know it once everything's been done to it, but pumpkin and also want to say thank you to our friends in Missouri because we got some really cool recipes for the squashes and such too for pickling, which is another area we're interested in. food production in whatever way it can take what we can get the most out of the garden, transfer it to something in as many ways as you can so you have it all through the season. And squash such as zucchini is something you get a lot of. We don't want to see it go to waste. We want to find out as many ways we can to use it so that we can again take all that production and put it in our pocket so we have it through the season. I'll tell you what I think, Larry. We have a caller. Who do we have? George from Texas, I got a question about gardening. Go ahead, Larry's right there. Yes, I heard sometimes it's good to put a little wood ash into the soil. Well, make sure it's a little, because I made the mistake of dumping wood ash in my garden over the winter, and I changed the pH so much that when I put the cabbages and broccoli in the following year, they started to grow, and then a couple weeks later, the fractured crack fell over dead. You don't want to overdo it with A little bit of wood ash is good for potatoes and things that are a little more prone to that kind of pH. But let me tell you, tomatoes and some of the other crops, you change the pH too much. You want your soil pH right around 7.0. And if you've got a Lowe's hardware or something around there for about $7, you can buy a probe that can be inserted in the ground and it will give you the pH. But you don't want to go nuts with wood ash. Just a dash. Just a little bit. Because somebody says wood ash is bad. Usually when you see forest fires, usually the forest come back much greener than usual than before. Am I right about that? It depends on the type of plant on the pH that it's looking for. With gardening, you want it about 7.0. You don't want it to go... They do sell sulfur and other products which I had to add to my soil to change it back. You don't want to add too much. Yeah, some. I don't know, I got tomatoes. My kids are planting sunflowers these days. I don't know if they do any good. Sunflower is pretty well working in all directions. Kind of like pumpkin again, it'll grow pretty much everywhere. They're not a weed, but they're pretty reliable. And there are many, many breeds of sunflower to begin with. And that's another good transporter storage grain, too. Obviously, you've got sunflower oil. You can squeeze. One of the things, looking at the long run, is after we get into, say, a real deep economic bind, cooking oils and things of that nature are going to become more difficult to access. People are going to be fighting over, for instance, the lards again, the way that they used to. Oh, I'm only into the polyunsaturated stuff. Well, you know, the lard's pretty natural. And it'll be one of those things that there'll be a need for. And you're going to use all of it, so you're not going to have to worry about stuff going rancid. You're not going to worry about stuff going out of date. In fact, just reverse. You'll be scrounging to try and find enough. That's one of the two things you'll notice that was on the endangered species list with regard to rationing here real quick. Rice, flour, and cooking oils of all types. So, there are a number of things we can do off the shelf or out of the garden, so to speak, to actually produce what we need, and sunflower is one of them. Well, one good thing I did do when I was in Florida, they had 50 pound bags of rice for like $8, and I bought about 500 pounds worth of rice. That's a good start. That's a good start. Again, that's a good start, number one. Unless I said start, because 500 pounds, how many munchkins you got? Two. Well, you got two children, two adults, and probably some other people. Carpet baggers are going to show up that are going to be knocking at the door. Personally, I would give them the oatmeal if they didn't show up with anything, but that's just Mark. Anyway, you know how it is. We feed some people. But oatmeal and rice go a long ways. Barley is another one, but it depends on where you are in the country as far as the price of barley. Even the Japanese, when they cook, barley is one of the other grains that they use. And in many cases, they don't do just a pure rice bowl of rice. What they'll do is a percentage or a couple of handfuls of barley mixed in with the rice to get the rice to go farther. What about dried beans or pinto beans? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, we've got probably, I'm sitting on top of, I'd say about 800 pounds of canned. a dry pack can because we have our own canner, our number ten canner. We've done rice, we've done red beans, rattlesnake pole beans, we've done kidney beans, we've done navy beans, you name it, it's all in the cans. Now there again, we just made a meal here the other day that I think is what, the average component was about 12 years old. and it tasted pretty good to me. We use our storage food. We actually cycle it through and progressively use it up and then replace it as we go. So it's an ongoing program. The big thing is just make sure you start using some of the oldest. Date the stuff so you don't use up your freshest stock. Rotate the stuff out. Start to use the oldest first. Yes, also too it's more like I bought a candle open and I'm getting ready to put some of the seeds into the ground. Could that be any good product to grow? Well, actually it is. The biggest thing with some of the stuff getting out of the stores now, I've noticed this. Larry, you have a lot of stuff that comes out of the grocery stores that when you put it in the fridge, if you forget about it in the back, it's still sitting there two months later, isn't it? Well, some products are radiated with the seeds useless. Some are hybrids, which it just depends. You're kind of taking a risk with the stuff out of the store. I know some local grocery stores like when we have here will actually buy produce from local growers so some of that stuff may be heirloom plants but you're kind of hit and miss there. So it just depends. I mean, worst comes to worst that maybe your only source for seeds. It is a thought and there are some books on seeds from places like restaurants, etc. I mean when you get watermelon from restaurants that are normally not irradiated or cooked. so those seeds might possibly be viable, but whether or not they're heirlooms or not, it's hard to tell. Yeah, I go too. I'm about to go and I'll hang up. Mike bought a whole bunch of Miracle-Gro. And I only put down the plants once a week. Is that all you need to do? I would say so. That may be actually a little much. I know I had some Miracle-Gro. It was the liquid cartridge kind, and what they had to plant. And I noticed, for some reason, my rhubarb, Other plants seem to take it pretty well, but my rhubarb did not. So again, you're changing soil pH and other things when you're using some of these additives. A more natural type of fertilizer, like horse or cow manure, or even chicken manure. But you've got to let stuff like chicken manure sit out for six months or so. Otherwise, the ammonia levels are so high they'll actually burn and kill off your plants. Some people like the 1212 fertilizer. Again, you've got to be careful using some of that stuff, but I'm probably going to use some 1212 this year because I just didn't take a whole lot of time to weed the soil with natural fertilizer like I have in years past. No King but King Jesus Mark. Thank you. Take it easy George. Again, one of the things with regard to food storage and also food production, as we pointed out, Back when the Depression hit in the 20s into the 30s, the seed companies went under. I've mentioned this many times. And the only way that you were going to get any additional seeds is to either buy bags that was possibly hybrid stuff off the shelf that was food stuff, beans, whatever, and or scavenging from other sites or even from other fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, if at all possible. An example is a lot of people do grow musk melon, but they also grow Oh, let's see, mangoes. I'm going to plant one on the ground here pretty soon. Just experiment, see how it looks, and we'll see how well it works. Usually they do, which is kind of a cool indoor plant during the winter. But again, we've had some that have been the size. I used to have a studio ceiling out of my parents. And we had a orange tree that I grew from a seed. It ended up being about 12, 13 feet tall. Thank goodness it was a chicken coop type roof. and paralleled the side of the fireplace. And I actually got about five or six oranges out of it every year during the season since we had it planted in a big old five gallon wash tub. I grabbed the handle on one side and my dad grabbed the handle on the other. We'd throw it outside during the summer. It'd take off and get healthier and then of course bring it in for the winter months. So it's not that you can't do it. And don't tell me you can't be done because I've done it personally. It's not a matter of, it's just a matter of how motivated you are. Again, if you keep feeding it right and making sure that it's got some good sunshine and got the water it needs, no matter what the plant is, it's going to make it. It's a matter of whether or not it's productive and useful to your needs. The other thing about gardening here right now, guys, is, and of course we've seen all the other stories. There's been another one out there about where they're proposing to try and make it illegal for you to have the food production, etc., etc. They're bearing this stuff in all kinds of legislation. There's been several comments. Somebody sent a cute little cartoon that was matching with the one. It was a cartoon. It's a cut and paste done as a computer clipping with the garden in the background and one little kid's off in the foreground crying, rubbing her eyes. There's a bat faggot type piece of debris in a black uniform arresting dad. Mom's got her hands behind her back and they're arresting and handcuffing her. Of course, the whole gist is that The latest proposal is that if you have a garden you are of course evil, you are not acceptable to the party, blah blah blah blah. A well-find party is going to end up with a hole and that's what's going to happen. We really don't care. The key point here is they are always wanting to tax the air, they are pushing the carbon BS through, all that is just the biggest scam on the planet and that needs to be done away with real quick and it will be. The whole thing about controlling the food and the water and the air Guys, we have no problem with the resources and the space that we have. We could be producing in fact in any category of animal or food stuff that you can imagine. It is purely a matter of intentional mismanagement. This includes wildlife. One of the things years ago, Larry, and I remember this like it was yesterday, although it's been 20 years, back in the day when 20, 20, and 60 minutes were being real fact finders and getting out there and digging those stories up. One that came up was about, for instance, zoos and also all of these eco-freaks that are pushing for all of the endangered species list. And it turns out, one thing that we always wondered about, it's like, wait a minute, these are all animals. If you set up a true breeding program and you have different pockets of stock, in different places. Each year your numbers should at least double. In fact in most cases they should trouble easily. Well it turns out 60 Minutes did this little expose that well it was not healthy to take these animals off the endangered species list Larry because they don't make any money off them when they're marketing them for zoos and such. It turned out that the Sierra Club and all these other Shysters that all of their BS was purely because from the marketing end they had an entire money racket scam plugged in and they were talking about how there was a certain little hoofed critter from Africa that was kind of like between a deer and a small goat. They were like, they are so rare and their little horns are so cute. They pointed out that one of the zoos actually just let them breed naturally. They had about 40 or 50 of them in this little herd, but they decided not to sell them to other zoos because if they sold them to other zoos, there would be more of them for people to see. And if they sold them to private stock people, they'd be breeding just like they were in the zoo. So they decided that they needed to get rid of the excess. Oh, but the animal was still on the endangered species list, and all the little ring knocking butt buddies swamp and spit, they thought that was OK because, well, after all, they had their investments in some of the same animals in other locations. And the fewer there are, the more valuable they were to trade. So much for the eco-freaks and all of their honesty. In reality, it's all a BS program to begin with. I mean, come on, let's put it this way. It's like wolves, guys. How many... You ever had puppies? Okay. How many puppies does a she-wolf or she-dog have typically? Now, it depends on what kind of dog you've got. Because if you've got a certain breed like some of the hounds, you don't get one puppy, you don't get two puppies, you don't get six puppies. You get a whole pack full of puppies. Not all of them make it because mom can only feed so many. But it's amazing just how many puppies sometimes you get. Well, with wolves and coyotes it works the same way. But they don't want you to think about that. They did the old, oh, they're so alone. There's so few of them. Oh, we need to feel bad. What's that sound? Oh, that's the sound of your poodle in the backyard on the chain being looked at as lunch and in fact being used as lunch right now. Oh, that's right. Those few and far between coyotes, they've grossly overpopulated because they breed like dogs. Oh yeah, that's right. Oops, forgot about that. Anyway, the same is true with all the rest of these creatures. So as far as us really having a problem, The only problem we've had has been intentionally fabricated and exacerbated by the ring knockers out there, guys. That doesn't mean it isn't real. It's very real. Because once you let a little click of nut cases like this get into controlling things, the control freaks. Well, they get their old eggs sit behind their closed doors, rub their hands, charcoal a bit, and they laugh about what they're going to either terminate or damage or fold, spindle and mutilate next. which is why we need to be ready and separate from all of the little best laid plans of the Rats and Rodents and get the job done. This season is going to be a good season. If you grew things last season and you did well, congratulations. There's your practice. Now you do it again, it becomes part of your lifestyle. Larry, actually, you've pretty well invested in and are now pretty comfortable with an off-the-grid lifestyle, aren't you? Well, it is a little extra work. For several years I've been using a water heater that took citronella, kerosene, or diesel and you'd have to light that every time that you wanted to use hot water. Now of course I've got a propane water heater, propane refrigerator, I am off the grid. It does take a little extra work and maintenance with the batteries and the generator, et cetera. When things collapse, you're at the point where you're going to continue to be. However you want to have spare parts and fuel and to be able to continue on this what otherwise things are going to get worse for you but you know I'm pretty self-sufficient the only utility I have is this telephone that we're talking on that's it there are a number of things that you can get these days that will help you guys have Sam's Club up there in Michigan Oh yeah, we've got them all over the place here too. Well, I tell you, I'm really pleased with the latest generation of LED lighting, which takes next to nothing as far as energy goes, folks. There's all kind of LED bulbs. There are LED floodlights now. I was going to be using some of the fluorescent flood lamps they had, but the problem is in the wintertime when it's cold, fluorescent lights don't power up very quickly or very bright. Now you have LED lamps that are bright from the get go and take very little current. There are LED floodlights with motion sensors on them and there's one at Sam's Club for about 60 bucks. It looks like it's pretty well made, very bright. It's got seven, I think it's like a seven, no it's a four point something volt battery. Solar charged. Of course if you get this, take a look at the design. There's an air gap around the battery and also the button on the top to eject the battery would allow water inside so use your head and put a little silicone on it. I had one termite who got into it so you know you live and learn on these things Mark. I'm sitting here looking at a sportsman's guide. There's some very nice Coast LED lights. Very bright illumination. Now, remember the way they go used to be the little xenon type lights that the cops would carry around. Well, now Coase has got a whole line of these LED chip lights that are just as bright as the xenon lamps, but they don't take the funky 3.0-litre lithium-volt batteries that are a little more expensive, and they don't take the bulbs that are more expensive, and they don't suck the juice out in 15 minutes. These things go for hours. You can go to your local China mark. There is a Stanley floodlight. It's a little tiny thing, Mark. You ought to check this thing out. It's got a 5 watt LED chip light in it. This thing will run at full brightness for about an hour. You know how floodlights work. I mean, normally those things run 10 or 15 minutes, and then the 6 volt lead acid battery, which is a little heavy, that thing is drained. These are nice little solid state lights, very bright. You can adapt them to shotguns or rifles. It puts up more than enough illumination to take out a target at night. Of course, you're going to be visible while using it. But a lot of neat stuff out there, Mark. I've got a lot of the stuff I'm going to employ against a small domestic enemy this evening that's been raiding the chicken pin here. Raccoons. I've got a smart little bugger that's been coming around and avoiding getting in the traps. stealing some of my coons, tipping garbage over and such. I'm going to be employing sensors against this thing. The driveway sensors that you can get from Sportsman's Guide or Radio Shack, I use those so I know where the varmint is at. And then I'll be able to turn on LED lighting by remote control or with sensors. And then I'm going to take the target out. So I'm going to be doing a little practice hunting this evening, Mark. No, not Rocky the Raccoon, no. Hey, tasty meal. Now, remember, you've got a pelt too to use there if you do it right. Well, it doesn't matter where you put the hole, remember. Pelt's a pelt. So, Rocky the Raccoon tans nicely and another critter for the pot. Not a matter of fact, you can even can raccoon. Oh, possum. I don't know, we even go possum. We're going raccoons here. We actually have a similar thing we're watching for with the garden right now because we've had a little more production in the small game area this last season. We had a good winter, although it got strong winter. We had a hard winter. But good food production, so all the critters were fat. Everything was chunked up. And coming into the spring, we had some big bunnies around here. And I don't want to mess with them, even though we do have the coyotes. And I know they've gotten some. Some of the rabbits that have produced are actually bigger than I've seen in several years. Those are a nice food source to have sitting on the slide provided they're not being fed out of the garden which is what's going to have to be watched too. Game getting and varmint elimination, there's a couple of ways to go. We've got Bruce's snare systems out there of course. A 22 is an option. Also other game getting type devices like crossbows are quieter in many ways so that when the time comes There are many people around the area that know that you might be interested in defending something. The only thing you're going to hear is a scream and squeal or whatever it is you shoot. There are a number of other trapping systems, not just snares, that will work, but raccoons are pretty smart. One of the things to remember about a raccoon, if you set up a trap, and especially, first of all, the trap that you want to use, you want to make sure It very least properly captures if nothing else, but preferably kills the raccoon. The reason I say this is because raccoons have a tremendous memory and they will pass the information on. So if you set a trap on a root, and it's a trap you haven't used to those animals before, if they survive it, they will from that point forward, no matter where they experience the trap, no matter where you set it up, oh, I'll put it in a different place. They will identify and recognize the threat and will avoid it and you'll defeat the purpose behind using the trap. That's critical. A lot of guys like to use the old snap snare, snap traps and such, and there's many out there, different types. Which again, if you're using them for the first time, typically a lot of the raccoons have never experienced them. But we've trapped and or had to deal with raccoons with larger farms where people have like show sets of chickens. I've mentioned this story many times. In a couple cases, one of our friends, his brother decided he just laxativesically set a few traps up and he really didn't prep everything in time. He didn't tell his brother. Sure enough, they set the traps off without being caught. From that point forward, that particular category of trap was no longer useful with that particular click of raccoons. So we had to go out and exterminate with Xtreme Prejudice using the next set of tools. Which was okay because we needed the target practice anyway, Larry. But again, a lot of the critters you're facing out there are pretty intelligent and amazingly enough, both the possum and the raccoon can be pretty wily. They're constantly paying attention. They're nocturnal for the most part, although many urban raccoons work day and night because, hey, the feasting goes on 24 hours a day. from their end. Now from our end we have to pay attention because you also don't want to stick your hand in the wrong place and end up with Mr. Raccoon or Possum wrapped around your hand. One of the reasons is that remember if you are still in a somewhat civilized state of affairs with regard to the environment, hospitals if they find that you are bit by something like that, especially if the animal can be identified to actually have acted like it was ill or that there was something wrong with it or at least you identified something wrong, Trust me when I say that they will go through the rabies shots as a precaution. Especially if they confirm that the animal is ill in some way and you weren't paying attention. So if that's the case, you will go through the rabies shots. That's not the best of experiences depending upon the system that they use. There's a newer one, a little less uncomfortable, but all of them require a whole lot of shots. The traditional pesture treatment is, again, It burns, to say the least, a lot. I mean, let's be honest here, it's over a dozen shots in the stomach lining area. Oh, I know. But rabies is nothing to play games with. There's nothing that I know of once you get that that's going to save your life. That virus will reproduce. And once it enters the brain, you're pretty much done. But I did have one coon. I've got the, what they call the have a heart traps. where the two ends close simultaneously once they enter the trap and to get the bait in the center trips the ends and closes. I did manage to actually catch one coon using that trap. However, the current varmint has somehow learned how to remove the food annoyingly and set the trap off and yet he's never in it. This is a smart one. He's knocking over trash cans and buckets and He tries to get in the chicken pen, etc. There are some intelligent animals out there, but I'm bound to determine he's not going to make it past the seed. The threat will cease to exist, and whatever he did eat, you're going to get payback on that, right? I don't think I'm going to eat him. The coon will probably become possum food. Again, there are some very simple tools out there. that will apply to the larger varmints and pests as well. These small infrared, you know, they use them to detect cars and things. They call them a driveway detector. I'm really pleased with this model. You can see it at Radio Shack or at Sportsman's Guide dot com. You can get a receiver and a transmitter. The kit, I think it's about $70. additional transmitters are $30. Each receiver can have up to four transmitters. Now these things take four AA batteries, which you can post up to 1,000 feet away. And I'm telling you, they go quite a distance. They're very reliable, and they work on infrared body heat motion. So as long as you make sure there's not a bunch of trees waving in front of it, et cetera, your false alarms are minimal. These are very good to secure areas that you don't want people or varmints getting into. And this is something that you can keep running, even if the grid goes down, you can keep this thing running. The receiver runs off a 9-volt battery backup, and it's very easy to adapt these DC types of equipment. Walmart has various kinds of 12-volt adapters. that you can plug in the back to keep these things running. So that's the way I run these things, is off of 12 volt anyway. But if you want to make sure that you're not surprised, remember when they used to have the seismic intrusion detectors, well, you'd have to run wires out to the sensors, et cetera. I've got those here, but that's a little more elaborate. This is a far easier system to use, Mark. Very good. And again, the advantage here is that you're looking at alternate power sources. able to hook up quickly. One of the other things is these are actually pretty mobile units so you can station them or it can refix them anywhere you want, right? Oh, absolutely. I mean, if you wanted to pick the receiver up and move it someplace else, you could use it as a portable system. That's the way the seismic intrusion detection system was sort of billed. You'd go out and you'd set up, you'd run these wires out, and then you'd have a perimeter. Well, that's a real drag compared to this thing. This thing, again, 9 volt battery, again, a 12 volt DC adapter. Put your force sensors wherever you want. And you can add additional receivers and sensors as you prefer. The range on these things is up to 30 feet, so you could create quite a perimeter with this if you wish. Very good. And again, the cost on the unit that you picked up is how much? Well, I'll tell you right off the bat, you know, I'm looking at a Sportsman's Guide, it's on page 86 of this one. You can go to Sportsman's Guide dot com, it's more expensive at Radio Shack. It's the same unit, but looking at it here in the kettle, looking here at the kettle, and wireless, change the name a little bit. The basic unit is $60. Of course you get shipping on that. Additional sensors are, and again, the transmitters take four double A batteries each. But I mean, shoot, I've seen those things sit there for up to a year with one set of batteries on it. Now, one precaution I would advise, I put mine inside a, you know, has a separate battery pack inside the transmitter. I put that battery pack inside a small Ziploc bag just in case one of the batteries leaks. And if you've ever had battery-operated items, you know that that is a probability sooner or later one of these batteries is going to leak, which will damage the circuit board on these things. So by putting it in a bag, I protect the circuit board a little bit, just in case they do. Very good. Well, what we understand again here, guys, this is a chance for you to end. There's a conversation going on back and forth here with Alfie and the crew about security, as a matter of fact, or at least some concerns. The intrusion technologies of all types, as simple as the dollar store, I just saw them, I know they've got some left, I don't know how many of these will be left in the area, but you've got these little pull apart magnetic window safety screamers. Well you don't have to put them on windows guys, you can actually have them laid out in places where people are going to trip them in different ways, or you can even trip them yourself by running a fishing line and just pull them apart. As long as it lasts, it's agitating. It is, and imagine different ones going off. It doesn't mean that they aren't going to try and break it. I always mount these out of reach. If you want to shoot it, waste a bullet. It's another one you won't be able to point towards us. But you've got to be able to get to it. And if you can't get to it, you can't see it, and it's still going off, it's designed in an agitating frequency so it will cause problems. Seismic intrusion of all types and motion detector systems of all types are priceless because that gives you another set of eyes and ears where you can't stand. You could combine up to 1000 feet away, you could have one of these sensors, you could also at that same point go out to Sam's glove and get one of the sensor solar charged flood lights. When that area is tripped, there is also a light that goes off in that area. Something that is continually charged by the sun. These things are great Mark. I'm telling you, there is another unit in the Sportsman's Guide dot com. For $100 they've got a very fancy game camera. If you are wanting to keep an eye on a certain area, you can actually get photographs or 15 second video of intruders in your area. These are meant to detect deer or other animals for people that are trying to do some hunting. But again, all these things can apply to larger animals. And when one comes with a tuner, I mean for $100, a digital automatic camera, movie camera, et cetera, they've just got some cool stuff out there that we could use, Mark. Excellent. Again, we'll take advantage of what we can find and what we have that fits the budget. That's the big thing. You'll have to juggle some money accordingly in some cases, but it's worth having the technology in place, especially where it's highly mobile. It can be reorganized or re-engineered as you change locations. It should be part of your transfer or emergency kits that go with your vehicles and equipment if you can afford to put more than one of those sets together. Because in a mobile condition, it also will help to deal with area security where you haven't had time to take control or build up the area. Say with a hasty defense and a temporary encampment, there's all kinds of ways that this stuff can be used. And you can take advantage of it to increase the odds in your favor. In fact, extremely so. Just like night vision, real quick, before I forget, by the way, I want to remind everybody, and we are almost to the top of the hour, only got 16 minutes left, I want to remind everybody that Don Betcher, of course, is offering this binocular set. The best thing you can do is give him a ring, and you can call him right now. You may catch him there at the outpost. Hold on a second here. I'll make sure I get the number right so they don't screw up on that because now Mark is. Anyway, the number is 231-796-8458. That's 231-796-8458. That's 231-796-8458. This is a binocular system. Dom's pretty well cut the other, everybody else's price. What we're doing is organizing 20 people, or 20 groups of people, to pick up 20 pieces. We get 20 pieces out of the company at once. We're saving about a little under $50 per unit, which is a heck of a savings. And the prices are shaved down as far as they can be. But for all of you that are listening, you're looking for night vision support technology. These are binoculars. large collection limbs. Talk to Don to find out more. He's covered it on the air several times. You'll find the information in the archives at the beginning and the end of pretty much all the shows, the programs in the last week. We're trying to accelerate this and get it out of the way because we'll just get this project done. It's 231-796-8458. Give Don a call. And one more time. I better make sure we print that into the, it's 231. And that's 7, 9, 6, and 8, 4, 5, 8. About $430 to $440 right around there. That's including shipping, but what I understand and most important is that basically even these undercuts even Sportsman's Guide as far as price goes. There are only 70 of these units left and it's a pretty decent little system for LPOPs, monitoring property, security points, overwatch on say patrol areas, squad leaders and team leaders for them to evaluate. second gen or? First generation but a very large collection lens and binoculars which is the big thing. You need two units, two tubes for the price. Now one thing I would mention we talked about before years ago is the other consideration is this. These are both pretty good tubes. Obviously they're matched. You only have a power source, a power supply, but it's not a big deal to find another power supply that's industrial grade. And perhaps, of course that's up to the individuals, a creative engineer might even divide the binoculars to create two monoculars so that two individuals have night vision. Oh, not everybody thought about that. So that is a consideration. You'll have to take a look at the system as far as the connections for power. I would recommend you take a look at some of the other industrial night vision equipment where they went over to AA or AAA batteries. All they did in many cases with the more sophisticated military stuff that was adapted is they put the battery tube right over top of, or right on the bridge over top of the eyes. And most people have handled the stuff and never even realized that's the battery pack. So there are solutions to replacing or to supplementing, or in this case if we were dividing the system, whereby you could actually create two monoculars. However, it is a binocular set by what we understand, and Don's the one who's been working with these. This is a really nice system. For a first gen system, it is very reliable and proven. The cool thing is that it's not like these are seconds or anything like that. It's just that this is the end of the run before they switch over to a new body style. So hopefully everybody's understanding we're now offering solutions, not just complaining about the problems. I know a lot of the troops are getting ready for what's coming real quick here. The bad guys think they're going to get away with stuff. And there are probes right now. Again, I understand. I want to say thank you to Alfie for reporting what he is right now. I will also point out that We had an incident here in Michigan, and I repeat this one for everybody, so pay attention. Larry William Wilcox. This was last Wednesday. Now he's not affiliated. There are different militia units out there, and some are more conducive to passing on information to others or contacting other people. However, it's militia country up in the Emily City area where this happened. And for that reason, at about 4 o'clock in the morning, there is an article. I think of our people who are listening in the chat room can repost it for us. So people can take a look at the propaganda story as it was generated. But in the Emily City area near M53, what they did is they came in at 4 o'clock in the morning. They went after the individual there. It's because of court filings, guys. So everybody understands this little variation in the theme, but what it comes down to is they've been trying to take and deal with, you know, steal his property. He's still fighting them very much in court, and he's just dealt with another phase of this. both the state and apparently the Fed came in. So whatever BS they pulled out of their arson, we'll find out more. Overview is that when they did carry him away, the report I have from one of our people who's up there is that they flew him out by helicopter because they feared that they could not leave the area with him. That's what kind of an area that is too, by the way. There's been a lot of confrontations. Easily, I'm going to warn everybody about this, that the thumb area and the middle part of the state and the east side especially, In Michigan, it's as likely as not that it could start there. And there are many different types of organizations and militia formations that are independent. They're very hardcore, they're very well outfitted, and they're not going to put up with a whole lot of nonsense. Plus, there's the general attitude of the area. Where they were is Indian territory for the bad guys. So this action took place last Wednesday. We had a blurb on it, but nobody was able to follow through on the information. We finally got the contact area. I've got other people from one of the other militias working on this right now. The gentleman who is involved, Larry William Wilcox, has actually been active for quite some time, but with another element of the Wolverine militia. If you want the article, get your pen and paper here and I'll post, or actually I'll give it to you over the air. It's ypress.com. Now by the way, the gentleman is not in jail right now. He's actually home, but I want to understand, or back with the family. Again, this was designed to be a muscle rate. This was trying to get him to sign off on his legal paperwork is what they are trying to do. That's forward slash loc dash 20090510510103.shtml. One more time. Ypress.com forward slash stories forward slash 051009. So anyway. So they released him? Well, I don't know even if they arraigned him. This was, like I said, they took him to Lansing but we understand which if you look where Imlay City is, They took him across the state and took him to Lansing proper which is rather interesting because you see this is outside of procedures. So this tells me that this is desperation. What's happening is a lot of people are working in the area with regard especially to sovereignty and Also, the eloidal title issues with the property. If you own it outright and they're trying to muck with it and you make sure that you clear with the eloidal title and post everything properly, they can't go at it, it's ill wizard of Oz thing. And they can't sign off on this stuff. They can't just make it disappear. One of the things about all of the, for instance, the UCC filings and such, the state doesn't determine UCC filings, guys. The state is a sub-agent of the Secretary of the Treasury, a prostitute for the International Monetary Fund. Now when you go to filing UCC, remember he is the grand poobah. You don't go and ask him hand in hand. You walk in and you tell him what you're going to do in the way of business. His sole job is to be the intermediary to actually follow through on what's given in the way of orders. And another party can't be, you know, bossing you around in this action. They have to go hat in hand or they have to try and tell the Secretary of the Treasury that something's being done wrong. Well, the problem is if you file everything right, which typically is the case, if they accept it, it's been filed correctly, then what they'll try to do is, as we've said earlier here, possession is nine-tenths of the law. They'll try to coerce people into surrendering or signing off on their filings. Now, what's happened is the thing has become so complicated and they're so terrified, they don't want anybody to know about how this stuff works, that especially at the state level what's happening is since they're second parties, they're lower on the totem pole than the person who's actually filed and cleared all the land and property and is now using these instruments. Now, in this case, these were filing liens and filing specific injunctions against. individuals who are in the process of trying to steal property just like the cases we were covering earlier today. Around the country, this is happening all over the place. And here in Michigan, where you've got a whole bunch of shysters, especially on the west side, the Southfield area for the kosher mafia, that's their stomping ground right there along with areas to the east. That's southeastern Michigan. On the west side you've got the kosher mafia over there out of Chicago, but they're mostly operating near the wannabes out of Grand Rapids. You've got the Masonic ring knockers out of the Kalamazoo and out of the Lansing area in conjunction with kosher mafia elements too. And so you've got these factions and all of them are desperately trying to make sure that they protect the racket, but people are finding out about this and the state's really well educated. We have a lot of people in the state of Michigan that are completely up to speed on this and they don't really get in. They're just property holders. The thumb area of Michigan. Lay your Michigan map on your left hand on the table. The thumb area all the way down to the middle of the base of your hand, halfway to the base of your hand guys headed towards Detroit. That whole area is completely up to speed in this along with a good portion of the middle part of the state. And that's where the bad guys are having problems. So what they're doing right now is, because the reason I bring this up, the reason they're doing this, you've got to understand that what they're using, all of these fictional papers and all of this stuff that they've built up, they're marketing it for as long as they can and they're cooking the books for as long as they can. But once you start pulling these blocks, you're taking pull property or you pull yourself out of the straw man racket, you're taking whole chunks out of their Ponzi scam. It works just like fractional banking. It's like a whirlwind of machine. That's why we're talking trillions of dollars today. That gets off the whole thing about economics. We are looking at trillions and now quadrillions of dollars because of the very racket we are describing here. It was impossible for people to understand this when you try to explain it and they are dealing, well they thought, only in millions. But it is not only millions. It is tens and tens of millions for each of us. It is God knows how much money for all of the property that they cook on the books this way. If you realize what is going on and you turn around and you tell them what to do, you get out of the racket You are no longer a piece of property, now you are a banker. You literally are a sovereign. You are the king of your household again. And this is what they are terrified of. We have watched two cycles of this back in the 90s. They were desperate to try and find primary signers and witnesses to try and get them to turn stuff around because the last thing you know that they're frozen they can't do anything with anything they can't steal it they can't take it they have to try and convince you to sign it back over to the racketeers. So, I see this as a flag warning. It's not just in one part of the country where they're trying to steal stuff or do other things. But here in Michigan, this just happened. And again, it was because it's not a splinter group or any BS like that. It's just you're dealing with so many different elements and so many different people, and some are not communicating with others for whatever reason. And this, of course, I finally got contact from one of our people on the road. We've got at least confirmed from the news article there's a lot more out there to follow up on and we're going to do that. In fact, I'm going right to several of the horses asses. Ourses, there we go. Well, the rear end of a horse. It's the rear end like a combination jackass horse. There we go. Horses, horse. I'm going to go to that and we're going to deal with it here shortly. We're almost to the top of the hour, by the way. Looking at somebody else here. As a matter of fact, the cat is telling us we're getting pretty close too. We're going to see what we can do to get all the rest of that reported and put in place. I will be talking with one of the unit commanders who is with one of the more specialized formations in that area. I'm going to warn everybody, guys, if they start to push this. It's not just this guy. This whole area. The whole area we're talking about is even the townships. Many of the people in the townships are flat out with us, Larry. They are in the militia. Many of the county sheriff's deputies, most of the sheriffs in the area, know our people. That's why I believe they took the guy out the way they did because the sheriffs already said they won't provide any help. Or this way, what they'll do is they'll just look at them and stare at them and they come in and do this stuff. Then when they scream for help, the sheriff will fight out and say, you know what, you're on your own. Which has happened several times in this area already. So I will warn everybody as this escalates or something like this proceeds, guys we can be in the middle of a conflict here at any time and there ain't gonna be no slowing it down because I ain't gonna put the brakes on it. Hate to tell you guys, y'all better be ready for it now. Nope. We are at the top of the hour Larry already. Well, it did not take long. Well anyway, again, God bless the Republic. Death eternal to the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. We'll stay in right. We rock. Kick him in the slag. Send him over to the border there by the scruff of the neck. Roll him over to the fence, Larry. And the little chihuahuas will grab him. Ooh, the tender parts will be chewed. Ooh, those dope peeling chihuahuas. We'll get you to the front. Thank you, Larry. $20. Get G3 Max for just $2 or a military fuel can for only $16. Add this iPhone holes for another $7.99.
