Live 365. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You've I permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't 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 in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside 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? Dill the land of the free report I mark corny a better knife one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines, occupied territories, central, west, southeast, and northwest. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on Liberty3radio.4mg.com AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central along 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 to the Gulf of Mexico. Heading towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. A big chunk of Nebraska, then over to the third of Wyoming. High to our minor crews there driving the trucks big enough to carry two of my houses. Well, at least getting volume, is big in volume. Let's put it that way. Very slow. Yeah, not too fast, not too slow. Just right for a truck that size. 24-7 guys and they're working right now even as we speak listening to us here with the intel report in the evening. Hi and be careful on the road and then across Iowa slash Iowa once they had to our farmers and the farmer grid there then back over the Mississippi law to the old west that's right the Midwest and to the Golden Spike Project the Grandma Cruz the restaurant, teams, and all the other people out there doing their part, but especially to the Ma Bell Grammas up there in Cleveland who are now, even as we speak, planning on for the Patriot effort, invading the whole of the ghoul. That's right. Parma, Ohio will soon be part of the grid. Anyway, it is a beautiful, dark, dark day. We have a half moon out there right now. BK, what is the day today, sir? It is 15 October 2010. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. And that means that Stabine's Biscule Buns, you name it, everything in between. And if it's an A through Z category item and it's part of the tactical reserve, then it's part of Quartermaster. And our job is to give you solutions to the problems, not just what meant about them, well it's a bet. Now, a couple things here. Number one, we're going to be talking a little bit about food storage tonight again. And I will remind everybody that right all over the Midwest and the West and the South, it is the age of worshipping pumpkins right now, guys. The great pumpkin is coming. That's right. So because of that, there's lots of pumpkin, cheap pumpkin out there available. And as soon as Halloween's gone, there'll be even more. Yeah, but yeah, well not too bad. Depends where you are. Some places are poorer than others now. So the cool thing is you still can get a pretty good price. And you might even have grown some, which is really cool. Then you don't have to worry about it. Just go pick yours first. Start chopping them up, turn them into pumpkin jerky, and start sealing them up in those plastic jars. You know, like the old peanut butter containers. beer and nut containers, stuff from G.P., you know, from Gordon Foods, GF system. They've got these uniform containers for all their bulk stuff from peanuts to candies to chocolates of all types you can imagine. And those washed out make fantastic storage for dried foods. So take the time, clean them out, watch your recycling bins, and then go from there. But I'll tell you what, BK, on that note, we are looking at trying to maintain control of our inventory. and we have a few tricks of the trade there for everybody out there listening to save them time don't we well uh... my favorite uh... inventory advice to people is to keep track of what you got uh... it doesn't do a lot of good uh... to have things start away if a you don't know how much you've got and be you don't know uh... what it's worth that is in food value For that purpose, I have built a spreadsheet. Regular listeners here will have heard this spiel 20 times. There are new people all the time and I thought I would run this out. Old Butter Knife has built a spreadsheet written in open office. OpenOffice is a free open source software. You can get it at openoffice.org. It works on Macs and PCs and Linux. Linux being available in distributions that will install on curb grade PCs. There's really no excuse for anybody to say, well, I can't run a program of that size or of that type. Open office costs zero dollars and zero cents and so does old butternight's spreadsheet. The function of the spreadsheet is, on the first page, is very traditional, that is, it's a simple inventory list, an item list, its location, weight, that kind of thing. But it is configurable in that It allows you to adjust the number of calories and the percentage of calories by, you know, by percentage of fats, proteins and carbs that you want to assume and are allocatable to a single person. The defaults in this spreadsheet are 3000 calories per mandate, for instance. And within the limits of its capabilities, this thing will summarize and total What you have entered and on the fifth tab or maybe it's the fourth tab will show you summaries broken down by man days of proteins, fats and carbs. So if you tell it that you have 50 pounds of rolled oats and 27 number four cans of peaches and light juice and so on and so forth down the list. It will show a summary on the last page of how many mandates of carbs and proteins and fats everything comes to so that you can see how far this is actually going to go. Because I think that a lot of people have stacked up a little bit of food somewhere, maybe filled up a closet or covered a little 4x4 square in the basement or something along those lines. and can step back and look at it and say, oh man, that looks like a whole lot of food to me, I'm all set. But if they entered all of that data into the spreadsheet and looked at it mathematically to see how long it would actually last, they'd say, uh oh, I'm way short on fats and we've only got 127 mandates here to begin with. So that was my purpose in writing this thing. Now, the easiest place to get it is to access the files area in the Yahoo group. That's at groups.yahoo.com. Search for Liberty Tree Radio and you'll find it. That does require one, do a free sign up for people that are shy about doing that sort of thing. If you don't have a buddy to do it for you, then you can pick up a copy also. a current copy right now from snare-trap-survive.com. That is our friend, Buckshot's website. He posted a copy there. We have other websites where it has been posted, but those are obsolete copies, so you may as well get the current ones. The price for this marvel of software engineering from OBK is a traditional price among us. That is $0.00 and 0 cents. and I guarantee you worth more than you will pay for it. That is the spreadsheet and that is the single most important thing I would recommend that people do to get their food storage going. There is of course the boots on the ground aspect of actually buying and storing and packaging this stuff. But if you have done something, Set aside columns of cans or sacks of whatever grains, rice, beans, etc. Then it is important that you know what you have and how far along you have gotten what you have accomplished. Because if you're stumbling around in the dark, you're probably not going to locate your destination. So that is available at those two locations, the Yahoo group or at Bugshots. snare trap survive website. Download the spreadsheet, download OpenOffice, install both of them. They will cost you absolutely nothing except a little bit of your time. And with that tool in hand, you will actually know what you've accomplished. Go ahead. Most important here is that for a lot of people are trying to figure out how can I manage this or how can I figure out what I need. Well, you don't have to guess. The resources are there. Somebody's already worked out the technology. And remember, you do multiples. Why? Well, if you needed more than the scale that's already listed, then guess what? Expand the numbers, multiply by, how that works. And especially when we're looking at food reserves for large numbers of people, remember, when you're looking at visitors, so to speak, in other words, allies showing up, that kind of thing. Yeah, call them, there we go, house guests. Look at volume and bulking stuff out to compensate for numbers. And what I mean by that is, hey guys, roll up. I'm telling you, it ain't going to be exciting. Congratulations. You mean you didn't prepare and I told you to? I hope you like rolled oats. Round two, by the way. But volume foods. You're going to need volume foods just to fill up the empty space as much as anything and clean water. I know it sounds weird, but remember in emergency situations you stretch everything by making more soup. How do you stretch the soup? Well, the fall has failed to add more water. Clean water is as critical as anything else. So potable water, there are an important component. Hydration. Water is life. So these are all part of the storage program that you need to look at and we have the ability to put right in your lap. All you've got to do is take your computer seriously as they're playing video games with it. DOPE! That's exactly how it works guys. The tools are in your hands already or typically on your desk or on your laptop or you know it should be in your lap quote unquote there you go. We are at the point now where people consider a Pentium II or Pentium III machine to be not worth the space that it takes up. That means that you can have a perfectly functional machine, a little bit more sluggish, but perfectly operational for nothing. These things go out on the curb. People give them away, they give them to the kids, the kids turn their noses up at them and so on. These are in circulation machines that cost $2,000 a decade ago. You can have for free and that is adequate to run a spreadsheet. More than adequate you've got more storage space you know what to do with with a system like that that would be fantastic spreadsheet does not need to respond to a joystick in real time or anything of those sorts if you Overload the machine to a degree that just means you're going to see the hourglass a little bit more before you get your screen display So what you know there you will still get your results You will still spend ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine nine percent of your time machine idling waiting for keystrokes So that will work. You can have a machine dedicated purely to this purpose if you want. You will not have any money out of pocket if you use these garage sale and curb grade machine components. And if you do not have the software for it, Linux is free and open source as well. And it has gotten to the point where it is no more difficult to install than Windows is. This was not always the case. Once upon a time it was rather a hellish procedure, but that was a long while ago. So you have many, many options. There's really no excuse to say, well, I can't do anything fancy with a computer. I'd have to spend XYZ amount of money. No, you don't. And most important here too is remember guys, you commit the computer to bookkeeping and operations. You wouldn't even need even a Pentium. You can do this with any number of older machines. One key thing here is there are so many pieces of equipment laying around in resale shops out on the curb. I've got one, two, three, four, five machines right here on my left. And I've got one that is operational, that's plugged in right now. The others are all pack ups that are all sitting on standby. They're all perfectly operational. One of them is, of course, my favorite. I got Presario to me as like a 57 Chevy. It's not that it's critical to own, but it's just neat because they did so many cool things with a compact Presario. They just look intricate. It looks like it should be. I can't throw them away. It sounds weird, but it's true. Did I hear a beep? Do we have a color? We might. Who do we have? This is Tony from Northern Idaho. Jump in there, sir. Go ahead. A couple of comments and a question. Just digging up a couple of rows of potatoes. And for those that don't have a garden, a few bags of potatoes will last a long time because they are sprayed with something to keep them from sprouting. If you have a cool dark place, there is a lot of food value. The Irish lived on them for hundreds of years. They don't grow just about anywhere for people who have got poor soil. Next, about the pumpkin. I'm going to plan on getting some right after the holiday. My question is, when you dry them, do you dry them on the skin or do you peel the meat away from the skin. The reason I asked is I was told that any smooth skinned fruit you can eat the skin. Right, as a matter of fact we've done it both ways. Now the first we did last year where we were doing a new recipe, we skinned. We just blanched a little, they were smaller pumpkins, you know, so you can throw them right in the blancher like the big canter, canter croc, and we blanched them and then peeled the skin and sliced them up accordingly. that's not necessary because the just as quickly all the other batches i've done and the batch of i've done you know batch of the mission we're still chewing on right now in fact i think i would i got back from knob creek and i found that well i don't know how there's only a quarter of what i put in the jar left in the jar i don't know where it went but somebody only while i was gone no no no no no it can be what i did the last several times i just left the skin right on it uh... it it is completely edible certainly it's not in fact uh... interestingly enough it seems that it uh... obvious obviously softer after it's been dried because i've never had a problem with the fifty or anything like that uh... the flavoring of the big thing using molasses or brown sugar or like any combination would say cinnamon uh... another thing you can use is not made won't they still need to have pumpkin e like pumpkin pie flavoring you know going uh... so you can make different flavor batches up uh... we do the same thing when i roast pianists and i think it's a sure so far but you go to the mill you get great to shelved peanuts that are unroasted they should carry feed peanut now the only risk in them and the ones who make peanut butter out of don't ask me why they don't make peanut butter out of these is that the great to peter are ugly f strange shapes well i think when they're peanut butter you'd never notice that but i don't ever look at the jar and yeah i think that That's weird. To me, it's like why wouldn't you make these into the peanut butter? They're the oddball. There's nothing wrong with them. So between the pumpkin jerky, home roasted peanuts, and a lot of the other dried foods that we do, we dry everything. Let's see, I just did the oregano here a little bit ago. We just did a bunch of the mint. I know we've got a ton more out there. basil but you know all the spices so you can mix up nicely we've gone sweet with the pumpkin jerky but you don't have to you could go into more of a cooking flavor that and a very table yeah it was fantastic very tasty when they're just a balsamic vinegar was the one that she did the one batch in so the the pumpkin is very very versatile incredibly nutritious my favorite is also incredibly cheap And it doesn't make any difference if it's a jack o'lantern pumpkin or a baking pumpkin or a white pumpkin or whatever else. The other option is to do it for squash, use squash too, which we've done squash and use the same technique. I did two squash here a month ago. The first squash we got off the plants, I sliced them up and did those as a squash jerky and oh man, those things turned out really good. I'll have to try that next year. But I'm going to get some of the jack-o'-lantern pumpkins and try drying them. And have you had any satisfaction with saving the meat out of them and running them through a fully food mill to make pumpkin pie filling? How do the field pumpkins work? Oh yeah, all day. The biggest problem we have with that is years ago, it's not a problem. The reason we don't do as much canned pumpkin is because for years we had, as part of our food reserve, several hundred number ten cans of pumpkin that we got from Libby. We had, when all the Libby plants left Michigan and went to Mexico, all of the reserves from the adjacent companies were in the warehouses down here in like Adrian, Michigan, not far from where the Wutarians that it was, in Blissfield actually, and it was a dollar a can. for the food because whenever you see pumpkin pie, like the pumpkin pie coming out right now for the Thanksgiving season, it is made from real pumpkin, but what they do is they can the pumpkin, in many cases from last year or they save it up, and then they'll process it for the season that they need to. Like the pie pumpkin will even be processed right now canned, then they'll turn around, open the cans, and use it to make Libby or whatever name brand pumpkin pie is out there. sound strange but because of that it's an unflavored just flat pumpkin and you can cookies you know cakes you can do soup a lot of people don't realize that uh... you know just like you squash ships you can do pumpkin soup the same way so popular and i want to but uh... uh... i my wife does a lot of canning and i help her up with that uh... that probably roman cool personal trying and can for pie filling. You have to have some of the goodies after everything goes south just to make things feel a little better. Something like pumpkin and potatoes can be handed out to somebody who has absolutely nothing and they will get decent nutrition out of it. I'd be happy, to be quite honest. For instance, like a patrol ration, I like to use the dried foods. When I was in the military, I would deal with a lot of guys. When the MREs first came out, they had all the freeze dried stuff. Everybody threw it out. Now everybody wanted to be in Recondo, everybody wanted to be on the ORRP. Well all the word prations everybody always bragged up about, that's all they were, were freeze dried foods. You got freeze dried beef patties, pork patties, potato patties, and the potato patties were like McDonald's hash browns. The pork and beef patties were fantastic. We were like kings. And you had people turning up their nose at this grade A food in Tosto. Well, I collected every bit of it. So when I went out in operations, my pack was all filled with premium grade, whatever I chose to make up to my needs. The advantage of this is you can throw in all these dried foods and you get 100% of the nutritional value. I mean, pretty much there's nothing lost with drying. It's like freeze drying is the same way, but freeze drying is more intricate. With regular drying, you can do this like, oh, let's see, papaya slices. You know how you've seen papaya slices in the store? I can't say that I have. Oh, okay. Well, you can do papaya slivered slices, but do the pumpkin that way and flavor it up. You can sugar it. You can do it as a, you know, so it tastes more like a meal item rather than a candy item. But either way, it's a treat. Well, you've got the right idea. You've got to have something to mix up the meals. And it doesn't need to be everything that everybody loves right away. One of the things that we have to remember is the reason something else is special is because it's different from all the regular, you know, like the the the tedium as we would call it. But I haven't found anything we eat that's really tedious. You know, I mean, for me, it's like, wow, it's clean. It's tasty. I can add stuff to it. I don't have any dull food in front of me that I can think of. No, I mean, I'm not starving. I got my mint dried and I got most of my seeds ready for next year. That's a long experiment to learn to save your seeds, but I've been pretty successful at it. Well, thanks a lot for saying that. We might be coming out again pretty soon to Idaho and Montana. Oh, that's a long trip for me. That cost me a couple hundred bucks to go down there. No! Well, we'll see what we can do. Okay, come a little further north. I think we can do that. Alright, thanks for coming out. God bless. Okay. And next caller, who do we have? Indiana? No way! Nice boy, yeah! I used to eat like a king too. Hear, king, hear, king! I have some information to relive. from tonight and he couldn't speak, he typed in some long-handed... Well go right ahead, he's in exotic places so getting the word out is tougher. Well, what he got was related to how they felt that Turkey has severed different three, Turkey has increased readiness and Turkey's special repeat, Turkey's special training cycles. You know we kind of expected this too because, and by the way, anybody who, when they hear about Turkish troops, sometimes they think it's funny, you know, everybody should know better than that. Anybody who was around with the Turks when they were in Korea, they were on our side by the way. The Chinese were terrified of their good fighters. The reason is the Turks actually wanted close order combat. They preferred getting in with a bayonet. It doesn't mean they wouldn't use their rifles, but if they could get to the point where they could use the blade, it was one of those things that the Greeks were the same way. That's why they kept those bayonets sharp, well, actually combat sharp, which is not razor sharp, and scoured. I can understand, the Turks, everybody in the Middle East knows what's really going on there. How that's going to develop, we'll see with regard to the Gaza, etc. I think the biggest part of the country that is getting more pressure put on them than the Israelis is Egypt. Because for all of it sucking up Egypt, the management in Egypt has got a big problem because everybody else in the United Arab Republic is looking at them and going what the hell? You have sold your soul. It is one of those things that can only last so long. You will be known by your bedfellows right? Yeah exactly and if your bedfellows are the big problem. on the block here, all the Israelis, who, you know, they're Sovietized as the day is long. It's sad, but it's an act to mean that even though the Egyptians got communist aid during the Cold War, you know, it's still what's really sick is the characters are in charge of the Israeli government are more communist than the communists that were running the communist training operations, as far as the trainers that were from supposedly a communist state, in many cases. These characters have sold out to everybody, especially the Israelis, they are in bed from their end with China. Look at all the things we have seen come full circle here. Turkey is not ignorant of the situation. Remember back during Desert Dust 2, the adventure continues. We made the big announcement we were going to run through Turkey. We were going to land troops and invade and start a second front. Immediately the Turks started bombing Masonic temples in Turkey. and all of a sudden the announcement was that there wasn't going to be any second front in Turkey. And that's an historical fact by the way guys. It was in the news for about a day and then they shut up about, whoa, wait a minute, they didn't say they were bombing the Turkish government. People who were dissidents were bombing the Masonic temples. And all of a sudden everything stopped. Whoa, in other words they weren't stupid. They weren't bombing their own government and their own government buildings. Their taxes paid for that. They went after somebody behind the scenes, and obviously they knew who they were. Turkey's got some interesting things going on there. Here's another one. Think about this. There's a neighbor there next to Turkey we haven't heard anything about for a while. What happened to Kurdistan, guys? They're kind of off in the... The funny thing is, you don't hear anything about this in our media. That's... Israel's getting ready to blow the snot out of them. Oh, I got hit with a... I did a guzzle. The latest spin now is we have gone through a big phase of saber rattling making a case, at least with the US population, about why we might have to tangle with Iran. They're starting in on Venezuela, of course. That's the other country that refused to price oil in dollars. And now they're carrying on that Venezuela has cut a deal for a nuclear energy plant and they're starting to begin the whisper campaign in the press. Oh, that means they're making bombs. So that means we'll probably be stepping up operations through Colombia, which is our proxy in the area. to make incursions into Venezuela. That's something that I have heard we have been doing for a while, but they'll probably be doing more of it. Interestingly enough, tying that in too is, well, first by going back to the Middle East issue, you know, when you hear about these things about, well, you know, and they flew out and they went over, you know, they snuck into so-and-so's airspace. Guys, if you look at the size of these countries, you don't sneak anywhere. If you have to, you know, although violating somebody's airspace is not, I mean, how can you not? You know, that's the other thing we gotta laugh about because look at the size of these countries when you're talking about anything around with Israel and, you know, Jordan and, you know, Lebanon. Hey, look, I violated airspace. Oh, I'm gone. I mean, as quick as you can. It's like, whoa, hurry. I think we violated 11 Earth's airspace. Are you sure? Yeah, it took about three seconds, but I think we did. Yeah, and we're already gone too, but you know, hey, this will be an interesting incident. So the problem you got is it's the buffer countries around them like Iraq, which of course we've opened up by invading, and then you've got the Persian Gulf itself, which is a pretty chunk of real estate. They can do some lefts, rights, lefts, rights, ups, downs, and end up flying nap of the wave. But then otherwise, they've got to try and come in from the north, and the country you just mentioned, That's kind of the radar block and the physical block towards Iran. Even if they come into Kurdistan, Turkey is the dominant military power in that block of the neighborhood. And their real estate and their air defense and everything overlaps Kurdistan completely. If they suspect anything, they will be tied into this so fast to make everybody's head swim. And they are a major, the other interesting thing, remember they are a NATO power. They are a NATO ally. So what is NATO going to do here? Are they going to go war to war against themselves? There are all kinds of political ramifications. Somebody thinks they are going to step in or they are going to do this or they are going to do that. This whole thing can shift around so quickly. It will look worse than a Shogun episode. Oh, they were on our side. No, they were not on their side. No, they betrayed us all. Even as they deployed, they've turned around and flip-flopped and changed sides. Oh, one die! Oh, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. You know, I mean, that's exactly what the kind of games that are being played right now. And we're not going to be brought up to speed on it. You're absolutely right about that, too. What they're seeing overseas is very different from what we're seeing here. Then tie in the Venezuelan scenario, and I think that the only difference between that is, remember back in the day it was Granada. But Granada was the one. I could have one of those. Alright, one of those too. Brown one. Brown Granada. Yeah, I think we were talking about, that's weird you brought that up. We were talking about those the other day. It's like where the hell did they all go? You know what I mean? I don't know. Mine ended up in a junkyard. Yeah, well eventually we know. And they didn't all end up there, did they? I mean, come on, they were a 70's car. We got cars from 1957 still hanging around. There should be a Ford Granada somewhere. That was Ford's follow on after the Falcons. Right, or, or... Well the Fairmont was the Falcon the Granada was supposed to be their big car like you know the replacement for the LTD Just kind of went into 20 the Twilight Zone has nothing to do with the islands. I was just talking about the Granada the Granada the I'll begin on islands remember the Russians were you know going to expand the airbase which they had the Cubans around the ground Yeah, and everybody decided we had to go save the students. It's like okay that really didn't have a whole lot to do with anything except, well, whatever American spy students we had there, they probably were happy to get pulled out. In this case with Venezuela, I'll tell you what, for anybody who thinks, oh, Venezuela, we'll just walk in. Over, what is it now, six or seven years ago, see, it isn't recent, it's seven years ago, they already started installing that AK-74 factory that's now cranking out AK-74s. Was it as far as I thought it was 47's? the old Warsaw Pact could provide. Right a while back they made a deal with Russia, I think it was, and they bought 100,000 rifles and a factory. So by now the factory is undoubtedly cranking out more rifles and spares. This is also by the way the same thing. People forget this is what happened with India. See India was in the sphere of influence of England, I say, and still is. but going back way way back to the crime in wars and all of those remember india and upon job and of course northern india was in contest between who england and russia so even though the communists have been in place and even with all the other political long-term overview politics are such that it wasn't big or even difficult difficult for the uh... indians to switch over to russian technology which they did First, they bought a lot of the rifles, then they bought a factory to do AKs in. They produced a contract T-72, which is now technically a T-90, with all the updates. Venezuela was looking at the same thing. So when we, just as an order of battle, if you want to take a look at the imagery, and the Venezuelans are playing this up big time, the equipment, there's no doubt it's Venezuelan, because they make a point of putting their name on everything. And the national colors are splashed everywhere. So when you see the MiG-29s laying on the tarmac there, don't be surprised. And again, total update, total change in the overall, you know, their overall order of battle doesn't mean they've thrown any other equipment out. This is like Mexico or any other country other than the US. They don't throw anything out. They've still got all of their Russian equipment, they've got all their American equipment, they've got French. Back in the 70s to the 80s, the french were allowed to dominate of the arms for the armor now p.m. up the whole arms market cuz their smaller didn't catch on but in the armor market the french were able to get in there big time and they provided a lot of interest south america that still there in force and they have they have maintained it so i'll including the little armored car looks like a little gremlin on steroids it doesn't like a grand first enough what the hell did you build an armored gremlin It looks just like a little grime, a little longer snout, but other than that it's a grime one. Very well armored, very fast. Ken actually was rated a little above the Hummer in every category just about, but he designed specific as an APO like a light recon APC. So that's something that's out there. But Venezuela still has now also all the upgrades and it's the oil money that's allowed them to do it. I think that's the other half, guys that really P.O.'s the bankers, the bring knockers, because they drove up the prices and figured that they were going to profit from pilfering Venezuela's oil, Iran's oil, Iraq, whoever. The countries that stayed out of the nonsense benefited from that wave of resource and that's what they've done is they've converted it into hardware. It's hard for them to plunder the U.S. market by running up the oil price. without also putting some money in the pockets of, for instance, Venezuela. One of the things that Chavez did when he first came in, he said, look, they'd like to have better relations with the U.S. and we will provide you as much oil as you want at very favorable terms if you will do two things. And the two things are quit jerking the oil price up and down. That really causes a lot of problems. And they knew perfectly well that it was manipulated. And the second one was quit sending in assassination teams against our president. OK? You know, we're catching these guys. They're all CIA and Mossad. We don't like it. It's not fair. You're not supposed to do it. Quit doing it. And GW told them to bugger off on both fronts. Since then they have been the focus of evil in the western hemisphere according to our corporate media. We have been rattling sabers at them ever since. Do we have anything else that we need to... Bill, go ahead. We've got more to cover. Anything else, please? Good night and I'll bless. Very good. Thank you, sir. Thank you for passing the info. We'll say hi to Brad officially. Brad, we got the message. Thank you, sir. I know they're listening in one form or another, though they're in a very remote location and hard to contact. Go ahead, BKANO. We've got more, sir. OK. So we discussed earlier this hour how to keep track of what you have. And one of the topics I'd like to also touch on is where do you get stuff to keep track of. A vendor that I've not mentioned very much along the way is Costco. Not everybody has one nearby. Almost everybody will have a Sam's Club somewhere nearby. That's very widely distributed and it's in the same general class. There are fewer cost codes. They are spreading out across the country, but they didn't get Clinton drug money to expand as rapidly as the Walmart. Oh, did I say that? At any rate, they did not expand as rapidly as the Walmart empire did. Therefore, they're doing it themselves, and it's a little slower and more gradual. But if you have one in your area, You can go in there and ask them if you'd like that. Can you have a lookie-loo and just wander around and take a look at things and they're happy to do that. That also is one of these membership places. You have to pay them for a card annually, just like Sam's does. So I went into a local one here and gathered up a few example prices. If anybody wants to make notes, This will give you some data that you can use to compare against your local grocery store and help decide whether you think this is worthwhile for you. Now you have to make your own calculations about how far this is and what does it cost to drive to the one that's closest to you, is there one in the area, etc. But I went down the Rice aisle and what I found as of today is that they are offering blue ribbon rice, that's a garden variety California grown long white rice. 25 pound sacks there run $6.65. Now that's by far the cheapest of the items I'm about to call out. But there are also some other variations, even for a warehouse operation they have some other alternatives. They have a Kokooh brand at 25 pounds for $18. I'm not going to call out the pennies too closely. That one, my notes are not very detailed, but I think that's a medium grain white rice, a polished one. They have a brand of Jasmine at 25 pound sacks for 15 and a quarter. They have one brand of brown rice at 12 pounds for $14. Now I'm a big fan of brown rice. It requires more care in storage than white rice does. You have to make a point of depriving it of oxygen because it contains oils that can go rancid in time. It does not go bad as fast as people would have you believe. but you do have to package it airtight and preferably with nitrogen and or oxygen absorbers, etc. We've discussed those on other evenings. And they also carry basmati at 20 pound sacks for 14 and a half. The other thing I would like to mention is that while I was in there I noticed that they have plastic jugs. Popcorn is jolly thyme brand. that is a recognizable brand and those are twelve and a half pounds for nine dollars which uh... which basically means and that's that's packaging that is about as good as you can reasonably you know require or something like popcorn uh... you can of course with that in your own plastic bags if you wanted to uh... you know a bag around the job at the plastic job the p e t plastic job is pretty good packaging So, it does not necessarily break the bank to pick up a sack or two of any of these items, or a jug or two of popcorn, for instance, and get started. So, those are some price points that you can use to compare against your grocery store or your local WALL-E or what have you and decide whether it's worthwhile. to locate and perhaps drive to and get a car from a Costco. Just yet one more distribution point that we can exploit as we start putting aside this material. Well you mentioned a very critical item here this time of year but also because of our call earlier about what we consider to be cheer foods. Don't underestimate popcorn. Popcorn is a really nice pick-me-up. It's a nice change. It creates a psychological effect because of what we relate popcorn to, show time, entertainment, family get-together, camaraderie, that kind of thing. The native Indians had popcorn. What do you think it came from? It's one of the many places. Of course, it was actually in many variation forms, or many forms. But originally, the mother of corn is actually what, you know, it was used for popcorn. It was used for popcorn, more than it was for meal. And then progressively was developed in North America. And there are still, if you go to, for instance, non-hybrid seed companies, forgive me, the name, just on the tip of my tongue, too, the breed of plant, that is the mother of corn, is actually designed to be popped, and it's micro kernels, BK, but real tiny, tiny micro kernels. That's what it was actually bred and grown for in the native population with the Indian tribes here in North America. They actually used it as a popping corn. After it's popped, it's about a quarter of an inch in diameter, I think. Yeah, it was really tiny, really neat. It's like Barbie Delphi size, but we have better than that. One cool thing too is all popcorn is non-hybrid. by the very nature of what it's, you know, the industry. A lot of the people who produce popcorn do it. It's done as a camo, right? Yeah, it's done as a competition thing. There's a whole culture, just like there are for beekeepers, there is a whole subculture of people who grow popcorn purely for the sake of growing popcorn because they're into it. There are competitions, there are different breeds of popcorn, there are different colors, different flavor ranges, different shapes. So remember popcorn is a really cool item and easy to grow but you've got to keep it tight. You want to make sure you get a good crop every year to replace because you want to eat some but you want to also be able to put some in storage for seed. And if you're buying it off the shelf that's not a problem. And again put a mix in there guys. Be creative. Separate the styles and breeds and then throw in some of the other goodies with that. You've got yourself a pretty nice shift in food stocks. You don't need it every night. You don't like it used to be. It's why we have birthday cakes. We don't have a birthday cake every day. You're supposed to have a birthday cake when you have an event. A birthday! So the same is true with a lot of the other unique foods. You pick a day, that's the day everybody figures, alright, it's Saturday night. We're going to plug in a movie and the VHS machine and the DVD. That's our squandering of electricity for the whole week. It makes the event important it benchmarks the timeline and it it breaks the uh... you know the monotony which is really critical uh... even in the bible remember that sixty-two work uh... the seventh day you rasp remember that sunday thing you know course at the same thing there so there's multiple purposes actually breaks up the uh... working on week the whole nine yards you're properly uh... showing reverence to the creator for providing all that you have etc. etc. The rest is history. and there's nothing better than real life buttered popcorn. Especially if you're scrounging around and you haven't quite figured out how to use all those grains and things seem a little bit bland and so on and so forth. If you can pop up with an event item like honest to gosh buttered popcorn you are eating high on the hog. Now we handled this on December 5, 2008. That's when we discussed the canning procedures for butter. You can pick this stuff up on sale at your local grocery store or Aldi or wherever it is that you shop. Go ahead and use the standard home canning materials, the jars and lids and all that kind of good stuff. The procedure is a little bit different. But you can actually can I would like to mention that our archives are on theintelligensereport.co.cc, kindly maintained by Spike. That is theintelligensereport.co.cc. If you are interested in hearing how you can can butter, that is the 2008 December 5th. We talked about canning butter and baking butter. We also talked about canning bacon. That's a little more expensive. Another one of those yummy comforts. We've been at this a little while and we've covered a number of topics. One of the ways we can leverage that instead of just repeating things endlessly is to reference the programs that we already did. And they are an archive. People can go to that site and pull down an MP3 and play it and they get a whole other hour of BK nattering on about this or that topic. Most important here too guys is a variety. We've repeated this, our quarter master. Remember that at different times of the year you're going to have to take advantage of bounty as it comes in in waves. Now this is difficult for some people because they're not used to dealing in volume. You have to start looking at production. The growing cycles are... farmers do this constantly year-round, guys. They do it on a massive scale and they feed the nation. You can do it locally. In fact, there are some excellent books on the subject. living off five acres or feeding a family off five acres. There's a number of different books on the subject. They talk about going down to those two or three acres and being able to do a family of... But most of the little plans include marketing and selling excess. And traditionally farms, all farms, were completely self-contained. Every aspect of production complemented the other components of production. So nothing was really wasted. There is no waste on a farm if the farm is managed properly. There are simply cycles of life and step by step usage to the point where you even use the squeak, the clock, the moo and the grunt. You know, depending on what it is. Most of us do not aspire to become farmers. This is a bridging technology. That's right. The idea is to get through to the other side so we can go back to having some specialties and that sort of stuff. we need to become more generalists during the coming crisis. And especially, well like again, what we said, you know, the other thing was brought up were potatoes. Let's not forget this time of year, now for instance, here in Michigan, BK, we have the potato farmers taking their crop right now, and through the next couple of weeks, potatoes will come down dramatically in price if you're willing to go up through the Midland area, the middle part of the, well, Midland, Michigan, actually it's Midland, I'm not just saying the middle of Michigan. Midland, Michigan area, across the state and up through the middle of the state and even east and west along the coast. Farm stands will be loaded up with 50 and 100 pound bags of cheap potatoes, but there'll be high quality potatoes. There's another solution, build a root cellar. Put the stuff in the root cellar. If you didn't use it, you're not out anything. Remember that you also then have feed for next year. So you can get into growing potatoes. It's another thing to think about. Everything we're talking about is an insurance policy. Instead of giving the money to somebody else, you're managing the money yourself. You convert the money into resource, and you put the resource on the shelf. How you manage it, and even allowing for slippage. In other words, okay, I can't use all of it, but if I need it within the next three months, 200 pounds of potatoes, especially with a whole bunch of heifers, you know, like a bunch of guys my size, working outside coming in to eat. Trust me guys, they're going to be hungry. You want to keep them working at a certain level, you have to feed them at a certain level. More rice, more beans, more rolled oats. No, it doesn't have to be super fancy. You fill them up with that and you throw the goodies on like all the stuff we're talking about. That popcorn after you're done and you've eaten and you've rested for a little bit. Plug that movie into the VCR while one guy peddled the crank generator. Let's hope we get a battery for storage that we didn't have to do that. Horn comes in there. Yay, by the way, you can throw out some other little goodies to chew on. Everybody gets a couple chunks of pumpkin jerky. Same when they're going out to the field or you're going out to work or you have to travel. If you're moving from point A to point B, let's say that we had to leave and move through an area. MREs are not going to last forever because they're going to be eaten. It's not that they're going to wear out and go bad. It's that they're consumables. And everything that we're talking about putting on storage in the way of food is a consumable. It may last a little longer. One of the other things, we've got to remind everybody, guys, if you're talking about butter and you're talking about popcorn, think you better have some extra salt in storage too. Yeah, that's entirely silly to not have 100 pounds of salt on hand. Exactly. There again. And salt stores forever, literally. I've got salt that's been in storage for Well actually we cycled through but our oldest one container right now that I just looked at on the shelf I think is 1991. Well look at it this way. It sat under those ancient lake deposits for a hundred million years. Do you think it's going to go bad next week? Wait a minute. Well BK that can't be true because when I go to the grocery store salt has a two year expiration date. Yeah so do plastic bags. Does it work that way? Are they lying to me? It's the same salt that will be sitting there staring at you until you use it 10 years from now. Congratulations, you saved a whole lot of money and they were stupid enough to get rid of it. So you can forget the Fiocchi for the time being. AIM Surplus still has Pervi Partizan, the same 2-2-3, 62 grains at $300 per thousand. But do not assume that that price is going to remain. The Fiocchi went from $300 to $390, came off of sale. So when we call these things out, don't expect that they're going to be there forever. You do want to act on them. If you need that, grab it while it's still on sale. The dollar is tanking. Everything is going to start getting more and more expensive. The metals that go into it are climbing. Do not get too complacent about the cost of softening up. because metals are fungible. Everybody on the planet uses them. And our company's harm miners will be very happy to sell them to foreigners for more money than you can afford. So get what you can afford now while you still can afford it because this stuff is going to be going up too just like everything else. Centerfiresystems.com has AK-47 75 round drum mags for $69.99 apiece. That's $70. $69 apiece, but they are on sale and I've seen them. They're excellent quality. I'm pretty sure these are the Korean. Yes, they are. Korean manufacturer, 75 round down drum. It's their knockoff of the Chai Com AK-47 drums that were available 20 years ago. Good price, still not $20 apiece, but hey, come on. $69.99, $30 savings.

The Sportsman's Guide still has those Swiss hockey puck filters. 20 of them for $25. If you don't have a couple, three, 20 packs, grab them. In fact, you need them. Everybody who has picked them up has raved about them, B.K. Well, we're at the top. God bless the Republic. Yes, to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march for day and night. The Quartermaster's job is to make sure the militia stays in the field, fed and ready to fight. We'll make sure that happens. Thank you, B.K. Good evening. and we've got Dutch Jones coming up right behind the scene around Liberty Tree Radio so we're signing off. You guys have a good weekend.
