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 Tyrant. 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 labor 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, home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news or 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 and 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. preserve our great republic and each god give and write. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god give and write, 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? This next ab... Good, my voice there? Yes. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Hrinky. And I'm Don Bechrer. 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 will listen to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com We're on AM&FM Microstations CB base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the homework network on the eastern seaboard, top of me, bottom of Florida. Bottom of Florida, across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Fifth and Fifth and our friends in. the recall of Colorado waiting to the left coast. We turn back to the east week across the plains, leak over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant curies, grandma teams, okay teams. And the mob, elgramic consortium of retired telecommunications workers brings us the golden spike. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junctions, the ability to continue to function, what everything else is offline. Well, It has been pretty busy here today. It is Monday. It has been gray or cast, but medium in terms of typical fall day down here in this end of the state. What is it like in your neck of the woods and what is the day today, sir? What is the day of the wall? On this 25th day of November, year of our Lord 2013, the secondary roads are dangerous. It's cold outside. It's that wet, moist cold that we talked about also last week. It's kind of if you're not ready for winter, a dangerous kind of day. And if you've forgotten how to drive in the winter, you might have been one of those people we saw off on the road there. So if you can plot your course, stick to the main roads. You guys, I don't know how much this blew up into the north of Wisconsin and over into Minnesota and Dakotas and whatnot. But these are words to live by in the upcoming winter. How does that go? If you want to get good gas mileage, you touch that pedal like you've got an egg between your foot and the gas pedal, that's a way to leave hard from the light. Launch hard from the light when everything is really slippery. I used to outmark, people might not believe this, but I used to leave the light in a van with nothing in the back, faster than a lot of people in their, oh, Mustangs or Chevelle's or Impala's or whatnot, other rear wheel drive cars, because it'd be pushing on the gas and I'd just be breathing on the gas in that initial roll out to try to get you going and then just a little more breath on the gas to try to get you up to speed and eventually you're there. But the thing to remember is once you're there it's a long, long way to stop and you can't throw out an anchor and dang darn and turn them studs in your tires are illegal in almost every state now. But it is the 25th day of November. You asked Mark, I had to talk and elaborate there. It's just kind of what we do. Yeah, in fact studs, most people may not remember them if you're younger, but guys we used to have both metal first and then plastic actually, nylon, which were wearable. That was the solution for the studded tire industry. And what the logic was, there were two ways that they were done. Most people just had them installed in the tires and then changed out when things got to the thaw. In other words, the studs literally were every so many inches on the tire, on the grip, and in situations where you had a lot of backcountry with ice or with snow, it gave you the cleat and grip that you needed to get up the hills and places where everybody else would be sitting down at the bottom of a hollow stock. And especially critical in Michigan where we like Wisconsin and Minnesota despite how our Communists have become, the weather hasn't changed. I'm sure that the political correctness is such that the ambiance of the concept of studded tires alone is a dramatic sin that will be punishable by what? Oh, that's right. It'd be a liberal hell. $180 ticket the first time, and you better, we're going to tow you away because we don't want your tires wearing out our road. $180. Except that then they went from when they argued this about the steel, although some were aluminum right off the bat, which meant, you know, the aluminum lost on the metal, on the pavement regularly, guys. I mean, it was, it didn't get lost. In other words, if aluminum strikes asphalt or whatever, there's about an equal wear there. But then the logic was, okay, fine, we'll come up with a replaceable cleated stud that actually the way it worked guys is they inserted the same kind of fixture that they used for the other stud but it had an insert with a female thread and you could screw in nylon wearable studs. In fact you could buy a complete set extra so that at the end of the year after you looked at your tires and said wow I think I wore these out you could take your you know tool and on the screw or you could take a player pliers and unscrew each of the studs and reinstall them. So it was really kind of cool and the solution was you know, credible it worked But of course, you know the way they worded it heaven forbid that we should have some kind of aggressive tire Things that the state couldn't do or didn't want to do is what it comes down to So, you know what? I think the next federal mandate mark is uh, oh gee I don't know what but you know analog brakes were a federal mandate airbags are a federal mandate all of these things that result from not being able to stop before you get out of the car It's not so much a map, you see, because they actually had an aggressive grip. So it worked both ways. Get you up the hill or slow you down a lot faster so you didn't run up on that other person. But heaven forbid, that should be in place. And let's not forget the chains are still out there. Just a lot of people hate putting chains on and taking them off, etc., etc. But for what they are, especially in the mountain countries and such, chains are just as common today as they were 50 years ago. Anybody who knows how to use them and big truck drivers know full well the value of a set of chains. So, in fact, typically the big trucks will have a whole lot of special kit work that you know is done so that they package them right next to the wheels, pop open the door, a little bit of motion, roll them back over the chain to the center, and then they bring the, you know, stir up them around, hook them up, and they're down the road. In fact, it takes very little time for a person who knows what they're doing to actually put chains on. There again, metal on asphalt. Or metal inside the wheel wells of some of the fatter, tired cars these days. It just goes over to the right tool for the right job. Thinking of that, I was about 14 years old, Mark, looking at a guy with the International, and we were going to go camping. I looked and said, well, how come they don't build a four-wheel drive van? He looked at me like I was an idiot and said, well, they're too big. That would be too big. But I remember the war wagon, some of you 50 caliber shooters might remember the war wagon that Skip Talbot used to drive. That was a four wheel drive, full sized Ford van. And it would go almost any place that dinky little jeep that the guy was trying to imitate with his, oh what was that, an international, only slightly smaller than a full sized van, Mark. But the guy says, oh, it would be way too big. But now even the minivans, many of the minivans are four wheel drive. Yes, or in all the term now rather than using four-wheel drive would sound so uncouth and so so I'm trying to vodge now It's all we all we're yeah four-wheel drive just sounds way too country don't it? I love it all wheel drive. Oh my god I have an old wheel drive cop You can't have an Audi I mean put your index finger under your nose and lift it about three-quarters of an inch You can't have an Audi with four-wheel drive. That's right. That's all wheel drive. Yeah, it's all four-wheel drive What do you have six wheels or something? I miss up here. I want under the car. I missed maybe five No? Okay, well it was four wheel drive then. No! You can imagine the pucker factory going up there and the thrashing and the gnashing of tees and running of air of course. So, the other thing here too is we are headed into the season where we're going to be seeing, again, a lot of the white stuff. The freeze is already out. We don't have a deep, deep freeze. We've got a crust right now, but it's working. And what we talked before about frost line. Progressively, guys, if we continue to see the drop as we're seeing it, which is a normal, actually it's been a pretty reasonable fall so far. We're looking at a normal freeze. I've been putting the shovel in the ground here. And for instance, I wanted to get some more plants in. I was hoping to get some more. I'm going to have to put them in. I don't want to get them in the green room. They'll be there for the winter. But I got a whole bunch of greenery for free. In fact, a couple, well, more like $300, $400 for free. Simply because it was the end of the season, like I said, watch for the stuff they're getting rid of. I got most of it in the ground, but I can get all of it in the ground. If I were to get it in the ground, I had to get other stuff out of the way. And that means, again, so much excavating or chopping and hacking, mostly just chopping. So we're right at the edge of that. And if you've got anything left to do for garden support in the freeze zone, remember, guys, if you've got carrots out there, just go get a couple bales of straw, cover them up. Remember, you can go harvest carrots all through the season. As long as you've got them covered, even when the snow flies, go out there, take a broom, push away the snow, move the straw around, pull the carrots out you want, put the straw back in place, and even bring the snow back over. Works like a nice refrigerator for you. But that is one of the solutions that is actually quite reasonable with regard to what we are seeing here with the, again, up and coming season a lot of people are just not getting everything done they wanted to. I'm not. There are a bunch of things I'd still like to accomplish and probably not going to get into play before the real weather flies. We've got a lot of it accomplished. And the other thing too is cold weather gear in the car. Cold weather gear in the car. Shouldn't have to say it, but people get into box mode. And so then the first time they really get smacked in the face or with a good stiff walk somewhere, then they realize, oh man, I should have brought. Well, we're going to try and prevent that by just reminding you it's not a big deal. Take the coat and the hat and the gloves along. If you don't need them, fine. But if you do, Well, you'll be thanking Mark a little bit and Dom because, well, we just kind of reminded you, we shook the bush a little bit there. Hey, by the way, the only good thing is we're heading toward... Here's the thing. This is not true the farther south we go the more you're going to see wet cold still and this is the most dangerous time in that respect but now we're getting into cold freeze and people are more inclined to have what they need on their person as far as at least something to cover their body. But remember the layer system also guys, long johns, woolens or you know cotton doesn't make any difference are a big plus Again, a amount of calorie loss. You'll get used to the idea, especially if you're military. We've lived in them, the military guys. Long john, top and bottom. That's the next layer over your short clothes, in other words your t-shirt and your underpants. It's just the natural layer that alleviates a lot of the other problems that you'd run into cold weather wise. Spare gloves, spare mittens, can't emphasize enough. MainMilitary.com, they still got the Swedish mittens. As far as I know, when they're gone, they're gone. But for $3 a pair of brand new in the plastic, you can't beat them. I highly recommend them. And that's actually what I carry is my backup inside the backpack, my combat pack. So just a reminder there for everybody. Anyway, I tell you what, Don, jump in there please. If you could, and we've got a bottom of the hour break coming up in about 8-9 minutes, if you could take over for a little bit, I've got to go check on something real quick. Gentlemen? Because we've got stuff going on here. Go ahead. Oh, I think we've got somebody in the background. What do we have? This is Joe from the Carolinas. I figured now would be a good time to come up and say hey to everybody. Hey, Joe. How are you doing? Hey, doing very well. Mark was talking earlier about winter gardening, and I wanted to let folks know that I actually host the gardening show on Liberty Tree Radio. And I appreciate Mark and Don there. And so we're up at Tuesday at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Mountain, and 4 p.m. Pacific. So 7 p.m. Eastern. It's a live call-in program. And basically the name of the program is Grow Your Own, The Budding Revolution. And we've had a lot of callers come up over the past few weeks. If you'd like to listen before tomorrow night, archives are available at IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com forward slash Grow Your Own. We've just been having a lot of fun on air, Don. We've been talking about gardening and we're going to continue our program tomorrow night actually in winter gardening. We're really talking about greenhouses and wherever else the callers want to take us. Something to tune into, you guys. We've been talking a lot and basing a number of thought lines on the scientific American magazine be at the mind mostly as of late. A green thumb can be cultivated, can't it? The thing about it is, in the latest issue, you wonder how that turned that way, they talk about a genius. Some people are born by being specialists or by studying and being really open-minded, so to speak, and that's not a thing about liberal at all. You can cultivate a genius. But the thought line is here, you can cultivate a green thumb too, can't you? you can get better at being a gardener. Most certainly. Yes. So again, there are ways to do it and there are answers and you know, oh, Larry who runs on Tuesday night with Mark would say, well, the first year I put in a garden it was worthless and the next year it was better and I pretty much got the hang of it after four or five years. Now he might have had said two or three years, but that's worst case scenario and some people never really get the hang of it and you know, it's good to have somebody pointing in the right direction. That's the point here, you guys. seven o'clock on Tuesday's? Yes, and the goal, overall goal of the show, turn those black thumbs green. Yeah, it's one thing to get your hands dirty, but it's another to know why. This is true, you guys. This is like, you guys, an analogy is a lot of you can pick up a gun and shoot it, and generally, most of you can hit the target and pick up the gun and shoot it, but can you service the gun? You know, we've asked that question. Now, this goes right down to, can you take that trigger group apart? Wowee, do you really know how to take six, that gun or keep that gun clean right down to the little dinky little things. That's what gardening is too because right down to the dinky little things is whether you're going to put things away this winter or just eat everything up in a moment. That's a start. Well Don, the United Nations sees food as a weapon and we've known that for years. Yes, we've addressed that. We in the militia know food is a weapon as well. So folks, unfortunately I do have to sign off now Don, but I heard a couple dings. I hope folks will listen. Grow your own. on Tuesday night, 7 p.m. Eastern. Great, thank you. Thank you, sir. Well, God bless. God bless. And again, you guys, you know, Liberty Tree Radio goes throughout the day. There's other things that happen throughout the day and it might be good to pay attention to another reason to support Liberty Tree Radio because, you know, the intelligence report is there and it's there for a reason and there are other venues coming up. Liberty Tree Radio is starting to flow and we hope to continue to grow. That's always a good thing. minutes maybe from the bottom of the hour. I can't tell exactly from that wind-up clock on the wall there, but Mickey Mouse just keeps pointing in different directions, you know. It happens with the clock anyway. But maybe we've got another caller before the bottom. They'll unmute you. And we get no effect from that request, so we'll continue rolling along. different ways we can go. And I wanted to make a point of that, that there's a reason why I dragged that in and kind of mixed it in, you know, like mixing different things into the soil, like a garden, like you would do with a garden. Mix that thought in about cultivating genius. And we will have a bottom of the hour break and we can get running on this in a number of different directions with kind of what one might call shorts. You know, shorts like you hear, we tell you the difference between practice and training. You know, practices, you take the 22 out there in the yard and you set up your 100 yards. You know, a 100 yard scale to a 22 is very much the scale of a 50 at a 1,000 yards. If you're 22 at a 100 yards and you start to shoot, but training is when you've got somebody watching over you who has a good idea of what should be done in that moment, in that instant, and by which technique. And it helps you to correct the moment, the instant, and polish your technique. And then when you go back home and try to reinforce the things that your trainer told you, then you're practicing. So a whole lot of people, you guys, and this is reality, I'm not trying to beat anybody up, but a whole lot of people out there who tell themselves that you're training really are practicing. We've talked about, and it's a Monday, you guys, I know it's not a weapons Wednesday, but this subject goes over whether it's gardening or learning how to ride a bicycle or swimming. Now, you know, a whole lot of people know how to swim and they do that, you know, what is that, that overhand stroke, you know? But can you crawl? That's how a lot of people learn how to swim. Can you swim on your back? Can you do that brush stroke thing? Can you do all of the things that change your angles of attack so to speak and use your body ever so slightly different because man, I'm starting to hurt this way or I need to relax these muscles so I'll do something different but in the same thing. And you know with the previous example, I'm not trying to double talk you with that. I'll do something different but still be doing the same thing. Swimming in the direction I want to go but in a different way. That's what I mean. And again, we might be a minute away from that. the break now but hey we picked up a couple more callers during the difference. Star six will unmute you if you've got a question or comment you want to run along with us for a while. Again there's that pause for effect and I think that was long enough so any minute now we're going to go to the break prompting let's do this because Mark would say Don I just saw night vision and hey we'll do this fill some time across until we get to the break. If you want to talk about night vision you guys you can reach me at two three one seven nine six. We can talk about goggles or gun sights. We can talk about green screens or a thermal. Pretty much the standard, the same night vision we've seen since that one guy picked up that piece in green berets and said, let's see what starlight starbrite will do. That was first generation for sure in those days, but you could see the poor folks that were about to get burned down, dancing across the field there, couldn't you? We've talked about first generation being old technology. Hey, I can get your second, third, and even fourth if you want, but you know we talked about fourth last week and the drawbacks of a fourth generation tube. You can also talk about third, fewer, or a gun sight you guys. If you're looking in that direction, I'm more than happy to beat up the guy with the 800 phone number. My number is 3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8. Again, goggles or gun sights, you guys. Greens, screens are thermal. 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8. And I think we're just about to the bottom there, even according to the Mickey Mouse on the wall there, I think we're past that. So if Eddie wanted to spin that bottom of the hour break, we can come back and start taking some SharkBite chunks out of major issues here, okay? I don't want to get started on the subject and run it out for a minute when it's going to run for 10 or 12. But hey, you know, we could talk about that. We've addressed the SharkBite thing the other day and the difference between the knockout game, you know, something done by or a poor old innocent animal that wants to bite your leg off or the guy who has planned that even if it's just planned for the last 37 seconds. If you think you're going to do something and you do it, well that's kind of impulse in that time frame. You're standing at the counter and you pick the candy bar up and you pay for it too and you're munching it on it before you get home. That's impulse. But even to stand there and think, I'm going to do this, and you start walking toward your target, and you've taken four or seven, or you start stalking the target, and now you've been behind them for 37 seconds or a minute or three, and waiting for the right opportunity, that's not impulse anymore, is it? That's pure planning, isn't it? Well, we've addressed that. There's a number of different, you know, we could sit and pick that basic mentality, as again, planning is part of mentality, isn't it? Pick that mentality apart for a good, long time. the knockout guy who would lie to himself, here's another pick apart on that, and say, man, I'd be in, let's do it like this the homie way, because now I'd be a knockout artist, I've knocked out three of them guys, I just knocked them out. But you know, a homie lying to himself because a knockout artist, you know, someone who would think to be a knockout artist would tend to call himself a pugilist. That's a big, fine, long word. The one shorter word you may have heard over the years would be a pug. Not a punk. A pug. A p-u-g. That's a short. You hear somebody call themselves or that guy over there, he's a pug. That's basically a nickname short for a pugilist, which is a fancy name for a boxer or a fighter. Now in that group you will find knockout artists. You won't find many knockout artists sneaking up behind somebody. You see the difference? The knockout artist has that chance to be knocked out himself. All of his wages are on his best. He is there to parlay his ability into recognition, even fame. But to walk up behind somebody or to their quarter and hit them as hard as you can and watch them fall, that's not real. You can't call yourself a knockout artist. All you can do is call yourself a punk. There ain't no pugilist in there. There ain't no fighter in there. Think about it for just a little while and the basic psychology of it. Now, these are things that, oh, I did use that word, but we could talk about the basic way, the basic manhood of it. Y'all give them a drift there, boys. So with that in mind, we could pick that basic action apart for a good long time, and we did that a while back here a few days ago, didn't we? It's a Monday, so we could say three or four days ago. We did that. Spent a bit of time on it, and the overlook from both directions as if, as example rather, you know, Even a policeman said that we're not sure how many of these are happening and aren't being reported because unlike being in a fight, as mentioned just a little while ago, if you get knocked out in a fight, you probably wake up and you remember you were in a fight. But if someone comes up behind you and strikes you on or about the head so hard so viciously that they take your consciousness away from you, you might not. Chances are very well that it's almost impossible to remember the attack itself. So people are wondering, you know, Even policemen are wondering, police chiefs, the musing came over the air late last week about, we wonder about how many of these people are even reporting these things, this action against them. Because they just find themselves waking up from an unconscious state, gee, did I just pass out? Is something wrong with me? Do I need to go to the doctor? Kind of thought line. and we are well past the bottom of the hour and that was just little you know instant pick apart. And have we had the bottom of the hour break yet? No we haven't. Oh well just to remind you there we maybe had the bottom of the hour break but before we do or while we're getting ready to do so Don your number for night vision how can we hold you and what technology do you have available? Well thank you Mark we talked a moment ago about green screens and thermal and you know gun sights or goggles viewers or binoculars we can cover a broad spectrum there and you know to mix it all together. You guys we can talk about starlight or we can talk about thermal. I have a piece of thermal right in your mailbox under $2,000. Now that would greatly comment a group of green screen hunters. My number is 231-796-8458. Again 231-796-8458. Thank you Mark. and for everybody who hasn't had a chance to check some of the company's AIM surplus they have hand picked rifles for ten dollars and since they're sold out of most of the rifles, I just thought this was interesting, you would think that you would cancel out the $10 hand-picked fee, but apparently you can get $10 for hand-picked sold out if you want to. Kind of sad. But a reminder, guys, that a lot of the technology and a lot of the weapon systems, right now people are just methodically and patiently, I mean, step by step by step going through whole inventories. I talked to one of the guys, he said, oh, I've got several customers right now. The one thing they're doing is They've been directing everybody they know and they just hammer our production. Whatever we have, they should say their inventory, whatever they have, once they pick it, it's like locust. It just didn't count down the hours and the material's gone. This is especially true in handguns. I had a conversation about handguns. I was talking to several of the dealers today, the jobbers. Other than the cop shop trade-ins, Don, even general production, something's going on because we're not seeing it out there in people's hands. Whatever pressure is being put on from behind the scenes, they're starting to question it now. So there's a lot of other things going on, guys, that it could be. And one of the things I hadn't thought of, which we had a conversation about, does everybody understand that serial numbers are like an approved issued thing? In and of itself, the fact that they've agreed to the serial number registration process means that if somebody isn't willing to do the government paperwork, do you know they can stop them or put them virtually at a standstill with regard to being able to release the product? I hadn't even thought about that myself. It's like, wait a minute. Oh, that's true. There's a whole regulation here because if you're a manufacturer, you've gotten into that manufacturing license. Think of all the ways, not just materials, but what if you can't get your product out of the warehouse? It's like we said before, guys, what do they want? They want it centralized so that if they kick something off, they're going to be able to grab as much as they can. That's the thing that everybody's kind of wondering about now because the material is not moving the way that it should. When it does show up, it's in spurts or bursts and even there, it's not necessarily what the customer asked for. We're talking about the wholesalers and the FFL dealers. They're like, where did all this come from or how did we get this? Well, we'll take it because it's the old story, better to be able to sell something than have nothing on the shelf. You might recall back a few years ago, five years ago now, Center fire, classic arms, they had nothing on the shelf. Anybody remember that? We covered that step by step as it was going on. And lo and behold, but what they're saying now, there's a whole bunch of pressure being put on by the shysters and the regime. to restrict or hamper whatever motion they can. One of the things I want to mention again today, only because everybody's been looking for pistols, Aim Surplus has a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson that's a trade-in. It's the M&P model. It's in .40 caliber. Now, one of our friends is probably listening tonight, so I'm going to put out the word. We're looking for the same pistol magazine as far as the model, the M&P, but we need it in 9 millimeter. Now, apparently, When they made these for Smith and Wesson, they did a real great job of dumping out a certain number of pistols, but the 9mm apparently not so much. I kind of like to paraphrase, well actually, Firefly, some, not so much. In this case, what we need to do is find out who's got that cache of 9mm M&P Smith and Wesson Auto magazines. We don't care if they're 10 rounders or if they're 15 rounders or whatever guys. We don't care. We're not worried about that. But we have some friends that need more than the mags they've got and it's been hard trying to find anybody who has them in inventory. Now, tons of .40 caliber mags for this pistol, the one we're talking about, AIM has them for the pistol for $380 used, but apparently very serviceable. They've been moving them pretty quick. I don't know what they've got left or if they're even out by now. They shouldn't be out. But you never know. It's a good design, not my first choice, but for the price, reasonable for people looking for a 40 cal, a lot of people like Smith. It's a hammerless system and like the Glock in that respect just something to think about there and you know, so there's some other you know things taking a consideration depending on how you're trained with a handgun, but the No different from the Astra or a lot of the other weapons from the past and it's pretty prominent that you know It sticks one way half a dozen the other with regard to handgun design the big thing is it's a 40 cal and a lot of people don't have a 40 caliber pistol in their inventory and I highly suggest you have one at least because you are going to run into and be stripping 40 cal off corpses. You're going to see all three of the basics, 9mm, 40 cal and 45 ACP in force. Beyond that, it's going to be a catch as a catch can. You may see some 380s. I don't know how many 9mm Macarubs, etc., because the bad guys still got weapons in those calibers out there. A lot of third world countries that are coming into the country to chop us up will be carrying the weapons that they, you know, they're going to come with what they have at the dinner table already. They're not going to be getting any special silverware. Whatever they hit the ground with first will be what they moved in with quickly and what they have. Plus the ulcer, as much as anything, the bad guys can worry about familiarization. It's easier just to put them on the ground with what they've got and then progressively move them into other weapon systems if they feel the need. So that's the other thing that we can expect in the long run. 40 caliber, needles are safe. If you run into a high point in 40 caliber, good idea. But I'm not seeing, there's nothing in the $300 range, like 250, 300 that's around anymore. If you guys picked up any of the weapons we recommended before, you're head and shoulders above pretty much everybody. You saved about $100 to $150 per gun. There are a lot of other odds and ends. I don't think the caracals or whatever they are out there, and those, there's no magazines for. Everything that was out there is bought up. It doesn't mean they aren't out there. But the mags are in one corner of the country and the weapons are in another corner of the country and they are far apart. Again, track them down and you've got to scour the nation for that. Another thing too, with regard to night vision as we pointed out, any night vision, especially in certain situations, is going to put you ahead and shoulders above the competition. A lot of people, what's going to happen is not that they might not have night vision, the problem is going to be battery support, follow-up guys. So, those who are thinking deep and long term, wind. And I can't stress enough with the Donsk Night Vision technology, rechargeables and a multiple rechargeable system. Hand crank, wind powered, solar powered, off the wall plug, I don't care what it is, have several charger technologies on hand. And make sure they're all squared away. That's one of the things I've been doing here for the last couple of weeks is every chance I can as I find or track down another one of the chargers from going over them, making sure that they're squared away, trying to throw all the rechargeable batteries, first of all, in the same general direction because there's a number of pieces of equipment I picked up. We're stripping them out and taking all the goodies out of the package. and then testing them real quick and rating them. Even if it's a not so good battery, any battery is better than no battery with rechargeables. Remember that. Oh, and only get about half an hour out of it. Hey, that's better than dark screen, right, Don? Uh-oh. Yeah, plenty better than a dark screen. Sorry about that. But that's one of the things that is, I think, going to be the big jump up. as far as in the progressive ground contact operations. The scallywags and the brigands are not going to be ready in any way, shape, or form. They're counting on stealing from you or thieving from the general population. Well, if they're held back, remember, with each passing day, they're closer to starvation than you are. They're the ones that are running out of batteries. They're the ones that are running out of ammunition. So if you prepare it properly and you cooperate by organizing, arming, equipping and training as a militia, slash as a team, then you've got a big edge over them because you have the power base necessary to effectively defend. The big thing is know your terrain, signal communications, and be able to take care of the security for your area of operation 24-7. And that's why the night vision is so critical. We've had some really, I don't know, we've got to have some major solar flares. I haven't even had a chance to check, but I can guarantee we've got major solar activity because we've had phenomenal lunar illumination done. I mean, I don't know. Really, really bright, yes. Yeah, I've been going out. I haven't used a flashlight, guys. I've been working outside most of the night. And while we've had three-quarter, you know, half to three-quarter moon, it's been equivalent easily to a full moon brightness in terms of spec. In fact, they are definitely hunter moons, as they used to be called. Combine that with the first gen, there isn't anything you really can't see out there. Of course, don't stare at the moon, right? Oh, this is true. That's the brightest object in the night sky. You don't want to point your night vision at it. It's almost... Well, it's not near as bad as pointing your night vision at a fire though. Yeah, exactly. So let's not be staring at the campfire, you know, whether night vision goggles or monoculars on, and we're hooked up to our helmet, and we're, you know, getting our hands warm and staring at the fire and wondering why the night vision seems to be just getting fuzzy for some reason. I can't understand. You know, let's elaborate on that for a minute, because you might be moving with a group through an area, and somebody brings to your attention the glow of a fire off there in the distance, you know. Maybe there's somebody just there. There's a group of people there and they're sitting around the fire. Now think about this. There is a word called occlusion. Remember when Jean-Pierre orders someone to occlude the solar disk. A black dot appears over the star on the screen there, you know, on the starship deck. And everything immediately around the star becomes a lot more visible because much like a piece of night vision, your eye These both work along the same path, adjust to the brightest thing in their field of view. If you occlude the fire, you can look at other things around the fire. If you hold your hand out in front of you between your night vision device and the fire, you can probably cover up the whole fire. Then again, probably three or four times the size of the fire, so you take the immediate area of glow away. That would damage your device. You peruse. You ruminate, as if your life depends on it because it does in this instance if you wish to go up there and commune in one way, shape, or form or another with the people that are sitting around a campfire. Now, once you've done that, you've scoured the area because you know, sentries don't have to stand up, do they Mark? Sentries don't have to stand up like they're at post. Oh no, they're gonna be, the Opies, they're gonna be, if at all possible, Sneaky Pete, guys. You would, wouldn't you? Yeah, I'm not gonna stand up particular with a fire backlit lighting me. Now, what you do is you move at least a good portion. If you have communications, you can move a third or half of your group to 90 degrees of your area to the fire. Now you're looking at that same fire and occluding the fire, knocking the fire out of your night vision with your hand in front. If it's a simple monocular, you can do the same thing with your rifle sight, but it gets a little clumsier. Now, you've scoured the area for those sentries, haven't you? to the extent that you feel comfortable enough to move into a smaller perimeter around the fire. Now you're so close, but still you're far enough away that even if they hear the twig snap, they don't hear the twig snap. Not to be redundant or stupid with the words, but you understand. You're far enough away, but you can turn off your night vision now because almost everybody there is backlit by the fire, aren't they? 50 yards from the fire to the north and the other half of your group is 50 or 70 yards to the fire from the east or west. Boy oh boy, one can well imagine that not a whole lot of people will escape from sitting around the fire having a fun time instead of looking around. See how that works? That's a bad, bad example of not looking around and a real good example of taking advantage of it. I'll be quiet now, Mark. One of the other things to remember, probably the best example is backlighting. even without fire is probably the most common mistake made or back being silhouetted against the horizon is the most common mistake made by sentries but also personnel in the field. Remember we said you have no business being in the middle of the field in the first place unless you actually had to travel, you're forced by the very nature of the terrain to travel, to cut across an area or because of contact. But even there that would be very very rare using the contour of the land at least to try and break up so that three-dimensional you're still not an image identifier. We know there is the threat from the air. We understand that. That's a given. In fact, that's part of the fun about why we don't move into or across fields. But as a picket or a sentry, remember, always pay attention to your backstop. And where we said this before about shooting, watch your backstop. Pay attention to what's beyond the target you're trying to engage. Because of a mistake made, even if you do what you're supposed to do, that .30-06 round goes through one target and then follows up on another. So you need to pay attention also to your backstop. One of the things that one of our allies used to enjoy, especially since Tiger Stripe is used extensively, we have a lot of pine stand, a lot of pine forest here in Michigan. Typically he could move back, in fact, have done this over and over again. He could step back into a pine tree and the very nature of the lay, as long as you hold still, individuals would be virtually within arm's reach of him at night and had no clue or identified and were able to identify that he was there. But in the same breath he was signaling with a radio, not talking but using simply the push to talk and with no volume so there's nothing to hear at his end. But he could actually give a contact signal to identify that there was a threat moving through his area which is really all a picket are mostly a picket or LP or OP you're supposed to do. Listening post observation posts are not supposed to start World War III. They're to give you a heads up so that you can prepare for what's coming. And whether or not they're able to get back inside the perimeter or inside the envelope of control when the time comes is a question mark. Again, to conserve strength and force, they're better off staying put and if they haven't been identified, they can do more to provide follow-up intelligence as an aggressor is passed through an area once contact is made. How many are coming? How big is the body? What does it contain? That's right. They'll identify even the weapon systems being carried if supplemental heavy weapon systems are being provided. They're infantry weapons for the assault or the support or the ambush. Whatever, maybe a mobile ambush that they're trying to implement. How would one do that, Mark? By picking a good and building a good battle position. Exactly. Now, let's run back to a thought you were trying to express moments ago, two minutes ago, you guys, and understand the difference between the crest of a hill and the military crest. Exactly. Well, the thing is that that's another point. Remember the military crest is where you drop down from the point or the cap of the hill so that if you are standing or if you're moving, typically the terrain itself blocks or disrupts your pattern. On the other hand, this still can happen under certain conditions, but the point of contact can be very, very close. Typically, if you are trying to take control of the cap or the rise, the actual peak of an area, you become observable to all sides. It's just as observable as the peak. This is what it's like. It's called the lay of the land. Why do we call it a peak in the first place? Look at that top right there. I can see it. There's a sky and there's the land. From all points of the compass, you better keep your head low. That's a really strange peek up there. It's got arms and a head and it's carrying a rifle. I think I should shoot that one. That's not a peep. That's a guy. He doesn't look like he's wearing our cap. Yeah, exactly. So you see there again, the objective, again, military crest and reverse slope techniques. There's a number of different tricks that are used that are part of the SOP, standard operating procedure for deployment in rolling terrain. Or for that matter, and rolling train doesn't have to be too extreme. Remember, this is something where it can, if you have elevation and the aggressor or the opposition is moving from area through the lowland, this is something that constantly has to take into consideration. Now let me give you a little quick example of what the Israelis have been doing about this. Anybody out there notice the Super Shepho ID hats that the snipers and that the reconnaissance people are wearing with the IDF? Another way to describe them might be shapeless. Yeah, the mushroom hats. One of the hats that it comes down to is it literally is like a big overblown mushroom hat. Like a... A beret, but blown up. Oh yeah, a caricature beret. In other words, it drapes over the edge of the shoulder on either side and can be reconfigured. so that you can change the shape. Now the objective behind this is so that in the process of moving through an area, their argument was, and still is, that you don't have that typical flat surface with the bumpy spot in the middle that we all recognize an idea as a human silhouette. And this, of course, can change. Each person will not be identical, or each individual may change or reconfigure, make it a little bulky on one side, less bulky on the other, changing the contour progressively. But the idea behind this is that typically the individual is also, remember, in the prone position or is taking advantage of terrain, what we're talking about here. So breaking up the silhouette is something very common. Now we do this also, we trained to do this just because the Super Ship Boy or D-hat is an Israeli thing. Remember, sniper veils and or at least camouflage burlap and draping over the helmet and beyond the edge of the helmet. is another trick that's been used or technique that's been used for years and to try and break up and change the basic silhouette. Also to change the lighting and shading because remember the ideas you're trying to blend in with the environment too. And depending upon how you're looked upon, that variation can help to distract the eye or to deflect the eye from registering what is a perceived threat. Remember, it's the fight or fight thing. Remember the basics of camouflage, shape, color, and God forbid, motion. And everything, whenever possible, no arm motion, no upper body motion if at all possible. This is something that's hard. If you do move, you move in a fluid method. You're moving to bring the gun to bear. Right. That's all. And there's not a whole lot of pointing, shaking. Again, even if you have to rub the nose, scratch the nose, the most common is my nose. Well, again, guys, keep your hand close to the body, move it up to the face. Again, relieve the problem or move whatever needs to be moved or deal with the twitch. And then again, move in a slow and fluid motion so that it does not. Now when I say slow, I'm talking about, in other words, you're in a slow-mo movie. Creep and crawl, even your hand as it moves from your lap to your chest. And that's if you're even going to deal with it. Remember, the first rule is with discipline, you aren't going to respond to that. You're going to stay focused. We are at the top of the hour.
