When you're shopping for a home at Wells Fargo, we're with you. That's why we created the Wells Fargo Priority Buyer Pre-Approval. Come in, sit down and talk with a Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Consultant and we'll let you know the mortgage loan range for which you could qualify. A Priority Buyer Pre-Approval is a great first step to help you start looking at homes within your price range. Wells Fargo. Together, we'll go far. A Priority Buyer Pre-Approval is not a commitment to lend. Please call for additional program details. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage is a division of Wells Fargo Bank N.A. Member FEIC, equal housing lender. Live 365 If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is to still the land of the free and home of the brave? I heard a bark bark. Hello, yes, I'm here. And, well, stay where you are. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the Afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Hornky. 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 South Well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com and we're on live 365 then go to Liberty Tree Radio We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and ultra-net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network. On the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, where the new re-hide nuclear cows, you know those soon, all those ordnance and nuclear devices below the grass stuff oozes up and the cows munch on it. Well, waving to our friends in the Mississippi As we sweep over the river waving back over our shoulders to the Rockies, we land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews of Grandma teams, the OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium are doing their part to give us the Golden Spike Project a solution to break that particular barrier. The Rockies, the Mississippi, and the Smokies are the three critical ones we need to have signal communications breaching across the board in as many ways as possible. Anyway, it is a beautiful summer day out there, classic, and in fact exactly what we expect for the 26th of July, the fourth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K-2011 by old earth calendar. And I think we have a caller. Who do we have? Yes, number four in New York. Number four? Number four? Go ahead, number four. What do you got for us? Yes, I've got a couple quick things and everybody likes free and the first thing I wanted to talk about is those wine boxes that are in The square boxes of the wine, the bags come in either clear or silver and they can be rinsed out and reused as water bottles. Also, if you cut the boxes diagonally, you can use them as a magazine holder or come in half and use them as a parts thing, the cardboard thing. That's an excellent water carrier. You can visit your bars if you don't drink the wine and ask for the free old box wine bags and they may be a good water thing. The other thing is I saw at Home Depot, they have this thing called Homebright Solar Eye Watch Outdoor Wireless Security Motion Alarm Protector. What it does, it flashes, it's solar powered, it flashes a light at you and also has an alarm and also says in voice to see warning intruders to stay away. It's all solar powered and I've seen it someplace else cheaper for $19 but Home Depot they got it for $29. The other item I saw that was a good thing was a solar powered motion detector that will also turn in a remote switch in your house or whatever else you want switched remotely. Those will be two nice items to have in your surprise bags. Thanks and that's all I have. I appreciate that. Again, that was Home Depot, correct? Correct. One item was called Homebright. You want to shop for Homebright. It's a solar wireless security motion detector. It only works at night. I guess it doesn't alert you during the daytime, I don't think. But if you wanted to work during the daytime, you covered up. But then that waste in the battery, the solar power on the light. It had a flashing light and a loud alarm and voice warning intruders to stay away. It had a button for silent mode. That was all solar power. You could put those in a couple of different places, make the enemy pause. You might be able to hear it if you're not too far away too. It sent the solar power to a nice little stick anywhere kind of thing. The other one was called at Amazon. It's called the Heath Venus wireless command solar power driveway alert set. It's a motion detector so when you walk by this thing, this solar power thing sends a motion alert to a 110 outlet to house lights turn on or some other wiring that's hooked up to it. very good and again like that for you these are simple solutions like that's a good idea you know we haven't mentioned those in a while but those wine boxes by the way guys those are cheap water diaphragm or liquid diaphragm remember there's other things you could store in them too one of the things people get is leftovers or tailings off of oil containers and such and these things work just fine as a way to actually have a little bit of a dispenser system set up you fill up all take all the excess you can off whatever other you know containers you put together a lot of guys just use a regular quart and you know quart oil containers and drip all the other stuff out like from gas stations. I know guys are wearing gas stations and get a couple quarts of oil for free a week and all they do is watch for people changing oil they're in a hurry they don't really let it drip out they just turn it over let gravity do its work and they fill up a container over a period of you know a day or two with several different you know different containers either at work or they take them all home and then drop off at work when they're done, finished with the other ones. You can do that. Solar shower too. Yeah, exactly. There's another example, a really cool solution. And I get cool solution. Oop, pardon the pun. I want to go the other way. Warm, but it does make for a neat little, yes, a pappoo system for setting up a shower. You only need so much water. First you get wet, then you just use the rest to rinse off, and then somebody reloads another one, hook another one up to the system. So, portable, lightweight. You've got a bunch of those... Go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry. If you've got a bunch of those folded up in your kit, you can also tie them together and make quiltation devices for water crossing, or also you could bury something in a pond and have it look like junk debris floating and have a fishing line tethered to one of those bags around the opening of it, so it would locate your supplies when you swim out. Yup, and they're cool. See, again, it matters just simply being creative. One nice thing about these is that they're uniform in size. You know what they're going to expand to, of course with the box, they're restricted, which is the whole idea. That gives them a rigid reinforcing. But if they're out of the box they are again still another you know option for you know carrying and other kind of their pouches bags or whatever you have an Improvising to create water bladders water diaphragms They don't have to have the papus you know Stringer with a hose and a hookup for your mouth or anything that is just to be able to carry more water or to get it into an area One of the things to consider is when we're resupplying troops or if we have personnel like in hot weather like this having volume of water in any form is going to change the dynamic of the battlefield. This is the most common thing that everybody miscalculates, especially in this kind of weather. The winter is just as bad. I've seen people dehydrate in the winter just as quick as they do in the summer, because they don't take in enough fluids. First of all, they don't want to take in as much because of the temperature. Then they also don't want to urinate. They don't want to get rid of it, because it requires a whole special process to get out of the gear and do what you've got to do and get back into it. So, people do, you know, again, they get into certain cycles because of restrictions, you know, physical conditions. It can be hot or cold. Now, the neat thing about these two, like you said, as an air flotation device, something that we have discussed is we're living in a lake state. You are too. You guys have rivers, creeks, streams. Guys, any time we, if everybody carries a certain amount of flotation equipment, you can cross with most of your equipment dry. during the summer and people aren't worried as much about it because it feels good it's nice to be in the water and then you walk along and you still got a little cooling effect you know of course gets uncomfortable when you're walking along later and you're still not dried out but during the winter and during the fall or during the spring oh this really critical you may still get wet but if you've got most of your gear where it's secure and up and out of the water you're not going to have any of the issues are going to require calories to be burned later to clean everything up or dry everything off something to think about there go ahead Also an excellent also an excellent pillow and also in the wintertime if you want to sit down on a stump or something and you can Use that as a pillow to sit on so you don't get the coldness on yourself. Are you saying poor man's whoopee cushion? The other thing The other thing is the CDs, the old CDs and DVDs. You can find an LED that automatically flashes. You just have to hook it up to a battery on some of these electronic sites. I forget what the voltage is. Put that flashing LED in the middle of a CD and hang that from a tree and flip it on at night. You have like 20 of those flipping around. It will make a nice confusion. Oh, as a matter of fact, now let's add this and write this down in case you haven't already. dealextreme.com. dealextreme.com. Now, dealextreme, one of the things I pointed out here, they have some nice little ultra-light, hyper-tiny solar cell that hook up to little light systems and such. We're talking everything, they've got everything from solar-powered cockroaches and spiders that are the size of your thumb. Okay, the whole object is. to little motorized cars and all kinds of neat stuff. But they also have those little LEDs, LED and solar system combinations with little coin battery. Now exactly what you're talking about to create a flashy which down oh actually most of the big cities are still doing this you take a watch battery blinking LED with a larger plastic lens and What you do is just pull the piece of paper away. That's blocking the one LED from the one lead from the LED from making contact with the battery and blink blink blink blink It'll go on all night many cases will run for about two or three days Now you take that exactly what you're talking about stick that in the middle of one of those CDs, oh, you've got a way to really bother somebody or an attention getter. Or if it's a solid light, remember we've talked about illuminating an area so that you create shadows, or you create, again, passive illumination that when the time comes when you're observing an area, it allows you to see things that are moving. Because if somebody passes through, they create a shadow. So there's neat, yeah that's a neat solution as a matter of fact all kinds of cool things I use the CDs for light reflectors for targeting because we know what they are at range and The only thing I found out is goats hate them I did a stringer of these and hung them up and I have several them all over the area here and people go, wow, what was that light over there in the corner? Well, what happens is they string around and of course this also messes with the coyotes and other critters, but it flashes and reflects. Well, I put one of these inside the area where the goats are cleaning off an area where they work and the goats just hate these things. They hate the idea it's moving around. They don't like the idea and they'll actually nibble it down step by step. Alright, we seem to have an abnormal glitch going on with our Live 365 stream right now. We got about 25 people listening to us live and an unknown number of people listening to a rebroadcast off of our basic stream. For some reason, both are active at the same time. I'm trying to figure out what's going on right now guys. I'm looking into it. Just giving you a heads up. Let the guys in the chatroom know if they're hearing George Wagner, we are up live. It's just for some reason they're on the MP3 feed instead of on the live feed. Don't know what's going on there because they're supposed to be one and the same. When one's on, the other's supposed to be off. Very good. Thank you, Ed. Again, for our friends... Well, thank you very much. Well, thank you. Go ahead. Anything before you take off? Anything else? Well, I saw in one of the chicken magazines they have a flashing predator infrared, not infrared, but a red LED and I thought coupled with a CD and you glue your little battery on the back of the CD with a red light that's a predator flashing light that will also help protect maybe your birds. I do these CDs around all my grapes and stuff and it seems to help a little bit. Good idea. I appreciate that. Actually, that's something too because we do have the gardens to worry about too guys. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Guys, depending on Texas can is probably in the right part of the piece of real estate we're looking at here. For the Texas militia guys, I notice they're using the multi-cam camouflage. Now, I've brought this up a couple times. I need everybody to repost this. It's already been done a couple times in the last two days. www.rap4.com. Now they call the MultiCam 8 color desert. That's probably their version of whatever the MultiCam is. It's MultiCams, I think the registered trademark name, blah blah blah. But I noticed that some of the guys still need MultiCam uniforms. Well guys, if you take a 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x, www.wrap4.com, is got a sale, they've got a clearance on all of their, well not all, but certain brands of the Tiger Stripe. or the ACU, let's see, Flecktarn, DPM, Camel, for our friends out there on the east coast who use the DPM, we're looking for big sizes. Now, it's a mix, and they have at the very least 2X and 4X, but for those who have big guys, they can be 6'8". We got guys that are 6'8", 6'9", 6'7", some bigger, some little, you know, but about that average range. and they need to go into the larger size to get the length that they need and they're big. They're not heavy set. They're just tall and normally proportioned. And they need a big uniform. Some of you out there in the same boat, some of you just need bigger uniforms because of your kirth. You know, you've got to live with it, you've got to work with it, and then you're going to be losing weight anyway. Trust me, things are going to change. But you can't beat the price. Go to www.rap4.com. Then go to catalog and then go to the far right key on the toolbar. It says clearance. I think it's in kind of an orangish red color. It's clearance. When you hit that, there's going to be BDUs and vests. Now they've got some three color vests for about $30 actually, or just as well made as any others, but it's an earlier model from the three, let's see, three, four years ago, 2009 to about $210. Anyway, they got newer models and other models they've adapted big deal. This might serve your purpose. They do have some tiger stripe vests they've marked down also that are assault vests. These things will adapt well for perhaps your needs or for your medics. But also guys, we're looking at buying everything out. I got to send them an email. The new Huttari units are probably going to see about picking up a lot of this as far as the Tiger. We'll see what happens. And I'm going to give them the quotes here and expedite this in like 24 to 40 hours. So if you need large camouflage item uniforms, $20 a top, $20 a bottom. I used to deal in this stuff from all the jobbers, American companies especially, and guys, You couldn't touch 2x, 3x, and 4x for under $30 wholesale because it's a custom run. And in this case, you're talking $20 for a top, $20 for a bottom, in the big sizes. So, if you're listening guys, go to that site, go to www.rap4.com. Got the right number, but we just got to take that extra W out of there. And what's really neat about this is that these guys have again a wide number of camouflage patterns. They've got fleck-tarn in the big sizes. That's very rare. They've got DPM. That's very rare. I can't get DPM in those big sizes without spending a stupid amount of money. Same with the Fluctarn. So in most of the Fluctarn that's left in the system is in the small, small sizes for the younger people. I mean small. That's what's left. I deal with the companies that import most of that. They also have Digital Woodland. And they have another one for our friends that are listening. Remember, we've got a lot of can-head foreign troops in the US they're going to be using on us. Why not have a uniform so you can stare at them back across a distance and they can't be sure because you've got the same uniform they have? That's right, they got CAD-PAT, they got the CAN-HEAD camouflage there too and it's $20 a top, $20 a bottom. for the stuff that's on sale for the stuff there you know again that's in the clearance section so take the time and go check that out and again it's www.rap.com there you go and www.rap.com oh even I did it wrong slap me in the head but I'll tell you what you guys in the chatroom go www.rap.com for dot com gee it's for live radio can help that uh... rep for dot com and when you get it when uh... What you want to do, and Snafu brought this up, you know, it makes it hard to decide. Well, tell you what, here's the thing. Look at your area of operation and determine the most common pattern you need. Now in some cases, like I was noticing this, and for our guys that are on the border, if you're in a hot state, guys, you're going to need to be changing your uniforms out. This weather right now, you're going to be able to, you need to change your uniforms out. Usually for the big guys, they don't have as many uniforms because they can't afford to buy as many. The reason I'm harping on this for the last two days is for a change. You guys, for the price of what I buy, a uniform for top and bottom. You guys can buy in the 2x, 3x, and 4x size range. You can't beat that. Get them while they last. And you know what, you lose weight. Guess what, you'll have extra cloth because you can tuck every... you can always tuck stuff in. It's trying to get the cloth to stretch that doesn't work. Okay? And the smaller uniforms are very dominant across the system. Big uniforms are tough to find. So you want to check this out. They've got ECU. If you go to the page, yeah, it's real action paintball. The cool thing is they do a lot of uniform stuff. They don't have tiger stripe boonies, but they do have a lot of the other odd camouflage boonies. and the price is reasonable. The big thing are the clearance items. Notice I'm driving it towards a clearance item. You don't have to pay full retail for anything. If I find it for a better price, I'll let you know. They have several wood digitals. They have all of the urban. If you're looking for snow camo, the gray, black, white urban works exceptionally well. That's really what we use it for here in Michigan because of the woods. We'll use the gray urban for gray-white urban for snow camo. So you're looking at all the way up to 4X in the urban. Maybe if you're out in the Rockies you might want that there too. If you're looking at, you know, again, you look at your backgrounds, look at your base colors. This is why alpine flage works really well. They don't have any of that, but the alpine flage works like well in Georgia. Look at the red clay base that they have. You see how that works? Or it works in the granite states where they have red granite and there's a lot of that out in the Rockies. It works well here in Michigan because we have sumac, we have wild grape, we've got all kinds of other colors out there that people don't think about until they start looking around going, wow, I guess you're right, that really does blend in. Actually, that works pretty well. So you have to pick and in fact it's why most armies when they first came up with camouflage Had up to eight to ten different camel patterns the Germans did when they first came up with camel They were the first ones to really drive the camouflage market so to speak and they were fighting a war and they had theater camouflages based upon the Average colors that would be needed for the areas of operation See how that works We adopted camouflage, brought it into the Bocage during the period after the Normandy invasion, and had to withdraw it, which is why it went into the Pacific and the Marines got it, because troops are so used to seeing the European, the German troops, or the European Allied German troops, with camouflage that they've shot at anybody with camouflage. Problem is our troops had it, and some of our own troops got shot by our own troops because they started trying to use it. So, see, accidents can happen if you don't know the scorecard. Again, one more time, www.rap4.com. Then go to, then go to catalog, and then go to clearance. There we go. That'll get you. That'll catalog. Oh, man. Well, I'm in a hurry. Typing is terrible. Especially when I'm trying to do three things at once here. Anyway, for you guys, catalog. Not catalog. Cat-lod. OK. Well, D and G aren't that close. Anyway. For our friends you'll get the message. You guys can retype it and do the readdressing up above. If you scroll way, way, way back earlier in the day you'll find that we posted this several times. And I don't know, depending on who's there listening, if you're in different parts of the chat room right now, you weren't there before, guys from B to T, some of you are going to find that these prices are very desirable and very useful, especially for the Texas militia guys. You need to get everybody into the same uniform, but they can't afford it because it's a little pricey and some of them are good sized guys. There's your solution. And that'll get you multicam. Also, if they're already in multicam, but they only have a few uniforms, or a uniform, get more than one right now. You're going to be out there, you're going to get dirty, you're going to be rolling in the crud. Stuff gets ripped, stuff gets damaged. You've got to have stuff online so you can clean it out. If you don't clean it out, the stuff wears out faster and will break down quicker. It doesn't mean you don't have to live in a uniform for days on end. I have. I understand exactly what that's about in a military situation. However, wherever we can improve our conditions in advance before we get into the battlefield environment, that means our equipment will survive that much longer and we will be that much more effective in the field. Another thing, again I mentioned this in the last hour, I'm going to do this again, signal mirrors. Signal mirrors, signal mirrors. You don't have to. Now you can find these in a number of different ways. You can make them. You can go to the dollar store, they have plastic mirrors. Are those going to be as effective as the more professional lexan or glass or tempered glass with the see-through siding hole? Well, it varies. you can actually make a variation on those. If it's plastic, you can actually scratch a little hole in the center of the mirror that you buy that's plastic. Just take it out of its frame, scratch the back reflective surface off the center of the mirror, mark it with an X, and then make a little circle area. take a razor blade and clear it off and you can actually make a targeting hole just like a regular survey mirror slash or emergency or survival mirror has so that you can zero on the target and act accordingly. See how that works? So it doesn't have to be the most expensive. Solutions purely matter of your pocketbook and what you can afford. Another thing, little glass mirrors. You should keep them, retain them, have them laying around. There's a number of different things that can be used for. Periscopes, for instance. Why are you going to stick your head over something when all you have to do is set up a periscope so you can observe from a fixed position? Duh! Yeah, they even had those in Civil War and World War I and the Spanish Amor. Safe's having to put your noggin out there where it can get bopped off. Something to think about. Also, you can even use that periscope system to create a flash system for sending signals. Ooh, kind of cool there. The other mean thing is you can also use it for, oh wow, think about this, taking a laser or series of lasers and shooting a laser across the battlefield area without having to expose yourself at all using a couple of reflective mirrors in a PVC periscope. or a plywood periscope or a cut out of board periscope. You ever done that? Be kind of cool. Think about that. Man, that messes with them. Look, there's a laser out there. When there's a laser out there, oop, there's a laser out there. But you can't really see where it's coming from or at least there's no target of opportunist in direct line of fire. Kind of nice idea, isn't that? Yeah, it might work. That might be a good solution. Another thing you can also do that is now I was talking about with the catch tube system, you can use lasers in the same way. And in fact, you can use an outbound tube with a laser and a catch tube at the other end, receiving the signal, and then have a second tube side by side targeting out to a catch tube at the other end. And there's absolutely no way anybody could, for the most part, see what's going on. Ooh, think about that. There's another mean solution. Now that's line of sight. And it's going to have to be pretty rigid, well fixed. But that's why I was talking about burying the tubes or burying the transmission equipment, depending on what it is you're using. And yes, light is being transmitted, so the term is correct. Just little things to think about. Another thing, and I mentioned the word semaphore. Now, probably most of you, when you heard the word semaphore, thought where I'm going to go next. Semaphores are flags. Now we used to try to ridicule the Russians. Oh yeah, the Russians use the flags! Oh, hey, really stupid. Trying to make people sound stupid when they're doing something intelligent is really a bad idea because even our own military eventually is to break down to all kinds of alternate solutions that really don't look too bright, but in reality are sensible. The Russians understood radio conservation and radio security, OPSEC, operational and signet signal security. So, why talk and squawk on a radio when all your tank commanders are typically riding high and exposed or riding low and exposed? And all you need to do is use a flag to give an order for traffic signals. Duh? Well, no, I have to have a switch and I got to use the radio and I have to be able to tr- Why? Why? Because somebody decided it looks cool in the movies before you do that, but it's not cool for you to use something that's completely silent and impossible to intercept. Wow, I guess maybe we don't worry about movie cool because movie cool is irrelevant and movie cool Well, like I said pull that pin and watch that grenade that looks like a nuclear device and flames balls of flames Where do they get those grenades? The same is true with everything else. Remember, throughout 90% of the BSA generate, which is designed to misdirect you in the first place. Operational security utilizing simple signal systems, especially where they're short range and it's difficult, if not impossible, intercept are always a plus. Let me give you an example of something we've discussed before that's so simple it's ridiculous and yet everybody, nobody, everybody's seen it. And most people don't know what they're looking at. Now how many of you all think it's really cool? Have you ever seen those reduced-haps those guys buy or the Humvees or maybe the cuck fees or the Dodge M880s or the M715s or the 1514 months? And on the back they have that blackout lighting. Wow, that's cool. How does that blackout convoy lighting work? Anybody? Do you know? Ever played with it? Okay, let me give you a brief explanation. It works fours twos and ones. Huh? That's right, fours, twos, and ones. Now ideally, what you have are a set of what we call mouse eyes. And they're either side of the center of the light of a little light bar that you have in the back of the vehicle. Now a driver, traveling at 45 miles per hour, is supposed to be traveling in blackout convoy and is supposed to use nothing but those mouse eyes to guide and maintain his distance in convoy. Well, how do they work? Well, you're supposed to be seeing two dots. If you see two dots, one left, one right, you're at optimal distance. If you're too far away, the two dots become one dot, and you've actually allowed your lead vehicle or the vehicle in front of you that's your leader vehicle to get too far away from you. If you get so close that you can see four dots, that means two dots to each side, you're too darn close, it's time to touch the brake and back off. Oh, so that's how they work. Yes, kiss. Keep it simple, stupid. They're so simple, it's ridiculous. They're so easy to use that, wow, they don't require a whole lot of technology, do they guys? No, not very much technology at all. Sometimes simplest is bestest. Everybody understand how that works? If it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid. Now, that simple, simple communication for the sake of traveling in convoy does not require breaking radio silence. It doesn't require somebody say, back off, speed up, back off, speed up, back off, hit the brakes, hit the gas, hit the brakes, hit the gas. Each operator is expected to perform based upon interpreting the information available and in front of them. Oh, that's how it works. Which means the driver has to stay focused. He can't be chewing bubble gum, listening to a radio, and kind of thinking he's going to pay attention. Everything gets shut off, noise discipline, light discipline have to be maintained, and the idea is that the driver stays focused and attentive. Hey, have another cup of coffee, have another cup of tea, how about slapping everyone as well? And remember, rotate drivers so that there's no fatigue, if at all possible. That's what the purpose is. Anyway, uh... that combined with another thing that i will mention again cuz i've had doofs and idiots and i get tired of this you have these fools that make comments all the crazy ideal stalker wars from back in the nineties that's really stupid now your dunder head if you don't understand how takamars work or you keep talking to people about how we all the world crazy for talking about it First of all, TechMars were covered specifically in all NATO manuals. They are in most transportation log manuals or transportation core manuals because it is, again, a simple system. It's a stupid system. It works, so it's not stupid. Well, how do TechMars work? It's very simple. We have a color marker. The color marker is a square. Now, mark is with a blue convoy, or given a tag to go follow a blue convoy square. All you have to do is take the with a, even if there's no language cooperation at all, you point to a clipboard, blue square, point at the sign, everybody nods, understand, follow the signs. You can even do a little classroom instruction on this, so no matter who they are, Norwegians, Chinese, they can be Molokins, they can be whoever. And everybody gets the same simple class, even without being able to speak to each other. This, driver. This, sign. follow and have two or three signs and go this to this to this you drive make steering wheel symbol and follow through simple you give the clipboard and you put on the top of the clipboard is the page with blue all the blue square Now you can vary the geometric symbols and a square is easiest because what do you get? Well you get a roll of tape of tag markers. Not even tag markers, it's just a roll of fluorescent tape or it's a roll of reflective taping. It can be red, blue, green, pink, yellow, whatever. Now if I need to do more than one root, well you're going to follow blue square. He's going to follow red triangle. How do we make a red triangle? Well, we've got to roll a tape. We're going to cut a square, and then we're going to cut on an angle from point to point, corner to corner, and we're going to make triangles. I make twice as many triangles every time I cut a square. Hey, and it's so simple, it's stupid, and doesn't require any great math. Now, if I need to make another root, I'm going to make green, square, or rectangle. I can make the thing a rectangle by making my little piece of roll-off tape longer. Now I have a rectangle, but I want to make sub-paths or sub-routines. Well, if I have more than one geometric symbol and I want to keep it in place because I want to use it for road control without radio, then all I have to do is have my MPs or my transportation control officers and NCOs plot out a route. Send out teams to tag the signs. And I can go from A to B without talking to anybody. I can repeat it over and over again. Nobody's going to be confused about the route. And again, it can be done night or day. I can use IR sensitive tape, but I don't have to. I can use any duct tape I can get my hands on. And now it comes in colors. I can do it in Zebra! Just like Ted Nugget uses for all of his things. Oh look! It's a Ted Nugget marker! This is going to take me to a Ted Nuget game farm! Because I got a Takamar that's rectangular with a corner cut out of it. So I'm going to Nuget's game farm! Weee! Well, I don't think they'd be doing that. But, hey, you never know. He's working for them, not for us. Anyway... What's cute about that is that again any number of geometric symbols can be used. Octagon squares have been used, circles have been used. I mean purely a matter of how many routes do you have in an area and how many subdivisions do you need depending upon how many troops you're putting in the field. Okay, so tachymars are very real, work very easily, and can be as sophisticated as you're willing to spend money on or the lack of money that you have means you can't spend any more money than a certain amount on the project. So the system of course worked all of that out and explained it many TMs, TCs and FM's over the last what? 60 years worth of military operations. Tech Mars have been used forever. To what degree depends on how sophisticated the road network is and the signage systems available. America is sign crazy. All the international standard BS they've already plugged into, take a look at how much money is just spent on trying to tell you what's on the road even though most you've ignored or don't pay attention to it anyway. It gives them lots of signage, except not private, all publicly paid for, for them to use at their discretion. But that's not the only way you can set up a TACMAR system. You can also use telephone poles and reflectors. In fact, they could be metallic reflectors ready to go. And they get tagged in. That was done in the past. Both the British, the French, and the Dutch have used reflective tag type slash nail type TACMARs. What's the big deal? How hard is that to figure out? Duh! So slap somebody side to head with to make these stupid comments about the TACMARS, how they work. Okay, we'll settle it real quick. And again, prior to proper punting prevents piss-poor performance. When you run into these, it would be a good idea to have two things. Now a razor blade is not going to work as well as you think on the good TACMARS. In fact, they're designed to be brittle and to not come off in one piece. Oh, you didn't try that? Trust me, we've done all the research on this. I don't know how we would know this, but there are things that work. Now, by the way, True Value Hardware produces a metallic gray that is probably the best solution if you have TACMARS in your area. And what it is, is the silver gray that they produce is almost perfectly matched to the backs of new industrial road signs. So rather than trying to scrape something off, if you wanted to, with one big oversized can with six extra ounces of spray because it's on sale and you got extra spray and you got a bigger can, you could go along and just cover up the Tecmars so that they all look just like the metal and surface around there. It's difficult to figure out what's on the side and what isn't. Hey, they'd be cheating no the cheating would be the fun part went back years ago when the remember when we were going into Kosovo illegitimately to steal the minerals for the Israelis there and to steal the stuff from the Serbians And so the ethnic Albanians, the Mexicans of the Middle East, of Asia, the southern part of Europe and you know, North East, Northwest Asia there could invade Kosovo. Remember when we were promoting that? Well, the British were involved and they were going to go through Mesopotamia. They were going to go through Greece with their ground forces rather than fly in. Bunch of Greek personnel people who really didn't want to have any of this in their backyard and really hated the British for you know Involving everybody so they could go steal the property from Serbia well a bunch of smart Greeks went out with wrenches and they undid the signs and Remember, this was a little thing we reported that happened the expeditionary force the British were gonna move through Greece were taken a hundred and fifty miles off course because they decided to use the NATO Takmar system and the Greeks were smart enough to use it on them. They actually took the British Expeditionary Force out in the middle of a bunch of rocky farm fields in the middle of nowhere, 150 miles from where they were supposed to be in Greece, off on a totally different route. Cool! So don't say it can't be done. It's already been done. Okay, so there's an example of miscommunication because this is communication Tuesday now another thing battlefield transmission something else we mentioned here, and I want to remind everybody about Yep, you can have the biggest thinking transmitter on the planet you can blow everybody's speakers right out of their ears and You could be talking through all your radio systems that are offline if they're close enough to your linear amplifier but the problem is that that also makes for one hell of a bullet magnet and So let's remind everybody that we need to experiment and understand the potential limiting of our transmitters so that we become a minimal signal if we're going to use our radios at all. There is a second reason for this. There's only so much power you have in your batteries. Why are you trying to talk to Mexico when you only needed to talk to the person two miles down the road? Oh, see that's like CBs. One thing, if we have the car running and we can run it non-stop and we have a gas station that's open every so many miles, that sounds cool. But on the other hand, if we are limited in fuel and limited in power, we don't want to run the car non-stop 24-7 or hours and hours to recharge equipment. This is another reason that we also want to integrate other technologies to include solar cell recharging. and all kinds of other cool stuff to include hand crank generators and, you know, motivated generators that allow you to pedal them or to crank them by hand non-stop to produce the power that's needed only as needed. Remember you can run off that generator direct and not consume your stored battery charge. Hey, that's kinda nice. Well, the advantage of that is, of course, that when the time comes in a more intense situation, as you need to communicate, you switch over to your battery system, you make everything lightweight, you're more maneuverable, et cetera, even with mechanized forces. Remember that you can have tiered options with regard to how you set your signal communications in motion and how you use it. This is especially critical when it comes to what we're seeing with regard to platoon, company. battalion, regiment or brigade depending upon the structure of your formations, and then both division and army and corps groups. So it's most important, and everybody goes, well up through these tiers, well, army groups, well, you know, actually people are talking about resistance or fighting operations covering whole states. Well, you're going to have upper command structures to reduce the amount of time it takes. Something like a down-bronner pulse, so a commander looking at his field troops operating at his command, where he can observe them when he orders them to stop and start. Well, you can't do that when you're talking a division of a force of men or men and women that's 12,000, 10,000, 8,000 operating over a wide stretch, a wide area of operational terrain, activity areas that are as diversified as the throw of a dice. So one of the things that needs to be remembered is you actually also don't want to clutter up certain frequencies or think that one frequency or one radio band is going to get the job done. Remember that if you go into a full fledged combat situation you're going to be using countermeasures and deception technology. You need to. You want to. It's fun. I mean come on guys. You can get the enemy to waste time, resources, manpower, ordnance, the whole nine yards. And in fact, rather than saying we're just going to shut everything off, how about lighting everything up? Hey, wait, but that's not fair. Yeah, because you can even put transmitters in enemy positions that give off radio chatter or, you know, again, you're trying to create encrypted concealed radio chatter that can be through an area of activity that the aggressor controls and you can force them to actually have to make a decision in many cases purely by accident, lack of single communications or proper communications on their end. They'll dump ordnance on themselves if you do it right. But you have to be thinking in advance and this includes any number of different ways. Look at this way, air signal radio, radio countermeasures and radio deception can be delivered by air, it can be delivered by water, it can be delivered by enemy vehicle. In other words, we're not talking about anything that goes boom. We're just talking about making it sound like somebody else is other than what everybody thought they were. Hey, it's kind of like putting your cell phone in somebody else's vehicle if they're looking for you and letting it go round and round and round and round and round and round until they finally stop the vehicle or stop the train or stop whatever it is you threw it on and then they find out that you're not where they were looking for you. It's just wastes a whole lot of their time. See, there's a little mini version of what can be done. In fact, you want to leave cell phones laying around, maybe that you acquire from other yard sales and such, and that they decide they really need real bad. Let them pick stuff up. In fact, ideally, if you can get it to serve other purposes, you might want to have it broadcasting or at least signal charge and operating and pinging for a while so it's flagged to you. And then you pass it on to somebody else who throws it on a semi truck or duct tapes it to a train car and it goes on down the road miles and miles and miles away and keeps right on going. In fact, maybe they'll be so interested they just keep following it. Because boy it must be important. Whatever's going on, he's going a long way. Yep, yep, we'll track it with all of our Secret Squirrel 800 Meg monitoring systems blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well you do that Secret Squirrel, you keep that up. See, the idea is clutter the battlefield. I won't let you spend all your money, but I would say watch for cassette players that people are throwing out, little cassette players, big cassette players. You can use these for a number of different missions, and we're going to show you a little bit of that with some up and coming video work we're going to be doing. In fact, I'm sorting stuff right now for that reason. We're going to be getting a bunch of stuff done fast, fast, fast. But one of the things to consider is, again, remember, any little noisemaker helps. Even in close proximity, we're talking about noise and sound and light security. What that means is discipline, maintaining discipline slash light discipline and noise discipline, reducing it. But let's say that we want to create high confidence so that a bad guy monitoring an area of say a couple of mile front or an area of activity that he thinks is active with us, we're going to make him believe it even though we're not there. includes the chatter or the sound of people just making quiet conversation. Not talking like this, but think, how do you talk when you're in a tactical situation, a tactical environment? Limiting or reducing radioactivity, but still making radioactivity that's exposed to a degree that when the technology is out there, which it will be, they pick it up and assume that you're trying to be deceptive. Now it has to create high confidence. So you can't just have the same thing rolling over and over again. Those big old 90 minute tapes on those cassette machines make a big difference. Gives you a whole lot of play time, a lot of different time. You're not going to be running broadcast nonstop. But as you start and stop stuff, remember, it's 100 minutes plus, OK, 90 minutes, 120 minutes plus, of information that you can prerecord and you can enter into the deception inventory. These are all kinds of things that are done and in fact the military has done for years people Been done to the point where I mean every variation of the I'm talking about this is only a fingernail scratching Of some of the stuff that's been done. They don't even like let me give an example about intelligence countermeasures Do you know that a good portion of what was done during the American Revolutionary War? is still classified to this day Everybody goes whoa Seriously, there's only bits and pieces of what was used during that war that's actually been made public. Some of it, of course, like invisible ink and this and that and the other becomes pretty obvious. Again, just because you have something written down doesn't mean that it means anything to anybody if you have a phonetic code. But numbers work just as well. Why be so obvious? Why make it so somebody can actually figure out what it is? Numbers are on everything, symbols are on everything. Symbols can be used. In clothing, in stitching. Oh, that gives you a thought. Think about all you seamstresses out there. How many of the sewing machines you have out there to have a little program, even going back through the 50s, have little programming spindles that you actually plug into an indexer, and they're an analog system, and they stitch out a certain object? Well, if you incorporate that into something that somebody's wearing, how would anybody truly know what they're looking at? Is it just embroidery? Is it just a pattern? Or is it a code? Hey, Mark's reading really mean because then the enemy has to be really paranoid because anything can... Oh, that's right. Anything can be used to transmit information. Why put a piece of paper in your boot that somebody might find and hang you for later when it can be an integrated part of something that only you and the person that's supposed to receive the message knows anything about? Hey, there's a cool solution right there. By the way, you can also use the deception with a little slip of paper and other things to be found in abandoned pieces of equipment, etc. to clutter the enemy's mind. Is it real? Is it fake? Is it justified that we do additional research? Well, after a while, it can't take a chance. So clutter it. Throw more debris and flack out there. Throw more junk up. By the way, that's a term used by air defense, throwing junk. I've mentioned this many times. They don't worry about whether or not it's all going to hit. They expect it not to. Contrary to all the BS with all these paper pushers and beam counters, air defense, if the pilot's doing his job, he's trying not to get shot. Your job is to throw enough junk up there so at least you don't remind him if he's so busy dodging, he won't necessarily hit what he's aiming at. So that really means that air defense served its purpose and did its job. Now if you hit them, all the better still. But it's called throwing junk. Get more garbage in the air. The more garbage in the air, the higher the probability of hitting. The higher the probability of doing damage. Anyway, we're almost to the top. One more time on this guys for our friends out there. Oh, interesting. Well, real quick here, www.rap4.com. That's www.rap4.com. Go there, then go to catalog, and then when you get to the catalog, to the far right of the toolbar, you'll see clearance. Go to the clearance section. In the BDU Uniforms section they will have 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x BDU uniforms in tops and in bottoms. Some are some more, some less in terms of size options. Take a look and if it's a uniform that you guys are using and you have people that need those uniforms, it's $20 a top, $20 a bottom for the exotic large sizes. You can't beat that price. Oh, I got a uniform. You don't got enough. You need change outs in uniform. You need multiple copies. Here's a chance to have extras on the shelf. Guess what? Use up the lighter, cheaper ones. Use up the other aftermarket ones and save your best gear for when you do go into combat. That's what we do. I don't take my best for training operations. I'll use it. We experiment and we test stuff. But I don't say I don't use my best in training operations. I use my bruisers, my abusers. Why? That way, when the time comes, my best is ready to roll. It's in my backpack. It's ready to pull out of the top of the kit or all it's laying on top of the kit and then it goes into the field. See how that works guys? So this gives you the ability to train better, train longer with the right gear or to rotate out the equipment so your clothing isn't beat down. and again www.rap4.com and then go to catalog, then go to clearance and then you'll find BDUs, they also have some vests. If your unit is standardized on Tiger Stripe, they have some pretty good prices on the, well it's the same price. $20 a top, $20 a bottom for 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x. They have both pants and they have jackets. Okay? And Tiger Stripe is becoming a little tougher to find in different patterns that you guys are more familiar with. Anyway, We are at the top. We're gonna hear the music in a second. Also, Sergeant Dyer's video on YouTube. The right to defend freedom. The right to defend freedom. That's Sergeant Dyer's video. Take the time. Check it out. The right to defend freedom. Go to YouTube. Then punch in as a search. The right to defend freedom. Now it's Tuesday, we should have Spike coming up behind us here, so don't you touch that dial. More live radio right here on Liberty Tree Radio. We'll be back at 8 o'clock with Donna Mark on the intel report. As always, God bless the Republic. Death to the new world order.
