Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and communications on Communications Tuesday, November 29, 2011. He covered battery procurement and storage strategies, emphasizing dollar store deals on alkaline batteries and the importance of rechargeable systems and solar chargers. Koernke provided detailed guidance on radio equipment maintenance, CB radio capabilities including frequency modification techniques, and the value of older tube-based CB radios for EMP hardening. He also discussed candles and lighting as survival items, Morse code key cards for emergency communications, and encouraged listeners to donate to support the Micro Effect network. The episode included advertisements for preparedness products and ended with a segment from the Phyllis Schlafly Report on Einstein and scientific paradigm shifts.
That's Kettle Moraine 623-327-1778. That's what Jack from Michigan had to say after his experience with heart pain and what he did to treat it with heart and body extract. Heart and body extract is all natural with no negative side effects. It will help repair or correct past problems associated with the heart and body circulation. After my second bottle of heart and body extract, all problems are now gone. There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. The intelligence report, Mark and Don, every morning at 6am Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. National Rifle Association says it's not guns that kill people, it's maneuvers. You can shot down our man. The intelligence report, Mark and Don, every morning at 6am Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of the government working for them and that ain't bad. I've not yet begun to defile myself. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control for 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 solubolds they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear? Be a slave, O sons of the Republic! Arise, take a stand! Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land! Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right! To torture freedom, as Iowaw keep vanished in the midst for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. 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? Morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the morning. Intel report, I'm Mark Kortke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, southeast, northeast, and northwest. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on the Microific Network in the morning. We're also on libertytreeradio.4mg.com. We're on AM&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 to Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Chuck and Nebraska, whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the Pit and the Third. Yes, waving to all of our friends on the left coast, we then sprint across the plains. leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, the grandma teams, the OK teams, the Ma Bill, Gramma Consortium are doing their part to get the job done to ensure we have a million Peddico junctions and infrastructure. That's right, the ability to step away from the controlled Internet and have another system on standby. It is, of course, well, the 29th of November. It is the fourth year of open Fabian socialist and soviet socialist occupation of America with a k two thousand eleven by older as calendar and of course it's wet it's rainy and it is michigan fall here where i'm sitting right now for all of you there it is communications Tuesday good morning and hopefully got your cup of coffee You're half awake. Okay, maybe you're fully awake. Hopefully you're fully awake. You're gonna be fully awake by the time you leave because when you jump up behind the steering wheel there, if you're getting back in the big truck or if you're sitting behind the steering wheel of that small sedan, then lay back, relax, focus, look on down the road and step on the gas and away you go. Well, you should probably step back to the house there and grab your clothes while you're at it. Did you look down? Was that pleather seat a little cool this morning? Well chances are should put pants on the great socks and shoes by the way though anyway, it is a beautiful communications Tuesday It's wet. It's rainy. It is a fall day here in Michigan ain't no doubt about that That's exactly what you're seeing outside and it is Impressive to say the least that we have had a standard classic fall in general Leaf cover is gone the corn is in for the fields just in time and because the torrential you know the fall rains are starting to hit heavier now which means uh... you have wait for a long dry spell again and that's not going to come for a bit anyway uh... it is communications tuesday reminder what have you done to uh... check your batteries make sure that your equipment does work if you tested all of your systems this is a good day by the way to do it too uh... grab the radio rig double check to make sure everything is connected. Always check to make sure your antenna is connected, check your antenna leads, lines, make sure that the power supply is squared away. If there's anything where you have modular units more than one assembly, make sure that all the connectors are hooked up there. Maybe you were working on something, somebody may want to move something. and a wire can be disconnected or unscrewed and people are just in a hurry and they forget to put it back in place and then your load on the transceiver has no place to go and you're going to spend some money on repairs. So we don't want to see that happen. We don't want to see you losing the equipment. Always do an initial inspection if you haven't used the rig in a bit. But wet weather is a good time to test your radio equipment too guys. Propagation varies depending on where you are, what kind of bounce you have, what frequencies you're using. So in climate weather, which by the way everybody goes, if we have a nuclear war, we're going to have like, global warming, cooling, cooling, warming, freezing, winter, desert, dust, whatever. Well, whatever the conditions are. Be kind of nice and advanced to know what your probable effect will be with regard to range. That's why you want to test your equipment now and find out what it can do when you have wet weather or extreme wet weather. Wet, cold, dry, cold, the fall, remember if you have foliage, totally changes your ability to signal from the surface. But right now, your signal ability has changed dramatically because a good portion of the leaf cover, which creates a diffuser when it comes to your radio signal, well it's all gone. So the cool thing is, you've got a lot more air space up there to work with, and you'll find Typically, your personal radios are going to increase in range by probably about half a mile to two miles depending upon how big the transceiver is that you're carrying. Remember, it is a transceiver. In fact, even your little Star Trek communicator cell phones, you call them cell phones, they're not. They're two-way radios. They're a transceiver. We can call them a phone, whatever, but it's a transceiver. Maybe working off of another slave system. They have a leash up your arse because of it if it's got tracking, which all of them do. But it's still a transceiver. Just remember that. One of the things too about your little small radio units is if you can, try to find rechargeable batteries. But if not, little insurance policy, even though they may not last long, but at least they'd be better than no batteries. Right now, At the dollar stores, there's a lot of these little 12-pack showing up. Now, these came off of the industry from the last couple years of service time for production. I'm noticing in all the jobber companies, there's millions. I'm not saying hundreds of thousands. We're talking millions and millions and millions of alkali batteries that just didn't move last year. And they're up on the stock. And guess what? They want to move this stuff from this year, too. So what's happened? A lot of this stuff is going into the distress industry because it's the cheapy batteries that were used to fill in the blank. You get batteries with your electric toy. They're usually not the best, but they work. They're serviceable enough. The big thing is to make sure that you have lots and lots of extra batteries on the shelf, even if they're not the best. If they're not cutting edge, state of the art, die if you're a puridioniacin, okay, whatever, a lion battery. Oh, I'm sorry, ion battery. Well, it doesn't matter what the heck it is. As long as you have power going down range, that's a big plus. So don't forget that if you're operating or running equipment, go to the dollar store and buy $5 worth of insurance. Now, we're lucky. In our area here, like I said, they've got 12 packs. Usually they're on the bottom shelf at the dollar stores. They're not really pushing them up front. because they want to move the other batteries that are hey you know it's four for a dollar or eight for a dollar eight for a dollar for double A's but no place have I seen eight for a dollar for triple A's so far they're all four packs now the stuff is coming in so your purchasing power on that is halved On the double A's, the triple A's are coming up in smaller packages, but on the double A's, you've got to remember that's the bigger battery, to get smaller with all these little convenience toys and trinkets that are out there, they've gone to triple A for a lot of stuff. Well, double A. It is out there in glutt form for two reasons. Lack of use from one direction, lack of interest in the industry from the other. Well, you benefit right now, especially if you have all that equipment that runs off AA batteries. So scrounge around, always look up underneath, look down at the bottom of the counter. A lot of the dollar stores that are the chains have these 12 packs down at the bottom and they're kind of tucked away. I've noticed everywhere I've gone so far, they don't really want to put them up top because they've got all these other chinese-made sylvania batteries they want to move them and it gets kinda hard when you get three for one you know if you know you buy it still dollar for you know four batteries is not bad but uh... back to spring price if you look at cheap why would you buy three when you can buy twelve and even if one of the batteries out of the twelve was bad you still got eleven really good batteries hey wait a minute that makes sense that's better math that's more for less That's true. So that's something to think about. It's all China sport or Indonesia sport stuff. Anyway, it's all com block stuff or other. So don't really make any mistake there either. We know that. The point is to have a whole bunch of material on the shelf as part of an ongoing insurance package, which is what a lot of people, they don't really think about that way. Today, it's the end of the month, just about. You're going to get a bill or already got a bill. that says Blattenstein Bergman and Scheister insurance company is demanding through a government agent who has a gun to your head usually on the highway that if you don't have insurance they're willing to shoot you for it. Okay, that they're using threat of force slash up to and include big murder to demand that you pay a private company money. Okay, what do you get for that? What do you get for that insurance package today? Well, If you have it when the enforcer on the road pulls you over, he's more worried about supporting his butt buddy ring knocking Masonic insurance company agent. You know, the characters that are out there, that's really most, that's what it's all about. The enforcement arm is revenueing for a private institution, the insurance companies, and the enforcer's job is to threaten to murder you on the road if you don't have a little slip of paper. For the price of that little slip of paper they will try to murder you and they will laugh about macing you beating you shooting you whenever they're gonna do and they'll laugh about a bad life in the locker room because that that Grandma that they beat down or that grandpa that they beat down or that girl that they beat down those 16 don't laugh all about strip-searching her and ha ha ha see that's the whole point You get nothing for it, but a lot of abuse Even if you have it they'll still harass you So what do you get at the end of the month? You get another bill. What do you get back from that? Nothing. Wow, what a racket. That's a great racket, isn't it? Insurance. In other words, and if you do use the insurance, you will be punished for using it by the company that had a private company that had a public official put a gun to your head to demand that you have their little slip of paper and you hand over your digits to some private institution. Now, here's the cool thing. When you go out and spend $5 on yourself on batteries, You get a benefit that you can physically see that one way or another, number one, it's an insurance policy, but here's the thing. Don't you use those in your Walkman and your radios and in lights and in, I can go right down the shopping list. There's a million things you can use those double A batteries on. So you're really truly first person benefiting across the board and if you don't use that insurance policy right away, You can use it up progressively at your discretion, but you get a benefit from it. So how is it crazy to have that on the shelf? See, I really hate stupid people that do the, oh, what good is it to prepare? It costs money and what'll you do with the stuff when you're done? Well, if it's food, I'll eat it. If it's water, I can drink it or water the plants with it. Let's see if it's batteries or fuel. I can use the fuel in the vehicle as planned. Use the batteries for exactly what I intended to use them for. Wait a minute, this makes sense. Only an idiot, an incompetent, or a fool. would not prepare. And why would you be listening to these idiots in the competence and fools? If they're stupid enough to believe that the system is going to take care of them, well, in Soviet Russia, there's a lot of people that were serviced by the government. If you're in the cattle industry, you know what that kind of servicing means. And, yeah, the rest is history. Tens and tens of millions killed by the system that took care of their people. So, this means that for all of you out there, again, it is Communications Tuesday. Batteries are one thing, but also charging systems. Now, let me recommend something, because we've got a bunch of different companies and sponsors that are on the Micro Effect webpage. Go to themicroeffect.com, themicroeffect.com. www.themicroeffect.com. And when you get there, check out all the sponsors, you'll find that there's a number of resources available in the solar category and with several of the companies that deal in other product lines, they also have solar options. There are little cigarette pack and cigar pack size solar chargers. Now, these are really neat because, again, this is going to extend the time and life of the equipment that you are carrying, for instance, even if you're doing this out of a backpack, because you can hook up that solar panel and have it hooked to the backpack and laying flat and charging all the while you're walking. Needless to say it's not going to work at night and I don't think you get much out of the moon But you know for at least half of the day your system is charging without you having to do anything other than one activity you plug the batteries in and Let it hang and you're done Just let the Sun do the rest now of course at the end of the cycle you got a distant disconnect those batteries Hook some other batteries up to the charger but charging systems of any kind Even if they're at work off a wall system, watch the yard sales. I probably picked up I think four to six. Actually, I think I got two more just found that I just threw in a bag. They were in the freebie pile and it was battery chargers, but they're battery chargers that'll do nine volt, double A, triple A, C, and D cell. What do I want to do with those? Well, if I ever do get a gen pack up an online or generator or I can use again, solar, larger solar systems, I can even impress those into service with an inverter or whatever. Not preferably, I don't really want to have to be messing with that many components, but again, if you're worried about budget, watch for the stuff that's out there. Remember that up until the point where the power grid goes off, you better be taking advantage of it. You better be using the power grid right up until the point where it gets shut off for the last time. So any solar systems are of course on standby, but the big thing is that having chargers of any kind for the batteries that need to be recharged, you always have a bank ready to go that are online. I've got a bunch of these little 4.AA gang chargers. I've got one going typically every day and I usually trade out batteries and I just do this as a policy to bring them up to full charge to make sure they're ready to go and I'll trade those out with the solar lighting. And of course take the older batteries. Now I'm milking the life out of these batteries that are old, old anyway. These are rechargeables that most people typically would discard. They are a lifecycle for operation, it is not as long as it was. Hey, you know what they are paid for. The big thing is to balance that out and decide where it is they might be useful otherwise. Remember that if all else fails, if they won't power an LED, light. There isn't a whole lot of life left in them. I don't care if they're alkali batteries, which by the way I've got an interesting experiment going on so far these dollar store, you know 12 pack alkali batteries guys I put four of them into four of the outside solar light or night lights They're holding their own now for almost two weeks Which is pretty darn good when you figure that I'm paying what okay if there's 12 that's less than 10 cents a unit guys for each of the batteries and as an alkali battery working off of a little solar charger for trickling power back in because that's pretty cool they won't blow up those are unless you know the batteries weak for the slow long or slow range you know constant trickle charge solar cells using other batteries in a Now let's say look what's becoming more and more a low-tech situation as you lose more gear the Alkali batteries will work just fine. Don't forget that it will also power a lot of other things a little smaller LEDs or tiny LEDs for other purposes other lighting or for signaling or whatever and you can milk the last few Minutes or whatever life is left out of a battery with those LEDs were pretty much everything else are useless So, another way to do that is to cycle it through your radio, cycle it through the other equipment, and then finally mark it with a little black line or something or a pink marker or whatever you want to do so that you know these batteries are on their last legs, these now go over to the lighting. It's kind of like you're getting a couple extra ounces of oil out of every quart of lamp oil that you got. Another thing on that note too, let's not forget because this is going to be coming up, you got Thanksgiving just went past. Now usually they're kind of smart. They're not stupid the way they were, well I don't see stupid, but we're not wealthy anymore in the US so they try to combine things. But remember there's a lot of candles out there. We just got, I think, 20 or so scented candles for free because somebody was getting rid of them. Brand new. In fact, I just went over them last night, got three or four flavors. They're all beautiful candles. One of them was burning most of the evening. And the point is that there's going to be a lot of holiday stuff. You don't really care in a preparedness situation if it's red and green, or earth brown and tan for Thanksgiving, or it's a Halloween candle, black and orange. Who cares? For lighting and heating, it'll work just fine. and so watch the markdown bins and watch for the seasonal sales on stuff that other people won't be thinking about candles are survival item candles are a tool they can heat water now we're going to be a big butts and burners know they don't have to be a deja canteen cup you don't need that much heat people remember uh... all you do is he can't income not the whole room you need the whole room of the process because the calories will be lost if you do if you do right But the most important thing here is to remember that with all these sale items, again, a whole bunch of your preparedness niches or lines and line items can be eliminated simply with a little bit of eagle eye and some intelligence. And again, focusing what little resource you have in the right direction. For all of you that are filling up backpack kits, candles are a really good idea because again, pack of matches inside each of these candles. I know a lot of them are encased in glass, but you know what? If you nest them right, they'll be fine. The big thing is people understand how to use these things already. There's no teaching time. It doesn't take a whole lot of time to get everybody up to speed. The big thing is you don't necessarily want sweetie-tweetie candle scent in the middle of a battlefield situation because They're over there. Oh yeah, I know they're over there. That's not a naturally occurring smell. Not out here where we are. So that's the only thing to consider is you might want to go with unscented. A lot of those are floating around right now because a lot of people don't want scented candles. So it's innocent mix, plus they're cheaper anyway. So, if you see it laying around, grab it, don't hesitate, don't wait, just put it, make it part of your inventory real quick because you are going to need it. We are headed towards the bottom of the hour by the way and it is the end of the month. So, I will remind everybody, one more time here guys, if you go to www.themicroeffect.com, www.themicroeffect.com, www.themicroeffect.com, you will find that we have a chip in cube over in the upper right hand corner. Go to that. Donate whatever you'd like to. I really can't tell you how much to donate, but donate what you can. And then say hi to, you know, do a handshake with Joe and let him know that you're thinking about him and then get on with business. Get on with other things for the day. But www.themicroeffect.com. and then go to the chip and you scroll down just a little bit and it's on the right hand side. It's got the chromo picture. It looks like it's from 1972 with a guy's face with a microphone and you know it has all this as donate real easy. You know don't have to do not a or do no day or do nay do nay to do nay to us do nay to whatever it is. Well, it's donate. I think pretty sure I don't think it's I think just tomato tomato We are headed towards the bottom. I'm going to hear the music any moment now here, so I know we're going to be cut off, but that's not a problem. For everybody out there listening, it is Tuesday. Hold on. I'm going to make sure we grab that cup of coffee. Smell. And take a taste here. Now hold on. Be careful. A little bit. Just a little bit. Come on. Oh, yeah. There you go. Mmm combination of Ethiopian toenail roast oh yeah Ethiopian toenail clipping coffee and what's that other one there hold on a second oh oh yeah Italian espresso roast oh that's the stuff but that doesn't get you up in the morning especially since it's probably been sitting since last night and kind of like on demi perk You ever notice that it's like if you want to make the espresso you don't have to buy espresso All you have to do is just leave that coffee on that burner for a good old half day It will have that special oh my god This coffee was made at what time in the garage You ever notice that when you go to like say tire stores or you know, you know, I don't know what it's about mechanic shops Maybe it's been the air could be the oil but you never notice how it's like You get that coffee in the afternoon and it's you know, nobody changed anything up, understandable, and they wouldn't do it anyway. If you were in the back end, they're trying to keep themselves awake. So you know that really concentrated coffee that's got that kind of burn taste. Oh yeah, there you go. See that's almost like home for some people. And it is, yeah. It tastes just like the vending machine we used to get on third shift in the middle of downtown Detroit. 2 o'clock in the morning or 3 o'clock in the morning, little paper cup, you'd have to make sure you push the buttons real hard to get cream and sugar and then you'd say double sugar because you're trying to stay awake. So, here's a good sign of how it's coming up. You all grab that next cup of coffee. If you're heading out the door, you slow down and be careful because it's wet outside, a lot of places, and we got ice. Remember, we're headed into fall. Don't be surprised by what happens there. It's the first half hour break. Right, Ron. Communications Tuesday. We'll be back. There was the water and you are thirsty. But wait, outside, look! There's lots of water! And I see it. Oh my gosh!

There are just two types of people in the world. Those that see the world outside of themselves and therefore can finally estimate the direction things like the economy, the government and society is headed. and those that can't. The majority of the people in the world are absolutely clueless to the trends and manipulations that go on around our world. To them, everything is by chance and in disorder. As a result of this ignorance, these people are always caught by surprise. When governments fail, wars begin, and economies collapse. Every day, with each choice, You define which group you are in. Survivalist, Seeds, dot com. And PatriotFood.com for the rest of us. Those of us that are prepared and wide awake. listening to us on www.themicroeffect.com. That was Messiah Mountain by the way, part of a complete album that has to do with the war, Northern War of Aggression slash the Civil War, depending on which side you're on as far as the title it was used. And Apropos. the interesting thing about this is again as we've said paper music in america usually paints a picture guys which is cool and in fact it grabs the mind and forces you to you know actually try to live the experience of the uh... author if at all possible or the subject of the authors try to present to you so something to think about there is why has substance not just beat your head against the wall bouncing up and down so uh... Again, Muzziah Mountain, if you go, we've got links at the page. If you go to www.themicroeffect.com, don't forget that you can also order the music from Muzziah Mountain. We want to get it back in the studio. They've got enough music for probably two or three more albums if they put it together, but we've got to get them inside first so they can do it. Get them behind the microphone, including that fine mandolin, which I love. Also some steel guitar in there at different times and as you can hear many other traditional American instruments banjo is one of them But the mandolin yeah, somebody's got a real good set of fingers here because mandolin strings are so tiny Spains so close together and you know, its fingers are usually also big but it's amazing what a Articulate artist flesh music you can do now it is by the way something else for you to do is know don't you shut off that alarm clock Get up get out of bed. You know it's time. It's already 5 38 in the morning way out there on the left coast, and you know you got to get to work today It is a Tuesday nobody calls off on Tuesday You know what's funny is typically out of Tuesday if you call the sick You don't even you know you don't even work slip. You don't even need a doctor so it's like you're calling it a day Okay, no problem. I'll try to get here tomorrow. Oh, yeah, I will if I go or whatever But, you know, typically they figure nobody calls on Tuesday. You call it on Monday and it's like, eh, you better bring a doctor's slip. Yeah, four day weekend, eh, maybe five if you're off on Thursday. Yeah, you're sick today, eh? Well, if it was Monday, eh, you're gonna, eh, they're gonna pester you. Tuesday, it's like, really? Well, you came in yesterday. You weren't looking very good yesterday, so. Okay, well if you can't get in here tomorrow in fact we need you here tomorrow because we got a lot of what little work we have to do we got a lot of it to get done. See how that works. That's America with a K. Very little work left. Anyway, and looking worse by the minute there. It is Communications Tuesday. Quick reminder we've talked about this and we have in our wallets, everybody's got in their wallets but also haven't hooked up to all of my transceiver equipment is a key card. Now everybody goes, well I know, and a lot of guys do go, I know Mars code, I don't need a keycard. Yes you may not need a keycard because you know Mars code. But in a disaster or crisis situation, somebody else may have to take over the board there guys. Somebody else may have to take over the key. They don't have to be fast as long as they can get the message out. Now it's nice to have somebody where you can have you do a series of classes, you teach everybody code, but every once in a while people get stuck. And so having a key card right there for the uninitiated or those who are less experienced helps to reinforce. In fact, in many cases we tape them right to the radio. So they can't be lost in other words they're there or you have a slip you make a little slip pocket And you have not one but two or three why well Typically we build ours the size of a you know driver's license or credit card wallet size so that You can pick it up handle it Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep You might want to do that. You've got somebody that's a lot slower key where it's not going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Always remember that. It may take a little work, it may take a good year, as I've said before, to get there, but it isn't that difficult to do. So, number one, you need to make up those cards, but before you start cranking out a whole bunch of them, have somebody double check, and then have a third person double check, and then triple check, and then quadruple check, and then triple check all of the letters as they're keyed, as they're coded on the card. This includes numbers also. Why? Just because the person has done it for a long time doesn't mean they can't make a slip with a pan or be distracted or you know just to not be taking the job seriously a little tired and they're like yeah So instead always how you have proofreaders and have proof key operators who are gonna look at everything go okay? That's correct. That's correct. That's okay. Good That's a good. That's this is a good thing. This is something it can be accomplished One of the things to remember too and you know going back quite a few years For a period of time we had, and I've mentioned this before, we've got a person maybe coming up on the air who is one of our other techs from this project, but taking a series of the mid-range, and it depends on the board itself how easy it is to do this, but taking the mid-range CBs, we can tweak them with no linear using what are basically the off frequencies in the CB frequency range. and talk to the rest of the country. I could sit here with the modified units we've been using and I can talk to California if the person knows when to hook up. We virtually have thousands of frequencies. These are the null frequencies. They're in between everything and they're absolutely clean. They're absolutely crisp. You don't even need a linear. You don't have to blow somebody out with a million watts to try and get to where you want to go. We're talking using a standard box. out of the shipping box out of the out of the wrapper okay so uh... something to think about their dog in doing a little research you'll find if you look around there's there are there is some information on the subject It's not as common as it used to be because people aren't thinking the CBs and it's funny that the system doesn't want you to think about CBs either. It's so difficult. CBs are old. Yep, yep, they're old. That's why when you go to truck stop, there's CBs in every truck stop you go to because they're old. Those must have been around for 30 years. No, those are new models. So you don't want people to be thinking about this stuff. So again, CB is a solution. Even if you can't tweak it, remember a little duck box, the cheapest of the little black boxes out there at the truck stop. It runs anywhere from $30 to $40. They were a little cheaper for a bit there, but their prices have gone up because our dollar has gone down. In reality, you're still paying $20 a radio. It's just now you're having to pile more digits up to equal that $20 that you were paying 20 years ago or 10 years ago. The neat thing is that there's a lot of systems out there that can be tweaked and opened up. You can buy everything off the shelf. This is low tech and it's minimal special tech involved. I mean if you call special tech taking a wire nut and connecting two wires and then taping it, taking another wire nut and connecting two wires and taping it, that's your power supply to your plug-in ashtray lighter. If that's your idea of high tech, well, we're going to have to work on you a bit because it's real simple, real straightforward. The radios are so easy to use, it's ridiculous. Most everybody understands how they have to operate on them. And don't worry, with a little bit of time, you'd be learning very quickly. Learning curves pretty quick with CB, just like anything else you're using out there. It's basically another variation on the phone idea. And it's interesting that that's really what they did. They got everybody into the cell phone. So government could monitor a specific narrow band of frequencies and not have to do a whole lot of work to rat on people. Whereas on the other hand, if we had many different systems and we didn't have Hollywood doing these movies where they say, oh CB, that's old. OK, well whatever. CB radio is directly, immediately available. And whatever is working, you put it online, you plug it in. And I will point something out. CB radio is old enough. that if you were to kind of scrounge around a bit you can actually find tube CB radios. Everybody goes, what? Yeah guys, in fact, CB radio, Citizens of an Emergency Broadcasting Radio. You can go through the radio geek articles from the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, the 60s, the 70s. and the eighties right to the nineties but in the older these older are you know radio magazines you will find all kinds of advertisements for citizens band transceivers now they're not as small as that little black you know thirty dollar box I just pointed you towards they're gonna be bigger but you know what as a tube radio not anything gonna knock it down and be amazed how clear the signal is with one of those now it's gonna be bulkier but consider maybe working on one of these old mobile units and using them as a base station. The majority of the base stations we actually put together use our tube radios. They're stronger, they of course are hardened from EMP, and continue to function while this stuff is down. So that's another reason to look at the tube radios in the CB range. There's a bunch of them out there available. There's some people that collect them as antiques now or as unique collectors items. In the radio world, it's their forte, it's what their niche is. So it's not like this stuff hasn't been picked up to a degree. So you're going to have to look to see what's out there. But CB base radios in tube, There are as many out there being thrown out or thrown around as there used to be, but they are out and about. And so that's another solution by the way too. Obviously you need a base station eventually anyway. And a tube base station will talk to a digital or forgive me to a solid state system all day. Consider that. So it's not a big deal. It's not difficult to figure out what to do or how to do it. You just gotta decide what direction you want to go, get to a ham fest and have some fun. Check stuff out, you have to do a little research and then make yourself a little list of things that you need going right down the shopping list based upon what you're committed to and then reproduce it, reproduce it, reproduce it over and over again as far as, oh, I got everything on the list, oh, I'm gonna go out and do it again and make up two, three, or four systems, one or two on standby and one of them being used. Real straightforward with regard to operation. You're gonna have one and then two backups. Well it worked, it's a lot of work. No it's not. It's really not that hard, especially with older stuff because not everybody wants it. There's a lot of it laying around and brand new components to support it are virtually everywhere. It's kind of like earlier when I was talking about the AAA as opposed to the AA batteries. Hint, hint. Why do you think the AA batteries are so plentiful and piled up right now? Needless to say, they probably overestimated market share, but that's because market share is in the toilet. Nobody is sharing anything right now other than the same, well. the same life both that they're all sinking around them as they're paddling in it. Anyway, real quick before, because we're heading towards the top of the hour here, again a reminder, it is the end of the month. Yes, Mark's going to harp on this last couple days because it is almost the end of the month. Guys, Joe, need your help up there on the rocks. So if you can, 888-747-1968, that's 888-747-1968. 888. seven four seven nineteen sixty eight uh... sentiment emails say hi go to the uh... web page itself and use the chip in or you can uh... calling that eight eight eight seven four seven nineteen sixty eight donate to the micro effect dot com the micro effect the micro effect works out pretty well couple of the things here too uh... especially with regard to uh... Signal communications, since it is communications, Tuesday is don't forget signaling mirrors in your rig. I've noticed this, I asked somebody about this the other day, it's like, well, we need that for, I've got LED flashlights. Well, I hear everybody yapping about, and I understand discussions about the EMP effect, I mentioned it earlier, which of course everybody's historically familiar with, right? Well, what is that LED that's in all these lights that everybody's buying and flashlights? Well Mark, that's an LED. I said no, no, what is this LED that's light emitting diode? That diode is a solid state component. It is fully susceptible to EMP and isn't it interesting if we got everybody all into one system and everybody shut those y'all Oh my goodness. Whereas on the other hand see the mark has a lot of LEDs don't make a mistake about it We got LED lights all over the place But I also have every flashlight I can scrounge up and I grab from the dollar store. We got a great source for The old conventional flashlight light bulbs and it's the one card has ten for a dollar on it The other one, which is the new one's coming in, have five. So it tells you again, you get half as much for the same dollar, which means your dollar has been halved in value. However, either way, that's a pretty darn good price for a vacuum tube light bulb. Oh yeah, is there a vacuum? Those aren't going to be affected by EMP. Oh yeah, see so, you don't get rid of the light bulbs, you get a flashlight, even if it's all fragged and there's crushed and there's, you know, take off the parts you can, unscrew and save the lenses. Unscrew the fixture itself and save the lenses, the cap, save the light bulb, save the reflector if it's usable. Why? Because reflectors, you know the reflectors slash the focal pan has 10C2, you know the material, the alloy of whatever type flex off and eventually it doesn't reflect. Lenses, why? Well, they get scratched. They get foggy. You may have to replace them. Wouldn't it be nice to have to do that, be able to do that with something off the shelf rather than scrounging around for something or try to make something, un-improvising something because the light is more like a fog light than a flashlight. You get a drift, the lens is kind of messed up or really messed up. Other components because you might be using the same flashlights, if you're using the same model, why not save all the parts off the others that aren't broken, damaged, or whatever so that you can support the ones you still have. Wait a minute, maybe then the next one you're using doesn't get broken right away or you know, is put into the broken category because I can take one part off this, put it on this over here, bend a piece of plastic, or be some metal. Oh, look at that, she's back in place. It's that simple. So, again, parts inventory is something else to think about, but do it on the cheap. Watch for stuff that people are getting rid of. Scavenge the light bulbs, no matter what category, by the way, they're as we know because what are they doing? They're trying to push the light bulb out and push the susceptible LED or other systems into place so that when they do EMP, everybody, they to put you in the Stone Age. Well, it won't be the Stone Age completely. We have overlapping technologies and a lot of other people do too. Then, if you're really smart, you create a market niche for yourself by selling the stuff initially that you have excess, but also figuring out or knowing in advance how to make more of the same. Candles and soap are cheap and easy and fast and it's amazing the profit margin. So something to think about is, hmm, can I make candles? Do I have the tools to make candles? Can I make a lot of candles? Because people are going to really want candles down the road. Same is true with something else, lamp oil itself. And lamp oil is something that few and far between try and find pure lamp oil for any reasonable price or store in any quantity. Pretty well has been taken off the shelf in the US. There are sources you're gonna have to hunt them down, but otherwise it's gonna take time anyway Oh talking about time. We're almost to the top of the hour hold on grab that cup of coffee again with smell Oh yeah, there we go. Oh Marco, you're keeping me awake and it's Tuesday. Oh, wait a minute, it's Tuesday. Oh, that's right, you gotta get to work. Well, I'll tell you what, while you're out of the way there, don't forget to tune into your local micro station. Want to say good morning to 107.5 FM, didn't forget you. Along with many, many others out there that are rebroadcasting in a myriad of different ways. That's why we call this the microeffect.com. Also it is the 29th, it is almost, another whole day, but it's almost the end of the month. Please, if you would donate, go to www.themicroeffect.com, themicroeffect.com, themicroeffect.com. and also remember that you can go to 888-747-1968, give a call there at the office and donate so that we get it directly into the coffer and we don't have to worry about Joe losing the rest of his hair. He's kind of bull-hawk right now. It's kind of scary. I almost was doing a rooster comb but nothing's going to be playing with the finger paint moose yet. We'll see what happens. If he does, well... We'll know what age he came from. Yeah, punk rocker from the 70s. Hey, whoa late 70s early 80s dudes Yeah, don't forget when they did Mad Max. That's when you first start to see the rooster come thing in there So it's actually that old guys. It's not as new as everybody thinks Anyway, other things here before we go. Oh For our friends in mid, Michigan, we don't forget this Saturday. We have mid, Michigan General Meeting and assembly coming up That's this Saturday, mid-Michigan militia, general assembly and meeting. This is a meeting of the minds. We've got several different militia organizations. We'll have some visitors from the UP coming down. It should be pretty decent in general. For everybody, if you're going to attend, pay attention to the road. I guarantee we've got some snow up north over the bridge today. It'll be in Flores here and there. It's probably not even going to stick quite yet because it's not quite frozen out there, guys. So, when it does happen, it's going to drop in the basement, freeze real quick, lots of moisture. We're going to have some real good moisture for the season for the crop, the planting crop next year. In the meantime, the frost line, once it starts to drive in, that will determine just exactly what we've got in the way of production going. And we're pretty well calculating it right now. All the corn is in. Still got pumpkins to pick up for the goats. I haven't had a chance to do that yet So I'm gonna be busy all day No matter what once we get done doing our programming in the morning here. We are headed towards the top We got Phyllis Schlafly coming up right behind us Also, don't forget Centerfiresystems.com. Their next sale item is up and online hundred and sixty dollars for the twenty eight point five millimeter flare I don't know if anybody paid any attention to that, but lo and behold, they're out there in force. So www.centerfiresystem.com, www.centerfiresystem.com, centerfiresystems.com with an S. Anyway, when you get there, right at the front of the page, you can't miss it. And by the way, that flare launcher, rifle launcher, no FFL required. Looks like a big single barrel shotgun. Hmm, what would I could do with the empties? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, for a long long time even when they were occupied by the communists. In fact they were a thorn in their side there to a degree because they kept running rather independent and did their own thing and still do today. Last but not least, because I know we're going to hear the music, we are almost to the top here. For those of you that are tuning in a little late, let's not forget that again it is the end of the month. You all know what that means if you've been listening to the micro effect for any period of time. i hear the music although battery junction dot com battery junction dot com ww w dot battery junction dot com for many of their listening will be back god bless republic death of the new world order we shall prevail is jim the emperors of the one where the march here it's tuesday micro effect and delicious likely right behind the spotlight This is the Phyllis Schlafly Report. Mrs. Schlafly is an articulate spokesman in the media and before legislative committees on conservative and pro-family issues and was named one of the 100 most important women of the century by the Ladies' Home Journal. And now here's the president of Eagle Forum, Phyllis Schlafly. Roger Schlafly, a mathematician who was awarded his Ph.D. by the University of California at Berkeley, takes on one of our country's sacred cows when he attacks Albert Einstein. Time magazine proclaimed Einstein the greatest man of the 20th century. But Roger Schlafly debunked Einstein's inflated reputation in a new book entitled, How Einstein Ruined Physics. This book is a fascinating discussion of the history of relativity as well as of famous experiments in motion, symmetry, and revolution in science. Schlafly explains the ten crucial ideas of relativity and proves that Einstein did not discover relativity. Papers explaining relativity have been published by distinguished scientists years earlier. Nevertheless, many writers invented and perpetuated the myth that Einstein created relativity. They also claimed that Einstein did this by applying pure thought about how the world ought to be while ignoring important earlier scientific experiments. They called Einstein's method a scientific revolution or a paradigm shift. The paradigm shift is the theory that suddenly, a young, brilliant person who does not rely on scientific experiments declares that the authorities are all wrong, and he has a new theory. This anti-scientific approach caught on like acceptance of an irrational fad, even though it is contrary to common sense notions of scientific progress based on facts and experiments that can be observed and duplicated. Schlafly convincingly demolishes the portrayal of the history of science in terms of spontaneous paradigm shifts. The writers who espouse these theories about paradigm shifts usually say they are following the example of the great Albert Einstein, but Schlafly's book shows how destructive that argument is to genuine scientific progress. This has been the Phyllis Schlafly Report. Here at Eagle Forum, we continue to monitor the dangerous activities and liberal agendas of many school districts around the country. Will you help? At EagleForum.org, we've set up a forum for involved parents to share their questions, frustrations, and concerns.
