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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie 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 have people. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'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, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is to distill the land of the free, the home of the s- this r- The drums, the drums, I hear the drums. Good. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm R. Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both pit third and fifth, and our friends in the State of Colorado recall, recall, recall, all of them guys. You put clipboards out for all of them. Yes, you may be focusing on one to get rid of the next senator by recall, but you do a governor's recall and all of the other scumbags, Republerat slash Rhino and Demikin, that all agreed to try and take the guns. Time to make them all worry. Put them on the defensive. The way to do that? Hammer them from all directions. Get used to a multi-dimensional battlefield. My god, you're smarter than that. Anyway, waving to the left coast where, well, Stencha Feinsteinism and Brownstein Diaper, of course, are trying to implement international Soviet socialism. On the left coast, the California Soviet Socialist Democracy is the goal. Red and yellow paint the state. Well, turning from there and the stench and the smell in that direction, we will sweep across the plains back to the east, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the smoky slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Maville Grandma Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us The Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million petticoat junctions. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, it's a beautiful, rainy, it's a fine, squish day. Yeah, the rain is not coming to stay down, but like a bit of an angle. You know, so it's, and that's really what it is. It's real Scottish weather for everybody out here listening. So if you get a chance, Well, just think Braveheart, the early part of the movie, rain going sideways and medium temperatures. It's actually quite nice and I don't like that. I'll tell you why. When we get this nice warm spell that's going to lull everybody into a sense of warm fuzziness, We get a couple of days of that and then it goes into the toilet, hyper freezes and winter is here. So I'm warning everybody in advance that there's that possibility because it's a warm wave. It lulls everybody for just a bit and seriously guys, it's not going to last. We know that. It's fall. So don't get caught off guard. Make sure you got your rain gear with you. Make sure you got your cold weather gear with you. It's the 6th of November. It is the fifth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K-2013 old earth calendar, a Mayan crazy town calendar. That means it's the middle of the week, it's weapons Wednesday. Kind of an extension, well of course from the morning we had several different points we were discussing about the whole idea of personal preparedness. In order for the Army to work, there are subcomponents, the militia to work. A militia Army, no matter how it is constructed, whatever configuration, depending on the flavor of the day concept of how organization should be. That's exactly how the world works, people. It's just purely a du jour thing. Regimental combat teams, the idea has come and gone and gone and gone. Battalion and brigade, come and gone and gone and gone. Regiment instead of battalion. Battalion instead of regiment. Regiment instead of brigade. Brigade instead of regiment, blah, blah, blah. Back and forth. See, it's purely a matter of everything else. I got this really great idea. We're going to change this up. and all the organizational changes are purely a matter of flavor of the day paper pusher. However, the individual's obligation doesn't change. Basically, the fire team doesn't change. Now, they've tried to reduce the number, and I'm going to warn you on this one, that doesn't work. A full 10 man squad, two five-man fire teams is still the best way to go. I know that everybody, you know, we go up and down on that. The reduced fire team is a desperation move to try and be able to put more numbers, you know, on the battlefield. Now perhaps that's useful in certain areas and you may decide to do that. And in fact, a smaller fire team can be established for the moment or different configurations of a 10-man squad can be made with smaller fire teams. The Marine Corps at the early stages of World War II used three 3-man fire teams and a team leader, actually a squad leader. When in the process of doing so the unit also had a lot of additional firepower attached to it These units going into the field had one Thompson or rising typically with the Marines It was a rising in the very early days the Marine Corps has always been able to procure its own armament It is a private corporation a registered corporation separate front. It's what's called the core guys the Corp Okay, the Marine Corp Well, anyway, the whole point is that the Marines have been able to procure because they're kind of like the orphans of the Navy, that's how the Navy laughs about it. And through the years they've bought their own weapon systems. They have purchased their own design. The 6mm Lee was a Navy and Marine design weapon that came and went because it was, again, the concept of the M16 only in the bolt gun era. It was deemed to be just not sufficient for the type of performance that was expected out of the weapon. Or I should say on the battlefield, what they expected to see the weapon do on the battlefield and how it should perform. We won't get into details on that. During World War II and pre-World War II, production was not sufficient to get everybody what they wanted or to again alleviate competition in terms of production, the Marines rather than having to wait in line, decided that they would procure their own weapons. Now in the early stages of World War II, this included for a submachine gun, the writhing submachine gun. No, it was not foreign, it was American made. In fact, it looks like a Marlin .22 on steroids. Sounds weird, but that's basically what every time I look at it, it looks like a Marlin gun when you first looked at them. The ricing took a large stick. MAG was a unique design. It worked quite well and was sold commercially in its identical to the submachine gun format. It was sold as a semi-automatic rifle on the public market. Did you know that if you run into a ricing .45 caliber carbine that remember guys the only difference between the ricing carbine and the ricing submachine gun is that there was a piece of wire, basically like coat hanger wire for the select that's missing from the ricing carbine. So you don't really want to tell anybody if you run into a ricing that's out there laying around because it's probably the semi-auto carbine sold because nobody cared back in the day. One part's missing, but in a pinch, if you want something other than a ricing carbine, A stable piece of chromoly rod and a little bit of ingenuity with a pair of benders and you got yourself something else. But anyway, the pricing was the sub gun in the team. The BAR, Browning Automatic Rifle, that everybody loved so dearly and knows so well in every movie that we've ever seen about World War I and World War II. Well, the BAR was, of course, there in force and that was standard. However, the BAR was also in short supply. A new gun was available, the Johnson Squad Gun was available in a magazine fed 30 rounder, beautiful firearm, all American made, designed by a military man, the Johnson design, Mr. Johnson. The design itself was actually quite reliable and the Marines embraced the Johnson Gun in the early stages of the war, going into the Pacific especially. Now there was a third rifle or a third weapon that showed up the Johnson rifle not just the Johnson squad automatic gun But also the Johnson rifle now when the Marines had these weapons in hand they actually ended up with more firepower and of course also well a greater number of heavy weapons in the squad because they went to a three three three man fire teams one man carried a battle rifle one man carried a submachine gun and one man carried a BAR and that was a three-man fire team. Now the rifleman could either be carrying a 1903 Springfield Marine configuration with regard to sites or a Johnson rifle. The Grand was not readily available to the Marines in sufficient quantity but the Johnson was. In the squad gun, in place of the BAR, Johnson machine guns may have been in the hands of the Marine. As far as the submachine gun goes, the Reising or the Thompson may have been in the hands of the Marine, most likely the Reising. So in the early stages of the war, they ended up with a good quantity of different combined arms. that were available and they worked quite well as a matter of fact. Going into the Pacific, going into Guadalcanal and other locations, this is the configuration the Marines actually fielded and worked with and perfected. So there were other and have been other fire team configurations that have worked. Well no matter what, it's the individual and his attitude that actually makes the team work to begin with, we know that. It's the job of the squad leader and the fire team The fire team leader in any formation, any army, it's his job to keep everything pointed in the right direction, motivate the troops in the process. The officer in charge of the fire team or the sergeant in charge of the fire team, he has responsibilities too. Most important is to motivate the individuals to focus and perfect their skills. And all of you need to be thinking this way now. In fact, we need a wider number of exercises in motion where you get out in the field with your gear, you're going to get wet, you're going to get dirty. The idea is to move with it if nothing else. Just move with it. Find out where it fits and where it doesn't. What works and what doesn't for you. Remember each person is different just because there's a basic way that something can be configured doesn't mean it can't be adjusted so that it better fits you. This is the ergonomic component of just simply making web gear and weapon systems work to your advantage. We have to be faster than them. You have to be able to use what you are applying. It's got to work. If it doesn't work for you, if you can't make it work, then we have to figure out why and then adjust accordingly. Okay? Now another thing with regard to weapon systems, obviously, as we've talked about before, magazines and magazine pouches. There's a lot of cool stuff out there, but if the cool stuff doesn't fit what you're using, it's not of any use to you. Now if you're thinking about going ahead and buying certain things, maybe you're going to pick up certain technology. As we've said, if you've decided you're going to build an AR-15, well you better start building up all the AR-15 support technology that goes along with it, right? Excuse me. This includes web gear. This includes obviously the mag pouches, especially the right mag pouch or the right cartridge carrier for the weapon you're using. Now even if you want to go molly gear and you want to carry a Grand or if you want to carry a Nagat, Guys, there are pouches that will handle service when they got rifled. No, not the big deep M16 mag pouches. In fact, you really don't want those. If you're going to use a bolt gun of any kind or a grand or a short magazine weapon, those big deep 30 round mag pouches are to defeat the purpose. However, there are other pouches that will serve you. One of them is the grenade pocket pouch. The grenade pocket pouches are out there in force and not many people want them because they aren't planning on carrying a whole lot of grenades. All people are buying them, but there's tons of them. And when I say tons, I mean hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people are stuck with right now. So if you want digital or if you want three-color desert or if you want woodland camel, grenade pockets are there for you. Take a look at the depth, in other words, the height from top to bottom, and take a look at the size of your .30-06 D-clip. Experiment. Oh, a lot closer than that little fat deep 30 round mag pouch you can't reach to the bottom of, especially with the single mag pouch. It doesn't make any sense to be using those. Now consider this. If you use the shorter pouch, you also have the ability to stack more pouches on your molly gear, which means you can actually set your molly rig up for a grand and be quite comfortable and carry a whole hell of a lot of de-clips. Wow, that's if you want to go totally modern be quite honest just as easily You can base your entire load bearing equipment on the standard 10 pocket cartridge belt Add additional mag pouches to that a standard buck pack and a few other tools and that would serve just fine in fact there are a number of other solutions there that we'll get into but you know not today, but you know at other points and Help people understand how it is they can establish you know a working system now the 10 pocket cartridge belts been around since before World War I guys. It worked quite well with a dot system. A lot of the new copies were made with snaps. The dot release system works very well. We just need to take into consideration that if you're going to be doing it, if you're going to adapt to a certain system, work it out. ID what it is, it will go with it or integrate with it and use it accordingly. Now the MOLLE gear, I think it would be kind of cool. We need somebody to actually, and I don't have time for the moment, I would like to. I've actually been looking at this gear and seeing how cheap some of it is. It would be fun for someone with a grand to actually make up a grand MOLLE vest and show it off on YouTube. It wouldn't be hard to do. It would be a fact that you don't have to adapt any other kind of cartridge pouches or anything. You can use the existing multi-pouches that are out there. There are every size of pouch made. You can even make an ACU Grand Kit. There are 40mm grenade pouch pockets out there in Forest, but a lot of the 40s actually have an open base bottom. So that kind of defeats the purpose. Things falling out the bottom is going to work for us. But there are other pocket slash pouches readily available that will serve our purpose. And again, look at how many of those little pockets can you stack on a standard molly vest and actually configure so that you can have the whole chest area filled with D-clips for the grand or five round, you know, double or triple five round stripper clip pockets. full of nagot ammunition or K98 Mauser, you know, 792x57 Mauser ammo. If you've got stripper clips for it especially, see it's not bouncing around like chicklifts, it's actually making sense. You've got a stripper clip guide on your rifle. If you've got a K98 Mauser, the stripper clip guide is built into the top of the receiver. If you've got a nagot guide, your stripper clip guide is built into the top of the receiver. So if you buy the stripper clips, you can quick speed load the gun pocket the speed loader and close the bolt and boom boom boom. Get to work and go to town. Again, ideas not just complaining about the problems. I know everybody is lamenting, oh they got this, oh they're doing that. Well, we've got to be doing more and in fact deep logistics as I've said set up a 5-10 program in your area if you work out a system for you that you are satisfied with I would highly recommend you build a second one for yourself right away while the times are high if You find sources for cheap cheap cheap stuff and you can make another set up for cheap cheap cheap Well, you figure out how many you think you're going to need. How many of those weapons do you have in service? How many of you plan on having people employ if you are going to be doing a 5-10 program and build up your kits accordingly? Pick a system, pick a system, and then work out what it is you want to do. Or you want to set it up, how you want to put it together, repeat, repeat, repeat, and can it up and store it accordingly. It'll make a big difference. OK? Another thing here real quick, we talked about cheap magazines right at the beginning of the two-hour block here. There are a number of companies. Brownells, of course, has got a sale going on, $10 apiece for their Metal Air 15 mags. Go ahead and check them out. There's a couple other sales through different companies. GameSurplus has had a few mags that have been cheap, but the problem is that they have been turning around and selling out as quickly as they've been catching up with them. Okay, so we need to keep that in mind too and be careful with regard to the Again, the use of the plastic card, let's not get any back orders in a situation where we may not be able to back order anything anymore anyway. If they get another batch in, they get another batch in. If they don't, well, you don't have your resources or anything flagged or tied up in something that isn't going to appear on the horizon and we probably won't see again. We've had this happen before, wouldn't be surprised to see it happen this time around. So, again, magazines, magazines, magazines, ammunition, it's a catch-as-catch-can thing. I just had a question today. A guy walked up and asked me because he's got a .308 rifle. I told him, I gave him the usual list, but I said, you're going to have to go through pretty much everything you can find on the Internet. Look for any corners or cracks or crevices where something might be tucked away because if you're looking for that cheap .308 you used to buy, because he used to buy Portuguese .308 guys. Then that's the way to go go ahead. We got we are at the bottom I don't know if you want to take a break or not I got a rifle and this is my rifle queued up Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to fade it in for you. So just tell me ahead Let's go to break right now might as well. We'll take care of that and you guys have coffee my rifle and You may ride a good lead speed, you may know it's a turn of master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts. Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, we'll prove no trifle. Maggie no graves at home, back across the briney water, and Giddy must come alive. Well, it's a suit of slaughter, but it's way the job must do, and the sooner it is begun. If Clinton's figure holds the buck through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, we'll prove no to rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, we'll prove no to rifle. the Well, they're just useless. Really? Wow, they just seem to be buying more of them though, don't they? And if it's futile, resistant, and irrelevant, then why are they bothering to come after ours? Question mark. If ours are so irrelevant, and it's just so not nothing that they fear, they won't have us hanging on to our antiquated ideas and technology. We'll just sit here with it and stare at it. You know, if they have decided to attack, our bullets will mean nothing to them. Yeah, right. See how stupid that argument sounds when you apply any kind of logic? Yeah, all the weapons will be used. Yeah, OK, shut up. Anyway, we've got a lot of work to do, as I said. Now, another thing here real quick, again, weapons maintenance. We talked about this this morning, and I will bring it up again, oil cloths, or at least again, cover cloths that are made where you apply water repellent material or you can apply lubricants. Now there are a lot of really good lubricants out there, they're not going to damage anything, not going to harm your plastic, not going to harm your wood, not going to mess up your metal. You're not going to be dripping in oil. Remember guys, what you do is you take a cloth and you apply oil to it. Now I would highly recommend that you go out and find yourself some chintz cheap cotton camouflage. There's all kinds of stuff out there. It doesn't mean it's what it is but obviously something that works in the environment would be cool. However, you're going to oil it anyway or you're going to get it so that it actually is permeated and the purpose for this is like what we just experienced today. We had rain coming down in literal sheets. It was just fine rain and mass. It was a soaking rain but it wasn't a pelting rain. In other words, you can walk out and say, wow, this isn't bad but it's beyond mist but below a heavy rain. However, it gets on everything, guys, and it gets into everything. And if you are looking at that transition, or if you're looking at any kind of cold weather, and especially when you're getting into extreme cold weather, you're not going to see rain, but you are going to see precipitation in different forms and moisture in the air. If at all possible, you want to protect the chamber and breach areas of your weapon, and a cover cloth, which also helps to break up the pattern. It's something you don't tie it to the weapon. You don't have to. It simply drapes over the center of the action, covers a little front and rear, doesn't cover the whole gun, can cover the optics, that's not a problem and a good idea, but it keeps the moisture off of or pulls it away from the action. You don't have the drip process. Water follows the path of least resistance and is assisted by gravity because gravity sucks. Now, with that being the case, any little crevasse that the water can find, it will. That includes those little port areas and stations around the receiver. That includes the ejection port area. That includes any place where there are two pieces of metal that come together. Moisture will find its way through that area. Now, you can lubricate the weapon and you better. In fact, I would go so far as to say that in a cold weather environment, it would be a hoover to actually use a small, light, fine, fine, fine grease on contact surfaces between receivers. For instance, if you have an AR-15, a little trick here, take a little denser, but again, still a service, molly grease of whatever kind. and coat. Run your finger right across the leading edges of the top of the lower receiver and the bottom of the upper receiver where the two come together. Now this helps to, number one, cover and seal the crystal structure of the metal, which by the way, whatever lubricant you use is doing just that, it's creating an oxygen barrier, a vapor barrier. It is also in the process going to create a supplemental seal. No, it's not going to last forever. So don't you think this is the end all, do all, everything? And you're still going to be opening and closing that receiver for maintenance. You've got to pull that bolt. You're going to clean that chamber, even if it's just a quickie, just to take some of the junk out of the receiver area. Well, a lot of times you're going to break that weapon and you're going to close it again. You're going to break open the receiver, pivot off the front, and put it all back together and shut it back up and make sure she's working. OK? So, greasing those particular areas which are not going to affect the operation, they're not going to, again, attract any kind of carbon per se that's in a critical area. But in this case, we're trying to reduce moisture buildup. Now, the cool thing about gravity sucks is moisture will pass through the weapon and by the very nature of the calories built up on the metal, it also heats up and it boils slash warms itself up. If you get into from this kind of weather that we are experiencing, this is bad enough, to wet and then freezing, and this happens day to night, weapons that were functioning during the day, enough cold and you have ice inside the firearm, this is a very real issue. It is something that if you are living in the environment, no this is not a two hour movie. No we're not going back to the Bronco. No we're not going back to the cabin. Sorry. We're on our way outbound and we're going to be out here for 2, 3, 5, 7 days, 21 days. We don't know. It depends on the patrol or the operation or again the duration of the campaign. We may have shelter along the way. We will have support of different types. But we are still going to be in the field. We are going to be in the environment. Now wherever we can take cover, we are going to take cover. Wherever we can find concealment and cover, we are going to use that. Wherever we halt, we are going to disperse and effectively take cover to put as much material over our heads as we can to protect our thermal signature. There are basic rules that are part of the ongoing travel process where you constantly have to think. thinking soldiers survive. Those who believe that they know better than that usually aren't around very long to talk to. You find out real quick that they didn't really know about that. The rule is that you constantly have to be thinking. You are a shark in unfriendly waters. You are a fish swimming through the battlefield, so to speak. Every person, every individual is. They are moving through strange waters. In the process, the eat or be eaten thing very, very much applies on the battlefield with regard to engaging your enemy. You need to be better at what you do. Better than the other side by far, and many times over preferably. Some of the other considerations with regard to oil cloths, you can use camouflage, you could use burlap, you could use a nice piece of burlap. Now it's not going to offer a dense weave. Remember, if you use a cotton 50-50 military uniform cloth. It's a denser leaf. Once the anti-moisture repellent application, whatever it is, it could be oil, it could be, for instance, gibs. It could be paraffin. It could be beeswax that you've permeated the cloth with. Now, paraffin is going to chip off. Paraffin has density to clot. Eventually, it's going to break off, but it will have saturated the cloth. It's a matter of what you can find in the field because you're going to eventually either use it or lose it probably. Something's going to happen, it's going to break down, it's going to get lost. It's not worth your life to risk to try and recover. You're going to build a new one. You're going to find something else. Tear off some material off your enemy's arse off of some frag piece of busted up leg that's been shot or blown up a little bit. Break out the knife, cut a patch of cloth off the shredded part of the pants. Cut the buttons off the pants and put them in your sewing kit for spares. Take his belt. Anything that's off that corpse that can be used will be used by us. Whatever the enemy has, it's ours. Now you then, again, whatever you can find in the field, you can even use other oils such as crank case oil or whatever, a small amount of it. Again, we don't want this dripping. We don't want to create a mess. What we want to do, and again, we don't want to start gumming up other material. The idea is that this creates a shield If it does make contact, it doesn't harm the equipment it's covering, but it prevents moisture from building up in the weapon. Now, there's a couple things you do need to inspect. Moisture buildup can create a number of issues. Frozen rounds in chamber. Both freezing in battery, in station. In addition to that, you've got to watch out for moisture buildup in the barrel itself, just because, again, sometimes when somebody's sitting, this is why you break and drain. Pull the wet round back out, extract the round from the chamber, and invert the rifle. Allow the muzzle to drip drain, and of course by pulling the round out, you've broken the vacuum inside the barrel. And if need be, physically inspect or rod the barrel. If you suspect there might be a blockage of some kind. And it can happen, guys, especially in the transition season that we are in, which is especially bad. So we need to keep that in mind, too. It is a problem. And it becomes a real problem as you're out there in the environment. Now, as it gets cold dry, you still have condensation problems, but they're nothing like cold wet. However, guns freeze and guns will slow in operation with initial firing. I've heard this before, I've listened to it myself with Browning 1919s that we've operated in cold weather and also with MG42 slash the MG1 and certainly the M60. In cold weather, especially if it's sitting frozen, leaving weapons up on the roof of an APC at night in position, somebody's on guard mount. and you fire it the next day and it starts out. Now of course it's warmed up since normally cycling. Browning is the same way. Little warning by the way with the Browning II and with the MAG 58 or M60. Different ammunition operates different ways guys and because there are different loads you will get a cyclic change. I'll never forget this. We were running American ammunition in the Browning 1919A6s that we had in an exchange. While we were using them, we of course had Canadian ammunition that we had integrated and it was funny in hell because it was all linked together and it was... And it actually stunned the gunner for a second because he realized there was a change. The Canadian rounds were hotter. a different powder charge and for whatever reason the cyclic rate was higher. And it was a significant sound signature change also that everybody, caught everybody off guard because it was our own guns that were doing this. And it's something where you need to know and advance. Remember, there's a lot of ammunition you people have bought. In fact, you've been buying ammunition from virtually every point of the compass in every caliber. 30-06, 308, 7.62x39. When you start using these weapons, you're going to have a familiar signature that you're hearing. Because typically you've been firing a certain batch of ammunition and or been running a certain amount of ammunition on the range and for training, you're used to a certain signature sound. However, if all of a sudden somebody pulls out that can at Casey Hugo ammo and you start firing it, something's not going to sound right. Well, it's not that there's anything wrong, it's that different rounds have different signatures. In fact, different loads have different signatures. I would point out, and before I forget, now I'm going to change direction here, but not. Guys, did anybody see the article that's in the scroll in Henry's From the Trenches World Report? Of all places it was on the Communist News Network where the witness was saying that there was more than one gun fired at this mall the other day even though nobody was killed and that the guy was with a bunch of other people that had weapons. So what was going on? Well again, pay attention, listen to that piece and I'll tell you why. The individual had been in service. As he pointed out, the difference between a high-powered rifle and a shotgun shell are two different worlds, and all of you who have shot know this too. Inside a building, it becomes very apparent, very fast. So pay attention, go back to the scroll. It's probably off of the primary right now from the Trenches World Report. Forgive me, I did not mention that this morning when it was at the middle of Henry's scroll for his page. You'll have to go back to the older article by about probably one full page. Scroll down towards the middle or bottom of the next generation, the past generation of articles. The reason is, in fact, it actually ties right in with what I'm talking about, that you ID the weapons that you're facing or friendly fire from aggressive fire because you know what your enemy is carrying, you know what you're carrying. If another type of round appears on the battlefield or there is a change, this may create a psychological issue because people to a degree actually even measure the battlefield by sound. We do all the time. In fact, it is one of those things that has always been amazing. The staccato of such an orchestra and how it sounds under a canopy of trees in the fields, how it will sound at a distance, and having heard it so many different ways, it's one of the things you learn to help register range and the tenacity of the aggressor or the ferocity of the engagement. You know when direct contact is made because it starts out as a random conduct... By the time you're done, individual rounds can't even be selectively ID'd. And then it tapers off in the same way because, well, everybody's changing mags. And it's weather interesting. There's that first wave, and then all of a sudden there's a little bit of a letdown. And then there's the next wave. Both sides are quick-changing mags, or both sides are maneuvering. Then there is a constant mid-range sound because of the contact sound where there is fire and maneuver going on. Then it may crescendo and break of contact and then it will be tapering off to zero again. But the sound of your friendly fire may change. You have every conceivable round on the battlefield that could ever be purchased. Guys, you are going to have men carrying weapons with ammunition from World War II. I will. I've still got a lot of K-98 ammo from 1937. Brass case, German. Used to fire all the time. Used to have dozens and dozens of cases of it. I could take them, leisurely go out and fire the K-98 Mauser for a whopping one penny around. Ooh, that was expensive. And because of that, there's a bunch of that still stashed away somewhere where it's appropriately safe across the state. And when the time comes, it's going into battle. We're going to be killing these people with every round you can imagine. We're going to be dumping bullets into them that are 20, well let's say 20, but say 6 or 7 or 8 times their age. Yeah, you got killed with a World War II bullet boy. Thank goodness. Goodbye. Lights out. And it's like, well that's an antique. Yeah, you can tell that to St. Peter when the time comes when you get cursed and sent to hell. Shut up. Kapot! There you go. Goodbye. So, again guys, .30-06 carbine .308, whatever it is. The carbine is really interesting because the load's been pretty consistent, but There is PMC, Aguiila, US Military, South American Military, let's see, Silly Bellat, okay, Silly Bellat, but Silly Bellat, and any number S&B, any number of other off-the-wall company names have also produced carbine, and yes, there's even some change there in both output with regard to chamber pressures and, again, bullet weight, so there will be some change there, but it's not. That's not as noticeable. For whatever reason, they've had to stay within a particular age. The carbine is a unique round in how it chambers and how it must perform. In fact, the rifle itself dictates very narrow operating parameters for the cartridge. So everybody who's built M1 carbine ammunition has to maintain a very narrow and specific standard. On the other hand, depending upon national purchases, etc., some ideas can be allowed to run full horse and unique concepts in powder changes in bullet weights have taken place over the years and have been embraced by certain nations because of their national weapons policy. So, you're experiencing or going to experience quite a variant. Remember that. This is why we also want to try and route ammunition towards certain units or certain riflemen. If they've zeroed in their operating weapon and it's performing exceptionally well, wouldn't we want to keep that man or that woman on the range, shall we say, on the battlefield to consistently dot the I and cross the T? If we have a certain type of ammunition and those weapons that are performing exceptionally well desire a particular load, we're going to try and tailor our support by routing what is donated or routing what is in the supply system towards those individuals so that they can continue to take out aggressive forces to do a better job of taking chunks out of the bad guys. Uh-oh. Sounds like we've got some wind picking up out there, guys. Anyway. It is probably a little more rain too. It has been a very busy week and it is only Wednesday. Another reminder here about all this gear putting it together is yes you can weatherize that too as the guys have pointed out. We need to remind you that with your clothing even when you wash it remember that most of the modern laundry soaps have brighteners. These brighteners will of course also change the reflective surface. and help your uniform to shine where you don't want it to. So you want to try and use neutral soaps. In fact, the cheaper the soap, the chintzier the soap, the old type powder soaps especially, the old style no name brand, typically don't have very much of any scent. In fact, in most cases they have no scent. And they're also a non-brightener based cleaner. They will agitate the dirt, they will clean up the weave, but they are not going to enhance anything so that you have reflection that draws attention. This is a very, very important issue and you need to keep in mind that you can also, especially for washing your equipment, lemon based type dish soaps are a good choice. Now be careful, again the no name brand ones are usually your better choice right now because they are cheaper and they are made out of animal fats which is what typically most soaps are made out of anyway. The idea here is that the cheaper soaps will have lemon oil, you can smell it, but they won't have bleach. We don't need to be bleaching out our equipment and our camouflage if we can help it. So again pay attention, look at the dollar stores, look at the ingredients, experiment, especially, again pay attention to sentence spelling. Everybody goes, why use lemon? Now the lemon oil is certainly going to help with color setting. It helps to keep your camouflage from fading. It doesn't pull. The citric acids in the lemon oil actually help to preserve the camouflage, the color in the weave. So that's one of the solutions. I've never experimented with a no where grapefruit would stand. Probably be very much the same. Or, because there's grapefruit, there's lime, and there's lemon. I mean, there's everything out there in citrus. What they're using is cheap orange peels, guys. You think they go out and squeeze lemons for the benefit of no? What they do is they've got a number of different processes. They squeeze orange juice. What do they do with all the orange pulp? Oh, there's a number of things they do with the orange pulp. They make orange cleaner. But they also use it for any number of other chemical processes too. And they can squeeze it to make things like lemon oil. Yeah, from the peels. Same is true with orange, lime, whatever, because I mean it's what it is. So that's why you see all these unique colors out there. It's how do you make junk useful in an industry? Well, find out what somebody's got cheap and apply it to your industry where you can and make big profit off it. Now, again, watch the dollar stores. The cheap stuff from overseas isn't designed to be very fancy. In many cases, it's the older formulas that are bad and evil and nasty, but if it's imported from overseas, they turn a blind eye to because it's done the old way. Well, that's actually a good thing. If you find something that works, hey, isn't it a dollar or a container? Wouldn't it be a hoofie to maybe get a case and put it on the shelf? Yeah, you're going to be doing equipment maintenance for quite some time and you've already told me, everybody says, well, what about this? What about that technology? Well, then let's counter it accordingly. Another thing, remember, and I have to keep jogging your memory and also for our new listeners, because as we had a caller the other day, he said, well, he's not, but he's only been listening for a little while. I would remind everybody that if you want anti-thermal saturation, you know, slash treatment for your uniforms, So, bow hunting supply companies have the material available, remember? Oh, you didn't know that. Well, guess what? If you go to most of the bow hunting supplies, now how many still have this? And since we've been talking about it on here, who knows? But it's still out there as far as I know, and about a quart, the containers are a quart size. It's a clothing treatment for anti-infrared, reduces thermal signature. This is a good thing. Now I would point out that, as we've said many times, the original Woodland Camouflage uniforms guys were built this way. That's when the original Woodland uniforms came out. They were only supposed to last for two years in issue and then we were supposed to reissue them again. Why? Well, because your brown underpants, your brown t-shirt, your long johns that were brown were all thermally treated. They were actually thermal retardant. thermal reduction treatment clothing. The woodland camo was built the same way so that the camo actually helped to dissipate the energy in different ways. You might recall if you hadn't looked at it, maybe you did or didn't when you got issued your new garrison cap, your patrol caps in woodland camo. Did you ever notice that they were made of a different material, that they weren't a 50-50 cotton polyester blend? Real ones, I'm not talking about the aftermarket ones. I'm talking about the real ones. See if you can find an older real camouflage woodland patrol cap. Maybe one you have in storage that kind of got tired out. You better read the label. You'll notice there's a very different mix of polymers. Why? because the polymer had itself that they built was designed to reduce the thermal signature off your head, which is a chimney. Anyway, we're at the top. We gotta go. God bless the Republic. Yeah, for the new world order we shall prevail the Empire's on the run. We're on the march. We'll be back tomorrow at the same time. Say a prayer please for Larry Lawson. He's got some issues right now need to take care of. Let's ask for help and force Frank Nuneet. God bless, guys. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. And into our heritage, what's our pride? Since when the free Americans call for the other side? Since we sent food to Hitler's troops, our praise the enemy. Did all our children die in vain, defending liberty? And there's a race, Washington and Jefferson are crying tears of shame. We'd rather live in our current fields that take it.
