Had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money'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 and people, 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 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? Is this still the land of the free? Well, let's run right into this good after good evening. Ladies and gentlemen, you're tuned to the intelligence or rather you're tuned to tree radio That brings you the intelligence report in this hour again broadcast to all points of the compass by Liberty Tree radio Hey, we could run through coast to coast and this and that the other thing but it's gonna kind of be the thumbnail version this evening and Did I mention Liberty Tree radio? Continue on here you guys because it is the first day of where did that summer go? Well, you know Hey, it's just about gone. It's not gone yet There if you move around the nation a little bit it can still retire in the wintertime first day of September, the year of our Lord 2010. September 1, 2010 you guys. So that runs up the middle of this year because Chamber, Slide with the lever jumps, the magazine is in the well. There's a whole lot more magazines. But you know what, it is Weapons Wednesday and we've touched on that for Mark to get here. But you know what, I got a little particular. It is training because you know, at the beginning of this week we're going to relate up here. It might be the first time. whatever you call it. It might be he's Frank's cousin. We've already established and have any training of any but all of a sudden he's rotten here. So he shows up this and that and now again, no military training, never been utterly handled a gun. So we could run up in the most things there, you guys, you know, if you're going to be walking around in the field with some going to give them a gun debate, the first thing you want to do is run on safety and marksmanship, right? And they kind of go hand in hand to us. But again, to a certain extent, they kind of go hand in hand. because you know you're told anything you don't want and I'll use that like that spring, they're parallel. One is getting the job done and getting the job done with all along with you even while you're getting the job done you'll end together and even once you've got gun safety with you even while you're getting the job done you're not ignoring gun safety, right? So again, they run along the same. Two guys, you know, you might want to make certain that he gets the walking down the hallway and I was able to tell a brand new student, your parents taught you to walk pretty good. But you know what, if you try to walk like your parents taught you to walk while you're fighting, just try to walk like that through the woods. It's not going to work real well. The young man agreed. But we have to all, we might have Mark with us. Oh yes we do. It's been a busy, busy day. Oh and forgive me Dom, but I knew you could take care of what's going on here with the program. I may need to have you cover for just a few more minutes. We're trying to beat the rain here on something else. You know how that is. Well I got a pretty good thought line going. Real quick here on that note, guys, remember there are basic rules that are...everybody thinks it's like...there's only a few things you gotta worry about. The problem is... This is why they call what we're talking about military science. Why we call it military science. There's a whole technique, there are whole processes to everything. Movement, as much as anything, is either going to detract or advance your position. Is it going to detract from, you know, it's going to allow somebody to detect you, or it's going to allow you to gain the edge. That's something to think about. I know where you're going now, because that's the whole point, guys. Again, you have to learn a new skill. Be patient, be a good student, and do so. I'll be right back in a little bit. Thank you. The other end of that is you can't be a good student unless you've got a good teacher and a good instructor. If you've got the money and I know that times are tight, but you've heard mention of front site, heard them mentioned over the years, and there are other more than adequate across the nation. And we've talked about the different things. You go someplace and you get instructed by someone, a master shooter, someone who you would... Yeah, he's my teacher, he's my instructor. And take training from him. Well, when you go back home, that's what you're doing. You're not training anymore, you're practicing. Again, let's go back to that new student. Well, even when you carry a firearm, a long gun into the field, you learn to way that cradled in such a way and relatively even ground you have that knowledge that well depending on the court to that or used to people in Hollywood or people who have done it. The guy in Hollywood pointed out remember Miami Vice a long time ago those guys really and now you've got people with the bottomless magazine and all kinds of goofy things but this is another reason to get some training in your life. And if you've been through the military, you know what I'm talking about. If you've been to Thunder site, you know what I'm talking about. To a great extent, if you've been even trained hand-to-hand, you know what I'm talking about. Because when you learn the base, when you look at yourself like a platform, a mobile weapons platform with the most, how does that go, most assistive battlefield computer on the planet, you know, that gray matter between your ears, running it, everything that you bring to the battle, everything you pick up is a tool, and all you're going to do is use that to your advantage and your opponent's advantage, right? I know these are very basic things, but we're talking about bringing someone in at entry level. If he's going to go into the field with you and you know, you might move sometimes day or night exercises. And I've heard descriptions of both through the field. Everybody's live. Everybody's, you know, every gun is kind of one hot and sidearms, but there's a side unloaded and a lot of people is here in Michigan. You might come across to get out. You might even come across out of the bees there. You know what I mean? But again, the long guns, the which would be Blade in this action. It'd be the whole group, but it'd just be the new guy. And if first time you move a new guy through the field, even after you've worked a lot with marksmanship and gun handling at a range, you might want to move that new guy through the field just so he gets familiar with. And we've talked about that. Or shooting, okay, that in the last two offerings or instances, every shot is different. You hold yourself well. I'm certain there's somebody, you know, they had that hundred yards. Now they've got a about that you know what would that be uh... now again this is we're getting a little bit beyond guy here aren't we but so let's run back to that new guy new policeman a new deputy he'd generally be deployed whatever the but that would be in order there's a number of reasons why you know the other guy he's already you know seen a number of situations and he's going to keep this guy guide him hold him by the rain pull him back by the main if need be sometimes i know i'm talking equestrian uh... that horse with the need be kind of, you know, help that guy get through. And by the time, you know, you've been in for a year as a cop, you kind of get the feel. Or by the time, you know, you've been in late, you know, for a year, second year's deployment easier. And I'm getting a little bit, you know, I'm just using example, let's run back to that new guy, because you know, even the army, well, there's a reason why you do things over and over and over and over and over. And I could do that for the rest of the hour over and over. But there's a reason why. And we talk about memory and we talk about it. You know, when you remember, the search back in your mind and the earliest thoughts that you can remember and you like those thoughts, it might be sitting on the front or it might be looking at the fire. Farthest you can reach back in your mind, when you remember those, you like the same synapse, the same pathways that you did when you first experienced them. There's a reason why in training you do things. over and over and over and over and even the smallest things get corrected. Put your foot here, turn that toe out, put the hand in such a way or look at never look away from your foot. Those are just a few basic things that were run out today in individuals with a young man who wants to handle hand combat. We got rid of a real bad habit. One thing when you start to train your instructor, he's trying to get all of the bad habits, all of the preconceived notions says you do this or just the way the person won't be a good person so you, the instructor, teacher, correct it. Hold it like this or put a bow here or trade on your breathing right now. Forget about it. I just want you to breathe right now. Okay, even that, even that, forget about what you're doing. I just want you to breathe right now. What you're trying to do there is bring that student back to a center, back speak an instant reference. back to a calm, back to a place that, well, I, as example, that instant reference, that study or whatnot, reinforce that. That doesn't produce, you want to reinforce the success earlier and drag it into the situation, right? Even grown men that train, they don't get that, you maggot, you piece of, they don't get that from me. They'll get, you know, well, I know you could have done better and you know you could have too. And that's the major thing to pushing someone I know you could have done better and you know what? You know you could have done better too and when they agree with you then you're going to start to go. You might get someone who I want to address. They're more predominant in grown men and it's sometimes exhibited in young men and women when they come to train or when they even are up in school or whatnot. It's a It's not a real big word, but it can be a great big obstacle or it can be a great big help. But you know what? Even Mr. Otto used to talk about how for the guy, Don, not always talking about talking in third part. And you might wonder, well why you go, what are you talking about? Stubborn for now. Well, stubborn can be a good thing because you know, it took a good long time for Miss... He did tell me this and I thought line and figure out how it worked in history for me and how it related. He'd come up with something else, another bit of history, or could you ever think that these guys would really do something like that? You know what I mean? Well, this is America. You put up the defenses that not in my country and only monsters would do things like that. You know what I mean. Stubborn is good in a way because once I agreed and once the puzzle seemed to fall in place, he kind of got me here because I'm stubborn for my freedom now. When you get a stubborn student, I want to address that for a moment, but I need to cough here. Give me just a second, please. When you get a stubborn student, you're going to find that you, again, one of the easiest things to do is go back to earlier success. Now, even if it's just teaching them how to stand in a fight, or even teaching them how to hold that breath, and how to squeeze, and how to, you know, as heard at the front, how to get another magazine in really quick, what I do too, individual little you know it what it comes down to in being really good it's not a down original and I've just thought here before but there's other things I want to embellish this thought line with because you know what it's been said before techniques mastered and techniques are the basics man you know it is a it is a high technique to move toward your enemy and not take your eyes off of him it is a higher form of a basic technique it is a along the same lines, you know, not having to look at your feet. Along the same lines, it is a higher form of a basic technique to look at your opponent, even if bullets are winging through the air while clings. You hear that empty magazine bounce off the fender or the cement, the next magazine has gone in, but you know what? All of while you've been doing that, you have not taken your eyes off of your opponent. so that you can bring the gun back to bear immediately, instead of looking at the gun and fumbling with it and looking up and wondering where your opponent is. Now that's a higher form of, and many times I've tried to tell you, even in hand-to-hand situations, a lot of those thought lines that work and make a successful pugilist make a successful artillery man. And that's a stretch, but you know, that's a real leave it at that. but the ability to focus on your opponent not to the extent that you soak up and falter into that target fixation. The ability to focus on your opponent as you move your feet or as you bring your gun to bear or as you change position, glancing at where you want to be and then looking back at your opponent is key. Now that's another thing because we can talk about that new guy and when you go into a gun fight and have that shootout, well, There's a whole different, and when you talk about control in that, you could write, controlling individual people, controlling that individual from the direction in which that person fires. There's just three different sentences right there. Yeez worked on his breath first day, he walked up the line, the first gun that was ever put in his hand. You know, your breath control, the reserve bank of energy you have in your body. Because you know what, some people can do 10 pushups and breathe as hard as they can, and when they're ten push-ups man it's just like wow I'm gonna go here and sit down and catch my breath man and some people can do 20 and some people can do 25 but you know what that guy who can do ten push-ups he's got you know or energy bank than the guy who can't do any but the guy who can do fish up he's got a bigger energy bank than the guy who can do ten and he might when he's done say give me just a second here okay I'm What was the question? You know what I mean? He might catch his breath a little quicker only because it took some training to get there. That energy bank in an individual application and exhibited the amount of push-ups you can do, it's right up into a gunfight too. And what do you mean now that work up into a gunfight? Well, you're going to have to beat feet from one place to another. And you know, the faster you can do it and the more times you can do it in your opponent if he's doing it too, might just be the difference between now, doesn't necessarily the hand motions. the ability to bring to your long gun or to your... And you know, we could talk about this. The new guy might wanna, in Hollywood, shoot a magazine empty. And you know, you can shoot a magazine empty. And you know, you see a lot of mixed martial arts now. And I don't wanna lose this thought. So shoot that magazine empty. But you know what? In mixed martial arts, instead of just the guys like Muhammad Ali standing up and trading, leather be it, you know, eight ounces or mixed martial arts, they might kick each other and they might wrap each other. in those wrestling times, sometimes you see, well they're just, those guys are just sitting there holding each other. But you know what, one guy is where he is, he doesn't want to let go. And the other guy, because of where he is, he doesn't want to move and let the other guy get the upper hand or the better person, so to speak. But he's not in a bad way. So what he's doing, he's waiting for the guy to move, and he's waiting for the guy hopefully to make the wrong move, something that this man knows how to count. but he's not stressing himself in that he's not fighting him anymore than need be in perhaps not even at all he's not wasting his breath he's not burning his energy bank and again we've that we've used in many different uh... late because you know what and this goes by train people why because you know if you're fighting on the ground of the other the other the uh... or just mentioned example if you were in another radical age and there's a referee in the cage, they can't even throw the people outside, can't even really throw a beer bottle at you, can they? It might turn to shards, to the arenas. But you know what, in the real world, if you're raffling or his buddy might come up and just break a beer bottle on your head. Or if you're raffling around with somebody in a war, buddy might come up and just show you his bayonet and not just show it to you. Show you how cold steel can, when it's introduced rather rapidly to the rib cage or the abdomen or the, you know, the neck. a hand and then any of the aforementioned targets. Again, I teach my students to fight standing up. Why? Because an army with no legs, as mentioned, just now is doomed. If you choose to be in one place on the ground, somebody's going to come along and it's not probably going to be your problem. You'll probably be his friend and now you're on the ground and he's holding you still while you're on the one. So they come here, they fight on their feet not to go to ground and I teach ground technique. That's as a last resort. I teach you the first thing on your feet right away. I teach you how to get back on your feet without using your hands. And there's, you know, I can talk about back on your feet without using your hands is very much akin to, you know, getting out of the armored personnel, kiting on the back of it and around every now and then or moving out and, you know, not getting run over by the wheel boy immediately. So again, you know, when you get the new guy, so many basic things are going to come in and if you're running them if you work at a particular level and spread it as wide as given you can because you know foundation is kind of basics isn't it and you're going to give them a foundation he's already got a good question about well what's going on in the world and the government and to the point that man I kind of think I know what's going on find like-minded people so again this guy knocks at your door anything about guns but you're going to put him over to the the people you don't you don't think this is about original here you don't go to the butcher shop for two the guy if you do you know he's going to do kind of what you're going to do what he knows i'm going to kind of butcher on your mouth is me you can but it's going to hurt more gonna hurt more you're not going to get what is needed to be done at that moment you're not going to have the right tool you know the right instructor the right teacher for the right job or even the you know to do the right job even if he doesn't teach you how to pull that fix it or to rid or what not so you don't go to the butcher shop for a toothache So when the new guy comes in, again, don't, we've already addressed that, you know, he's Ralph's cousin, he's known him all his life, there's no, send him over there and let, what kind of gun did you bring? Oh, you just bought there and Frank will tell you how to show you time while you're doing that, we're gonna, Ralph, and in about an hour or two, you'll be real familiar with your gun. So you get the basic mechanics in and while you're doing that, you know, you can kind of cross train and talk to the guy about what you're gonna be doing in the next hour, you know, talk to him about breathing and talk to him about sight picture and talk to him about recoil depending on what gun he's bought even if he's bought a .223 and you know it's well talk to him about recoil and talk to him about bringing it back to the target talk to him about breath talk to him about sight picture because you know I've done that over and over do it again because you're training this man aren't you and you know what I started to tell you that When you go into the army, you do things over and over and you get up the next day and the only thing different might be the what you're wearing that day. But you do things over and over. You know, there's a basic psychology there, Mark, and you know it and I know it. And this is one of the reasons why when we train people, they do things over and over. And I'm not being repetitive here. I'm trying to reinforce something because you know what? When you do something, and this is why I encourage people who buy night vision from me, every night for the next 30 days, if it's possible, every night, for the next thirty days take your device out there the whole number of reasons why you're going to see different light level because the moon cycle you're going to well you're going to see different things because uh... you know things different things same every night but while you're doing that over that thirty days you're going to become familiar with the control of the device how to how to focus the device how to turn it on how to put the cap on where you can and can't do that and after about thirty days guess what remember we talked about those and that either happen in your Those become permanent, those become part of your background memory. After about 30 days, some people, it's, some people, literally you guys, it's 10 days. Some people pick up things real quick, and those are the exceptions. Some people it might be 40 days. But 30 days is about the human average for this basic thought line. It's as example, you go to swimming class for 30 days through the summer, you're a pretty good swimmer, and you know how to swim for the rest of your life. brought that into ingrained into the subconscious to the point that you know what even when you're not thinking about it consciously it's there you're thinking about it that sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet that gray matter between your ears but you know what much like here's another one that phrase garbage in garbage out if you build a lousy soldier what do you got a lousy soldier and you can you know there's a this other thing re-in it happens Vietnam and Bill Clinton avoided it as hard as he could because you know what I'm talking about? PC and what did they cook up during those years Mark? Didn't they call them shakes and didn't they call them 90-day wonders and didn't they call them up because they didn't know what they were doing. They meant to their you know shake and bakes 90-day wonders people who have all of the all of the paper instruction and all of the they answered all of the books right but then Koreans or Vietnamese again you know this is what you want that basically I'm not saying that that Louie you know that second you know that ninety-day wonder didn't get all right wish that you know while you just had you know if you were in vietnam who was there had many years of battle by large again instead of what they're doing so again this goes back over to you know you don't go to books and if that man knew basically he's kind of expressing to you look i don't know what i'm doing i need help so that that's uh... that question about it we could go in so many different directions while you're by the time you start to see that man he knows how to take that upper from the lower and he He can even look at, he pulled right, he just found it. Man, other people, there's all that trigger group apart. Just depends on how Fred's aptitude is. And again, 10 days or 40 days, the average 30. He's not gonna learn everything the first time he shows up. And if you think you can teach him everything the first time he shows up, you need to pay more. And again, you know, Mark, you mentioned it earlier. And if you can tell me something different, I've had a good lot of hours of training, training young men in just hand to hand. And you gain, there's a fountain in your cap. pride in that, you know? But again, we're building patrons and patriots. When you're sitting there, and again, you've now, Ralph's got him taking it apart and putting it back together, and Frank might be sitting there watching and learning. As you see him start to settle into that, now are you talking about, hey, are you putting up food? And he might look at you, what do you mean? This is all going to be over in a day or a week, ain't it? Well, even if it takes a week, are you putting up some food for your family? because he you want to go back to the basics and while you're working on getting one of the basics in the even if it's just you're going to make this man familiar this weekend with his car touching on others are you because again i could give example of that today you're young men came here and we worked on from all day about all day but the all of the but you know what about two-thirds of the way showed him a horseback because i told him well now not everything we do is going to be in the front total horseback and then we went back to that front And this is an example of that person trying to keep somebody's interest. Now a grown man interested in his freedom, he's going to pay attention if he's again a grown man interested in his freedom. He's already gone through that and made that rite of passage, that learn how to learn. So you're not going to have to teach him how to learn. He's there to learn. He's already admitted that. So you don't want to put guard. So you find the best person out of all of your group for what it is. And the person that sits at the group you know you might have twenty and you got three new guys that weekend and at the end you're doing the action review of the whole weekend and the new guy answers the act the classic way well the leaders voted and the new guy asked the question but you know the leader always answered the other new guy answered the question and you know there's somebody right next to him who knows the answer and you know where i'm going with this one this goes back over again to don't be don't be ashamed to you know let the best people in your group their knowledge don't keep the untapped that knowledge pop that barrel and let it flow because again you know a good one of the you know skip but after about you've kind of made my my weapons Wednesday about the easiest day of the week because you know what I I didn't I had Mark before Mark knew a whole lot about weapons and you know Mark made weapons Wednesday easy but you know what I didn't know about something and kind of like a gift from God I kind of found you and skip over Mark he said that's the somebody else what he cannot and that's what I'm precise here when a new guy into the group you guys oh you've got Ralph over there he knows about communications and he might know tonight we could talk if you'd like but Ralph over there he knows about radios from top to bottom the guy wants to know about hey what do I got to do to you know to improve my ability to get what if they cut off the phones go go talk to Ralph for a little while and don't you know don't hold that back Now is not the time to be shy or stingy because you know what? Here's another thing This goes back over to building that foundation and spreading it as big as you can you never can tell where your students are going to go Mark I use this example every now and then back in the late 70s was living in the suburbs of Detroit on the edge very edge of each and two doors north of me there was this I was in my late 20s at the time youngster who was still in high school and One day I looked out the window and he was jumping in the night and teasing my dog. So the next day I confronted him about it. Well, he would talk to him and then later he would have built him a hot rod and I helped him put together his first small block Chevy and this, that and the other thing. But you know what? In 2006 he wrote that. I just only used that as an example. You never can tell where your students, where someone you are being a mentor is going to go. And you guys, you might think, well, I know. This is a weapons Wednesday, but you know what? Your mind is your first best weapon. We are the weapons system. Our enemies already understand this. Most important is that when we're dealing with what we're putting together here in the Patriot effort in the militia, it is a long-term endeavor. It is something we're building for generations. We're not just building for this generation. We've already been building for generations. And we go back, the militia goes back. farther than the history of this country as you know it today. The militia was here before this country, before anything that we resembled, either the confederation of the United States, the republic of these United States, or the Constitution. Think about that. The militia was here first. Now, and again, it's a representation, it is a sword and shield arm of the people. What sword we choose and what shield we carry or what defense technologies we have, that changes with age. The tool, the man himself, the attitude of the individual. See, they always try to do the weezer thing. You have to have special approval and you have to have a special pat on the head and you have to, no, no, not at all. In fact, just in reverse. Well, we didn't have to have approval. We meet a standard. But the standard was never designed to exclude. It was designed to improve. It was designed to set a goal, a specific goal that everybody was to meet and everybody could meet realistically. There's nothing that we're asking of any of you when it comes to developing these skills that is beyond your means. Even physically, as what would be called physically handicapped, they try to say, oh no, that's physically able. No, it's a handicap. I have limitations. I have injuries. Or I have restrictions. Don, you do too. Those handicaps are formulated and calculated into our performance. we compensate accordingly so that we can excel beyond those handicaps. We can move around them. They're not something that hinders us. They're something that has to be calculated in the form that restricts us in a certain way, which means we have to come up with other solutions. So even an individual who has some form of physical limitations in one form or another can be participant in militia or participant in the Patriot effort, which again, let's remind you guys, we're little separate branches in a way but not. Well, if you're about to militia, where are the Patriot efforts? Well, without the physical arm, the rest is irrelevant. Because the other side, you can shout stop or I'll shout stop again and it really hasn't stopped many tanks. Or for that matter, any combat infantry or for that matter, jack-booted thugs when the time comes. that's it stop or I'll show stop again yeah okay I might note something and on this on this subject several people that watch that video the guy the beating of the guy in Alaska the most common thing is why didn't everybody get I'm this is what was said over and over again by different people is what in every just walk up and just slap the snot out of those fools everybody's in pregnant pause everybody's in like except for the woman there was down there was a compassionate young girl she went up and she gave the man water laying on the ground and ignored the cops. And they knew they were being filmed, so they were looking down on the ground and looking at this, and they had no excuse for what they did, and they knew it. And they had no excuse, nor were they in any way, shape, or form looking intelligent. And if you watch in the film, the person, yes, has to look down at his chest, and he's looking down at the ground, and he's trying not to look at the camera while he's got his knee on the guy that's laying on the ground handcuffed, of course, which of course just had to handcuff him. On that note, that in and of itself is a physical assault as far as I'm concerned. It is something that considering the pain that it typically creates and the injuries that may already exist that it exacerbates, when I see a person with gray hair, when I see somebody intentionally torturing and maiming for life, even handcuffing people is not in any way, shape, or form a trivial thing. And I think that is most important for all of you to remember. That is a control freak method. and the punks that use it need to have their arse kicked. That is a control freak method. Like some of these departments are, well you use the policy now, well I'll tell you what, that policy isn't going to work here. And you're going to, because then the whole idea is to try and escalate. Well, that's going to happen some day and what it is, it's not going to stop. It's like that situation there. Realistically, there was a third person that stepped in. This is why everybody needed to just walk up and slap them. Seriously, the only thing that would have worked is go step in, back off this guy or you won't know what hit you. Everybody get your honey mens step and forth, man and woman, everybody together. Man off. Yep, that's where we are. In order for this stuff to stop, in order for this BS to stop, in order for these P-Brains and the third character that stepped in, look he was some boy that stayed cop or something is what I thought he was. You know, maybe off duty and working another job but that's what it looked like to me. I mean, who knows? The database is up there. JG, I'm sure the guys have a better understanding of what's going on with that case, etc. But the overview is everybody said the same thing. A lot of people were supportive, but you see, the next step is everybody just needs to step forward. Are we going to put up with this? Is everybody here going to put up with this? Are you all crazy enough that you're going to allow this to continue? See, that's the attitude everybody needs to have and express it openly. That's the thing. Express it openly. because if the outrage isn't there then you can you can expect figure out an excuse to let it slide and go on and let the next thing happen because i and that's really what people are complaining or lamenting about that we've heard in the last several months about so many things again at what point you know how far how far we press the envelope how soon as the envelope press the rest of the way this is a this is that card that's waiting to be pulled over you know be flipped over guys our weapons are only as good as the man holding them I have watched people who, I'll tell you, I'll give you, I've mentioned this many times on Weapons Wednesday. I know people that have $8,000 rifles. They have spent all on the best ammunition that whatever publication told them to buy. And when the time came, and there was a standoff or an issue that took place, these people disappeared. The guy with that standard AK, well cleaned, well maintained, that he understands completely, properly and simply outfitted and equipped and well equipped for his weapon system, that man showed up on the line every day. But a lot of these people with these $8,000 guns and all kinds of concern all of a sudden just seem to vaporize. And after all, you might get your gun scratched. That or maybe your hind end scratch too a little bit because you have to put your money where your mouth is. On the other hand, the average person with proper gumption will be there. And I still count on that more so than anything else. I know better. All the other stuff, all the other toys and trinkets. The idea is do you know how your toolbox works? Can you make your toolbox finish the job? Not just start it, but finish the job. Finish that job thing. Yeah, exactly. That's the key. And if it were one time, it would be one thing. I'll go back to the standoffs we talked about in the actually that we won in the 80s. We won many of them over and over again. That was the thing. Every time we put our foot down they realized, oh this is bad because it was going to the edge. It was going to the brink. Go ahead. Push it one step farther and there'll be no stopping it. And they backed off. And the people that did that were regular guys. There was nobody there that was any sugar daddy. Some had better or heavier weapons than others but all common weapons, common arms. Well made, well engineered, and they knew how to use them. But it's the man that's willing to show up. Give me any arm that I have to work with and I will have better if I think I need it. But if I like what I'm carrying, I'll make that weapon work for me just as is. It's the difference between some of the stuff we've seen in articles about how people are being conditioned like in Iraq, even with the Iraqi insurgents, some of the stuff that they've put together. No sights on the weapon, lots of magazines, but no accuracy. Now, who gave them that idea? In fact, they believe that that's how you're supposed to do things. Where did they get the idea to do this? You know the guys have told us on our side the same thing over and over again as long as they hear a small placement fire You know individual rounds. They don't break cover the moment they hear a large rattle battle in other words and you've seen it where they show these pictures, these guys have an RPD with about a 10 yard clip, a belt lined up sideways. And the guy's holding it out. And the guy walks out and he's just holding the gun and he's just spraying. If any of that fire power was properly directed, That belt would be doing a lot of damage, but as it is all the neighbors five neighborhoods away that had nothing to do with the firefight are Mostly getting hosed down they can yeah the ones who probably if you again if you were the resistance The last thing you want to do is make your allies an impact area You know what I mean so accuracy over volume fire accuracy and still volume fire because once you brought your accuracy up with a weapon system Then your cyclic response will increase Your ability to repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat But also deadly because our rifle marksmanship combined with the ability to sustain fire with manually operated weapons guys, 1903 Springfield, 1917 Enfield, Model 97 shotgun, Model 12, you know, pump guns. The BAR, certainly automatic there, and the Browning machine guns, along with a bahaj pod of other stuff, we used the so-so, as it was called, the shisho, which was in 8mm at 30-06. In 30-06, it was an abysmal nightmare. In 8mm, it was, well, just under an abysmal nightmare. And they couldn't understand at the accuracy level because we changed the coefficient, we changed the formula on the battlefield. It appeared that we had a lot of rapid fire weapons that they hadn't seen before. In reality, it was proficiency, which allowed for reasonable accuracy and still reasonable firepower. Do we have a caller? Uh oh, who do we have? Michigan. Go ahead Jason, jump in there. I know you've got a few minutes left, so I'll make it quick. I'm in the market to replace some old worn out woodland patterns, 100% cotton BDUs. I'm trying to choose between MarPat and MultiCam. What are your thoughts? The MultiCam seems to be working pretty well with the images I've seen, for instance, down on the border. It's got more of the... The MultiCam to me is Belgian Congo pattern revisited, which is not a bad pattern. Again, up here in Michigan, remember we go into the real tan-tan period. So the MultiCam has enough of the lighter colors to break up, I think, enough. when the time comes deep enough with the darker ranges and the small and large format fleck that it works pretty well. Now the other, again, the way to do this is to go out and experiment. You notice like right now here in Michigan we've had a lot of moisture that we didn't have say one year ago. We've had a wet summer. We don't have the brown out yet that we normally have even this time of year which is where the multi-cam would I think shine. Because you have tan in the base colors where the dead grass is and leaves and such, low cover. And then you have the grays, the greens, and the over cover like the sumac, which will start turning red here in a while by the way too. So we have quite a wide shade range, which going into the fall we'll see the yellows, the reds, the russets, the earth browns. And I think the multicam still offers protection there, which is pretty decent. So that might be the better way of the two to go. Now, that's up to you though, because you experimented a little bit too. Now, the reason I said it is because it's also a matter of what uniforms can we get in, you know, what cuts and what additional or supplemental equipment can you get in which camouflage. Okay. I only had the financial resources for one set right now, so just a matter of time. Well, then the good thing is that will restrict you so you can experiment. I cannot go any farther. Wait a minute, I didn't like this after all. Well, good, you only made one error and it's not a bad one because it still works sometimes or most of the times or you can use it for other projects. And again, different camouflages and mixing and matching them is something like bow hunters we learned a long time ago. The deer can interpret multi-camouflages that are overlapping with each other and the same is true typically with people. As far as the Woodland goes, if the Woodland is tired, remember, still, for utility work out, they work just fine. That way you can keep that newer camouflage from being worn out sooner. All right, thanks, Mark. I'll let you go. Appreciate it. Thank you, Jason. Again, we've got a bunch of other stuff going on all over the country with regard to events and activities. The border is shaping up well. We've got people down there from Michigan, people from other parts of the country down there right now deployed on the border. Want to say hi to everybody down there. Hey Joe, what do you know? And a lot of other friends that are in motion. So there's stuff happening in that direction. And the deployment, there will be another commander's evaluation as we know where other people will be surveying the training areas, the deployment area. receiving initial training for deployment. There we go. That's how it should be. Because there are some things that need to be covered, that need to be expressed and then transferred over to the people coming down from the respective states. This includes weapons maintenance and weapons support, guys. Remember, it's dusty. It's a different environment as far as the way that moisture and precipitation build up. Moisture is always your enemy with your weapons and certainly an enemy with your ammunition. So another thing, take extra cotton rags for cleaning and wiping down equipment. After you've wiped stuff down, remember, don't just ball the rag up and stuff it in your pocket. Hang it. Put it somewhere. If you're back in the facility, like back at the complex, sit down first, check your weapon over, check all your mags, maybe dump your ammo if it's wet, clean out the inside of the mags, clean off all the rounds, wipe them down, dry them off. Don't just think they're going to air dry. That's not how it works. You'll find strange green colors on your brass in no time or rust on those steel cases. It might even be sticking together. Yes, and that has happened, people, especially in high humidity. Very, very common. Don, your number for night vision. You can reach me at 231-7. Thank you. God bless the republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the mark, both day and night. Ooh, Rob, we got dust coming up right behind us, guys. So stay tuned. Don't leave LTR. Lots more broadcasting here on Liberty Tree Radio. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless America.
