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'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 is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God to 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 watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening. Intelligence report. I'm our kirky. And better knife. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories East, West, Southeast, and North. Well ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on... liberty to read it for him g dot com ronnie even if a micro station cb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska or the hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of the middle of four to four for the article of mexico had a new weekend mister pixall all the big chunk of the rest of the whole bunch of why you'll make to include both the 3rd, 5th, and our friends in Colorado. Waving to the left coast, we turn back to the east, we've crossed the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and the Lemons, Smokies, the restaurant crews, grandma teams, and the OK teams doing their part to bring us up online. Well, BK, it's medium temperatures here. We've got the band playing in the distance. It's football night at the high school. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What is the day today, sir? It is one November 2013, it is Friday evening, it is the last hour of the day and at the week for the intelligence report and that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. And it's been rather warm, very, very wet. It was raining last night when all the little bedraggled goblins were running about the neighborhood. We got more of them this year than we did last year. I got cleaned out. had 20 little treats ready and handed them all out. Last year was like seven. So I'm not sure. Maybe they're spawning. Maybe they didn't like the street next, you know, just down the road a little bit as much. I don't know. Maybe they bust them all in from another neighborhood, whatever. But, you know, that was an interesting little spike in activity. We ran out of time last week, or I would have mentioned that today, the day after Halloween, is the day that we should all be looking for discounts on green, brown, and otherwise. I'm told I'm coming in hot. Facial paint from the Halloween stores. However, on my little rabbit runs, I haven't seen any of those seasonal stores this year. I saw lots of them last year and it may just be a function of the errands and customer visits I've been making and things like that, but I haven't seen any of those around this year, so I don't know whether that's pattern or not. I saw very few, if any. In fact, normally there are two stores that have been empty. Usually what they do is they temporarily rent storefronts for a short time until Halloween. None that normally would be there were there in this area BK, so you're right about that. Right, well, let's say, and there are, you know, plenty of empty storefronts, so, you know, it's not a lack of those things. The same ones that have been used can't be used because, for instance, one of them that appeared in our neighborhood is now a Goodwill store, and that's rented 12 months and so on, but the same shopping center has empty slots, so I don't know what the pattern is, you know, maybe that's a, maybe there's some a consistent factor at work there. At any rate, so there didn't seem to be any of them around here, tomorrow is another possibility. Usually it takes a couple of days to ship those stores. So if anybody is interested in doing that, Aaron, that's a possibility. Something is going wrong with the audio. Ed is saying no joy, but I've got my mic in the usual configuration and am not whispering or anything, so I'm not sure what's going on. All right. Miscellaneous ammo deals and that sort of stuff. CDNN has advertised a special. $55 for a brick of 22 does not somehow strike me as a wonderful special, but I suppose if people are hunting for this stuff, that's a possibility. More interesting, however, this one ends tomorrow at 2 p.m. Central and they say, wow, supplies last, so it may or may not be available. But they are offering 410 rifled slugs. They are offering a 500 round case for $100. Probably plus shipping, but even so, 20 cents a round for anything of that class is not a bad offer. So that is 410 rifled slugs. 500 ground case for 100 bucks from CVNNinvestments.com. There's another interesting possibility. This one is advertised by Cabela's Under the herders brand name now herders used to be An actual vendor. I think the brand name has been sold to somebody and all sorts of miscellaneous stuff is sold under that brand name now Eastern block X 39 for instance has been sold under their brand name What Cabela's is advertising now is an arcane load. 12 gauge with a 0.65 inch lead ball and a half dozen number one buckshot pellets. $7 for 10 rounds. So that is under the dollar a round threshold that seems to be fairly traditional in recent years for slug or interesting heavy buck, etc. But that's Cabela's, under the Herters brand name, is an arcane load, which is something that you don't see very often. But that's an interesting possibility. Graf's seems to have some CCI primers nowadays. The good news is they seem to have some in stock. The bad news is the price. There's small rifle NATO primers at $41 per thousand, but they are available at the very least. And they also have other sizes. There's a large pistol and No, just large pistol at $37 per thousand some Remington and and so on so that's starting to appear a little bit and Once again, Powder Valley Inc. does have the CCI military primers at 38, so that's a consistent price that seems to be appearing all over the place. Also large rifle magnum primers at 30. It's interesting that there would be such a price differential between the harder military small rifle primers and the conventional large rifle magnum primers, but 30 versus 38 is a considerable difference per thousand. So that's an interesting occurrence there. Comments. Again, for everybody out there, take advantage of both the cost and the availability with a lot of these things. Prices are not going to stay down if inventory continues to roll right out the door. I don't care what it is right now, guys. I was checking on freeze dried food today. A freeze dried guy just telling us that the government is just not moving stuff sideways. It doesn't need to. It's got more enough places where it's been told to hand the stuff over to our enemies. Munitions and equipment, same thing guys. There are wars going on overseas. Medical supply, same thing. Even the surplus stuff that would normally be out there, well guess what? It's being diverted sideways into other inventories or has been put into private collections in other places. It happens all over the place. So don't be surprised. This category is going to be no different. Go ahead. Yeah, but some are starting to appear, which is an interesting trend. Okay, there is an outfit called bulk ammo dot com. Bulk ammo dot com, they are advertising availability of some of the 308 and 223, that sort of thing. They do seem to have a live inventory. mechanism. They are offering a thousand rounds of pervy partisan 308 full metal jacketed, boat tail, all that kind of good stuff at $6.35, which is not a bad price by current standards. Let's see, in the $2.23, They have a number of options. There's a thousand rounds of PMC, 55 grain of 420, and at 430 you can get the same thing from Pervi, also 55 grain 223. If you want to go up to 62 grains, that'll bump you up to 480 from the PMC. All of these have 30 to 40 units on hand and ready to ship. So you know, that's 30 some thousand. It doesn't take very many buyers to clean them out, but that is significant inventory by current standards. So bulkmo.com seems to have reasonable levels at this point of PMC and pervi-partisan in both 223 and 308. There is an outfit called Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore. This outfit does not have live inventory displayed on the site. So what they claim to have, they may or may not have. They are, however, offering 62 grain, 2 to 3 bulk in a plastic can at $250 per $500, probably also plus shipping. That's federal. That's worth checking, Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore dot com. That's 500 rounds, 250 in a plastic can. Do we have anybody seeking to speak? I've heard some beeps. Yes, sir. Go ahead. What's on your mind? Yes, sir. People hunting for especially 22 ammunition. get to get around and get bit. The Cabela's there on 8094 southeast of Chicago. I believe it's in Hammond right there. They had a good selection of 22 ammo here last week. You can't get but like one can. They had the Planner's Peanut can. It was 325 rounds. And then they had boxes that was 400 rounds of 22. It was federal American Eagle. 21, 98, something like that. They come out to buy the nickel around. And I had good luck. It's been hit and miss on 5.7 by 28 ammo. I had good luck there. And then, I just went through. I had to go to New York City here last week. But anyway, I stopped at the one in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, and 5.7 ammo. I've got like 40 boxes. It was all up to the forward. Posted prices at Wall-E remain consistently attractive though they are often out of stock. One of the things I have heard, and this is plausible, is that frequently the employees at Wall-E will sideline the material, buy it themselves, and eBay it. or comparable. One of the things I have heard is when you walk in there and you see the shelf empty, especially if you have a buddy or two along with you to add to the social weight of the situation, insist that they show you the cabinet under the countertop. because that's the official place that they can kind of sideline things without being accused of theft of material and say, well, I want to see under the countertop. Open the cabinet under the countertop, please. I'd like to see what's in there. Oh, no, you can't look in there. Well, you can look in there. Let me see. You know, open up. You know, it may or may not work, but I'm sure it is against policy. for employees to be preempting material from customers that walk in with cash in hand. So if you press the point, you can probably prevail. So that's a suggestion. If you are shopping and you see an empty shelf there, you may be able to try conclusions with them and win. I've had mixed experiences at the nearby Wally. There's a fellow in there that does not like me. We had an incident a little while back where I was standing there at the counter when the clerk walks up and starts opening his register right there at seven in the morning and said, I want those two boxes of ammo. Another fellow walks up and announced that he was there first, which doesn't make any sense. And the clerk says, yep, he's there first and hands it to him. So I think there's a pre-arrangement in process. Not a whole lot you can do about that, but I suspect that that stuff is going on when there is a difference between the going price and the offered price, then there is an incentive for informal arrangements of that sort. And again, total price on those again? Oh, typical price at Wall-E's around $17 to $19, something like that for a box of Well, the things that I'm usually after is the 223 at $40 per hundred or $37 per hundred from month to month. But, you know, those dribble in, they appear, they disappear. Usually not a great amount of supply, but certainly does appear to be some irregular handling of the inventory at the various wallies. Other people have reported similar things. So, you know. Be advised. They would sell as a jobber to anybody else. Today, not so much. The regular retail sales, whatever inventory they have, they now realize what inventory you've got is all you've got. Same with the weapons right now and magazines. While they are offering up and down prices as far as sales go, just like all the rest of the companies that do deal in firearms, remember guys, it's still a limited spigot there. The next wave is already catching up with supply and support. We've got some stuff still eking out that's part of the makeup group to try and get what we need on the shelf. But in the same breath, we've got Like I said, a wave of bodies out there is coming in a little bit, but it's going out at five, six times the pace in some cases, if not worse. We had Gabellus here, I understood, had a little sale down in the Dundee store, which is right there off US-23, just next to it, right literally on the doorstep of Dundee, Michigan. The sale lasted four magazines. They had a little clutch of something come in. I think a whopping one and a half hours and everything was gone. So what they thought was going to be a couple day ad to lure people in and we'll buy something else, which is always why you do sales. Everybody just went in and bought what? No, they bought the sale item and I'm sure they still bought a lot of other things. They got their money's worth out of the mags. But some places, as you notice, you mentioned CDN and investments here this weekend, everything is AR-15. Well, it's neat. I mean, there's really great pictures, but... There's no real cheap AR-15s here. I've seen some listed as low as around $700. So it sort of sounds to me as if they've started to saturate the market for new AR-15s and prices are starting to soften up a little bit. Oh, of the whole page there's one for $650. MMR Mossberg 223 Hunter, it's got a 20 inch barrel. That's what I'd get. Number one, I'm looking at the barrel length. It's got a full length barrel, 223 AR, $649.99 with tax license and dealer preparation. Still, it's just the idea that if you look at the average price for all these M4 knockoffs, now granted some of these are high-end anyway. They were intentionally right from the get-go. They were $1,000 rifles even before the price change took place. If you look, this still comes down to if you're patient between all the different sales and piecing together a rifle, you can still come up with a nice AR-15 for less money. But you've got to shop around. You'll find parts here, pieces there. I had this discussion with a guy who's building a bunch for a militia. We've got two new militias going up here at the same time in the Dexter area. They had never heard of the 80% air 15 receivers. Well, the whole crew did today. Right off the bat it's, well I know where I can get this, I know where I can get that, but I pointed out that I'm not an excited fan of the 16.5 inch AR-15 barrel, but right now that's the cheapest thing, because like you said, they were cranking stuff out to catch up, so the 16.5 inch barrels in the cheapest model is out there. And that means you can buy a complete upper, maybe without the bolt carrier, for a pretty good price. by a cheap low-end folding stock for the rear because I really don't care which model you get, it's going to be pretty much the same. It's just a matter of fins or no fins on your car. the polymer law receivers and the internals, everything else can be had for a good price. So if you're patient right now, we're in that short window where you can actually grab things, but you've got to go to several locations to get it done. It may also be that as we approach the Christmas season and people are stressed financially in other directions, that there may be a little bit less pressure on the firearms industry. So if you maintain your attention it could be that there may be a a little dip while people are buying fancy televisions and bunny slippers and things of that sort. Don't forget, as soon as we found out what the du jour weapon was that was used at the LA airport, the sooner we'll be told about what the latest gun control scam needs to be, of course. I give 10 to 1 odds and it's an AR variant of some sort. What was funny about that, I was sitting back and watching some of that at intervals today, I was in and out, was that, okay, they have this incident at LAX and somebody walks in and apparently he had some sort of interest in the TSA and opened fire and the local cops shot him, he was wounded in the leg and captured the guy and all this kind of good stuff. But they bagged this guy and it's over. and they proceed to shut down the whole airport and freeze everything and declare a complete ground stop. and it just goes on for hours and they block up the whole airport and so all of the roads feeding into the airport completely jam up because they stop all the traffic so that backs up onto 405 so they jam up 405 which backs up and they're reporting that okay the backup extended all the way to 110 which you know runs into LA so 110 jammed up and then the FAA gets on you know uh... the errands as well you know if you're flying into or out of our anywhere near the west coast you better contact us before you you know and try to get on your flight because you have a problem and so on so as some of these of these goofballs because of one guy managed to jam up all of air traffic all up and down the west coast and make national news and so on. What a terrific job of handling it. I imagine the problem if there were three incidents across the 300 million people in America all at once. One in LA and one in Kansas City and one in New York City, they just shut down North America. Well, yeah, cascading by the time we're done. If they diverted any flights, ping pongs, it's a pool table type arrangement, which is exactly what happened. And as much as anything, it's because of the slow, lethargic, muddy, massive bureaucracy. It's what it comes down to. There are several excellent articles I've read this week. done by people basically saying is everybody tired of all of these these you know I I'm scared routines because you know they were scared you need to protect me you know it's like what do you shut shut these people down shut them off deal slap them put them over the corner and everything would get on just fine and it really would mess with the it would mess with the whoever thinks they're gonna cause problems it would mess with their mind even more but instead It's like the old rubbing their sores and it just cascades. Just exactly like what you're describing here. And again, it's true. LAX, all it takes is a car accident. You've got stuff backed up for miles. Just imagine what this was like with the doofuses and what they were doing around the airport. All the official, I mean all the overlapping official scammers that are all government agencies. Did you see the picture that they had, for instance, with the plastic laid out for red, yellow and green for casualties? In other words, he's dead. Oh yeah, they laid out tarps on the ground so that the helicopter could see it. That's the emergency triage center, Dad. That's right. I know what it was. My point is that, again. Well, you know what? It's cute, Dad. They set that up and they said it was a mass casualty thing and they had all these people that were injured. But you never see anybody go into that green zone. Right, exactly. You never see anybody go into that red zone. And you see one guy who they constantly replayed, the one guy being in the yellow zone. I'm in the yellow zone, I'm hurt. But it was only one guy. And they replayed it over and over again throughout the day while they were claiming it was live footage. You could tell it was the same guy, it was the same footage in replay. Back and to the left back and to the left and his head flies back and to the left. We've seen this before Go ahead caller. Who do we have? This is tell hey, does you know I? Everything greetings to all the excellent broadcast as usual, but she just said you're fine to switch I heard you and everything in sure well this morning. I think it was the 10 o'clock hour himself the Asian voter corn tell pro is using ethnic tone in describing his frustration. I believe even those that have participated with the enemy demonstrated their fealty to the panic and they didn't do it near that enemy. Those that were channeled and international. Thank you sir. Well the bad guys know that everybody is looking straight at them and nothing they're using in the way of the usual magician tricks are working. The only The thing I can see about the shooting is the myopic perspective, throwing us into one dot again. Go ahead. I need you to speak up a bit. You're still coming across really low. Wow, that's really weird. Actually, I'm normal volumes at a normal level here. Well, you're on the phone. You're not on computer right now, right? Right. I'm on the phone, so it's direct line. Yeah, that line out there has always been a little weak. Well, we'll add volume to this. BK is going to jump in there because I know he's got more. Go ahead. All right. I'm not going to make the same mistake as I made last week. I had a rant that I got started on last week and I did not have enough time. We do not have much more time now than we did then, so I'll postpone a recycle on that one. A couple of interesting little incidents occurred recently. This is a tiny one and it's no massive significance, but it is illustrative. A while back, I was working away in my little subterranean bunker laboratory here and I heard this strange kind of thump, thump, thump and I thought, what the heck is going on? And I started wandering around the house and investigating and discovered that, well, sound propagates oddly in the house. It turns out that the thumping was being carried through the structural framework and I traced it back and realized that it was coming up the power lines and went out and took a little look out the backyard and sure enough there are a bunch of guys from the local power utility pounding away on the telephone pole, you know, the power pole for some reason. I'm not sure what they were doing down there. So, you know, let's sit around for few minutes until they were done and asked them, hey guys, what are you doing? I'm just curious. And you want to guess what they said? Stalling new monitoring technology. No. They may have been doing that, but that's not what they said. What they said was, no oblique glace, señor. Oh, por favor! This is the freaking power utility. This is not a company that goes through gyrations of expansion and contraction. They've been here for 100 years or more, and guess who they're employing? Well, they probably don't have paper saying, hi, I am in a legal, but isn't it interesting that Americans don't want those jobs anymore? Yeah, right. This is not a fly-by-night manufacturer. This is not a poultry processing firm. This is not some miscellaneous little under the table, semi-shady business. This is the freaking power company in this area and guess who they're employing instead of all of the Americans. Then you watch the television and they talk about workforce participation and unemployment rates and so forth. What a crock. Okay, well, no vast significance to that little story but I thought it was illustrative of what's going on in this laughable comedy that we call an economy nowadays. There's another interesting little thing that shown a little bit of light into one of the dark corners. Many weeks back, I reported an Indiegogo project, it's similar to Kickstarter, but it's a competitor to it. It was called the $9 Arduino Project, and what's going on there, Arduino is small microcomputer board. It's basically just a small board that's a minimal carrier for an at-mail chip. There's nothing fancy on it. It's just a chip with the oscillator and a couple of connectors and a power regulator and so on. It's the bare minimum device to get people up and running without actually doing any soldering using a microcontroller. So it's very popular among the hobbyists. the people who are afraid of the soldering iron but want to play with the microprocessors. The boards are very simple and so this fellow says, okay, I'm going to start up a Kickstarter type project to get a bunch of these into people's hands worldwide at minimum cost. And he puts together this package whereby you can buy one or five or ten or however many of these things They get as low as $9 apiece in quantity, but you could buy one for a measly $10 or $11, I think it was. This is the bare minimum cost. He contracted it through China, had them all run off and so forth. He's gone through some gyrations getting them out the door. What's interesting is that there were some mailing delays on this project. I ordered a few, and still haven't gotten them. But there are some mailing delays because they packaged up all these things and mailed them. It turns out there are new regulations at China Post, which caused thousands of these packages to be returned and had to be repackaged and relabeled and sent back out again. Turns out that China Post is now required to x-ray all of their shipments to make sure there are no fluids or batteries in the shipments. And that of course caused some disruptions when they received these, you know, pallet loads and pallet loads of, you know, identically packaged Arduino boards to be handled and they ended up pumping them all back to the to the manufacturer for repackaging and reshipping and so on. It's interesting that suddenly there's a big push to try to suppress the mailing of batteries and fluids. They're not looking for gallons of fuel or anything like that. The fluids that are being mailed out of China are electronic cigarette fluids and they come in 30 ml in smaller bottles. It's not as if this is going to leak and drown some airline passengers. I haven't heard any stories of airliners bursting into flame because some battery in a retail package decided to self-destruct. The things are barely charged in the factories anyway. It's not as if there's an actual safety thing. It sounds as if there is some pressure at some point to to suppress the retail traffic in electronic cigarette material from China because that is a land office business right now. Perhaps that is coming out of the tobacco interests in the US. Perhaps somebody in Department of Commerce has gotten their pennies in a twist and decided that batteries are a threat to the power establishment. It's hard to tell what's going on. But as a result of watching this project and being interested in the shipment of these arduino's because I haven't gotten mine, I have accidentally become aware that there is this weirdness going on in the shipping situation. So that is an interesting little highlight. I thought I would pass that one along. Interesting too because they're overlapping considerations, but you probably hit it right in the head. The smoking industry combined with whatever compensation might be taking place with regard to controls, we're giving the Chinese a whole bunch of access and manipulation of certain food industries and other, etc. So there might have also been a tit-for-tat trade in terms of, hey, we want you to do this or retard this in this way, do this and accomplish it, and that'll be your industrial espionage for us while we deal with betraying the country over here. It was interesting because the process, take a look at what else, they are shipping from China right now. They are shipping billions of dollars of those lithium batteries and the e-cig gear and the fluids and all that kind of good stuff. It is probably the first item that the Chinese ever invented and it was a commercial success. They are certainly doing a job of it. vast numbers of young women with tiny little fingers for assembling all of this stuff. This is one product that does not appear to have actually been invented in the US. The Chinese are manufacturing, they actually invented it themselves. It's gone through many, many generations and it's actually getting to be much better. The technology and configurations and so on have gone through multiple generations and are improving markedly. So I guess the Chinese actually can invent something. Their culture is oriented more along the lines of copying something that exists and then churning out large quantities of them. I will throw out as an aside if anybody is interested in the e-cigarette thing, get in touch with Spike because he can fix you up. So, but it is a very interesting and a little bit of a head scratcher that somebody, some interest somewhere has decided to restrict the shipping of such basically innocuous items because you know you could say okay well if somebody's packing 5,000 of these batteries in a case you might call that hazmat because it's conceivable somehow that they might short circuit, in which case that would be a bursting problem and a thermal problem. But, you know, a few of these at a time in retail packaging in a box, you know, even if you've got, you know, hundreds of those in a container, each one is insulated with so much material and packing and bubble pack and things like that, that I have a hard time seeing that sort of cargo container as being a hazard to air travel. It might jiggle and explode! Oh no. Well that's like, I had to laugh. Every time you go into the post office they've got that stupid, the new poster that has all the things you can't have and oh my god it's like, yeah you know we used to ship that everywhere by the ton. Everywhere by the ton that, yep that too. Yeah go and perfume, yeah yeah the hazards of perfumes don't you know. And in all this time was any airplane ever taken down by the transport of any of these items? No. Yeah, the Chanel crash, the famous Chanel crash. Yeah, the whole plane was horrible. And when it hit, well first of course it created an electrolysis issue and an oxidation problem with the hull. The aircraft virtually disintegrated in flight. But it smelled good on the way down. Yeah, I was about to say it went splat, but it smelled good, didn't it? The crash may have been horrific, but everybody was quite entertained. In fact, we were almost euphoric. I don't know about the crash, the combination of the burning flesh and the Chanel. There's something about it. I can never wear Chanel again. You mean I can't do that anymore? Oh darn, well I said I did several times. I'm gonna say, well I've got that in the box, that in the box. I've got that too. I guess I'll take the batteries out, but I double taped everything. And by the way, I suspiciously taped it so on top of everything else, whatever the hell that means. You know, that BS. Well, the big thing here again is we've also... Before we drift off, let me say that I once witnessed a lady turned away from the post office, not allowed to send her Christmas box. We were all standing in line as big mob scene and so on, because the obviously used and recycled box had once contained vodka. and still had Smirnoff Vodka or some brand of vodka printed on the side of the box. And since they do not allow the shipment of flammable fluids, they do not allow her to ship her box full of teddy bears or Christmas gifts or whatever the heck it was in a box that was printed with the brand name of something that is a flammable fluid. You know, they can't just take a magic marker and scribble over it. They can't just say, well, we've got to check in here as a matter of procedure to make sure that it's not full of vodka. No, they turned her away for using a box that had the word vodka printed on it. They spent more time turning away than it would have taken to just process the box. If need be, through the automated system, look at it, it's somewhere down the road, which is what's going to happen anyway. Whether or not it had that on the outside, think about that. Just like you're talking about these packages coming from overseas where they're X-raying, they're automatically X-raying. The Chinese are the ones doing it. One of the things to remember that we talked about before, it's just like the containers. The radiological and scanning technology to monitor all the equipment coming in the US from China is all run by the Chinese with no Americans attending. So how do we know what's coming in here anyway? It's the same true, you know, the same is true of that. with regard to this China post issue. The only thing I can see is it's a scratch my back and I'll scratch yours and we'll screw somebody else for each other. How's that sound? Well, they're screwing their own vendors. It's very bizarre. I do not see a reasonably clean rationale for this whole thing unless it's just pressure from some interest group in the US. Well, the other thing here too we've noticed and I've had several complaints from other people about While ordering things, they typically come in direct and only then a couple of days to ship. In some cases, they're getting part of the order within a few days. Then other parts of the order have an intermediate date and then the rest simply aren't coming in. This is consistently becoming a pattern from what was an immediate delivery Chinese For all practical purposes, everybody has been taking advantage of this or getting spooled on it, just like we've seen other areas. We've talked about the DealXtreme idea. I experienced the exact same thing I put in in order a while back with DealXtreme, some of this and some of that. It dribbled in and dribs and grabs little packages and so on. A couple of the items never even did arrive. So, I have decided since then that since they offer free shipping and so on, you should just put in an order for five of this and then a few days later put in a completely separate order for three of that and just keep them completely separate because I think they're losing track of the bits and pieces as they back order portions of it from different vendors and so on. Now, that gets us into the whole thing too real quick about even inside the US. Guys, I've been taking a look at a lot of the stuff we've been recommending on the air. People have been getting it. But the biggest thing has been, well of course, shipping has been the first concern. Greater the order, the more money you're going to save. So double up where you can on that. In reverse order, Most of the companies right now have deals where if you do $89.99 worth of whatever, it's free shipping or it's like $6.98 shipping anywhere in the country in the 48 lower 48. It behooves you since you know that you've got two or three people that are going to be ordering the same thing like the body armor or whatever, work together on this guys, order together. I've seen several examples of the body armor from Apex Gun Parts. and all of them are in excellent condition. There is not one of them that looks like either it's very good, the lowest is very good, which is a high rating, to excellent. In other words, does that look like it was even used? I can't find any tags, but it doesn't look like it just came out of the wrapper, and it's true, they did. But the thing is that if you order just one, your shipping is a few dollars higher. But where people ordered multiples, well, it breaks it down. In fact, they still get a better price at a certain weight line. I'm not sure what they're even doing with UPS anymore. But definitely they saved money on the breakdown. Now, so far, the average price for the shipping BK on the assault vest, the body armor vest from Apex, and they do have all of them in stock, but you guys have been buying them up. and they're running low, they're starting to run out of them now. $7.50 seems to be the consistent price. So it's the price of the vest plus about $7.50 guys, which is not bad at all. We're still looking at you're paying for the price of a whole vest, but right now if you go to most of these companies, they're charging for just the shock trauma plate, for the little square plate that goes up front. So, you can't beat it. I've seen them. I highly recommend them. The only other thing I think is happening is that they're running out of the ones that had the shoulder holsters built in or the front holsters built in. They still have the multiple pockets. They are full wraparound body armor. They're very good. Well, not very good. They're excellent. As far as the design, they're a standard security design. Buy the chicken plate, buy the trommel plate, it's only $5. Even if you don't use it in that vest, typically you'll get another vest or something you pick up. Get extras if you can. They probably have more chicken plates than they do a vest by the sound of it because that's typically how it works. So again, take advantage of that. The other thing is... As I pointed out, there were a number of magazine deals, too numerous to mention. The AR-15 mags have come down by a dollar a year depending on who it is that makes it. But if you buy in quantity again, we've got this one militia unit here. They've got a lot of money. They're factory people plus they've got professionals that are engineers. These guys are going with group purchasing. Well with group purchasing when you look at some of these prices like a hundred mags for $890 it's like, well Mark, that's $890. Well yeah, but these are the latest mags. You're looking at the new Magpul followers and they're $8.90 a mag if you buy 100 of them at a time. If you can get five buddies then it's a lot smaller. Exactly. That's what you've got to do guys. Or again if it's bigger items that you're all going to get one vest or you're going to get one of this or you're going to get stocks for something or even cans of ammo. I mean if at all possible if there's any kind of cut off get to that cut off. The price you save is also probably going to be saved in shipping because you've reached that dollar limit. We had below freezing temperatures about a week ago, so I nipped out there and said, okay, well, you know, whatever the plants have produced, that's that, and I rummage around in there, and I found a tomato, one red tomato. And actually, I found a bunch of little ones that, you know, are green as green can be, so I ended up with something on the order of a quart of tomatoes. But you know I got I got my tomato so you know there oh and on the topic of gardening We have a new program relatively new program on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. Eastern that is grown your grow your own the budding revolution with Joe from the Carolinas and Joe talks about permaculture primarily and that is very site specific.
