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 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'll 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 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 watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Art Krunke 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 northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on LibertyTrader.4mg.com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the hallmark network on Eastern Z-Board from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida to the ark of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana and Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd to 5th pit and our friends in Colorado. Waving the left coast, we turn back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land of the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge. Where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, ok teams, and the Ma Bell Gramma Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million petticoat junction operators. That's what we need. That's what we need to build. Do your part from your direction and we'll connect all the dots progressively. It is windy. We've still got this storm front blowing back and forth. Wind has changed four times today at least in a significant way as it rolls across the lakes. It goes across our peninsula, hits the other lake, and repeats. Again, just changed direction. We had it coming straight out of the north. Now they're coming out of the southwest for a little bit. Earlier due east, and in fact it's been quite a whirlwind. So typical for the odd year out, the odd number of decades. This cycle is about the 45 or 48 year cycle that we're being hit with this year. Again, another warning. We've had beautiful, wet weather. lots of wet weather. In fact, there's been no discussion about how much water went into the Great Lakes. You'll notice that this year. They just keep using obsolete data. There's a reason for that. Water levels are all higher across the board on a massive scale. So we've got water where everybody thought they wanted it. We've got it cleaner because, of course, a number of different things they absolutely demanded to be done. Well, guess what? We have Shifts in water temperature, etc., which are traditional by the way. And now we're getting the kind of weather you get when you have the lakes you want. So pick a direction on this one. If you get one, you get the other. And the weather pattern that's taking place right now, this is the same cycle that hit the Edmund Fitzgerald back on the 10th of November, 1975. And, of course, today's date, well, as we know it is a lot later, but by what, one week, the 18th of November? It is the fifth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a 2013 Old Earth calendar or Mayan Crazy Town, Crazy Town calendar. We all know how that works. Well, it's been a busy, busy week and here it is only Monday. As a matter of fact, the weekend went very well for everybody. The artillery demonstration, two gun tubes and a mech unit were on the ground. First, a Camp Nagy Hitchem for light demonstration and then a mobility demonstration with the deep ranges at the Oghama range site. So that was pretty cool. Everybody had a good time. 9th Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marines were the host and they had a light mech attack unit out there. to demonstrate combined arms team operations. Of course, this last 24 hours here we've been actually experiencing what is perfect unconventional warfare weather, guys. This beastie weather right now, this is when you'd be fighting. This is when you'd be hunkered down. This is when you're going out, find the enemy and engage and destroy. Why? Well, you take a look overhead and tell me what kind of support you think the other side is going to get. Oh yeah! So this inclement weather is your friend. Extreme inclement weather is your good buddy. Is that yeah? It's your bunk mate there kids. That's the kind of real estate weather you want so that nothing can be seen and pretty much nothing can be heard and by the time it is it's too late anyway. So for both infiltration and exfiltration is especially critical. You have inclement or bad weather, that's the time you move. That's when you engage and you pick the time and place and you act accordingly. So for all of you team leaders and commanders out there, I will remind you that don't lament about this. You better be embracing this weather. That's what everybody else is doing this weekend. Anyway, let's see what else we have on the list of things to do. JGSales.com, before I forget, JGSales.com, www.jgsales.com. Now the reason I bring them up is, I don't know how much of the shot shell ammunition they have left, guys. A couple different people contacted me and said, hey, they picked up this stuff that was 12 gauge double out buck. And there's some number four. I don't know how much of the number fours left. Our guys were buying it up as quick as they could. But there has been some pretty good buys on 12 gauge ammunition for you guys out west, JGSales.com. Well, they did some range firing with the stuff this weekend, and they were very satisfied with the end result. So congratulations. Again, good printing, but real consistent. We're doing paper printing for Target, especially house to house. and room to room clearing with the variable geometry structures one of the things that I do is recommend we use the paper hanging sites so that when you actually are using the rounds you get a very you get a very uh... confer comparable print for anything you know whoever makes a mistake it's going to be obvious Eventually, the building modules are relegated to battle-damaged urban warfare areas where we let them fall into disrepair. But the majority, actually, because everybody's doing their part and because of the bullet stops that are used inside the urban warfare complexes, they're variable geometries. We can disassemble them, put them back together in whatever configuration you want, and use them again. And nobody gets used to the idea that the system is always the same and they just know which corner something's going to pop out of. It doesn't work that way. However, what I was told, this particular load seems to be pretty darn consistent and opens up well at intermediate and short ranges. So without having to do anything special, it was a good choice. I don't know how much or if they even have any left. A couple of guys said that they told their friends out there towards Prescott, hey guys, run over and grab a bunch for us. And I think they may have because I don't see it on the front page. It was there this morning. Oh boy, you guys move fast. That's all I got to say. Anyway, wow, looks like you did. Well, we'll find out more. And again, the shot shell section is where you'd be looking for that. It was on the front page, 12 gauge ammunition. And let's see if they have buck in what they do have left. Now they're not showing, I believe it was a Spartan or a Centurion load. I don't see it right away, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. They got the Spartan down below. There we go, I think this is it right here. Yes, 12 gauge Spartan double out buck, 9 pellet, 2.7, 2 and 3 quarter inch. 250 round case for $99.95. So $100. What did you say $100? And again, 250 rounds, $100, and that must be it, the Spartan. It's item number 5-1941C. Everybody was really happy with this stuff. It worked well with the gas guns. But with the pump guns, especially the trench guns, you know in the 20 inch barrel like we've always talked about with all the other fixtures and trimmings, this was a very happy load to work with for the weekend and again economical. So guys, maybe you've had a better deal. I don't know the silly billet as we say, salabello. was cheaper at one time, but that doesn't look like it's pretty bold back up there. Anyway, that is how they've been loading quite a bit. So there is an option, a number of different options that are available, but go to www.jgsales.com Spartan 12 gauge double lot buck 9 pellet 2 3 quarter inch, 250 rounds for $100 and the item number is 5-1941C. That's 5-1941C. Let's say thanks to our guys with the Lake State Militia for the feedback on that. They weren't the only group that was using it, but everybody got a chance to shoot some of it. And I got a little quick message on that. Say, hey, heads up for everybody. So good job. And I seem to recall the guys mentioned this about two weeks ago that they picked this stuff up. I didn't know where it was going to be used, but apparently for the combat shotgun range, it was put into service this weekend. All the holes were collected. Nope, it won't be any good to go up to the site. Naga-Hitcham and Ogama are scoured for their brass and for their steel and their aluminum and their shot shells. Nobody leaves anything behind. It's carried away at the very least. They police the brass. It goes to the unit armory. The unit armory, the site armory there, everything is subdivided. They've got all kinds of containers. They're using five gallon pails for storage and three gallon pails. They've got a source up there that's with one of the ice cream companies, if you understand, which is pretty cool. Anyway, they've got everything that they need. If you're shooting your own brass or you're shooting your own cases, yes, you carry your own stuff away. There's nobody saying you've got to leave it or anything like that. It doesn't happen. So congratulations. And again, that's www.jgsales.com, jgsales.com, and that's the Spartan Double-Ot Buck. Now if anybody has a better deal on that, Come on up and let us know In the chat room if you want to or you come up on the air and by the way just to be safe Our phone number is 712-43-20900 That's 7124320900 957464 pound sign 957464 pound sign. By the way, let the guys know I have a whole pile of 4x8 foot walls finished and I will have another 5 or 6 of them done tomorrow. We're very resource rich and I'm trying to crank as many of these things out and get them into the system as I can. Now let me give you an example. Here's again that Spartan ammunition. I assume that's Greek. could be Turkish. I'm surprised if it says Spartan and it's Turks. That would be kind of weird. Anyway, the closest thing that's price-wise is $130 for 250 rounds. That's dynamite noble, the noble double-op buck. And again, Italy, noble, ammunition made in Italy, and it's 250 rounds for $30 more. Again, oh wait a minute though, well, okay, now I wouldn't do this very often, but 27 pellet number 4 buck, also $130 for 250 and it's the noble brand again, Blue Case, Blue Hall. If that looks like it's useful for your purposes, you might want to take that into consideration. The number 4, I lean towards double out bucks fine. I don't care. You flavor of the day kids. Whatever you get the most for the least. Most for the least, most for the least. I can't stress that enough. The double out buck, 9 pellets. That's 9 30 caliber pellets. So you dump two 12 gauge rounds down range. You've got almost a full mag of 30 caliber ammunition going down range. See and again for the price to get more into everybody's hands The wolf double out buck is running Let's see. Whoa nine pellets $160 so that centurion is actually the best price for the buck right now that I can see The next step up from that would be the from the same. This is from JG sales comm they do have some noble number four and number four buck and it's you know again thirty dollars more but it's two hundred fifty raw cases for a hundred thirty dollars so first choice for most for the least twelve gauge spartan double out buck nine pellet two point seven fine edge that's two and three quarter inch american guys uh... two hundred fifty rounds shells for one hundred dollars and that's item number five dash one nine four one c let's get it before anybody else and clear them out Seriously, I'm not worried about anybody. Whoever gets there first gets it. Anybody slow? Oh well, not my problem. Now another thing real quick on that one, they do have 762x54R, Moisin, they got ammunition in stock, and they do have, but I don't know, what is available in the way of, used handguns. Now, comp shop turn-ins, and one of the things that seeing, you know, JG Sales has been known for for decades, for more than a half a century actually. This is the year 2013. JG Sales has been around for a long time, and back in the 70s and 80s, police trade-in guns was their niche. That was their, they didn't have much competition in this. They had a really nice compliment of Smith and Wesson revolvers. Years ago I bought a Model 20 from them. Serial number 28 for the San Antonio Police Department. Now that's back when Smith used to custom, and Colt used to do this too, they would custom serial number the guns for the department. Which makes every one of those guns a collector's item? Especially since a certain number are shot out or destroyed taken by the cops carried away and stolen you know from that direction Any number of things happen or they just get lost I mean people Misplace things and they're gone especially since out West there's no paperwork on anything well the Smith Model 20s the 41 magnums When the movie Dirty Harry came out, a little history for you guys. Remember they had Magnum Force, the one that came out with the Dirty Cops. They were murder-enrolating drug dealers. Heaven forbid we should do that. Drug dealers need respect. And of course, the government criminals do too. Oops, wait a minute. That's one on the same usually. Well anyway, they were talking about these guys carrying a .357 Magnum. What's interesting at the time is that the end frame, four inch, combat model 10 type flat sight, 41 Magnum was being issued. And at the time after they started to move some of these out, JG Sales ended up with them. And I'll tell you what, that 41 Magnum and a four inch with a battle sight was a comfortable end frame to shoot. So basically like the old model 1917 Smith and Wesson. except a full bull barrel, a straight bull barrel. So it looked like a Model 10 police on steroids. Very chunky, very comfortable. The 41 still delivered just about the same amount of energy on target when it hit. And back in the day, 41 Magnum was fairly available and affordable. I think that's the most important thing is that today, well, again, if you take a look at the price of 41 mag, it shouldn't be any more expensive than 44 mag. But, they are charging a hell of a lot more for a box of 41 mag than they are for a 44 mag or 44 Smith & Wesson Special. In fact, 44S and W Special should be cheaper than 44 Magnum. There is no reason for it to be more expensive than 44 Magnum. That is illegitimate right off the bat. Anyway, just an idea there. JG Sales has been picking up a few odds and ends. I would check. They did, but when everything jumped off this last year, guys, they had a number of Smith and Wesson revolvers. They all went quick. Once everybody started grabbing them, they didn't last very long. That shouldn't be a surprise. Oh, come on. For everybody out there, in the pistol section, they have both the Smiths in trade-ins, and they sometimes have Colt's. Not as often as we used to see, but they have had some. Now, I'm not looking for collector's grade. I'm looking for shooter's grade. And for everybody out there, oh, there's not much anything. Oh, but they do have. Smith & Wesson Model 10 Revolver 38 Special Blued 4-Inths Pencil Barrel. This is in the earlier barrel. Excellent condition. Used Smith & Wesson $230. And that's not a bad price for a Model 10 nowadays. I will tell you that the average price we paid was $75 to $100 per pistol. And a lot of the militia units here are carrying Smith Model 10s for that very reason because they're pretty reasonably priced. Lots of Rosses, Tauruses, You name it everything else out there in force and available if you look around you spill the fine Smith's Used we're going for 75 Taurus is new we're going for about 95 to 106 depending on the model in a K frame and Again somebody if you've got if anybody out there is listening and you've got a weapon system you've already committed to don't let somebody talk you into Oh, you need to get rid of that wheel gun and you need to get it. No, don't you do that? If you want another weapon, buy another weapon. But don't get rid of the weapon system you've built up. In fact, let's put it this way. You've got speed loaders, you've got leather, you've got shoulder holsters, you've got backup equipment for it, everything needed. You're set to go. Now focus on picking up maybe another handgun if you want to. You should have a variety. You should have a 40 Smith, a 45 ACP, a 38 Special, 357 Magnum combo. Then from there it's personal choice. 9mm would obviously be another one. I've talked about having high points for this reason, but there are on occasions some nice little weapons you can run into. Taurus' used to be cheap, not anymore. In fact, they're commanding the same price as Smith & Wesson's now, which to me it's like they're nice, but I was a distributor for Taurus, but nobody knew who the hell Taurus was. My older brother pointed him out, and you know what? The Model 66 Taurus, which is a K-frame, 6-inch, bull barrel, blued steel, not stainless. That gun was a tack driver, and in fact, one of the most comfortable in its class of the handguns set for that period and for the price. Now another thing, maybe you've got a Rossi on the shelf. There is nothing wrong with Rossi pistols. The biggest problem is try to find them. I don't know what happened to the company and I really don't have the follow up on that. Which is sad for the moment, but there are still Rossi's floating around their little J frames or in some cases K frames. Now the last big wave of Rossi's that came in were stainless steel. And in fact Rossi had perfected feeding off Smith and Wesson's experience. Rossi had developed an entire family of 38 special snake charmer type utility carry guns. I wouldn't have any problem if you handed that to me today, I'd hug you. The 6 inch J frame, 5 shot, equivalent to say a diamond back, but done in a Smith and Wesson frame by Rossi, is a beautiful firearm, 38 special. I wouldn't put any hot plus P's in it, I'd keep it standard load, 158 grains, semi-wad cutter for a lot of the work, maybe some jacketed hollow point, and certainly ball ammunition for a lot of what you're doing. But it's purely a matter of, again, experimenting with the gun. Obviously a lot of people when they were carrying these bought snake charmer loads back in the day, which are the shot shell loads. Not so much a people issue, although they will. Pepper your hind end and let you know something's wrong, depending on whether that's number 6 pellet or in some cases it was BB. Back in the day there were a number of different shot shell options for 357-38 and also for 44 Magnum. Many of those are now collector cartridges sadly enough because People did not, there wasn't an interest or a move towards maintaining that particular inventory. And again for game getting or for what they call snake charmer loads, a solution that definitely works. CCI had a series of black and then clear blue cap shot shells for the .357, .38 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 ACP, etc. They are not as dominant out there as they used to be, but they are still floating around. You see them? Don't consider them an anti-personnel. Consider those, again, a game getting or a small predator, underfoot predator, dispatcher. Not that the machete doesn't do the same job though and it's quieter. I would point out we had rattlesnakes on our property here when we first bought the property that we are on. We first bought this house. And what's funny is, I'll never forget this, I was in the kitchen and I look outside and on the north side of the house, and I'd already been doing work out there, we tore everything apart, put everything back together, and I put a rock garden on the, using all the rocks I had on the property. I put a little rock garden on the north side of the house, which is not on the sunny side, guys. I look outside and my mom has a hole in her hand and she is just going to town on something. In fact, I had never seen her beat on something that fast where she was just hacking and hacking and hacking. I couldn't see what she was hacking on, but she had that hole going just to town. Well, it turns out that we had rattlesnakes on the property. She came across one that decided to look like the stones were the place to go. So, she ambushed it right there in the driveway and, hack, hack, chop, chop, chop, hack, hack, hack, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, because she didn't want those rattlesnakes anywhere near any of the munchkins. Well, it turns out it was a rattlesnake. It had four little rattleberries on it already. It wasn't very big, but we killed two more progressively. So, for those who say, well, they're not rattlesnakes in Michigan, There are two ways we have rattlesnakes in Michigan. We do have a natural, occurring rattlesnake, which by the way, were one of the areas where they actually produce guys towards the northern part of Washtenaw County. They're out there in the boondocks. But the other problem is, as was probably the case here too, is people have been buying rattlesnakes, venomous snakes, and then they just kind of let them go. Well, they won't just let one or two go, they've been letting a bunch of them go. And so we have colonies of other critters out here that you need to take and keep in mind. One of the other reasons is you either have that game getting load or to make sure that you do have a machete slash a utility blade. Something that's not fancy, doesn't need to be pretty, but like the handgun, like we said before guys, that machete slash short sword It serves a lot more purposes than just hacking down foliage. Of course, it doesn't hurt on people either where the time comes if need be. Take off an arm if need be. But in this case, we're talking snakes, slithery snakes, not the black uniform snakes. Now, another couple things here with regard to, and I got the JG sales out. And again, thank you to the guys. Appreciate the feedback. That's something we get on the range. If something doesn't work, we need to know. If something works better than usual, we also need to know. A lot of people got a chance also to shoot the nagot rifles. They did that too this weekend. The nagot revolvers. A lot of people got a chance to feel them up and actually put them up there in front of them, put them into the combat stance and see how accurate they were. Everybody was astonished that even the crudest ones It's just simply feel great. We're dotting the I and crossing the T all weekend. However, it doesn't appear, other than maybe Cabela's and a few other places, does not appear likely you're going to run into too many Nagats right now guys as far as the Revolvers go. Perhaps it's something that somebody is selling. If you are serious and you've already got one on layaway, I would be buying ammunition wherever you can get it and continue to fill up ammo cans. Now I will remind you what I said years ago about these. They're an orphan gun, but they're a nice gun. They're very well made and they are very accurate. They're comparable to Smith & Wesson Model 10 in terms of performance. They are a military revolver, so they do work. and with regard to available ammunition, preview partisan, boxer prime, non-corrosive, is available, it's still out there, and Russian surplus military in the cans is out there. Now whichever way you go, spend whatever you can. If you've got the weapons, keep buying ammo. Even if all you can do is go to the gun show and buy a couple of paper wads of ammunition each time you go. In other words, take $20, put it off to the side. No matter what in your left pocket, that's for nay-got ammo. If all else fails, you're going to buy so many rounds of nay-got ammo. If something else you run into, it's more critical, maybe you get a chance to buy a new rifle or handgun that's a Liberty arm somebody's carrying in, that's a different situation. And you focus all your resources accordingly as you feel necessary. But if you're going through and you're sticking to your shopping list, make sure you take $20, put it in the left pocket, and in fact, earmark them so you know $20 for this rifle $20 for that handgun Whatever amount you can keep with in don't ever spend over. This is a basic rule about budgeting Whatever you can fit into that $20 amount. That's you know if it's $18 worth 16. That's fine And then take the change move that towards one of the other items But keep buying ammunition. The Nagat is an orphan. It's the Nagat revolver. Now the Nagat rifle is an orphan, but it's got a whole lot of buddies out there still. and pallets and pallets and pallets and pallets and pallets and pallets of ammunition because there's a whole bunch of belt-fed guns that were built for the same purpose and were military applied. So the cool thing is that there's lots of belt-fed ammo out there for the 7.62x54R also. So that's a good combination. Now when they were only $100 a unit or less, they were especially a good choice. But if you look at the prices now, You'll see what I've been talking about here for how many years now about price creep and just how it works guys and remember these are surplus and They're military surplus, which means that they always have some form of collectability something to think about there now Let's see. Well, we're oh we're way past the bottom of the art of your gonna worry about a bottom of the hour break I figured you'd been jumped on there already There was one more thing here, CenterfireSystems.com. That was the other one, forgive me guys. Again, well thank you Kentucky, also posting 440 round spam cans of 7.62x54R Russian Military Ammo, SG ammo.com. www.sgamo.com. Keep buying the NAGOT ammo. There is a reason for that. Again, I had this question about, well, I've got three people out fit and they don't have a whole lot of money. Well, the NAGOT is still the most affordable. It's the K-98 of the day. Back years ago, I was buying K-98s for $40 apiece, ammunition for half a penny to three cents a round all day. Tons of it. You might recall that in the 90s, 1600 rounds of ball ammunition for a whopping $60 to $80 for the whole stinkin' case. Right now, one bandolier from that same can is running about $80. One bandolier. So most of you who listen, you can't cry or shed any alligator tears at all if you went and bought that 8mm ammo when it was available. Well, for now, the 7.62x54R, which is a supremacy round, it is a battlefield superiority round. Considering you've got the Nagats, we've got Vepers, we've got SAGAs, we've got some of these new Zavasta rifles coming in. They're in 7.62x54R, 7.62x51NATO. 7.62x39 so they're in a wide range and they're in a medium, long barrel but still a medium barrel and that they're a 20 inch or 21.5 inch barrel that seem to be coming in. Again, that 7.62x54R is a main battle rifle cartridge. Greater than the .308, just a little less or a little under the .30-06 but comparable to the .06, built in the same era. In fact, years ago we built as much ammunition for the ZAR and for that rifle as we did for our own army in our .30-06. Oh, you didn't know that? Well, you should do a little history about General Electric building the Model 91 Nagot rifle. Some of you out there might even have a GE Nagot. Oh, and the cool part about those, guys? Those are pre 1898 rifles and do not require an FFL. It's a Model 91. That's right! And if they're GE, oh yeah, that's right. Remington Arms also made them. Yep, those Nagats are out there if you look around and they don't require any paperwork. They're a pre-98 rifle if they're the American made versions. Now, other couple of things here, and again, sgmo.com, sgmo.com, sgmo.com, this is 1970s Russian military surplus, possibly corrosive. Let's put it this way. When I see the 70s, remember the 70s, the Russians weren't throwing anything out. Mercuric primers were not considered bad by Russian standard. The other issue is they would not be throwing anything away. So while it's supposed to be non-crosive, or maybe listed as non-crosive in some cases, let's assume the worst and we won't be disappointed. If it's in the 70s or early 80s production, then figure that chances are there are some oxidation issues. So you clean your weapon, you fire it, you clean it. especially where you're getting these beautiful new Beppers and these Sega rifles guys beautiful actions Russian made very correct very crisp One of the guys was just raving about his Sega On the range of this weekend at a 7.62 by 54 are with I think it's the 26 or 27 inch barrel With the oh forgive me. It was a pepper rifle. Was it pepper? Yeah, it was a pepper rifle and Taking it out to a thousand yards Everybody was just like, man, that thing is a tech driver. Now, again, the guys had a little time to shoot, but think about this. With a 7.62x54R, he can afford to. That's right. So anyway, and then of course, reloading has been the other thing he's been getting into, especially with brass case, boxer primed, heated kneel, premium partisan brass. So for utility work, the ball rounds out of the can. And for specialized long long long range work, well, custom bullet and a little bit of your favorite IMR powder and that 760 by 54R has no flash, no muzzle flash and prints. First time every time on target. And the time to target, minimal. Because you bring the energy up a little bit too. Now you got the tough as nails in that respect. You go over a soft potato digger club, that's what it is. And it works just fine. Now, let's see, what was the last thing? Forgive me guys, there's been a long list of stuff this weekend and I just got in from outside and there was one or two other items and I don't see... Let's see if I can go this way. Forgive me on this one. I got the email, I want to say thank you to the guys, I appreciate the feedback. I'm also on the radio operations this weekend. I have not talked to Captain Monahan. I do know that the grid was up, I think, the propagation, and it's interesting because we've had a really bright moon. And a bright moon usually tells me that we've got a lot of solar activity, I mean bright, bright. Have you noticed that? Even with the cloud covered last night? In that respect, it was very reminiscent of what happened the night the Edmund Fitzgerald went down guys. But we had the high weather, the temperature stayed medium, but the wind went back and forth and back and forth. Another unique effect was the bright moon overhead through the cloud cover, which in and of itself changed dramatically the perspective and the dynamic of the imagery last night. I mean just beautiful, beautiful. I didn't use a camera, I should have probably tried, but I don't think the camera would do it justice. It's one of those things where you need to watch, observe, and learn, but it's inspiring to say the least. Again, the act of God and his evening paintbrush there. So with the weather changes and all the stuff, all the variations we've seen, One of the things the dynamic of illumination and lighting dictates that even without night vision, if you have a decent piece of glass, a wider collecting lens, especially for the front lens at night, last night would be a lot of what we've been seeing with regard to other activity to include the fact that that solar activity should have been greater and caused more interference. Apparently it did not. Post everything I've gotten so far has been positive feedback. I haven't a chance to look at the solar charts. I know there's been some really cool discussions. about some of the other subjects near and dear to my heart with regard to sci-fi. In fact, what was really cool, Henry posted on from the Trenches World Report one of the comparative charts. If you haven't seen these before, what if we were to take all the spacecraft from the war games, from Star Wars, Star Trek, Lost in Space, Babylon 5, you name it, if it's out there and it was in Hollywood or it's in written form in sci-fi, it's an order of battle imagery chart. This one's really cool, although I couldn't expand any more than I did with the screen I've got. I've seen one of the smaller ones, but this one included a lot of other ships that are unique to certain war gaming operations too. It's neat because it gives you a perceptive scale to work with. If you understand how big the Enterprise is and which Enterprise, that's what you have to ask first, Star Wars with the different ships, etc. The argument being that we should have a space fleet by now, or probably we might have one covert, I would point out that we have a massive submarine fleet. Most people don't realize how many subs we actually operate. It is actually more intricate and complicated to maintain a submarine underwater than it would be in vacuum and space. At least it's comparable, let's put it that way. What's fascinating is that we don't think twice about the idea that we can jump in a sub and guys spend six months underwater never surfacing. You know that? Think about it. Of course now we have Snorkel and all the other technology and we've upgraded dramatically the environmental control systems on board a sub. It's not the misery it used to be. But consider that everything you see that's been proven out with submarine technology would apply to space technology. Oh man! Now just imagine if you took half the price of, and still came up with the same production of units. If you took half of the submarine fleet and just decided you were going to go up instead of staying down under the water, what if you were going to go up instead? Wow, that's scary thought, isn't it? Yeah, I know, I know. And it is kind of fun to think about, but also Well, where would you go with it? What would you build? How far along would you go? Because there's really the cool thing about that comparative scale sheet is to show you some of the ideas that have already been presented by, you know, through science fiction through Hollywood. The Independence Day flying frisbee is in there, you know, the city size flying frisbee, etc. Which remember wasn't the biggest. That wasn't the biggest that they had in Independence Day because there was the mothership. Oh boy. And that was just one big cockroach haven that had to be destroyed. Well, unfortunately it was destroyed. Well, in theory it was destroyed. Anyway, enough on that for the moment. It's fun, but again, a couple of other things. Now, I know I've seen some of the stuff. Strangely enough, coming out of New Mexico, has anybody noticed this? More and more, we're getting blurps from New Mexico. which in and of themselves are while they're trying to be informative, they're almost like, you know, it's a people who resist, you'll be absorbed routines. And that's something that needs to be, you know, we put an end to. We're gonna have to talk to the people about that. We'll get back and forth with them as soon as we can. But again, New Mexico is starting to heat up. Now going a little farther south, oh no way, but going a lot farther south, most everybody has probably seen, the information about the systematic eradication of the cartels by individuals down in Mishkoan and what's happening there with the latest activity from one village to the next where they've gone into another area to clear out the cartel that was operational there. Now there's arguments back and forth about who's outfitting who, but I would point out Mexico has done this before. Let's not forget Viva la Revolucion, 33 and a third revolutions a minute, that's what Mexico used to be famous for. Now the corruption from the drug cartels supported by the US government in Mexico and the Mexican drug cartels slashed the Mexican government, the federales, have been in contest a little bit and they continue to maintain the farce But let's be honest, if you have 100,000 or 200,000 defectors from the Mexican military, where do they go if they're off the books? Well, they went to the other army. The other sometimes government supported army when they have to and then otherwise for propaganda they might get rid of a few operations. But again, the resistance or should say the formations, I don't like the way the story was written because It implies that these people were doing something wrong and it's like, no they're not. They're taking back their community. They know that the cops are corrupt. They know the military is corrupt. The only way they're going to get rid of this level of corruption is to get rid of all of the criminals at the same time or at least put them in check. That's what the government of course doesn't like and doesn't want because, well that's the old story of the competition thing. You don't start stealing. The government hates competition. Well, these people aren't stealing. They're just trying to maintain and protect their integrity, their liberty. So expect to see more of this. They've already done the expose reporter pieces, but that doesn't mean anything. In fact, most likely they're going to turn and flip-flop on this and start peeing on the people who are revolting against the cartels. That's because it's bad for business if the cartels aren't moving dope. Bad for government business. Bad for the prostitutes that work for the control press. Oh, that's right. Anyway, we're headed towards the top here again. libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.4mg.com. You know what, I had a package, I screwed up, and I don't know how it is, I only put three numbers on the zip code, so they decided that that wasn't complete, so I got a box back, it's supposed to go to the west side of the state, it will be gone tomorrow with the rest of the, I don't know how I did it, I actually don't know how they got it, they didn't notice it themselves. But anyway, so we had to pick that up real quick and I have to scribble with the big Crayola black magic marker. The rest of the zip code, get that out of the box so it will go down the road. But sorry about that. It would be just a day or two more delay, not even that. If everything goes well, Nancy might have even gotten in the mail tonight. And that will mean it's in motion. So pay attention there for our friends on the other side of the state. That was just a visitor from the past and let's see. Let's see American Peril 1. There we go. That was one I know of. Everything else that seems to be going through fine. We just shipped out a bunch of boxes and we do have some people that I've got to go through the PayPal, look to see what we have left in the way of anything that needs to be filled. Hopefully some people have been starting to get the next wave of key rings. Always pay attention guys. There's not just key ring in the envelope, you know that. grab whatever else is there, make copies, post, and or share in whatever way that you can. Also, and I guess I better do this, yes we do have my name on Facebook, Mark, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. If you'd like to be a friend, then come up and tag accordingly, make a friend's request, and we'll do what we can as quick as we can. It shouldn't take but a minute or two, but I've got to have you guys do the friend request from the other direction. So let me know. If you want that, then we'll make that happen. Again, that's Facebook and Mark, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. Art of ding, do we have a caller before we take off for at least a break? And star six, unmute yourself. Again, it doesn't seem like it, but it is Monday. But Monday is already clicking away, guys. I would remind everybody, too, as far as fruit and other vegetable production, if you're farther down south, apples are still coming in in the forest. But I would remind you that pears and the pear pectin, especially if you are looking for building up a regular regimen for food storage and food production, especially canning. Guys, you can produce your own pectin and, amazingly enough, those pears. And there's one or two other plants, but the pears offer the pectin that you need for stabilizing a lot of the other fruits and stuff, depending on how you want to store them. So you can make it yourself if you harvest from the machine, from the system. or you can buy it commercially and act accordingly, especially if you're doing cellies and all kinds of other stuff or you want to firm everything up. So, say something to think about, it's not critical. You can go either way with regard to the canning, but again, the advantage of the pear trees, we're trying to ID and mark a bunch of them. I found a couple more. There are freebies. As a matter of fact, I got Oh, one bucket full there in the fridge and I'm probably going to chop those up and make, I think I'll be making some pear butter or we're going to be making some, and we'll probably make some freeze dried or dried pears when the time comes. We've got a little freeze dryer project going on. One of our friends nearby has got everything hooked up. We're actually going to see if we can crank that through. What has always happened is the durability of the seal system that you use to keep everything secure. And there's a number of tricks that we don't work. We just have to plug everybody back in for an evening's worth of effort to test and experiment. And then we'll have to... Ah, here's the music. We're going to go to break. God bless the Republic. Yes, the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in a march. We'll be back just a little bit here for the second hour of the afternoon. Intel report is Monday. I'm glad they weren't around to say get out of Valley Ford. I should have done it in tears of shame. These men would rather live as slaves.

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. Invist 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 and 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
