Live 365. southwest and west. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We are also on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We are on the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. Ooh, a chunk of Nebraska, the third of Wyoming. Hi guys. Also, Iowa slash Iowa, and then back over the Mississippi to the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Golden Spike Project is in motion. Remember, there will be a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, and a party on the beach on Saturday, party on the beach on Saturday, party on the beach on Saturday. So we've got a lot of work ahead of us, guys. Today's date is... Oh my goodness, it's the 23rd if I'm right. I'm pretty sure I am. It's the 23rd of June. And that is the second year of Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with the K. And that means the bad guys are in motion. Spike, go ahead. You had a follow-up report, please. I was reading here, I heard earlier today that McChrystal resigned, so I went and started checking it out. So let's hear it. The top US commander in Afghanistan has reportedly offered his resignation to Barack Obama, which he actually did, and Barack accepted it. In the wake of comments he made about the war on terror and the US administration, General Stanley McChrystal was summoned to the White House. Ooh, I'm scared now, I would be, huh? Yesterday, to explain a Rolling Stone article in which he and senior aides criticized and mocked top officials including commander in chief, very bad ears. A senior congressional source told the UK Daily Telegraph the White House was considering possible replacement. General McChrystal, but it was unknown if the President Obama would accept this resignation. This article is a couple days old. Actually, he did accept the resignation and Betraya stepped in. It sounded to me like the way they talked. He was more than happy to step up. He's a yes man. If you look at every picture I've ever seen of him, if you take the United States military uniform off of him and slap any other uniform on him, it would just be the same. What is it the McChrystal said that was so horrifying? I mean or do we have a sycophant in the White House? Well we do we know this That is the character is so on you know shall we say unstable Shall we say schizophrenic? I mean shall we say I mean I can go right on down the shopping list of isms with this character and in and icks This care. You know the problem I have is he's so incapable of handling any kind of critique, but especially, see I think the funny part about this, you gotta remember, he was on MTV, Obama was with all these cool rocker dudes, they had him all over the place, and Rolling Stones, you know, here's the other thing, did he make a call to Rolling Stones and threaten them because they did the article? Oh! Oh! What are you... No, no! Spike, I'd say just the reverse. What do you want to bet the kosher mafia did an old knock on the door over at Rolling Stone? What do you want to bet... Oh, I would imagine they did. Yeah, they're going to do a fetch and, you know, a shuck and jive slash fetch and beg with the next issue. You watch. They are going to suck up. I guarantee it. Mark my word on this one. The reason I say that is because, gee, all McChrystal did probably is kind of just like, well, in fact, who knows if he even actually said what he said. One of the problems they've had is the general staff officer that's there, McChrystal, I mean, the only other option is this. There's two directions. They actually said what they said, and Rolling Stone is not towing the line, and considering that our Commander in chafe, you know, as in his diaper rash thing, is really, really, really not very confident here that everybody is, you know, goose stepping properly. So he's axing them and he sent henchmen over to talk to Rolling Stone, number one. Number two, remember we have division in the ranks to begin with. Nobody trusts Osama bin Dingdong, and rightfully so. So McChrystal, what they did is they, you Rolling Stone fabricated their BS. Now if we don't see any reprimand for Rolling Stone, this will be the ID. Then, Rolling Stone, perhaps to a degree, lied through their teeth or paraphrased things. McChrystal said, you're gonna believe them over me? You know what? Tell the hell with you then. And of course, then, well, I'm going to offer my resignation. Well, Obama wanted the resignation, one way or another, maybe. This means he can blame somebody else for his problems. And of course, you know, Betrayal, which has been a suck up everywhere he's been, is not going to be a surprise with regard to his next, you know, next management position and his operations over there. Anybody who's over in Afghanistan, all I can say is, you're screwed! You're screwed! Sorry guys, you know I'm talking right at you, but you already were screwed anyway because hey all we're over there is to make sure the opium's moving. That's all the job's for, that's what's going on. As they just lamented, it turns out that the government's been buying the safety of the few patrol roads they have to move cargo. Well, duh, what does that tell you? I brought that up last night on my program. Yeah, so it's like, hmm, they're right off the bat, that should tell us something. Anyway, the tie-in with this is the latest thing at Fox News. Do we have any information on the time when this Fox News piece came up on the air? And have they repeated it more than once about this possible executive order for the illegals? No, I don't. I haven't seen that one yet. I've heard folks talking about it earlier and I haven't got to that yet. That's one of the things I think, guys, we really need to focus on. I'd like to see, in fact, let's check the White House out. Apparently, other people are talking about it. They could not have been doing this in a vacuum. There may even be a public notice about it. If there is, that won't be a surprise. One of the things to remember, and I'm going to repeat this, everybody in the Patriot movement knows We want Obama arrested. Repeat, we want him arrested. See, what I think is going to happen here is they're desperately trying to stir the pot under the logic that somehow they can play the Caesar and Mark Anthony game. And we all know who would be in charge why the kosher mafia demon himself, you know, Darth Biden. So if Darth Biden gets rid of Darth Osama Bama Ding Dong through his Jewish Mafia Mossad connections inside the system, and the Mossad bumps off Osama Bama Ding Dong, they're going to try to blame everybody else that they can, guys. It was him! It was him! But it won't. They'll try. In fact, they'll do it as they've always done. They'll try to find and point at anybody else that they possibly can. My argument on this is these characters are far more valuable to be arrested and then to be convinced that they need to tell everybody about what it is they've been doing. Which is typically why again, you know, good old Bernie Madoff, he had a... WAAAAAAHHH attack of heart! And it was Weekend at Bernie's Part 3. Think about it. I don't know if anybody caught this. The latest thing is another $9 billion they think that was just waddling around out there that good old Bernie had hidden. But apparently by following one link to the next, because they're looking for money to pilfer, you got to remember that the agents are motivated because they get 10% of whatever they're able to steal, guys. So they're wandering through all these different accounts and lo and behold they found another $9 billion laying around somewhere. Wha? Wow! That might be a fishing expedition. Yeah, from a dead guy. The only, the two that I found, right as soon as you said that I started typing in to Scroogle. And the only thing I can find is rumors. It says rumors of this. Amid the buzz that President Obama may be speaking to parole or defer action to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S., eight republicans are warning the president not to advance any such plan. Well, that's a flag right there. What that means is, what I tell you Spike, typically in the past, remember This would go to the Senate and would be reviewed for vote. And typically they rubber stamp it. But before they do this, they have to get an actuating number. They have to idea it. They have to idea it. They're going to have to have the GPO. This is where we have to remember there's a system. And everybody's watching the railroad nowadays. They're watching the rails. Before the train shows up, there's a lot of rattling that goes on. And one of the things is the GPO, Government Printing Office, has to generate their official copies for review by the Congress. So I would be willing to bet that it's much farther along, just the reverse. I would say that he's already got it structured. They're trying to figure out how to drop that foot. You know, one foot's hit the ground, now the other one's going to smack down. And the problem they've got is everybody saying, oh no, no, no, no, no, don't do this because you see, you know, there are certain things we've done with the executive orders that we'll allow, but there's other things that just aren't going to happen. So if they decide to fight this, if they decide to resist it, it's going to be interesting to see exactly what it is that they, how they plug it in as far as making noise. And whether or not for a change, I mean it would be very interesting. So far, they've been right on the edge where they've either could filibuster or they could flat out vote it down. One of the things to consider is, as we've talked about this before, remember, like the treaty nonsense, what they'll do is they'll wait till there are four people in the room and then all of a sudden pass it and it'll be a majority. That is, or three. That's not a quorum, is it Mark? Four people? No, it would make sense that they could, yeah, the quorum slash forum, as forum is in Roman maybe. Or four of them. Maybe that's what we missed. It's four of them. I think that's why they do four. Yeah, there you go. But anyway, the... It's for mispronouncing it. Yeah, it's four of them. Anyway, the interesting thing about this twist is if that were to move into place, that's probably going to be one of the last straws right there. A lot of people already can see the writing on the wall of what's going to happen here with the arms treaty. There's no doubt that they're motivating the foreign troops into Mexico, and there's been some other discussion from other directions on that as far as how far they're going. Well, what's actually transpiring with it? We'll see what happens here, guys. I don't know that things are going to be as stable as the bad guys would hope from that direction. The other thing we have to look at is, remember, pickle smoke and mirrors. We've got the BS with the US Navy cooperating, which means whoever's involved in the naval aspect of what's going on over there in the Mediterranean, Jewish mafia. That's what we need to watch. Look to see who the command people are. Old Jewish mafia, deep inside the system, pulled forward for this particular task, is most likely the case. They're going to be some of the deep sleepers. and they're going to be stunks in that they are going to pull certain triggers they're not supposed to. Mark my word on this. Watch to see what happens. Let's put it this way. Let me ask you a basic question. For all the noise about the liberty being damaged and being attacked, there was an aircraft carrier group there, an aircraft that had been launched. Obviously, the admiral who could have done a Star Trek thing and said, signal communications was garbled, please have Washington repeat that order and Radiuman repeat it three times because we're having a hard time sending it out too, aren't we? Yeah, see how that could have been carpet did with the in-town landing right? I don't know yeah, I don't know I can you repeat that we're having sunspot problems or something It looks really bad here. I Repeat over You know, that would be the way to do it, but instead, oh no, he had no problem calling the planes back and letting the Israelis continue to murder. This is the officer in charge of the fleet group on the ground. So right off the bat, the Shai'estir betrayed the men of the Navy and betrayed the country. Right there. So there's an example of one of the sleepers, one of the suck-ups. Because otherwise, an American ship being attacked The naval presence, everybody knew about it, as has been found out eventually, even the air intelligence aircraft above were monitoring and knew exactly what was going on, people. Every step of the way. So, this situation right now, it's like the border. Is this thing happening, Spike, in a vacuum with regard to what took place, or is taking place down there in Arizona? All of a sudden everybody discovering it? Well, no, that's the blinders. They threw your head a different way and slapped the blinders back on and said, it just looked this way. They knocked into the man behind the curtains. Yeah, the Patriot Movement has been talking about this every step of the way. and everybody out there knows about it. By the way, go to Southern Perversion Law to their website and look at what those traders are saying. Well, they're not traders. They work for foreign power anyway. The ADL, same scam people, know your enemies. Who is it that's tearing down the borders while telling everybody about this scam sham war on terror BS? It is a war against the American people by the shysters that have infiltrated into our government. That's it. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday, by the way, I know. And again, there's a bunch of things happening that are happening right now. The shift in command, well, actually there were two or three like this at the end of Vietnam as things fell apart, only because, again, a lot of people didn't want to be there to pull the door shut. It's kind of like a custodial ship position, too. So another thing to think about, Spike, is betray us. Mr. B, I won't say P, Mr. B, probably in the right place. I mean, it's hard for him to screw up collapsing the tent. If need be, he'll just hook the rope to the back of his Humvee, his command Humvee, or his command helicopter, and as he's taken off, pull it right off from underneath the troops, or pull it over the troops behind him, leaving them high and dry, of course. He would never problem with that. He would be right in line with his kind of job, his kind of position. Another thing on the border here, guys, battlefield superiority. I know a lot of you are using what you can or what you have already, but if and without putting yourselves at risk, I'm going to point this out, this is something that if you change up weapon systems and you are not training or properly familiar with that weapon system, Then you had best practice, practice, practice, practice both before deployment, during the deployment orientation phase, and then constantly be reviewing your weapon system all the while you are deployed. if you're gonna change up on weapon systems. Otherwise, even though we've talked about main battle rifles and some of you may think, well man I've been training with the AR-15 but now I'm gonna be out there in the desert, I'll pick fill in the blank or you go out and you buy a brand new rifle just for that purpose. Well, that brand new rifle out of the box, unless it's been field tested, you're gonna need a little bit of range time just to confirm zero obviously if nothing else and to identify any quirks that may exist just in case. Just because it's brand new out of the box doesn't mean that it necessarily is going to stay online and do what it's supposed to do. Okay? We have to field test the equipment before you are deployed, just as we've talked about with the radio gear. So it's the same with your firearms. If you're already using the existing system and you're very competent with it, you're better off if you're short term. In other words, if you've made a decision, I'm going to go down to Arizona. If you've been heavily training with a certain system, stay with it. Your equipment's already configured, you know where everything is, you've been practicing, practicing, practicing. You don't change at the last moment. You can carry the other weapon system with you and orient yourself to that weapon system. But remember that this is like radio gear, camera equipment, or any technology. If you haven't been working with it and you haven't trained with it and all of a sudden at the last minute you're going to throw yourself into it, then well during that two day trip down to Arizona by vehicle or three depending on where you are, you better be immersing yourself in the manuals for whatever it is you think you're going to be using. and you better be reviewing every aspect of what you have to do with that system be it a weapon, be it radio communications, be it cameras, whatever long before you hit the ground. You know, that's like, oh, wait a minute, I gotta play ketchup, oh, I should've checked. No, that's not how it works. So another thing to consider here, guys, again, you're going into dust, you're going into hot weather, really hot weather. You're gonna have shifts from evening to morning and from afternoon, tonight, where colder temperatures, either from warmer to cooler, or cooler to warmer, condensation. Sounds weird, but condensation becomes an issue. In fact, remember, in those environments, we do what we call a poncho still, a solar still, which can be made quite easily. And it's at what minimal precipitation you have in Arizona, you collect it, and that's drinking water that you can actually put into storage. But again, that's using a poncho. There's a whole technique. We won't go into that right now. But the point is that the same condensation you're collecting under those conditions is also critical with regard to, oh, that's right, weapons maintenance. Rust, water, and oxygen are not your friend when it comes to metal. I don't care if it's aluminum or if it's steel. Guess what? Both oxidize. So make sure that you're doing PM once you get on the ground. Always inspect your weapons. Remember, oh, it's almost a brand new weapon. Or I've kept it pristine, which is true you have, probably. But any place where you have working parts, that typically there's contact and bearing surfaces that have worn away the original finish. They are going to need constant care and you're going to have to pay attention to this. A little bit of condensation and some really nasty, muggy, warm weather shifts and things start to actually weld together on their own if you're not paying attention. So you need to work the actions. You need to make a point of lubricating things or lubricating surfaces. You don't want it sloppy. You want to lubricate and wipe down. depending upon what you're using and that includes greases be very careful about not over applying stuff's going to go over and work into your ammunition we don't need that so anyway spike anything else for us anything else to jump on off the table no sir that's all I have for you today I'll sign out of here and y'all have a good day and God bless oh you don't have to run off if you don't want to that's okay but if you appreciate that thank you sir Oh, no problem. You all have a good day and I'll catch you on the flip side. Thank you. God bless. And we are, oh my goodness, we are... Almost at the bottom of the hour. It's been pretty busy, busy, busy here at this end. We've got a bunch of little things that have had cropped up we're having to take care of right away. I'm satisfied I've got a lot of critical little projects done that have been kind of piling up. The more I use up the stuff, the more I use it or lose it time, guys. Get it up, get it online, plug it in, and make sure it's sorted out. So if you need it, you got it when you have to do something. This is especially true with tools. A lot of guys, we've got like the Boy Scout sale coming up this weekend and you never know what you're going to run into over there. Tools of all kinds from all eras show up and for that reason watch your yard sales. One of the things that I think everybody, a precision, you know, everybody needs if you've got weapons is a precision screwdriver set. Also known as an armorers screwdriver set. These are the right blades for the right screw slot or Phillips or Star. Mostly it will be slot or Phillips. Remember again guys that there is a specific size for a specific cut. And you want to make sure that they are there and that they are, again, you're not creating any surface wear or you're rounding sharp edges down. or over or peening them or whatever, guys. We can't have that. You're going to have a harder time taking it apart the next time. You may not even get it apart the first time if you're not careful. So, you're going to want to make a point of breaking the threads free of the wood or free of the plastic or free of the other metal. When you put them back together, since you've already disassembled the weapon or you are disassembling it, don't forget to lubricate those threads. Now, some people say, well, you should use Loctite in certain things. That's true. There are some things you may want to use Loctite on. Most important, though, is if you use proper torque, After you've disassembled something and you put it back together, if you pay attention to how much energy you've applied, stuff's not going to back off. But the important thing is to have the right tools to do it. So again, watch for precision screwdriver sets, armors, screwdriver sets, and armors, wrench sets would be a very, very preferred thing. There are a number of different universal tools. For instance, for the M16 family and the AR15 family of weapons. If you can, take the time and pick up one. If you have an AR15 or a multiple number of AR15s, The armors tools are a good idea and there are different armors tools. Get one of each. Well, I may not need though. You don't know when you're gonna run into something you have. It's like man I wish I had the right tool for this. Guess what? If you have the universal armors tools and you have one of each you will be able to cover pretty much anything you run into no matter who made it and what era it was built in. There's a lot of m16s out there guys. There's a lot of m16a1s and a lot of m16a2s. In addition, there's also a whole bunch of AR-15 variants. You don't know what you're gonna run into. and the armorers tools allow you, especially if you have parts of this one, pieces of that one left, let's say something's been fragged, where you can disassemble, reassemble, and make them work for you. Now, we're almost at the bottom. I don't think we're going to take a break. Or if we're not going to, okay, we're not going to worry about that. But we are at the bottom. CenterfireSystems.com does have a few decent little buys right now. One of them that is interesting, a lot of guys have been asking about flare launchers. The 26.5 mic mic flare launchers are actually pretty decent little units, but they have a brand new Romanian single-shot rifle variant slash projector. No FFL required. It is the equivalent to the Smith & Wesson 37mm launchers or the M79 grenade launcher. The advantage of this is that if you already have the flares, this gives you a little more accuracy, allows you to aim and be very specific, which is kind of an advantage, especially if you use smoke or if you're using illumination, but behind the target. Okay. There's a number of different tricks that will work really well for you that allow you to take advantage of using the flares, both star cluster, parachute, whatever, in different ways other than the traditional, hey, throw it up over their heads and let's see if we can light up. Another thing that they have totally new here, by the way, at least I haven't seen until today. Nothing had jumped off of the page before. There's a new Romanian I think it's, was it FSL or FLS? I think it's FSL, forgive me, the guys probably have seen this. Go to CenterFireSystems.com, go to the AK family of rifles, they're listed that way, and you will find that there's a new 7.62 by 54R rifle that's out there. It's based on the Dragunov receiver system, type system. However, this thing takes AK-74 type stocks, and you know, and configured that way, and is in 7.62x54 Russian rimmed. That makes it, of course, the problem I see is a 16.5 inch barrel. I wish they'd gone longer. But it's got a 16.5 inch barrel. This uses Dragunov magazines. And there's a number of different variations available. How many? I don't know. You're going to check that out yourself. If you like that cartridge, but you prefer the, rather than the Dragunoff pistol grip system, you prefer a conventional AK system, which there are advantages to. Standard stocks, that way when you lift one rifle, it pretty much feels the same way as the last one. Get my drift, it's like, okay, this feels pretty much stock is the same, foregrip's the same. You close your eyes, everything works. In other words, of course, when you're shooting, you shouldn't be closing your eyes, but you'll find that your muscle memory is identical. The weapon itself looks to be interesting. I don't have anybody screaming or hollering about it yet. For those of you that have the SAGAs, probably it's comparable to the SAGA rifles. It may even be a SAGA system as far as the receiver goes. I haven't seen, but I believe, forgive me, I think the receiver is American. Hit me on the microphone on that one. but otherwise Romanian parts for the most part and perhaps a little Bulgarian mixed in looks like you know import parts so that makes it interesting to say the least and you want to scope it out. Unfortunately it looks like they're on $800. Hey the uh... the PSL is what I think about 500 or less so I don't think I'd be spending $800 on the other one if I can buy the dragon off of the, you know, hey, how much less and get many more, many more mags and a lot more ammo for the money left over. It's just, again, it's an idea. Some of you may find that rifle, it fits a certain niche. The weapon does take the standard rail, so it will take all of the standard scope mounts. That's another thing that's critical. So pay attention there. Now, other things. Didn't see any ammunition exciting, anything exciting in ammo that jumped off. from Centerfire. There are a few interesting things over with classic arms right now. And by the way, let's not forget that mainmilitary.com They still have, I think, two, I guess you guys bought the rest of them, the PTRs that are in 7.62x39 that take the AK-47 magazine. Well, won't be hold. They still have two, in fact the guy said that's all they could see on the shelf, were two of the PTRs in 7.62x39. The cool thing about these, they take standard AK mags, but if you like HKs and are looking for something affordable to shoot, then this is a solution. Now if they've done a 7.62 by 39, I would think that they would be able to easily do a 5.45 by 39. This would be interesting, very interesting to say the least. So we'll find out more about that and see what they come up with. I was, I've still, and again this is kind of stillborn, unfortunately the AR-15 upper receiver, but just bolt action. 4140 chromoly stainless steel upper standard barrel 545x39 system. It would be a great solution. It's the cheapest thing to take for the range. Also make a nice placement rifle to be carrying, making it set up so that it will operate with a lower AR-15 system, but steel receiver pinned into place. Bolt action takes any scope you want. You can have it in a pelican case. You want to go long range or intermediate range. Intermediate to short range and attack, you know, be a tack driver. It could be an H bar, put a flash hider on it, the whole nine yards, such muzzle compensator. And you'd be talking a pretty decent little package, especially in 545 by 39. We'll see, we've got one company right now that is still working on it, but they kind of got sidetracked because they ended up with another big contract from another ally. And the other company is, again, like I said, stillborn, they haven't gone any farther with it. They did do a prototype, but really didn't finish the prototyping project because they too got tied up in production in other areas. So we'll see what comes of this. Should be very interesting to see how it develops. But if you're thinking about it, hey guys, it wouldn't be that hard. for someone to do based on the Mahdi design, an upper AR-15 bolt system in 5.4 x 5.39. More is better, so if somebody else comes up with an idea first, that's perfect. We appreciate that. So other things happening. Well, let's see. One thing I've noticed, and again, We're seeing a general shortage of handguns as far as what's been coming in with the industry. And I haven't had a chance to talk to anybody, but if you notice that certain European guns, or class of guns, have just disappeared, I mean, they're just simply not available. I mean, have they stopped making them? Did they decide America's evil? Don't send them. Could be, of course, devaluation of the American dollar, which means nobody wants to spend their money over there because they're asking way too much in the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro. But for instance, the llamas. Now some llamas have been showing up, but a lot of the llama revolver designs especially, which have been their bread and butter for quite some time, just seem to have dried up. We're just not finding them anywhere. Another one that's rather interesting is the fact that Rossi is out of the picture. Now, did Rossi go out of business? Did I miss something here? I mean, maybe they did. I just maybe slow on the uptake here. That's all. but Rossi has made, and I've talked about these for years, they make a nice little J-frame stainless and they make a nice K-frame stainless. Now the J-frame, they were kind of smart and they went with a poor man's diamond back. A 6-inch barrel or 4-inch barrel. A J-frame, sometimes with a square butt, though typically with a rounded butt. In other words, base of the pistol grip, guys, the base of the pistol grip. and pretty well finished, amazingly enough. Now 38 special stainless steel, heavy barrel in the 6 inch. That is a nice utility gun and it's something comfortable that either a regular full-size male adult could handle without any problem like a fire in a .22 or a great gun for the ladies. They especially like the J-frames. They're a little smaller, they're easier for the hand, they fit the hand comfortably. A lot of guys like them because, again, compactness and they're out of the way. Remember too that the Rossi's are built well enough that plus P's were more than serviceable enough in a Rossi 38. And the plus P's give you 357 Magnum velocities out of a standard 38 special. That's critical. So I'm just asking, maybe somebody's noticed this where the Rossi's go. Most of the Euro pistols in that category are nowhere to be found. You're certainly not being advertised in the shotgun news in any quantity. Another one, Taurus, which, I know, Taurus has gotten into semi-autos more so than anything, but they still are offering revolvers. And they too offered a knockoff of the Model 37. And they were offering, and I think they still are, they're offering these, of course, a little price-year range because they're offering titanium, they're offering aluminum, and they're offering the undercover slash chief special that's hammerless or shrouded anyway. There's two different models. Now those are both good guns, but not essential for what kind of work you guys are doing out there if you're looking for a snake charmer slash personal defense weapon. The little J frames work just fine, but the K, and again I mentioned the K frame several times for a reason, because there's millions, and I'm not exaggerating, some of you are listening probably have a couple of them, at least one, but probably a couple of them in their inventory, K frame revolvers. Now notice I didn't say Smith and Wesson K frames only because that's not the case. Official police. or the troopers. Well the troopers a little bigger, that's actually off the end frame. But the official police model, not the police positive, official police 38 slash also in 357, very popular pistol, very comfortable, very comfortable, easy to shoot, and it's the counterpart, it's the M&P equivalent to the Model 10. Now if you're running into any of these or you've already got them, don't think, oh my goodness, I gotta go on something wrong. These weapons are perfectly serviceable, especially if you inherited something where you've got leather, you've got speed loaders, and you've got speed loader carriers. Hey guys, you're all set. You're in like Flint. The big thing there is to make sure that you maintain the system. Remember you've got to do PM, preventing maintenance with all your firearms. Don't slap the cylinder shut. Don't slap, you know, it does damage to the crane, the working parts, and there's no reason for it. Remember that you're going to firmly operate the weapon, but you're going to control the weapon. It's just a basic rule with revolvers. A lot of guys try to swing them sideways. Well, don't do that either. You know, the centrifugal force, and they just let them latch shut. They bounce, they hit, and they actually counter strike, and that can cause damage if you're not careful. We all know about synchronization with the wheel guns and there's always been a comment, well if you drop it it's possible you'll hurt it. Hey, if you drop an automatic it's possible you'll drop it, you know, hurt it too. Seen a lot of revolvers dropped over the years, pretty much every one that I saw functioned afterwards. Now how well? Well, if you drop it from a five-story building, I don't care if it's a revolver or an automatic, it's not fairing very well when it gets to the other end of the drop. Okay? Clunk, just like you. You won't fair very well with a five-story drop. Your handgun won't either. nor will your rifle. So take that into consideration as you know a lot of the the angst that's been created about maintenance on revolvers it's not as difficult as you would think. One nice thing about a revolver is it's a positive shoot. If you pull the trigger and something doesn't go off, especially since most revolvers out there double action, pull the trigger again. Don't worry about it. Don't pull the hammer back and cock it. Pull the trigger again. Plug and play, plug and play, plug and play. That's how it works. Easy to remember anyway. Now, we are getting there, we still got a little bit of time. What else did I have? I had a couple of things here I wanted to cover. I don't think we'll have time for the one. But, another thing about those Model 10s, leather and material support laying around. HSK Speedloader is my preference, that doesn't mean they're the only thing I've got. Sierra, Safari, Even Colt and Smith & Wesson produced or had knockoffs made. Either they produced their own variation in design or they had knockoffs made of the HSK Speedloader made by HSK. So if you wanted the Speedloaders for those revolvers, grab all that you can. Typically you'll find Cop Shop Speedloaders that are piled up in mass and they're simple and easy to stockpile and put in place. So there's a solution. Speed loaders, speed loaders, and more speed loaders. Just like mags. More mags. And more mags. And by the way, did you buy more mags? Good. Buy some more. Wouldn't hurt. Now, switching back, oh that was right, I wanted to ask what I wanted. Centerfire Systems has got something interesting right now. They've got the German body armor, Flektar, for a pretty good price. About $40 I think of vest. So that's not bad. But the other thing they've got is some regular cop armor guys, regular police undercover slash, you know, uh, reinforced armor. Now it might be level two, might be level two, three, most likely. But one of the things to consider without spending as much money, in other words, without spending three, four, five, or seven hundred dollars, if you're gonna do that, then you spend five hundred dollars on the gas mask, the guy that doesn't know anything about gas masks, can tell everybody, you know, don't buy anything but his. Uh, you end up with eleven hundred dollars and you really haven't gone very far, okay? The reason I say this is because we have to balance things out. When you have a whole long list of things you gotta take care of, you're gonna have to compromise a little bit temporarily and then upgrade as you go. Nice thing is, you still have more equipment for other people, you can start to build up your 510 program, etc. Well, One of the interesting things that they have at Centerfire is they have this undercover vest for about a, I think, 119, more or less cheaper they are. And they have, which is, by the way you'll see it, there's a good picture of the vest. It's a standard police service vest. Look at the color. County deputy kind of, actually. Looks like it's in the earth brown, but in the medium brown tan color, so that's pretty decent. And then they have the Flektar Camouflage Combat Vest. Well guess what? For $150 basically what you're doing is you've got the undercover vest, put the other vest over you, and you pretty much have the core of your body covered with some form of flax slash Kevlar up to light rifle combination on your carcass. Now consider that for the price, especially if you're looking at this, now be hot or the weather, the More is gonna play on you guys. Don't make any mistake about that. I'm gonna tell you right out if you're thinking you're gonna wear it down the desert Well, it's like when I was looking at some of the gear the guys were you know putting out there and laying out for Operations had some great gear, but it was all black. Okay. It was black Web gear but also black body armor guys That's Arizona. Oooooo. If at all possible, if the girls can do this for you, see if they can do a cotton overlay, you know, something you can, you know, spread over everything. Yeah, I know you can put a white cotton t-shirt over top, everything anyway. But you may want to make your own shell or have another shell made in a lighter color that's going to afford at least a little more reflection of the heat. Black in that environment is like a, is a calorie sucker. It's like, whooooooo. We're bringing in the heat big time and burning all your minerals right out of you. Oh you will be sweating, so Let's try to avoid the really really dark colors there if at all possible sometimes you can't help it even when I'm talking about the web gear such as the holsters and the a lot of the speed loader carriers a Lot of the speed loader carriers are black they did offer some in brown and look at dark nylon brown But most of them are black they might be leather. They'll be black they might be canvas or nylon. They'll be black Black first and then the other colors come in second. So shop around. If you're lucky, hey, you might find some that are woodland cam or whatever. That's great. Whatever you can find, whatever makes it, use it. A little trick about that too, remember the speed loaders only sit a certain way as far as how they're loaded up. Oh, there are top and bottom feed loader systems just like there used to be dump cargo points for ammunition in six round increments. Remember you had a snap on the top, you put them in, pop the snap on the bottom, pop the snap on the top, push the rounds through while you're catching with your thumb, while you're catching with your fingers. You got all six rounds and dump the revolver and dump the brass, change, and reload, clunk, and pop, pop, pop, pop. Okay? So with these particular combinations, remember especially with the speed loaders, Try to come up with a system and identify whether or not it's going to be comfortable for you before you actually embrace something. See whether or not it'll work. Certain systems work better than others. Certain systems will be preferred or you'll prefer them. Let's see what we can do to figure out what'll work best. On handguns, another thing here is shoulder stocks. Now you don't want to shoulder stock on the weapon officially because that's evil and bad But there's a whole bunch of weapons out there if you got Lugers they take shoulder stocks if you've got a broom handle Mauser takes a shoulder stock if you got an English Canadian high power burning high power some of them remain communist China or we're you know supposedly captured from the Communist Chinese or bought from them. There were a lot they were picked up and sold to Canada during World War II, or from Canada to the Chinese during World War II. There are some 45 shoulder stocks. They are claimed to be Lebanese. They're not. They're US Special Forces. They were built under contract during the Vietnam period. We used them for the longest time and I can prove that to you by showing you. In fact, we'll do that next day or two here, but it's not this weapons Wednesday. If you go to the Special Forces manuals for radio codes, you'll find listed a 1911 AE-1s along with so many mags and five pistols, so many mags, so much ammo, and five shoulder stocks. Hey, wait a minute, how's that possible? Well, that's just the way they were built, guys. The Chinese communists used shoulder stocks on all of their pistols. They did not really embrace it with the tow crib, but it was experimented with. Another one that was used both by the communist Chinese and by the communist Russians is the Stenkin. Now the Stenkin and many weapons like it will be found with shoulder stocks, but that also is a select fire pistol. If you see these in the field, the bad guys that are nearby, if you found a select fire or shoulder stock pistol, they're probably special secret police units. One of the ways to identify the enemy is by the weapon systems you're going to be finding on their corpses when the time comes. Not only, you know, as much as anything else. I mean, I have any other ID. I mean, I don't even have an ID tag. But the weapons will be a dead ringer along with equipment that they're wearing and using. Think before you strip. Make sure that you ID what's come off what body and why. Now we're oh my goodness we're running out of time here. I better make sure I do this well I'll tell you what it is the already the middle of the week it is the 23rd guys and we have an event coming up here from the 2nd through the 4th which is a Big band event we've got Johnny Philco poker face Yaw Kings dead ahead Jamboat and many more who will be showing up for the concert of the century Okay, well least concert for this year It'll be a lot of fun because it's in Ohio. This will be a family friendly festival, so bring the kids and family. Free camping, free vending, 17953 Baird Road, Wellington, Ohio, 44090. Again, that's 17953 Baird Road. Wellington, Ohio, 44090. It's Sammy's Place. Sammy's Place. Baird's Stage is also the other name for the site. The venue has a nice covered stage and a separate mixing platform. along with plenty of room for camping and campfires. Ooh, that means you can have some fun there. Burning the staff. Wait a minute, no, it says there's great staff here. This is also a family-friendly event, so please bring the family. This festival will run from July 2nd until July 4th, 2010, and will be an annual event, provided we hold together. Hopefully we will. One way or another, guys, this is the beginning of a tradition. Now, bring any supplies that you will need, in fact more is better, and also vendors will be on hand for food and drink. And of course also for polls for, let's see, I think we can dunk in the pond. This is a pond here. We can dunk the news media in the pond and see whether or not they float. They might be ducks, or is that wood? Well, either way, I watched Monty Python. I remember it's a way to check for witches, especially media witches. Anyway, donations, $10 per adult, children are free. That means you've got an easy way to get in there. It's free for the kids. Of course, everybody can claim to be a kid. We've got a child, we've got to know what the cutoff on that is too. I still haven't asked the guys, we'll have to find out. Go to www.pokerface.com for more information. That's www.pokerface.com or www.johnnyfilco.com. Again, visit johnnyfilco.com. dot org but i believe that that site will redirected to their facebook page now okay www a china filter sorry that was a book about my space that's interesting dot o r g all k very good well anyway i'll see it's good thing we checked on that again cuz i know i wrote it down incorrectly then there um... here i want to make sure we uh... got this incomplete we've got some friends will probably be visiting tomorrow with a may have a guest maron here we'll see what happens at this hour If anybody has any questions or any suggestions with regard to the deployment, go ahead and give us a ring. Of course we are late now we're here, but 218-844-8060. The code then is 437-9296 in the pound sign. Again, that's 218. 844-806-0 and the code number is 437-9296 and then the bound sign. Give us a ring, we'll let you know what's going on from the other direction. Or if you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to pass them on to the troops. It's already helped quite a bit. We had a unit that was headed out from, I understand, Iowa. and the guys in Nebraska, or at least one of the units in Nebraska, made contact, gave them a few notes about their last experience down there, kind of changed the guys' attitudes about certain things and they upgraded very, very quickly, so this is good. Also, remember, a lot of you guys that are in the plain states, hey, you've already seen dry. We know what it's like out there. You're in the great grasslands, flat, not a whole lot of trees, very impressive. Well, for that reason, It's pretty close to the environment. It gets hot, it gets miserable out there. Just because there are wild animals like Bufalo or whatever that were roaming the plains doesn't mean there was water readily available. They followed the water routes or they knew where the water was, but they didn't always stay on the river route to begin with. So it might behoove you to pay attention to the river grid and see about using that for a percentage of your trip. That would be rather interesting. If you are going to be participant in a couple of exercises that are coming up here in the next week, they're going to be on the Mississippi, the River Mississippi River Rats out of the state of Mississippi, and some of our friends in southern Illinois will be participant too. It's going to be kind of interesting to see how that works out. they are going to be taking full advantage of river transportation operations. Now, amazingly enough, here's the other thing. There are rivers down in Arizona, contrary to what you might think. You mean there's lakes? Yes. And people fish? Yes. And it's wet? No. Not very. In fact, you start drying the moment you hit the air, guys. It's like, whoosh, and starting to suck from your body immediately. So don't be surprised, because that's going to happen. New stuff otherwise, I want to make sure that we got this last one touched on here. I did not see, though we've heard that Caltech has got a new weapon out and what I think by the discussions I had with someone is that they didn't realize that the Su-16 is being done in about six configurations now. The original is was a light rifle actually quite compact still is but they've done some work with the stocks they've created a whole bunch of different picatinny combinations for the real different rails here they're up down left right all over the clock all over the stock And then some still folds, but again, a little different latch system for the stock itself as far as how it holds the stock, how it retains a magazine or two of their own factory mags, depending on the configuration. A really interesting rifle. For those of you who are looking for something lightweight that offers minimal recoil, the SU-16 is an excellent choice. If you look at the variations through the websites for Caltech, KEL-TEC, KEL-TEC. Go ahead and give them a ring, ask about their systems, what it is that they have available, figure out what it is that might be useful for you, and then make a point of plugging in and see if you can acquire one. We saw a lot of these rifles, a lot of these SU-16s flying off the shelf at the gun shows this last couple of weekends. I don't know how many they got, but apparently somebody made a deal and got some somewhere. A little stack of seven of them went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom in less than 40 minutes. I should tell you something. And people find out about them. Now, it's an interesting rifle. It is unique in some ways, but it does take standard AR-15 magazines. Standard .223. That's a plus, guys. That means your ammunition issue is not going to be anything strange if you've already got .223s in service. One of the advantages of this rifle, if you're carrying a A 50 barrett or a 50 caliber of any kind is sling that SU-16 over your shoulder and a rig in the backpack. And if you need it, all you do is reach over your shoulder, pull it forward, pop out the stock, and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, got yourself a light carbine that's ready to rock and roll. Again, comparable to any of the firearms that are presently in service. That's not bad at all. In fact, that's a pretty good deal in general. I think we're good. We have a couple more people that are probably going to be calling. Oh, it looks like no, we're almost at the top of the hour anyway. In fact, we are at the top of the hour, forgive me. We've got about two minutes. Well, we're at the top, just about at this point. If you haven't, I'll remind everybody again, 877-606-080179. Again, 877-608-08. 0179. That's for mainmilitary.com. If you're going down to the border, take your gas mask. It doesn't make any difference with that. You carry it. Take your gas mask. I was thinking about this today. If you need a better carrier or a different carrier, you want something that's more Americanized for your M10. A lot of guys have the M10s in service. There's with your carrying. Guys, switch over to the M17 gas mask bag. You'll like it. It works well. It's convenient. It's designed to accommodate the M17 superbly. And it'll work just fine with your M10M.

This is Craig, sitting to a show called Forbidden Knowledge. You're broadcasting live if you're listening and watching on June 23rd. We are live. I'm sure I'm still hearing music. I think I'm on. We've got, uh, we've got a live show. I don't know what we're gonna be doing talking about today. Let me get some, I've gotta get some, I'm doing two different things at once here folks. We're doing, we're broadcasting on live 365 Liberty Tree Radio and we're also live audio, video streaming on ustream.com and you can be seen ustream.com, that's u-s-t-r-e-a-m.com and you go to Forbidden Knowledge and you can pick up the video feed. You can see what this guy looks like. Adjust the camera here. And as you can see, if you're watching, we are in a car, a location, and a secret location somewhere in the United States. We are quite a ways from my normal home. It's going to be an interesting thing today. We're doing live shows on the road, probably all summer, because of a business I'm starting. And I'll probably reveal that here some day, some soon. But for now, we are just broadcasting wherever we happen to be at the time. I'm sorry for those of you who tried to listen in last week. There was a problem with the I couldn't get a connection. I'm relying on a wireless internet connection here. And the place where I did the broadcast from the previous week, I went to thinking I was going to be able to do it again and I just couldn't get a good connection. And it wasn't enough time to scramble and find another place to broadcast from. So what I did was I spent a lot of time scouting out the area where I may be doing the next broadcast from. And so that's what we're doing right now. We're broadcasting from another location near the same area where I was last week. So I'm sorry for those of you who tried to watch the show or listen to the show last week and couldn't get on. Okay, we are on live, so you will be able to call in if you're listening on live 365. You will be able to call in as usual and hopefully Ed or somebody will put the number on the chat room because I don't
