Mark Koernke discussed weapons ergonomics, equipment integration, and preparedness for militia operations. He emphasized the importance of equipment inspections, proper gear fitting for different body types, and water management in field operations. Koernke covered tactical tools including e-tools, knives, and utility equipment, recommending surplus options over expensive commercial alternatives. He provided updates on rifle availability (STG58/G1 FALs, Sega .308s), shotgun drum magazines, and ammunition supply concerns, warning that purchasing agents were quietly acquiring inventory. Announcements included militia training exercises in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, deployment preparations for Arizona operations, and specific unit assignments for maintenance and construction projects.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken Satan's number You've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled 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? Dill the land of the free hear the drums in the distance go to the sound of battle Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Central, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, PBN.4mg.com, and we are on live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and 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. Oh, the tree branch and root of Nebraska. Many, many places, but yeah, the corners here and there. And then the third of Wyoming. Hi to all of our guys there. Hopefully everybody's healthy and even though you're a bunch of rock climbers, pretty good out there in Wyoming. Keep up the good work. And Iowa slash Iowa to all of our micro stations here. Greetings. We know we have a whole new, might call it the cornfield grid because you don't want a cornfield wheat out there. Well, it's cool. Then, back across the Mississippi to the Golden Spike Project, across with the many ridge runners there, across the Smoky Mountains.

You miss out. It is the 21st of July, the second year of Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. And it is a beautiful summer day out there. Man, we're getting summer days, but muggy. We have not had dry summer days. We've been getting wet, damp, and warm, and muggy damp. So either way, we got a lot of moisture in the air, the plants are doing great. What I suspected yesterday was true. I didn't go out and pick the zucchinis yesterday. Well the growing season is in and we got big zucchinis. We got to start chopping them up making zucchini bread and zucchini squash pie and all kinds of good stuff. But we're not going to be starving as long as those zucchini plants are in motion. The biggest thing is whether or not you can be creative. Fried zucchini, deep fried zucchini. Oh yeah. Good stuff. Well it is because, oh my goodness, is it what I think it is? No way! It's Weapons Wednesday too, on top of everyth- Well, gee, yes it is, I know that. It is Weapons Wednesday, face plasma rifle 40 watt range, oozy 9mm carbine, spasto shotgun, 45 long slide with laser sight. Yeah, yeah, we just got these in yesterday, I got a whole crate of them, 24 on the back, I'll take them all. Well, of course, Arnold didn't, he just took a couple, one of each. I think he did better than that, though, you know, you gotta figure if he's a machine, he knew what he needed, and he carried probably as much away as his... Little body would tote which would be a whole hell of a lot Anyway, it is a beautiful Wednesday here. Maybe husband very busy. It's 21st, and we do have a number of things I do want to touch on again today We got into the concept of the weapon systems this morning with regard to integration and ergonomics Ergonomics is where you make the system fit you or not you fit the system because that's not gonna work if you try to I mean granted you can pick up a weapon and make it work if you have to But unlike the military we have the ability to actually adjust our equipment to our needs We don't have to meet a table of authorized equipment We don't have to worry about what it is that you know is in demand by the whatever the latest magazine is it's read by the latest paper pusher and pencil pusher at the pentagram who then turns around and implements it because it's me profitable for him when he gets his sidekick and money back off to the you know in the Swiss account or the Cayman account In our case we make it work because we're comfortable with it, it fits us. And we're home defense forces. We're not going overseas, we're not going to help promote opium sales, which is what's happening in Afghanistan. We're not going to steal oil, which is what the Israelis wanted us to do for them in Iraq. And we're stealing all the oil for the Israelis they could possibly carry away. We're not making squat on that. And then on top of that, of course, there's the dope trade south of the border. Now, in our case, we're Defense Forces. We're inside the continental United States. We're on our own power base. This means that we can engineer the equipment to our needs and we won't have to worry about a massive deep supply train coming from halfway around the world. We're on our pile of goodies, so to speak. So, if you have a certain arm length, for instance, I'm holding my arm up, I don't have to just do that. See, look at the microphone. Well, for you guys on Ustream, I'm holding my arm up. I have a certain length arm. Mark is comfortable, okay, when he moves his arms in certain ways, Mark can only go back so far. Mark might have a restriction or John or Fred or Jeff. May not be able to hold the arm up a certain way. May have injuries, combat injuries, industrial injuries. We have to engineer our equipment to meet the limitations of the shooter. We also have... small shooters. We got girls and boys coming up that we're teaching. We have young adults, we have middle-aged adults, and we have old adults. And in each case we may have to start tweaking or engineering accordingly, depending upon the needs of the individual. We can do this. The nice thing is a lot of the CHI-COM stuff, this is one cool thing, because the Chinese are typically smaller people, at least the last couple generations were, they're starting to feed better, so they're going to probably get a little bigger, plus they got some Koreans mixed in there and some others too. And yes, the different stock they've got is bringing up the size of the person, guys. Remember that. As in people that they're marrying, intermarrying with, or whatever. Whatever they're doing in the communist states, they can call whoever they want. Anyway, the point is that The gear that we have that Surplus, in many cases, will perfectly serve our young people because they're smaller, you know, they're growing up, they are going to probably grow out of the equipment, but we're not going to waste it. We're going to route it to where it is useful. We are not going to throw things away. Another thing is something that may be broken, in other words, it's broken and shorter. Well, if I need a shorter stock for somebody, for instance, I can cut down, re-engineer, adjust accordingly. With Zytel nylon stocks, in many cases, they have adjustable cheek pieces, replace shoulder plates that are different thicknesses so I can make the thing longer to reach longer arms and shorter to reach shorter arms. See how that works? Very simple process. But most important is we find that comfort range. This is especially true not only with riflemen but also with pistola operators. You see if you're going to carry a pistola and you're going to use the pisto, Well, you better understand the limitations of your body and how best to make it fit you. Make that pistol fit your needs. This includes type of holster, location of the holster, etc. Remember, we're going into the field here in a situation where it's not going to be eye constrain and fudged. No, we've got to have everything adjusted for our person in advance before this deployment. Now, I'm going to say something. For our friends down in Arizona, without being arrogant, And while being both courteous and respectful of all of the individuals, it should be recommended that a policy of inspection is in place for all personnel that will be participating. Why? Well, first of all, minimal standards will have to be met. This is something that a lot of people don't think about, and it is something that has to be concerned, especially water. Now, you've heard me mention this for years on the air. We got hot weather out there right now here in Michigan. If you're not traveling with water, if you're in an attack, attack, attack exercise, and you don't have water out there right now, I'd have to hit you. But we got lakes and rivers everywhere. Yes, we do. But potable water that doesn't have stuff floating in it that's growing would be a really good idea. Doesn't mean we can't purify it. Doesn't mean we can't modify it. But... There's a point at which, you know, for instance, let me give you the best example. There was lots of water nearby when Custer, Reno, and Benteen went into the little bighorn. You know, the water was so close that they could send men to crawl down from Reno's position and to try and get water. The problem is they were carrying 30 or 40 canteens, which went clink, clink, clink, because they're all empty. And soon you heard, ahhhhh! Help me! Help me! Help me! What's wrong? Well the water was very close. Unfortunately so was the enemy. Yay! It's a message for you, Sire. Okay? So the same problem applies in a battlefield situation. Well I'll have plenty of water when I need it. Except then you're pinned down. And can you be pinned down for minutes? Hours? Perhaps even days where you're trying to escape and evade, avoid capture, avoid contact, because maybe you're for instance a reconnaissance unit? Where you don't want to be seen you can't afford to expose yourself And if you are secure enough that you haven't been found and you haven't been fired upon you might have to just stay in place for a while So with that being the case it would be a good idea to transport a specific amount of water on your person all the time Doesn't mean you won't be replenishing in the field of course you will Reno's people tried to. Some of the men got really high awards and commendations, although not all of them came back for trying to get the water. Some of them actually did. Very few, but some of them did. Read the accounts of the whole action of Little Bighorn. Follow up by watching where Bentin and Reno met their, shall we say, static defense position. In other words, frozen plays. Anyway, the point is that inspections are critical because you also need to look at equipment and gear. Is there something that maybe a person didn't notice? One of the other reasons I like to inspect is because if there's something that needs to be fixed, why am I going to wait until we're out in the field and we hear flop, flop, flop, flop, or uhh, uhh, ow. Oh, because they're walking along and all of a sudden that piece of framework that they, yeah, somebody didn't quite check out. Well, the strap and the pin retainer are gone and they keep bumping into the guy's, you know, neck or rear end or side of his shoulder or whatever. After a while he doesn't notice it, but he's kind of grunting a little bit. Oh, yeah, he may not notice it, but everybody else will. Well, we're going to avoid that by inspecting the equipment and doing a quick check. And again, this is designed for the benefit of the whole formation. An individual taken out of action because of lack of preparation or improper gear support is going to cost you more than one person if he becomes a physical casualty. One man is going to be able to walk that person back. In fact, it's just not a safe thing to do. Typically again, if one person is injured, three people will be taken out of service because two have to escort that one back to an area of safety and then try to play catch up with the rest of the formation. Yeah, that's going to be fun. Plus you're expending calories and wasting resources. So, this is also true with your arms. And this is why INSPICTION! HOMES! One, two, Oh, wait a minute. Oh, okay. Hey, it looks like you can grow a potato patch in that thing. Well, yeah, I didn't clean it the last time we went to the range four months ago, and... Ah, it looks like that's a... Is that a green shell casing there? Oh, yeah, I kind of couldn't get the old empty out. I figure I'd work on it while we're in the field. Well, I'll tell you what, let's take that over to the armor and maybe beat that out of there and see if the weapon's even serviceable. What do you say? Now that may sound strange, but even for multiple inspections, there have been at least, and I can count them on one hand, twice or two times, where even though I have had multiple assigned inspectors we will find an expended case that has been lodged into a rifle and typically this was with an assigned or issued out weapon to somebody who was new who didn't want to have to take a you know a kind of you know a credit for the failure of the firearm now the thing is it wasn't that person's fault it was the ammunition was being used in this case it was blank ammunition that was corrosive the way you know and of course a crimp type or European rosette crimp it's an off-crimp And what happened is the stuff when it opens up actually has a flat surface that makes contact with the chamber and what it did is it actually locked in it adhered, you know, metal to metal and it required tapping out with an armorer's rod. That's a piece of big brawn brass that we use. We pull down, put down through the barrel end, the muzzle end and go tick, tick, tick. Not beating on the crown of the weapon but beating on the little brass rod and tapping the piece of brass carefully out so as not to do any more damage than possible. Then also inspecting the chamber because we hopefully didn't score anything or shear anything or do damage. That means you're going to have to use borebrite or you're going to have to clean the thing out accordingly and wear it in again so that we don't have that sharp abrasive edge which will lock other brass into place and create other failures possibly especially with volume fire. So little things to watch for and why inspections are so critical. Another thing about ergonomics and engineering is, remember, limitations with regard to reach. I'm holding my hand up again. My hand can only reach so far, behind my back, around my side, or whatever. So if I put something just out of reach, it's going to be just out of reach. Your arms aren't going to stretch farther. There's no arm stretching to other is. Unfortunately, after that, you won't use that arm much more. You get my drift. So, in this case, always look at the operational distances in the operational area for placement with regard to magazine pouches and other gear pouches. Priority is that all magazine pouches and all grenade pouches and all flare pouches must be within easy access of one limb or the other, arm not leg. Arms, okay. Other pouches can be slightly out of reach per se because at some point you've got a station equipment there so non-critical or non-essential equipment needs to be put into or secondary equipment, secondary stations need to be put in those places where they're difficult to access at best. The one nice thing is we've got MOLLE gear. No, I don't always bad mouth MOLLE gear. I just don't have that. It's okay but there are disadvantages and I've looked at it long enough now and I've seen some of the worn out and broken stuff to know that it's nice but it's the same problem we had with row gear back in the day when it was built. Nice package, squared away, did a good job but did not wear well. And if you have to spend a lot of money on it over and over again, well, it's like outfitting three people in less than a year and a half of nonstop use. If it's coming out of your wallet, that's a problem. So the heavier, more durable gear means it'll be with you for a greater period of time in the service and will serve just as well. But if you have the MOLLE gear, you do have the ability to change the height of the gear, locate, you know, pouches, locate them in different configurations. If you don't like something, reconfigure it. Don't just let it saw, I've got to leave it where it is now. No, you don't. Experiment and make the system work for you. If you have to adjust a pouch up or pull a pouch down or move it to another station, do it. Experiment. The worst that's going to happen is you're going to go, well, that didn't work. Unsnap it, reconnect it, put it back in place, and you're all set. OK? But do take the time to experiment. Now another thing that we have to look at. is the fact that familiarization is critical if we do change things. If you're going to go to the range and you're talking about going down to deploying Arizona the way a lot of units are, then I highly recommend that you go to the range, in fact set up a private range, where you can practice with your Webgear. You're going to have to get used to the idea that this is not range fire. This is going to be a patrolling exercise. Used to be. I don't know if they're still doing this. They did have it. What it was was a re-initiation of a program that was in place before World War II and during World War II to employ and deploy the M2 Browning 50 caliber. They came up with a whole process whereby the vehicle had to be like a half track, although it could be a deuce and a half. And there was a competition within divisional units and within core units in which they would have M250 caliber crews compete to see who could deploy the 50 caliber fastest. and under certain conditions. Now it was supposed to be a mechanized implement, a weapon that could be brought forward with a 3 quarter ton or a deuce to half or on a half track, dropped off, put in place, and then wail away and control an area. They also did this with the M60. Some of you might remember the M60 competitions. MAG58 I assume they're doing the same thing or SAWS today. But NATO, I mean the NATO competition slash in actually a European Theater of Operations US forces. They had a competition with M60 crews but they didn't start on the range. I don't know if you recall one of the courses they had to run a mile with a weapon. move along on the course trail or course that was set, typically it was on a road, and then move on to the line and bring the weapon up and online directly out of motion as if you were deploying in a combat situation. And then the competition continued to include fire and maneuver and of course accuracy at varying ranges to include extreme range against both point targets and multiple slash area targets. Anybody out there remember that? I do. Anyway, the point is that you should be practicing the same way. Ideally, people go, well, my other parking is right up by the range. If you have a parking area that's away from the range. I would recommend that the best thing you can do is have your gear squared away so it's ready to be mounted. In other words, put it on your person. And each person helps each other as quickly as they can. You form up and you move to the range and then deploy to fire. Now, this is critical because it gives you a chance to feel your equipment when you're walking because it's a big difference when you stand there and go, yeah, it's comfortable. Yeah, I like this. You can jump up and down a little bit at least to find out what's making noise. So you can tape it down with electrical tape, colored electrical tape now, and camouflage no less. So you can actually dress it up and silence everything. That's number one. Number two is walking with it. You're going to find out where there are wear spots or loose points. If there are wear spots, places they're wearing against your person, guys, it's not a matter of if. It is only a matter of when that's going to create blistering or it's going to create fatigue. It's going to cause injuries. You're not going to like it. You're going to be crying. You will be in pain. Okay, we don't need that. There's no sense in that. Test out your equipment in advance extensively, not just a little, extensively. When you get on the range, then see if after you've worn it in, and you bring up the weapon, and pop, pop. See if what you were originally thinking was the process of dropping the mag, securing the mag in your popcorn pocket, reach up, pull the next mag, insert the mag, tap the assist, or forgive me, tap the release, air 15 bolt rides forward, and pop, pop. The idea is train with the equipment you're going to be using. Now, and again, combat load, this includes your water. Plan on carrying the water? Now I'm going to touch on something else because it's Weapons Wednesday and one of the finest mayhem weapons that we have that we carry is the E-Tool. Now I know a lot of you guys have gone over to the tri-fold and I can understand if you have. Some countries still won't go over to the tri-fold. They've used many other variations in the theme, mostly because they want something that has a solid shaft or a good firm, you know, main shaft for the blade to be secured with. There are many year old shovels out there but everybody's been grabbing everything they can. Guys, I'm going to tell you something. Whole elements of the American Revolution were lost or were tied or were challenged for lack of e-tools. in fact Washington during the Jersey retreat they were not able to fortify why because in one of the major retreats that they you know one of the places that they abandoned actually Fort Washington to be quite honest what happened is Fort Washington contained 500 in trenching tools well what's the big deal that's only shovels yeah it's a manufactured item guys it's one thing to talk about it it's another thing not to have it when you need it So tools are something that have always been part of the table of authorized equipment within the regular military. For us, you know that I've repeated over and over again, you should always have a multi-tool. If you're willing to carry a pair of wire cutters, that'd be a real good idea. And there were a bunch of military wire cutters available here in the last two to three years. They've dried up now. You may find them here and there. I think the English ones are the most recent ones that have come into play. And the reason the British ones have is because they're a parts assembly thing. The British didn't have a whole lot of money to spend in World War II and they started getting poorer and poorer and poorer, you know, progressively as the war went on. So they came up with a modular wire cutter. It's actually made from a whole bunch of smaller pieces and it was all bolted together and just now in this last couple months, I think this last month especially, I notice I got a notice in an email that a whole pile of the English wire cutters have just come out from the surplus industry. Now the Czech ones, the Polish ones, the German ones have all been out there. Everybody's bought those up and I'll tell you what, if you did you're really happy. They're some of the best utility wire slash snipper cutters you're going to get your hands on. The British ones haven't had a chance to test them yet. Hey, they got to be serviceable. At least it's better than an improvised pair you'd have in a prison camp made from a couple pieces of bed spring. You know what I mean? So in this case, you should be able to make them work pretty well. But if you're willing to carry the weight, it would be a good idea. Wire cutters, a utility Leatherman type tool, and an E tool. Those three tools would get pretty much everything done. Now the eTool, the better you, the, the, then there's a rule here. You don't just spend more money to get a good product. There's a lot of good surplus shovels out there that are eTools and trenching tools that are quite reasonably priced and very, very serviceable. You can buy three for one as opposed to the latest widget being brought out from the industry right now, which typically will probably be made in China anyway. But let's say if you're lucky it's made in America. There are a few American-made T-handle or stirrup-handle shovels out there that are showing up at the hardware that are the shorter, smaller shovels. They're not even the standard, they're not full-size spade, even. They're a little smaller. They're actually in line with being a non-folding and trenching tool for their size. Excellent tools, good idea to have them. If you haven't picked something like that up, you need to. If somebody else is tossing out a shovel, I don't care if the handle is broken halfway down, take out the saw, cut it down. Wow, now you got a shortened shovel. I have lots of those laying around. I've got lots of shovel heads that people have been throwing out laying around. Why? When the time comes, I've got lots of dowels and I just, Mark has to make the time to do it. lots of broken handles from other stuff they get cut down they get jammed into the head they have a couple bolts stuck through them and I've got a shovel that somebody can use is it exciting? No. Is it high-tech? Absolutely not. Will it get the job done? Yes. Absolutely it will. So our biggest concern here is improvise, adapt, and overcome if you have to, but why not have the right tools in place? Four, five, six dollars will get you a ChaiCom or a low-end American shovel at the hardware right now. Maybe a little more because the dollar's devalued. Let's say maybe $10, but that's $10 well spent. and make sure that each vehicle has any tool, make sure all your tactical vehicles have at least one. Ideally, two or three would be a good idea, can't share a shovel, more people digging, the sooner you're done with the task and get on to other things. You may have to dig out something that's stuck in the mud. You may have to dig out something because you've got a flat tire and you've got to jack something up. Somebody can work at it from one side while one person's working at it from the other. you know, two people working together. The idea here is fast and furious because your life depends upon it. In a combat operation in SARS tactical deployment down in Arizona, same thing guys, you're gonna have to have, might have also be a good idea of a pick slash a matak because you have varying conditions of material down there. You do have gravel and sand mixed in with pea gravel and stone, aggregate combination stone, sand gravel, Because of that you might need something to kind of bust it up. You can still use the shovel to move it on down or to fill up the sandbags with either way. But the idea here is tools. They're a critical item and there's something that's going to definitely come in handy. We're at the bottom of the hour right now. I figured out Don's probably busy. I know he's got to take care of certain business so we may not have him up. And if you'd like to call Let's see. What's our number again and you can give that out probably better than I can right now So if you want to give out the call in number chest as a caution Alright, the call number is 1-218-844-8060. That call number again is 1-218-844-8060. Once you're there, they'll ask you for a conference room number and our conference room number is 437-9296 and the pound key. That conference room number again is 437-9296 and the pound key. very good appreciate that and again that's if there are any questions uh... i checked with uh... uh... classic arms dot u s guys uh... those stg fifty eight slash g one rifles we told you about well apparently everybody heard about him and they sold out So that's cool. That's a good thing, but what I understand, at least they're pretty close to so they said they had one or two or maybe they're out already because it can't be again one of those talked him on the phone. They are ordering more. They should get more in theory course. We know how that works application. Maybe another thing, but congratulations if you got those STG 58 slash g1s are beautiful rifles classic arms dot us does not have FN FAL mags. They do have other mags, but they don't have any FN FAL mags. You're gonna have to find other sources for those, but The STG58 slash the G1 model of FNFAL is a beautiful firearm. Very good solution to the problem that everybody's been looking at, trying to find a .308 battle rifle. The other area, the other consideration of the Sega .308s, of course, and I'll remind everybody that the Magnolia arm solution, the Magnolia State Armory, MagnoliaStateArmory.com, which is producing the adapters for the Sega AK and 223 so that it will take standard AR-15 mags. They are building and should be out with by the end of the month an adapter for the Sega 308s so that they will take an HK91 magazine. If they do, that will become one of the best combo solutions on the market price-wise. The rifles are still cheaper than pretty much any of the .308 out there. The cost of the mags is cheaper than anything out there, period, because they're a dollar a mag, the two dollars a mag right now, depending on what you buy and what the condition is. Now, they aren't going to stay there for long, guys. Once there's a market interest, then they're going to start to change. Plus, availability is going to drop, and then they will go up in price. It's not an if, just a win. It's the way all magazines have always worked. So, with the solution in place, we're going to see an increase in the interest in the Sega 308s. Remember, you're going to want to pick up a side rail scope mount for that rifle. It already has the rail. You just got to get the scope mount. And those are available from classicarms.us or several other companies, JG Sales has them, jgsales.com, jgsales.com, and I'm pretty sure, unless they ran out again, aimsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com. Also mainmilitary.com, that's mainmilitary.com, m-a-i-n-e military, mainmilitary.com, 877-608-0179. They have the mounts, they also have the rifles guys, so you want to check out with them, see what they have. And they have the PTR-32, which is the AK-47 mag variant of the HK rifles there in 7.62x39. They have a couple left at the most. I know they had 10 and they've gone through those pretty quick actually, considering the price of the rifle. And they still can access more and I think they're on the list for the next wave coming out. So the PTR-32 is getting good reviews, by the way, from every Everybody that's used it so far is going into their Defense Arsenal group, which is what we expected. The category is a plus plus as far as ratings go. Now, as is always the case, we're benchmarking this. If you want to support the guys down in Arizona, ACM-LLC 3141 North First Avenue Tucson, Arizona 85719. Again, that's ACM-LLC 3141 North First Avenue. Tucson, that's Tucson, T-U-C-S-O-N, Tucson, Arizona, 85719. That's 85719. Give them a call, well, if you want to give them an email at arizonamilitia, militia at hushmail.com. Again, that's Arizona militia at hushmail.com. That will give you an opportunity to check out and see what they may need. You can give them an email and ask for a little guidance. If there's something you maybe have a commitment to just purchasing what they need. Or maybe you have a whole bunch of cool stuff that you would like to perhaps move on down the road and send to the Arizona militia for the deployment coming up. Not a bad idea. Sandbags, gear, Boots a lot of different equipment has already been shot down in that direction We'll see what happens as far as you know Whether or not there's any other problems and delivery some stuff has been sent back if it's by the post office But apparently everything seems to be getting through by UPS or whatever so you know experiment see what works in your area ACM dash LLC 3141 North First Avenue Tucson Arizona 8 5 7 1 9. There we go. I think I'm too fast for you. ACM-LLC 3141 North 1st Ave Tucson Arizona 85719. There you go. So it's going to be interesting to see what's going on here with the Next deployment we have other people that have been asking in the upper part of actually in the UP, there will be a training exercise this weekend on the western side of the Upper Peninsula. They're going to be meeting to see about sending personnel down to the border for the deployment and to rotate personnel down there. If that is the case, again, we're from a northern climb, be prepared for heat. I can't stress that enough. A lot of guys from Wisconsin, yeah, you see summer heat, we know that. So the only cool thing is we've got plenty of time to acclimate right now. We've had good warm weather even in the UP. Still chill here and there. Up north, a little different. You have to remember, we're that much farther up above, you know, certain demarcation lines for the warm weather crowd. It just doesn't happen when you get farther and farther north. There's only a short window of summer and then you're back down to fall winter which is most of the year. So if you are going down there, remember if you have summer weight gear take that but in addition because of cold desert nights this can happen real quick. You get different weather fronts moving in with the fact that the desert doesn't hold any heat. Make sure that you take your field jacket Make sure to take your field jacket liner. I would also recommend a pair of long johns and a combat sweater. Your choice. Wooly pulley, brumbar, pullover, whatever you got. Those Norwegian sweaters are nice. Now you're not going to wear them all the time and you're going to wear them through the cool evening because again exposure is a possibility down there. So let's not see that become a problem. One of the other things I would touch on too, fighting knives or work slash utility knives. Now one of the most interesting things here is everybody thinks they need a Rambo knife. No, it doesn't need to be a Rambo knife. It can be a working utility knife. There's a lot of decent blades out there that are not as expensive. They're not pretty and they're working blades. They're designed so you can do things with them, beat them up, finish gets scratched, they get marred, they get messed up. You don't cry or care. See how that works? And this is especially important with The many different tasks are going to be assigned down there which includes housekeeping operations and also construction. You're going to need a knife that's going to be able to hold up to being beat on or hammered on or stepped on or dropped and run over etc. etc. By the way, K-Bars Great choice. But K-bars are getting a little pricey. So you want to look for a cheap, no-name brand version. Hey, if you're worried about the idea, well, Mark, it may not last as long. Experiment. First of all, start using the thing around on the training operations we're talking about. and beat it up a bit if you've got something else that's a less expensive replacement or one you know for instance uh... Ontario knife company makes a whole family of knives they're feel great they're working standard there's nothing fancy the new ones have the plastic grips but they look just like or like stack leather whatever i mean there's number of different ones that are out there that get a copy of the m sevens uh... they've got the copies of the k bars k bars of sawbacks uh... you name it and machetes another option uh... the shorter blade machetes short short but 18 inch which is standard for most military. Ontario knife makes three variations at least one of them as a saw back and it has a buccaneer hand protector. What we call a knuckle duster is in reality what it is. But it's a Zytel Nylon. It's designed so that you don't slip with your hand and run your hand across your own blade and slice yourself open, guys. When you flip a blade over and you start using it for a saw, because the back is a saw, if you're getting a little overzealous or something catches, the last thing you want is for your hand to slip. off the blade or should say off the grip and right over the back of that the opposite side of that saw because the opposite side of the saw is a cutting edge. Ooh that would hurt. Yeah you don't want to see that happen. You really don't. And we don't want to have to stitch you up. So think ahead and look at the tools, experiment, see what makes sense. The Ontario Fighting Knives slash Combat Utility Knives are a good choice. Consider this, they're cheap enough you can buy two, three or four to one. Pick an extra or a couple extras along. Beat the snot out of the one. See how it holds up. If it holds up okay when you leave, if you got two more. If you prefer you want to keep it as a memento of your operations in the field, I understand. If you figure, ah, it's a beater, leave it with the web gear you're going to leave behind for the Arizona militia. There's a nice knife for somebody else when the time comes. You already know it's been in service and you already know that it's going to hold up because you've been using it right there. Now, again, also with regard to blades. Everything from folding, utility, pen knives, to again the Gerber system, the utility universal tools. Gerbers are very common out there right now, and I'm not picking any name pranks because I carry three different ones, including one that's a no-name brand clunker that's fairly girthy, actually very serviceable. Just a CHI-COM copy knockoff. I carry it because if I lose it, I'm not going to cry. And for a lot of the stuff that I do, it's worked just fine. Now, one of these utility universal tools doesn't do anything fast, but it does a little bit of everything. And that really is a critical issue. A hundred people with a pair of clicky-clickies that can go snip, snip, snip, or twist, twist, twist, means that times a hundred everybody can disassemble everything just like mice. Nipping it rope. You know what I mean? Just like in the movies like in the old fair the old fables slash the old myths anyway, uh What else did we have that was pretty exciting here? I want to make sure if we touch any questions appreciate the response from the guys there in the chat room and I also want to do all this right. Let's see Another thing center fire systems aha Centerfiresystems.com. They're not a sponsor, but they do have something else that might be rather handy, especially on Weapons Wednesdays. I believe they now have both the 12 round shotgun mag for the 12 round drum mag for the Sega and the 20 round drum mag for the Sega. Everybody goes, huh? Well, if you have a Sega 12K, most of you guys already know about these, but some of you may not have caught up on this. Centerfire Systems is carrying both the 12 round and the 20 round. The 12 round, a little bit smaller, a little under half a box of ammunition, or should say a little over, depending on what box you buy. But that's not bad. 12 rounds, a little lighter than the 20. The 20 actually is a Now that's a whole box ammunition and boom boom boom boom you'll be happy to pull the trigger because the weapon gets lighter. Well the 12 rounders a little more manageable for a lot of people. Either way it's a great point man's gun or rear guard gun especially with two men with 12 gauges with drums. Very effective way for a unit to fall back and have suppressive fires in place. Poor man's submachine gun, poor man's claymore walking claymore. And since these drums are available I'd grab them while you can people. If you've got a Sega, that would be a good idea. The next thing that I'd recommend, of course I don't know who would do this, but if we can, somebody who's a machinist picking up one of these drums, the 12 round would be your first choice, best choice. A 12 round drum, but do it all with CNC work and do it in metal. All the way around. Everybody goes, but Mark, it'll be heavier. Yep, it'll be heavier. I like that. But it'll be heavier! Yeah, I know. And the reason I like heavier is because it'll take better abuse and it'll help to keep the weapon down and stable, especially a shotgun. You're going to be firing semi-auto and volume fire if you're using it for suppression fire. Anytime you get a little more weight on the weapon system, guys, the more likely it is you're going to feel less felt recoil. It'll help keep the muzzle of the target where it is needed. And all 12 rounds are going to count, or all 20 rounds are going to count. So that's something to consider is if we can have the thing CNC'd out so that it's done in metal as opposed to Plastique, that would be a very good thing. So, hopefully I'm planting a seed. You never know. Somebody might get a really cool idea, look at something and go, oh I can do that, that, that. I can do it this way, I can do that with this. And the dimensions are about the same over here and oh yeah, there we go. I can make one of those. Prototyping is critical in this situation. So experiment and take the time. If you guys have CNC shop you're working with, it shouldn't be that hard to scan the thing, do the rest of the spec. Dimensional work needs to be done with a micrometer. series of micrometers and then all of a sudden we have ourselves a effective defense drum and we can produce it in quantity over and over and over and over again. That wouldn't be bad at all would it guys? Anyway, excuse me, there we go now. We are headed towards the other things. from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan. So this will be over there again. They're going to be in the water too. Lake Superior is never warm. Now the upper part of Lake Michigan is exactly warm all the time either. In fact, you get pretty chill pretty fast. So congratulations. Appreciate these guys for doing what they're doing. I want to say thank you. And that's part of the Wolverine militia. This is part of the state militia forces that have been here for a long, long time. These guys have been around for just about as long as the original formations were organized back in the early 90s. So just about as long as they have been in place. Some people have moved way up north and then some. Also, Sergeant Harris, that's right, that was the other announcement. Sergeant Harris, M114 slash Victor 2, maintenance project in class. Sergeant Harris, if you would, we need to have you contact the 3rd regimental combat team, Colonial Marines. That's Sergeant Harris. Also for Al and for Mel, actually, I'm sorry, Melroy. Let's get that right. Al and Melroy. You guys need to contact Camp Nagy-Hitcham especially with regard to target range maintenance. Apparently we've got a motor off, a piece of equipment's got to be back before this weekend and it's Wednesday. They get a little nervous now guys. So for Al and Melroy, if you could give them a call up there Camp Nagy-Hitcham. We've got a motor pack that's off. It's actually one of the tricks we've been using guys is garage door openers. What you do is garage door opener. gel pack batteries, an inverter, the cheapest inverter from that's right from over there at the truck stops, solar cell battery, solar cell and battery pack combination and what you have is a mobile remote moving target. Kind of cool because you can move it between a couple of windows at the two three and five hundred yard mark However, one of those right now. They're all hand-me-downs what we're using our old pieces of equipment or stuff that's been discarded And I think what happened is they finally just had a unit that went out But there's a little concern. I know the guys are just gonna go to the scrap yard replace it with another motor So it's not a matter if it's just a matter when they're chain driven so anyway for Al and Melroy if you would please contact them there and then Last but not least, posted for the... Oh, that's right. It said the Colonial Marine website posted 4th Regimental Combat Team, 1st Company. Same issue as Arizona sandbags and also construction material. It's going to be dropped off at Camp Emerson. So it is a responsibility of 4th Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marines. And I believe that's Sergeant... I'll make sure I get that right. Sandell. Sergeant Sandell is going to be in charge. Sandell. I'm pretty sure I'm pronouncing it right. Anyway, I got the spike this morning. For everybody out there listening, 4th Regimental Combat Team, first company. You guys are going to have to work on this one. This is going to be a priority project for this weekend. Part of the, not range operations, but base of operations and command and control. Apparently this will be also... we're setting everything up for the radio exercise this weekend and then one at the very end of the month. So everybody needs to be ready for that. Actually the end of the month beginning of August. July is ticking away. Wow! That's not looking good there, is it guys? Yes, anyway. Okay, we don't have any... Oh, also, forgive me, for P&P up in Gladwin, Michigan. I want to say hi everybody. Remember, you're going to be up there on Sun Oil Road again, P&P up there in Gladwin. You guys need to be frosty and squared away this weekend. You've got a lot of work to do there. Anyway, last but not least, ammunition. I have been hearing some interesting things coming from the industry again, which of course, now they're not, there's a casual concern and part of it is because of what we hear happening. out there in Arizona guys. Apparently there are certain purchasing agents who quietly know that the veneer of the reserve that we have right now in the country is just that. It's very shallow. So certain people have been going around and doing a sonar ping to confirm amounts and available resources with the different jobbers and semi-retailers around the country as far as companies that typically you'd find through shotgun news. The whole idea here is that apparently somebody is already kind of giving a warning order that they're taking an interest in buying everything that they have left. We'll see how this works out, but it wouldn't surprise me in that now what you have are people who are supplying either families or village groups, things like that, in certain risk areas of the country. And these communities are getting together and actually using a little common sense and going with group purchase think, which is cool. But because of that, don't be surprised if stuff just goes wha- in whole areas or like in one part of the state or the nation or the other. This is something that's going to happen as things escalate and as the bad guys realize that we're not exactly letting up. Now there's two things they can do. I don't think this is very likely but they could actually go out and purchase stuff up and make it disappear. Now the problem with that is you got to do something with it. Of course you can sell it back to us in theory, but that's not necessarily going to work very well because anything and everything will be put to use. So that's one option. The other thing is just simply that these purchasing agents or these purchasing activities are going to consume whole categories and areas and where you thought something was available and it will look good on paper. I mean I just did that with a couple companies to include AIM surplus. I punched in a bunch of stuff I'm looking at. Oh, looks like it's available. go to the actual item out of stock sold out out of stock sold out out of stock sold out out of stock sold out out of stock do you see a pattern here sold out out of stock So if you see something that's your favorite flavor of the day and it's something if you can continue to collect and continue to patiently put it on the shelf. Magazines are no different from ammunition. Magazines are something that if they decide to pull the same game they did before and they aren't a pattern on those guys, they may go after the mags. They're trying definitely to lull everybody into some sense of security that doesn't exist. There isn't anything that appears to be safe, not the least of which are jobs in America. So with that in mind, then available resources once everybody takes the same interest which is what they have then you're going to see a lack of availability in general as we've seen before several different pulses here in the last four years most specifically in the last year and a half to two years and that's again going to be it's something that it's got to be a oh my goodness how did this happen instead it's going to be a we told you so okay so just a warning order on that uh one more time Oh, because time we are almost up. In fact, we're going to probably hear the music anytime now. Hold on, hold on here. We might hear the music at any time now. Hold on, I'm going to do this again. We may hear the music here at any time now. Pretty soon. I know that. He got distracted because he's been working on other stuff here and trying to get things done. 15 things at once. Chief quick bottle washer and the guy twisting the wrenches there. Well I hear the music. We're going to go to break here for a few minutes. We'll be back in about six. You all pay attention. Remember guys, stay frosty. It's warm out there. I know it is. Because of that, you carry water with your gear. You make sure it's always refilled and you come in out of the field. May not be tasty, but when you need it, you got it. Okay, later on you can change it out as needed. God bless the Republic. death of the new world order we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the empires in the run. We're on the march. We'll be back in about six minutes on Liberty Tree Radio.

It's easier to find than my birth certificate. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave.

You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail.
