The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children have people. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in 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 trampled each god-given rite, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I am Mark Kornke and I'm Don Fletcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west central southeast and south. Well ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, PBN.4MG.com, and we're on live 365 and go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network, top of Maine, bottom of Florida, across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, all the way up to Nebraska with the three-eyed nuclear cows. Waving to all of our friends in the Rockies, we then sweep across the plains, over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi line and the Smokies, slash the Blue Ridge. Where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, the OK teams, the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium, are doing their part to get the job done. That's right. Landing on the other side of the big muddy. Well, Don, it's cool, it's clear. Winds died down a little bit after sunset, typically the case. What's it like in your neck of the woods and what's the date today, sir? Well, Mark, it is the 24th day of October, year of our Lord, 2011. And it, you know, did get chilly. It's sundown and temperatures going up. I'm not certain if we've got a freeze warning. We had one last night, or rather the night before. and it was warmer last night, then probably it will be tonight because I can see some stars up there. So, you know, about that radiant heat and all of that. So again, the 24th day of October, you guys, not a whole lot going on, Mark. I wasn't into the evening news or the latest of the, you know, treat them like a mushroom, all the way there that is the mainstream. So I can't really reflect on that. But I was doing something earlier in the day and technical difficulties and stuff like that. I want to run back into that if that would be okay. Go ahead, jump right in there. Okay, thank you. We've talked about, and I'm doing this because we can use as example this date and people say, well, why do you talk about history and other things? But when you look back and even dinky little things are great big things. Sometimes, you know, and find the medium, it'll apply to you somehow, somewhere. That in mind, you know, not everybody has, oh, fleets of battleships here. This seventh will be the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Basically the Pacific Fleet minus the carriers. That was a good, good for us. You know, even George Orwell would have admitted reflecting. Good, good. A whole bunch of the fleet there on the muddy bottom never came back up. Destroyed a bunch of what historians say, you know, well, They were good airplanes when they were ground attacked, destroyed a bunch of almost antique aircraft and left the places intact. The Japanese gone in and marked all of the gasoline reserves. Had they gone in and pulverized the dry docks, many of those ships there would have stayed there perhaps until the end of the war. The war would have been for a good long time based on this. I wanted to work on that because, well, again, this is the 24th of October. on that in a little while because through the night it will be the 25th soon. There are some old salts saying, I know where Don is going and Mark you might know too, you do. But you guys, we have talked on this in a number of different ways and this is a good example of it. I don't mean to use that over and over. When the Japanese left, there was a whole bunch of metal right there on the bottom of the harbor and some of it was still even sunk upright. some of it was beached and able to be salvaged a lot easier. If you listen on the internet you might not be able to do it right now but sometime later or after now, sometime later, that will work too. Take the time and punch in searches for pictures of Pearl Harbor salvage operations. I don't know if you'd want to phrase it like that. Make it as short as you can and it will probably work for you. But some of the things that work that you'll see the way levers work. and dry docks for certain. If this would have made, it would have been that, it would have basically created a scorched earth military ability. We've talked about this in a number of different ways, but it wasn't done. And again, it gave us that, you know, stronghold there. But the other thing that it gave us was the ability to just, well, punch in some pictures of salvage of Pearl Harbor. And Mark, you and I talked about this. There's this one guy, I think he, what was it? It was Archimedes that talked about levers at any rate. If you can find some pictures you guys, there are some great levers. They're phenomenal pictures. In fact, it's interesting that even back during the war, I don't think they offered as much coverage as we've seen that came out of the National Archives here. Oh yeah. The efforts that were made, because it wasn't a few days later marked that the Japanese in open water, in open ocean sank the repulse and the Prince of Wales. I believe a cruise and a battleship respectively. Might have been the other way around. But they went to the bottom in open ocean, never to be seen again. I'm waiting for the National Geographic reviews. It'll be interesting. It'll be nice to see someday. But all of those ships that sank at Pearl Harbor, one of them was grounded and that helped rather well in its salvage. All of those ships that were sunk there, saved for the Arizona and I, what was it, the Utah? All of those ships were raised and went back into battle. What I think is most interesting about this is with regard to each of these that again back in the day like many other components they didn't want anybody to know what was going on in Pearl Harbor at the time anyway Don because obviously we wanted to you know technically keep the Japanese guessing so a lot of this information was around but it wasn't necessarily you know it wasn't easily accessible and certainly wasn't necessarily shown to the general population that we were seeing it today. Right, it's good. And again, this is like Monday morning quarterbacking. We did start this off with, what if, didn't we? And a third strike. But now, I said more on that later, didn't I, Mark? And I bring it as example, was it in the springtime when we talked about a fuel convoy leaving Pakistan, our good, good buddies there in Pakistan, going in to take fuel into Army outpost and maybe Air Force Marines in Afghanistan there. It might have been a Monday mark when they got on their horses and started everything up and started the convoy out. The convoy got out of Pakistan and it got lit up literally and the whole convoy burned. Remember we talked about that. Then the next day another one sent out and then the third day they were talking about it in mainstream media again. The commander did that for five or seven days. Every day a convoy went out and every day it got burned down. Now this goes over to logistics and cutting off the, you know, had the Japanese struck the whole depots, the lean and diesel, and the ability to bring them on shore, the pipelines and whatnot, the ability to transfer. That would have been historians say, Mark, that the Japanese would have had a better military conquest had they struck all of the to repair, naval ability to repair, and all of the fuel and all of the other logistical on the island and not drop the bomb on any battleship. That would have been far greater. But again, that's the what ifs. But I bring that up as an example because we've talked about this a number of times. Had they run in a third strike, it would have been a lot more like leave your opponent, devastate them like ashes in the whirlwind. Like, oh, there's another pass. like dung on the ground. The Japanese didn't do that at Pearl Harbor. In fact, it wasn't even a great naval victory because you know what? If you've been bumping around on the internet a little bit there, you'll see some of them pictures of them huge levers welded to the sides of some of them ships. And the coffer dams built around them, the ones that settled straight and kind of even on their keel. Well, you know, you just can't pump the water out of a ship, seal it up and pump air into it because, well, they are built like submarines are. At any rate, the efforts that were made were successful. That's the thing I'm getting at here too. It wasn't a big victory because almost every one of those. I can go over here and read a list of some of the actions that happened on the night that we live in now. What is it they say? The 24th? From the time of the 24th to the time of the 25th. 1943. Now we're talking about the time of the Battle of the Leyte Gulf, you guys. The Japanese really didn't want us there and looked very hard at that and committed so much that, well, they lost a whole lot of boat. The Nevada, the Tennessee, and the Raleigh, they went on to the Aleutian Islands in 43, and the Nevada went landing in June 44. We've talked about that. The Tennessee Mark joined the West Virginia, the California, Maryland and Pennsylvania to participate in the battle of the Leyte Gulf in October, I'm sorry, 1944. The Japanese had summoned the majority of their dwindling naval forces in an attempt to disrupt the American landings at Leyte in the Philippines. It was the largest naval campaign in history and marked the end of the Japanese Navy as an effective fighting force. A series of torpedo attacks and American destroyers ambushed the Japanese battleship force on the evening of October 25th. So I'm 24 hours off on this. Surigato Strait, using their new fire control radar, we've talked about ranging out of context and we've talked about even the radar aboard the Bismarck. We've referred to that. But using their new fire control radar, the Tennessee, the West Virginia, and California, and 220 rounds from their main batteries. The children's older radar system could, and with that she added 48 shots of her own. two Japanese battleships, the Fuso and the Yamashiro had been sunk along with three destroyers, the badly damaged cruiser Magamo, Surigato Strait was the last surface action fought between opposing battleships, having waited almost three years for a great satisfaction to many Americans and it must have been a bitter pill for the Japanese. But you guys came from again, what were those ships? the Tennessee, the West Virginia, and California, all of those were on the bottom at Pearl. Hold over on the side or onto a bank mark and there they were later to, well, one might say extract revenge, but again, they didn't go down in deep water. They were salvageable, fought to bear on their enemy again. We've talked, I do this right now and use it as example and I know, well, Don, you're talking about Pearl Harbor and that's December 7th, but we're talking about a battle that happened We're looking at the eve of the day of that battle. That's one way to say it. Exemplify when you're standing there toe to toe, do everything you can to take the opponent, to crush him, to add biblically, to turn him into a whirlwind of ash, to make him as dung on the ground. Utterly defeat him. Now, instead of leaving those things like the battleship there on the bottom of Pearl Harbor, leaving all those goodies there, take with you what you can. There's a number of things, Mark, that it said, well, that's biblical and people have run out a number of phrases and said, well, the Lord helps those who help themselves. Find that in Scripture for me, you guys. Okay? Find that in Scripture for me. Here's another one waste not want not find that in Scripture For me, okay But now think about that to take to when you look at when the op forces in front you have the ability and you know that if we Do this we are going we have overwhelming force We will not lose this and you make that motion take everything from there it is we've talked about and everything else that isn't made into multiple pieces and sometimes you might want to take the pieces. When you think about pieces, look down at little things like paper. Paper can be intelligence even if you can't read that language. Paper can be intelligence even if you can't interpret. I'm not certain what this represents at all. Everything that you take away, if you just walk away from there then, well it's good to think about we're not going to go the same way we came and we've addressed that all everything that you take away. If you cannot remove this iron hull, this, you know, track vehicle with steel, it would be good to render it useless. Now you might think, well, Don, we could probably come back while the other side is probably thinking about where is it right now. And the right now that I want to reinforce, it's been said, Mark, that, you know, there's no place in Michigan where somebody can't come the radio and have a helicopter there within 15 minutes. mind if you're looking at, we are going to make this this op-force into dust. Evolc, think about the time frame from the instant that well, going on to well you want to be someplace else and not in the same way you came but in the interim there you want to there's a whole bunch of dung on the ground now and you want to pick and choose and carry away that which you know hey is I think they call it well along with the dung there's We've addressed that in so many different ways, be it gas masks, be it boots, be it cases of ammunition, even uniforms. Do your own research on that, on the Geneva Conventions and everything, but understand that when the foreign boots are here, no matter what color of the helmet they wear, they're not going to be a respecter of the Geneva Conventions because much of that America is, Mark, we've talked about this too. Much of that America has turned into a bit of paper and ground underfoot and then kicked into the little fire there. Metaphorically speaking, speaking symbolically and all of those parables and things like that. But Mark, you've addressed that plainly when you talk about torture and America dressing it, not only addressing it, bringing it to the front and talking about it openly as a tool. Geneva Conventions and the Hague things and all of the rules of warfare when it comes to treating prisoners, America has fluttered its nose at in most recent actions. So don't expect that, well, if the blue helmets are here or if the green helmets are here, put any color on it. Don't expect that they will treat you under international law because, well, you're a You're a soldier and you're captured under international law. America has already made that contract. How does that go Mark? Null and void. Another reason, and you've said this so many times Mark, another reason to when you overwhelm that force, take everything, but another reason to only commit when you know that you have a win. Why? Because you do not want to become a captive of the out force. You do not want to be a slave, one way, form, shape or another because well, we've talked about torture moments ago, didn't we, Mark? And if the United States openly says, well, if we can't torture you here, we'll render you over to someone else who will, you know, well, that's still going on and America can stand there and say, you know, a fearless leader can stand there and say, we don't torture anybody. No, we send them to our friends who do. So again, that contract is null and void, isn't it? Another reason to, how does that go? Make them die. How many of them can we make die? We should probably play that at the bottom. We're almost at the bottom of the hour. But we heard that earlier today, so we don't have to do that again. But the point is... When it is there and when you see that it is you have the overwhelming opportunity to win do not pass it up when you do make it as short as possible take everything green everything police everything from the field that you would find useful anything that you leave their render unfit for anything else and then exit the ao in a different way from where you came in You know what mark? It's almost like somebody should sit down if you want to look at timing drills and whatnot. Look at the way people run things with a watch these days when you see some of the Hollywood ways people rob banks. We're going to go to break, Don. Thank you. You guys will be right back. I can sure go on sometimes, but you know what? You just wham the up. You're walking through the area and you say, pick that up and pick that up. And each of those men, that guy just picked up a wooden box and you know what's in it. And the other guy picked up another wooden box, slid out of the sink, and the other guy over there, he picked up another one. And as you turn to leave, because you're leaving right now, you've just walked away with three cases of ammunition that you know will work in your guns. But you know what, you've just denied the op force, Mark? You know it. Cases of bullets that they aren't going to shoot at your brethren. Understand that. I'm trying to go with that first half hour as I can make it, Mark. I'll be quiet. Thank you very much. In many cases, again, when looking at how you're going to harvest, you actually can be selective. Remember, you sculpt your engagements so that you deny critical resources but access particular systems. Sometimes, you may not need or may not even be considered a priority slash critical defense item for the other side, but it may be very valuable to you under certain conditions. Probably the best example is, let's remind everybody of something. General Gayep, Don, he was the guy who in charge of pretty much all combat operational forces for the Republican North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, wasn't he? Yep. Had a good understanding of artillery, right? Oh yes. Understood his small arms. Uh-huh. Realized the full potential of all of his men. To the nth degree. In fact he fought more than one war. Actually fought the French first and turned around and had to fight us next, right? Yes, he was a very... he had... he... yes. Now for all of that, Understanding guys that he coordinated or at least was, you know, the strategic policies of that war, of two wars, were basically laid out by General Gaiot. In his book, he stated that there was one tool, one item, one piece of equipment that the Americans brought to the theater that was the most critical component of the war. It wasn't artillery. It wasn't the airplane, it wasn't all the bombs that were dropped. Because you know, they scavenged bombs. I mean, you realize guys, you've seen it. It wasn't the M16 or the M1 carbine or the M1 Garand or the Browning 1919 or the M60 hog or anything like that. He stated that the one most valuable thing that he acquired from us was the U.S. Folding Shovel Slash and Trenching Tool. And in fact, it was so easily accessible because the Americans were so flippantly rich in resources. One of the first things that typically a soldier would discard when they were in the field, be they Arvin or US, was the E-tool. Now, that doesn't seem like much. But then we have to look at books like, what were the tunnels of? What? What? Uh, yeah, play who? Play coo tunnels of play. Oh, and where do you think they now granted they did do the Hogan's Heroes routine? They actually took hands and cut them in half and made scoops and things like that But do you realize what a little folding shovel with an oak handle on it can do for somebody having a tunnel a thousand miles? Oh, you know, you can go to Vietnam today and pay and go down and tour those tunnels. They still can access them and that's what's interesting. Now, it doesn't mean they didn't use other tools. But most important here is GAP actually pointed out that that E-tool, because you got to remember the size of the Vietnamese soldier. That US folding shovel was small by our standards. But for a guy who was, say, 90 pounds soaking wet, That was a major physical tool that allowed him to perform to the best of his ability perfectly engineered American carbon steel best possible quality materials and in many cases we just dropped it right into the hands of the enemy and they used it day after day and it never left after that once I got hold of it Never saw the light of day again Think about that. We have a caller. Who do we have? Yeah, George from Texas. We got here 12 Hey, um, yeah, I'm sitting there, um, yeah, you're sitting there talking about Pepper Spring. I mentioned it the last hour on Spike's shirt when you look on Yahoo News. You know you have a police officer in Utah that pepper sprayed a crowd at a high school game There was no riots. There was no fighting. It's just they're doing a hacky sack victory dance and the cop claimed you so like Tell everybody to move out of the way so because they're so like blocking the exit and then he said there's nobody like him in so I pepper sprayed him Hopefully everybody at the football game then turn him turn around and beat him down. I hope Yeah I mean seriously, you know, there's a point at which In the past, it was like, first of all, common sense would be applied. Okay, especially, I mean, were these, were they rioting, burning down the stadium? Were they myrtle-lating people? Were there dead cheerleaders on the field and the quarterback impaled upon the, you know, victory poll or what? No, but guys, I'd be willing to bet that the police officer just lost a whole lot of money and it was because the team that was celebrating won. Bobo didn't make the ball. That's a little running joke here in Dexter. Bobo. Anyway, well, again, my whole point, George, is this is where you'll take him out behind the woodsheds. You don't think it's going to do any good? You know what I mean? Well, you know the thing is, even a Houston police officer I know lives around here, the 8th living in Houston, he likes living out here, he does at the Bush International Airport, and he's predicting that there's going to be a spontaneous flash mob if these TSA punks keep pushing it. I wouldn't even call it necessarily a flash mob. Well, yeah, it'll be a flash mob in that somebody might just finally say, well, like I said, all it takes is one person to start saying no. And the latest thing, of course, everybody's writing about, I've gotten like six different stories. One is on somebody with some gold, somebody with silver, somebody going to, what was it, Las Vegas? Viva Las Vegas. Now, somebody going to Las Vegas with money and they're hassling them? I mean, what do you do in Las Vegas? You're not going there for the museums. You're not going there for, you know, the only reason you're going to Las Vegas is to spend money and preferably they want you to do it on their casinos. So, what is the level of stupidity? If nothing else, what we should do is don't call your congressman. You want to get the TSA squared away about Las Vegas? Call the casinos. The mob will go bust their legs. Think about it. Forget about it. You know what I mean? These guys, Guido would come out and go, hey, I understand you guys have been messing with our people coming in here that tried to drop money into our coffins. You know, if they don't throw out money into our coffas, we're gonna bust your legs. That would make sense to me. I mean, it's the only thing that's gonna work. You know, tell the organized crime people that the other organized crime people that are working for the hacks are why they're not gonna come to Las Vegas. Why you're not going to go to Las Vegas? I think we ought to do a campaign on that. It'd be kind of fun to see what happens. Oh, we weren't really after anybody's gold, silver, or cash. No, no, no, no. Because they're trying to pre- what they're trying to do is figure out how they can pre-steal. And like under the logic that, well, if you have everything stolen from you by TSA, that you're just going to find some miraculous money and pull it out of your arse and spend money in Las Vegas anyway? That ain't going to happen. 99% of the people they show up, not only are they not going to spend the money that would have been spent on the casinos, they're also going to previously say, I don't need this hassle, I ain't coming back here again. Stuff it up your hind end. I'd look right at them and say that. Everybody starts needing, he starts doing that. You know what? You're the reason I ain't never coming back here. I'll never spend a penny in this town again and I'm going to call all the casinos and let them know. That would be the best thing everybody could do because you know they're gonna go after what they're doing is They're now starting the privateering thing because as I pointed out this is gonna escalate to thievery or even more overt thievery than we've already seen You know they're already stealing stuff They did the whole BS with the nail clippers and all that other garbage and the only people they disarmed were the regular people on the plane You know everything that they took they sold If you don't think so, go to government auctions. The government auction sites, you have bins of stuff that the TSA has stolen that they sell at the auction. You can seal a bid on so many pounds of, so many pallet bins of. It won't be so much a flash mob that's engineered like the ones you see where the blacks have been told to do that by whoever was engineering that, orchestrating them and manipulating them. It's going to be more in the line of, you know, Mom and Dad and Biff and Buff are just plain fed up and they're finished. And there's not a whole lot you can do to slow them down once they kick in. That's the only thing I gotta say about it. It's just gonna be very un-pretty for the bad guys. You know Mark, and you know the thing is, everybody thinks, you know, for some of the people who say, the FCC is gonna take over the internet, they're doing the highway checkpoints. That just means, Mark, they're on their last legs. They're losing their hind end. Well, it's like the bank, let's put it this way, if it's feudal resistant you'll be absorbed. They wouldn't be terrified of the idea of you taking the digits out of the banks. You know what I mean? Think about it. If they have all the digits they need and if they're all powerful, why are they worried about a piddly 6,000, like I said when that happened the other day, some guy had $6,000. You've seen the black guy that's on the one, the YouTube video, and he goes, you'll have like five, six, $6,000 and I wanted to withdraw it. They told me I could even go in there. Now that's chump change. I mean guys, let's do the math. Put $3 trillion on a piece of paper. Okay? Then take the $6,000 amount and set it underneath it. Ask yourself this. How many $6,000 go into $3 trillion? Times three! Come on! It's like, he's, it's chump change. It's like when you talk about them stealing millions almost nowadays. I don't even think twice and be like, AHH! It's like, who cares anymore? You got somebody stinking digits out there, somebody walking away with a, you know, they do it right now here in Dexter. They're thieving left and right. I know they are. There's no doubt about it. The hacks and the tit suckers and all the rest that are in there, they are stealing left and right. I want to know whose brother built the pier across the creek. Yeah, the bridge to nowhere. The four foot short of a bridge. Yeah, right. The point is again that with what I see happening and especially with what we've been talking about here, the idea that pulling off the enemy, the biggest problem is that we've got to remember too that we've got to be ready to produce. We haven't been producing here for a long time guys. We've got people running around in circles. And a lot of them are, you know, some of them are just really good at tit sucking. Okay, they're bureaucrats working for other bureaucrats who are looking at how to find government teats that are generated by senators who have never worked a day in their life and the dirty horse need to be arrested. And what's fascinating about this is that they all know it. But they all absolutely in denial like somehow this is just going to continue and continue and continue what they're not going to like is just like in the airport or it's going to be like one of these senators or one of these congressmen or Somebody else in the bureaucracy is going to run into the guy who just had his wife leave him He lost his job the IRS is trying to steal his property and instead of him going oh poor me I need to be no kill myself He's just going to say I think I'm going to go down and find all of them that are responsible and just start going after them And I believe that's already happening. Like I said, I don't believe they can, they can't afford to report it. Because they can try to plug in this, but at a given point, there's just gonna be the Lexington and Concord Syndrome. I mean, right now, I was thinking about this the other day, this is what's bizarre is, you know, they come out, they'll pull guns or whatever, and everybody for the time being is trying to be polite, but nobody really wants to be anymore. Everybody I talked to, I mean, I don't have to say anything anymore. I was talking to tradesmen down the road here in one direction, and they all said the same thing. It's like, I'm surprised somebody hasn't shot them already and just hasn't kicked off, because, hey, nobody I know that loves them. And the other half of the battle they got is, who would care if they were gone? If somebody said, oh my goodness, you know, it's like, that's why there's that running joke, right, Don? That, you know, nobody would nuke Washington, they would destroy all the confusion. Exactly. They won't do that. They won't. Why? Well, because, and let's say we're all out of there in time so they could go over to Chicago to swap spit with the real, you know, the real, you know, octopus, and even there they got problems. If they were to do that, everybody the next day would be going, well, I feel lighter. Hey, I'm not really worried. What's your point? What do we lose? What are we missing? I mean, I hate some of our national treasures disappearing, but sure as hell I wouldn't count the senators as a national treasure, would you? National liability. See? So think about it, guys. But when TSA starts rolling out these checkpoints nationwide, you think it's all holds barred, no holds barred now? I think what'll happen is, like I said, it's like when you saw these checkpoints around Chicago that were done at night and I pointed this out on the air that were done where you see, you know, like I told everybody, it's not what you see in the checkpoints, it's what's in the darkness. But the point is that anybody who's military, the first thing that they would hear is a lot of small arms fire and they'd wonder why none of the people in the checkpoint were dropping but everybody else that they were talking to on the radio went silent. You see because it's not what you see it's what you don't see Frank I think our perimeter just just got a lot smaller smaller man and And they're all still in the limelight see you go after the ones that think they're safe It's like I've told everybody when you come up on a it's like with a hoo-tari thing One of the things that we pointed out is you go after the control point shooters. Every time that you see those people deployed, ignore the characters out front. Scan the areas of points of control and dump fire into those areas because that's where their long-range shooters are. Your people can shoot farther, you have heavier weapons, you fire into the area. Now if you've got thermal, all the better still. They can't hide. You know what's good for the goose is good for the goosey. That's exactly how people were dealing that with the reconnaissance group They picked out all their snipers. They picked out all their bench seats and that's what you go for first The ones are out in the open will never get back undercover in time before they're laced full of lead The same is true with these checkpoints. I'm just expecting what will happen is somebody is gonna just decide that I ain't got nothing like I said here. Here's the guy the here's the variation on the theme I Gotta stop again What the hell are we stopping for? What's that guy up there doing? ID? What's that sign say? Have your ID ready. Checkpoint. Checkpoint for what? Oh, wait a minute. Hold on here. Beep beep beep. I'm sorry Frank. I've just heard enough. IOS is gonna kill us anyway. I'm bleeding! And that's the last thing before his brain goes into... These characters up ahead are my problem. Wait a minute. and he decides to just stop the car. He waits, you know, at a certain point, and he gets out of the car, goes back to the trunk. He will calmly, not wild-eyed, not blazing, he'll calmly walk the length of a few cars, and even as the character is busy with his arse sticking out of the backseat of some other car, he'll walk up and blow his butt cheeks right out. He won't shoot him in the head. He wants him screaming. And even as he does that, he's going to turn and go, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. But, and everybody goes, well he's gonna die. Yeah, but before they get that done, he is going to decimate them. He will in fact remember he's not going to have any compunction. He's already lost his job. His wife just talked him on the phone. His car is going to be repossessed. The IRS wants his house. The government wants to do this. They just decided to throw a bunch of other property inspections on him. And the one group of people that he didn't want to see today was some fool at a checkpoint with a bunch of other buffoons. They wanted to see his ID and he left his wallet at home. Hold still, I'll show you my ID. You say hello to my little friend. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum and he'll walk up, like I said, shoot the one on the butt cheeks, reach right around, pull his own pistol out of the holster. Bop! Right in the back shoulder. I wouldn't hit him in the head. I want him screaming. Get out of radio, start screaming. Come on, help me! You know, meanwhile, bang bang bang bang bang, just dump the magazine just for the hell of keeping everybody busy. While he's busy using his weapon for a more professional issue. It's gonna happen that way and you're not you're not gonna be anybody We know doesn't have to be in fact. Let's put it this way Let me give you the best example this and I still say I wish to God it hadn't happened the way it did the guy with the bulldozer that made the armored bulldozer Yeah, every day he went to work guys and way but here's what you heard in the shop. What was he doing? He was either cutting metal or he was grinding metal Or he was punk driving rivets. At a given day, all of a sudden, the garage door opened up and a special sound came from that garage. And Killdozer was born! So don't tell me that you don't think about this. That guy took six months to a year to build Killdozer. Guys, think about that. And it wasn't stoppable. If he had support, he wouldn't have been stopped. They'd all been dead. If he was serious about killing him, they would have all been dead. And he wasn't serious about killing him, or about destroying their property. That's why he made the dozer. Exactly. The kill dozer did its job. But the point is that there's an existing... See, when everybody goes, Mark, I just can't see it happening. Really? That guy spent six months prepping. You know, every day he probably had a few things he did. And every day he got another notice in the mail where some jerk, one of the jerks or the other jerks that are not from the community, came in from outside to steal all the Yoko locals, you know, local Yoko's property. And finally he just said, yep, that one's on the list too. Oh look, I got another notice here. Look, there's another name. She's on the list too. Now the difference is it's going to be a lot hotter, a lot faster, and a bunch of them are going to be dead in the street. And in fact, if the guy is calm, the calmer the guy is, the more destructive he will be. And there's the problem. People think it's this wild-eyed crazy blazer way stuff. Guys, I'm telling you, no. It's going to be just a reverse. In fact, if he has any experience at all, he will walk through it, wade through them, get out the other side, and he'll go, wow, that was so easy. I need to do that again. See, once this happens, and once a person does that, or he'll walk up, I'll tell you what he'll do, he'll look at the guy and the guy will say I.D., and the guy will be real arrogant, he'll be a total jackass because that's what they're telling everybody to be. The guy will keep looking at his face and he'll just keep me happenin' and tryin' to pick at the guy and pick at the guy. The only thing guys hear in his ears is his wife sayin' I'm leaving! And the IRS saying they want my stuff, and here's this jack-booted thug who's sayin' he's really puffed up. And he's looking at him, he doesn't hear what he says, and he just hands him the paperwork or whatever and he goes, well this isn't right, well that's all I got. And he keeps looking at him, looking at him, looking at him, he might even look at a name tag and see if it's real. He will figure it might not be real. But he's gonna look at that guy's face, and then he's gonna pull down the road, and he's gonna pull up on a hill, and he's just gonna watch. At about, oh, nine o'clock or ten o'clock at night. Yeah? Pizza guy. I didn't order any pizza. Nope, didn't order any pizza. But you know what? Ain't gonna ever order a pizza again. And you won't be another, they won't be another checkpoint. And the reason I say this, because I see this, this is what's boiling out there. Now if it were one person, they'd go, well that's gonna be a wild cat or that's gonna be, no, what's gonna happen is somebody else is gonna go, wow he did that but he didn't do it quite right. He's gonna go, yeah he got them and he got them but they got him. He goes, I think, I think I could do better. And so that's why they don't want to report this. That's why I remember we had that whole string of shootings and they just put that in the news and nobody went, oh my goodness, the poor people being shot, they were in the uniform. Instead everybody said, ah, big deal, they deserve it. That's why they shut up about these things. Mark, I got a question for Don about night vision. Go ahead, jump in there please. Today, I know you got illuminators and all that stuff, but today you have night vision sculpts that are full spectrum. Are you familiar with full spectrum? Full spectrum would apply to daylight that is capable of seeing infrared. Trim also can apply to something that would be like... You guys, now at the beginning of Vietnam, there was a real neat little... At the end of the Korean War to the beginning of Vietnam period, there was a real neat pair of binoculars that were like tank commanders, Italian commanders, every general who went into the field. Look at the kind of like the guy giving, you know, Mr. Burns something, a new toy. Look at these, sir, and the general who picked the... Now, they were a combination of starlight and thermal. Now, that is what one might call full-spectral. Is that where you're going with that? Well, I'm going to give you a very unlikely source, but I tried one of my... I got a camcorder's full-spectrum. that in the dark it's pitch black and you can see light. Because it picks up on the ultraviolet and the light you don't see as well as the light that is visible. The reason that happens George is because even our old VHS cameras used to be able to do that but they had filters on them and that was intentional. Whereas again, people always wonder why there's some film that we've done years ago. They're like, man that was incredibly clean. And it would pick up just like, even in twilight, it would look like we were filming in broad daylight. in Twilight. There's some film footage you've seen probably if you watch any of our YouTube videos that was actually done in conditions where most of the other cameras simply couldn't pick up the image. And that's an example of probably what you have right there. The filters have been pulled, actually in many cases what it is. Filters cost money, George. That's why they stopped putting them in. What's cute is when they do that, then they start to charge you more if they don't have the filters. Yeah, it's true. But part of it is that if this happened with a certain number of cameras, especially later in the production of the VHS stuff because 8mm digital and digital were coming in, and they just simply said, well, we don't need to make any more, we're just going to cut some costs and we'll take this out and this out. So you do get the perceived concept, you know, idea that you've got night vision. It's more sensitive. It's probably just on the edge of say, Gen 1, but still it's the ambient light that gives you the ability to do that. If you have no moon and little or no light, the collection will vary depending upon what else is out there. LED, infrared, glow from something else, just depends on what it is. Go ahead, Don, I'm sorry. Well, the other thing about, and you mentioned infrared and ultraviolet, those are different into the scale. First and second generation play a lot into infrared. Third generation senses infrared and also into the ultraviolet portion of the scale. You look at what was that phrase, multi-sensing, or what was that phrase as far as the initial question. But compared to first and second, third generation fits across the spectrum, multi-spectrum. first and second, third generation really truly is multi-spectrum infrared. If you look at it that way George.
