Summary
Mark Koernke and Don discussed the Civil War's economic causes, focusing on banking interests, property rights, and taxation rather than slavery as the primary driver. They examined post-Civil War reconstruction, European military observation during the conflict, and how northern farmers were displaced by taxes and foreclosures. The conversation shifted to oil industry safety, the Deepwater Horizon disaster as a distraction, Alaska's energy infrastructure crisis, Michigan's capped oil wells, and pipeline maintenance failures. Callers contributed details about Alaska's natural gas potential, the aging Trans-Alaska Pipeline running at 20% capacity, and Michigan's hidden oil reserves being systematically shut down and fortified.

Live 365 So to keep us safe, Homeland Security released a report called, The Radical Right-Wing Extremists Are Coming To Kill You, or something like that. While it provides no actual evidence of domestic right-wing terror, believe me, I know terrorists when I see one. Why, some of my best friends are... So if you'd like to be among the first on the New Terror Watchlist, visit Knob Creek Gun Range. Hone your skills with family and individual memberships and unlimited range time. Stock up on ammo before the gun bans go into effect. Or buy a handgun, assault rifle, or... Reloading supplies. Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky is one mile off Dixie Highway on Highway 44 at 690, Richie Lane. Look, it's not like we're bugging the phones or anything, so give them a call at 922-4457. That's 922-4457. Or visit machinegunshoot.com. It's easier to find than my birth certificate. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. And this is 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 and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land after you have? And afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the afternoon intelligence report i'm r korky and i'm fonal picture one-day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories central west southeast and nor well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB 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, top of Maine, bottom of Florida. Bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, all the way over to Texas and Louisiana. Then up to and all much farther, but we'll just say up to Nebraska, over to the third of Wyoming, hi guys over there, hi to the third. And then back over through Iowa, like the Hulk, we're going to pick up speed, whoa, oh, oh, oh, leap over the Mississippi, and up on the other side. And there we are for the Golden Spike Project. Now, quick announcement, there will not be any general meeting for the restaurant this weekend. There will not be a general meeting for the restaurant this weekend. But for those who volunteered, and this was already determined three or four weeks ago, there will be an administrative meeting, and that's for key individuals so they can take work back through the holiday weekend because there are still things that need to be done. Maintenance, other connective projects that are still go, go, go because they feel they don't have any time left so they're working through the weekend, that kind of thing. Anyway, Don, what is the date today on this beautiful rainy day in Michigan? You know, what is commonly called the Civil War, you know, the War of Northern Aggression, the War Between the States. That's kind of a location moniker because, you know, many people in the South, they'll look at it as the War of Northern Aggression, which, you know, if you look at True History, that's really what it was, wasn't it? Explain it like this, Mark. They, the state, that, and I've explained that that's happened. That's a war that should have never happened, you guys. And, you know, we can't go back and scratch, scratch, scratch, erase history or we can't go back and change history so that none of those men ever died or anything along those lines. But again, it's a war that never should have happened. But you know the one thing, the reason I'm talking about this mark is because we, most of the bottom, most of the last hour this morning was talking about the Civil War, War of Northern Aggression, but you know, we touched on property rights in that little debate there. But you know what, a lot of people who would look at it and say property rights They would think that, well, you're defending owning people. Well, take that from where it went to where we are now because you know what? If you go out and buy a new car and you put it in your name and in your wife's name and well, because you have to operate and oh, you go out and register it and bird party owner on that. It's not you and your wife anymore. There's a third party that owns that. Much like in any state in America, there's a party that owns that much like well, your house. As Paul points out, this is one simple, you know, this isn't a steep angle way to look at it because on land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Look at it like that because a lot of things that were happening before, a lot of things that happened after were not happening before. Much like a lot of the things, well, one thing in particular that comes to mind, Mark, before the Institute, Terry Nation is running, you know, swinging that axe and busting whiskey back and beer kegs and everything, they knew that they were prohibition. And they knew that they were the BATF, the ability to apply them over to the A portion, you know, the alcohol. They knew that was, at that time, you guys, most of America doesn't know this now, but that was one of the biggest taxes, biggest ways of generating taxes in America. And when they knew that they were going to do that, what did they do before that? On a Christmas Eve, they told you it appears as if the income taxes and you might think that well they are really connected but they are because it goes over to property and it goes over to what is yours is yours and what the state as is yours is that and prior to that you know the lot of people didn't pay property taxes at all even in after that nobody paid property taxes another and on this you guys and you know with it but this goes back to more talking about people now it has property mark uh... a lot of the big bankers they wanted to keep it in a lot of the big bankers. The ones that were against slavery, they weren't really against slavery. They were freeing those people so they could be taxed. Yes, and real quick, on that note, something I was thinking about this afterwards too, because something we didn't include is not only taxed, but hey, they may have been slaves in the South, but they were going to be somebody else's really cheap workforce if they had their way somewhere else. Yes. Or they would remain on that farm and do that, what do they call that? Sharecropping. You know, little bits of the old plantation cut up and we'll just let them work that, work that into perpetuity forever and they was always good to us. You know what I mean, how that goes? The sharecroppers, many of them were pushed away in the interim, in the last 150 years or so, got what he deserved because he freed the slaves and he was shot by Southerner and all this and that. But you know what, he was shot by a friend of a bank. Lincoln wanted to bring, Lincoln wanted to cut the ties between the bank and the United States citizen. At least that's what I'm told now. So, you know, much like Kennedy, I really, you really can't, you know, put them in the same ilk and group. You can try to do it in a time, in what would be, you know, the wake of a civil war, of going to states. You can try to do it in that upkeep. But when Kennedy tried to do it, basically, you know, in the Cold War, in what is a resemblance of peacetime, with it then either did they Mark? Go over to you know what Kennedy wanted to do he wanted to make the dollar in your pocket. Your dollar in your pocket. Your property. They say that's what Lincoln wanted to do but you know look at what they did with property. Again you don't own you and your wife don't own you aren't the only owners of that car in your driveway or your house. Third party owns almost everything and it's called state you live in divvied up you guys and you know we've addressed this before we've talked about this. We have to hammer on this every now and then bring this drama. mark all of the quiet no but the wonder what you think about this particular well the did the time there there was something you can write on the mail something every really needed to lock in with the other conversation about what was happening in the east after the civil war when you look at all of the all of the media and all the hype and all the movie there's no stuff about you know in chicago person but if you are the only like uh... uh... timepieces okay were always in that claim it looks like uh... on eighteen seventies or eighteen eighties eastern you know city street uh... it but it's all minimal everything is compressed and minimal there are a few movies that did actually cover this subject uh... one again that was done in the early seventies that comes to mind james kagney was part of this and it was one of the movies i think that he did Before he passed, who else was there? There were a couple others that were involved in this. But it was the actors, and I picture this thing, it was about the pre-1900 era in the larger cities. And I can think of only three or four. I mean, you've got a couple to go back to the Civil War period, but not going up in through the Reconstruction era, as it's called. And, immediately, we take you out west, beyond the Mississippi, and, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, cowboys and Indians. I'll bet now. Evil cowboys and, of course, the Indians. That's been a matter of politics, too. It was a way to reengineer, progressively engineer the mind, to alter the perspective on what happened in that era, and wash it from the memory of the people. So, a lot of things that we're supposed to, or we supposedly think we understand completely there, there's much more of a dimension. There are many more dimensions to the process. There's a lot more material and information that needs to be looked at to understand the aggressor threat. Another thing I would like to tie in on is the Civil War, too. And we talked about, again, as we've discussed over the years, the whole idea that it was the Civil War necessary. Well, Ron Paul was attacked for saying, no, it wasn't necessary. He is correct. Anybody who's a true student of history knows this. There was not a need for the Civil War except for the bankers who had a large plan that they were going to implement to rape, kill, pillage, and burn the South. And by the way, they weren't planning on doing the North any favors either in the long run. And as was pointed out after the Civil War, guys, why do you think Pennsylvania, it was a little farther even, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin people were packing up and they ran or had to move out west. Do you think that the land that they were using here was less fertile than where they were going? I'm going to tell you something, a little secret right here. Northern Ohio. Yeah, southern Michigan, northern Ohio, and northeastern Indiana are some of the richest topsoil in the whole U.S. That is an agricultural fact, even in that day. Remember that guy, George Armstrong Custer? You know when I do whistle that everybody thinks of cavalry. Well, guess where he's from? Why? It was a very rich, fertile piece of real estate and there were a lot of people here because there was money to be had in that there soil. And you couldn't deplete the soil. And yet, many people packed up and headed on down the road because the massive number of taxes levied on the north after the war and all kinds of other scallywags stuff done by the stinking bankers then to foreclose and properties shoved whole families off their land. Oh, why? Because of that massive fiasco that was created by the Shyster bankers when they plugged the whole thing in. Now, there's the fact that nobody wants to talk about it. It was just as hurtful and maybe more so in some ways. Yes, there were pockets that certainly most of the North did not get ransacked like the South did. There are horror stories because some people unfortunately lived on the main routes for the troops to go South. And they literally had, you know, with the way, way in the back 40, they had a root cellar. And any time they could hear the Union troops, they had a whole signaling system. Everybody fled their houses. Why? Because every fool that was put into a blue uniform was told that, oh, everything down south was full of gold, and there was gold here and gold there, and everybody was going to get to pillage their gold. And if they missed it on the way down? look at on the way back that's right and so that everybody got you know understood real quick that you are like the confederacy when they move to the area that the total two totally different uh... conditions there's no record of anything like that happening with the with the uh... southern soldiers going into pennsylvania or the southern soldiers going in any of the northern states during the the uh... sort a north uh... to your towards washington not a single action like that can be recorded On the other hand, as far as scallywags and pirates, don't make the mistake of that, but going south, they made a business out of ransacking and stealing. So don't forget that part. As long as we're honest about that, we're doing just fine. Now, that leads us into other issues here with regard to the post-Civil War era. Number one, the bankers told the Wall Street kosher mafia, the British mile and the characters out of Europe, Rothschilds, Warburgs, etc. that they were going to finance this fiasco after the war to ransack and then take over the south. Now one of the things that blocked them, and I'll add another little dimension here to this which is why someone would pay later, the czar of Russia actually was enthralled with the American institution that we call our republic. And because of this, the czar set up a naval blockade against all other foreign powers that might have thought about intervening and maintained it through the whole of the Civil War. You know Mark, I mentioned earlier, well, let's say it's Monday, last week I mentioned that States of America, a movie that brought a different line, had the South won. But another, let's just bring that to the table for the reference, another reference how history could have changed. There was this guy, he went to Britain, Benjamin, I can't remember his last name. He was trying to get them into the war on the side of the south. And had that happened, we probably would have seen the Tsar. And then we would have seen Russian armies and French British armies here on American soil. And what would you call that, you guys? What did they call that when we saw that in Europe for the time? We called it World War I, didn't we? But before that it was called the Great War. The Great War. We came so... should have never been... that if it had that happened, it would have been called World War I, you guys. And I don't mean to just throw some really goofy thoughts. So many little things, as you point out, Mark, will block here a wedge put. In fact, it should be noted that British, French, and other foreign military officers implanted themselves and moved with the Union and the Confederate forces to observe their fighting styles during the war. This is another thing that isn't talked about very much, but in the historical references. If you go to the right historical references, and if you'll notice, in a lot of texts that were written after the Civil War, it should be noted that many of them were English or French military personnel who had been over here during the war. And what were they doing? Spying. that's the bottom line opens buying but spying they had a whole series of all of what you know other agendas that they were trying to plug in or trying to see if they were successful with at any given point the biggest problem that europe had which is the other reason that they backed off any given time we fielded the specific battle group slash army groups during the war and four five depending on you the subgroups all the shannon do a valley campaign was massive the uh... western seaboard campaign general bar starting off with mcclellan all the others succession one after another after another in command was one front we have the uh... tenessee valley area all and the uh... western province or should be the western regional command uh... but to the Mississippi are coming south are trying to move south and come kind of a distill me for quite some time there and then we have the western campaign if you want to call that west by that standard because it was on the western western side of the mississippi and that was a very mobile and a very uh... hyperactive uh... operation general on both sides and kind of eclectic at different times plus other smaller campaigns which tied up whole army groups, you know, and that could number, put the number up as high as seven. Well, with these forces in the field, the Europeans realized that we outnumbered them, literally. This is where we outnumbered them when they looked at the field force that we put in place on the Union side. And then they realized that we put an equal force with the Confederacy, though slightly smaller, on the other side. There was a great deal of trepidation and fear on the part of many individuals in private notes because the only thing they were thankful for, gee what a surprise, is that we were killing Americans instead of fighting somebody else. And that big puddle between us. Yeah. Yep. Yes, and most everybody was fighting with their own weapons too. They were carrying their own arms. They didn't have to wait for the government to provide them. Think about that. Whole units, for instance, we think about the Civil War and we think muzzle loaders. Our American militia right now is in the same situation, guys. In the same breath, While everybody thinks that the US military had cutting-edge state-of-the-art, you've got to remember we had everything from 1856 Harper's Ferry muskets, or in some cases, rifled muskets modified. Most of them, if they were Harper's ferries, were actually converted from footlock to cap and ball because Harper's Ferry, of course, is one of our main arsenals at the time. We know the John Brown story and all that. We won't get into that. Whole American units, both in the north and the south, outfitted themselves with the state-of-the-art weapons of the day. In fact, volcanic repeating rifles were first issued privately to whole units that were either infantry or cavalry. There was a general who bought, purchased with his own money, Gatling guns. I don't remember his name, I'm sorry. Well, the first nine, that's another interesting point too because the first Gatling guns, in fact there's a gentleman in Ohio who makes these by the way. He makes several different sizes including what we call a camel gun. The original Gatling guns were actually muzzle loaders. They had an individual little muzzle loaded chamber with a nipple straight in the back. It still had the same rack mechanism that everybody is familiar with, but it was an indexing inline magazine and as you crank the individual chamber complete with the primer and already loaded, dropped into a cyclic cylinder station and then was pushed forward down to create pressure and lock the barrel lock the chamber to the barrel. And then it would fire and it would drop it out the bottom into a hopper to be reloaded again later. Now consider that. Yeah, all done. A little more intricate, but still don't say that you can't find a solution. Hopefully you gave somebody some ideas there because they could load it with either ball or they could load it with, if you have, let's see, 20 round loaded magazine, even with a cap and ball, and you have double watt buck loaded up with that, and you crank the trigger and 20 rounds go down range, what's that doing to what's in front of you because you're looking at it. Yeah, 15, 13, 10, 20. It depends on how big the chamber is. And that determines how many pellets were in there going downrange, going splat, and spreading out real fast. So that's a machine gun for its day. But hardly saw any service. Yes. Well, and again, where they were used, telling me, is out west. Where they were holding longer, you know, greater range positions, and you know, the numbers were always oddball on either side, always lopsided whenever the actions took place west of the Mississippi. You know, not the shifters here, but the same guy that, you know, had the band playing Gary Owen while he slaughtered Indian women and children. You know, when he marched his cavalry out there to the brag, they dragged along a couple of those Gatling guns with him. But when he got to, I don't remember the fort, and he says, oh look Reno, we're going over here, because he was like cavalry and they slowed. Had he taken him with him, he might have lived to brag about a great victory. who is in a very different world. The one, you know, human made, you can't call that a natural disaster. That's not an earthquake. That's not a tsunami. That's not a, another man made natural disaster. Well, we put the fire nuking the reactor in, you know, fueled it up. It had to be a bigger mess, wouldn't it? Let's get another one going. Look what that did with the direction that was. And I know that it's more than a distraction. Don't get me wrong. But look at how many people we got staring at that. So you guys again, I'm told there's another rig and on final we can talk about it. We might not, but you know what? I don't know if I win the game here or how many points you get for spotting Henry Kissinger. We've talked about that for a little while. Where's Henry? And you guys, we've talked about Henry selling the old plated. And you know, he kind of had to lay low there for a while. Certain if that's who I'm looking at. But I think Henry Kissinger is sitting there at the peace talks in the Middle East right now Mark you know showing up there with they could have freeze dried him and just have him in new clothes that's the best way to do it freeze dry him that way you just have to eat and redress him you know velcro clothing every once in a while it's a different guy you know but you could very well imagine a Chinese James Bond so how do you play one of those little free string things? I just thought I'd mention that, Mark. I described this because the first time I heard of that much many, many years ago when I think it was in Scientific American or Scientists Today or Science Today or something, I was reading about scientists trying to plot right down to the finest little capillaries a range of arteries of a rat and they would inject it right into the main veins with a pod that displaced all of the blood and they're bleeding it out on the other side. So by the time this polymer healed, dissolves all of the fleshmark and doesn't dissolve the plastic and now they've got a plastic map. Now the same thing can be done with a human and I'm certain somebody in China somewhere, at least one person has been subject to this, but what was the name of that one? One of the later Bond movies with the blonde guy in the Casino Royale, when he's walking through a place you guys, you'll see these odd looking people and they look like they're statues or something. but they are plasticized people. Real people probably fail on Gong out of China or someone who has volunteered their body to science besides that or they'll plaster it. Like you say, Mark, he looks like he's freeze dried. He's the face just like that in 10,000 years. Cultures get him, but they'd have to add, well, I know it was a lousy, lousy... This has been going on far longer than the only five or 30 years ago that was found out about it. It can be done to... overlays on nervous systems. Now you have a basic illustration of the and all the major trunks. But you know, when you see it even brought into it, it's like a horrific thing, but even brought into the movies would be like, you know, when you see the three Stooges movies or old movies around colleges or old movies that are trying to be scary. They've got the skeleton hanging from the rod and Mo turns up and then you know, his eyes pop up. This is the day's equivalent of, you know, because kind of that in its time belonged in the classroom or belonged in the, you know, the medical area or whatnot. Dehumanize. And you know, dehumanization, that goes back to what we were talking about this morning even, even the point where you don't have the right anything. It's dehumanizing, isn't it? But now we see it right there and to the point that they'll copy what used to be a human being up and display it. We would call entertainment if you were to at it in such a way. And that's so dehumanizing. Then, you know, you guys, here's another word where this, where does that come from, Mark? Hollywood. You know, Hollywood, the same people that bring you things like the Patriot and then Steven, Steven, what's his name? Lousy, a keto fighter, Steven, a cigar that you count. Hollywood. Hollywood. Yeah, but again, that's, to me, Mark, that's a major way to just turn people into just you know what I know what how it goes but I didn't want to say it dehumanizing no question well it's in line with most of these other things have been happening the last couple of days like the we had the Discovery Channel everybody we don't dwell on that because there's too many people covering it but the Discovery Channel agenda I love this in the term everything is a term manifesto flags go up for me you know what I mean You can call it an agenda. You have a list of things to do or a list of demands, but let's have some manifesto. Whenever I hear that, that's a click term used by the Ringknackers as with many others. It's a message process. There is a whole conditioning through the public pool system. There's a whole conditioning through the education, especially in the college system. When you see certain catchphrase, everybody knows, oh, that's for our butt buddies. Or on the other hand, if it's just conditioning for the general masses, it's like, oh, no, I'm going to coordinate. I don't need to think, hit a manifesto. Oh, you must be a Hitler, that kind of thing. Think about that. Although on the other hand, we should remember communist manifestos. Well, that's another thing, by the way, too. something really strange there was reading somebody sent me email about a poster billboard i won't bring this up real quick it's the it was uh... i think about obama says uh... voted for obama you know i can you know embarrassed yet or something like that well the thing is you know the the comment was made a pastor of the local news agency asked the Democratic Central Committee. Now, Don, when I heard that, I read that, I had to read it twice, I said, no, it's not with that. No, wait a minute. Where have we heard the term Central Committee before, guys? It's the Soviet. That's the Soviet system. You know, we must talk to the Central Committee to find out what's happening. or the local central committee. So the Democrats, the Socialists, the doopos that are there, I don't think they've caught on to what's going on. I can't find a reason for calling it the central committee, except that somebody tongue in cheek knows exactly what it represents. Like anything else nowadays, you're not looking at accents or supposed theory anymore. You're looking at actual application guys, what these characters are up to. They really are putting out there what they stand for and what they've been part of for all of their lives lying to you about the process. So, something to note about looking at the way the deception has been going on and then plugging the rest of it in. Anyway, I know you had more, now jump in there please. Well, let's run back to that for a little while. You pointed this out before, Mark. What happened after Katrina? How many oil alarms were just for whales? You know, and ended up just like bobbers. Yeah, like bobbers you guys. And ended up floating or, you know, being washed. And they didn't, you know, open the flames, you know. They, you know, you can look at it like an umbilical cord. The oil from feed from the wellhead to the, they lost what it made because the platter was built, you know. You lost the oil in that umbilical cord. You didn't hear about any failures then, did you? No, in fact, what's interesting about this is we've had people that have been listening for a long time that are listening until report right now down Louisiana over towards east Texas that work, or in Mississippi, right down there at Gulfport, that work on the rigs. Now, a lot of work in the oil company. And they've talked about this for years. We know this from personal, you know, first-hand contact with these people. Like they said, when you work for the oil companies, you want to try and work on dry lamp, first of all. For the best jobs or where you don't have any rocking surfaces underneath your feet. Again, because welding is dangerous enough as it is, you are not talking about tagging a few pieces of strip metal together. You are talking about welding pipe big enough to walk in in some cases, or at least crawl around in most of the time. If something makes a mistake, it's pretty embarrassing when your arm is that way and the rest of you is over this way. It just weighs the weight and the sheer strength of what's there. You don't even slow it down. If something happens, you're just, whatever direction that stuff wants to go, it's going to go and you're not. I didn't even know you were there. You're just following whatever two directions take place. because there's one thing going on with it and something going on with the other. Anyway, the point is that the last thing you want to work on are the oil rigs. Why? Because as our people pointed out, they've been callers, they've called in, they've talked about their industry for a long time. It's the most dangerous possible job you can imagine comparable to the fishing main oils, all these different most dangerous jobs in the world. Hey, they've got to be out there, something's happening, they've got to fix it now. When you're out there even in normal seas, you've got to remember those rigs are repaired and repaired and repaired. and repaired again. And let's not forget that Mr. Saltwater is working on everything. See, that's another thing. Now, there are lubricants. We've talked about this. PLS makes an excellent lubricant, guaranteed for two years constant saltwater immersion. Guaranteed not to allow any oxidation, no rust, provided you use it. Now, it was built for those oil rigs. I should tell you something, guaranteed for two years. What happens after two years? Well, the rest of the rig underneath the spot you lubricated? It's gone. That piece you lubricated looks darn good. Where's the rest of whatever this was? It was about 2,000 feet down, 1,000 feet down, 800 feet down. The ions strung out in the curve. Something else is heating on it down below now. The glue gun's in enough. It's only ironed. But it was a job you didn't want to work on the rigs. I'm going to jog everybody's memory if you're a long-term listener here to the Intel report. In the last couple of decades, these guys have reported. They say, hey, I'm on the rigs. We just lost one. It's not getting any news coverage. It blew up. Or it had a gas accident, had a leak, had whatever. Got no coverage. We had them stacked up on the coast down there after Katrina, just like you're saying, Don, and no coverage. We'll bore up after that. Oh, forget about, don't think about, you don't need to worry about, well, wait a minute. You see, and this is interesting because, by the way, they had some that were burning, they had some that just plain went offline. It was a mix. It's a nonstop business hazard with those. The point is, it's not that unusual. It's just that they're making it an event. I think we have to be careful of that because, remember, distracting and pulling our eyes from other things that are going on. Because they're the ones, the control media is the one that's pushing this right now. That is a flag, as we've said before, like many other things, in and of itself. Key phrases and or agendas being promoted by the shysters on the other side. I think bing bing bing. My right hand. So it is interesting, it is a business and an industry that we need to comprehend properly. It's not this nice, pristine movie or television version or the propaganda piece done by the oil company. This is our oil rig. Boy, isn't it pretty? Yeah, that's the one that just got dumped in the water. We've got to find something new if we're going to film this thing. Okay, well that one's been in about three days. There we go. Good choice. Not quite up to snuff yet. Still got to do some tweaking, but we'll live with that while we're filming. Well, I want to pose a question here that I don't think anybody has really done it because you know what I said it a while back right when that these lines but you know if you had the choice America if you could choose wouldn't you drill on dry land compared to you know an ocean bottom but now here's the other thing because we've talked about that pipeline and you know that some of that well gee let me think didn't that start in the 70s 90s to some of that's got to be 30 years old and you know I haven't heard about the massive effort replace pipeline and all the Americans being put to work doing that have you Mark? Chocho Bang Bang Da! That's because there's guaranteed work there but the problem is it's not necessarily Americans that are doing it or let's put this it doesn't have to be from China it can also be from other countries because it could be from Japan because where does all that oil go? Yeah. Interesting but now let's go just a little bit farther north here And you know what, to a certain extent compared to ocean bottom, you could clean up a lot more oil and ice compared to in the ocean. So where would you rather drill? And I know that well the ANWR oil, that would only support America like six or eight or twelve months, but you know, well gee that wouldn't be the oil only. We'd be pumping oil out of there for years because we wouldn't all of a sudden just shift and use that alone opposition. So for six or eight months, while we're pumping, we're not going to get oil from anybody. See how they want to get you to watch their right hand? Such a stupefying statement. Well, the other thing we could say is, well, all that oil built into the Gulf and that field, if it played out like that for another six months, all that oil would have only supplied America oil for six to eight months. See what I mean? They do everything they can to make simple mathematical equations mystery and turned into lies and propaganda, don't they Mark? It sure seems to me that that's true. It would be interesting to see how things develop here. Again, we're looking at ticking down 60 days to the elections, not even that now. This is September 2nd. Well guys, if that's the case, maybe I'm wrong. I don't think I'm wrong. September 2nd. Well when is the election? November what? Is that the 3rd or the 4th? It's Tuesday in November. Yeah, so we're looking at less than or about 60 days to the election. Don't you think the bad guys are panicking? Oh, Semabamadingdong is talking about, oh, the end of the war in Iraq, which is all a crock. We know that, guys. He's going to bring peace to the Middle East? Yeah, peace. That's P.E.A.S. They said it was a potluck. And so he's bringing... That he's bringing a bucket of peas. Yeah, he's bringing... So I guess that P.E.A.S. And, you know, maybe a very tasty dish. You could be with little onions and stuff. But other than that, ain't bringing jack or squat to the Middle East. And this is all the first to begin with. But as far as whatever nonsense they're yapping about. But that's for the... That's desperately to try and pull in votes yet again. Which is really what this whole thing is about is last minute damage control. Repeated last minute damage control. And it isn't on good form at all. Yeah, they can't even come up with something new. No. So we'll see how this works. So Mark, I think I heard a beep there. And I believe we do have a caller. Who do we have? Hey guys, this is Jason Abul. Hey Jason. Hey, jump in there sir. Be conceded. Yes. It's like calling on... Demoralized her, she finally reeled. Okay, I can't win. There's still a risk that she will try to jump on to the independent party. She loves her power. She has been at it for most of her life. these characters i do know this is where you get the greasy spoon thing as far as i'm concerned all your personal interest in the party yeah there in the trade interested in and making sure they get the best cuts from the plate of the part of the thing to watch out would be the sideways motion you know well we can't be senator congressman anymore let's just make you a something else that you know give you a channel to diverting cash you know what i mean that's true you don't know how to pay back to the bottom paid for And you were talking about the Alaska pipeline. It was estimated at most a 40 year lifespan because of how abrasive the oil is. And you were talking about how in the ice, how so easy to clean up, one of the largest oil spills we had on it was about 100,000 barrels and there's almost zero environmental damage. You've got the fishers. Oh yeah, that's why the Russians were smart enough to do their super deep wells on the land. More controllable. Thank you Jason. I want to make sure that deep water, whatever they called it, that was nine miles offshore. And you know what, with sideways drilling and all of that, they could have drilled that. A lot of tubing would have been, you know, almost exactly. I know jokes. Yeah, sideways drilling. Oh yeah. They can take a 13 acre patch, only 13 acres, and they can drill within a 200 mile diameter sphere around that if they want to. Yup. Yup. So I'm going nine miles out. That's a joke. That's a joke. They'd probably take two days to drill that if it was technology when it comes to drilling has come to think about how good how deeply we go now forty thousand fifty thousand seventy five thousand we're talking miles into the earth you'll realize what we can do with drilling once we get those pumps up and online it's like a fully automated show when online you drop it down to a minimum crew between twenty and fifty people and it pumps away from till it's dry well let's go back to the original thought line on the call What is the thought there because you're right there, finger on the pulse, what are they talking about? Is there going to be a whole bunch of Americans employed replacing, building the new Alaska pipeline? Or they just continue to put patches on it? Because the feds have here, which is ridiculous. Our politicians have stabbed us in the back so badly. One is dying. So what real Alaskans have been pushing for is the all Alaskan gas pipeline. Natural gas is, we're hoping to be our next boom to keep us alive. and they're just shutting us down on that. We have to give up on oil for right now. Unless we can 100% take our state back, oil is doomed right now. So we've been trying to go with natural gas. And they've got 100 billion roadblocks on their gas lines right next to the pipeline. I don't know whether you're there or not. Those all the way here. Right away, they're already here. Yeah. What people don't realize is we have just one of the plants, 747 engines pumping natural gas back into the ground. Those run in every all day long of Alaska. Yeah, it is. What a waste of energy. Oh, yeah. How strategic we are. Something to think about is we have a jet fuel refinery on the Kinetenrypa. We have a gasoline refinery in Fairbanks. We have a diesel refinery on the North Slope. And those are all people, you know. And they've been locking this hundreds of wellheads that are drilled all the way that they've drilled them, and then capped them. Yep, I've heard of them. This is the same thing that they've been doing here in Michigan. We have a vast number of oil fields that they right now, even though they're still pumping, they still have an estimated amount of reserve comparable to, they have already pumped. In other words, we're not even looking at equi-, it's actually in excess, we're just going minimal estimate. But the point is, oops, sorry about that, but the point is that What they're doing right now is they're literally fortifying all of these sites. We have several locations we've been watching and the level of construction is going to take a program to do it. We actually have photographs, video tapes, all nine yards. One site alone is hundreds of acres and every one of the wellheads literally has now, in fact, think about this, they never develop these sites. Each one of the wellheads now has a gravel, actually limestone bed road and landing strip where each one of the wellheads sits where it's just capped over. Now we're talking stone that's as big as my fist because for whatever reason you tell me it looks like they're setting up either a massive femicide or whatever, but the whole area it's to purpose. They're able to secure this massive oil complex that's shut down, this grid. They're doing it not just in central Michigan, but they're doing in northern Michigan. They're doing in southwestern Michigan. We have oil wells all through this area where I'm sitting right here. You wouldn't know it. They're all out of sight. Again, what are they doing with half of them? Oh, they're just shutting them off. We're running the donkey pumps away, and wherever they're taking them, most of them are brand new. They're capping off the wells. The wells are not finished. We talked to the crews. They're likely, I don't know, it doesn't make any sense. Supposedly we don't have any oil. The fields replenish. They don't want to talk about that, but they can go back. Pop one open 20 years later. Once you've got that site, you're there. And that's the other thing too that gets me is the amount of work. Now up there where you are, now we're talking about the Alaskan pipeline, is there a process? I think there were three lines total at least, weren't there? Well for which? For the main line? Well, no, the originals. Now, they were replacing, or have they been replacing? I saw a project sheet on that year ago. Oh, the spur line. You're talking about the shorter spur lines. Yeah. There's probably about a half dozen of them now. There's a couple of them that stretch about three, four hundred miles and they pipe into the main line. But are they doing a complete recycling, re-reclamations slash replacement right now, or are they pretty well up to speed on that? doing of their minimum of maintenance. And VPs should be getting cited all the time for their lack of maintenance. But it's like they know the pipeline is dying. They're just buying time until it's last days and then they'll shut everything off and walk away. And people in Alaska, they don't want to think about it. They don't want to see their golden goose shut down. It's running at 20% right now. And they're running it at 20%, not because of a lack of oil to put into it, because of the integrity of the pipeline. They don't want to talk about that either. The integrity of the pipeline cannot hold even 50% capacity. It breaches. It's too thin. And it will take millions to revamp the pipeline. They're not going to do it. I'm pretty sure that within the next five years, the pipeline will be dead. And people with half a brain that are in politics that know the truth, they're the ones trying to push the gas line. The only hope we have without that, Alaska loses our forestry shutdown. All we have left is oil and natural gas. Those are dead. There's only one income left. People don't realize how much that money that brings in, the military basis that they're bringing in, has to be nominal, not a money for a population that's retired military. This is like a variation on the Escoda scenario we talked about where Escoda, Michigan had the, even though you have a lot of people there, Escoda, Michigan located on the eastern side of the state, we had this particular SAC base there that was in place and really had no business being closed. It's rather interesting. But it had the largest concentration of retired military personnel in the United States, or for that matter, the world. More so even than Central and South America, which has a lot of spooks and coops and things of that nature. Now, when they shut it down, just before they did, they spent close to a billion dollars in revamping the facility. They put a massive warehouse in to support the commissary facility there, which was an auto picking system. It had a robotic auto picking system for the inventory. massive complex. The store that was built there, the PX guys, most guys in the military know, PX is in commissary, it's very incised, but usually they're about the size of a Kroger's or an ANP. They're not as big as a Wal-Mart. Well, we're talking something that was twice the size of a Wal-Mart. Here we'd call it a Meyers. Dom knows what a Meyers is. The commissary in PX was massive. All new NCO quarters, etc. etc. All of it was just shut right down. It killed the local economy. But what it did is it took eyes and ears away from the area and knocked the economy down while they worked on secret facilities that are right there in the National Park and on the north side of the existing base. Again, what the eyes cannot see, the heart does not long for it nor get curious about it. I see the same scenario playing out except you've got a mapped out window. Whereas before, they played the card right up until they jerked the rug right up under everybody. in the Escoda area.
