You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. not to hunt, it's 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 gonna beat you. We're gonna vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. Well I didn't understand. A figure walking 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've 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 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? to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 to 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? Alright, good evening ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Intelligence Report. In the afternoon it's Quartermaster's Corner with Mark and Butterknife. Mark will be here shortly, but I'm pretty sure we got BK. Yeah, you have BK. And we have an Echo. Haha, darn Skype. It's probably more or less me because I'm using an open mic on my side of the board. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you went away now. Yes, I did. There we go. Good. Well, BK. I'd hate to leave you, but I'm going to go make sure I got Dad moving in this direction, so I will leave it to you. Do you drag him away from the dinner table? Is that the game? I'm not sure if it's the dinner table or the bed, so go find out which one it is. Give him a kick. Alright, it is Friday evening. It is 30 August 2013. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the Intelligence Report. and it has been a blazing hot and actually fairly dry week for us strangely enough. We have not had very much of that. We have actually not even had a great deal of the hot and steamy that we're accustomed to in this area during the summer. Normally all of August is just a steam bath. So, the corporate press is going on, oh it's so hot, it's so dry, we're going to have a bad crop, blah blah, yapity yap. Well, I don't know about that. Considering that the corn is taller than humans, when I drive through the the bottomlands nearby me. I don't think there's very much that can happen to the crop at this point. It's pretty much there. Mark has been reporting that it should be a bumper up north in his area. I think it's probably going to be pretty decent down here as well. In fact, just a few weeks ago, it seemed to me that everything was disproportionately cool. I was wondering if we were going to get a really early winter, but it doesn't feel like it right now. This might be Indian summer or Indian heatwave or whatever the case may be. It has certainly been a cooker. I don't mind the heat going away. I have to use the garden hose for the first time in quite a while to keep things from just drying out totally. But we shall see. As always, things progress and we do not get a straight story from anything that comes over the television or typically over the radio. The Yammer on the press this week is pretty clear. If anybody has actually turned on a television or a radio, they've probably been hearing it. It's all Syria all day. They've been going on and on and on about, oh, Assad the evil monster has been using chemical weapons against his own people, his own people, and they keep reciting that phrase, his own people, and therefore we have to attack Syria and yeah, but yeah. Well, I have a few things to say about that. Suppose what they said is true. I don't believe it for a second, but suppose what they've been saying is true. He used chemical weapons against his own people. Well, if you look at all the chemical weapons treaties that have been signed, what they basically say is you're not allowed to use chemical weapons against other people's armies. But you are allowed to use them against your own people. You are allowed to do anything you want to your own people because they are the cattle that you own outright anyway. And you can do anything you please. You can beat them up, you can throw them in cages, you can create a so-called justice system that is the joke of anybody with a conscience. You can do all kinds of things to your own people because they are your own cattle and you can abuse your own cattle. Do we have Mark there? Yes, we do. All right, here, go ahead. Okay, very good. Let me rant. Okay, good. That is steam going. All right, so first off, they say, well, we have to intervene militarily because he's abusing his own people. Well, the whole phrase is deceptive. The structure of the treaties is that you can abuse your own people because you're the ruler and they're the property and that's that. The second thing I would point out is that that's exactly the same thing that those buggers did in Waco. And they aren't saying, well, gee, Russia should have invaded us for abusing all those people in Waco and sending in, well, it was supposedly just CS and CN, but they mixed it in with a carrier that was, you know, volatile as basically they sent in what was practically a fuel-air mixture. You know in and said no golly there's a fire under how that happened those evil buggers must have set themselves on fire you know they do that a lot you know every everybody knows somebody in the neighborhood that runs around setting themselves on fire right. So, if that's evil for Syria to do it, it was evil for the feds to do it, and certainly somebody would have been well justified in, say, invading Hawaii and grabbing it because of what was done in Waco. And the third thing is, I don't believe it for a minute, Assad has been yelling at the UN, get chemical weapons inspectors into the country because he hasn't been doing this stuff and he wants them to find the evidence. Now what we usually find out after fact is that the evidence in these cases doesn't have to be very subtle. They'll find expended casings and they'll have country of origin markings on the freaking things. This is not rocket science. There will be contaminants in the mixture. You could probably figure out exactly which plant something came from. There are witnesses all over the place and all you have to do is find the witnesses and figure out which one's telling the truth. These things are not very difficult. He's been yelling for UN weapons inspectors to come in and inspect. The day they arrive, the strike happens. Well, I don't know who all is accusing them. They're accusing them of being an evil guy, but even the corporate press here isn't accusing them of being stupid. And surely the stupidest thing anybody could imagine. And then supposedly if he's behind all this, then why did he hit a bunch of non-combatants instead of a bunch of the guys that are causing him problems? The guys carrying the machine guns and stuff. So, if you're going to use those weapons and get in trouble, a lot of static for it, the least thing you're going to do is you're going to choose a high value target. You're going to hit somebody that's actually causing you problems. You don't hit a bunch of women and children and then invite the press in to take a look at the aftermath. So the whole thing is just completely stupid. It's not stupid. It's evil. It's dishonest. It's a thin pretext. for invasion or bombardment or something, some sort of theft of resources, etc. But it is designed for a stupid or stuporous population that cannot put together two or three facts and come up with a conclusion. So that is what passes for political news this week. Questions or comments? Oh, I just, as far as the incident itself goes, my attitude is like, with 9-11, you've got a third party, the kosher mafia, wouldn't take a, it doesn't take an army to do this. It takes a handful of people, literally, a handful of people to execute an action like this and point the finger at someone else. And that's exactly what they did. In fact, the timing is everything, like we're supposed to be so stinking stupid. that we wouldn't look at this properly. I know there's a bunch of people that are Prozac prodigies but most everybody else has got any gray matter attached. You can see the writing on the wall in this nonsense. The other interesting thing as I pointed out is how they're desperately trying to crop all the imagery that they can to give you that Russian Warsaw Pact slash the Warsaw Pact memory block. Syria is like Iraq and most other middle eastern countries. Russian support certainly has been there but you got to remember that these countries in the last 20 years, okay, this isn't 1973, they have to desperately block, crop and limit imagery because there's as much American equipment in each of these countries as there is old Warsaw Pact. It doesn't mean it's outdated equipment, none of it is, but it's the idea that the us-them imagery is incorporated into the conditioning from the Cold War period. Well besides, even if stuff is old, I don't want to be downrange of an NCT44. And what's more, if I've got ammo for it, I wouldn't mind having one. So, you know, it still works. Yeah, there's nothing outdated that's on the battlefield, but there's a lot of other equipment out there that is modern. that is american and they're trying not to show that i can see the syrian of the syrian army standard uniform is woodland camouflage not maybe italian vegetata or cc e other buying it from a number of sources could be by for the chinese get the exact copy whatever we made and or they're buying our junk our surplus they were getting it remember I'll jog everybody's memory. If you're a Marine and you were in Desert Dust 1, might recall that it was the Syrian Army that invaded Iraq to your side when everybody went in. and it was the Syrian military provided with, oh read all those articles from back there in the day and even with Desert Dust 2, the adventure continues. There were all kinds of gifts and agreements and cooperation taking place. Well what does that mean? That means your text hours are handed out. Well if Syria was one of the places they were renditioning people to. Exactly. And they were playing games with the vampires as he's what, that shows everybody what happens when you deal with the vampires. They will stab you in the back. But probably they're taking the wrong lesson. They're probably thinking that that's what happens when you deal with the Americans. Well, that would be a slight misidentification of the problem. It's not the Americans that are being treacherous. It's the Americans or anybody else who's under vampire control who is treacherous. But yeah. Exactly. And one of the things here too is, as should be pointed out, they've got a lot of evidence in hand about exactly what transpired. And I believe that is one of the several reasons they know who's buried where, they know who stole what, and that means they're witnesses because they were a primary conduit at one point. And that is not old, old history. That's fairly modern history. And the enormous amount of this stuff is open secrets. Any time you get into the archaeology of these things after the fact, you find out, you keep encountering the phrase, well, everybody knows this and everybody knows that. And it turns out that there's stuff all over the place that everybody knows except the stupid American population. That's where Manning got out in trouble. The stuff that he downloaded and released. The more secret something is, the fewer people have access to it. That is intrinsic. That has been the case at least since Babylon. What Manning downloaded was accessible to literally about one million people. When something is classified but freely accessible to one million people, There's only one group on the planet that doesn't know about it and that's the US public with their supposedly free press and blah blah blah. Go ahead, sorry. Oh no, the biggest problem we've got now is that these characters have become so arrogant and in your face. This is why we're in the fight for our life. The kleptomaniacs that are sycophants They are neurotic to the, you know, to the nth degree. That's the most disgusting part about being around them. It's like, I'm constantly angsting. And then of course you're supposed to feel bad so that when you all start feeling bad and you know, the sympathy thing, they immediately feel that sharp pain between your shoulder blades when they backstab you. And yeah, you deserve it because you were stupid and listened to me. But now I'm angsting again for the next victim. And that's what we're seeing across the board with every aspect of what we're dealing with here. These characters are kleptos. There's so many variations of what we're seeing in terms of thievery, chicanery, and skullduggery that, you know, and ad nauseam. Too many variations and descriptions that are appropriate, but still not low enough describing the filth that we're dealing with. Well, the thing that's weird about it, too, is that the, how do I phrase this politely, subculture will say that dominates this crowd is the psychologist use the term self-hating and it's true they don't even respect themselves they see these behaviors in themselves and they can't rationalize it but they keep doing it so you know who's sick well the next thing to watch here and again it's not just the overseas thing this is one of the reasons logistics is especially critical we We're seeing a series of training exercises that well whenever the government does training exercises nowadays it usually means foreign government slash foreign international attack on America The Boston Marathon the Miami coach stating uncategorically he heard over the PA We're having a training exercise Homeland Security and Boston security are having a training exercise Well, when you hear that then don't be there So, yeah, leave. The only thing you do if you want to have a clean conscience, you can do this once. Turn to the people left and right, say, it's time to leave now. You need to leave now. But it's like the Sodom and Gomorrah thing. You don't wait there until the salt mine shows up, kids. In other words, everybody becomes salt blocks. Or turn to brimstone, take your pick. The idea is turn and leave. get out of the epicenter. Don't worry about leading that horse to water. If they're so stinking stupid that they can't do the math, you're clean conscience, you get away from the situation. But here's the thing. We now have, as we know, a series of exercises talking about an energy failure, power failure, grid failure. Well, that's like 9-11. We never thought about anybody attacking buildings with ram attack aircraft, but we were having a training exercise that day which created all the confusion because we were practicing for a ram attack aircraft event. Yeah, it was more, less than a year previously, the concept had been aired on open television. and was put out there as bait was put out there in everybody's minds. In fact, I'll go back to the original design of all these super skyscrapers. The biggest fear was reinforced that what if a plane hits the World Trade Center? What if a plane hits the Eisenhower Tower? What if a plane hits the... go right down the shopping list. and they resurrected the images of the DC-3 stuck in the side of the world, you know, the Empire State Building. B29 I think it was. Yeah, well that was another one. No, there was more than one plane. The B-33 also? Well, the B-29 is the B-25. That was the Mitchell. That's stuck in the side, yeah, same thing. But you know, the whole point is they had different planes and they've had incidents, but did you see a skyscraper fall? Well, they made them better back then. Yeah, they made them bigger and the planes were smaller too. My point is that because they put this hype into place, they spent millions of dollars demonstrating the survivability of the buildings against aircraft collision 40 years ago. This is the year 2013. Remember back when 9-11 took place, go back to the 60s and if you're old enough you might recall there's an image, and I'll point this out, they used to show this in some ads. They used to have the guy with the Thompson. He would, you know, you're standing on the ground, they used 45 tracers and he's shooting at a Lexan Sabre Jets canopy and the bullets are bouncing right off on an angle, right? Then the other shot was this, you know, it was at 707 and it was grid marked black and white. And it smacks right into this building and just, you know, BLOOM! And it's all in slo-mo because it was all being filmed for this research group, for this requirement for the, it was for the World Trade Center. And they had to build so many stories and they had, they sacrificed to 707, which was not an old plane back in those days, guys. And that imagery is, I remember it like it was yesterday, it used to be on television, CBS, NBC, it was part of an ad block, you know, about information and United Laboratories and this and that and the other, but in this case it was the ultimate United Laboratories test, I guess, because it was where they were smacking a plane into segments of what would be the World Trade Center. This was all done 40 years ago. So, when you look at this, the whole idea that we just didn't have any clue, well that's BS. Now we're talking about a power outage and that means a planned chicanery by the shysters to knock down the power grid. Well, you all know what's coming. And we'll find out after the fact there are so many people involved in running the power grid. They're live, they're in the control centers. They probably won't be able to round up and execute everybody that's witnessed things. We'll find out after the fact in Whispers Over Beer about how guys with wires coming out of their ears came along and ordered things shut down. Exactly. And that's the fact in this industry especially, everybody monitors everybody else in the power grid. If you're running a coal plant, you know what's happening to every nuclear plant in this country. If you're running a nuclear plant, you know what every dam, every hydro facility, everybody watches everybody else because they're all marketing power. Well, heck, Enron did that and they did it in real time and they weren't even power producers. They were just money guys and they did it. They're watching how to invest in the energy companies. Exactly. Now, this again bodes the idea that we have to have alternate power supplies. I'm going to recommend something I said during the week here because it's a cheap solution for a lot of people. Let's say that you have $100 to spend and it's Quartermaster Friday. $25 or whatever it takes to buy a flat. Okay, now some of these flats are bigger and smaller, but I noticed the latest ones there are five rows wide, six rows deep, and they're these dollar store yard lights. The little dollar store on a little stick, plastic, you know a plastic tube, yard lights. Guys, I have them all over the place here. I've had some running for three years now. I paid a dollar for them. Some of them I got for free. They throw the ones out that don't look right. Did you know that? And the dollar store has a you know a simple dumpster where they don't throw anything but just odds and ends stuff in and lo and behold I think I got about what six so far that I got for free in one big lump They just tossed the extras out one had a little ding in it one had a dent because it was meant metal Last year's were black. The earth shears are stainless steel looking I don't doubt they're stainless, but they look stainless. Okay, the point is that for $36 $34 or $30 whatever you're spending there's 30 light fixtures that have an indefinite power supply available that you can put on the shelf, they're not going to explode, they're not going to burn, you don't have to worry about fuel storage. It's all right there. That's 30 pieces of illumination. By the way, it's also 30 AAA batteries rechargeable for a dollar a piece. You can't beat that anywhere. and it was delivered to you. You didn't have to pay shipping. You actually, that's part of the cost. You know, you paid a dollar for a little light that's got an LED, it's got a AAA battery, it's got its own solar cell, gee, everything right there. But if you needed batteries, you can't find 30 rechargeable AAA batteries for $30. Go find it. Go look. Because you've got to ship them, guys. Don't just think about the base cost. You've got to ship them. But trying to find them right now, rechargeables, a year ago, three years ago, we were talking about this on the air, all over the place. 56 cents, 60 cents, 64 cents in the Distress Industrial Surplus category. They're not out there now. So again, there's a number of different solutions, you know ideas, yeah how you can use this but at the very least These are cheap light sources that can be set on the shelf All you do is pull the little cardboard tab out and you have yourself a light source We don't need to brighten up the whole room at night We just need to prevent ourselves from stumbling around or maybe we want to deploy them so that we can see who is Stumbling around out in front of the house and out to the sides of the house way farther away There's all kinds of neat stuff that can be done. Right, you can swap that LED for an IR LED for distribution along paths or along the tree lines, that kind of stuff. Exactly. For the utility purposes in the house, you don't even have to fix them anywhere. You probably want to stick something to the walls so you can put them in a convenient place, but you can take them outside and put them in the sunny spot and then bring them back indoors. It's not a big chore to do. No, in fact very easy to use and again it's a cheap storage item. The other thing is matches. If you go to the aisle where there are matches, let me ask you guys how many brands of matches are on the shelf? If that, in most cases, like at the dollar store, it's one flavor. That will be one flavor here and one flavor there. The hembly here and diamond there. Exactly. And they'll either be the large wood, small wood, or the paper book matches. Take another $25 and invest it in matches. And then make sure that you seal them in containers so that they are dry, dry, dry. But that's another cheap energy source, something that's going to become really useful in the long run. Simple, cheap, paper, book matches. It's a dollar a box if you go to the dollar store. Some places in the distressed areas you might even find a better price. It depends. But the other consideration is see if the local stores You still get any of the freebies from the cigarette companies. They used to actually send matches as freebies that were promotional for Winston, Marlboro, or whatever. However, most of the stores don't like to give them out because they don't want to give you matches. They want to sell you lighters. Oh yeah, that's right. So those promotionals might be out there and another thing we haven't done in a while, search to see if anybody is giving out promotional packs of matches. Yeah, that's kind of falling out of favor now. Yeah, exactly. That's the whole point if you see him it's rare, but if you see him you might be able to you might be lucky in your area So just take that into consideration there It's a promotional thing for the cigarette companies because they want to sell more used to be actually provide a pack the it was automatic in stores up here where you should actually give you a pack matches With you when you got a pack cigarettes here. Yeah, by the way take one of these they're free. Yeah, okay, and I don't smoke but you also used to get boxes of them for free well they have the company logo on them even if it's just 7-Eleven or whatnot. They have somebody's company logo on it and then it's advertising. Exactly. Now the other thing is beyond that, again looking at a universal charger, by the way, Maine military's got a couple of really nice little packages there and they are designed to mount on backpacks. A couple of the models that they have are Mali compatible or Mali designed. In other words, they're built to work with the existing US military equipment and to market overseas. for the troops going over into no man's land. So hey, take advantage of that. Somebody's already done all the work, figured out how to make it happen. It's got all the adapters, all the plugs. There is another inexpensive mobile power source. It can be put into your window or near the window in your house out of sight but still where it can charge. It can be on your backpack, can be folded up in your ready rig, whatever you're going to do with it. But invest in solar chargers or combos where it's a solar charger and maybe has a winding system, a wind-up clock system to help generate power. Whatever it is, try to diversify. Try to make it so it can work with more than just one thing. Now the solar panels are good by themselves because the new ones are very, very efficient. The old ones, I wouldn't throw anything out. If I see something to get rid of the solar panel, I grab it. Period. I don't care how big or small it is. I got a calculator BK that had been in storage in fact since 1983. It's a solar powered calculator. Texas Instruments, right? Pulled it out of the box, actually pulled it out of the container that was in with all the other administrative stuff that was tucked in the box. Opened it up, let it sit out in the sun for a few minutes, and lo and behold, it worked just like it was when it was built as a very unique and uncommon tool back in the day. Yeah, I like those little guys. They've got a little battery in them, but I don't think the batteries are rechargeable. It might be, but if you can see the calculator, generally they'll work. Also, you can get large oversized desk-style calculators at the dollar stores or sometimes the two dollar stores that are also solar. And they're five function and a couple extras, but they are adequate for basic arithmetic and so forth, and they are cheap. down the road you might be making a little business nice to be able to do the math quick and uh... you know again demonstrated to somebody who might be challenging what you're doing well it's the computer here little pocket kinda looks e uh... yeah and uh... that's one of the other reasons as we've said before finding a niche everybody's got something get extra of or more over you're gonna be ahead of the curve on well if we are ahead of the curve than that is a marketable practice, no matter what it is, soap making, shoe repair, even just conventional sewing. You know how few people are actually up to speed even on that? I mean, by comparison to say just one generation ago, people, anyone who can do it, it makes a niche. Most people are not going to be prepared. The biggest problem is having more material to work with because most of the junk. I went into Walmart. I got a comment on this. We were down there and we had to stop and get some more cereal while we were down there with my mom. My dad wanted to go to the store so we stopped on the way back because we went from the hospital to the house. That's it. And then went to bed and got up and went right back to the hospital and went to bed. We were done. It was a short cycle but long days. Anyway, we stopped at the store. And it was Walmart. And I haven't been to Walmart. This is officially the third time I've been to Walmart. I now can tell you in all the time Walmart has existed, I've been in it three times. Well, actually... Oh, no, that's going to get the big habit for me. Yeah, right. Well, I went in and we were passing the clothing and I looked and it didn't look right. I was like, what in the hell? So I reached over and my sister, my older sister was with me and they had these blue jeans. Well, actually, they weren't blue jeans. They were cotton pants. And I reached over and I squeezed them. You know, it was both sides of a pair of pants, you know, the front and back of a pair of pants, guys. And I'm squeezing and it's like it was like I was pushing on a t-shirt. And it's like, whoa, wait a minute, I said, you know what, feel this. and she's like, oh yeah, that's the kind of stuff they're doing. I said, yeah, think about it. You're old enough to remember this. That wouldn't even be considered acceptable to put into a store back in the day. Very rarely will you find a pair of good blue jeans unless you want to pay for a high price. Everything is like less than t-shirt material. And the thing about this, yeah, a good price on jeans net is 30 bucks for a pair and you're going to have to hunt to get something solid. And this is why I was bringing up the whole thing about surplus again because right Right now, one of the companies we're dealing with, guys, and I need some feedback. I can't just go out and spend. But there's a bunch of Swedish clothing that has come in, and it's up to 3X. 1x, 2x, 3x Swedish military uniforms in OD green or in their Civil Defense blues. Also the Swiss blue jeans. Again, dirt cheap. Dirt cheap. We're talking stupid cheap. But Swiss made. And the Swiss don't make anything cheap, guys. Their idea of cheap is our idea of mid to high end. That's the lowest they go and that's true with everything that they build for themselves. There's a bunch of this stuff, but it's coming out in big sizes. Typically when you see it at the lower end you're looking at usually the extra smalls and usually short too. In this case the stuff is big and good sizes, big enough to fit everybody without any problems so especially in the Swedish stuff built like the old US Army uniforms used to be in World War II which were a herringbone twill weave very dense, very well made I wear the shirts all the time as I mentioned I was wearing one yesterday they're like green jeans It's basically the best way to describe them. Now, as I pointed out to her, I said for what I can pay for a couple sets, tops and bottoms, the gauge of what I'm purchasing as surplus is twice the thickness of this brand new material sitting here, of the pants that are sitting here. And she goes, yeah, it's everything that they're running into. And I really don't make a point of going, like I said, into Wally World or any of the other places like that for the most part. I mean, we've been checking stuff out. But again, there are cheap things in there. Right now, tactical colors are in, guys. The one thing I noted is grays, gray greens, OD greens. and field greens of different types in all the different clothes and right now that even the China junk stuff they've got is marked down like the three to five to six dollars an item down there I don't know what it's like up here right now But the one we stopped at down there there were some actually some pretty cool prices if I was looking to outfit a whole bunch of people at least in something that was tactical you could walk in and for minimal money with their markdowns with the stuff they're trying to get off the shelf It'd be work it worked to get you started might not be enough keep your clothes for a while You'd be in rags and you know a shorter period of time But at least you have decent clothing to begin with well every fall when hunting season comes in Wally carries fair quantities of a so-called camouflage. It's not something that you would consider military grade really, but they have a fair number of sweatshirts and sweatpants that are printed in a gray blotchy pattern. It's sort of a real tree type pattern. My opinion is that that's not bad as handouts. That sort of muddled gray is not bad. It's surprising how hard it is to spot a deer in the woods. Same sort of principle. An awful lot of what's in the woods is not green. There's an awful lot of brown on the ground and there's a lot of gray up and down. So if you're holding still, it's surprising how effective that is. Exactly. So again, this may be another source. You may want to take a look. Right now there's a glut. The economy is not that strong. Wally World likes to turn stuff around fast. It's kind of like tractor supply and harbor freight. Both of those have markdown sections. Always check them out. in this case it's just sales. I noticed it was like three, five, six dollars an item which means, yep, it's chintzy but you could buy a whole bunch if you were doing a movie. To be quite honest I was doing something where I was doing a theatrical production. I just walk in and buy the whole stinkin' rack and do it for less than you would by going to a normal, you know, a costuming department. Yeah, just give me all those. Put them in the cart. Get all those from the cart. Okay, let's go up and bounce this out and get on down the road. I mean, literally you could put a decent a decent number of people in a basic uniform and it looked pretty good. I mean it would be serviceable enough. Hey, you get something brand new, may not be real heavy, but you got something brand new. You better be happy with what you got for now. You want better? Go kill that black uniform moose on the other side. He's got goodies. That'll get him started. But the big thing is spares. And in clothing, remember the surplus stuff. Main military still has some great buys. I hope everybody's noticing the price creep. Frank doesn't raise the price except that he has to because the inventory replacement is biting everybody. So when you see the price shift, he's not gouging, it's costing him more to get what he needs to replace what he's had. And that's just across the board in the market. So take a look at what they have. NBC Nuclear Biological Chemical Defense. OK, so they're flapping and yapping about this and they're making all kinds of noise. Take it seriously. You know and then when so he goes well, well, why would you do that? Well, the government says we're gonna be attacked by blah blah blah It's not me. They did didn't you watch the news yesterday serious here is here a chemical chemical chemical biological biological The threat will the horror never end will the tear never cease. No, I'm not terrified. I'm just gonna buy some insurance technology And if you can, do get everybody you can that's a friendly to do that, to get that out of the way. Basic NBC, power supply, energy, a generator, water storage, all these things we've talked about are part of quartermaster issues that need to be dealt with either for the family retreat, basic civil defense for everyone, and especially for militia units. You need to organize, arm, equip, and train as militia. Well, you need quarter bastard. He needs to be there. You need to have a supply system and a supply person in place or a team in place so that you can determine needs and find best sources for material and get it stocked. The sooner we do that, this will do more to stop what's going on than anything else you can do. You can call them up and tell them, actually the other thing is just tell them they're idiots and we know what they're doing. I mean, just don't get any debates, don't give them any half way stuff. I'm not an idiot, anybody who believes this stuff is a fool, you've got to be dumb as a box of rocks be going along with this BS. And everybody needs to treat anybody flapping and yapping about that that way. And don't be kind to them because they would backstab you or they will piss on you in a heartbeat. Treat them, treat them that way first. Because until we get that trend going, the bad guys are thinking they can somehow get away with this BS. But if everybody looks straight at me and we can see what you're doing, I'm not going to pay any attention to your magician tricks. We understand exactly what your lies are all about. And that's what needs to happen. Everybody needs to work at this. But the other part, vote with your wallet. Yeah, I have total confidence in them betraying us. There you go. I have total confidence in them betraying us. Well, we don't really need to have faith in that sort of thing. We see it every day. Bobo just granted himself new powers to restrict imports of arms and ammunition, and he invoked it yesterday saying, okay, I'm going to block all Milser, BAMO, and firearms imports. Exactly, we've warned everybody about this. They've already been doing this by rubber banding stuff coming in. In other words, stretching out the time it takes for you to get something that's been approved, inspected, if you can get it on the docks. And as they did in the past, they drove whole companies out of business. You'll notice, if you go to amomand.com, everybody goes, well, it seems like it's been getting better. Well, is it? I mean, MOMAN.com is a generic bulk company. They do basic stuff and they all do a lot of it. They usually have a good variety. Do they? What have you seen considering now we're almost into September. We're a breath away. When next you hear this program, it's going to be next month. When you hear this program, Quartermaster Friday. Now, go out and take a look at the supply system and what's going on with it. Well, this time of year, normally, we are telling people, go out to your office stores and get the back to school specials and the 12 packs of pencils for 10 cents and those leaders and so on. There aren't very many of those. Hey, by the way, I just want to say something. That Wally world has none. They're going back to school, but they're back to school earlier than most that was one thing BK I even my sister we I saw we got a drought I get a good notepad because we got to get some stuff Wow, we're gonna Walmart to get the stuff. We'll just grab some school supplies there They did not have a back-to-school special section at all Nothing, it was all full price. It was all everything, you know, whatever they normally would and I even decided there was a task the girl that said isn't there anything like just we don't have anything like that and Now up here they did, but it's interesting that in that neck of the woods that was just well buy it or you know buy it or leave the store and Whatever the price has been that's where it's gonna be and there aren't any special crates of it coming in or anything I thought that was very interesting In fact, my sister was skeptical like well, they gotta have something around here It's like well go ahead look and everybody did and they're like Wow And also like question mark so you got there, you know good point there again normally that's we begin here's the other thing We're now into September This is when traditionally in the past you go and get those seven dollar and forty nine cent and eight dollar special boxes of twenty rounds of 300 Winchester or not 300 win 300 Savage 3030 Winchester 243 Winchester, okay, or let's see. What was the other one more be real common? Even 308 for about $8 and 30 out of 6 of course used to be everywhere for $9 a box at the most but you had the specials by federal. Anybody got those going on right now? They don't even, they aren't even pushing the 12 gauge stuff and normally that you can get. And it'd be marked down, it'd be like well this is a special hunting season special big time big time big time. And pallets of it out in the aisle. Yeah exactly you could go to any even the cheapest, punkiest store here in the area and you would have an ammo special. right now because we're starting to we're moving towards deer and pig season bear in some areas pig and others and Bambi season is just around the corner for rifle Now I told everybody before and we already seen the notices on this so I'm gonna rub this in too Remember most of the companies have tried to be politically correct for old bummer. They're not talking about what they're not what they're not making a couple of the companies announced that they were not going to make, remember? Like Hornady? Nah, I know Hornady's got some pricey stuff at different points of, you know, their scale of inventory to begin with, but... Well, yeah, they've said in the interest of keeping the machines spinning, we're not going to be changing out the dies. Exactly. So now here's the thing. All that 243 that normally would be cheap is because they would do that. Because they'd have a cyclic inventory build up. And since they can crank out a whole bunch of it, it would be right there, ready to roll. Now they can't build up any inventory if they actually produce it, poop gone. Yeah, and so now you've got a situation where if you have that 243 win, like I said, if you see it, we've got a bunch of 270 that came in here to the Meyers Shifty Takers. It's the only ammo they got. But somebody is smart. They're waiting until it comes in, then somebody gives them a note, and all of a sudden, all of it's gone. They've been getting about 10 boxes at a time, and whoever it is, as soon as they get it, all of them are gone when a guy walks in. Okay, we're on the topic, so I'm going to continue with this. We did this last week, you probably didn't hear it. I imagine you have a couple of things to do, maybe listening to all the archives is not one of them. So I'm going to recover this topic, because this one is a useful one. If you go on the Wally website and you look up ammunition and so forth, you can find it. Strangely enough, if you go down through hunting and so on and so forth, you won't find very much. But if you put in search terms like 22 L R or 223 or that sort of stuff, you will find lots and lots of hits. You can enter a zip code in there and say make this my store and so on and so forth. But when you get all the way down to the actual individual item, it will say there is no store information available. That is not truthful. Every other item on their site, if you're interested in a pair of sneakers or a table lamp or whatever the case may be, you can take a look and it'll tell you whether that's in stock in your store or not and there's a link to search other nearby stores in case something is out. But it does not work that way for ammunition. That's obviously a band-aid they recently applied to the website, recently as in the last six months or a year. I'm not sure why. My theory is that they would just assume you keep going down to the store and checking because maybe you'll buy other things while you're traipsing in and out. But that is a band-aid that is stuck onto the surface area that is in the JavaScript code. Their actual inventory control system does manage that stuff and the information is available. A fellow who is much, much better at web pages than I am figured this out and he posted a YouTube saying, if you use Internet Explorer on that site, you go down there, you get to that dead end point where it says there's no store information, you can fiddle your web browser, you can make a couple of settings changes in the web browser and display that information and it will show you whether there's inventory at your store. What's more, it will cause the search nearby stores function to operate correctly. In this fashion, you can figure out whether there's Federal 22LR in stock or CCI or whatever the case may be. It's a little bit clumsy because you have to do it for each type of ammunition. You can't say, just what's in the store please in this category. but you can find out, you can therefore let your web browser do your walking instead of burning gasoline and going down there all the time. There's a YouTube posted demonstrating how to do this and I'm going to give you a tiny URL to that YouTube so that if you play that YouTube and watch what he does and rerun it a couple of times if need be, YouTube will be able to do this trick with your web browser and actually find out from the Wally World website what ammunition is actually in stock at your store so you don't have to be running down there all the time. Okay, so the tiny URL for that is... well, it's looking a little bit odd to me, but okay. Oh, okay, I got it. The tiny URL is tinyurl.com slash OGE86GC. That is OscarGolfEcho. 8.6 golf charlie. Golf Charlie. If you use that tiny URL it will show you a YouTube. If you watch the YouTube it will show you the trick that you can play with your web browser. And using that trick you can avoid wasting all that time and gasoline and wear and tear on the automobiles finding out whether something some ammunition is in stock at WALL-E. So this should vastly improve the effectiveness I'm not all that super duper in favor of WALL-E. I think they're rather destructive of the supply chain generally. They have done some good things with the automation basically by letting a big contract to IBM to do it for them. But they are a major force and if anybody can get this stuff, they can get it. So, they are useful in that regard and you can get in there and make a cash purchase and walk out and not be leaving credit card tracks repeatedly as many of the web vendors are. So, Wally is useful in that regard. You use that tiny URL and watch the YouTube and see how it works and YouTube can do this. I've tried it, it works. So, it's not hard. You just have to get in there and use the developer tools and uncheck one of the options and it will display the stuff that's on the website but being concealed from you. And again, take the time. When you do a search, any particular flag that was tagged with that, PK? Yes, there is a variable in the JavaScript that you uncheck and the YouTube shows it to you step by step and how to get to it and how to uncheck it and then you're good. You'll have to do it repeatedly. Each item, if you say, oh, I'm looking at the Federal Bulk Pack 22550. Okay, you get in there. It'll show you no store information. You do the tracking. You can see. and then if you back up and say, oh okay I'm looking for the federal hundred pack 55 grain 223, you get down there it shows you nothing, you have to do it again. But it does show you how to uncheck that. It's just a couple of clicks here through the developer tools and uncheck box and then it will display. So it's not hard to do once you know about it. I would never find it. I'm not a a web developer type guy. One of our friends says it's not JavaScript, it's CSS. At any rate, it will show you how to do it. It is easy and it doesn't work. Excellent. So for everybody out there listening, again a reminder guys, Let your fingers do the walking through the keyboard pages as we've said, saving time wherever we can, at least to do a cursory survey. You may have to still do a physical confirmation if it's something in particular you're looking for. Always remember that. Don't assume everything's going to be where they claim it is even when they try to maintain inventory well. We've seen this with any number of things from micros, you know small C clamps used to be three for a dollar to buckets of paint. I mean seriously in the last couple of years here I'm just totally disgusted with reliability and inventory. But again if they've got it there, digital technology advancements being what they are with scanning the goodies means that chances are you could be saving a whole hell of a lot of time. at least not having to dance all over the planet to try and get it done. Go ahead BK, I know we've got more. Firearms4Sale.com, that is Firearms4Sale.com. As PMC X-TEC, it is a 2-2-3 in the 62 grain weight. $9 for a box of 20, which passes is a good price nowadays. They're limiting that to 20 boxes, so they'll sell you only 400 of them at a whack. but it is $9 per box of 20, that is the 62 grains. Most modern ARs and other 223s really do like the 62 grains better than the 55 because that, you know, won a 9 barrel twist. And that is PMC. I have never had any issues at all with PMC brands. So $9 per box of 20. That is 62 grain 223 PMC brand at FirearmsForSale.com Okay, and a limit of 20 of those, so they'll sell you only 400 rounds, but that's still, you know, 400 rounds is 400 rounds. That's more than a battle load by anybody's standards, maybe two, depending on, you know, how likely you travel. But, you know, 400 rounds is 400 rounds. PMC I've never been disappointed with, so, you know, can't complain. Exactly. There's nothing on the PMC boxer prime, reloadable guys. So brass case. Go ahead please. Yeah, you bet. It's made to Western standards. Gander Mountain is advertising Federal 22LR. It's at $5 for a box 50, so that's 10 cents around. That seems to be standard. It is available free shipping if you do the ship to store, if you've got a gander mountain nearby. And they're advertising that it is in stock, that is the federal target. 40 grain, round nose, you know, the standard decent good stuff. So, you know, that's available. Also, Alamo ammo. has 223. This is 223 Remington. What's the brand on this stuff? I'm not sure. But they're advertising that at 850 per box of 20. And that's 223 and 55 grain. So, It's also available for pickup if you're in the San Antonio area because that's their local area. So, that's cool. We have only a minute or so. Once again, the powder that's commonly available seems to be IMR 4007SSC. Powder Valley Ink still has that. Various things have gone out of stock. They are very, very light on primers right now. Two of the three primers they have are those Berdan 308 and X39s. The large rifle magnums are gone. Somebody bought those, I hope it's some of our friends that did it, but they're gone now. But they have the 4007 SSC powder at 148 for an 8 pound jug. So, that is a good general purpose medium speed rifle powder. It's one of very, very few that is still out there in any kind of quantity. So, do a little bit of research and look up some recipes and so on. Figure out if the 4007 won't serve your purposes. It may not be the powder you're accustomed to using. But from everything that I can find out, it's a very nice powder. And it feeds through your powder dropper. The super shortcut cylindrical is where the SSC comes from. The idea is they get some of the behaviors of the cylindrical powder, but it's not the long sticks that are so fluffy and inconvenient in your powder dropper. They're a short cut. So that's Powder Valley Ink. does have the 4007 SSC 148 per jug and we are out of time. oriented we need somebody dealing with supply and support you're gonna have to be the people dealing with that there's no magic but silver bullet from above except the enemy trying to shoot at you probably don't be about it and to be silver anyway god bless the Republic Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are in a march, both day and night. For everybody out there, it's the end of quarter, master Friday, but not the end of the weekend. You know, it's just beginning. Be careful on the road. Pay attention, drive offensively to get there and get back. It's the holiday weekend. Thank you, PK. You're welcome.
