Live 365 But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? and on stop. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the afternoon intelligence report. I am Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Central, west, southeast and southwest. Well ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, PBN.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. 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, a chunk of Nebraska, and a whole third, the third of Wyoming. We are also in Iowa slash Iowa and our friends there with the micro broadcasting systems across the whole of the state. We appreciate and thank you the work that you're doing and for carrying Liberty Tree radio. Also, across the Blue Ridge, that's right, the Blue Ridge Mountains, we have the Golden Spike Project, competition, hacking and chopping rules, horrific battles, battle axes, broadswords, cleaving, Okay, maybe not. In reality, it's a friendly competition where all of our people are working together. Duh! And so for that reason, we're doing pretty darn good. I want to say thank you to all the guys and gals here at the restaurant crew, the grandma teams, and the OK teams. You're doing a fantastic job. Thank you. We appreciate it. It is a beautiful day out. It's a little cloudy now, but it was blue skies most of the day here at the bottom of Michigan. Cool-er, but still warm. And it is the 29th of June. It is the second year of Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. And that is the 2010 date by Old Earth Calendar. I've been pretty busy in general. I want to say thank you again to all of our friends who have been helping with signal communications. We had a general ham field. It takes place every year. We're not the ones who run it, but we had a lot of people participating, and everybody did a great job. So we want to say thank you there. Do as the natives do. When you're in that particular arena, Listen for a while. Pay attention to how people operate. You'll notice how the courtesy of the radio works. And you get a chance to understand how people function and actually function quite well together. It was a record event. They had a lot of young people who participated for the first time. And I think they had a lot of fun. Also a lot of just new operators. You may be 60 years old, but you may be a new ham operator, a new radio operator, and whatever freak. that you're operating in because some were, eh, didn't have quite the bandwidth that others have. They couldn't go up and down the scale, but everybody did their part. Everybody helped to light the network up, and we pretty well covered the country. Congratulations and thank you. We appreciate the work done there by the people who are both in the Patriot Movement and those who are not because they're all part of the emergency radio grid. That's for our benefit the bad guys the system is going to shut themselves down or they're going to break stuff and we're going to have to fix it to do that we have to have the tools in place I could care less what happens to them considering most of them you know as far as what they're doing because it's been done intentionally and a lot of people have let it happen we did too so we have to worry and we have to admit that we're partially deploying for that too guys don't forget anyway Things happening here. Let's see we have Mr. Melrose I'm sorry, Melroy, we need to have you contact the 6th Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marines. Mr. Melroy, if you would please, that came in. And that's for the 6th RCT. and this notice is going out right now at 6.09 p.m. Eastern Time on LTR. So for Mr. Melroy, if you would, please contact 6RCT command group. You've got some activity in your area that needs to be dealt with and we've got a project coming up. Also for NH with the Iowa militia. Again, we want to remind you that NH, you have contact needs to be made with the home group right now. Apparently there are some transportation problems and I believe that needs to be taken care of. So we've got that out of the way. Oh, another thing here. Again for Sergeant Harris, I want to say thank you, appreciate the footage and the filming that was done for the Battle for the Republic series. That work is in the can. We have that in hand now. Thank you very much. The 114s and the Victor 2 class. You're going to see this pretty soon. It's a reincarnation of the M114 with all the goodies attached and everything the way it's supposed to be and some upgrades for the sake of cross-country capability. So again, Sergeant Harris, we want to say thank you very much. We appreciate your assistance there. And next, let's make sure we get this up again. Way down on the border with Arizona, guys, the troops are deploying. They have been deploying. There hasn't been anything changing there. The Arizona militia has stayed in the fight all through the time when a lot of other people have hemmed and hawed. Even the ranchers association which completely failed the Minuteman program they didn't do their part out of the blue they've discovered that hey they're right now a free target on the range down there in Arizona now with the death of this one rancher so now they're talking about how they need to do something well you know what they should have been working with all those other people and with everybody working together the whole problem would have been stomped flat But some people decided as long as their ox wasn't gored or at least their membership wasn't shot dead That'd be okay if they were killing other people guess that didn't work did it? Anyway for all of our other friends down there in Arizona, you know what Ed I just remembered something and we've been We don't know the price of them yet, but we are going to be offering three of those modems that came out of the police cars. These are brand new. They were in storage. They just upgraded their inventory for replacement parts. So they were obsolete and they were getting rid of them and a bunch of our guys got a hold of them. There are internet modems for... they were designed for police cars, but you can't get them activated to use for private use. They have built-in GPS That's one of the biggest problems that our guys have with them, you know, right? Why we want to be able to disable the GPS there are guys who are working on that But the ones that we have are it complete with the GPS intact? We don't have as soon as we get the information we'll get it up there But we are going to be offering them on probably since we got the eBay account back I'll probably be putting them on eBay So we'll be offering that up as a way to raise funds for Liberty Tree Radio soon. And again, these are totally mobile, very, very compact. If you are not familiar with them, this is what is tied into the 900 MEG system across the state of Michigan. Actually, I think these are 800. Well, they're at 800, 900. The 900 MEG is what the state police use. The 800 MEG and 900 MEG are used by the locals and the counties. In this case, guys, these are very desirable. If you have not seen them, you're not going to be... Don't expect suitcase size. They're not that big. We're talking about the size of a CB radio, basically, is what you're looking at here. So very compact, very easily mounted in a system as part of a rat rig. For everybody out there that's curious, in fact, we have one right here. We're going to put up on the air for you real quick. Hey, I can do this, although I still have to put it next to the microphone. The bottom line is, whoops, there we go. As you can see, there's the whole fixture. Right there. Oh yeah, there we go. We killed that. And anyway, let's hope we didn't lose it. There we go. There we don't know that's not the point. There we go. A picture where we can see it. Okay, there we are. Not worried about that. Right, we can bounce these things off a wall. That's the point. Okay, everybody see that? That's the fixture. You see how big my fingers are here? Does everybody see how not big they are? There ya go. See, my fingers are for scale. There we are now. So anyway, we have several of these. That's not the way to do this on the air. That was totally uh... That was, yeah, no, that was like impromptu. But yeah, we did get permission from the guys who actually own them that we can sell a few of them for raising funds for Liberty Tree Radio. And so those again are already on site and I know we got a couple people going when when I know at least one person right off the bat who's listening going when soon soon. And anyway the that's where we that's one of the examples of where we use the alternate and how we've been able to hook the alternate up because of out-of-the-box technology guys that is readily available and can be adapted to other programming. also can be adapted to create subnets. We don't care whether or not they shut the big net off if we have a whole pile of sub pods that can be linked from a dozen different directions at once. Let me ask you something here real quick. Are any of you familiar with how the old phone exchange system actually worked? How telephone exchanges worked and what they did? You know, you didn't have one big Bell company. You had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of little phone companies all over the country. And they were quite successful. In fact, the other nice thing is, hey, Detroit might go offline, but guess what? We didn't. One of the reasons, no centralization, no possibility of being able to tighten and cut off one area and choke everything down. The neat thing is that in many cases these little companies had their own power supplies, had their own generator systems. We're completely independent on the grid by themselves, so they actually were able to take care of their own needs, service their clients effectively, and everybody was happy. Well, start thinking that way with everything we're doing. Doesn't mean we can't link up and connect. In fact, we'll be stronger. You aren't going to be able to hit a switch. Let's go back here. Let's take the Wayback Machine. Let's talk about centralization and a main control switch. Most people don't realize this, but over on the corner of Wagner Road in Liberty, right here in Michigan, right just on the west side of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is the control hub for pretty much the Midwest. Now, with some of our people we just drove by the other day, the site, some of you have seen now the casual barbed wire fence, so to speak. What it is is a classic peasant fence, anti-peasant fence. Before, there was no security around the site. Now, they did have seismic intrusion. We know all the tests the security had on site. And they had cameras. They've had cameras before anybody else did. But it was a sensitive location, and it's considered to have strategic importance on the list of things that would be attacked by the foreign powers if they were to, you know, attack America. In this case, they did upgrade by putting a steel fence all the way around and it looks at first like, oh, it's just a steel bar fence. Except they have these tines that come out like this and they're sharpened to a point. No way! Yes way! And actually, even when people look at them, they're like, oh, it's just a steel fence. I said, really? Take a close look at what you're driving by here and as you look you'll notice it's like there's this curl that comes up and on the end is this fingernail talon. that is sharpie pointy pokey and designed to keep you off their fancy. You get my drift? Anyway, just little things to pay attention to. Well, that is probably one of the places where they hit the switch to create that blackout, remember? That hit all of the eastern seaboard. Purely a mystery. How could this have happened? It's real easy. Somebody walked up and went, uh, that one. Click! And when they hit the clicky clicky thing, everyone went, meeee, just like the lost in space robot, down, down, down. Well, by having the alternate system in place and the the hallmark systems in place By the way little hint there you want to experiment ethernet cards are one of the solutions and ethernet system Guys your school has an ethernet system. How many hubs how many different how many different machines are on that that pod that you know the pod you might operate out of How many make up the whole hub is it hundreds? Is it perhaps, depending on if your school has been completely electrified, is it thousands? You and I both know that it's between hundreds and thousands depending upon your facility. Now guess what? You can completely talk within that Ethernet ring without leaving the facility. Now since you can do that and consider the throw weight that you have between how many PCs How big is the drive you've got how many drives do you have how much energy have you applied to the system? I'm gonna I'm giving you some little hints here about how we have set up whole villages and towns now Completely free-standing all of you can do this and by the way it can be copper wire It can be wireless. Can I give you a hint? I would do copper wire fiber optic and I would do a wireless. That way, if one goes offline, the other one is still there. And remember, prioritize your systems based upon threat level and susceptibility to damage. From an EMP perspective, the fiber optic is the least likely to be damaged. Wireless is, of course, depends on how you harden the transmitters. And copper wire, well, depending on whether that's above ground or below ground, and how well you shield that and ground other systems, determines how much energy with the EMP pulse and, of course, where you are in proximity to the weapon. Here's a consideration. If you're not anywhere near a nuclear device, and nuclear devices set off at altitude and you've already shielded most everything. Plus you breaker, everything's breakred, everything's fusible linked. A local community with its own copper wire internet system separate from the phone system, separate from the internet, separate from the cable, which is very easily done guys. Very easily done. would virtually be would be Already pre armored because it's not going to be locked into the rest of the grid But on top of that you personally have the ability to implement all of the safeguards that the system has failed to put in place except for their own systems You see how that works? so when you're all when it's all said and done everything goes and flash and and let's say that a lot of people are still standing afterwards, which will be the case. He who has the forethought to create smaller systems that are already in place has the ability to win. Now, anybody who says, oh, but it'll be the end of the world, we're all gonna die. Well, then give me your goodies, since it's the end of the world, you're all gonna die in the nuclear blast, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or sign it away now so that I can have it later. Because if you're wrong, and I know you are, then I get to have the stuff to work with and we'll have people that have a positive can-do attitude to get the job done. How's that sound? If you're right, well you can all gripe together while we're heading towards Heaven's Gate and when they select and pick which direction you're headed in, well congratulations, you can say I told you so for whatever reason. Either way, guess what? We're going to keep planning for the future and we're going to fight for the future. We're going to win. That's our goal. That is the way you have to think. Anything else is failure mode. Okay? So, any of these little solutions, or many of these solutions, are bargain basement over-the-counter. We brought this up. There are so many different sources where you're talking pennies on the dollar. Not even pennies. You're talking pennies on the tens or hundreds of dollars from what it used to be. In other words, this stuff was top end, expensive. Now, of course, you're two or three generations beyond. You got micro, micro, micro tech that's so small that you can't even see half of it. But of course, also, it's fried in a heartbeat. And all it takes is, ah, you broke my, you squashed. Yeah, oh look, I could do it with one finger. Oh, you're out of business. Meanwhile, my clunky, junky, heavy hardware, which is ruggedized, is already set to go. See, their logic is that, well, I had a whole pepper box full of these things. Yeah, you did. And guess what? Yours weren't very well hardened anyway and the factory that you thought you were going to get replacements from doesn't exist anymore. It's dust at about 80,000 feet coming down this fallout in the next week and a half to, you know, well anywhere from 24 hours to week and a half depending on how far down range you are from it. So the factory you thought that was going to provide you with more of your micro widgets that nobody knows how to replace or rebuild, they're gone. On the other hand, by doing what we've done, we have created backups to backups to backups. We're not going into the Stone Age. We're not going into the Stone Age at all. And in fact, we've also preserved all the hardware and other technologies to continue to build and the working knowledge to make it. This microphone right here that I'm pointing at for you guys that are on Ustream, guys, this thing can be built from scratch. Do you know some of the materials? In fact, originally, do a little research. Do you know that the majority of what made up, for instance, the original microphones was all off-the-shelf, original, organic material? I'm not talking about corn syrup and making soybeans and making phenolic plastic. I'm talking about going back to where, for instance, mica And many other minerals, naturally occurring minerals, were used to make all of this technology in its simplest form. The convenience and the ability to mass produce through synthesis is what's allowed us to have so much more fun with so many more goodies. But let me point something out. Hear this? That's another microphone. Hear this? That's the one I have in front of me. Well, listen to this. Hold on a second. Let me show you something. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! Look, it's dinosaurs by all microphones! Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! There you go, went by the camera again. By the way, let me show you. There you go. Wow! And this is old. This is as old as I am. Dude! And it would work just as well as the one that's here right now. But by the way, If you talk about rugged here, this sucker is woo. This is like wow man, and it's stainless too cool anyway Technology oh by the way, this is a dynamite dino microphone and we have many many others like it. Why? Backups to backups to backups. That's how you have to think. Somebody else wants to toss it out, you don't argue with them anymore. I don't try to fix other people's problems like that where they decide they want to get stupid or goofy. Just a reverse. If they're not thinking ahead, we need it because we are. Okay, that's the attitude. Some people want to give up the ghost. Hey, help them along kids. I'm not going to be... The dead weight issue isn't going to make it. People are going to have to be pulling their own weight. and they're going to have to get self-motivated real quick here. That's how it's going to have to work. There are a lot of good people doing a lot of work and I want to get back on this real quick by the way, but I wanted to touch on the idea of the technology. How can we make it work? We do have some things here they're going to be assisting. We've already got the technology piled like cordwood, guys, and we're trying to spread it out to make sure it's where it is going to be more useful in general. All your eggs in one basket isn't the way to do things and we know that from experience. Anyway, What's happening down on the border? Well, the guys are deploying. We're going to have Unit Commander, a Unit Commander meeting down there on the coast. It is the coast. It's a wave of aliens coming across the border trying to screw America. But down on the border, our friends are going to be meeting with other militia units that are going down there to do an overview in preparation for the fall deployment and other deployments they'll be participating in. If you would like to donate, Well, first of all, if you'd like to find out more, let's go top to bottom. If you'd like to find out more, you can go to arizonamalisha.com arizonamalisha.com arizonamalisha.com arizonamalisha.com If you would like to email them. to either offer resources, to be able to contact and talk about being part of the manpower and rotational manpower going down to the border to deploy. Arizona Militia at hushmail.com Arizona Militia at hushmail.com Arizona Militia at hushmail.com arizonamalicia.com Maybe you got paper clips, maybe you have a paper route and you've got bags of rubber bands. Those are actually priceless in the field. Rubber bands are truly underestimated as a useful tool for a lot of work that needs to be done, especially if you're improvising, adapting, and overcoming, or just trying to keep things from getting away from you. You're going to have wind down there, you're going to have rain down there. Rubber bands come in as a tool for any number of different projects, some of which there'll be classes on while you're down there. ACM-LLC ACM-LLC 3141 North First Avenue Tucson, that's Tuxon, T-U-C-S-O-N Tucson, Arizona 85719 Again, ACM-LLC 3141 North First Ave Tucson, Arizona 85719, again, ACM-LLC, 3141, North First Ave. Tucson, Arizona, 85719, again, ACM-LLC, 3141, North First Ave. Tucson, that's Tuxon to U-C-S-O-N, that's the way to remember it, Tuxon, but that's Tucson, Arizona, 85719. And guys that eat sandbags, they can use MREs, but that also means they can use other pouches, pouch food. You may be able to find deals on MREs that are out there. Here's a consideration. If you've got MREs that you think you need to cycle out, shoot them down there or take them down there. Of course, if you're going down to deploy, leave behind whatever you don't use and tell them they need to be prioritized for use. That way the freshest then what you do is you recycle you put more MREs into your inventory They take the others use them for deployment. Nothing goes to waste Now I will point out something about what needs to be done with MREs in the field Guys, you need to remind everybody and I know we'll probably have Our friends coming up on the air here might even be this hour. We'll see what happens. But whenever possible, dig revetments into place, dig positions into place, go down into the earth and create overhead cover using the earth, using beams, sheet material, and what other wood or sheet metal you can get, and cover up and create a root cellar slash a cairn for the MREs. Why? Well, some people have really, they haven't done all the research we have on it, I guess we have to reinforce this again. MREs basically will last forever, or so long that you're not going to probably be around long enough to find out what their actual lifespan is. Now I don't know what all the, I do know what the process is, but I'm jokingly saying, I don't know what all they do, but whatever they do, they do it well. Now, first of all, the MREs are heavily vitamin and mineral fortified. They don't just have the calories you need. All of them, even the combat crackers, have been vitamin reinforced. The logic is if you're on this food, you're burning calories. You are burning calories and you're pushing minerals out of the system. Now if you were sitting at a desk and pushing a keyboard all day, an MRE diet isn't probably going to do you the best good. So you're going to want to engineer your food storage accordingly. But... When you're in the field, guys, you are, especially if you're going to be out there as a ground pounder, you're in hot weather, it's going to get rainy, you're going to burn calories, your body's going to compensate for naturally occurring events, and you are going to consume what you put into the system. For this reason, the MREs, first of all, when they built them, and they built them, guys, they didn't just grow the stuff and throw it in a bucket, they built those meals. and each one by requirement had to meet specific mineral and supplement needs on top of calorie count. Flavor was an issue, trying to make the stuff more palatable for the troops. I have heard all the lamentations about MRA's and I'm going to tell you to stuff it. You know what that is, is everybody likes to complain, but the bottom line is we're some of the best fed troops on the planet. Nobody wastes the time trying to come up with goofy meals so that everybody gets some variety because they don't like the fact that we had four meals to choose from. So now we have then eight, then 10, then 16, then 20, then 22. Hell, we've got Asian, we've got Mexican, we've got Spanish, we have every variation on beef and chicken you can think of. and even pork, though not as much now. But all of that stuff is in there, guys. You've got a hell of a menu to choose from, and you can mix it up. On top of that, if you've got anybody with MREs and knows how to cook, you're eating like a king. I don't care what anybody says. A few extra spices, a couple extra bottles of stuff, and you've got any meal you can imagine out there in the field. You better not be complaining about that. But we're into storage. So, what we want to do is keep the food, the MREs, as cool as possible. Ground temperature or colder is good. Now the reason I bring it up is because the Donate of Destruction did the research itself. Now when we originally gave numbers years ago, even I figured, okay, we're talking spoilage when they said that, well, after 10 or 15 years, they had about a 1% or 0.5% variance in loss in the MREs. And I thought, okay, that's not too bad, but how would you tell which ones are good and which ones are bad? And then it was like, oh yeah, and what was the criteria? Well, when they tested the stuff, it turns out they were worried about the flavor. And I thought, what? I'm like, okay, I remember days when I was in the field, we had one LRRP per three men. And just the smell of the food had your saliva glands spittin' juice out, guys. I'm telling you, you could smell. You were hypersentuated, hypersensitive, when the first lert bag was opened. It was 50 feet away in a rainstorm. I'm not exaggerating. 50 feet away in a rainstorm and it wasn't even fully warmed. They threw the hot water in there, let it sit for a few seconds, and the guys, you could hear their stomachs grumbling. Okay, literally the body was responding and the guy started eating even though it hadn't been rehydrated all the way. Hey, guess what? Now, all of a sudden somebody's telling me that the reason an MRE had gone bad is because there was some kind of variation in flavoring. And so then I looked at that for a minute and I started reading and I said, well, let's track this down. And amazingly enough, a couple of the MRE companies that deal in the stuff brought out the actual military reports on this stuff. And a lot of people were like, oh, well, that can't be true. Yeah, it is true. In fact, there's a sliding scale with regard to temperature. As the temperature goes down, the length and durability of the MREs goes up for storage purposes. In fact, frozen. It would truly be indefinite. I don't know how good that would be for the packaging, but the packaging is designed to take and expand and contract from cold weather, so it can handle being frozen amazingly enough. Go ahead, Will. Spike just let me know through Skype that he's got us tied in through his Ustream channel as a co-host. So you're up on his Ustream channel right now. We were gonna sit down and try to figure out how to do that ourselves. Spike's figured out how to do it. I just have to have him walk me through it now. Oh, the inscrutable Mr. Spike has a found a proper solution for our problem. That's one. The other thing is with ViewFlix, I had a misunderstanding with what they had set up there. You can post from other sites your live video over i'm trying to get the u stream thing to work there but it isn't working yet i sent them a email hopefully they're listening so check i sent it to the admin uh... through the help section guys and i sent him a copy of the u stream embed code because that's where i keep running into the error it says the embed code from u stream is not compatible with the view flick format so Hopefully they can get that straightened out for us. They've been real quick to help us in the past. And we'll have the Ustream feed up on our Viewflix channel as well. And again, with a couple of the projects in place, this will give us even more, and again, this is going to work both ways. Tit for tat, guys. We're going to be able to put more and more of this type of resource in place. Think about it as a chain mail letter, kind of like. the more people that put up Ustream site, the more people that can broadcast wherever they want, the more information gets out. And of course we can show things like, look! Well, you know, wait a minute, that didn't do any good, that's just a white piece of paper! Well, you gotta remember when you're doing this, of course quality of the camera varies, let's see. That isn't a white piece of paper. Yeah, that's a white with bigger text. Yeah, well not only that, yes I know, I print small, but the, there we go, you can see the lettering, can you all read it? No. No. Anyway, we have a lot of work to do guys. And one of the reasons, I want to finish this thought on the MREs real quick. The reason I bring this up is because for me, I just, when I listen to that, it's like, have you ever starved or have you ever been hungry? The flavor, the flavor change, that was what they were worried about. In fact, as I contacted and was talking to PDOs, property disposition officers and quarter bastards, In talking to guys who have been to services, they said, oh no, stuff doesn't break down that easily. And in fact, it was good far beyond what anybody would perceive as a regular date. The big thing is, don't let the stuff get overheated. If it does, it has to be prioritized for eating first. Now, will it explode in the container or something like that? Well, I guess probably if you bring the temperature up, everything will, including you, by the way. Apply enough heat and you're not pretty, OK? But under normal heat ranges. What will happen is many of the minerals will break down and there's going to be fewer supplements that survive. So here's a little trick that by the way most you guys in the army don't even know probably but the quarter masters do. in a hot environment, before Desert Dust 1 by the way, and I know this from personal experience, having to feed armies, okay, in other words putting troops in the field when I was fielding op-for, talking to the quarter masters, they said, well, here's something that is part of army regulation, because they understood that with the heat, a percentage of the food breaks down to a degree. We're not talking turns to mush or rot or anything like that. We're talking that the supplements actually are going to be broken down and are going to dissipate. Because of this, they become neutral, you're going to absorb them, but they're not going to do what they were doing. You are authorized through the quartermaster to issue four MREs per day to compensate for mineral deficiencies in the rations based upon heat depredation. Once you get up over 110 or 120 degrees in storage, and that can happen, you put something under a tarp, you put it right next to the tarp, the tarp is green, it's hot, it bakes what's inside. Well, it's not going to cook and explode it because the stuff's already cooked. But what it is going to do is bring the base temperature up. So the military already knew this to bring the number of MREs up in terms of quantity of food that you put into the soldier to get the same end result. You're going to lose some calories too, so they need the extra calories put into the system. Now we might also recall that that heat, the other reason for this, is because understudies would go all the way back to not only World War II, but actually to World War I. They already knew that because of breakdown of the food, additional calories would be needed, but also because of a physical exertion and the calorie consumption that would be expected where the body is just running itself in extreme hot or extreme cold weather. That needs to be remembered. Okay? So... How good are the MREs? How long are the MREs good for? Pretty much indefinitely. Now if they're stored properly, indefinite and no changes in condition. That's what you have to think about. So when you deploy food into training operations areas, let's try to get it under double cover whenever possible. If it all else fails, canopy with a second canopy. This creates an insular layer and allows for air circulation that will help to keep the core temperature down in the storage site for the food products. We also have to think the same way with medical supplies. If you can dig in and dig down and then put the stuff in a Quonset type storage operation below ground, better still. We have a caller it sounds like. Who do we have? H.D. from Arizona. Go ahead H.D. We got a little hum in the background there, sir. Oh, see what I can get to clear that up. It sounds like your light saber's on. I'll call back. Well, it's quieting down, but go ahead and let's see if it continues. Go ahead. Okie doke. Here's the latest updates. uh... we now have a link on the website folks that want to donate online courtesy of the picture systems they were kind of to set up a donation chip in type thing for us so if anybody wants to donate a dollar or two and go to our website at ArizonaMilitia.com and follow the link to the Patriot resistance website and chip in Those funds will be used to purchase IFAK med kits, basically blow out kits for all of our guys. Excellent. The guys at Patriot Resistance have offered to sell them to us at their cost, using the monies out of that fund. Actually, that's a very good system and one of the things we want to stress, we're going into a battlefield environment. Medical support needs to be heavy just as water needs to be heavy. So keep that in mind, guys. We've got medics are going to be deploying and other personnel. With that process, we need to actually, I was thinking about this HD and I've got a number of bags where I'm going to ship down a percentage. that are East German gas mass bags but these are the ones that don't have the base hole for the larger canister. They make excellent medical bags. They will survive any weather conditions and they'll keep on ticking. The nice thing is it's a single pull snap system. We'll send a quantity down. You guys can pack those up or use those as supplemental medical bags to pack up for the troops. Then you can palletize them, have them boxed up already. And when you need more, or if you need to deploy more, you pull them out of the box and just start issuing them. That would be the easiest way to do it. It's ideal. We're also asking folks that if they have IV bags, whether they're saline solution, winner's lock, take, D5W, whatever you've got, If you're looking to get rid of them, ship them our way. Put them to good use. We're down to one. in the entire FEMA County at this point. We don't have any left other than that one. Then again, for everybody listening out there, and again I know we've got people who actually deal with, they're with medical supply companies, that's something that's not really restricted. Usually they have outdated stuff that comes back to them. It's not really outdated, as we know. And they can cycle that south accordingly when the time comes. The only thing I would recommend is plastic, bag, or canister, whatever you're gonna ship. If you're going to send them down range. A cool trick here, watch for used. like thermos type lunch boxes. You know the ones that are hard shell that have the handle. What you do guys is pack them up in those. It gives them another container on top of everything else. Then once you pack them, wrap it with a packing or duct tape to make sure the lid doesn't go any place and that armors the bag so they're not going to be messed with. Now they may be in a secondary carry pouch, that's fine. However many will fit in one of those containers, lock them in that way, put them in a box and then put that the second box in a third cardboard box. That'll keep it buffered so it's pretty difficult for somebody to muck with it. Also again the contents will be secure when you get to the other end and the insulation helps too. So the box will be useful and the medical supplies will get there. There's a number of options, a number of different directions people can go. Some people that are listening may work at one of the Red Cross facilities. One of the things that comes out, we've got hundreds of these things at one of the sites up north, are the Red Cross transport thermal boxes for blood. There's a box that goes inside that. They don't touch the blood or whatever, but they do get beat up. And the neat thing about those guys is that for the kind of medical supplies that you're talking about, HD, two things. They'd be handy to have down there on the front. And they make great transport boxes for the medical supplies. So if you've got to ship something, guys, if there's somebody listening, guys or gals, I know we've got people that are friendlies. If you can get hold of butterfly kits, saline, sugar, if you've got anything else in the way of multi, like transfusion kits, those are not as common, but they're actually building them again. Yeah, I saw them listed, I was surprised. They're actually listed still. Mostly they're used overseas. You don't see them here very often. but transfusion kits are available if you guys run into those are out of the emergency emergency room and they're outdated hey if you can snag those ship them down to the border that'll be a solution what else is on the shopping list H.E. go ahead please what else is on the shopping list well where do I begin the latest update that we got from the folks in Pima County is that they are looking for cots because we're going to be setting up primitive quartering facilities and the FOBs. We're looking at throwing up some frames and putting some tarps or parachutes on top of those frames. And then if we have enough, putting some camo nets over those frames as well. This will be a place for people to catch some seas in a secure area, a place where we can cool off people who may be heat injuries, which is one of our big concerns. But if we can get caught, that'll go a long way towards helping set all that up. In addition to that, we need medical supplies, sandbags, solar power systems, ponchos, rucksack, rain suits, camonets. MREs or any other field rations, something that somebody suggested. There is a company called Rip in Ready. That's rip-n, like the letter N, November, dash ready.com. They sell single serving trays that I've actually tried these. Oh yeah. The same technology we used to see in the MRE squad meals. We have a mylar cover that you peel back after you heat it. These can be heated in a tub of boiling water. They can be heated in the sun, which we happen to have a lot of here in Arizona. Nor they can be eaten cold. They don't have to be cooked. They're pre-paired meals. And they're like $3.50 per meal. It's not as extensive a meal as a MRE, but combined with the MRE, Accessory packets, maybe a couple other leftovers. We can put our own MREs together using these traymills. I've actually used these in the field before. Not quite handy. Just remember to bring a spoon. That's rip-November-ready.com. We'll sell them to you by the case, and you haven't shipped directly to our guys in Pima County. Other things that our guys will need includes water storage cans, shovels, and picks. sunblock, snakebite kits, boots and socks and foot powder, tactical clothing. ECUs are ideal, but we'll take anything that's desert tan or sage green or olive green or any camo pattern you think might work in the desert. Take a look at the pictures of the desert. You know what it looks like down here. A lot of gloves. Any tactical gear, even if it's old Korean war vintage H harnesses, we can put those to use. Sleeping bags, tents, tarps, water filters, either the individual water filters like the Seychell bottle or larger filters for the use in the rear area or the FOB like the Berkey's. Any of that stuff can be shipped to the address on our website. Very good so and if anybody has any Molly compulsive and if anybody has any Molly compulsive and if anybody has any Molly compulsive and if anybody has any Molly compulsive and if anybody has any I lost you mark cool That's a variation max headroom if anybody's ever Just kept getting louder and louder too I was trying to check on what spike was telling me the mini player though doesn't have a mute and So it just kept replaying the little section over and over again. Sorry, guys. There we go. Well, anyway, so we're looking good there. Go ahead, HD. What else? Where did you lose me? Where was I when I got cut off? We were just talking about... I was talking about the COTS, medical supplies, sandbags, solar power systems, ponchos, rucksacks, rain suits, chammonets, MREs, shovels and picks, water storage cans, sun blocks, snakebite kits, boots, socks, and foot powder. Tactical clothing, leather gloves, tactical gear, even old LBEs or HR-nesses from the Korean War, sleeping bags. I actually own a Korean War vintage sleeping bag and it's one of the better bags I've ever owned. Tents, tarps, and water filters. Individual water filters like the Myox would be great or the Seychelles bottles with the built-in filter. I actually own a couple of those. It goes everywhere that I go. It's part of my kit. The burky filters will be useful in the FOBs where we're going to be treating injuries and letting guys catch these in between patrols. This is going to be several weeks worth of work. We'll be rotating people down there every four or five days. Let them go down and get a taste of this and then go home. Some guys will be there longer. But however long they're going to be down there, if you're down there for 24 hours, you start to feel it. It's hot, and it's dusty, and it's bright, and it's going to bite you. So we're planning for and making arrangements to treat the injuries that we are fully expecting. And we're going to have some outstanding medics that have volunteered, thanks to you, Mark, and thanks to guys like Randy Mack, and thanks to everybody in the chat room, and everybody who hears your show. Everyone has done an outstanding job. God bless you all. Over. Very good. Well, we're going to do, we've got other stuff boxed up and we're looking through the inventory to see what we can find. I may have, and again we have a trailer that is going to have to come off of the Stasa site. I still don't have the feedback on it, we already had a couple calls on it. If that is the case, we're probably going to take about 50% of what's available through that particular depot and shoot it your way. There's a lot of the five colored desert equipment from the Sinai occupation. The stuff is very clean. That'll work well. Yeah, it's brand new stuff, circa 20 years old now. But it's neat, it's work, it's serviceable, and we're also, we've got our sources, for instance, the one jobber that I deal with, they have sales every so often, and when they do, as you know, there's a bunch of stuff that comes through that's cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. We're gonna have to get somebody to sponsor that to get a quantity, but remember, we could buy a thousand of something, not a hundred of something, but a thousand of something, And the price would be the equivalent to what you pay for a handful of retail items. So, you know, more is better. And that's the way we need to look at this. If we can volume stuff out, guys, we can make a big difference. And we're looking at being able to field the unit with consistency. That's really critical. Having the right gear in the right place. It doesn't have to be the newest stuff. I don't use the newest stuff. I've got Molly gear sitting here and I don't use it. It doesn't mean that you guys are using it. I'm going to ridicule you at all. It works for you. Congratulations. I think that's wonderful. We may have some molly gear that's going to be able to be pointed your way. Maybe just the vest initially. I've got to go through and inspect another load of something that's sitting here, but if it's available, they're going to go out to you guys. So it will be in Woodland, though. It won't be in the desert. Probably it will be in Woodland. That's okay. We've got guys operating in Cochise County who can use the woodland gear in their AO. Excellent. We have something that's not coming from the Pima County commander, but I'm going to add in there is that if anybody wants to donate ham radio gear, we can connect our county units. We have a program in place to encourage all of our unit members to get their ham licenses, but they're short on equipment. So if anybody wants to donate any VHF, UHF, or HF, 60 meter, 80 meter, whatever kind of hand gear you've got, we will put the system together and make it work. We've got people on our team that can do that kind of magical Wiz kid stuff. Over. If I can get them over to your area before they start heading south, maybe they can bring some of that stuff down with them. Until September. It would be easier for me to get the stuff to them if it all popped. Yeah, and we could do that. What we'll do is have somebody else shuttle it down into their area and that way they won't have to drive as far. Because boxing up is not a problem. I've got some stuff that's already boxed up that's actually ready to go, but I don't want to wait until September with some of this. So I'm going to have to write you. I can't say this over the air but there are some tricks that will save cost-wise as far as shipping stuff. So things that can be done. And one of the things to remember too is if at all possible guys there are people listening that are closer than we are, that are very close proximity. Example, just north of you, they're in Utah, Nevada, where they've got depots where they can pick up stuff that you know it doesn't have to be the prettiest but they can get a big bulk lot of it. Guys, if you can take the time, bid on the stuff, load it up, take a trip south. Ideally would be if you could buy a truck for a $150 bid or a $60 bid, like a deuce or a, not a deuce, more likely be like an M880 or a CUC fee or even an M715 or even a military van. What you do is you buy it, fix it up real quick, double check it, make sure everything works, load it up with the stuff you got, drive it down to the unit and throw the keys at them. Give them the paperwork, give them the keys. I'm saying it, we'll go you one better. We'll go you one better. We will organize a fundraising effort at our end. Anybody who lives close enough to one of these depots, if you find something you think we might be able to bid on, we'll bid on it. We'll pay for it if you can help us transport it. Exactly. Now one of the reasons I bring it up is right now a bunch of the Alice 2 gear in pristine condition is coming out in large waves. So for everybody listening guys, here's where we can get backpacks cheap, the Alice packs in quantity. Now here's the way I look at it. Whoever's doing this, you may have a unit you're trying to outfit, but you go, oh, I don't know what I can do with 300 or 200 or 150 Alice packs. It's real easy. You take the Alice packs you need, figure out what the cost is for the whole batch. Divide it up accordingly. You cover getting the rest of those down to the troops and keep what you want to select out of that lot and everybody would be happy. See how that works? Absolutely. Another solution. Great idea. Yeah, it's everybody gets what they want out of this, but this is the way that we get quantity. We need volume and we need consistency so that the troops are better outfitted and equipped. Doesn't mean we won't use everything we got. You're going to be constantly wearing out and you're going to be using gear. One of the things people aren't used to is this. Once you start ground pounding, you're going to find out what breaks down, what wears out, where it wears out, and you'll start anticipating it. But you're going to see that even Alice gear, boots wear out, boots take a beating. That's why we used to say, your mother wears combat boots. Well, combat boots, you wear heavier and thin and built to take, you know, be tough as nails and take the worst. That's not the case now. Quality is very different. So you're going to go through more as you're wearing them down. Your Alice gear is going to wear in certain points your your Molly gear. I'm doing a video right now That's an addendum and I have that's what I'm saying I have all the variations on Molly failure right now in front of us In fact, they're sitting on kind of display in preparation for being videotaped because I'm going to walk right through and do a tutorial on this. It's not that I'm ridiculing it. I've been arguing for years, guys. If it isn't nailed down and we can carry it away, we're going to use it. It's ours. That means anything from any era is going to probably have to be pressed into service anyway because you're going to have combat losses. You're going to have stuff that's just torn up. Your web gear is on an APC or on a truck or it's in your position and you hear And you know that one's for you. Guess what? You're going to clear out if you didn't have it in hand and you happen to clear out fast enough, you save your life. But guess what? Your pieces of junk are all over everybody else now. Dad, we're coming up at the top of the hour right now. So we're going to have to, again, in your case down there at the border, it's just wear and tear. Think ahead for this, guys. One of the things real quick, two liter canteen pouches and one liter have been coming out in force in the DOD sales. So HD, that's one thing to watch for, OK? Will do thank you sir. Thanks. I'll tell you what join with me on this god bless the Republic That's in a new world order.
