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 a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark clunky and I'm Donald betcher 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 well ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg dot com, pbn dot 4mg dot com and we are on live 365 then go to Liberty Tree Radio we're also on AM and FM micro stations CB Bay stations and Ultra Net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska.

Home of the Ghoul and, well, I'll tell you what, oh, let's not forget, there is a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday. Full attendance, five o'clock as usual, sharp if you're not there, you're missing out, and bring transportation, van, truck, or trailer. You're gonna need it, a lot of hardware showing up. One of the telecommunications companies has seen the light, a smaller one, but they're handing over all their old tech rather than destroying it, which is what Gooberman apparently was going to try and demand. They do not have no compensation down. They just want them to destroy it. So it's like, nah, we don't think we will. And of a hardware is headed our way. So congratulations and thank you. And also thank you to Charter Communications for the donation that was made in roundabout A from that company. We greatly appreciate that too. Don, today's date is... Mark, it is the 27th day for 2027. One in the chain magazine is in the well-lit. Opportunity core, suit for surround. By the way, I heard some other beats. We may have some patient listeners or we have some callers. Do we have a caller? How's the unit here? King from the winter. That's sunroof. Oh, wow, dudes. I didn't expect that one. Whoa. Well, don't worry. If anything happens, Habitat for Humanity down here has got some really phenomenal deals right now. We can replace everything for super cheap. So just let us know. I mean, super cheap. It's really nice stuff too. Including gutters and soffit and all kinds of insulation and you name it, it's down here and they're really, really people friendly. So that's a lot of fun. It happens Wednesday. I've been looking around, I know, I promised I'd do this a couple times during the day I did a quick surveys and you know, I don't know where they went. And I don't know, I mean, until I go to the jobbers, I haven't been able to make any calls the last two days. volume foreign handguns in the standard patterns I mean come on guys you know I mentioned star pistol how many people understand how big star is how big it has been even if we're already dead and gone in the last few years star handguns were out there in mass star produced in much the same vein as Smith and Wesson or Beretta or you name it go right on down the list star is just as notorious and just as famous other firearms company that's on the planet. As far as trying to find stuff coming in, even any new line of star or any variations of the star weapon systems of any kind, handguns guys, they make pistols. For years they made a knockoff of the 1911. Then they branched out and did some 9mm pistols with the 1911 type lines, but more in the Smith and Wesson vein of how their operating actions worked. And this went back and forth for quite some time with star. They produced some beautiful stacked magazine 45s before anybody else did. That's something most people don't credit them for. Star and Llama did some unique stuff and produced some one of a kind pistols that didn't catch on with people thinking, oh I've got to have one of those until the last few years here. In the last three to five years where you start to see staggered mag 45 chopped pistols where they're shorter and they're shorter and slide and shorter and height guys. It's like you're holding a corn cob because the magazine is like half a corn cob, okay? And those pistols are out there in force. Now if you've got a big hand, not a problem. And also it's a way to get a lot of .45 firepower there at close range. Star did it first, despite what everybody talks about stuff. Produced, in fact I carried for quite some time. One of the Star Staggered Mag .45 ACP pistols, very, very reliable, very durable. magazines were cheap because aftermarket mags were made. It became popular with a lot of people as an undercover gun for a period of time and then kind of fell out of grace for other weapons because you know there's always a new weapon that you wear out there, you know the new weapon of choice, you know the weapon of trade and choice. But llama is another one. Llama made 45 knockoffs. All of these companies made 9mm pistols galore because they were European companies so they market to the Europeans in South America. Try and find some. I mean, traditionally in the past you could at least find a stack of fill in the blank. You know, llama 45s, llama 9mm and whatever the latest flavor is. Or again, one of the other things they did is as Smith and Wesson went into the airweights, so the Europeans tried to copy the lines to try and pick up part of that market. And where they really did well, Don, was with the stars. You know, the star pistols had air weight 9mm pistols that compared in terms of relative performance, very popular with pilots. That's why aluminum came into play. Not so much because of undercover cops and all that. The aluminum or air weight receivers were designed to again shave weight off but give the pilots the same fire power as any of the other weapons they might carry. The critical issue there was, you know, why, you know, if you're, if you're gonna use them, familiarize yourself, train with them a bit, but don't, don't abuse them. One of the tricks to that, to be quite honest, would be to buy, for instance, one of the air weight J-frame Smith & Wesson's, and what you do is you buy a Model 36 to train with. And the reason is they're the same frame, same configuration as far as volume, but of course a much lighter pistol. The air weights were a much lighter pistol in general. Same was true with the automatics. They made air weight semi-automatic pistols, and they made all steel frame versions. And then of course later on stainless steel came into play. Vamma and Rossi is another company. There's another one. Where'd all those bursas go? Oh yeah. The Bursa pocket pistol, guys. and it's not like everything i gotta have a clock of most people can afford a six hundred dollar pistol i'm sure it's just how it works you know they might save up for but this is not the sixties or seventies with everybody with you know how to feel like but uh... decent paying job and basically could you know spend what they wanted there was a little break breather in between there with a spot me in the eighties but uh... it with that scenario everybody was buying up everything you can imagine and in fact variety was the spite of life there's a lot of other questions are being asked about the end of the you know the the industry and its inventory and this is why i am saying there is only a the near of resource there if everybody all the it takes everything seriously at once it starts to go into uh... oh my god i gotta have one mode uh... which one bad you know what if all the space alien movies make everybody go and buy a gun fantastic i have a gun kill space aliens yeah you're right you go up go by two i don't care what excuse you the attitude of the weapons off the shelf and get out of general population can when they finally decide that they're not gonna fight the space aliens could the next basically will be totally can't fight space aliens by the gun from cheap until my jacket just people resist and i will be ready commit suicide jump off a building you know favorite so that works i'm i'm really not nice about that any because that's the latest thing with skylight If you look at them, Don, you know what you're... By the time you're done, you look at one of the potato pod people from the Dark Crystal, you know, when they looked into the lens and sucked all the life energy out of them. That's what you look like, and then you get sucked into the light. You get picked up by a people vacuum sweeper. So you gotta make sure that you have like basically Medusa blinders. That's what you need. You need a set of like, what you need is so that no matter how you turn your head, you can't look directly at something but you can see its legs, its body, the body of the vehicle and you fire at that, you see. You fire into the blank. When you line up the circle and it's wrapped around the center of your vision, that tells you you're on target. See how that works? I already figured it out. It's like doing Medusa blinders. Everything, your front vision is blocked, two circles and what your sight, the way your sight is, it's a tube, it's got a skeletonized frame. and a circle, a hollow circle. Well, when you bring it up, and whatever you line it up with, when you look straight down the target line, if you see a line north, south, east, and west, you're on the target. Right? Close enough. It's better than guessing with your eyes closed. Who says we can't fight space aliens? Anyway, yeah. Exactly. That was the next thing. It's like, hey, let's try this. What about a periscope? Of course, now you better hang out whoever's doing it just in case they suck you. Yeah, if all of a sudden they become potato heads, it's like you've wasted a guy. So you might want to do that with somebody you don't like. Exactly, yeah, there's another one. Well, you know, they don't want you to think about all the ways it's like, you mean so will the television camera work? Can I use the television camera? Oh, your video camera, yeah. Yeah, can I use the video camera? That way I'm not looking directly at the light, I'm looking at it through a secondary imaging system. Would that protect me? Again, I would find an enemy and tell him, hey, we've heard that this works, why don't you try it? Yeah. But no. part about that now here's the thing there is another movie coming out or if you don't if you want to play the patient with the hollywood guys this i kept told you what did i say about this time this is all all this propaganda is going to come up in in conjunction with you uh... both now we've got a new one of the battle for los angeles or not well this one will probably have a this one is guys you know they always use the du jour video project of the day you know it for instance you got the off-brand the answer to a question that wasn't asked and then they're showing the combat units flying in with shit hooks i mean chin up forgive me and my problem that guy is is you know chin up are not a pack combat aircraft your support error for their priority premium they're like uh... there was this the family truck of the sky okay After you've secured the LZ and you got it really good, you don't go into those with the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Because any hit with a Chinook is a doom. The two aircraft they're showing in all these movies now, Don, the Chinook and the Osprey. And guys, anybody who's been a Chinook, they work, but if they have a malfunction nowadays, they have fewer backup systems and they fall out of the sky easier than the other helicopter except the Osprey. No, if I qualified that, the osprey almost steps. The osprey is Obama. The Chinook is Jimmy Carter. You get my drift. It used to be, it was like, I don't want to get caught in a Chinook if we get to take fire. But now it's like, well, if there's a choice between a Chinook and an osprey, I think I'll take the Chinook. I've seen what happens with the osprey. And as it is, you know, I'll point this out, that your Chinook, people might have forgotten this one. And they do intentionally do this so you won't remember. We covered this years ago one of the worst, I think one of the worst aviation accidents in airborne history and at Fort Bragg with its history on the ground when the Chinook helicopter collided with a fixed-wing aircraft and they were over the flight runway as the airborne units were loading up C-141s. The wreckage came down and crashed into the line of aircraft with hundreds of men already. You got to remember these guys are combat loaded. They've got their primary shoot, they got their backup shoot, they waddle into the aircraft guys. And all of a sudden a whole pile of wreckage already burning comes down, smacks onto the aircraft and hundreds of men were injured and many were killed but many, many were severely burned and injured and you know, several aircraft were destroyed in the process. So this is something to think about. Again, when you look at an example of the Chinook, that was what it was notorious because if it has a problem, well once one rotor is gone, because of the nature of the way the thing stays in the air, the other rotor doesn't do anything to keep you up there. It just flips over like a... You get to see sky green, sky green, sky green, sky green, sky green, sky green, sky green, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, pop. Now, the only variation is if you crack like an eggshell sideways on a Chinook, the people on the bottom usually are dead, the people on the top usually are the ones that help to kill them. Yeah, you know, a percentage of the crew may survive. Unfortunately, about the time that you're all busted up and you're laying there on your side, you're all twisted amongst a bunch of other guys, maybe you all didn't do too badly, that's when you hear the fuel tank, you know, you're up the rest of the way and rupture and, yeah, that's all she wrote. It's not the cause. Yeah. all only the government and the military will be able to fight the UFO. Of course, they ride into their Chinooks and they wipe out the whole blasted unit in the air. At least they should be, considering the aliens are flying UFOs that are quite aerodynamic and the Chinooks are not exactly, shall we say, a real fast aircraft by comparison. There are some really cool scenes. In fact, there's a trailer out there right now. It's Battle for Los Angeles. You want to look it up. The guys in the chat may not want to check it out. You can go to YouTube, I think you can go to Google Video too. And you'll recognize all of the characters. And of course it's all the, it's rather interesting because this one, I think there are three more I've been told at least that are going to be coming out. That are all, oh my goodness, the UFOs are coming to eat our brains. All in one big pile. This is worse than a vampire onslaught. of course what they aren't telling you is the next step is you're going to have the vampires on the ground versus the billions coming from above who turn out then to be alien vampires anyway AC do you think I got the plot worked out already? I'll buy more garlic. Yep buy more garlic plant garlic. Give your bullets in garlic. Yeah I was going to say billy well that's if you want to be mean and we're going to make sure we get rid of them. So anyway let's see battle, loss, and let's see what we get. Battle of the San Jose, yep, movie trailer, there we go, one minute, 52 seconds long. And there's some really dynamic CG stuff that's out there that is kinda cool. February 25th, 1942, 2.25 AM. When we first saw it, the object was hanging motionless, almost directly overhead. Scott Littleton. Now obviously, what do you think? B-17 crew? It was not a weather balloon. Chip. It was the most beautiful color I'd ever seen in my life, Katie. Okay, 11 weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Let's see, something hovered over Culver City, California. Oh, this is very different. This is, now this, first time our U.S. Military Federation, I don't know if everybody is familiar with this, this is a little off to the side story about, this is totally different from something else I've got going here right now, guys. Where the military engaged whatever it was over LA and people were, you know, hit on the ground, nobody took cover, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So we'll find out more about that as we go. Forgive me on that one. We're trying to find the other battle for LA. Complete with Shin Hooks and the Whole Nine Yards. So for anybody out there that's curious, we'll dig it up again. You gotta slide me in the microphone for that one, Don. And we'll see what it is. Yeah, well the search is cool, but it's just one of the, let's see, CBS News report. Battle for Seattle, oh my goodness. We're not a battle for Seattle, it's a battle of LA. Another interesting thing is the next three or four are all the same scenario where you're actually one of the things about the skyline is they actually are fighting and apparently doing damage to the aliens however one of the things they do show in the trailer that i think is rather cute is the thing we've talked about also for the longest time amongst ourselves is guys you have a city-sized spaceship and you start attacking it over your city once you hit that city-sized spaceship and she starts to spy in or say we say scut in in one direction what's underneath that city-sized spaceship? Your living quarters and your loved ones. Well it kind of showed the end result of that instead of it conveniently like remembered Independence Day where they shot down all the alien ships and they conveniently crashed in all these strange and remote remote locations or like fortunately crashed in a lake or fortunately crashed here or fortunately crashed there. Well, the one thing I will say about Skyline is they're a little more honest about the way the battlefield would look. Okay? Hey look, it's a big ship! It's a big apartment building. Yeah, we got new skyscrapers coming in. It's called powered. Yeah, and not only that, but when it scuds in, think about this. Why would you tear it down? That burrow in real tight. We don't have to do any pile driving. It's going to go down 10, 12, 14 stories the way this thing looks, and it's massive to begin with. Whole neighborhoods are being, you know, quished. So, just something to think about. And again, we're mean because we think about the rest of those nasty things. Apparently somebody finally has been listening to us because we've been talking about it for a long time. The other thing about the other space-hailing movies is that, well, it's okay to shoot them, and yes, you can kill them, but only the Army can do it. Everybody else has to mill about with their thumb up their hind end, or of course, whatever they own is just the government. This is my favorite. Here's one I thought was cute. The guy has a Beretta Model Any 2. He fires at the space station. and amazingly enough, his Beretta Model 92 doesn't work very well. Marine Beretta Model 92, the exact same pistol, although the guy's pistol that the other guy had, the civilian had, probably was a better gun. Amazingly enough, the Marine's pistol works so much better at, you know, killing aliens. And it's like, no, I've got a special Marine Beretta Model 92. It's totally different from your Beretta Model 92. What are you talking about? I took mine back from Iraq I mean, whoops. So just something to think about. Again, they're doing the goof routine where, oh, all of the military's weapons are just so much more... No, they're not. If you were going against critters, or if you're going after something bigger and heavier and armored, one of the last things you want to carry... I'm not trying to be mean to you AR-15 shooters, but I'm going to tell you guys, lack of penetration and lack of energy. The 55-70 grain bullet is not... You're not your first best choice. going up against something heavier, thicker and harder, 30 caliber like 30-06, that grossly overpowered cartridge that the 223 is based upon. Well, that's got all the ballistics and dynamics to do, you know, to things with armor and things with body armor that the 223 can't. Doesn't mean it can't cut into soft points. Any bullet and every bullet will, that's why I say if you're firing at a target, just understand where to place the first rounds to cripple him hard and hurt him bad, especially if they're wearing body armor. And first thing as I pointed out, we've been seeing this quite a bit. We did some bank shootouts by the way down here. And I don't know, Don, if you've heard about this. We've had a series of bank robberies in the area. And there have been shots fired. And it's kind of like this also, the Mumbai type shootings. If something like that starts, guys, simply because you may not have shot at people all that often, probably not at all, aim for the crotch. triple and aim for the crotch you know bottom out in other words you know it's just you're not you know you're going to be nervous you're not going to necessarily squeeze the trigger you're not going to remember the magazine yet dumped on him start at the crotch level there are two reasons if you get what you're aiming at you just blown out his motor section you might still do some damage but he's going to be doing it in a lot of pain and he isn't walking anywhere that means you got plenty of time to take cover change position pop up and finish him off See how that works? So, you know, in any of these scenarios, heavier is better. Why? Well, because once the turtle's on his back, you might want to just drive that bullet right up to the bottom of his foot, or right up through the crotch, which is now heavily exposed. You might want to scut it into his leg. It won't go off the other side. What it'll do is it'll follow the path, release resistance, right up the skeletal structure, hit the hip area, and blow another chunk out. There's a little key. Someone don't have it. That's right. Exactly. And move. and move, fire and move. He's still thinking, first of all, if the target is down and probably in pain, at least, if best he's dead, but target is now down and in pain. He's still thinking of, you know, his last memory block is of where you are. So fire, change positions, change positions, and again, work against his positive arm. This is another thing, and we've tried to explain this to teach people about shooting. If you are holding a weapon, You know, think about this. You want to approach the right of the shooter. Now most people use, if they're right handed, they use a positive arm right hand control stance, right? In other words, right hand is gripping the weapon. If you practice this right now, and people have to correct in a very interesting way, it takes more time for them to correct than you have to deal with a problem if you decide to shoot. To move your weapon to the left is natural because your left hand will pull. and you have a natural arc with the right arm because it's like when you do exercise. Think about when you're pulling a weight. If you hold the weapon, think about what you have to do to turn right to bring the gun around and effectively use it. There is more resistance trying to turn to the right. Now, if you're approaching a right-handed target, then approaching from the right, their right, which would be your left, is your best choice. If you take down a target like this, chances are they're still trying to control their weapon. Chances are it's also hooked up in a three-point rig or something else. They can't move the weapon that well. So there's all kinds of limitations that are created. They've got more body armor, they've got weight, they're carrying extra combat load. On the other hand, your hoplite infantry. Okay? And for that reason, like you said, Don, use your feet. Take advantage and move. Let's see, there was only anyway the space aliens thing up here what I'm gonna do I'm gonna dig this out and drag the scene back up because the battle for the battle for Los Angeles well apparently this is the modern version with Chinooks rather than the World War two variant on the theme So we'll get more on that. I've seen some of the other stuff on this too. Part of this was on George Nori as far as this version, this thing talking about from coast to coast, three to four years ago. I think five, seven years ago was the first time. Then they rehashed it about four years ago on coast to coast. So anyway, other stuff. Don, I know you had things you wanted to cover and right now it is the bottom of the hour. It's 5.30 right now. Yup. Well, we could do a couple of things. Maybe at 5.30 we'd do that. We'll do that some other time you guys. We've heard that plenty of times. Oh, you know sometimes we draw, you know, plenty of times. We'll particular scene and did you see this movie and do you remember when and we've done that a number but you know I've used examples of talking things meant to fly jets in particular F80s reprinted a number of times now I have it in heart and there was a pro in that epilogue. He had the Japanese trying to join that and he talked about that would be in my son and talked about the only thing that would I'm going to go over here to a different you guys have brought your number of over here and I would like to tell you how indeed he's been in Jeffrey L. you guys the Kaiser own personal on it you heard it said about this it combined it with the thought that you would you know why it comes here we didn't put on the reasons for years we have we could talk about the shirt that you should I know that we were interesting enough Attitude especially with what we're seeing you know what we're seeing on the other side I think is mostly even though they're the core as a foot has a mission I'm seeing nothing but confusion on the other side because a lot of people are asking the right questions now and The one thing that has to be brought forward here guys and I've been repeating this is Remember the bad guys spy even more than you can imagine. I mean everybody says that right? Well, obviously, you see, they get to hear a lot more than you do. And so they haven't just jumped in and gone for the gusto, have they guys? Now you have to ask yourself a question about why not. If for all these years I've listened to this BS, it's feudal resist, you'll be absorbed. Oh, we just don't need to fight because after all they're gonna be so inspired by filling the blank and besides they're just so powerful. Well, you know what again, I've argued all along if they're so powerful just do it. What are you waiting for? If it's feudal resist and you'll be absorbed and blah blah blah blah blah, just do it. You'll notice that isn't the case and the dagger war has proceeded on accordingly. And that is why they're most terrified of the idea that in the public venue, which now it's too late, it's happening, well, a few days away from the election, Don. I mean, literally. We're counting the days down. We were counting weeks. We were counting months down to the election. We're in a window of fear on the part of the bad guys as far as how much of a hit they'll have to take and then how they'll have to compensate accordingly. That's right. And there again, that's why each day course is one that we watch but when you consider what how successful we have been over the years how we know the people that are both you all of you that are listening right now have done your part have done your job they see the numbers they see what's been purchased okay not most of you don't use credit cards but still they get a general volume on uh... uh... maxi example not a micro but a maxi example of the trends Right now, the two things that they're most fearful of is they've always been able to convince people to send their children off to die for whatever BS cause has been pulled out of the bankers' arse. Now, the bottom line to that is most everybody's looking at the bankers the way Grandma and Grandpa used to look at the bankers now. Grandma and Grandpa used to tell you over and over again, don't ever trust the bankers. Don't ever trust him. I remember that like it was yesterday when I was as small as I could as I can remember young as I can remember I'd be sitting there with a family and when everybody be visiting, you know, you know my dad to be visiting, you know his dad and the parents and everybody come over from the old neighborhood they were all there all the in-laws and outlaws and the conversation with it sometimes roll towards politics and one of the most you know common first thing was you know, no matter what I watch, you know, grandpa get that look on his face and He would cross his arms and he would tell you, never trust the bankers. Everybody knows better. You all know better. And he goes, you know what the problem is? People won't listen. And he goes, they're going to make the same mistakes again. And you know what? He was right. And now all of a sudden everybody has discovered what in reality was an axiom. They all should have hung too. Because here's the thing. Who do you trust more? That stranger? when it comes to your personal finances like that. Now granted, I'm a stranger to a lot of you too, so you have to take this in perspective. Look at balance it out here. I ask you to throw it on the scale and weigh. That's what I'm asking. The banker has another agenda. There's a third person who wants to be manipulating your resources. wants to be involved in manipulating your life, taking your life's time. Oh, by the way, he has another ally working within the government who, of course, nowadays with a law passed, will put a gun to your head to demand whatever the banker wants. This is already happening before with the taxes being set up the way they were and the way they've been, but it's even worse now because they're so rabid and so desperate that they're not following any rules. And everybody sees this. So people aren't, you know, the middle class that, you know, the backbone of any society, no matter what anybody says, pretty well thrown their hands up in the air and said, Beth, apparently there are no rules. Okay, fine. The hell with you then. And everybody's taking the attitude of, you know, and more and more they're hearing this. I mean, they're hearing this in conversations by spying on phones, by looking at text messages, by listening to cell phone conversations, by listening to people's responses on radio stations, even though, again, they try to heavily filter whatever they're doing there. There's still enough independent talk radio that if they monitor it, they can hear what is a lot. Even when they try to block it, there are so many people that have the same view, they can't. the call lines are saturated they gotta put somebody up there to talk and they'll try to buy time hoping to get somebody with the politically correct mouth to jump in there and say something but it isn't happening you know with the exception of the usual shill or pap and pamplum operations that are the core of most of what the enemy does uh... in reality we're pretty well on the high ground right now guys go ahead Don I'm sorry not just a moment because you know a while back we kind of you know don't If you go over to a particular of him and his calling him, seeing Nut and all the things, and if you believe that, well, another example of it, you can get so many people to follow you, like Glennies, that need to be brought to people's attention. Well, don't pay attention to the man behind that curtain. I really hate to name names like that, and I do anyway. I think, interestingly enough, the bad guys, again, here we are, days away. If they were to pull anything right now, very few of the general population would believe them. Especially when everybody knows, it's like, well, one way or another, they're probably going to save face in a few places. But if anything were to happen, it would purely be to try and block the election right now, and it would not be perceived as being foreign intervention. Why? Because the foreign interventionists uh... would probably be a progressively more more these characters that are well promoting the kosher mafia is uh... agenda overseas would be pumped out of office so who would be who would benefit or profit from an attack during the election right now the regime that's trying to stay in power and everybody needs to talk about that you talk about public i don't care what attitude but it has you know you know what stop it none of them apologize for the day say if we've been friends us tell them to stick it up there, hunting den. The attitude everybody's got to have is to bark these suckers down. First of all, pretty much most of the characters that are following the other side are cowards anyway. They're counting on somebody else to beat the snot out of you with a billy club and put a gun to your head that's wearing a uniform. But they're cowards in their own hearts. So you know what? Treat them that way. Treat them for exactly what they are. Most of them that are in uniform that are the thug-a-rees are cowards too, only if they've got a nice click pile up with them. Are they willing to do anything? Well, all of a sudden the score is balanced or the situation is reversed. Well, you usually find wet stains in strange places real quick because it's fun when they're beating on somebody else but not fun when, well, tit for tat. They get the same address right back only two or three fold. Anyway, go ahead please. I was going to say, Joe, who do we have for a caller in there? A patient listener, which is possible too. Or somebody may have to leave. which is also possible. By the way, the phone grid and the cable grid is having all kinds of problems. While we don't necessarily have any major rain, we had some rain, but it wasn't dramatic. It was a normal, piddly rain. Not too hard, not too light. I think it was just right. It was a perfect balance. But it came in with that storm front that we had. Now we're getting the high winds, and now the phone troubles are showing up. Now the cable problems are taking place for obvious reasons guys. The system is getting shaken up and the lines are getting knocked down. While we were doing the program here we had a wave of wind come through that looked like it was up around 35 miles an hour. I'm watching the trees bend sideways, flying straight out the whole nine yards. So 35 miles an hour better. And passed about five and a half to seven minutes and then died right back down again. Now we're back down to a stiff breeze. but lower velocity. So that's the kind of stuff to expect. If that is the case, some of the beeps could be our allies switching over to the other system to use that for picking up the programming because in some cases the other system they normally use may be offline. That happens quite a bit and I will remind everybody guys that on top of everything else that we do we have people who are actually running other reflectors. Reflectors actually rebroadcast everything that we do on LTR, but they do it in another location. And if need be, that reflector could take over and perform all of the tasks of LTR to run the network and to continue to broadcast live programming. And we have done this in the past. So I've got to say thank you and commend everybody. We have so many people doing so much that it's a big laundry list. It's not that we've forgotten you, it's that again every once in a while we have to be reminded and then we have to bring it forward so that everybody else is reminded. A lot of good people doing a lot of good work there. Now if you are listening in one system and it goes offline, go to our Liberty Tree radio page. And of course we were offline a couple times today. The networks have been off, on and off because of the wind damage and such. Plus, I'm sure also routing around the country, they're having to re-shift and reboot and reconfigure things to try and make the grid work. That always happens with the new phone systems. And it has happened with the phone systems for a long time anyway. That's the advantage of having a wide grid or a wide net set up. You can go from one direction to another. That's why we're trying to get the independent systems in place for the exact same reason. Okay? Anyway, the attitude we know about, the weapon systems, I don't know, there was nothing I was looking for to see what kind of good price, prices we could find on AK-74s. There's lots of AK-74 ammunition out there and the mags are, you know, the weapon itself is carried, so it's one of those you're going to run into in the field. I suggest that if you can shop around. You will find that Centerfire Systems has a couple of sale prices right now on Bulgarian parts rifles that American receiver but Bulgarian parts and Standard AK configuration AK-74 configuration with the AK-74 muzzle compensator Ammunition is available, but apparently one or two of the companies have burned out their inventory. You guys have bought it. It's not, it didn't burn up. They didn't explode it. They didn't shoot it. It didn't disappear or vaporize, except with people buying it and sending vouchers or credit cards or FRMs, and the cases of ammunition per our recommendation have slipped right out the door and gone right down the road. so shop around and always always always if you're going to order ammunition or weapons call and absolutely confirm that your product is there one of the reasons is because again that we are looking at a strange veneer of supply and the base of players don't necessarily have anymore to offer what's happening is one company has a whole pile of stuff because they bought a big chunk of it and so everybody feeding off that that pool until it's gone and there isn't a pool to replace it so that's another thing most people aren't thinking about. This is a limited supply environment even now. There is not a super excess of anything. There are some sales or deals going on at different points as stuff becomes available in little waves. Not even anything near what we had say 3, 5, 10, 12, 20 years ago. even three years ago. And that's something everybody has pretty tough time with because we're figuring, well, you know, I'm seeing more. You're seeing more, perhaps, in certain categories, but even then, whole other categories have not been replaced. And probably never will be. That's something most people are really not used to hearing from someone. And probably never will be. They simply aren't going to be there. So be prepared for that if you have a certain weapon system. We mentioned a lot of these different handguns, especially the stars. you can still get aftermarket mags. Now one of the things about most of the star pistols, and I'm going to close on that, we'll finish with this statement. Most of the star pistols were straight in line, 8-shot magazine, 9mm types. One round in the tube, plus 8 rounds in the mag. This was a classic European configuration guys, it was very popular. The premise is the Walter P-38, the Luger which carried 8 rounds. the Astra model 600 which had an inline magazine straight line mags, you know, eight rounds. More than serviceable enough, there's nothing really wrong with that configuration and if you have one of those pistols, don't let anybody talk you into getting rid of it. Especially if it's a Liberty Arm, if it's something that somebody, you know, like dad or grandpa, you know, passed on to you. You just keep that in the inventory, don't let anyone ever talk into getting rid of a handgun. and rifles and shotguns very few and far between what I dispose of or sell anything today especially if it was an inherited arm or it's absolutely clean and there's no way to know where it is I would say that's a bit of an advantage guys. The only thing is mags for these pistols especially like the stars there are some good companies out there that have been producing aftermarket mags for a long time. They'll serve you well again if you have factory mags buy the aftermarket mags to train with. That way you're not wearing out your best mags. See how that works? Somebody's going to say, well the aftermarket mags aren't as good, Don. True, maybe in some cases they aren't, but if you're wearing out the aftermarket mags, that means those other ones will still be crisp when the time comes, right? If you suffer a failure training, that's all. Yeah, you need to practice anyway. And you need to not panic. You need to use immediate action. I guess the most common problem is, if you're wondering what an immediate action drill is, punch in handgun shooters and then dash immediate action or comma immediate action drill. You will see plenty of examples of individuals who are so disciplined, so well trained, right down to 9 and 11 year old girls who will put most handgun shooters to shame. Yeah, you watch watch these girls that have been trained by their dad who are of course competition shooters and they're combat pistol shooters I'm just that that's how everybody should be trained unfortunately It's a matter how much money you have and how much you know it was a matter of ammunition on the range But you can still practice with airsoft. This is why I say You know and I know I'm gonna while you're shifting tracks again I am for a reason because you see you were were limited in how much we have in general in resources The bad guys are realizing the threat of Airsoft now, guys. That Airsoft has been attacked not because, oh my god! They realized that it's a quiet, silent training system. Exactly, you can pick that bull- use it again can't ya? Yeah, oh yeah, you can recover all the pellets. If you shoot, it's unlike paintball, which paintball has its purpose to. But with airsoft in the field guys, you can be training out even in the woods, and you can recover those pellets. I mean, if you know the area of training and you're using certain target impact points, it's not a big deal to build out there and recover the majority of what you've shot even in the field. or at least let's put it this way, over a period of time as the wind blows and things change and stuff moves, you'll find most everything else that's out there. But the big thing is, it simulates the exact weapon you want to train with, purely a matter of the money you want to spend. And you can simulate every rifle, pretty much every shotgun, all pistols that are in service, and still have the real thing sitting right next to it. for immediate action drills for performing you know, you know, change outs on magazines, etc, etc. Everything is the same. The only shift will be a mild shift in the weight of some components. Mostly the component when it's loaded because the magazine will be heavier than the airsoft magazine loaded. But other than that, limited capacity magazine, magazine changes must be done to continue to engage targets. You get a positive response when you pull the trigger and the airsoft pops that little target and knocks it over. So guys, again, this is a solution. It's a training aid. It is not a toy. The big thing is the bad guys on the other side have been trying to block them for that very reason because they realize what's happening. In another area, pneumatic rifles. Here's another term. pneumatic projectors. Ed pointed this out a couple years ago when these came out and they're out there in YouTube. Bunch of young kids in their teens playing around Don with PVC pipe, a shutoff valve, okay, literally a ball valve, two liter bottles with an air tab, air into them, and an air, all of those actually at 20, 25 feet, 30 feet up to so many yards. taking a conventional compound bow aluminum arrow and driving it through three quarters of an inch or an inch of plywood. Now consider guys that that was all throw away stuff off the shelf all done with junk. And then take into consideration becoming more sophisticated and taking a little more time to fabricate specific components, you know, system specific components. example, rather than just having the arrow and improvising a way to come up with a limited seal, you come up with a baffle that actually allows you to capture 100% of the air behind the arrow of the shaft, but along the body of the shaft so it pulls it along like a parachute upon the meat. Go ahead. The fascinating thing is this was all done with PVC. Now just imagine something like this set up as an optional, like, you know, position defense thing for covering the hallway or something. These things could be charged quickly, screwed into position, be aimed down the hallway, and all you do is flick a valve. There isn't even any noise. You hear, and whatever's at the other end is shish kebab. Now, one thing I will point out about body armor, second chances right here in Michigan. Two things that second chance would not guarantee against. One, where it was, well, ice picks and dirts, okay? The other, where it was crossed. One of the reasons for that is because the Kevlar material is still a cloth. It is a woven plastic in a cloth pattern. It can be perforated or separated by extreme pressure in a very limited surface area, you know, like an ice pick. Yes, that would that in mind just imagine something that has a very fine sharp point surface and then engineering it to go through the laminate cloth the way it's been built out the ice pick will already do that it's already built that way like being in psycho the That's right. The other is again the fine point extra sharp odd head type shafts with compound or with a crossbow or with matic power That's right, we could do that with the pneumatic shield, pneumatic projecting system. So just something to think about, give you some ideas, it's Weapons Wednesday, you know, you were supposed to think outside the box, guys. We did talk about black powder, I know we're gonna be going here in a second, the music's gonna be played any moment now. Cap and ball, guys, if you've got them, the big thing is, try to modernize as much of your system as possible. There are some beautiful new caps out there that are available. They're extremely high quality, but if you're going to save any of those caps for percussion, make sure that you reseal and reseal them again. In other words, whatever original container they're in, find another one, seal it up in that. Find the other one, seal it up in that. Black powder and all of the eights that are used, the fulminates, the different types of active materials that make up the cap, suck moisture. They are typically prilled, they're very dry, and any moisture, well, they're just naturally going to attract. Black powder is especially notorious for this. So you want to make sure that you keep everything, you become a rocket scientist, you become religious about maintaining your equipment. But especially if you're going to be using cap and ball, you want to make sure that you're ultimately religious. You don't have to suffer with the fate of the Revolutionary War, or the troops had so many problems trying to keep things dry because they didn't have the containers you have today. They would think it would be a miracle just to have a two liter bottle back in that day, guys. Oh, yeah. That would actually change the conditions of the combat environment. Most people don't realize that. Just the possibility of having a two liter or for that matter, if you dropped a container of a house full, literally a house block full of plastic peanut butter containers back into that day, that would have changed whole battlefield conditions. That would have been as dynamic as the introduction of a totally new cartridge gun in the middle of a muzzle loading environment. Almost as good as 16. Yeah, because if you can keep the powder dry, and if you can keep the food dry and out of the environment, it will last that much longer, and your troops will be fed that much better, or your troops will be able to fight that much more effectively. Yep. See how that works? So there's method to the madness here. Anyway, Black powder, Remington cross strap, the Remington later model 44 caliber
