A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie 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's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. So their children will be both your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children? to live in fear and be a slave. 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 I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist 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 in 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? Dill the land of the free and good evening ladies and gentlemen This is the evening intelligence report time are quirky Larry losses one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines of occupied territories central west southeast and north ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, PBN.4MG.com, and we are live 365 and go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB Bay 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 main chunk. of Nebraska, the third of Wyoming, then across Iowa slash Iowa, back over and across the Mississippi, like the Hulk, and clunk dropping on the other side of the river there, the Blue Ridge slash the Smokies, where the Golda Spike Project is in motion. The Chinese coolies laying track and rail, with many, many high techs and low techs running together and getting the job done to create a replacement for the internet. Well, I'll tell you what, Larry, it's getting darker out here day by day. We're losing that sunlight, but what is the day today, sir? It's the 24th of August, Tuesday, 2010 AD. And it's a beautiful gray, hazy day. Actually, it's funny, exactly what I suspected. We're between or in the middle of what is a major pressure front that's just sitting. We have no wind. You go down the road about a mile and a half and there's a pitter of rain. It's a very fine, constant pitter of rain, but it's not moving. It's been there. This whole front has sat here all day like this since before noon. Gray looks like it wants to rain. All directions it looks like we should be storming. But it's straight down. Wherever it is, it's only in that spot. It's stayed right there. It's not moving from any of the area. We're not seeing any shift in this. One part of little dextropolis, this dextre has got rain, the other half does not. Very unique weather condition here today. And I've been out all day just about and it has not changed. But anyway, it's Communications Tuesday. I want to touch on a couple of the things here tied in. We talked about Larry the first, well the earlier hours. One of the things I touched on was what we call semaphore or pickets, semaphore spotters. Now a semaphore spotter with a radio is not like an LPOP. LPOP is contrary to what you see in all these movies, is supposed to shut up, be quiet, stay in place, and collect data. Even if there is something happening in front of them, they are first of all such a small and significant force. Typically, their job is purely to collect and to monitor 24-7. A three-man team is typically assigned, but they may have other men involved. And still, remember, they've got at least a three-man team because of a 24-hour clock. Well, a semaphore LP, or Listing Post Observation Post, has a very different mission. It is a sonar ping. It's a flag. It's designed so that when a monitor is something, it sends out a signal slash warning order. This means that the equipment can be run in a number of different ways, but let's remember that even as you send out the signal, immediately you are compromised. So the position is abandoned immediately. Now I mentioned something that we've talked about before on the air over the years, which are transmitters, not transceivers. purely transmitters that are cannibalized or scavenged from other pieces of equipment or technology. And these can be left with a number of different options with a, for instance, a repeat, an auto repeat. Now, their digital area is to the point where you can talk into a single chip and it has anywhere from a few seconds to even minutes or many minutes or even hours nowadays. But the cheaper lower end had about one minute to five minutes of time on board with a simple circuit. Now, you make the statement of who, what, where, when, or with direction, and hit the press to talk, or you should say the permanent press to talk, and the report is going out on loop. Now, this is a bullet magnet. In other words, everybody on the other side is looking for spikes, slash, hardcore signal communications that they can shoot at. Well, that's the purpose behind this. So the spotter, or spotters, if they identify something and send out the warning signal, have to already have a pre-planned evacuation route. That means they're already planning escape and evasion out of the area or exfiltration out of the area once they've used the site. So, one of the other considerations is even a short time in delay before transmission takes place. In other words, you're packed, you're ready to run, or you're already a hoplite infantryman to begin with with just whatever disposable gear you're going to be leaving behind you're going to set for destruction. The radio transmitter, or sending out the signal, will also typically have some form of self-destruct system. There's a number of different timer techniques for instance that kids have been putting on their computers utilizing thermite. Thermite is not an explosive device, it is not a detonating device, it is not anything that is going to be perceived as anything other than a The activating tool. So the cool thing is, it's not going to cause a lot of our problems or anything else in the area. It's not a booby trap. Although people are using them as such. You know, a mess with somebody's computer, automatically the thermite charge goes off and it fries the hard drive, cooks right through the hard drive, welds it together. Anyway, a little thermite charge, just a small cube, literally so small that most people wouldn't even think it'd be a chunk of an odd red sugar cube. That's enough for dealing with neutralizing the transmitter as an option for somebody else to be able to use later or to fiddle with. The other point is that the loop transmission is again flagged. It is a flash, flash, flash, repeat, flash. And then the specific signal, the information is being given out, and the individual's already down the ridge and heading down the next valley and is preferably taking advantage of all covering concealment to not expose oneself to enemy observation. So a semaphore picket can serve as a far or an advanced forward observation post, but it is an aggressive, and very different from a conventional LPOP, it is an aggressive observation post. only in that it will expose itself, its position, its location, and it's designed to get the word out fast. Other LPOPs are designed to collect passive intelligence, bring it back, allow for the intel analysts or command group to actually evaluate the information and then process accordingly. And again, the LPOPs are not to compromise themselves. Their job is to exfiltrate out without contact. If they make contact, the objective is to break contact as quickly as possible and proceed to deliver the timely information that you just spent the last anywhere from 24 to 72 hours collecting. Otherwise, it's a wasted trip, wasted food, and wasted time in general. So that's the basic rule between LPOPs and a semaphore LP, or LPOP, depending on the system. The other thing to remember about communications, mechanize. Something you'll see Larry all the time in movies is, well I'm gonna switch to Channel B and they're fiddle farting with a transmitter and no one transmitter does everything. There's a problem with that guys. You see a lot of times, first of all in combat, the old pucker factor has gone up so high you can't drive a needle up somebody's hind end with a sledgehammer. That's an old axiom that really, really, really is true. Because of this hyper-tension, fanatic response on the part of individuals is overreaction in a way, even though they don't think they're doing that, there's a lot of extra calories and energy flying around. rather than a single transmitter, which is quite economical, of course, and if you're a government trying to, you know, screw everybody for every tax dollar they can, of course you're going to try to make one widget do everything and then fail in the process. They don't mind that, and for all we're expendable. But on our side, a dual tier of signal communications in a mechanized or a fast attack group, everybody talks about, I'm going to be using the right patrol, I'm going to be using special forces, I'm going to be, well, however you look at it, if you're going to be using signal communications at all, One of the things to remember is tiering the communications grid. Close tactical communications from vehicle to vehicle is so that you, the field unit commander, can manage once contact is made. In other words, it's kind of a dead giveaway when bullets are flying and you've got, you know, along the side of say the front glacis plate. I'd be willing to bet everybody knows where you are. And they know that the rest of your friends are there with you. So, breaking radio silence is purely a matter of, you know, for command and control. You know, number one, about 500 feet, your front, steady fire, number two, covering fire, number one, Roger, copy that in motion, Roger, copy that, cover fire, response, response. Anyway, the point is that that grid, if you start switching out, you're going to be losing, you know, interactive communications if you use one transmitter to do everything. So, one set of transmitters are constantly on the battle frequency, typically in a totally unique bandwidth. And that can depend upon what you have available. It can be regular combat tactical radios. It can be CBs. It can be FM radios modified with new crystals to go off into other odd frequencies. It can be any number of different improvised pieces of equipment. That's not a problem. But the next tier, Command element, let's say your group, the team leader communicating with other elements of a cooperative series of formations, have a separate command grid frequency that is used to confirm activity and to respond to requests, etc. for assistance, things of that nature. Now, the advantage of this is in one ear or a headset as in a helmet or an arc over headset, Mark can be listening with one earpiece like he is right now. Hear that tap tap tap tap. But in the other I can actually take a second headphone and be talking, hit mute on my command set, still be listening to the battle chatter. and can be responding to single communications from any other cooperative groups that I might have to speak to if I'm going to break radio silence in that direction. The whole point is that I have two tiers. Now, even if something's happening, if I'm responding instantly, if there is a real and new threat taking place and it's reported by one of my team members in another vehicle, I'm able to very quickly respond. I'm going to ignore what's happening at the command in here until such time as that thread is dealt with because on-time delivery, instantaneous bullet delivery, means terminal. Okay guys? Oh look, it's a 105 coming in. Boom. Look it's a teh. Boom. Look it's a bre- Boom. See, that's how it works. And in tank battles, contrary to what everybody thinks, the Rat Patrol, all the other cool stuff, sorry guys, the average tank speed or battle speed going in, especially with equal force, no matter which side it is, is about five to six miles per hour. All the real cool video stuff you see, where you see the tanks and the turrets are spinning and bullets are spinning everywhere and all the tanks flying five feet, I always love that one, Larry, the tanks flying five feet off the ground. And everybody that's watching that that's in the maintenance crew is going, Why'd they have to do that propaganda shot? Man, we're going to be wrenching for five weeks. Yeah, I know how. It's okay. Don't worry. We're getting paid. They're giving us new parts for old Fred, number three there, because she's fragged anyway now. See, for 60 years, they've done propaganda pictures showing flying tanks. Does everybody understand that? back when we made the first Stewart's or even the original M5 Stewart tanks. We just had to do that jumping off the sand ledge, you know, 10 feet off the ground and springing on the ground and driving ahead. Now ask any tanker if he actually did that in combat. He'll tell you, cold day in hell. Now again, we did it after World War II with the light tanks and media, all of them even showed APCs. We got every vehicle, one time or another, flying tanks, right up to even with the Abrams, etc. Now that looks really cool, but the reality is, if you ask anybody even in Desert Dust 2, the adventure continues. All the people that sped into combat were the ones that had to call for help and were bogged down and shot to stock, like at the Battle for the Bridges. Contrary to what everybody thinks, the movie is not like reality. It's like reading the book for Black Hawk Down and then watching the Farsar fiasco known as the movie. When you read the book, you get the reality. When you watch the movie, you see the rah-rah with all the propaganda plugged in. You know, the rah-rah instead of the way the world really worked. So that's one of the things to think about here when we see all these whiz bang whistle toys and in their perfect state too. Nobody's ever plugging rounds down range on them. They're always conveniently running out there and engaging that convenient, oh, one inch steel pop up target or moving target, but that moving target along with its buddies just never seemed to be shooting back, which is kind of a distraction. If you're a tread head, as anybody would acknowledge too, you've got to start thinking and interacting. Signal communications is the key to that. Fast attack groups can work just as well as heavy armor. In fact, it was already proven and then the army made it disappear. Why? Well, because if somebody can field a whole bunch of Doom Buggies at about $4,000 apiece and put a whole bunch of armament on board that can knock out an Abrams, a T-90, or a French AMX, well, it really puts a hole in your budget. and really, you know, puts a wrinkle in your panties because everybody keeps smacking you down and smacking you down and you're buying all these big toys and they keep burning on the horizon and the guys in the little vehicles just keep getting away. That was already proven and demonstrated. So the commander was fired that developed the technology and the equipment was made to disappear, either scrapped or sold on the open market. We bought a bunch of it so we know exactly what the vehicles do because we run them now. Anyway. Signal communications. This communications Tuesday. There's a lot more we want to cover, but I wanted to follow over from the last couple hours on that. The semaphore picket is critical even to those formations because the semaphore picket is kind of like the storm crow. The job is if they see if a major formation, a major force, aviation, or ground asset is in motion, the semaphore picket's job is to send out the call. and to get the hell out of the line of fire because whatever's coming is probably a steamroller. And we're not going to slug it out face to face. We're going to come in, slip their sides, cup their belly, jab at their groin, and then poke them in the hind end in the process. And while they're bleeding in 15 different directions, walk up and smack them in the back of the head. That's how you're supposed to fight. That's how it's supposed to work. And that's how you'll make it work if you've done everything right. Another thing about two-tier communication is having them on totally different, you know, bandwidths and frequencies is best. This is where you start getting to the differences between VHF, UHF, between AM and FM in general, which is another option. Remember that AM is long wave, it's going to reach farther. FM drops off fast, this is why the military started to go to FM because FM meant that there was a quick drop off so that when you have many, many, many different transmitters, transceivers, In operation, they're not cluttering each other's radio. It's one thing to have Fred and Bill and Bob and Jimmy and Frank, it's another thing to have 25 or several thousand times that out in the field and everybody's thinking they want to use their radio as a telephone. That isn't going to happen. Another thing on that note, batteries, batteries and batteries. Also, solar power. Why are you not carrying solar recharging systems? They are dime a dozen today. There are some really nice units that are between $10 and $20. They clip into your kit anywhere. They can be riding on top of the APC. They can be riding on the Doom Buggy. They can be on the back of the pickup truck. They can be in your little, you know, Chevette, switched over to a mini pickup truck because you cut the back end off, etc., etc., etc. However you're going to do it, solar is one of those options. Anyway, Larry, I know we've got a lot of the cover wells going on here in the neck of the woods, sir. Well, to chip in on the battery thing, you go to BePrepared.com, which is emergency essentials. They used to, and I believe still have a battery charger. It's a little enclosed unit, a solar cell on it. It's got a meter. We'll charge up to four different kind of rechargeable batteries. AAAs, AAAs, Cs, Ds. I don't believe the nine volts, but it's solar. It's designed just to be The batteries in there put out in the sun, even if it rains in units and closed. Again, $20-$25 plus shipping. Down here, it was kind of an interesting day with the clouds. You were talking about the clouds overhead today. I noticed that they're heading, looks like they're heading backwards the usual direction. They seem to be coming from the northeast down. Instead of from the northwest like they normally do, they're coming in from Illinois. it's odd it looked like uh... we should have got rain all day but of course nothing ground completely dedicated everytime any cloud covers coming in we always get chemtrails uh... heavily done so we're in the uh... where the time of their driving that by believe i mean the ground totally dry crumbly uh... you know the ability to water your garden you know the plan to get a croak off on it i've got some broccoli Broccoli and cabbage has started. I'm going to try and put a greenhouse on my building this year. Sniffling right now because allergies are so bad, it's so dry. You know, a lot of pollen in the air here toward the end of the summer. Again, you can concentrate on some cooler crops, peas, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower. That type of thing will grow well for the next couple of three months. They will take light frosts. Again, they are able to manipulate the jet streams with the harp antennas there in Alaska. Weather modification being done with chemtrails and harp. If they decide to hit us with a northerly cold snap, all of a sudden your tomatoes and peppers you got out there could get an early whack. Be ready with plastic or cover. You can extend your growing season. You've talked about hot boxes before where you simply construct the wood frame with glass around plants. You can extend the growing season. I'm literally going to try and throw a greenhouse together and move plants into there just before the cold weather hits. We'll see how successful I am at that. I've got some peppers and other plants that are in five-gallon buckets. Cabbage, broccoli, that type of thing. I will try to move those into the greenhouse as the weather chills off. We'll just see how much success I have. This will be the first year we're trying that. One of the things we're going to do on the garden by the wheel area we've already decided is we've got one of the greenhouse frames that we've used as a quancet. That's going to be disassembled here shortly. And what it's going to do is we shift it over to the garden and we're going to box in and want to see just exactly how far leaving in place with all the other support equipment plugged in, how far can we run that with a combination of our solar and just simply making sure that we've got enough moisture there. We've got the high rise, the mini water tower that I've had in place for a couple years now. And so I've got the ability to put water in place, have that, run that until it looks like it's going to be a problem with freezing, drain that out, and then switch over to internal just water cans, doing water canning. But I want to see how far we can run the beans, because the beans here have done phenomenally well this year. Nancy has done a couple of the breeds that we really like, we've had good production with. Well, they went monster this year. The weather has been wet. It has not been super, we haven't gotten any dry here yet. We are not going to probably see dry until September by the looks of it. If we even get that, I think we're gonna run green until the fall rains is what I think is gonna happen here. The farmers are happy because they've been getting wheat up, you know, forgive me, not wheat, but hay and straw up the geegee cutting wise. And they're just now running the Southern fields here. They plowed them this last week. So we're cycling that out. So it's interesting, we got a mix. We got more of your moisture that you were talking about last year. Like it's shifted north. That's really what it's like for us. So again, the... But it's odd watching the trees. I mean, we've had so little rain and the forecast for the next two weeks showed no rain. The trees literally start drying out and the leaves come down a little early. You can actually see the leaves kind of skeletonized and, you know, we're getting them falling early. Just like we have the past couple of years when it dried out this bad. Now one of the other things here too once we start looking at situations like this number one some interesting things for the garden There's this new plastic It's not that brand new but there's a lot of it showing up here at our end now where they're using it for external trimming on the houses and it's a plastic wood it's plastic I mean but it's got a fake wood grain on one side smooth on the other and you can have the option to flip it one way or the other depending on how you want to use it you can go with the wood grain or you can go with you know the smooth side But it's in panels, it's in every geometric square or rectangle you can imagine. And you need to watch the construction sites if you have anything going in down there, especially with condos, because they'll use this quite a bit with the condominiums I've noticed. And what you've got is some really nice material that's not going to rot, isn't going to break down. No, I still get some mold on it, but that's not a big deal. But for the greenhouse, I can see this as a solution for some of the other structures and stuff that we've traditionally been doing in wood and we have to replace every so often. It's going to be an interesting test to see how it works. We're not throwing any of the wood away. I've got a whole bunch of cedar slats that are going to be going into being used for trellises for next year for the garden, provided everything goes the way it's supposed to. It doesn't. Oh, well, it might be firewood in the meantime. Or it might be firewood, because we never see any more green again in our lives. But planning ahead for the future, we're going to have to look at dealing with that. With a drawing like that, canopying with a greenhouse, one of the greenhouses like we've posted on the web page for a long time. I've been talking about this on our YouTube page. might be a solution and then either misting or drip method for going right to the plants because that is the only option. If we start getting to this point, water conservation means focusing the water so we're not watering the weeds, which I think is another, you know, the drip hose method or whatever we got, you know, we have on hand. The other technique is to actually take whatever cheap plastic hosing and one of the places you can get a lot of this, in fact, one of our allies may be listening tonight, He might even have a bunch he could get to you, Larry. Is the hose used for, to get miles and miles of this hose used for the pop machines at special events. It's a white, you know, wrapped plastic. That is, actually it's got a filament through it, so it's actually quite resilient because it's under pressure. But it would make great line with little holes, pinholes, cut where the plants are, to use for drip line. for actually applying right to the plant area and then using just a gravity feed, not even under pressure. That technique is something they've used over in the Middle East for decades as long as they've had pipe and plastic available or pipe and even metal available. That might be a solution especially for the extra dry areas. Yeah, there's a video of the scumbag Israelis actually pulling up all the water lines and the tomato plants that they had over around the, I believe it was in the Gaza area. These people are just unbelievable stuff. Yep, disgusting. Well, the important thing here is guys, solutions, because what we're going to have to look at is, okay, so they're going to try and modify something or whatever they're going to do. What can we do to contain and create an environment that is ours that allows us to continue to produce? Now, another trick that I mentioned the other day that we need to recall is everybody worries about grow lights. In fact, people worry about grow lights because remember the Goobermans watching, who's buying grow lights because you're probably doing dope? Well, here's a little trick they don't want you to think about because then you have to just watch fluorescent lights in general. One cold white and one warm white, a warm white four foot fixture, you know, a double bulb fixture, 240 waters. In the same fixture are basically all of the grow light spectrum. without buying a special lamp, remember this, one cold white and one warm white side by side. You got these cheapy Chycom fixtures, Larry, now that are, you know, dime a dozen. I mean, you can buy them for so cheap, it's ridiculous. Right. Of course, soon they'll be the price of our original American ones that were, you know, really built well-built. uh... they're flimsy they're lightweight they're great for the greenhouse to you won't cry of something happens to them but using a couple of these an inverter a battery pack etcetera you have the lighting if need be uh... to transits uh... any of the other problems that might occur with regard to lack of lighting or to extend the growing period you know to expand it into the evening hours That's something that's again an option for growing and to accelerate the growth program. Plants don't really need to sleep per se, because they'll sleep when they feel like it. Rest as they feel. They don't have any cycle like that that will be detrimental within a 24 hour period. This is a trick that's been used for a long time with two things, plants and fish. Most people don't realize fish can be used, the same thing can be done with fish. Fish typically, especially northern fish like we have here in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, typically sit so many months under the ice. If you put them in a fishery and you apply lighting 24-7 that's all consistent and natural lighting, you end up with a fish that grows faster. because typically they go dormant during the winter months. But if you put them into a controlled environment and you give them nourishment and you give them light 24-7, 365, you have a fish that grows that much faster in that shorter period of time. Same is true with the plants. So another solution is for especially lighting. And there's a reason that we've been talking about this is the idea that We're going to have to improvise, adapt, and overcome. Available materials simply might not be there. You might be able to get hold of fluorescent tubes that people are tossing out because the 40 watt fixtures are no longer politically correct, which is fine. You may be able to get the tubes because people are tossing them out because they're not going to go with the four footers. It will go with something smaller. Or they may go with a different lighting system. That's fine. Don't ever correct them. Just take everything they want to get rid of before it goes to the landfill. That's the most important thing. I've gotten many of these four footer fixtures for free because people have installed them and then taken them out because somebody told them they needed something else or they've decided that they were too flimsy which I understand and they've decided to trade them out for something else which is fine. So again if you watch, this isn't going to happen forever. As this depression progresses things aren't going to be thrown out. In fact already in the last year what's being tossed out has changed dramatically. The extra tools, the machinery that we used to see a year ago, well, there's two ways to look at it. Number one, there's only so much to throw out, so the bathtub is eventually drained. The other is, people aren't willing to get rid of it because they can't afford to anymore, so where before they were frivolous, now they're being a little more conscientious. So there's where the balance is. So anyway, other problems that are cropping up that are, you know, again, solutions to the problem. What are the carrots looking like down there where you are? Well, I can't say, Mark, I'm in the middle of the woods and I usually don't do carrots or radishes, root crops very well or easily. I do some potatoes, they grow about medium sized, but I don't really do the root crops. I kind of kind of strain on tomatoes, peppers, some of the brassicas, broccoli, that kind of stuff. My problem here in the middle of the woods is things go tall. It kind of takes my pepper plants toward the end of the summer before. They start producing fruit. They're very tall and I do get some halfway decent stuff on them, but it is kind of a short period right at the end. There again, that's where canopying to extend the season a little bit longer might be a good thing then. Or being able to transfer them and bucket them and bring them into the greenhouse, or at least a greenhouse, a temporary. This might be an interesting experiment with this year. That's one of the other things we're going to be doing. We've already got everything in place. It's just got 20 different projects going on once. Hopefully we'll get the one done tomorrow. And the greenhouse project may shift the next day, or part of it may shift tomorrow and be already in motion. So I'll have it set up and ready to run. We're going to probably do a little video and photography work on this to put up on Yahoo and on the ViewFlix and YouTube page for that very reason. So another thing to watch. In a shift real quick here before I forget to do we had one other little project that needed to be completed and I was trying to find the packet and you know what I got diverted again forgive me so I may have to wait until tomorrow if I don't find the package right here and I don't think I have it. Well okay we're gonna have to wait on that so patient one more day. Larry, another thing that I found, field phones. I mentioned this the other day and I promised that we would put this up on the air. We've done this once in the morning, we've done it this afternoon, and we need to do it this evening. So if everybody holds their horses for just a little bit, Swedish field, you know, Swedish will start to be sounding like the Swedish chef in no time once you get hold of these things, as we know. But these are a virtually new field phone these things are rated it's very rare larry that you hear the term perfect with used and when you do it means that really there they're not used are just like surplus but somebody opened up a couple of an ad sitting on the shelf because you have to have so many out for surplus service and uh... what's interesting is these things are excellent condition they have all the accoutrements they're virtually new in the box or like new in the box and A lot of people have been asking for a short-range or intermediate communication solution. That's what we have here. So, hold on. So that's standard Army field phones? Yes, these are, in this case they're NATO, but they're Swedish. And one thing I will point out, Swedish, Norwegian, and Swiss, though they're not next to each other, well, Sweden and Norway are next to each other, but Switzerland is nowhere near, obviously, the other two, per se. It's got a few countries in between, guys. The standards in quality and material are phenomenal. And that's something that we've tried to point out before that they don't do anything cheap and they don't export this stuff. This is built for their own troops. In this case it comes with a headphone, the regular handset, but it also comes with a headphone and voicemitter set where you have a little light duty, a little more helmet friendly, you can actually leave it hooked up, the straps to the head, and when the time comes just plug it into the set and away you go. But they're standard field phones, I'm going to read the description here so everybody understands what we were talking about before. These are Swedish Ericsson, that's E-R-I-C-S-S-O-N. Swedish Ericsson, Fuel phones and they are worth a leather carrying strap the box for the phone measures 10 inches by 7.5 by 3 inches of the same size the US set These are in a ballistic case though. They're not in a soft case like the US one there you see them in canvas These things are in a actually a shielded box really nice one with a top top cover comes off the straps still stay attached and and everything hooks up inside the way everybody's pretty well familiar with field phones where they work. These are new or used perfect. And I will repeat again, you've been very seldom do you see the term perfect used as a rating because it's something you've got to stand by. The weight is nine pounds per unit. That's where the cost is in shipping. Okay, it's going to be, you want to find the best rate you can from the best service you can. Takes a U.S. D-cell battery, one. Okay, should take one. Hopefully it might take two, but I think it says just takes one. Anyway, here are the prices. Special lots of four phones, 1675 each. That's $16.75 per phone. Special lots of 10 phones, $14.75 each. And if you want to get a bunch of friends together, lots of 50 phones, $12.75 each. This is as cheap as you're going to get. Just remember that shipping is tied into this. Now the company is located in Massachusetts. That will give everybody an idea of location, location, location. Now listen up here and I'm going to give you the contact information so there are no errors made. First of all, this is a special item offering. This is not in the regular catalog for this company. It's something that is sent to me. You guys are going to be able to take advantage of it, but you have to. Now, let me listen very carefully here. Use a business to order this. A company, a store, a pizza parlor. It can be anybody. A surplus store is nice, but it doesn't have to be. You can be a hardware. You can be whatever you are or whatever your business does to order this stuff. Anything, especially if you have a friend that has a store or a business, order it there. Do you get my drift? As everybody understands, this is not a retail outlet, this is a jobber. Now, the item offering, the number is 465524. The item offering is 465524. It is a Swedish Ericsson Field Phone. That's E-R-I-C-S-F-O-N, Swedish Ericsson Field Phone. The address is, well ignore the address, ignore, ignore, forget. Phone number is 1-800-274-7123. That's 1-800-274-7123. And the regular ground line is 508-487. Again that's 508, 87, 14, 11. What else would we need this particular here? Everything else, if you want to check the main catalog for the company out, it is online, it's www.marspec.net. That's www.marspec.net. www.marspec.net. They're a jobber, and again, you will use like a store or a business or get a friend who's got a company or a warehouse. I don't care what it is. That's where you're going to be operating through to order this. Find a friend, sit down with them, figure out who it is you want to organize with. If you can get four phones, it's a good price, a very good price still. But if you get 10 phones, it's cheaper. And if you get 50 phones, it's $12.75 a unit. Now, I will give you the quotes for price, normal price for the jobber price on this. This is not a retail outlet. This is a jobber. At the retail end, the price would double. Everybody knows that. Or triple, because it depends on the formula the store uses. The normal price is $17.50, ignore that. The present sale price, and this is a special lot price, is four phones for $16.75 each. So that's four times $16.75. The next is 10 phones for $14.75 each. That's 10 times $14.75. The last is 50 phones. That's right, lots of 50 phones for $12.75 each. That's 50 times $12.75. You do the math, okay? Again, the contact number is 1-800-274-7123. That's 1-800-274-7123 or 508-487-1411. That's 508-487-1411. You want to use a business or a company, a friend, somebody who has a pizza parlor, somebody who has a gas station, somebody who has a widget shop, somebody who has a knick-knack shop. It doesn't make any difference. But follow my instructions and you will do just fine. I think I am speaking in simple English, so it should be easily understood. Okay, now one more time the special number of the number for this offering is four six five five two four Swedish Ericsson field phone Lots of four 1675 each lots of ten 1475 each that's per phone 50 phones twelve dollars and seventy five cents each so that's 50 times 1275 number one more time one eight hundred two seven four seven one two three and five zero eight 487-1411. They're located in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Everybody says it's on the east coast. If you're shipping anywhere else, they got to figure out shipping. Try to find the best price, the best arrangement you can. And UPS may not be that. Okay, I don't trust UPS anywhere, you can throw infected junk. But anyway, there's a solution, and it's an excellent one. For the price, and once you see these, there are no pictures. I couldn't find a picture of them in the regular catalog, so that should tell you something right there. But there's something that was a new offering. These things are heavily engineered, as is expected, with the quality of the Swedish gear or the Norwegian equipment. And it's NATO standard gear. It looks to be about 60s, maybe early 70s production, I would assume. Maybe as late as the early 80s. But very high quality, very well constructed, and the rating in and of itself tells me right off the bat these are new. They may be newer still than I'm guessing. I'm just giving you my experience that high quality, but still, you know, again, strategic reserve equipment. The Swedes are selling a certain amount of gear as they upgrade to the next family of stuff that they're purchasing. They're switching not because they necessarily want to, but to integrate with other junk NATO equipment that's being forced upon them because of the EU. That's the problem. They've got to try and integrate under UN's, under UN's. Well, it is UN2. But under EU obligation, they have to upgrade their NATO resources so that they match and blend with the rest of the forces out there. That's the only reason that this is happening. So, otherwise I don't think they'd sell these things because they don't. They wait until the very last. Now, other than that, Larry, I'm pretty busy otherwise, and I'm looking to see if there was any other communication stuff that was offered from the same site. And I believe there was. Go ahead, anything else you got from that in please? And speak. There was somebody else. Somebody else got a call? Oh, did we get a caller? Yeah. You didn't hear the beep. No, we didn't go ahead. This is Bolinko from Northern Idaho. Hey, Bolinko. You talked about CB's alternative communications, but you rarely mention FRS and GMRS. Is there some... Oh, no, it's just for most of our people, they're probably not going to get into that. However, it is certainly an option. It is the direction ahead. For a lot of our people, if they're going to be a little more sophisticated out of the box, As you and I know there's a lot of other technology out there, but the idea is to bring everything up to a certain level of resource first and then we can get off into another direction. Go ahead, please. Oh no, I just bought FRS and GMRS radios quite some time ago and my family was skiing so they could be in communication with each other and they were more convenient for, I don't know, maybe patrols rather than... the larger CBs. But you've rarely mentioned those and I thought there was something detracting or inconvenient about them. My only consideration with them is because they're the newer chip technology in most cases, not all of them, because they've been around a lot longer than most people think. It's just they were a lot more expensive when China Sport wasn't running them, you know, where it wasn't bringing the equipment in. The Japanese equipment, which is up to 30 years older, was heavier and is pretty reliable and I doubt has any spyware on board. But one of the things that I could see with this other is that with everything else they put a transponder in. Come on, they put transponders in pagers. They put transponders in our little Star Trek communicators. I have not had a chance to take the radio apart and look at the circuitry and again to see what all is on board. So that's the only consideration with that. Otherwise they're convenient, it's true. They're great for cargo handlers, they'd be great for service support personnel, medical evacuation troops, because what's going to happen is you have like say an armored APC or a medical ambulance of some kind and you've got a team. and you're recovering people or you're coming into an area. To have a little radio set like that for six or eight people all where they're tuned into the same freak and they're all moving around and all of a sudden it's like Alice cries out, I've got three over here. Okay Alice, well where are you? Okay talk us in. Rather than shouting, there's the ability to be able to, with a certain amount of not just a corona, it doesn't panic the patients this way, but it also doesn't give away your position. In the event there's hostile fire or hostile activity going on, depending on the environment, you have the ability to manage a smaller team. So that is another tier. It fits in the same place as the other thing, although typically they're not that micro, the new ones are. But remember the older Super Walkie Talkie CB radios that took about 14 to 20 AA batteries. Those were the niche, that radio held that niche for the longest time but was not necessarily that reliable because they would eat the power source, they would eat the battery packs up. The new ones don't. They can run forever and even if they did, hey, you see how small the battery packs are, you just replace AAAs or AAAs depending on the radio and have a pocket full of chiclets ready. And rechargeables at that would be your best bet. I'd have a pocket with batteries in my right pocket, my field jacket or my utility vest, and I would have an empty pocket designated for nothing but one thing. As the battery is charged down, I pull the battery out, I stuff it in the left pocket, which is a recharge pocket. Because you'll be using them a lot. That's the only other consideration here. Whoever is assigned to use that type of radio would be using it on a regular basis, might be using it for hours on end, at least in the way that I would employ it. And it would be a good management tool. Where it would really come in handy is stevedores, cargo handlers, medical support, medical evacuation, and transportation corps. You know, for anybody having to move and communicate. Rather than shouting and hoping that somebody heard it, an earpiece with a piece of equipment stuck in somebody's, you know, on somebody's web gear over their left shoulder makes a big difference. They're gonna hear it no matter what. Stop, stop vehicle now. Halt or vehicle, move 100 yards to your front. Next vehicle, advance to dock. Next vehicle, dock. The nice thing is without shouting you're actually managing and everybody gets used to a system. So you prefer them for secondary communication and the issue of them being GPS chipped, I didn't think that they would have that much range to... It's not that they have the range. Always remember that what they do is they wash the area. This is how a sonar ping works. Well, you know, they understand what they're going to do. You wash the area with a high energy pulse on a specific frequency. And what you do is you get a pepperback response that can be charted, that can be mapped. You know, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing Are they going to have enough leisure time that they're going to be watching the whole population like that? Well, they'd like us to believe that they are, but the reality is there's only so many man hours in the day, and their priority would be to go after people pulling triggers, more so than people who are in the other arms or say just general communications for personal use. Because we're not the only ones using this stuff. So that creates even more background clutter, which is a good thing. I'd have to test. As soon as I would know, and it doesn't mean you can't use them for combat radios. Guys are using them. I will tell you that. I understand that. The only other consideration there is if there isn't a lack of coordination, remember that if you have transmitters or too many of them, even if they're short range, if they're clustered into an area, they can wash over each other. Or you'll be picking other signals up and you'll have to sort accordingly. That's just a matter of brain power. I mean, you can pick out the different signals. You know how that is. Look at what happens in shortwave every night. We have 100 different people on a frequency or 10 people on a frequency and we just simply ID the voice and we also ID by the call sign and it will give the guy space. Common radio etiquette would have to be something that would be a priority. The problem with that is in a combat situation, certainly everybody will clear the line. They'll clear the radio band. for a combat, you know, urgent transmission. But the time delay in clearing the line is one of the issues that has to be looked at, which is why, as I brought up right at the beginning of the hour, tearing the different equipment right off the bat. You know, and again, small unit operations, those little transmitters aren't going to go that far. The other thing is terrain is going to affect them. If you're in a valley, they're not going to be bouncing over to the next, you know, over into the next guy's area of operation. So that won't be a problem. Well as for the CBs, I've got one in my company truck and I'll turn it on when I'm on the freeway. But you can't get range of much more than a mile with those either without getting squelched. Right, it depends on the area of operation. There's a couple of different factors there and the antenna choice and we've expected that. We're just looking at a vehicle radio and that is an advantage. The only thing is AM remember one it was CB radios because they're AM They will bounce in ways that you don't necessarily notice because there may not be anybody picking up But one good thing about CVs the saturation level of them is not as high as it was in the 70s in the 70s it would be very apparent and annoying to people because you'd have you know somebody that's you know within the next bounce or swing that Would pick you up working on the same frequency and while they might not hear you instead they'd be like We are washing you over. Or you washing them over, forgive me. And vice versa, it depends on what is happening there. The advantage of CB is being first on the block means you have more time to train with it. More people, like I said, this depression hits, people are so used to their Star Trek communicators, maybe they will starve rather than give up their phones. But I got this funny feeling that as we've seen historically, progressively and grudgingly, they'll start to surrender or dispose of that technology in favor of something that's free. And the only place to turn is either the little handhelds, just like we're talking about, the small ones, or the CB radios. CB, everybody pretty well understands, except maybe the youngest generation right now, which didn't grow up with it, but you and I, and you know, Larry, and most of the guys that are in our age bracket, or girls, We grew up with and experienced the CB in its craze and lived with it and worked with it. So we really wouldn't have any problem integrating it back into the system real quick. And that's part of the issue, getting people used to using the equipment, understanding its limitations, and then the term I used earlier is still appropriate. Radio etiquette is something that's going to have to be worked in. Americans are typically courteous despite what everybody says. French, they're not courteous, they're swine. I can't say that. I know we got people from France listening. Some people are more belligerent than others. And so that's the only other thing is we saw this happening. An example is later on in the CB craze of the 70s. Some people didn't know how to use radio etiquette. They in fact felt that the radio airwaves were theirs and theirs alone and that's how they acted. So that's going to be a problem down the road. There's another thing that I'll be warning everybody to be prepared for to watch on the horizon because it's coming. We already see this. How many times have you turned on the CB radio and heard Mexican? Now here's the thing. That's not a Mexican transmission from down the road a mile away from where you are. Many of those signals, just like what I can do right now if I walk outside switch over to 19, 18, 17 or whatever, you're going to hear boom and bounce off of radios in Texas because they've got linears that are frying the car next to them and they're talking to most of the planet and they don't care whether or not they're walking on everybody else. Well that may be the advantage there too like the shortwave receiver just listening on the CB might be able to gather more information. Oh yes. I believe everybody should have a certain command of Spanish and other foreign languages or at least some referencing so that you can pick through what's being said because there will be a lot of battle chatter in all directions. Well I may have to go buy an antenna and dig out my CV from the garage. Well, now one thing we were talking about, a friend of ours is right here, and he's worked with a lot of the CBs. Oops, we're almost at the top. We are at the top. Oh my goodness. If you're going to pick up the Wilson's, guys, pre-field them a second time. Moisture kills. And that seems to be the killer with the Wilson's. Beautiful, beautiful antennas, but they've got some problems on occasion. We're going to let you go, OK, sir? Goodbye. Thank you for the input, and that was a good point. We'll elaborate on that tomorrow, too, by the way. We've got it. We got Buck coming up next. We got Larry with us still, right Larry? Yes. As always, God bless the Republic. Death eternal to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. We'll say it tonight. Again, we got...
