Summary
Mark Koernke discussed winter weather patterns across North America, explaining how cold air from Hudson Bay moves through the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions. He criticized media sensationalism around winter storms, contrasted modern fear-mongering with his personal experiences of safe winter activities in Michigan during the 1970s and 1980s, and provided practical preparedness advice including purchasing winter gear during summer sales, installing pipe insulation, and using light bulbs to prevent frozen pipes. Callers contributed tips on finding discounted cold-weather clothing and dealing with burst pipes in freezing conditions.

Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken Satan's number You've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't 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'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms He fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free and home God bless you bless this good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report amark korki 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 well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, run Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, AM and FM Microstations, CB, Base Stations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network on Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas Oklahoma big chunk of Nebraska whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third the fifth The freeze and you're hanging off even if you are driving a truck the size of two of my houses pit crew Back and forth it never stops. It's cold They stay to keep right on driving kids those big trucks with the diesels as big as they are. Oh my goodness hell that diesel the diesel engines as big as some people's houses Think about that. Anyway, the left coast where the state of Jefferson is in place and in motion, just celebrated their birthday here back on December 7, 2013, waving to the rest of the left coast in occupation with the sputum, the stench, the detritus, the debris, the excrement, the filth, the bottom feeding trash of Feinsteinism along with the diaper stain of brown. Turning back to the east, we sweep. across the plains through the cold. Yeah well, it came off Hudson Bay kids just like we told you it would. Exactly what happened if you look at the weather maps and this is that bubble that we get every year but every so many years you get the big one. And to this year you get the big one in all directions. Well unless you're in the Gulf Stream area up in the Northwest. I just passed them by while I was crossing the plains but many of the areas there don't even have snow. Well, you didn't hear about that, did you? It's not the places that do have snow. It's some of the other places that are, well, the reason the Indians knew where they were, and they were great wintering quarters. Hey, they knew something everybody else didn't. Well, across the Mississippi, burgeoning in its banks for all the snow and moisture, and there's going to be a lot more when all this melts. Yeah, the Mississippi, it's at its banks and doing what the big buddy does best, just keeps turning. Lending in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make the light work. A million petticoat junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline, but you've got to build it yourself, people. Microwave, point-to-point communications is another really cool low-tech simple technology so easy to do it's ridiculous and as a matter of fact it can be kept high and out of sight Very comfortable to use without you know, you're radiating the whole neighborhood by keeping it high and going point to point bringing it down from above the houses. Yeah, or above the roof level that's done too. Anyway, the whole idea is solutions not just complaining about the problems. The internet is spied on. Well, don't use the internet. Use something else. Make your own. That's how we got the internet, remember? If everybody started doing that and really thinking motivated instead of getting into the same old rut, we've been in great shape. Anyway, it's the 6th of January. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of a miracle with a K-2014 old earth calendar or Mayan crazy town calendar. and we're getting the cold now yesterday, the day before, actually got warmer. Warmer than it's been with the snow. In fact, we had a snow melt. We already had this half as much snow as we have now, we've already had, but nobody talked about it here. I mean, after all, it wasn't exciting talking about disaster when it was just snow and, well, we have named the storm Ion! We just got attacked by Ion! Oh, the horror of the Ion attack! Sounds like somebody's using a space weapon or this ion. Yeah, whatever. Throw that BS out to one of the naming winter storms. Excuse me? Give me a break. Anyway, ION! No, that's easy to remember. It'll sound like something you can make a space thing, you know, like a sci-fi movie out of the ION store. So anyway, uh, yep. Yeah, it's winter. It's winter out there big time. It's part of that 30, probably the 35 year cycle by the looks of it, but... Most of our snow has been straight down. I don't know about you people paying attention to your environment, but we have areas that are just totally bare patches. If you have something that's been sitting since the last melt a few weeks ago and you just left everything in place, it could be boards up off the ground. It could be a car. I've got Jeeps at a park. They haven't been moved and they're like big frosted cakes right now. But if you look at them underneath there's bare earth and it's like well mark us because it's windswept no It's because the snow for the most part until this wind that we just kind of got the edge up today I assume unless if this is what we're gonna get it's not a bit too big yawn I mean it's not like this is really anything to cry about it probably is getting worse in other areas like I said It's gonna go north or south of us but Guys, the snow here literally has fallen straight down so everything is like a shadow. Here's the best way to describe it. Underneath, you know, tables, you'll have just as much snow missing all the way to the ground as you have piled up on the table. The chairs and everything else. It's not been swept sideways. It's not been blown in until now. We're just now getting a little bit of that. But even there, the areas that are exposed are staying exposed. which is really interesting. So we've had classic high altitude neutral snowfall for the snowmobilers. This is the best kind of snow. Oh man, you don't hear anybody talking about that. Hey, it's great! Michigan, the winter wonderland. No, instead it's we're due! It's dangerous out there. You could die if you touch the snow. Did you know that we have acid snow? If you go out there and touch it and have fun in it, you will die. So just remember, stay in your box, watch the Weather Channel, you will die. And remember, there's snow on the picking table outside. You see it? That's why you're gonna die. So you're gonna die out there, so you should be prepared, but be prepared to stay inside and not put any cold winter clothing on in the first place because you need to shelter in place. as fema's told you and as the cop shops have told you in other words what read that power in place you need to cover in place where's instead it's like well you still build suits up where you thought you know i've got not two or three around i picked up i've been getting some pristine seventies cold weather gear i mean just beautiful stuff because it's been in people's closets for a while cuz their grandmas and grandpas they got older after a while yet you get old first disease and you don't go out as much just that simple but The stuff that I'm getting is like it's the classic example of when Michigan was called the winter wonderland you went out and ice-fished you went out of snowmobile till two or three in the morning if you had snow like this guys You know, we've heard two snowmobiles and we've got snow that you would you would get look at this I'll do it the Jewish way you could die for look the snow It's like butter. Okay, number one number two snow resorts ski and let's not forget Well, snow tobogganing and snow sledding and, like I said, ice fishing. Guys, in this weather, ice live on a lake out in the middle of BFE to the north of the county here. Nobody lived out there, nobody wanted to. And it was barren during the winter. What do you do out there? Well, we go out of the ice, we shovel the snow, and then we bore a hole in the ice and we kill fish. When we get perch and we would get bluegill, we had one guy that got one of the record sturgeon for the state. We're kind of an inland lake, but we've got some deep spots. It goes down to 100 and some feet in the smaller lake of the two we lived down. You heard me, 110 feet. Spring fed. Well, one winter, back in 1972, I'm pretty sure it was 1972 or 1973, either into 1972 or the beginning of 1973, tip up, not to forget about tip up, they had an ice shed, ice shanty out on the lake, a little farther out than we'd normally put it, but it was out in the deep part of the lake where if you always had good, deep cold like this, we were good. All of a sudden there was a big ruckus and a couple more guys ran back to the shore which was a good quarter mile away and run back out to the ice shanty with extra guys and then you see more guys trying to get in the ice shanty and then you see them rustling some of them into the ice shanty and some of them out of the ice shanty and they pulled out this sturgeon that was a monster. Don't think we're going to have sturgeon in the Huron River, I know, because I've seen it more than one. So that was the middle of winter, guys. And nope, we didn't all die. Everybody seems to survive. Not once. Did we have anybody break through the ice and drown while I lived on that lake for what, 20 years? I mean, we owned it before we lived on it, actually. We built the place up from torn down houses. We actually took the wood, salvaged it. Most of the wood that made up that house was about 100 years old before we built the house because it came off other old mansions that had to be torn down and stuff. So we built the place up and eventually moved out there. It was pretty cool. Of course, you had to learn to take care of yourself. You also had to learn to entertain yourself because nope, there wasn't anything really close, but I did a lot of hunting and did a lot of swimming. We did a lot of ice fishing. We even shoveled for hockey. I don't have any great excitement for hockey, but at least we could have an ice skating rink because we had the whole stinking lake for that, etc., etc., etc. We seem to have survived it, but the big thing is snowmobiles. God help you with what regulations of OSHA had its way, especially with the big communists you have in government now. You know, it used to be you had, you know, Arctic Hat, Johnson, Evan Rood. You had, you know, well, actually they're still out there Polaris and the others are out there in one form or another absorbed into other companies. But, and even Honda got into the act, because sleds are cool, especially, or say, kept trying to go bigger and faster, and how fast can you go before you break the machine up or catch something and tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble, because you're doing 80, 90 miles down to the snowmobile and you hit something, or you lose something, or you gag something. Booze is pretty impressive. Yeah, but the good thing is rolling is snow, I guess, if you can get away from the wreckage of the snowmobile. We survived all of that man. We survived it all dudes. Only to turn around if somebody tell us with this kind of lint biscuit weather we're having right now that we're all going to be dying. Again, God help you. It's like in the 70s when I was going to school. I just got to think I'm noticing. It's like first it was global warming but now and they're still trying to do the global warming. I hope y'all pay attention to how they're formatting the weather map. Because, you know, they're trying to get that jet stream thing in, which is important. The jet stream is critical. Understand, they didn't know what the hell it was. Sixty-seven years ago, you do know that, right? They don't get any clue. You know, media, nobody. And most of them ignore it for the longest time, except now. Well, it's part of that way to make you feel urgent because it's a jet stream. So anyway, what they don't want you to pay attention to is, well, what really caused all this cold bubble that's stomping on a lot of our listeners? It has nothing to do per se with the jet stream except that, well, there was a slice that went up the segment that kind of slewed up because of the lakes and because of the terrain. It went up the Ontario Peninsula. Because this big ball we call Earth is round, remember? And what happened to Hudson Bay and bounced off that and sucked all that cold up there right down the cavity, right down that channel, you know, the Canadian plains down to the Great Plains of the US. Hey, that's where all that cold was! Wasn't the jet stream coming across from the west that did that? It was a big, but, chunk of cold that we get every year like this except, ha ha ha ha ha, you got it before we did. See, normally that would come down. I'll challenge all of this one. You see, if you pay attention to look at the average temperatures for the upper peninsula of Michigan and the upper part of Michigan we call the snow belt. Well, you better look at the temperatures and also look at the snowfall and understand that, well, it's a toss-up, first of all, which way that's going to go depending upon the combos to include the jet stream as to whether or not it goes down the ditch. In other words, break down the plains. Got the Rockies on one side, the Mississippi on the other. And those work as two natural barriers that help to promote why that was grass and why the buffalo stayed there. The rivers on one side, the Rockies on the other, and the lawnmowers stayed right in the middle. This too of course helped to modify the weather pattern because there's no big tree ranges. There's no forests or whatever. It's like a big natural massive multi-state canyon. So it either goes that way or it gets sucked from Hudson Bay to Lake Superior where it picks up a whole lot of moisture and bitter cold with damp is killer guys and that's what you get up there in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We know that. It goes all the way down to the Lost in the Woods of Misery, all the way down to the Misery and those other states. That cold, damp air that goes right through to the bone. Yeah, and then you get the Sub-Zero with all, yeah. Oh, that'll kill ya. If you're not paying attention, and if you haven't lived there all your life, and you don't know how to live in that environment, I guess if you came from Florida or Arizona, but even there you get cold weather on occasion, so you have smarts to, you know, have cold weather gear, right? Boots, pants, snow suits. Parkas, coats, hats, gloves, mittens, all the stuff we talked about during the summer you should have bought when it was cheap. Right? Yeah. See how that works. See, but if everybody's on the edge of disaster mode. Okay, hold on, George. One more thing here real quick. Remember, watch the overall weather patterns, guys. Don't just look at what they try to focus on. It's like when we talk about Afghanistan. It's like you go east to go to Afghanistan. You'll notice how it stops on the farther border there. And it's like it's the edge of the world and there's nothing else beyond that. Until you look at a map of the world and you realize, oh, he is circular. There is something over beyond that. It's not like a dead end street up into Afghanistan. It goes somewhere else. Go ahead, George, what do you got? Well, you know, you know, I talk about how they say, get your winter wear in summer, and the summertime was real cheap. Well, I was at Target and they had a clearance sale on Speedos. like nobody's going to use them in winter. Right, no, now this is the time to get all the summer gear. Exactly. I'm looking at ripstop clothing for ripstop camouflage uniforms right now. Tops for $3 a shirt up to extra, extra, extra large. Yes. Woodland camouflage. Ripstop uniforms. Why? Because they're not involved this time of year. Go ahead. Well, you know, I found something unique in my car. I could tell it was from one of the really northern states because I noticed this little plug in my grill and it was a block heater. Sounds like plain states or upper part of Michigan. Like I said, UP. In the UP or Wisconsin or Minnesota, oh hell yeah. Or the Dakotas. Oh heck yes. So that's probably where that car came from, if not from the middle plain states. Go ahead. Well this morning it was so cold. They didn't say, oh, we're in the second state, I call it. I had to go underneath my house because my pipes bursted. I got PVC underneath my house. and that northern wind goes right underneath. For the feed lines? Yeah. Little hint here, I'll tell you what, it doesn't take much especially, well do you have the bottom of the house at least sealed up? I mean it's boxed in, right? No, it's like the pipes are exposed underneath the gate. No, no, but around the edge of the house. Yeah. Okay, well here's a little trick, near wherever you have the water, your connection, your pipes, you don't have to have it all put this summer. Put in a couple of conventional light fixtures and a switch. Just a simple light bulb, because you're not opening and closing that area, it's stagnant air, it does move to a degree. But for the most part, a simple set of light bulbs. Yeah, you've got to pay for the electricity, but a couple of light bulbs down there and standard light fixtures hanging from your rafters are enough to keep the heat up in that area. So just something to think about and be ready for. The other thing, I highly recommend that you buy, and I know this isn't going to happen every year, but what's it cost to go and buy this once and put it on your pipes? You can get pipe insulation for dirt, cheap, nothing. It's all communist Chinese made now. And make a point if you're going to go back under there and you've got
