Live 365 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 to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free? The drums head towards the sound of the drums well Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Hernke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, central, west, southeast and north. Well ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, a big chunk of Iowa slash Iowa. They were over there towards Wyoming, the third, and then back over across the Mississippi to Golden Spike Project over there on the eastern half of the country, which includes the restaurant crews, the grammar teams, and all the other people out there that are making things happen, shaking and baking, guys. It is a beautiful Tuesday. Oh my goodness, so soon. Yes, yes, so soon. And that means that for everybody out there, if you get a chance to check out what's going on with the weather, we're right in the middle here in Michigan of, I don't know, it's like, like, null zone. No air, but we've got storms just hanging. The clouds are just hanging left, right, up and down, but they're not going anyplace. And I don't think they will be for a little bit the way it's active. We might get some rain in a couple hours, but right now it's neutral zone. We're like right on the edge of the Federation and the Romulans. So, it is a beautiful, what is the date out there again today? Come on, let's see if we can confirm before going any farther. Mark always does a terrible job on this. As you and I both know, it is the 24th of August, the second year of Fabian Socialist and the Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K, and that's 2010 by Old Earth Calendar. It's been a long day. It has been a long week. Well, it's only Tuesday, Mark. No, no. Our week has just started on Monday. It's just been going and going and going. We don't really get a vacation day, so we're going to probably do that pretty soon here, I think. Maybe take a day or two off. Nah. Then again, stuff that's been going on, there's no option but to press yet. Now. I mentioned people with a sharp ear for radio. Now what we're talking here is being able to read code. I want to emphasize this. If you have somebody who's a good code reader, listener, slash reader, critical that you develop that, provide support, but also make sure that you protect this individual. Once you've got somebody that's competent in that area, it doesn't mean that others can't learn. And in fact, you're trying to develop as many Key capable RO's as possible. We say key, we're talking Morse code. Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep be This is critical because a person who's a 10 year old can just as easily run a key as anybody else, guys. If they can read, they can tap a finger onto a little activator there, a little switch, pop, pop, pop, pop. Then beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, they can get the job done. It's just a matter of whether or not we can put the dots and dashes together. And so remember again a step one, test all of your adults. Step two, get the family involved. The other thing is that especially if people are younger, they get used to the idea of hey, being able to switch on a radio set, put the headset on, let everything warm up and spin the dial there to whatever frequency and wow. CQ, CQ, this is KWA 359 or Echo Echo Fox Tribe. You copy, over. And of course, maybe they'll get a response. So for younger people, it also gives them a little bit of responsibility at a younger age, which helps to develop skills. And of course, also confidence, which is a good idea. You can count on the younger people to be able to do this. They can run the technology. Hey, come on. They're playing with the computers where they are. Radio is nothing by comparison. It's just a matter of understanding another system. And yes, yes, you can tie in the computer. I hate that idea. but you can tie in the computer to the radio system if you're going to do that that's fine but you need to know the basics first that computer may not be there forever it's artificial intelligence it has many different intricacies that can create significant failures the best battlefield computer you have is that one hold on between the years got there be put we have you got time for michigan no way well probably will come jump in there sir yep i want funny we had in Vietnam with Al Gore. At least he was willing to put the green weenie uniform on and head in that direction and he didn't really bulk it. I think he was there politically, personally. I think a lot of them, many of them that showed up, that particular ilk, showed up with another agenda. Had nothing to do with what everybody perceives. And the records go, that's another thing you can't be guaranteed. You can't be sure of. Yeah, well one thing I'm doing is treating my, I'm treating my children, but they're all in love with my grandchildren. I'm teaching them how to should do that with their children. Absolutely. Well, that's one of the things that you know, maybe, you know, I've heard people say, oh, the road was one of the greatest, it's a great movie. Well, you know what, it didn't show too much in a way of inspiration. I'm sorry. If you know, in fact, just to reverse the whole thing was down or certainly at least the guy didn't commit suicide. I will say that that was a plus. But beyond that, there was a little free, but there's so much more that could have been done, you know, that would be and would be done normally would be done. that was not shown because of course the idea is to load so desperate things are so bad one of the things that I wanted to point out about that I don't want to ruin it for you but you know every let's put it this way to disaster movie everybody's hungry okay cannibalism and this is one of the things is tied into this is the whole idea that people are resorting cannibalism and this and any of their cannibalism is not new and I and I've had this conversation a couple times the last couple of days too because we're watching this movie and then this has to do with the idea that In the 1100s in France, the 900s to 1100s in France, cannibalism was rampant. But cannibalism was a societal element. You could go to a county, like the county fair area, like the Saturday or the morning market, no matter what town it was, and human flesh was sold right there. You could buy pork, in theory, beef, in theory, or it was supposed to be. You could buy chickens ducks whatever and there be shank of neighbor right there, too Of course he theory wasn't your neighbor with somebody else now all the others you know ducks geese Whatever would be a rarity you know again depending upon what level of starvation they were at and they were at different times and The poverty was such that they created in France. This is part of the history of the French cuisine was called ash cakes and We're not talking rumpus cakes as in what rhymes with ash. We're not talking about cannibals. We're talking about people who are so desperate that literally they would go into the stove and take the char of the last night's fire. You know how you get like natural charcoal, not the treated stuff like you see that you get in the store. But natural charcoal. And they would grind that up and chew that up with a stone and beat on it with what may happen to spend more calories. I would think I would have thrown grass or anything else in there, but the theory is that they took potash, charcoal and water, and maybe whatever little, like maybe it would be like 4% or 5% wheat, whatever they had in the way of some kind of grain, moldy or otherwise. And they would throw that in and make a mush out of that, and then cook that and eat it. It was called an ash cake. Now, yeah, didn't I? But this is how hungry, but at least, again, think about this. This was filling, it was crude, but it was one of the tricks to fill the system, to fill the stomach up. I think that's coming here because the store's not going to be there. Here, we're kind of spoiled over to death, they say. Well, the thing is it wasn't the only place where that happened. The reason I point this out is, for instance, again, France. Now for 300 years, open cannibalism, open human flesh, being marketed, was a norm. It was open out on the counter, it was hanging by a hook, and everybody knew it. The only thing that changed in France was the fact that all of a sudden an edict was passed that the public selling of human flesh must end. and it was passed by one of the Louis. Now, they followed that order, per se, but needless to say, somebody coming up to the old meat vendor there goes, hey, I'm looking for some of that finger to the side of the nose. Special pork, have you got any of the, you know, that really good special pork, Andy? And the butcher would look to the left and he'd look to the right and he'd give a wink and he'd give him some prices and lo and behold, then, a package of the foot around the side of the counter there and uh... you could take shank of neighbor home but that was that cheaper than callen no people or interesting question their town because there's nothing but what i you know again looking all the writing that i've seen on this which by the way one of the best book uh... just a quick cursory book on the subject is called the history of the french cuisine it is a college level text it's not designed to be a away in any way shape or form antagonistic toward europe you know france or whatever but what's interesting to bring several points forward about the culture and characteristics in history of the in a given the history of the french cuisine uh... chapter three i think is the use of human skulls as uh... drinking mugs goes out of style which obviously it was in style it's like okay well that's a good thing human skulls will not be used as drinking mugs at the local pub anymore okay So, that was one thing. But the thing is that there are comments made by friars and by monks who were all over France. One of the comments was, it got so bad with regard to the desire to eat human flesh, that it was mentioned by one friar that a man's cattle safer than his children tending them in the field. Oh my God. In other words, you could have killed a cow. But instead you grab the child standing there, the 12 year old or the 11 year old and he went off to market. Now there's a couple reasons. Number one, taste choice and also market value. When you ask what would be more expensive, well was it more expensive? Well eventually if it had a value it commanded a greater price. Why is it that tenderloin is more valuable than bacon or whatever? Think about it. So, it works the same way. Now, the thing is, behind the counter, we don't know how long before that kind of faded, per se, but there's still a lot of hinting about that. Now, that's not the only part of the world where we go, yeah, look at all those Europeans. Okay, well then let's look at the Native Americans. And I know people immediately become defensive on this, but here's the thing. Columbus waddled across the Atlantic and kind of miscalculated the distance with regard to, you know, his formulas probably for the size of the earth. So he miscalculated the distance and the time to travel. Because of this, the guys were chewing on their toenails by the time they finally hit land. And of course they were ready to mutiny, remember? And in fact there was a mutiny in motion per se when all of a sudden, land ho! So they landed. Well, everybody looked like death warmed over. They looked like scarecrows. They had cool weapons, they had armor, but they still looked like scarecrows or gaunt people in their equipment. And they landed and the natives were very neutral and cordial and somewhat friendly. And they all were looking at the Spaniards when they showed up and they probably kind of poked a bit and thought, not too stringy. So, what happened is, Columbus realized that he was on an island. He didn't serve him any purpose. That wasn't what he was looking for. So, he decides he's going to continue to do more further investigation. To alleviate some of the pressure, he decided to leave behind the mutineers. Basically, he left behind a contingent to create a first landfall fort. It really wasn't a fort. It was just basically a bunch of huts on the beach. And the Indians, the natives, Kind of, you know, said hi and they were cool and they kept feeding them and feeding them and feeding them and they kept feeding those guys and then one kind of quasi early morning hour all of a sudden somebody felt a bunk bunk to his head you nasty grump bunk bunk. and they proceeded to slaughter all of these guys after they fed him for about, I think it was 40 days, took about 40-45 days right around there while Columbus was busy searching for, you know, major landfall or, you know, at least, you know, different islands. He was looking for the gold in the cafe trade supposedly. Well, meanwhile, somebody else had thought about the trade being pretty good. They traded a few pounds of local fruit and fattened up some long pig and then they went to town. I'll let you go Mark. Very good sir, you be careful. Stay healthy. The reason I bring this up again is because perception. Understanding the nature of people and how things can work. Is cannibalism a new thing or is cannibalism something unique? No it's not. Is it unique to only a certain population group? No it's not. Has it developed or transpired in more modern history? Yes it has. Now is it looked down upon? Well most societies it is because personally a shank of neighbor isn't exactly your first best choice of ways to win hearts and minds with the people that are supposed to be your fellow countrymen. So the other part about it is kind of like when we talk about the thuggy khal in India. The thugs, the thugs as they were called. Yo, he's a thug. Well that comes from India with the assassins slash thieves that operated in India for hundreds of years murdering whole groups of people. And it's argued that one of the other things they got into was a little flesh eating to a grain gain strong juju. You become stronger by eating the other guy. It again is something that the combination of special cult status plus again getting past the first generation of activity then it becomes the norm, not that it's normal, but it becomes the norm within that particular group and then it may not be necessity so much as it eventually develops. You thought the zombies were bad. Regular old people with a certain hunger and a burning in their eyes could be pretty dangerous all by itself. But mindset, and again understanding we are going to avoid this. The sad part about what happened with France is that initially it was because of crisis, it was because of agriculture, it was because of blight, several other problems developed. War upon war upon war didn't help. Disruption of the agricultural structure, increase in populations, etc. We know all of that. This time around it's purely a matter of malfeasance. You know, example was, you know, they don't show you what the disaster is in the happening, but something. And it's really urgent and it's really bad. And a goryde, of course, you know, part of the way through the movie actually is saying, well, I knew they said it was a scam, but I knew, I knew, implying that it was the global warming crew, see? But wait a minute, this doesn't have anything to do with global warming so much as global warming. Anyway, I'll hop onto another track here before we go too much farther. I mentioned the Yahoo Group page. I want to bring this up again this hour. I know we have a lot of new people that are listening or other people that are listening this hour that don't listen to the first R because they aren't home yet. Guys, for a lot of the answers to problems that you're facing right now, we've had a lot of requests for certain information or data. If you go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, now what's going to take you to is that really, it's really cool. There's a Liberty Tree on the right. There's a guy in a munchkin in the middle and a woman standing there in silhouette and it's in the orange and you know, the fall colors, summer to fall colors. And then if you scroll down here, you'll find there's our reflectors, you know, Tea Party and the Inner Freedom Talk Radio, LTR Video, which is View Flix page, YouTube page, YouTube page, et cetera. There you go. Now over on the right it says Show Archives. And then it says Chat Room. And then there's the one we're looking for. Yahoo! Group. Go to the Yahoo group. Now when you get there you're going to find that there's a number of different options, things to choose from that you can get into. I recommend that you take the time to peruse what it is that is available in the inventory. We have a number of sub subjects. and categories start going through all of them and you will find again this two numbers to mention you'll find something of interest having to do with preparation throughout the whole Yahoo group page and this includes a fact we've also filed manuals assembly and disassembly of weapons so they're the maintenance or service manuals for certain firearms that are right out you know virtually out of the kit that came with a rifle you'll find medical support item you know ideas or or different things that could be assembled, I recommend that you make a copy of the Zapper and also make a copy of the information concerning the colloidal silver generator. Why? Well, if you have that technology on the shelf, you don't have to wait for somebody else to produce it for you. And the more equipment we have out there, the healthier and the more likely your survival is going to be in place when the time comes. You're going to have the resources you need. I don't want to say anymore. The one movie, the one where you're talking about the happening, well you'll see the weak points in it as far as the failings real quick, as opposed to people who truly should be prepared or would be prepared square away and ready to rock and roll. And that is one of the other issues that comes up several times through this whole movie. What would you do? Well, there's some basics and beyond that. More basics and by the way, more basics in our location, what's your point? How hard is that? It's not that complicated so much as repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition. You finish and get to a certain tier, do it again. You finish and get to a certain tier, do it again. Guess what? You're going to increase the level of your insurance policy and you might actually be able to help other people when the time comes. Okay. Now another thing, we were talking about communications the other day with regard to signals. Let's not forget something that everybody has kind of been overlooking, but is typically in almost all your little survival packs that are industrial or you know, made by companies. Whistles. You can use whistles and use code combined at a good distance and it cuts through pretty much a lot of other background noise. Military forces used whistles for that reason. The British always used whistles as a way to control the troops. Remember, boom! Well, if you were not wearing your protection after the first two or three rounds from that 303 British rifle, specialist number five, jungle carbine, oh my goodness! Or a short rifle like a carbine that was using a full battle rifle cartridge. Oh my goodness! an M14 with 23.08 rounds one after another. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, chink. Either way, somewhere between number one and number 20 on that M14 with no earring protection, most of what you're gonna need. So try to get something, the top of that ringing in your ear is kind of critical if we're gonna keep all of our assets alive and functional. Whistles are an effective tool. Now a rattle whistle, especially the police whistles you see, create a very shrill and of course they actually are generated, they're built to work in a certain decibel rate and they're also built to work on the nervous system. That doesn't sound right but it's true. And it is a technology that is easily found on the shelf. You can put it away and seal it. Actually the dollar store, consider out there, we've talked about doing dry good packages. For the toy section of the dollar stores you can get 1, 3, 5, 10 of these little Chycom whistles. So they're 10 cents a piece, all plastic. Well they're not going to rust and they're not going to rot. So being put in storage, they're the optimal item. They're a perfect solution. And again, very crisp. And by the way, the signal code that you use is distinct for you and nobody else. code you're using. You can use that as a call to rally troops or as a signal that you're moving through an area. People will know that that's who they're looking for, that's who they're looking at. Oh, OK, it's Mark. OK, there we go. Or it's Fred. OK, there's John. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Any number of things can be done that are unique and not everybody typically uses. This is a flag or key indicator. Very, very critical when it comes to motion of troops. in an area or trying to rally troops to control them. Once that first is in motion, trust me, being able to shout at somebody or working in a particular range or a tenor with a voice isn't necessarily going to get the job done. Something that people have a hard time remembering. In many cases you actually have to go out and physically get in the face of the person even because of loss of hearing. There are techniques and the whistle is one. Guys you can find metal police whistles laying out there. There are Chinese knockoffs. You can get American or German made whistles. There's a number of other different types that are laying out there. From the jobbers or from the wholesalers or from the surplus dealers that will allow you to actually pick up a pretty decent piece of equipment and put it in your pocket. Now whistles are set up for lanyards. two ways to use the lanyard. The cops use it with the cord hanging as a kind of an ornamental, as a display piece. Whereas on the other hand, if it has a lanyard, but the lanyard is again detached, allows you to use something in a particular area, you don't have to worry about whether or not it's going to be hooked to something or wrap around your neck or whatever and create some other distortion or common problems with travel or being able to respond or move in a certain way. Whistles are cheap. It's one of the other things as far as an item that put in the inventory. Whistles are cheap. I never pass them up. I see one laying around. Somebody's getting rid of a bunch of stuff in the yard sale. Oh, whistles, eh? Yeah, OK, they're all gone. They can be $0.10. They can be a nickel. They can be a quarter, sometimes a little more. Typically, about a quarter or $0.10 a piece. Sometimes they're in the freebie box. Grab them all. Put them away. So again, another idea, and that has to do with signal communications. How do you use a whistle? Well, use your own version of a code or morse code, guys. But either way, you're able to pass the information on. And preferably, if they finally get to the point where on the edge of what's the end of something, wow, whistle helped to rally those troops back up, bring them back together. And you don't have any stragglers that way. Remember, if somebody's hurt and cannot move, only if you signal out with a whistle and you get a whistle return and it's a special code ID but you remember code is the key here you know that all that's one of my guys hope and they're down there injured he or she is laying somewhere so the idea is that they can be identified in a left behind in the battlefield if they're not there if they're knocked out there's no whole lot we can do okay we're going to do what we can to start you know scour in search the area don't forget about that Again, whistles are so simple and ridiculous. We are just past the bottom of the hour and I would remind everybody that we also have our Donate Key right now and the pitch in for those of you who haven't seen it on the main page. The Donate Key allows you to go to our videos, books, or whatever, and that's one way you can help us support LTR to keep the lights on, make sure everything's plugged in. Don't forget that if you do go to any of our other allies, such as our sponsors like Maine Military, when you do call, mention that you heard about them on the Intel report. This is especially critical when it comes to reminding people that, hey, there is some feedback, and it's positive for all you guys that are, you know... all those guys that are out there doing their part actually pitching in sending them at far ends to LTRs to keep it real to keep it running so we're going to do more there we've got a couple of new sponsors that are on the edge right now we'll be getting hold of probably tomorrow and weapons Wednesday and we will be doing what we can to add to the inventory we got a bunch of stuff done it's either labels or just getting to the printer or are taking care of one or two little trinket things before a whole story of other projects are complete. We've got many videos in the can, but we've got to go to a different format to get the videos up on our YouTube page. We are going to be adding extensively here real quick. We've got a bunch of them ready to go. The only other option I'm considering, and this is where we do need some feedback, is We are probably offering a disc with a consortium of the different videos all on one DVD for everybody so you can hard copy off the originals which would be kind of cool. Now we will have to wait and see how many of those we can actually do because there are some other complications involved perhaps but we will see and that is an ongoing project. There we go. Now there are two pitch ins by the way. One is the Altair Live 365 Bill. say once a year bill we pay one time we save a whole lot of money that way which allows us to focus on more money for the monthly issues uh... here you'll see the numbers are very specific easily read if you go to a scroll down you go to the let's start with that very show up on the liberty to radio page you scroll down just a little bit in their history why ltr live three sixty five block And then right next to it, the LTR July format block. And in both cases, it tells you exactly what's going on. It shows you exactly how much we need, where we are, and why we're doing what we're doing. Anyway, the solution is not just lamenting about the problems, and we do have to have solutions there. Now, portable radio technology. One of the things that I will have to mention too is a lot of people are saying, well, you know, the older military radios are obsolete. Well, really? I will point out something about old military radios. Granted, the real stats may have to be cleaned, that's most likely, but otherwise most of the radios that are out there operate and function flawlessly. Remember that there were military pieces of equipment, they were hardened, and they were designed to have the snot beat out of them. And, you know, for instance, the old ANPRC 8, 9s, 10s, ANPRC 77, the ANPRC 20, 25, ANGRC 125. etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. All of these still have very much military and militia emergency operations application. They are, again, weatherized and waterproofed in general. This is really a critical issue because most important about that is the idea that when they were doing this, this is older technology. Not likely they let much get away. Of course, the biggest problem is you've got to be careful with battery packs. Or you may have to improvise battery packs depending on how old the radio is. The A and PRCH 9s and 10s are right now battery available. And that would be FAIR radio at FAIR radio dot com. And what's interesting about it is that they've got a whole lot of odds and ends items. You almost have to call down there to see if you have a radio already, but you need antennas or if you need flexible mount bases, or if you need a new headset or replacement headset. Maybe not new, but a replacement headset. Or maybe something you want to be able to beat around. Give them a call down there and the guys will let you know what's happening. And Fair Radio are the people to contact. FairRadio.com. The other thing about the military packages is they were integrated into specific systems. And if you already understand the system, which a lot of you do, operating in GRC and the AM-PRC radios is not a big deal. It's just a matter of following certain policies and procedures when it comes to step-by-step operation, especially with regard to powering up and powering down. Also, remember, don't put a load on something if the antenna is not hooked up. I want you to think any other way. If you don't, don't turn it on if the antenna is not on and hooked up. Now some cases may not require power, but still it's going to require you paying attention. If you don't have something to discharge that load, you can end up with a fatal loop or a fatal feedback situation that's going to toast what little communications you have, and then nobody can come out and help you. So anyway, The NPRC H9s and 10s, they're running about $49.95 a piece. Well, forgive me for all three as a set. The NPRC H9s and 10s were used to create three different radio grids. Mostly they come in sets where there are three of the same or two of the same radio. You have to have at least two so you can send and somebody can listen. But that's not exceptionally critical and a lot of guys buy the radios one at a time. If you do watch for certain problems, check the fixtures to make sure that the screws are original. Knobs, connectors, keepers in that category. A lot of times they only got dropped and flopped out of the back end of the truck or they're already gone. Somebody didn't think to pick them up. He didn't. Somebody here or she didn't see them. This has happened before. And lo and behold, you're missing, kind of like missing teeth when you get to the other end. We can't afford that. Another thing about batteries for these military pack radios, and this is something that is critical to remember, you can improvise battery packs. Years ago for the AMPRC-10, even though we could get mil-spec batteries, the biggest problem is that they were going to be running out. So we immediately started developing and experimenting with smaller radio packs that were civilian, adapting them to the pins and plugging them in. There's no big deal there, it's just a matter of little creativity. Well, most of the technical elements have been pretty well figured out, and I'm pretty sure if you go to our Yahoo group page, for instance, there is some information there on the PRCs, on the radio rigs, and how to improvise batteries accordingly. It's critical again that you be cautious there with regard to improvising, make sure you know what all the pins are for and what's hooked up to what. We don't need to see any fatal loops plugged into the machine and toasting the other end of it. That's not exactly a happy camper scenario. So if you are going to develop batteries or if you are curious about that, go to the Yahoo group, check out some of our database that's there. You'll find some information on the radio rigs. You may even see that one of the schematics is actually laying there. If not, then we may have to add that this week, so I'll make sure of that. But it's something that we had done years and years ago. We don't have to reinvent the wheel. We just have to mate with what's going on there. And truck slash semi-four. technologies especially for radio rigs like this, truck, man-packed, some of four units like signal communications units, whenever they're using this gear, make sure that they're carrying spares, make sure that they're hooked up, plugged in, ready to rock and roll. Most commonly there is people just think to grab the radio pack. If you've got wheel transportation, you grab the spare batteries, you make sure you've got the repair kits with you. If you're going to vehicle mount them especially, put some of the spare part systems on board to actually make up a kit for repair, for batteries. Another consideration with power, this is something most people don't realize, if you have some of the military vehicles, they already have military output supplies already hooked up. Many of the, for instance, M-880s and many of the CUCVs are radio ready. Even the old M725, the M715 M725 trucks were set up for power supply use with the radio systems we're talking about, the AMPRC H9s10s and GRCs, the higher end PRCs to include the AMPRC 90. So they're not orphans in that respect. They actually do have the resources available to build, plug them in from in another direction if you can't afford batteries and you do have whatever's available. Now semaphore units, by the way, another thing to think about, semaphore units, pickets, radio pickets. You've seen it, you know, the guy sitting there with the spy glasses and he's looking down and all of a sudden it's like, co-chiefs is in motion. Looks like half the tribe and he's got a bunch of the warriors with him. Yeah, they're going on a warpath. Maybe he's going to move the tribe and the warriors are going to take off and do some scalping and butchering. Okay, signal the fort and your signal the outpost. Let's get the message back to the fort and you see the guy with the semaphore, you know, standing there with the other guy that's maybe a pony picket and they're sending out the flag signals. Left, right, up, up, left, right, left, left, left, right, up, left, etc., etc., across, back and forth. Well, the same works. We call it semaphore outpost where you use the radios in the same method. for LPOPs but where you're willing to break radio silence. That's a semaphore outpost. LPOPs on the other hand, guys, may be watching something but they may not necessarily pass the information on if it would compromise the position. Their job is to casually monitor. That's what an LPOP does. A femaphore outpost is sending signals is going to be expected to compromise itself because it's the forward eyes and ears. Now this can also be done by the way, I mean we've talked about this this morning again too, Communications Tuesday is televisions or television cameras. They can serve the same purpose but it still takes somebody at the other end then to be watching the inferno to observe the information. a pair of eyes and ears that can at their discretion pick up a transceiver send out a signal connect with somebody with a trench coat who then sends a signal someplace else or moves it on down the line to another person who's sitting there maybe your pajamas and slippers and eventually the message gets to where it needs to be Wow, it works out pretty well. But it all starts with that field unit operating and with individuals participating and doing their part to get the range or best range out of their equipment. Now, going back to the individual, and this has to do with range, is if you're going to be an RO, radio operator, understand and start to delve deep into, boy, like I haven't given you enough homework assignments already today just with this program, delve into antenna theory. Don's mentioned one little trick which is something that's been around for a long time. He's using the fence lines as antenna arrays. But you may have to abandon. Most important is you get to try to capture the, you know, or recover the transmitter. Get the transmitter safe and secure. Everything else could be left behind because it can be improvised. Power sources can be modified. There's just so much out there. Wall warts, you know, to vary the input, etc., etc. There's any number of systems there. uh... but also for instance antenna if we lose the uh... with and and we are for you to get with the uh... wire and tenon put it in point in place it was actually designed to be abandoned if need be in place that's something the most of the real idea there was you know we don't want recoil everyone every every foot a wire typically of course we would do it if we could well it'll be our mission to try and recover everything we can but traditionally The equipment could be left or abandoned in place and used again later or abandoned without wasting time to recover, but the radio operator was not exposed for any longer period of time than is necessary. He or she would fold up their equipment, fold up their rig, backpack the rig, stow rest of the gear, turn around and un-arsed the AO as quickly as possible in a complete mobile configuration. Again, as semaphore units, You also have to, obviously, be prepared to be mobile because if you give a particular signal or report, one of the most common problems you're going to have is getting the information out to where it needs to be, but then getting yourself out of the target area of activity because once you've lit up your radio, or once you've lit up your signal communications technologies of any kind, and put a lot of power behind them, you've put a flag up to identify your location. Pickets are supposed to do that. Radio pickets, slash semaphore pickets, have that mission. It's expected that they should be mobile enough that they can abandon or leave the position immediately upon sending the signal. In some cases, they may be actually abandoning in process while they're sending the last signal or the priority signal, and they're already heading down the road. And for that reason, what we need to do is remind everybody accordingly that they need to have appropriate transportation when the time comes. Anyway, we have on that note that cares for covered pickets, forgive me. Actually, part of this came from a letter request and I don't have the other list right here in front of me. But with regard to radio pickets, another consideration is not only just abandoning the antenna mount, but also throwaway transceivers. Now, in this case, they don't even need to, we don't have to be receivers. All they need to be is transmitters. If you know that you are going to be sending out a signal and you've already done a test on the signal, you can use a one-sided transmitter, transmitter only, and then destroy the equipment or leave the equipment in loop and operation in place with very much the intention of even putting a time destructive device on it. That's been done before. One of the things that if you might recall here a couple years ago when they were talking about keystroke control and this and that and the other and you know monitoring stuff, guys were putting little thermite packs on their hard drives. You remember this? And the neat part about this was that with a little thermite pack on the hard drive, if somebody fiddle farts with it and tries to do something with it, well the thermite is activated, starts to burn, and there's nothing that's gonna stop it. Once it's started, it's going through the hard drive and it's not coming back. The same can be true with your radio rigs. So there's another dimension for a combination of operational security and, you know, signal, you know, slash signal security and physical security of the operators. We've got to be able to get the operators and technicians out of the line of fire. Two ways to do that, shut the equipment off and or use deception. to keep the bad guys at bay or at least keep them interested in something that has nothing to do with the reality of the day. So there's again another dimension that has to be added to the battlefield with regard to signals and signals communications personnel. Anyway, we are headed towards the top. It is, oh my goodness, it's already 10 minutes to the top of the hour. We have here transport with regard to trucks. I'm going to back up a little bit on that too because I wanted to touch on this. Guys, back in the day, and for all of our militia units, we're already doing this to a degree. In fact, some of the units are working on, we're working on this project this last weekend, as a matter of fact. It tied up a lot of people with some problems that they experienced. You know, proposing the idea and accomplishing some things, you know how it is when you're working on something, if it can go wrong, it does go wrong. But that's just a matter of installation issues. rat rigs or the use of certain vehicles as disposable radio rigs. Disposable, well all combat vehicles are disposable. You have to assume that you're going to possibly lose that piece of equipment. Disposable transport or disposable signal communication support. Guys have trailer the equipment. They have, we use trailers, we use bread trucks, or it's UPS type moving vans. the local ones that you see, like the big brown ones. Okay, for those of you who aren't familiar with the bread truck, you might remember UPS and how big their trucks are in that size range. Or taking a sedan and stripping it down on the inside and reconfiguring it into a radio rig, a radio vehicle. It's not that hard to do. And the advantage of that is that, again, inexpensive small target you could hook everything up to it leave it permanently on the vehicle you're not going to worry about i got to drive my car my truck tomorrow i got to take everything off no you want something you can commit to and put everything on board it's sitting there ready to go or at least ready to be carried away or driven away if it's carried away if the MP creates problems with the vehicle but one way or another it's uh... ready to rock and roll again ready to be used So, we need to have everything structured accordingly to support operations and the next step in field communications in this area for most of you. If you're going to be hooking up, for instance, truck systems, you want redundancy. You want, in fact, I like to have a second system on standby sitting there. Now, that can be expensive if it's a two-meter or if it's some of the higher-end UHF and VHF equipment, understandably. But if you've got a watering hole in a source where somebody's got a whole bunch of this stuff coming out because it's the last generation and companies are buying the latest, you'd be amazed at what you can pick up and actually acquire backups for. Now another thing to think about, we're not worried about whether or not the bad guys can hear us. Okay, if we are, for instance, we decided to stick with analog. In fact, granted it's not that big a deal for them to intercept and piddle with whatever you're doing with an analog system. But digital is the big thing right now, so analog is laying around everywhere, guys. Analog technologies are readily available, ultra inexpensive, and allow us to expand dramatically our programs in many, many areas. Let's go with a sub-example, something I was talking about earlier. You want to do a security camera. You want to do wireless. And log wireless is still the cheapest out there right now. There's lots of older equipment. And by the way, the monitors that you need to monitor the signal from your wireless to regular television, how about just about free? In fact, the small televisions that we see today, you'll notice I've mentioned these several times last week and I keep emphasizing this because eventually they're going to run out. There's only so many out there. We want to capture them before they're destroyed. But these little five-inch televisions, most of them have RCA jacks and connectors already that position, you know, connector points on them. They are, for all practical purposes, ready plug and play security monitors. So, with a little 5 inch television, a little Sony of your own kind of stuff, or it could be anyone, it could be young king and young ball and Paul time buying guy, it doesn't make any difference. The basic system is all made by the same company or has been ripped off and stolen by the other company from the original company you're also familiar with. The big thing is just plug it in and make sure it powers up. If it doesn't, hey, I wouldn't throw it away necessarily because there's spare parts for another one. If yours is pretty but it's got a problem with an internal, That's a whole lot of spare parts keep the next one going that might be damaged or may have been tossed on a window or it may have been thrown in with a bunch of other junk at the yard sale like in the dollar or grab box. Well, there's parts missing like little pieces of plastic or this and that and the other. You'd be amazed what you can pull off the one wreck to make the other system work. Yeah, very simple. So anyway, solutions not just lamenting about the problems. Last but not least, back to now the vehicles with regard to trailer mount fixtures. It's amazing how much you can actually store but remember PVC and iron pipe are your friend for most of the construction you're going to be doing. If you're going to be doing antenna mass, iron pipe is one option but remember that PVC schedule 80 is much more rigid, much more stable when it comes to building things. So if you see stuff like that in the landfill or somebody is thrown in the construction dumpster and they get a whole bunch of schedule 80 gray, that's the gray stuff. In whatever size, as far as like half inch, three quarter inch, or one inch pipe, grab it. There's too much that you can do with it to again help gain height. Height is everything with signal communications. You need to be higher with whatever you're going to be transmitting. When you are in the field, these mobile units like the trailers, the pickup trucks or whatever, again, look to adding to the arsenal with regard to range. The farther you can reach, the more likely you'll monitor something you may have needed to hear that the bad guys are trying to get away with. If you are trying to get out there, height means you can see farther or actually you can communicate farther over the horizon. And that's really what our goal is. In some cases to reach maximum distance with certain systems. These are strategic. With the niche that we're just talking about, especially with the rat rigs, although they will have tactical application, their primary issue is to connect with and link with other parts of the grid when the time comes off of their own equipment. Rather than waiting or hand me down or trying to pilfer something or trying to improvise, well, if you have your own technology, you've already got it in hand, you've already purchased it. You know, you didn't buy it to be a collector's item. At some point it's got to be plugged in and used. So start experimenting, start testing, and then apply accordingly. We're almost at the top. Oh darn, this is one other package. And forgive me, we're probably going to wait until 8 o'clock. I had one other little package here. It was ready to go. I think my four-footed black panther here to my left probably helped me with this. And if I look around, I'll find where it's buried. But yeah, I'm blaming you. Yes, he's looking at me like who me yeah you anyway Others other other points that should be made handheld communications. I know we've talked about this forever But the little one of the things remember guys people buy kitty GI Joe stuff or little trinket stuff all day for the munchkins and put it in the grab boxes the yard sales or they send it over to the resale shop and The resale shop doesn't necessarily want to have anything to do with the stuff, especially if the kids got hold of it, sometimes the antennas got ganked, sometimes stuff got bent, maybe a cover plate was missing. Guess what? If you talk to your Red Shield or your Salvation Army in any way where they get collections, they collect the stuff. If you ask them and put a box over there, like maybe with your name on it, to put anything in that box that's old radio gear like that and you'll even give them a donation of something or maybe find something to give them as a donation you figure it out, it's up to you. But you make everybody happy, they don't have to worry about throwing stuff in the landfill. It was donated by somebody else, you're going to get a mix but still radios that can talk to each other, they just have different outer boxes otherwise they're the same system. Okay, oh I hear the music. Anyway, the idea is to look to different locations to try and build up the resources you need. Be creative in the process, and again, if you're going to put equipment together, assume if it's battlefield equipment, you're going to lose it, guys. It's going to get broken, busted, folded, spindled, and mutilated. Okay? Just be out of the way when it happens or it doesn't happen to you. God bless the republic, the death of the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run and we're on the march. Spike's coming up next, put a nail on the head of the new world order.
