They called the border patrol and it took the border patrol two hours to finally get there and then when they went down there and backtracked through the area they discovered a lot of heavy track running to the south so obviously this person had gone in here and disrupted a drug transfer from the mules into the vehicle on Interstate 8. The next morning They went back down to that area and it's all littered with your classic drug smuggling stuff, the black jugs, the burlap bags, the camouflage clothes, the anti-tracking boots, etc. And soon after they had arrived there, two vehicles pulled off to the side of the road, a gray SUV and a white pickup truck. And later the gray SUV was identified as a Maricopa County Sheriff's vehicle. They notified us that they were tracking 30 individuals that were coming through the desert and they asked us to leave the area and pull to the east of at least four miles because they were going to not bust the people that they were there that make the transfer that they were going to surveil of them. They had a sniper team on the north side of the road. overlooking the pickup point and to get out of the area and they were going to follow them back through the desert to surveil them back up into the Phoenix area and serve warrants and take down the whole apparatus and about two days later right on the weekend they served serious warrants in through the Phoenix area and took down this Danny's family car wash that's about 13 locations and the temp service that was providing employees to them. So the next morning the excuse me I would hate to cut you off because I do want to hear the rest of this but perhaps you can call in next weekend and give us further update on this but we are two minutes past the top of the hour we've got a go and get the intelligence report up and running plan later alright god bless uh... say good night everybody this has been the militia town hall meeting here on liberty tree radio good night everybody Alison Grant and you're listening to Liberty Tree Radio.

You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt. to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You 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 to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? All right, you're listening to the Intelligence Report here on Liberty Tree Radio. I'm at the AK-47, and I think we've got Butter Knife. You have Butter Knife. We're here on Liberty Tree Radio, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com, the live 365 network, also on micro-AM and FM and CB base stations across the US. along with a myriad of other alternative networks that are out there, many numerous and various to mention. The Homark network and the Grandma network coming together to make the Golden Spike project, bringing the alternative internet to the rest of the country. And we're up and running BK, I'll let you fly with it. What do you got for us this afternoon with it being Quartermaster's Corner? Okay, it is 23 August 2013. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report and that makes this quarter masters corner. And I'm getting a little bit better at not hearing my own echo voice and actually speaking in spite of it. I sure hope Skype gets its act together in a minute or two. I understand the necessity of purging the Skype connection. But it's unfortunate that we have to do so because we had quite a mob of people on air and this evening without Mark we're going to be kind of soloing. So if any of those people are still listening and want to jump back in, I invite them to do so. I could use the company. Alright, if anybody wants to jump back in on Skype, just send me a PM text message on Skype and I'll add you to the call. Okay. So, one of the things I like to do, I can't say we like to do, I imagine Mark just kind of puts up with it, but I like to do is to touch on some of the political activities of the week, and especially with regards to the PR stuff. And what we have seen in this last week, darn it, get your back together here. is all sorts of interesting things about previous stories. That is, we have, oh that's interesting, that's improved. Suddenly it has stopped. Okay, so we've been hearing all about Bradley Manning, we've been hearing about Ed Snowden, and we've been hearing about Michael Hastings. Isn't that interesting? All of these are old stories. Well, Manning, I suppose, you could make an excuse because they did the sentencing and they gave him what they consider a moderate sentence of a measly 35 years for blowing the whistle on all of the crud that he released. They choose not to mention the fact that the data that he released was about as minimally classified as anything can be. The data network that he had access to and which he downloaded was available to literally approximately one million people. Now, if you have a sensitive subject, if you have something that needs to be kept very tightly classified, the very first rule is you limit access. You keep it to as small a number of people as possible. The key phrase is, need to know. You reveal it to those people who have some legitimate need to know it, just not everybody who meets some general measure of trustworthiness, etc. So, if you have a bunch of data that's available to literally a million people, then basically what you've got there is stuff that everybody on the planet already knows except the US population. and that is intrinsically political and his crime was not in fact aiding the enemy, whoever the enemy might be. Certainly revealing a contact report in the field from five years previously in Iraq or something is hardly aiding anybody, but his crime was embarrassing the ruling class. And that is, of course, a minor offense in a free republic and a serious offense in an empire or authoritarian or totalitarian regime. Given that he got 35 years and they considered that moderate, you can draw your own conclusions about what that was. They are also going on and on about how manning supposedly has an issue with gender. Well, okay, fine, maybe that's true, maybe that's not, but it seems to me that devoting so much airtime to a topic like that is an attempt to discredit the fellow, because after all, this is one of the last remaining biases that we, as a culture, have. We are very uptight about stuff like that. So, what else are we hearing about in the press? Well, supposedly Ed Snowden is predicting the end of the world in September from a massive asteroid crash or something along those lines. I have never heard or seen any video of Snowden saying this, but I have seen lots and lots of reports that he said that. Third parties saying, oh he said this and he said that. Well, when September comes and goes and the world doesn't end, Ed Snowden's going to sound like a fool if you believe that he said those things. But I have never seen any evidence that he actually did say those things. The phrase for that is, discreditation. Oh, maybe that's a little bit similar to the Bradley Manning thing. Okay, well, perhaps that's just a pure coincidence. The other story that we have been hearing is Michael Hastings, and they have told us that, oh, Michael Hastings, this is the reporter for Rolling Stone who's going to embarrass somebody about something or other. His Mercedes jammed up to maximum speed, kissed a tree and burst into flames and fluids, its engine a hundred yards away or a hundred feet away and so on as a raging fireball and so on and so forth. which is kind of suspicious on the face of it. Well, they're saying that Michael Hastings had a medical marijuana card and there may have been traces of methamphetamine in his system. Well, that certainly discredits him, doesn't it? Oh, wait a minute, what a coincidence. They have been releasing stories to try to discredit Manning and releasing stories to try to discredit Snowden and releasing stories to try to discredit Hastings. Oh, and each time they do one of these things, then the next story, by astonishing coincidence, is something or other, some sort of update on Nidal Hassan, the guy who shot up Fort Hood. Now, I don't know exactly what happened at Fort Hood, given the track record of the press, I'm inclined not to take at face value anything they say. It's always possible that, you know, every third Tuesday they might actually say something true, so it's entirely possible that what they've been saying about them is true, but also entirely possible that there's some spin or some distortion or some omissions or who knows what. But every time they talk about one of these three guys manning horse-noden or haystings, then the next story is Nidal Hasan, who is the boogeyman incarnate, or at least this week he is. which tends to cast an emotional flavor and a bad taste in the minds of the viewers, which can then be kind of spread temporarily because they are coincident in time to the preceding story about Manning or Snowden or Hastings. Isn't it interesting that the Fair and Balanced channel is also doing this at the same time as the Communist News Network is doing this and so on and so forth, all in synchronization and all running a very, very consistent pattern of these efforts? So, my inclination is to believe that the drums are being beaten and the soldiers are marching along in lockstep, running out the stories that they have been told to tell. What do you think, Ed? Do you have any comments or alternate perceptions on these? No, pretty much the same thing. Do we have the signal? No, no, you got here here. I just muted my end up so you weren't getting the echo. Oh, okay Yeah, it was coming from me. So I fastest way for me to fix it was to muted and don't correct it itself Okay. Well, it's okay now. Mm-hmm. Well, yeah, I'm just agreeing with you. It's pretty much Discredited as much as I can and throw a lot of discredit up there Yeah, and these are the three that have done considerable damage to the perception of goodness and virtue of the regime. Certainly, it is considered unpatriotic to in any way question spending trillions of dollars murdering tens of thousands of people in the Middle East and so on and so forth. So anybody that in any way damages that effort is smeared as an unpatriotic bad guy and anything else they can paste onto him. I'm reminded of the old saying, if you're receiving flack, you must be above the target. I suspect that these guys are above the target. They're certainly receiving plenty of flack. I'm curious about the Fort Hood shooting. I know that they He, the character, the psychiatrist, the guy who was supposed to be responsible for deciding whether or not those soldiers could handle firearms or whatnot, the one who did the shooting according to them, he went up for defense but pretty much handed everything over to the prosecution and letting it roll. Well, it certainly is weird. Everything about that is weird. Yeah, it is weird. It's not as clear as a lot of cases like, you know, 9-11 we know that charges were placed and we can see that red herrings were trotted around the country to create a paper trail and we can calculate the building falls and know that there's something wrong. It's not as cut and dried as that. Of course, you don't tend to get accidental video from cell phones on a military base, etc. But clearly something sounds funny. Well, it's just interesting from the point when it happened, because of course we covered it on LTR when it happened. up to where we're at now and you know oh well he was supposedly supposed to start his defense a few days ago and instead of starting his defense pretty much just let the prosecution run with whatever they were running with you know so he's not defending himself so we're not going to get to hear what was going through his mind or you know his head Well that was going on right. I'm gonna defend myself. Okay. It's your turn to defend yourself the defense ref Well, he did not defend himself sorry, but his defense lawyer That he has you know the appointed person pretty much just let it roll Well that that could well be a case of you know Everybody in the courtroom except the accused is all working for the same side Okay Alright, that's enough of the political stuff, but it certainly is interesting how orchestrated all of that stuff seems to be. Here's an interesting little thing that I wanted to throw out. Some of us may not be aware of this. It's been going on for a little while. If you get on the web and you try to check the Wally World site to see whether there is ammunition in stock, at your friendly neighborhood, Wally. You'll find an interesting thing. You'll find lots of listings of ammunition on their site. But whenever you enter a zip code and say, make this my store, and so on and so forth, what you will generally find is a little notation that says, no store information is available regarding the stock or inventory of this item. Well, I'm not sure why they did that. It seems a little bit silly. Maybe they just want to have lots of people visiting the store frequently because if they show up, look for ammunition, find there isn't any, maybe they'll buy something else. So, you know, perhaps that is what they're all about. People who are more adept at the mechanics of websites than I am have examined the source code of the Wally World site and web pages are vastly more complex nowadays with CSS and PHP and all that kind of good stuff than they once were. The simple plain HTML pages of yesteryear that loaded so quickly and were so easy on bandwidth that we could use a modem are long gone. All of the professional sites are all JavaScripted and everything else. Wall-E is no exception. They are all very complex. Well, a fellow who is more adept at this stuff than I am or ever planned to be examined the code on the Wally World site and what he found is that the little message that says no store information is available is actually kind of a band-aid stuck onto the site. They did not disable their whole database that reflects inventory. Instead, they just added some little feature to the web page to obscure that information so that you couldn't see it. It turns out that if you tinker around with your web browser a little bit, you can reveal that information and thereby discover whether your local Wally has this or that in inventory and save yourself some gasoline running down there if you're trying to get some, you know, of the 223 they get once in a while or the 22LR or whatever the case may be. saving gasoline and conserving time is a worthwhile endeavor. You can learn how to do this fairly easily. There is a YouTube posted. Let me find my reference to it. I wrote it down, but it's somewhere on this sheet. That will show you how to do it. And the short form is that you pull up their webpage and get to that point where you can try to see what's there. And then you open a developers tool on Internet Explorer and you find the appropriate little tag and you just sort of uncheck it and that information which is available to your web browser will become visible to your web browser. Now, I like to use tiny URLs and I'm about to give you a tiny URL. This is a tiny which will direct you to a YouTube posting which demonstrates how to do this. Okay, so if you enter into your web browser tinyurl.com that is T-I-N-Y-U-R-L dot com slash O-G-E-8-6-G-C that is Oscar Golf Echo 8-6 Golf Charlie. Then that will take you to a YouTube post which demonstrates step-by-step how you can fiddle around with your Internet Explorer web page and reveal that information. I have tested it myself. It works. And as a result, I can actually see what's in stock and what's not in stock in my local lolly. What's more, once you've done that onto a given page, you hit the little link saying show nearby stores and you can find out which nearby stores. out to something like 50 miles, I guess, actually have inventory of various items. That will not change the fact that you're probably going to have to get there at 7 a.m. to actually get any of it. I had a little incident a while back where I was standing there at the ammo counter at 7 a.m. when the clerk walked up and started unpacking and setting up his drawer. Another fellow walks up and says, I was here first. Like, I guess he'd been there half an hour before wandered off and came back and the clerk gave him all the goodies and said, well, that's just tough. I was more than a little unhappy about that. On the other hand, maybe that customer and the clerk had some sort of side arrangement, but whatever the case may be, you probably will have to be there at 7 a.m. if you want to get any of the scarce goodies. because I imagine there's probably some collusion going on allocating through informal mechanisms who gets what. But with this trick you can at least use the web page at 6am or what have you to try to figure out what's in stock at your store and whether it's worth burning any gasoline and nip down there and try to get it. Okay, so one more time that is tinyurl.com slash oge That is OscarGolfEcho86GolfCharlie. If you enter that tiny URL code, you will see a YouTube video which will show you step by step how to fiddle around with your web browser and display that inventory data that is otherwise concealed from you. Comments, questions, etc. Do we have any colors and so on. Callers, if you want to come up, Star Six, tell mute. Crickets. Okay. Not a whole lot of questions. It doesn't seem like BK. Well, we don't have a lot of our friends online. We shouldn't have chased them off, but I understand the necessity to do so. Alright. Let's see, what else do we want to do? I will remind people once again, and this is going to sound like old BK being a broken record, But if you take a look at GunPartsCorp.com, you can still buy the M61 gas mask filters by the caseload. There's 45 in a case. A case is a very thin plywood box about the size of a footlocker. And for $150, they will sell you a case of 45 of these guys. There will be a little bit of shipping, so probably figure 170, 180 by the time you're done. If you have the Fin M61 masks, which is also known as the USM9 masks, or if you have any of the Canadian C2 or C3s, those all use the 60 millimeter ring and 60 millimeter filter. and this is the appropriate filter for those masks. As soon as Gun Parts Corp goes out of stock on these things, and at some point they will, you will have effectively seen a doubling of the cost of those filters. Right now, they are offering to you at effectively $4 a piece. The next cheapest places I see are $7 and $8 a piece, and they go up rapidly from there. When Gun Parts Corp. is no longer anchoring the low ends of the price curve, then you can expect not only will the guys that are already higher stay higher, they will probably go higher yet than what they are. Because if I'm offering something at $10 and somebody else is offering it at $6, well, When they go out of the business of offering it at 6, then I'm suddenly the low-cost vendor. I may nudge things up to 12 or 13 or 14 or whatnot. If I'm a merchant, that's the way merchants operate. So, anybody who has those masks is well advised to pounce on a case of those while they're available. We have no idea how many they have. We have no idea when they're going to go out of stock. They're not going to give us any warning before they go out of stock. It's just going to happen. They're going to sell the last one and then that's it. The website will change and they'll say, oh, sold out, sorry, oh, gone. They have already sold out all their masks. and therefore they have however many filters they've got and that's that. They have no commitment to get more. There may not be any more for them to get. Grab that if you have that mask or similar masks. If you don't, do not complain to good old BK later on that you don't have adequate filters for that guy because we've been badgering you. for literally two or three years on this issue to grab those while you can. Again, comments? It doesn't look like a BK. Alright, well I've gotten spoiled, you know, when Mark is on, you know, I have a hard time getting a word in edgewise and now I get to make these little speeches and, you know, when I get done with a topic then I hear crickets. Alright. So, let's hear another one. The detox mix that has been discussed here a number of times, it's posted on your website. What is that? 4mg.com? It's on the Liberty Tree Radio Yahoo group. It's also on pbn.4mg.com and in a couple other locations that I can't recall right now. Okay, well, at any rate, that uses a number of ingredients. It uses alcohol of some sort, you know, an ethanol mix. It uses a lot of peppers and red pepper. It uses colloidal silver or possibly an ionic mix. Don't get me started on the whole use of the word ionic. But it has one ingredient that a lot of people are having some difficulty getting, and that is mergum. spelled M-Y-R-R-H, dumb, is one of the main ingredients in that. A number of people have had some difficulty getting it. That is available in my area and many areas from an outfit called Whole Foods. It's a very expensive grocery store chain, specializes primarily in organics and reduced or absent bad ingredients like African corn syrup and the aspartame and so on. They do what they can to try to sell cleaner and less toxic food. It doesn't mean they do a 100% job. They certainly are expensive. They have to order that for you. They can. When you get it, it comes in a foil package with a brand on it and it is Frontier brand. Now, what's interesting about that is that Frontier brand provides a lot of different spices and herbs and things of this sort. This mergum, which means that lots of places that carry Frontier brand or can order it, can just as easily order the mergum for you as pepper and cloves and other spices and so on that Frontier carries. So, if you do a Google search for frontier and herbs or frontier and spices or something along those lines, if you find a vendor that's available in your area, whether it's a brick and mortar store, a health food store, alternative foods, spices, what have you, who knows, maybe a restaurant supply for all you know. If you can find a vendor that handles the frontier line, They can get mergum for you even if they've never heard of the stuff because it is in that catalog and is available to them. They can certainly order anything from a vendor that they deal with. So, Frontier brand is an available source for Mir gum and therefore if you do a little bit of detective work, even if there isn't a Whole Foods in your area or if you have an issue with them or what have you, if you can find either a local or mail or web order outfit that deals with Frontier, they can take care of that requirement. So, there's no reason for people to feel that it is impossible to lay their hands on mergum because Frontier is the source for whole foods and they've provided it. That's where I got some for my own use. And I have found when rummaging through the pantry that there are many other things that I did not get from Whole Foods that are from Frontier. So obviously there are other distribution channels, local food co-ops, whatever the case may be. So look for Frontier spices or herbs or whatever the case is. Anybody that you find that handles their line can get the mergum for you, though they may have to order it. Uh huh, comments? That sounds pretty good, but something to remember is that it calls for Mergrum powder. If you can't get it in the powdered form, you can dehydrate it and grind it into powder yourself. I'm sure you can. This does come in powder. This is the form that I purchased through a local Whole Foods. and it comes in a silver package and it is powdered already so you know it's entirely suitable for the purpose. Okay just make a chair. Oh sorry squeaky chair. Oh no not a squeaky chair. Oh yeah I messed up the chair I had out here to replace it so I had to bring the squeaky chair back. Oh fun. Ah well you got a pot of grease somewhere. Yeah, but not that I'd want to use on this chair. Alright. Maybe if it was automotive parts. Excuse me? Maybe if it was automotive parts, you know. I didn't worry about dripping on the floor. Why? Are the mating surfaces plastic or something along those lines? No, just the grease that I got is oily, old, and wood leaf stains on anything underneath it. Oh, you just have to get some fresh grease. I've got some old bearing grease that has turned absolutely black and a little bit rubbery. I use it on a blow-molded composting bin. It's got a sliding hatch that does not like the slide. You have to hammer it to get it to open and close. But, you know, use a spatula and slobber that stuff on there. It's adequate to that purpose and it's not really suitable for anything more demanding. There's always ages for the most degraded stuff. And go out and get a fresh tub of grease for the stuff that matters. Nice clear golden color is good. If it's turning all black then it's oxidized on you. Yep. Boy, real quick I want to say thank you. I know we talked about grafting last week. trees and somebody sent me a book of a copy of the book that we were talking about on air. I don't have it sitting out here in front of me because they ordered me a damaged copy. I've got the spine glued and taped and letting it dry right now. So it was the spine wasn't badly damaged but it was easily repairable. So I gotta say thank you to whoever sent that to me because there was no return address was to myself and I didn't order it. So somebody sent you a repairable. That's one of the things that has surprised me when I've ordered used books is that I've had some exposure to the comic book collecting market and those guys are so fussy it is astonishing. You look at things and they say, oh there's a little bit of white mark around where the staple went in. I'm going to take points off for that, blah, blah, blah. And then you deal with the used book people. And if they aren't missing whole chapters, they consider that pretty good. So, you know, their standards are wildly different. I have bought electronics textbooks and I go through them and it's marked as a, you know, good condition and so forth. And, you know, you look in the fine print, good means, well, there isn't too much scribbling in there and there aren't too many folded over pages and it's not too mashed up. And it doesn't look like maybe it's been run over by a truck, is used by a student. And they consider that good. So it is quite remarkable how they grade those things nowadays. This one was fairly honest about the description because the description did come with it of the product that the spine was ripped and as far as I can tell that's all that was wrong with it. Other than that it's a brand new book. It doesn't even look like anybody ever cracked it open and read it. Okay, so it sounds like maybe it was damaged in shipping or something along those lines? Yeah, that's what it looks like to me. Like, they ripped open the package, and in the process of ripping open the package, they ripped the cover. Okay, cool. Yeah, but you look at the regular codes from the sellers, not necessarily describing a particular item, but saying, well, excellent means this and good means that and fair means something else, and you figure, man, fair is probably barely readable. They have funny ideas about how that stuff works. But once you learn their system, I guess it's consistent, but it is remarkable how how much variation there is from one market to the next. You'll see people looking at a car in an auto show and they're poking around looking for, oh my, there's a bug split on the windshield. This is the end of the world. And then the booksellers mark something as good, and good means things like ink in it and so forth. So quite remarkable. OK, another editorial comment. Mark has gone on about this endlessly and if I said this in his presence I would get two sentences in and he would spend five minutes on the topic. When you are in the field, when you are in combat, he said, well, you know, I will take the food out of my enemy's mouth, I will strip the bodies, I will take the weapons, I will take the ammunition, I will take every piece of gear all the way down to the underwear if it's not too soiled and probably even then, you know, so on and so forth. He's absolutely correct. When you are in combat, you do not waste resources. We may stop stop at certain things just as a matter of aesthetics. We may not eat the enemy bodies. We may say, well, okay, it's our privilege to waste meat and calories in that fashion. But anything short of that, if they have a dog leash in their pocket for some crazy reason, you take it. If they have boots, you take them. If they have underwear, you know, if they're wearing it, you take it. You strip everything. If you can't carry all of it, then you wad it up, carry it a few hundred yards, and cash it somewhere to come back later. You collect absolutely every last scrap of material for your use. You're going to need it somewhere along the line. Well, there are parallels to that in our less intense current situation. One of our friends is going to get a little bit mad at me for saying this, but that's okay. When you are in physical combat, you take their ammo. When you are in economic combat, you take what you can. and there's no difference in my mind between scavenging on the battlefield and scavenging economically. For instance, you know, you might pull containers out of the recycle bin and put them in service. Well, there's some corporation that thinks that they're entitled to one thousandth of a penny for the material that value of that container. Tough. You know, you're scavenging it, you're getting it, you're putting it to use you're doing a worthwhile thing. When the economic warfare gets close enough to us that we lose our jobs, for instance, I've been in discussions with people and they said, oh, I would never take unemployment, it's becoming a surf of the system and so on and so forth. My attitude is that that is exactly the same thing as stripping the bodies. Maybe you paid for that ammunition, maybe you didn't, but you're going to strip the bodies and you're going to take it anyway. You paid unemployment insurance on every paycheck that you ever earned in your life, and most of us never claimed a penny from that system, or if we did, it's a tiny fraction of what we put in. When it comes to be your time and they knock out your job, you take it. That's my advice. You paid for it, they took it out of you, it's going to vanish, you may as well collect it while you can. Keep looking for other work, whether it's an official job or not, but it is just as silly, in my opinion, to leave that money lying on the table as it is to leave ammunition on an enemy corpse. It's a different field of engagement but is exactly the same mechanism. You paid for it, it's going to vanish. The way the unemployment system works, it has been revamped a bit in recent years. But traditionally it was very archaic. They would say that, oh, you have a certain amount in your account. that's based on the amount of time you've been working, what you've been putting in and so on. But if you did not claim it immediately, it vanished. So it's not really in your account, rather based on which quarters you worked and how much of them you worked, you are eligible for this and that, you know, amount for this and that number of weeks and so on and so forth. If you don't claim a particular week, you can't claim that week later on. It just goes away. So, the longer you sit around saying, oh well, it is an offense to my pride to take a handout from the enemy. Well, I understand that point of view. I actually used to take that approach, too. But, I think it's a little bit silly and I think it's making a mistake. It is volunteering to go hungry instead of stealing the MRE off the corpse of your enemy. So, my advice is swallow or displace your pride. See it as exactly what it is. You are scavenging resources from the battlefield that may be an economic battlefield for now, rather than an actual ballistic piece of metal flying around the battlefield. But it is a battlefield nonetheless. What's at stake is your survival, your family's well-being, and so on. If you want to take that check and refuse to use it for your own purposes, then spend it all on ammunition and put it someplace for patriot use or medical supplies or roofing nails if you want. You can use it for assisting the neighbors when the next tornado comes through. You know, you buy something that's going to be of use. If you don't want to use it yourself, that's fine. You can do something else with it, but do something worthwhile with it. Don't just let it sit on the table. It's not like it's going to hurt the enemy if you turn your nose up bad. It doesn't hurt them at all. Their goal is to try to make you dependent. It's your task Do not let them make you dependent. That's a mental process that's within your domain. That's your task. I don't know how to tell you any tips on how to do that better. But like I said, if you want to spend it all on ammunition or medical supplies or something along those lines, you can do it. That's fine, but don't waste the resource. Don't just leave it on the table. Apply, fill out the forms, take the money, do something with it. It is silly to suffer just out of pride. Comments? I'm in full agreement with you on that. You paid into the system and they're trying to steal it from you. Why are you not going to get what you can from it, you know, before they steal everything that they can? You know they're going to shut you down as much as they can. You know that there's going to be a crunch. Even if you just put it into a storeable food and so forth, even if you say, well, I refuse to benefit from this directly, fine. You know, you've got a storeable food you can use as alms for the poor if you need to or to assist the Patriot effort or whatever the case may be, but you know, don't waste it. It's just It's silly. It's a misplaced pride. I understand where people are coming from. Certainly it has the taint of the vampire's hand on it. They don't offer it out of kindness. They offer it as a means of seducing people away from finding new work, as a means of making people dependent, and so on. But nonetheless, use their resources against them. So, okay, I want to remind people that in June and July the winter wheat harvest came in. So by now, this is August, the silos should be reasonably well stocked. If you do not have a stock of bulk wheat, now is the time to go look. The cost Buying it from a silo operator, a farmer's cooperative, a feed mill, whatever sort of vendor you have available to you is nothing compared to the cost of the processed product or even unprocessed product at a retailer. You can go to a frou frou food store like a old foods or something and you will pay two or three dollars a pound for wheat berries. You go to a feed mill and you're not getting organic. Make sure that you avoid the seed stock because that's coated and treated with various things. You want the feed stock, the stuff that would be fed to animals. But rather than paying two or three dollars a pound, you are going to pay something on the order of eleven to twelve dollars for fifty pounds. Okay, there is a big difference between $2 or $3 a pound and $11 or $12 for 50 pounds. There are lots of ways you can store that. One of my favorites in small quantities is the gallon glass jar with a screw on lid. In larger quantities I have been known to use the infamous pop bottle that is stuff that you scrounge out of the recycle bins, wash it all out thoroughly, soak it in a disinfectant solution of some sort. There's no toning what it's been exposed to in the bins. And you can store wheat in there. There are lots of other ways you can do it. There are people who are fans of the Mylar bag, that's cool. You can obtain very large Mylar bags for $10 to $12 a piece that will fit inside a 55 gallon drum. You can get much smaller ones that fit inside a 5 gallon pail. Whatever sort of system you want to use for storing it. A pound of wheat bought from the silo is a bargain compared to that same pound of wheat bought from a retailer. This time of year, the red winter wheat, which is the best storing variety, all of them are worthwhile, but the hard red winter wheat is the best storing variety, should be well represented in the silos. And going cost, last I looked, was $11 to $12. per bushel and a bushel is 60 pounds. So in one place they may quote $11 for 50 pounds, somewhere else they may quote $12.50 for a bushel. That's pretty much the same price. But that's the order of magnitude. You're paying a little bit over 20 cents a pound from the feed mills. You're paying two or three dollars a pound at the retailers. It is silly to deal with the retailers. deal with the mill and they will consider one or two bushels to be a small order if you take your pickup truck or your van in there and get 10 or 15 bushels. The thing will ride a little low on the suspension but you will have rolled away with a useful amount of that material. The wheat is good for grinding for direct use in baked goods even You know, the venerable flapjack is the quick way of processing that into something edible. You can sprout them for wheatgrass juice. You can sprout them and use them directly in salads. You can, you know, do any number of things. But having the wheat on hand is of value. And this is the time of year when it is best to do that. So, comments or questions on that one. nothing on my end other than it's a good idea you know you doubt you more than double your sprouts values your When you sprout something the food value goes up like 10-4. Right, well yeah the nutritional value generally people say oh the nutritional value is increased by X percent. Well, yeah, I have a little bit of problem with blanket statements like that because there's no such thing as a nutritional value. There's no one number. Well not just the nutritional value, but the link to the food if you sprout the stuff you're not using as much to feed yourself? Well, the point is that you're changing the nature of the material. If you grind the wheat and use it directly in baked goods it is mostly carbohydrates and a little bit of proteins. If you sprout it, the plant is using up the carbohydrates it's converting it more into protein, some cellulose which doesn't do you a lot of good It is generating enzymes which do a lot of good for you. It will produce some vitamins that are of benefit. Depending on the soil it's in when you sprout it, it may or may not pull up minerals. It does not store the minerals in the seed grain, but it may pull some in out of the soil. So, you know, the carbs go down and a lot of the other things come up and as a result you are changing the nature of the food stuff. and a lot of the things that you are producing when you sprout it are beneficial to you. So I would say consume it in both forms. Don't go, you know, all one or all the other. Do both things, you know, sprout it and put it in a salad or juice it and also make baked goods. So, you know, both things are available but both of them require that you actually have the wheat on hand and now is an excellent time to go visit your feed mill because now is The time that they've gotten that crop in and it hasn't all been drained down feeding the system just yet, it's only been in for a month or two and is available. So, in the last couple of programs when Joe has been on, he has made the point that now is the time to pre-order garlic for planting in the fall. He's absolutely correct. The seed vendors are still not shipping garlic bulbs yet. In general, they will ship them around September. If you wait until September, there will not be any available for you. They are pre-selling right now. and you put in your order and you pay for it and so forth and in September they will ship it. They report that some varieties are already selling out that production is not going to meet demand that a lot of people are going to miss out. If you want to get some, get some now. Place your orders. There are a couple of vendors I have dealt with. I have dealt with GrowOrganic.com. They are in the Pacific Northwest. They're a, you know, a fair sized outfit. They seem to do a good job of things. I just last night planted and placed an order with territorialseed.com and they seem, they also are in the Pacific Northwest and they seem to have their act together. They actually shipped my order, not the garlic, but some other items today. So that's only one day of turnaround. They processed the order and out the door. So that's pretty good. I'm quite pleased. If you take a look at their sites, you will see that they have different offerings in terms of garlic varieties. There is hard and soft stem garlic available. The soft stem stores better. There are a number of different varieties. Some of them are more mild. Some of them are very, very hot and spicy. I imagine the hot and spicy stuff is what you're looking for. The varieties are also marked early, mid or late season. What that means is that you plant them in the fall and the bulbs are ready for harvest at varying times. Anywhere from very early in the spring, like March maybe, all the way out to late summer depending on the variety. So take a look through what they list. My advice would be to choose two or three varieties. Probably one very early and one very late, and maybe one in the middle of summer. Both because they have different stirring and flavor characteristics. They may have different pest vulnerabilities as well, the garlic tends to be pretty pest resistant. You are covering your bases, you are spreading out your risk. and you are also choosing different harvesting times so that you can harvest some, run down, use it up, and about the time you're using it up you've got another harvest coming along because the other patch that's a different variety is now ready. So take a look at those catalogs, those two that I named, or I'm sure there are many others available. Choose at least two varieties is my advice. Three might be a good idea. They all have advice on how to plant them, how deep, what spacing to use, etc. Get that in. Remember that garlic has considerable medical use. There's also one of the ingredients. You might actually put some of your homemade garlic in there if you're mixing up a batch at that time. Now is the time to order because if you wait until September when they're actually shipping, they will be sold out. So, I think we are out of time. We are. We're a minute past the top of the hour. I was just waiting for you to take a breath so I could bump in and let you know. Alrighty. Alright, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. We are on the march. The Empire is on the march. Yeah, the Empire is on the run. We are on the march, both day and night. Alright. Thank you, BK. You're welcome.
