The other night that, when I didn't understand, 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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the midst for whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. And a butter knife? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, West, South, East, and North. Ladies and gentlemen, we are listening to a song, LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, PBN.4mg.com, and we are on live 365 and go to Liberty Tree Radio. We also have AM&FM micro stations, CB Bay stations, and alternate technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the homework network on the eastern seaboard, top of Maine, bottom of Florida, bottom of Florida, Archimedes of the Gulf, Mexico, headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and the chunk of Nebraska. The third of Wyoming and our friends in Iowa. Then over on the other side of the Mississippi, that's eastbound. We're in the Golden Spike Project, another element that's helping to spread the technology across the whole of the nation. Congratulations to the restaurant crew, the grandma teams, and the OK teams for the work that they are doing there. But I tell you what, it's been a busy day and today, BK, what is this day? It is 30 July 2010. It is the last hour of the day and the week for Liberty Tree Radio, no telling which media we are out on, but it's Liberty Tree Radio. And that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. And that means our mission tonight is to provide you with the information so that you will be able to find the bullets, the beams, the resources, the technology needed to keep the troops in the field. It's not just the two-hour movie guys and it's all the parts that are really, well, sometimes dull. As far as most people are concerned, quartermaster, well, without a quartermaster, the rest of the system falls. It's just that simple. So guys, we need your help to pitch in, make sure things are accomplished, and the mission is focused upon. In this case, it's to get the material to where it's needed, so what have you got for us tonight, BK? I know we're going to long list. Well, we have the usual odds and ends, but I would like to do the routine business, and that is to mention to people that PBN runs on a shoestring gang, and very often there's not a whole lot of string left at the end of the shoe. So anybody who feels that they can afford a few pennies is very much encouraged to drop them in the penny jar. on the LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com website. There is a donate button and that leads you to a page with a couple of PayPal buttons on it, one of which will set up a regular monthly payment of $1 a month and the other one will do the same thing for $5 a month, depending on who's a big heavy roller or not. I would encourage anybody to hit one of those buttons or both of those buttons or any combination thereof that they see fit. One of our friends in chat is mentioning, well, gee, BK sounds a little rough. There's a reason for that. BK's landline is out of order at the moment, you know, telling just what the telephone company is up to there. They said, We may effect a speedy repair perhaps as early as next Wednesday. So I hurriedly slapped together a microphone and so on and I am having adventures with Skype, so this is almost the first time I've operated that. The microphone I'm using seems to pick up a lot of ambient. I had to turn off the fan that keeps old BK at operating temperature. So we are going to have marginal audio perhaps this evening, but it's a matter of necessity. And it's interesting that this is another part, completely different from our part of the country. We're seeing the same kind of conditions. day after day here and it's been cascading. It's not just over in the middle part of the country, it's over here in the Midwest, we're seeing this happening back east. Whole elements of the infrastructure guys are just kind of chugged into a halt. Right, welcome to the Soviet Quality Utility System, the Soviet Quality Telephone System, Soviet Quality Everything. Isn't that neat? Let's not forget the TV. We went from being able to pick up the stations without high definition to being given a super high quality picture, ha ha ha, and almost no ability to receive. It's great if you can pick it up. It's great if you can get to it, sir. Yes, I can't get to it. Well, yes, but sir, if you could, it would look like this on our television. No, I want to see it on my television. Yes, sir, but we understand that. That's just a problem. So, this is across the board. This is happening everywhere. And again, looking at three days out. Did you guys have a hurricane or something that we missed, BK? No, we've had some fairly lengthy but gentle rains, but we've survived a great number of those in the last few weeks. I actually was in front of the PC when the first anomalies occurred. Excuse me. Uh-oh. And so, voice and data both go out, and then both come back, and then voice go away. So there's no telling what's going on. I assume that's a side effect of somebody else's repair that they broke mine. Maybe they grabbed the only available spare pair in the bundle to this neighborhood and now I'm in line for taking somebody else's spare pair or whatever the case may be. Possible, too. And again, that's a representation we've been talking about here, classic Anne Rann's Atlas Shrug. If you guys get a chance, if you're listening right now, It helps you to understand and appreciate logistics, guys, the depth of logistics and technology. When malfeasance and dishonor are attached to the system, then it begins to crumble. That is one of the things that I just was pointing out here. If we're going to see any communications, if we're going to see a replacement, see the bad guys are hoping to knock it down and it's not going to be up and online. It won't be a replacement. There is no reason for us not to have backups in place, which is what we are using right now, and then look to solutions in the future. We are going to have to be looking long term and we are going to have to be looking at a number of different tiers of technology because some stuff will be available for only a period of time and then it is going to be lost again. That is just simply the nature of where the factories want to produce some of the technology. We can run it for so long. That is the bridging period that allows us to switch over to less sophisticated but functional systems that are viable. It's critical that we all start to think this way. So do your part wherever you can. We'll do ours. BK what have you got for us sir? I know it's again the signal communications. It is tied into quartermaster guys because you know we end up issuing out a lot of the gear and we have to use signal communications to get to where we need to be. Well there is a plus side to all of this and that is that with my incoming line down I am sort of out of business in my so-called professional activities for a few days and that lets me finish up the project of improving and expanding my available work management space that will let me get to some back burner projects that have been idle for a very, very long time. Some of the people listening will know that I am referring to them when I say, it looks like I may actually have a chance to advance some of these projects, hang in there, maybe we'll get things done for a change. I have kind of been stuck in a one thing at a time mode for a very long while. So this may unstick that little loggerhead or log camera, whatever you want to call that. So, right now we are entering the period when back-to-school sales are being advertised widely. And this is one of my favorite times of year because there are bargains to be had in the form of lost leaders. Now, the pattern on these is very similar to the pattern on other materials advertised locally, especially by the big office chains and so on. They tend to distribute their flyers on Saturday. They become effective on Sunday, and then they're gone Sunday or Monday morning. So I cannot tell you what's going to be on sale this coming week. I will find out tomorrow morning, and there will be a mad stampede at the door on Sunday mornings when they open the doors. But this last week, as examples, Office Depot had Eraser caps, little rubber erasers you stick on the back of a pencil, 50 of them, 25 of them for 50 cents, I think. Rulers for nickel apiece, quantity 3. Office Max had wooden rulers with the metal edge in them, nickel apiece, quantity 6 limit. One of these firms, I forget which one, had number 2 pencils, literally dime a dozen, 10 cents a dozen, quantity 3, so. I consider it a total no-brainer to go in there and work these specials just to stack up the stationary supplies. Because remember, we get so entranced with and concerned with more modern data handling equipment such as PCs and laptops and PDAs and all that kind of good stuff, but paper and pencil is the most basic data processing equipment available. does not require any electricity, operates no matter what the conditions are, and is essential if the troubles, we might call them, Last long enough that we have to spend a lot of time teaching the next generation just all the basics. Language, communications, arithmetic, mathematics, sciences, etc. There's nothing quite like actually being able to write something down to reinforce the educational process. Forget all the fancy whiteboards and the monitors and the movies and all that kind of good stuff. Number two pencil and a spiral-wound notebook. is the long time classic educational aids and they are of great practical significance as well for organization and maintenance and testing messages and so on. When you can pick up a half dozen spiral wound, 8.5 by 11 notebooks for 50 cents, go ahead and take a whole dollar in there and get your two six packs. That was available last week. Who knows what's available next week? But I encourage everybody to keep an eye on those newspapers, see what the specials are and hit them. Remember that the limits are per visit in theory. You're not supposed to walk out the door, go to your car and go back in again, but I don't think there's any cops watching you. Work these specials. Wally World in previous years has had spiral-lown notebooks, ten cents apiece, no limit, or limit ten, that sort of thing. Work these right now. You don't have to drain your resources later on for mundane things. When I was away on so-called vacation, I had to have a a pad purchased for me just so I could make notes while I was studying. Buck 79 for a simple flip over pad of paper. Well, if you can buy that same pad for 10 cents on this season, silly to let them hit you for the extra dollar 69 a month from now. So keep an eye out for these things. See what's available in your area and work them by all means. Go ahead. Most important here too guys is if you're going to be building up storage systems, Other than the fact that we can't snap the, well we could, but we don't want to snap the one foot ruler in half and fit into a number 10 can, but all these items can be fit into kit cans. The military used to do this, and we do this with our number 10 can dry pack system where we actually put a lid on. You can just use nothing but a one gallon can, a coffee can with a plastic lid. If you have tins left over from Christmas, you can do that. You can put things in there and wrap some tape around the edge to seal it up. That's pretty good. It's not a food-spoilable item. Exactly. And what you do is you do a mix. The erasers, the pencils, protractor sets, that's kind of handy especially for map work guys. And for imagery, little notepads, you name it. Paperclips, safety pins. It is basically a utility mini office set. Whatever you can throw together that goes in there, especially if it is brand new, psychologically this is great too. Somebody opens up a storage can and everything is right there that they need. They are going to do the office managing once they get to where they are. But they need certain tools to start some form of management mechanism. It is not going to be very fancy. A lot of basic daily stuff you don't think about. Basic instruction material, chalk is another one. We always seem to assume chalk is going to be there in all these disaster movies. It's like, where did you get the chalk from? Well, from the convenient chalk tree behind the property here. Well, in some cases that may be true. But most people don't have chalk trees laying in the backyard or pencil trees or paper trees. Well, wait a minute. They all have paper trees around. It's just a matter of what kind of paper you want. But it takes a lot of work to get it from tree to paper and you don't have most of the machinery. It doesn't mean you couldn't do it, but why are you wasting all that time? It's really hard making it by chewing it up manually, you know? That's right. I that point, say down the road where you need that next pad and you might have had to have paid $1.60, it's on the pads you did use have already paid for themself and you'll still have one sitting on the shelf. Anytime's over. Yeah, exactly. So the other thing I would mention though, and this is something I will explain right off the bat, guys, paper is a commodity. It is an absolute commodity and you don't waste it either. If there is a piece of that paper that can still be used, it is used. You're going to have to get used to regimenting and structuring your work with the paper so that every component of it is put to use. You may get to the point where this sounds weird but eventually you'll be recycling it by cleaning it back off. If it's pencil written it will be erased. The other thing is when you're done with it, you're going to wipe your hind end with it or you're going to start a fire with it. In fact, you might wipe your hand in with it and still end up starting a fire with it. Oh, that's terrible. But the point is that everything has another use and nothing goes to waste. It's not going into landfill. There's no such thing. Dust is about the only thing that's heading into anything we might even remotely perceive as a landfill. All manufactured goods will be reused. That's all there is to it. We just don't have a choice. Anyway, go ahead, BK. I'm gonna get more. Although I heard a beep, do we have a caller? I just heard a beep, yeah. Go ahead, who do we have? Yeah, Mark, I got a technical question. Okay, go ahead. Oh, no, I'm trying to get one of the videos loaded up. I had to go find a beta back for the team for the other tapes. I found it at a Goodwill store. One of the tapes has condensation in the port and I'm getting poor quality on the tapes. How do I get rid of the poor quality? First of all, don't be running a machine where if it's moist or appears to be moist, one of the things you're going to unfortunately, you may have to do, is take either a tissue or a very, very dry, dry cotton cloth. What you do is activate to open up the shutter on the VHS tape or the beta tape. What you want to do is progressively wipe down. As a release you can actually move the tape, articulate the tape without it being on the machine. I just want to second here. Can you tell us the nature of the quality problem you're having? Is it little white speckles all over it? Is it strange distortion on the audio? What's the issue you're seeing? Well, I'm getting a lot of or white marks across the screen and plus other condensation side to tape. Okay, those white speckles across the screen, they sound like head loads. That means that the heads really need to be cleaned on that VCR. The easiest way to do that is to run a cleaning tape through it. It's usually adequate. If that's not, then a careful job of cleaning the heads by hand. can be done and if you're not familiar with the process, it doesn't require a lot of material but it does require some care. But if that's the major quality issue, then it sounds like you've got a head load. That's very, very common especially on older secondhand equipment. People don't clean things up just before they hand it over to Goodwill. They hand it over dirty and Goodwill doesn't ever put anything back in operating condition like they once did. They just throw it on the shelves and look for the cash. So it sounds like you need the heads to be cleaned on that deck. So that's something to look into. Ask around, see if anybody has a cleaning tape, either dry or wet style. If that does not do the job, ask around, see who you can find who knows how to do that and can do a careful job of cleaning the heads for you. You can wreck the heads if you do it wrong. Okay? But like for video tapes that sit for years at a time not being played, how do you, because sometimes these tapes don't play or they get poor video or audio quality. It's possible for the tapes to deteriorate in storage, and that's also routine, especially if they are stored flat, so that the access of the reels are perpendicular to the ground. One of the things you always want to do with an old tape is you want to shuttle it first. That means you put it in fast forward and run it all the way to the end, and then put it in rewind and run it all the way to the end. That lets it resettle the tape. on the spool. That alone will help you a fair amount. If the tape has problems, the tape itself may have to be cleaned. Now there are machines that do that, but the manual method just requires a whole bunch of really clean tape and a lot of, or clean cloths and a lot of care. You just pull some of that tape out, make a very gentle swipe over it with a cleaning cloth, and then roll some of it in, pull some more out. Make another gentle swipe over that. That can take an hour to do a tape easily. But that will get any loose oxide off of the tape. That also will cause the aforementioned head loads in no time flat. If that tape is letting go of its oxide, then you definitely want to wipe that down with a clean, dry, soft cloth. No solvents of any sort. Just wipe it down to get any of the loose oxide off so it doesn't immediately load up the heads on you. Go ahead. Alright, well thank you. That's all I need to know. I'm trying to upload something very important. It's like I went and bought a video card to load on my computer to make DVD. But then I'm running all these tape quality, audio quality problems. One of the tapes is a BHS and one of the other tapes is a Betamax. So I had to go look for a... a Betamax machine all day yesterday. Well, I'm MBS. I have a whole bunch of good operating Betamaxes, but I'm a big fan of that format. I've never noticed one in the Goodwill or I'd have grabbed it just because. Well, I only paid $5 for it, so it was worth the money. More than... Oh, gentlemen, I'll let you get back to what you intended your show to be. Well, again, take the time, as far as the cleaning goes. If you look around, you'll find that typically Your Photoshop may still carry VHS support equipment especially when it's private because it's not going to throw any stock or inventory out. So you might want to look around and see if you can get a new cleaning tape for the machine right off the bat. As BK said, the one thing is if it's damp or if it's got cleaning problems, it's the oxidation problems. You're going to have to just patiently release the tape, pull a certain amount out. That means you've got to open that shutter up, no matter which model it is, because that's a protective screen to actually protect that tape when it's not in service. It will just be a very tedious affair, but it's worth it, especially because then you don't have the cleaning problems of the machine every so often. If you're able to get it to run, you'll still end up with cleaning problems because of build-up. As far as storing these tastes, put them back in storage. It's okay if we use silicone packets to keep moisture out. Yes, that should find the most important single thing that you want to do is to store those tapes on edge. So they're not, if you're looking down at them from above, if you can see the label then that's oriented wrong. You want to turn it on edge, either the short and long side or short side down, but on edge so that the tape is hanging from the spools instead of settling against one side or the other of the container. And then if you store them in an ammo can or something, well, being magnetic may be a steel ammo can isn't the greatest idea, but if you store them in something that can be made fairly airtight and throw in a desiccant pack, that's desirable. But nothing in there truly rots, or is all that moisture sensitive. The most important thing is to store them on edge. Okay, well thank you gentlemen. I'll let you get back to your format. I know it's Quartermaster Friday. You're welcome. Appreciate it. Follow through on the project. Thank you for doing that. Any of this sort of stuff we can help with. That's a worthwhile expenditure of airtime, I believe. One of the things we mentioned last week seemed strangely enough to actually still be active. I spoke with one of our friends regarding the olive oil special that I mentioned. That was at World Market and they were selling cold-pressed, first-pressed olive oil at Stormtrooper is trying to help us in chat. We're not going to be doing that on air. two liters in a tin for $10. That's an excellent price. As of last night, one of our friends said he believed that special in his area was still active. That probably means that they did not empty that particular pallet load. So I would encourage anybody that did not act on that yet to take a look at worldmarket.com. use the store locator, see whether there's a store near you. There could very well be one near you and you wouldn't know it because they don't advertise very much. And if so, get on down there or call them and see if they've got this special. $10 for two liters is an excellent price for any olive oil and this is the top quality stuff. This is what we want. If you can scrape up $50 or $100, go down there and get five or ten of those and just put them away in stores. One of our friends last time when I mentioned that, added in that he has cool dark storage for his stored foods and he had recently pulled out some olive oil that He had set aside five years previously and it was perfectly okay. Whereas the conventional wisdom is, oh, it is only good for eight to twelve months, that sort of stuff. Well, in plastic bottles I tend to agree. Plastic bottles breathe and that's not good for oil. If you buy it in plastic bottles, transplant it immediately into glass or metal containers, get them airtight, maybe even add a little bit of vitamin E oil to help preserve them. But if you're buying it in glass or steel, just get them into reasonably cool storage. If it's glass, make sure it's dark as well. Just put them in a cardboard box and do the trick. And that will last a whole lot longer than the propaganda will tell you. But the special that we called out last week seems to still be available in some of the stores. That's World Markets. They are offering 2 liters of very good quality olive oil at $10 for a metal tin. Go ahead. Excellent. Again, when we're looking at storage of this type, for this technology, the most important thing to remember guys is airtight. It's something that I understand the problems that we have with operations in many cases, especially when it comes to trying to figure out how to get this done. But if you're buying the stuff from the factory, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. It should be a complication to actually find it as is, ready to use, as they say. But if you have to repackage, remember, you'd investigate. There are a few neat tricks that are actually used for These types of liquids, vegetable oils, olive oils that are old tricks. I go back as far as pretty much man has been operational with cooking oils or any types of storage oils because these are also used for storage oils at one time. There are lots of ways that you can repackage this. If you find yourself, I just did something to my mic, you can tell me whether that's an improvement or not. I'm good, matter of fact. Okay. I did a little bit of surgery on a piece of foam and just created a little windscreen on the fly. So maybe that helps. There we go. Alright, so at any rate, there are lots of technologies you can use, and if you are repackaging oil, if you buy it in plastic, for goodness sake, repackage it immediately, one of the things you can do is you can repackage it in beer bottles or wine bottles, as is most conveniently available to you, for about $60 to $80 at the home wine stores. brewing stores and wine making stores. You can purchase an Arbor Press with various fittings to handle both the crown caps, and we think of those as bottle caps, or wine corks to press a wine cork into a bottle. And you can purchase the corks for wine. You would want to use as much cork as you can. They're becoming harder to get pure natural corks. But for other materials like oil, You want to go with the flow and use the plastic-y synthetic corks anyway because you don't really want that bottle to breathe. And if you push a 2-inch cork into a wine bottle, believe me, that is well sealed. If you want to be a little bit more thorough than that, go ahead and turn it over and dip it quickly in a little pot of melted wax and that will add another layer of assurance. You can be certain that that is well sealed against air. Then just keep it away from the light and keep it at a reasonably cool temperature, whatever you can manage, and that will last a whole lot longer than they say it will. And as a matter of fact, look at some of the old storage systems that you have that are actually on display as artwork. It will give you an idea of what we're talking about here and how it works. This is some of your old natural history museums. They've got usually a lot of cool stuff on ancient societies. Most of what we're talking about goes back to those ancient societies. So the technology does not have to be reinvented. Most important is that we understand how to use what it is that is off the shelf. Can we get a job done with it? We certainly can. We are just going to make the effort to develop our skills. I think it is kind of interesting. We have had pretty good luck over the years. We have some, right now as a matter of fact, we have got some olive oil, although this is ancient in reality doing so far the tests that I have done with the stuff. don't have any major complications or anything to shelter anybody about. If it does not meet your standards, then dribble a little bit of it onto the doggie food. It's good for the doggie, it's good for their coat. They won't mind a tiny bit rancid. They're much more resistant to that than we are. You can always make it into soap if you need to, and you can make it into POW food. But a little bit of rancid is not desirable, but you can withstand it. It beats starving. In fact, there are so many things that we can do with the material in the process. Another thing that really, with any of the vegetables, no matter what they are, another little trick is lamp oil, which is something we've done with it over the years quite successfully. I'm not putting that on my salad. No, no, lamp oil. Salad oil. I was just pulling your notes there. Go ahead. Interestingly enough, and it is really fascinating here too, the processes we've tested in most of this equipment, we've been very satisfied with the end result, but if you're going to use them for lamping and such, which is as likely as not, it can be just as likely as not, then we have to remember that if you're going to do that, do a little bit of an experiment, kenneliac with a taste test thing, do a little bit of an experiment to confirm or deny the performance of the stuff when it comes to burning too. Just in case you had contaminants you weren't sure about, things that happened that were a bit of a surprise. Well, I didn't expect that. You can burn olive oil. I believe that you will clog your wicks rather quickly. People, when they burn those natural oils routinely, just trim the wicks a lot. And that's because they build up a lot of carbon and a lot of crud. But you can do it and it beats the heck out of sitting in the dark wondering what's going on. Especially, where again the price is right. So, no matter what we run into, in fact any combustible fluid can be used in the same way. But any time that we can take and revert something to another cause, if we have contamination, if it's damaged, if there's a question about performance, this is something that happens all the time, then we need to look at ways that we can defeat the shortcoming. I think that's the most difficult thing for people to think about. A lot of times we're used to the throwaway society issue. We can't have that in this situation, we just simply can't afford it. It's going to be an ongoing issue for quite some time here too. That reminds me of another thought that I have had. It's a little bit on the irrelevant side. We have not spoken at length of wood gasifiers. This is a topic that we should handle at some point in the future. But it occurs to me that if you do put a wood gasifier into service, there's a lot of things that you can throw in there. as a minority constituent alongside the wood. We mentioned that when the oil spill initially occurred. My suggestion as well, you could actually dribble some of that in there along with your wood fuel. Another thing that occurs to me is that I suspect that broken up asphalt would also be a suitable fuel in there if it's not more than maybe 5% of your fuel charge. But that's probably also... Well, with the matter of fact, there's something that They were having problems with some of these third world countries, all of the petroleum products, especially when you're in a situation where you're a country where everybody is dirt poor. That's how roads disappear. That sounds weird, but it's not. Guys, that's how roads disappear. That's how things like that come about. Anything that's combustible or burnable is going to be scavenged by the population. and it may sound strange, it's like the stone that burns. Everybody would go, man, but that would be silly, it would be stinky. People, we figured out somehow to burn coal. How do you think that happened? Well, in a gassifier it would not even be all that stinky. The temperatures in there are incredibly high and does a good job bringing everything back to carbon monoxide and hydrogen. So, other shopping items we have. Two of our common vendors, DSG Arms, that's Delta Sierra Gulf Arms, as well as Centrifier. Both have free shipping offers current right now. DSG Arms is offering free UPS on all orders over $1.99. Now that involves a shipping code or a promo code. The promo code is AUGSHIP, like August ship capitals, AUGSHIP. And that's good for orders over $199 in the lower 48 UPS ground and that's through the end of August. They have a couple of items in there that are of some interest. They are offering some Fiocchi 223. This is 62 grains, $300 per thousand. That's not a bad price for the 62 grain FMJ. They are also offering a package bundle deal 5 magpole PMAGs and 150 rounds of the Fiocchi 62 grain, that package deal for 109. So two of those is basically a combat load, in my opinion. Three of them is a combat load, in your opinion. But that's 5 mags and 150 rounds to fill it, Fiocchi Now one interesting thing too is, remember guys, we were talking about donating to the units out west. or at least being able to negotiate and deal with part of the building and help to keep the cost down for operations with the deployment. The other thing is that if you are taking your own ammunition, remember that if you are using a certain type of ammo, you are going to want to try to make that a consistent load. I know a lot of times we have done this where you may have a bunch of the Fiace stuff and then you have some U.S. mil-spec stuff and then you have Mix a Russian and other. For this expedition, at least your basic combat load and whatever you figure will be part of your service backup. should all be consistent ammunition unless it is a specialized load. And it was adapted or it was adopted by you because it performs in a certain way for a certain mission. Right, if you want a magazine full of AP or you've got a magazine full of tracer for spotting purposes or whatnot, that's fine. Otherwise, if I have a bunch of hodgepodge ammo and the other guy does, we should trade around like we used to do as children after Halloween. I like the chocolate, he likes our candies, whatever, and make sure that everybody's got the same stuff. If his rifle is known to like this steel case ammunition and mine doesn't like it, well, we should start things out so everybody has what their rifle likes and is known to feed properly. And the advantage here is, again, consistency and point of impact. A lot of guys, we're not spraying and spraying. That's the bad guys on the other side. Accuracy over volume fire. Accuracy over fire. It doesn't mean that we aren't going to use volume fire, but remember you're going to increase your odds, your potential for hit with consistency. So once you do, if you do switch over to volume fire, with any attempt to aim, you are probably going to hit where you aim. You don't have to worry about ammunition variants. Remember we will caution everybody on the Russian ammunition, not the surplus, but the Russian new ammunition. There are up to 200 ft per second variants in the velocity of each of the rounds depending on the powder they use. In a training environment that's not as drastic, but in a battlefield situation most important is consistency. Right, and on the program we have documented massive variations in the powder charge of some of the Western pistol ammunition too, and so it's not just that commercial Russian stuff. You've got to be careful about everything you use. This is going to become an issue, guys, when you're in the field. So again, these deals, and go ahead, you might want to repeat them again for our listeners. If you are looking at using a certain load, buy a quantity for your service operation in the field for this deployment coming up. If you might want to even check with the ArizonaMilitia.com site, see what the guys are saying, give an email, you've got it there. It's ArizonaMilitia at hushmail.com. If there's a recommended load or something, maybe again the system will be copacetic with using a certain ammunition of the type that we're offering here. We're not providing the ammo, we're just providing the source so you know where to go. Go ahead again, please. Right. Also, Center Fire Systems has a similar offer, but it's very short run. It is free shipping site-wide, but it has orders of $99 or more, first 48 states, blah, blah, blah. but it goes until 9 a.m. Monday, that's August 2. So that's a very short run special there. And looking around on the site, I didn't see anything that really grabbed my eye. Their ammunition is all that commercial Russian stuff, just like you mentioned. However, the one that really grabbed my attention is DSG Arms. That is Delta Sierra Golf Arms dot com. The promo code is AUG. It is free UPS shipping, all orders over $199, lower $48. and I pointed out that they are offering this Fiocchi 62 grain 223 FMJ for $300 per thousand and a combination of magazines and ammunition, a five pack of magazines and 150 rounds of ammunition. These are magpulse, PMAGs, those are well regarded magazines at 109 for the package. And again, for anybody who's trying to stock up too, just put it on the shelf so you've got backup to backup guys. It's going to be your combat load. You may have your 510 program which you're working on. You have five AR-15s, five SU-16s, any number of other different rifles on the shelf. If they take the AR-15M16 mag, if they take .223 ammunition, there are solutions. Not just, oh, the limitations. Why didn't I do this well? Later on, you might have to say that if you don't call us, you're on it. But in the meantime, we have the ability to correct and deal with the problem. Now, 510 program, for everybody listening, the purpose behind that For those who are new listeners, it's so that eventually all of us should be able to support five individuals, which is a fire team, or ten individuals, which is the squad, by outfitting them top to bottom. Gear, Web Gear, backpack, all the basic equipment, and if at all possible, an arm. Now some people are purchasing specific arms for the 5-10 program, so they have a brace of five, boys and mayogots, or five AR-15s if they have a deep wallet. or whatever is within reason. Pump shotguns are very common. A lot of people have purchased savage pump shotguns because they are cheap and they can pile a bunch of them up. They are not quite like the Model 500. They are a little different design in the Mossburg. Obviously they are lower end than the 870 but you know what? You are showing up, you have a shotgun, you have basic combat load, you have warm clothing, you have socks. You're not going to be taking any 500 yard shots with that, but you can sure ruin somebody's day at shorter range. That's right. The whole idea behind this is that we'll be able to put troops in the field new or, and this is the other part of the situation, we supply after engagement. One of the things that anybody that's in Quartermaster understands is that one of the missions behind Quartermaster, especially with any kind of action, especially defense or offense, is that Quartermaster is prepared to deal with casualty consumption and or just conventional perishable consumption. Perishables including ammunition, food, clothing. Clothing is listed as a perishable. Most people don't realize that. Now take that as a part of the list of things to do. clothing is a perishable in military inventory. It may have a longer life in terms of use, but it has a set life in service. You have to think the same way. Guys coming back off the field after a major action of some kind, guess what? They're going to need to change out. They may have to change clothes. They may have battle-damaged equipment. They may have web gear that's destroyed. They may have lost their web gear. They're going to be coming back almost bare-butt naked. There are more than sufficient accounts of this in our history. and Quartermaster has been the difference between life and death, victory and defeat, which is why we offer that of course tonight. So anyway, go ahead, BK, I know you've got more, sir. Well, the other topic also is you want to be able to secure your garrison and your supply point. So even those single shot or bolt action, 12 gauges, break action, whatever you can feel is worthwhile, even if it just frees up a battle rifle for more mobile use. Anything that keeps one pair of hands full has some value. Do not overlook any of those things. Okay, I was rummaging around. This is a side effect of my putting this workbench together. I actually have an increased amount of visible floor now. That has caused me to go digging through other things. And I rediscovered one of my oscilloscopes, which I have spoken of in the past. This is one of the models that is much beloved because it actually has discrete components and therefore can be repaired if it fails. One of the components of this, however, are tubes. There are four tubes in this particular model of scope, and tubes are no longer something that you can purchase at the 7-Eleven on the corner. I remember when we took off, or anytime the television failed, we would pull all the tubes, put them in a shoebox, trot on down to the corner, run them through the tube tester, find out which one's bad, and put them all back in again, and we had repaired the television. Well, those days are long gone. And even the specialty electronic stars, notice that I do not include Radio Shack as a real electronic star. Even the specialty stars have some difficulty coming up with tubes. I went hunting looking around for spares as security blanket spares. And I discovered a site called NERV Audio. NERV like the little things that run all through your body, N-E-R-V-E, audio.com. and these guys have an extensive listing of available tubes. They buy them when they find surplus or pulled service facility tubes or what have you, test everything, and they do offer these things for sale and their prices are reasonable. So any of you guys that have tube short waves or the oscilloscopes, like I have mentioned in the past or any other sort of tube equipment, remember that that stuff, even in the event of an EMP, I don't consider that the highest risk event in the current scenario, but it could happen. Those are most likely to survive compared to your all semiconductor devices, but the tubes still need to be replaced from time to time. That is not an item that you can whittle or blow reliably. with glass blowing equipment. These tubes are available at NERV Audio dot com. You might want to take a look at your tube oriented equipment, see what's in there, make a list of spares that you would like to have on hand. and visit these guys. In my case, these oscilloscopes use a device called a new Vistor. It's basically the final generation of tubes just about the time the transistors are catching on. And you wouldn't look at these things and think they're a tube. They're a tiny little thing barely bigger than a transistor of the day, about a quarter of an inch in diameter, half an inch long. We got some wires on the ends. But, honestly, gosh, that's actually a tube. happens to be a steel tube rather than a glass tube. But that is used in some equipment. They have those. So take a look. NERV AUDIO DOT COM and get your spares while you can. Go ahead. With regards to spares, one of the things you can do also is identify the specific tubes that are most likely to fail. It's usually a troubleshooting system out there that will allow you to identify either the rarest tubes or the most common to fail tubes in that particular system. If you're ever able to follow through on that, and it's not that hard to do, most important is to make sure that you prioritize purchasing of specific tubes. If you wonder what tubes are in there, just look at the owners and service manual. If you don't have an owners and service manual, get busy on eBay. You can probably get your hands on one. There is also a downloadable archive called Bama. B-A-M-A has a lot of equipment manuals. Not everything under the sun, but a lot that you can download in PDF for free. So just Google for B-A-M-A. and you will find that one. If you come up dry then resort to ebay for your manuals, but get those too, you need them. In fact, one of the other cool things, depending on how old it is and how reliable, or how expensive really, typically on the backboard or on the inside covers of many of the radios, you'll find the actual tubes chromatics right there. Again, the biggest problem is, depending on how old it is, whether or not they are still there because of moisture. Other operators, people who did maintenance or decided they were going to do maintenance for you before you got there, in other words it was their radio, the schematic may be missing. But in many cases they tried to make sure that they kept it with the rig. So that the operator, whoever might be doing maintenance real quick, would be able to ID the tube that was necessary. Very often there is a schematic stuck inside by the manufacturer. Sometimes those will turn very, very crispy and brown. Sometimes they will be swept away by somebody tidying up. But you'd be surprised how frequently those are still in there in older equipment. And if they aren't, and you can find one, go ahead and print off a PDF, preferably on a laser printer or a photocopier if you can, so that it doesn't have the the ink moisture problem and stick a fresh one inside there. You never know when you might need it. And again, the one thing here too is if you do have it intact, you're putting and keeping the thing around and you're making up a workbook, try to scan and or copy the schematic and secure it in a second location. Not just in a computer disk. Do a three-ring binder workbook. to secure everything in plastic sleeves or cover it if at all possible. The reason you don't know what kind of conditions you're going to experience or what's going to be going on with your gear, every once in a while stuff happens. And so you want to make sure that you have what you need to keep the equipment running. And in case, it can be an admiral, AMFM radio, AMFM. So, shortwave radio, those I have one of, with a pop-up mercury switch face, which is really cool. That particular one has no back, but fortunately the schematic BK was on the bottom of the radio. So, it was really cool. And it was in that admiral like kind of gray-blue color plastic. The Feds don't like the Arizona law because it is too similar to the federal law. Let's consider most of the drug war traffic laws and everything else are clones of the federal law. Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the top of the hour. We've got dust coming right behind us, but remember Quartermaster, without it, the rest of the military formation, no matter what it is, a militia active army grinds to a halt. Do your part to build up our Quartermaster forces and become part of the solution. That's just lamenting about the problem. God bless the Republic. Yeah, to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, both day and night. Hoorah! Thank you, BK. You're welcome.
