There are people shrouded in secrecy. Girl marriage is not a choice. It is God's will. In a world few ever see and no one ever leaves. If you don't marry, brother Scott, there's a heavy pain. I'll kill you. For the first time, go inside the forbidden and mysterious world of polygamy. Tonight on Lifetime. The problem knows, polygamy can be murder. We have to leave. The 19th Wife, a world premiere movie tonight at 9, 8 central on Lifetime. Live 365. 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished and missed for 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 watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intel report. I'm Mark Honky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, West, Southeast, and North. Ladies and gentlemen, you were 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 base stations, and UltraNet technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. A big chunk of, oh that's right in Nebraska, then over to the third of Wyoming and high to the unit there and then back over Iowa and then to the Golden Spike Project beyond Iowa across the Mississippi over there on the Blue Ridge of Smokies. I want to say good afternoon everybody there. It is the 13th of September, the second European socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. Oh my goodness, and the hours are ticking down. It has been a long day. It's been a clear, hot day here, but not too hot. In fact, pretty medium. It's fall day out there. But a lot of work done and more to do still before the end of the day, before the tools get put away. Gotta keep plugging away at this, with these weather conditions the way they are guys, because it's going to drop into the bucket soon enough you're going to see Michigan weather here this year, and no doubt a winter. So get your firewood squared away, make sure you've got all your construction done. Check up on your weapons systems, make sure that your Greenhouses are secured. There's all kinds of stuff to close down the season that needs to be finished, needs to be accomplished and gotten out of the way. We're going to do our part from this end to keep everybody up to speed, not the least of which is with coming events. Well, that's right. What coming event could we be talking about in October, provided we get through the rest of September? Here is the 13th, less than a month away. Why, October 8th, 9th and 10th, it's the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. That's right. So if you're going to be going down there, you'll want to start planning right now. If you haven't already got it in the schedule, you need to start looking at checking to see what's happening down there, what you're going to be participating in. www.machinegunshoot.com www.machinegunshoot.com. That's www.machinegunshoot.com. and there's all kinds of listing schedules whatever it's uh... the knob creek range remember they've got a gunshot down there they are open all year long not just for the knob creek event that take place every six months guys but they're open nonstop so you can't get down there and there's some cool things you participate in or just need to get down there and site your rifle then there's an opportunity couple things happening here that are going to be kind of neat Of course we know that there are many different people that are involved with the shoot itself. You'll see many, many different weapons. If you want to see the weapon systems that you've always been curious about, all online and being used. Well, Nom Creek is a place to go to see that happen, people. You see how that works? Again, KCR National Subgun Competition. Open bolt and closed bolt subgun competition. Both variants available guys and that's anything 380 or larger. I guess a Scorpion would be excluded then. Unless you got one on 380 Auto. That's kind of weird. Because the .32 would be cool. No .22s. You will need at least 100 rounds of ammo and several magazine changes are required. Hearing and eye protection are mandatory. Well, good idea. If you're going to participate, you're going to be wearing protection. If you're going to go down there just to watch the boom boom toys, you better make sure you bring ear protection just in case. And you better bring a sweater because it gets cool in the evenings. We're looking at the October shoot. October, you know, this is spelling October. It also should be C-O-L-D by the way, it can happen. So bring a jacket, bring a sweater along just in case. Warm during the day, cold as the sun disappears. Old military bolt action rifle competition, assault rifle competition, shotgun, practical pistol competition, many many many many many many many many many many different subjects covered. And the gun show of course in general. So if you want to find out more there's a lot of attachments, go to www.machinegunshoot.com. That's www.machinegunshoot.com. Appreciate the support from Knott Creek and we're going to probably have Kenny up here with us pretty soon. Just to give everybody an idea of what's happening and what's happening down there in preparation for. And if there's any changes, he can let us know. Also, again, I will remind you, We have another thing that I wanted to make sure I covered again, and this has to do with MaineMilitary.com. A lot of you are looking for outfitting at an economical price for your 510 program or whatever. There's a lot of good stuff that Maine Military has. You go with molly gear, it's got a wide selection of used molly gear, that will work just fine. Alice or any of the old Type 56 gear, there's a bunch of it available. He has other stuff that we'll mix and match with it that's Euro. Example in the LTR Special AK-47 Mag Pouch with adapters, five pack for $15, $3 a mag pouch. These are four mag pouches, one, two, three, four. Stoves, you name it, there's a bunch of stuff there. But what I brought up in the last hour, I will remind everybody of again, if you go to mainmilitary.com, M-A-I-N-E, mainmilitary.com, then go to L-T-R specials. That's right, L-T-R specials. Lieutenant specials, yeah, Lieutenant specials, that's what those are. L-T-R specials. Then, when you get to the L-T-R specials section, the second column down. Third from the left or second from the right which is the Swiss M84 canteen with cup five pack I don't know where he got them though I think I got an idea guys Swiss M84 canteen with cup five pack for ten dollars these are excellent because this is a canteen cup and the canteen so you're looking at a combo and you get a cup with every canteen no matter what for $10. Five of them for $10. That's $2 a set. You can't beat that. You can't put that together for that price. Remember, you buy enough, shipping's free. Another thing they've got right next to that five-pack Israeli gas mass coz is new for $10. Five-pack Israeli gas mass coz, new for $10. That's $2 a piece there. So if you want those, they're 40 millimeters. They're working with the Israeli, the US, and pretty much all of the Russian mass. So you're looking at a good utility piece in general. Everything else, sky's the limit, you name it, it's there. I don't know how many of the M10 masks he has left. I do not know how many of the finished masks are left. But these are a gas mask solution. Note that the 40mm NATO standard, it's a mix as far as what's available. One of the other things he has in the Altair special section, I know about the Sportsman Guide, we brought that up. but five pack of swiss gas mass filters fifteen dollars three dollars a piece is not bad those are in the clamshell but there is a really monster sale price going on with uh... sportsman's guide so you know we're check that out uh... other things happening with c here real quick i don't see anything else jumping out at me the ppr ninety one rifles of course are still there in force they're still the cheapest three oh eight rifle for magazine the rifles themselves are more inservicable enough but uh... the big thing is spare mags how many makes can you get well for a couple dollars a dollar a couple dollars apiece for hk ninety one mags uh... you that makes that rifle very very desirable in whichever configuration uh... it is in fact a very serviceable weapon and for a dollar mag then the ammunition you can spend money on but If you were buying any .308 rifle, you'd be spending money on the mags anyway. So that's the solution. The other thing that I noticed here, and I did not see anything that was jumping out as far as the closeouts go, but that doesn't mean there isn't something cool or new that would be worth picking up. Go through the closeouts. Remember they've got, by the way you'll see that they have the East German winter canteens. Those are not very heavy. I'm going to warn you in advance. East German AK-47 cleaning kits, very high priority for the cleaning kits people. In fact, I would say highest priority for cleaning kits. Most people do not have what they're supposed to have with their weapon. A lot of people figured, well, I'll get it down the road. No, you need it now. You're going to be using that weapon on the range. You're going to need the equipment now to clean the weapon. Make sure you've got that squared away. Take care of it. Deal with it. Get on down the road to other things. The only other thing that's, well not the only, there are several different types of mittens that are available. You'll have to scroll through what's on the inventory for main military. They've got Swedish mittens with liners. They have the Swiss. They have the USGI leather trigger finger mittens. with shells, medium, a number of cool items. I don't know what I really haven't had a chance to talk to him a lot about. I'm surprised that these US Mollie to 6-Mag Bandolier Woodland pouches have lasted as long as they have because I know everybody's been buying the snot out of them so he must have a pile of these things. That is the case because the guys who remain, they seek out stores that are going out of business, find what they can and then ship it over to the store and they keep it in the warehouse. They keep it piled up. That's a good thing. But if you're looking for a solution, a lot of you guys have Mini-14s, AKA AR-15s, any of the other little variations in the 223 that uses a standard US government type magazine. It doesn't have to be the AR-15 mag. If it's in that size range, this little CIA molly pouch package will work just fine with your rifle. Now the only other thing that they might work with, because they're double mag cells, is 20 round AK mags. We haven't tried that yet, but they would probably carry only three per. I don't think you'd be able to double them up. But it would be interesting to check that out. So if anybody's got the 20 round AKA 47 magazines and you can test them out on these US MOLLE II 6-Mag Bandolier Woodland Pouches. That would be a solution to a problem. They're not that expensive. They're Woodland camouflage. They're in excellent condition. The ones that I've seen so far appear to be new as far as I can see. So you tell me. As a matter of fact, let's confirm that. These bandoliers are designed to carry six AR-1530 round magazine types. They are three individual pockets which hold two mags each. There are also button flap closures to secure the mags inside. Interesting, actually that's true in the one we picked up. These ventilators come with an adjustable shoulder strap. These are woodland in color and are in good used condition. I've seen these. I haven't seen anything that didn't look brand new so far in the ones that we've had. So you tell me. If they're good used, I would say that he's under rating them. So this is a solution. Now where these were used, you tell me. Maybe you guys have an idea out there. We've already been incorporating these into some other training videos. They're actually in film already. Forgive me. On Data Street, we can't really say film, although we do use VHS and we use 8mm a lot, guys. Then we translate it over. But they're a decent system. Excellent solution for you to load up the mags, put them in these pouches, put these pouches in 50 cal cans. or in the 20mm cans upright standing just the way they would be sitting if they were hooked up to your gear. Literally upright. Then you roll the straps, kind of like what you see in the picture here on mainmilitary.com. You roll the straps up and you lay them on top of the mag pouch. Now when you close the can, everything is separate and itemized. But let's say you want to start issuing these out real quick. You want to grab one. Well, there's the strap right on top. You grab the strap, you pull them out, and you grab the next one and pull it out. Look at that one. Here's your mag pouch. Here's your mag pouch. Here's your mag pouch. Here's your mag pouch. Here's your... Okay, hold on a second. One, two, three, four. You get one more, and then we get a switch cam. Oh, all right, dudes. That'll be fantastic. I'm so excited. Well, of course you will be. It was something that I've been looking at. Last night I was kind of going through other items because we've had a lot of emails that were sent in on gear, problems with getting equipment. I can't find this, I can't find that. If you're listening to the program, and that's where all the emails come from, remember to go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Once you get to the www.4mg.com, once you get to the page, What you're going to find is a whole bunch of different click and look at images. You've got icons for the different groups, titles, and IDs. Well, scroll around a little bit there. If you tap them and then check out the page, you're going to find that you'll access a lot of the information we're talking about. We've got Maine Military, the link there, easy for you to switch, connect to, JRH Enterprises, and Robert Henry. We've got to try and get him unbusy. He's been swamped. We're trying to get him up on the air here pretty soon, get him in motion, because Robert can answer a lot of questions if you have specific issues you need to deal with. He's going to be able to focus on pretty much any subject, but he is a very, very good provider. when it comes to preparedness and supply and support technologies. So he's been a sponsor here. He's had his own radio program. He is very, very familiar with the subject matter. And he will, if you call him, he will do what he can to make a solution possible. Because there are some times where there's certain needs that we have that are very, very unique. Special Chemical Warfare, NBC Defense Technologies for children or for infants, he has a solution for that. A lot of other people are looking for certain pieces of equipment they just can't find. Maybe it's something you've used in the past. Robert Henry with JRH Enterprises, guess what? That's what he does. His specialty are Sith Lords. Oh wait a minute, no. Survival items. There we go. Well, if it's an S anyway, Sith Lords, Survival items, same thing. No, very different. Anyway, solutions, not just lamenting about the problems. Anybody can complain. The idea is where do we go to get it and get what we need done. Another thing here that I did want to see if I could bring up before too late, and this has to do with, and again I want to say thank you, we've hit a lot of massive number of emails and kind of warning about some of the stuff that's been going on with the Senate, and I want to see if I can get this up for you here. We have been very, very busy today. I want to answer some specific questions, there were several comments, and also follow up with a I'm giving you a couple of tidbits here on the air from the people that have been in contact with us now. Here we go. Activities and events. Well, the bad guys, as a matter of fact, pretty darn busy with what they're going to be doing in Washington, D.C. in the next few days. Do not be surprised at this. I've had a lot of people that are kind of shocked and amazed. Oh my goodness, you mean they're going to fill in the blank? Well, yeah. They are definitely going to be going after the weapons. That's one thing that everybody needs to remember. It's not an if, just a when. However, and I appreciate some of the latest emails we've had concerning these dates and also the state, and that was what I was looking for, and I still don't have it. Forgive me. A series of state events are coming up too with the legislation with regard to state legislation. One of them is New York again. And I know we don't usually cover the states as heavily as other people do because they are people with an area of expertise that they are for. It's what they do. New York, this one, two, three, four, looking at maybe two weeks out, there will be a state. referendum going on i think it could be in conjunction with new jersey i wanted to get the particulars of course when you want it you know it's not going to happen what the heck what a surprise anyway uh... all the if i can pull that up here in the little going into the correction don't forget it anyway the uh... other part about this the other component of this has to do with the justice department coordinating activities that we've got the eight-year event events going on tomorrow uh... with regard to the senate committee i don't think anybody be surprised room two to six is where that's going to be located again in the senate administration building that will not be a uh... surprise there but in addition to that we've got of course the u.n. gun ban uh... uh... subdivision the activity going on there Watch to see who it is that we have that's going to show up as the mouthpiece from the Senate. All lame ducks. There's not one person right now that isn't a lame duck that's going to be promoting this. Most others have been pretty well quiet. Now, there's one comment that's been made by one of our allies. This is cool because if it does happen this way, then everybody's going to know who's who in the zoo. My argument is, well, it's cool, but it's not. At least it's a frontal attack. But it's a frontal attack by a bunch of Kamikaze two-year-old sociopaths who were PO'd at the whole nation because they got fired. So that in and of itself is one of the reasons to keep an eye on this. Now, pay attention. Here we go. Fair arms in commerce, assessing the need for reform in the federal regulatory process. Senate Judiciary Committee. This will be a full committee session. Date will be September 14, 2010. Time? 10 a.m. That's tomorrow. Room? Well, it will be in the Dirksen. And 226 is the room number. The official hearing notice witness list was posted as of September 7, 2010. Notice of committee hearing. The Senate Committee on Judiciary has scheduled a hearing entitled, Firearms in Commerce, Assessing the Need for Reform. Now you know what reform means. That means screw everybody in the process, is what it really means. In the federal regulatory process for Tuesday, September 14, 2010, forgive me, 10 a.m. in room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building by order of the chairman. Okay, by order of the chairman comrade. These will not be a surprise. Okay? The other interesting thing about this is that pretty much it's a consortium. Both of the Republican and Democrats pushing this particular element of the ban. Or I should say, forgive me, both the characters involved are both Republican and Democrat. It's not split along all the Democrats and the Democrats. No. This is a consortium of lame ducks. that are pushing this stuff through right now. It should not be a surprise. So we'll see how this works out. At the very least, lots of pickle-smalt mirrors, lots of noise, the usual gang of stooges will be coming in, fake organizations set up by the ADL, fake organizations set up by Southern Perversion Law, and other elements of the ring-knocker clicks coming in to voice their position. You, of course, won't be allowed to do that. The average American will not be able to get in there and actually make a comment because we haven't been paying off our senators. But, wait a minute, we did pay our senators. we're not paying off our centers like the shakers are bought paid for and rubber stamp that will be fourteen that will be again at the durchin building two to six in the room number ten a m of the one that's going to start one of the trade at that i got that accurately in other words i think i got got it but it's post about what we can there appreciate again the information passed on uh... Oh, let's see, one more thing here before we go too far, and that has to do with California gun bans. Interestingly enough, it's not that they're going to be banning the gun shows per se, but one of the things, and I appreciate the email from our friends on this one too, what it comes down to is another court case has been lost, gee, what a surprise. Where the bad guys have been completely ignoring everything that has to do with whatever was said, and they're trying desperately to uh... knockout as many of the gun shows possible now we might have a couple of foreign and maybe we need to see them shut down book does say that well along with our good friend leave california then what's left you might want the fed to go a crazy with blocking everything all women know they want because it's gimme for occupied territory they would have a problem with everybody arming up with machine guns there the way it looks but exactly that if you have no the border As a matter of fact, well not with our actual guardsmen though as we know, but watch to see how this thing develops with the California gun shows. Band's gun shows is basically what they're pushing. Second Amendment Foundation has a series of blurbs out of that right now. I am not sure whether or not I would agree with their direct wording, but it's something that's going on as we know. So let's not be surprised at where the bad guys hit with that. I would also recommend that if we get a chance, and I'm trying to find it here, I brought this up the other day and there's been a lot of questions about equipment. If I can eliminate the middlemen, including myself if at all possible, we're trying to do what we can to pitch in here, guys. Now, one of the other things that was asked about were helmets. Always jump out and go, yeah, there's a solution. Because again, it's a matter of budget. Also, what can you afford? What can you afford? Also, can you afford to carry? A lot of people cannot handle heavy equipment or apparently claim they can't. They're going to learn real quick how to deal with gear. This is a jobber company. I'm going to repeat, this is not a resale. This is not a retail. This is a jobber company. You're going to have to do group purchases. Ideally, you want to have somebody who has a company or a business deal with this. Now listen up. This is a decent helmet. I like the design. It was made by the Swiss for the Swiss. It's the Model 1971. These are used but excellent condition. I will also remind you that they are metric and they are sized. Now the most important thing about these Swiss helmets and all European helmets is that they are sized in a metric format just as the hat sizing is done. So, there are smalls, there are mediums, there are already larges, they already went to this. We went with one size fits all with the old U.S. Piss Pot, the Mark I, and then we went to the Kevlar helmets which are sized, and the latest, I don't care what the new generation is, we're not going to see them. So, you know, if you pull them off the bodies of aggressor forces, if they're given to them or they steal our factories or whatever, other than the fact that maybe if you're lucky, somebody's going to hand you one of those when the time comes, that's fine. We've got to come up with a solution to keep your noggin from being bounced off the concrete, a branch sticking in the middle of the woods at 3 o'clock in the morning or whatever. These are a decent helmet. What I like about them is they're basically a cut version of the M1, the old US Steel Pot. The brim in the front is cut short. Now why would they do that? Let me give you a hint. These are Swiss troops. They're Swiss troops, the way up under, where do they work? In the mountains. Oh, that's right. So, the helmet is designed so that the guy can actually look up, who has offered a great deal of protection. These are a very girthy helmet. I like the design. We've used them extensively. They're a little unique. Now, I'm puffing this thing up, but here's the thing. The helmet itself is very reasonably priced. The more you buy, the cheaper they are. Unit price is 24 helmets for $10.75 per helmet. 50 helmets, $9.75. each. If you buy a hundred pieces, that's a hundred helmets at a time, that's nine dollars and twenty-five cents each. Now the regular wholesales 1275, these are excellent helmets, there's nothing wrong with them, they should have a good quantity available. They are the Swiss Model M71. Now here's the thing, the email ID number is V465227. Once again, V4622. You've got to have that number when you call. It's the Swiss M71. They're a standard helmet, steel. All the liners and everything are on board. They're in excellent condition otherwise, very good excellent. They are used, make no mistake about it, but they're a decent helmet and it's an interesting design to work quite well. You can adapt a number of different camouflage covers. Or you can use camouflage netting, the helmet nettings with a clasp that goes around the outside. I've got quite a few of those in many different countries and we use them with our gear in conjunction with cloth, you know, juke cloth and other materials to break up the overall design. And change, and it changes depending upon the season. Going from, you know, light to dark and back again, depending on what part of the time of the year it is. Anyway, if you want to find out more and you want to get hold of them, now pay attention here. This is Marspec International. Their phone number is 1-800-274-7123. Their website is www.marspec.net. www.marspec.net. I'm going to warn you about this. First of all, this is not a retail company. Your best bet, Mark is telling you how to do this, is find somebody with a barber shop, a grocery store, a hardware store of any kind, an office of any kind. They can order this stuff from the job or without any problem. They'll have a business address, a business address, a business address. These are wholesalers. These are wholesalers. These are wholesalers. Does everybody get my emphasis here on this? I don't hear any BS later or emails. Oh, I did this. No, don't tell me about that. Anyway, here's again the information. The number that you need for the special prices on these are V4, 6, 5, 2, 2, 7. Once again, that's V4, 6, 2, 7. V6227 Swiss M71 helmet. Regular price would be $12.75 wholesale however if you buy 10 pieces it's $12.50 per helmet. If you buy 24 pieces $10.75 per helmet. If you buy 50 pieces, it's $9.75 per helmet. And if you buy 100 pieces available, that's take all of them at $9.25. can't beat the price guys those are decent helmets so check to see if they still have them remember they've got other items available one eight hundred two seven four seven one two three that w w w dot mars spec dot net now they are a job or wholesaler they are not not not not not not retail not retail everybody understand so act accordingly I have given you the instructions and I've given you the basic getters. There will be other items we'll cover as we go over a period of time, but there's a whole lot of cool stuff that is available. Field phones as we've covered before. I won't do that today. We'll wait until tomorrow, Communications Tuesday, because there are a number of other items that are available from, again, the same company having to do with field phones, etc. Also, some row gear. I mentioned Rhodesian equipment before. Some of you may have had some of that, South African slash Rhodesian gear. Interestingly enough, some of the packs and some of the pouches have become available. The backpacks are about $9 a piece, you know, the best quantity price. They're okay, they're light duty, what I would use them for, they're well built, but they're light duty for, ideally for children and kids where you're trying to outfit them with a bunch of stuff and you're trying to shave the weight down. Also, again, the size is the important thing. Remember, the average soldier they're giving this stuff to in many cases, the person is smaller. We got another discussion yesterday. Let me point something out. Alright, we got some boats. Let's go get them off those bodies over there. Yeehaw! Hey, wait a minute. As we get closer, these guys aren't very big. Wait a minute, this is like foreign forces from whatever country fill in the blank and the average height of the soldiers is about 5'2 to 5'4. The average boot size is about a size 8 and maybe one or two with little bigger feet, most of the smaller feet size 6 through size 8. Those aren't going to fit me. Yeah, you got to hope you're fighting the Dutch troops. They're really big and they got caught up or feet. Great opportunity for you to put a few bullets in those guys and, you know, carry away some good gear. Remember, the Dutch have been in every one of these cooperative nugget exercises and they were down there for Katrina and they were live firing people. They zeroed their weapons and then they were let out on the streets against the American people. So you can demonstrate. People say, you think they're going to use foreign troops on us? They already have. Oh no. Yep, yes they have. So we got to be ready for the rest of the problem. That means you need to square your stuff away. Find out what it is that's going to work best under these conditions and make it work for you. That's what we're going to do is try to make sure that before we get into combat you're going to need a certain amount of gear. Yes, we will be stripping the enemy of everything ammunition sized no matter how big the person is. Pretty consistent. grenades, same thing, motor rounds, same thing, they don't change. But uniforms and equipment, remember that even gear, the girth, the size of the person is going to mean that there may only be a certain range and dimension of adjustment available, guys. So as far as finding big stuff, I mean the average American is about 6 foot now and the next generation coming up is a little taller still. A lot of good food and a lot of engineering on the part of the bad guys has changed the dimension of our population in more ways than one big around, etc., depending on what it is you're talking about. We know some of that's not good. But as far as thinking you're just going to walk up and pull it off the bad guys, you're going to have to consider who the bad guys might be that you're shooting, depending on which global force they decide to try and deploy. And the average Chinaman, yes there are some big guys out there, but most of them aren't. Now the one thing I am curious about is very interesting. Most of the average Chinese troops do have big heads. That's not being mean, that's just the bottom line guys. I've been buying gear for years and looking at their scaling system. The Chinese troops are a little bigger in the head, a little smaller in the feet and average height in general and average dimension in general for as far as the shirts and pants go. So, what you're going to be plugging there, even though they might have some cool gear, means you still are going to have to do some field modifying, make them work for you. If you're going to unfortunately end up only with so much. The big thing is, you're going to have to prioritize sizing. If you engage combat troops, especially foreign troops, remember the biggest uniform items go to our biggest troops here. Because that's something everybody goes, oh I want a little bigger, I want a little spaceier. Well, you're going to have to work with the supply system, especially with pilferage. off of casualties you've generated against the enemy. And that means that the closest to the size that fits you is what we're going to have to move to so that the biggest uniforms and gear can go to the people that are most likely not to have what they need. We've got a lot of tall people that need tall clothing and larger sizes. Just think about that. Consider that for a minute when you're redeploying or re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re- issuing equipment that's been captured on the battlefield. That's why we need to prioritize routing and have Quartermaster in place. Anyway, our solution having to do with volume, you need a bunch of helmets, I just gave you a solution for it. Decent design, especially for mountaineering troops. The other cool thing is consider this, even if you aren't in a mountaineering environment, how many of you have had to crane your head back farther to look past the brim of the helmet? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Whereas instead, if you actually don't, if you look at the way the Swiss M51 helmets are built, you'll notice that you don't have to work your head as much to look past your brows, look up if you're trying to hunker down. You're not going to have to work as much, you're not working and extending yourself as much, which is really critical to staying out of the line of fire. That's really what our interest is, to make sure that we don't end up bullet magnets or organic sandbags. So again, not a bad design, it's the M71, look it up, part of the M90 series of uniforms and gear, although it overlaps too, that particular helmet goes back to the older herringbone twill equipment system that they came up with in the Swiss Alpine Flies design. So don't be surprised there, you'll see it overlap and work into both of those uniform sets. The other thing is, remember that There are other patterns of helmets. Most of them are in the M1 type line. The Czech stuff, the Russian stuff that they've kind of been fading out towards, whatever they're buying now in the way of Kevlar. Plastic doesn't offer any protection from wave technology at all. Steel helmets do. See, there's the plus and the minus. Everybody goes, yeah, but you're getting hit with a bullet. Hey, most of these contractors, I'm going to tell you something right now, years ago, today they won't get caught. I'm telling you, years ago, one of the biggest Kevlar helmet contractors in the US got caught shaving the Kevlar. What does Mark mean by that? Real simple. They weren't putting as many layers of Kevlar into the helmet as they claimed. In the contract spec for one thing, they were doing another. It was their way of saving on the minimal bid contract work they were doing. Now, today is the day of pilferage. Today, this day and age, is the day and age of thievery on the part of scallywags who are not being watched in the system. Our system, the kosher mafia especially, they're notorious for stealing and for skimming. Well, guess what? Who's making the new Kevlar helmets out there? Duh! Yeah, guess what? You're not necessarily getting any plus plus plus. Again, everybody's worried about the wave technology and the ray technology. Guys, the microwave and all the other nonsense did not work with steel helmets. Metal, okay, was really critical there. On the other hand, plastic doesn't slow the stuff down at all. Yeah, think about that. So they got everybody into the Kevlar. Yeah, well there's a plus and there's a minus. By the way, you can laminate it, which is something the Russians did to a degree. They came up with an add-on helmet cover that kind of went over the regular to offer some Kevlar protection. Not the best for a solution, but it was a thing that worked. It allowed them to continue to issue the stuff they had without changing out and spending a whole lot of money. They still do this to a degree. Don't be surprised. You're going to see more of this in the future. I would go so far as to say that an experiment we did years ago with crushed Kevlar helmets or Kevlar helmets that came from that batch that we were telling about that were not quite finished because when they took the contract away from that Kevlar helmet, we're the people that bought those in group. We bought the whole lot, carried them all away. 10,000 plus helmets in mixed levels of completion. Well, one of the things that we did is we experimented with using a Kevlar laminate compressed armor to beef up, because there were pieces that were damaged, there's helmets we get that were Kevlar helmets that were crushed or broken while we cut them and we would reinforce key points on the existing helmets to create like a threat level 4 type helmet system. This was not a bad idea, it worked quite well. And the other consideration, this sounds weird, but if you needed to make shoulder armor, what would you do? Let's see, if you had some Kevlar helmets that are already not complete, but pretty well in the right direction, couldn't you, I'm giving you a hint here, you take football armor structure. And you take a Kevlar helmet and you cut it and create crown shoulder armor for the top of your shoulder down to say halfway down the side of the arm of the forearm, you know the upper arm not forearm. And you can also do frontal armor the same way with panels off of frag or damaged all. Wait a minute that'll almost be like Star Wars armor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Am I giving you some ideas? I hope I am. So, there's something to think about. Fragged or damaged helmets don't get tossed out. They get converted over to something else. And remember that you go with hard and soft, or hard and semi-soft. The Kevlar layered with a sheet piece of sheet metal, sheet steel, layered with another piece of Kevlar on the outside. Soft on the inside, hard, and then an outer Kevlar hard panel. Hey, that would really be almost like tank armor nowadays. So, there are experiments of stuff that we've played with over the years. I've got a couple of trunkloads of Kevlar armor panels, guys, that we've experimented with and we've done firearms tests, etc. Somebody says, well, I think it will do this. I can tell you what it will do. We've done all the research and we've done it in a laboratory spec. This is how we found out about the batch of helmet issue here, by the way. I know it's not Quartermaster Friday, but it's something I want to touch on. Years ago, all of a sudden, of all people, Brigade Quartermaster got a whole bunch of these new British Kevlar helmets. Or at least they thought they did. Everybody goes, huh? Well, it turns out somebody was building plastic copies of the helmet that were the same thickness. They're designed as a parade or a safety helmet. But they weren't made out of Kevlar. And Brigade was selling these at full price and they were in sizes and they had the helmet covers and they had all the harness and everything in them. You might recall what happened is they recalled and then all of a sudden these helmets ended up not as Kevlar helmets but as utility work helmets for field operations. And they were sold for $19.95 apiece through Brigade. Well, some of the guys bought them and said, well these are, and they were very quiet about this because a lot of guys ended up with the helmets and they spread all over the country with them because they were full priced. But, oh, these are the British Kevlar. It's a little better designed than our US one with the way it sits on the head. True, but in this case, none of them were Kevlar. We tested everything from 22 to whatever, everything went through. Now, as far as them being noggin savers, Well, these things were the same thickness as the Kevlar helmets, the compressed Kevlar laminate helmet armor. So the cool thing is, as far as smacking your head into a branch or something, hey, it works just fine. But other types of protection, hey, you're screwed. Just understand that. So just because you think you know that you got something that might work, I guarantee that with the 2010 and with the Shyster mode in the government the way it is, There is no guarantee that anything that has a title on it is what the title says or does what the title implies. Oh, so you all thought they had the best because they spent the... No, they just spent a lot of money. That doesn't mean they got the best. Cool. Anyway. Just something to think about there. So I'm more interested in does the helmet do its job? Does it serve in a certain way depending upon design? That's one of the reasons about these Swiss M71s. So you guys can choose there. Now another thing that we should touch on is body armor because there's a bunch of stuff that's been coming through. Most everything works. To what degree? Varies depending upon what era slash year, but all body armor still does what it originally was supposed to do. to whatever threat level it was proposed. It was designed for, it was engineered for. Now, if you're going to be looking at body armor, one of the things to consider is, again, wallet as much as anything. Remember that fragmentation, everybody brags up fragmentation. Haven't you noticed this? What we're going to use, if you start to fire on whatever, filling the, you know, billy bad butt and the bad guys, that they're going to use indirect fire. Also, in other words, frag vests of any kind would be a plus. Well, yeah, but they don't stop rifles. That's not your point. Everybody was saying fragmentation. So secondary fragmentation or fragmentation, pellets, strands, bars, chunks of metal, whatever it's going to be, sailing through the air, are possibly going to make contact with you. Which would be better, some Kevlar between you and them or nothing? Well, chances are some Kevlar, because that wing and piece of copper wire that flew away from that grenade at the epicenter, Chances are your Kevlar will do a pretty good job of stopping most of it. It's what it was designed to do. Along with any kind of helmet. Any kind of protective gear is a plus. Is it going to stop everything? No. Is there a perfect solution to this problem? No. Contrary to what everybody thinks. Because number one, no matter what kind of a turtle you try to make anybody, body parts have to articulate. The body has to move. The legs have to bend. The arms have to bend. I would stress this because of conversations we had a couple weeks ago with some of the troops when we were discussing active combat deployment. In other words, moving militia units into the field, preparing them to fight and what to expect when they get to the ground. They put their foot on the ground, they're in motion, now they're heading into an action. What can we expect our gear to do for us? How can we expect it to perform? That's really the issues that we're looking at. And again, right now there's a bunch of Flecktar body armor that's available. There's some threat level 3 and 4 stuff out there even. You're going to have to select, depending on what your wallet can afford. It's just that simple. And hopefully it will give you some ideas there too. But anything will help. Here's an idea. Threat level 2 or a 3 body armor undercover police. Put that on first. layer a US black vest. I don't care if it's a type 56. I don't care if it's a type 62 or 65. Could be an aviator's vest from the same period high collar. It could be a later Pazgat vest. Who's Pazgat? Okay, I'll tell you what. You stand here bare-button naked and if I've got mech troops and they're going to be operational, I need to put a little extra protection on them, especially for the fast attack vehicles. Well, you take the threat to undercover armor, put it underneath the Pazgat vest, and you've got some pretty reasonable protection. without spending a whole lot of money. Now, do you keep that vest on constantly? No. Do you use it selectively? Yes. Now, you consider where it is you might want to use a vest or for that matter share the equipment. Just because you're using it, you know, right now it doesn't mean that you're going to pass it on to somebody else. Another little quick point here, you guys might have doom buggies, fast attack equipment. Let's say that you want to offer a little more protection to the troop but you don't want to armor up the vehicle that much more. Take the vest, flip it around, put the back towards the back of the seat that you're going to be resting your rear, your backside on, okay, your spine. And you now have, you've created a limited Velcro, you know, attached armored bucket for the driver or for the gunner or for the riders. Oh, that's right, because remember when you re-close that vest on that bucket seat, that high back bucket fan seat for instance, what you've got is a wraparound piece of Kevlar that's covering the back completely. Oh, and then there's a second tier, the front of the vest to the back of the chair itself. Kind of like what they did with pilots in World War II with like the P-51 Mustang or the Thunderbolts or any of the other Allied aircraft. They didn't have armor everywhere, but they did have what they called the armored bathtub that went around the cockpit. In this case, back then, that included armoring the seat itself and having wraparound panels. Today, it's the same with most aircraft. And the same can be true with your vehicle. Oh yeah, and by the way, the reason I'm doing that, I'd also put extra armor on the driver. If the driver goes, you all go with him. Anybody ever think about that? No, I want the armor. Okay, well that's cool, but if the driver goes, you all go with him. Just like the old lost in space robot or in this case with a leak. So something to consider. Whatever armor you do have prioritize it towards key positions. Number one driver number two gunners. Remember that your heaviest weapons are always manned first by the way. Vehicle operated or ground operated doesn't make any difference either way. And there again solutions not just lamenting about the problem. Hopefully, we will be able to post our YouTube videos here pretty soon. We are working on that right now. In fact, it is being worked on even as I speak today, right above me. We may have some new videos posted here pretty soon. We will let you know. We have several that are in the can now. They just have not been able to get them up on the sites. Either with Uflyx or with YouTube, so be patient. It's like there's a million things to do. It is something we are working on progressively, but it's not the... In other words, how many other things are there that you think might be priority for each day? Yeah, that's right. So we have to share time. So we're doing what we can and we'll continue to stay focused on that. I know we're going to hear the music in a minute. If you can, guys, remember that we should have... Let's see, it's Monday. Well, we should have Spike right after this, so don't sign off. We've got a lot of new programming that's been up here. A lot of them announcers that are doing a great job. Spike's been doing his part. We've got Dutch coming up after us at 8 o'clock hour. Stay tuned. And by the way, we are looking for new broadcasters, too. I'm especially interested in developing and want to develop new people. uh... we need new voices we want additional individuals were you know you know educating themselves coming up to speed plugging in and getting the job done marks not going to be around forever in this capacity yeah i'm i get old and crockety someday that's gonna happen eventually hopefully not crocky but i'm getting old so that's going to be uh... not enough just to win it's doing his part now uh... we're going to be signing off here in a minute are going to hear the music uh... one other thing go to our you tube go to our YouTube page and please if you can if you haven't done this before and only a lot of new listeners take the time to go through our YouTube page which is liberty tree radio i've mentioned several times but it won the advantages because of questions i've had that come in the mail And one of the reasons for us doing some of the videos we do is because of questions that have been asked. Well, a lot of you are still asking the same questions, and they've already been answered, and we have a YouTube page for that reason, and we have Uflicks for that reason. So take the time and go to the tube, check out our videos there. There's a lot of stuff that we actually have done in small training classes, about 10 minutes long, easy for you to watch. You sit down, you watch what's available, and then take notes. But if you want to stop, guess what? You stop, you wait for a little bit, you absorb too much, and if you're really not sure what's going on, you can break away for a minute, ask some questions, look up a few things, come back and go, oh, now I understand, now I perceive the truth. And then click, hit play. Watch it all the way through. Especially critical are the information blocks that we've done on NBC Defense, Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense. We've also touched on food and many other items. Take the time, look at them. Nancy did an excellent piece on pickled eggplant. It's that time of year, guys. We've got, I think, close to four gallons on the table right now that were just canned here in the last week. Nancy did that. Oh, you're looking succulent. If you like pickled things, oh my goodness, you're going to love pickled eggplant. So take the time and go to the page. Check out what's on YouTube. You'll find that the class that Nancy did on that is there. There are some others we haven't had a chance to put up yet. We will post those as soon as we can. Oh, the pictures, by the way, the pictures from the trip from our speaking gauge, Mount Nighthill, came out and they look fantastic. So, for everybody, including the Killam-If-You-Cross-It pasture. I'm going to be able to post those pictures hopefully here. Ed's going to work on that right now. He's busy with so many things. We've got a lot of work that's been kind of picking up here where this maintenance needs to be done, computers, you know how that is. I hear the music. Spike's coming up next. You stay tuned. Don't you go anywhere. God bless the Republic. Death of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on the march. We'll be back in about one hour here on Liberty Tree Radio. Bye-bye. The military surplus store's gone? Don't worry, you don't need one! Because everything you need at Military Surplus is at mainmilitary.com. That's M-A-I-N-E Mili- We had a big party here last night. I got a lot of great pics of the diving contest and I'm gonna send them over to a group of my friends using black-ray messenger. It makes it really, really easy. Done!
