Well. Also, alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third and fifth and our friends on the west side of the state, the seven sisters, a new micro FM transmitter in each Valley and now you could use your car radio if you're listening there right now. You couldn't before all the other radio stations had abandoned you. We won't. Patriot movement. We're builders. The other skanks are the ones rolling up their sidewalks. Anyway, waving to Colorado, the recall state, and the left coast, where the state of Jefferson is a bright point in otherwise a gloomy occupied territory made up of swing poles full of feted urine and baby Ruth bars. Oh, the little chunks of unchewed peanuts are floating everywhere along with... Hey, that ain't chocolate. That's fine. Turning from the stench of Soviet socialism, we're going back to the east, sweeping across the plains, leaping over the extra-wide Mississippi with all those chunks of ice floating in it, and landing on the Smokies with the restaurant crews, Grandma Team's OK teams, and Ma Bell Grandma Consortium up there in Cleveland, Ohio, also buried up to its arse in snow. That's right, the Golden Spike Project. Well, there's a little poster here, Dane, over in the stand. I appreciate this. It's got one of the little, I think it's one of the little mini-leamers from South America or the Pacific. The eyes are of course the size of a couple of pizza pies by comparison. The rest of the head really bright and open with little tiny pupils. And it says, I put Red Bull in my coffee this morning instead of water. And now I can see noises. Ha ha, that's got good. just the picture of the perfect combination as well little guys that got the no for on the chance almost like a person wearing a male for a mask scary i know there's no you go ahead you go ahead well today today's survey for a good father what is the date today is january tenth year of our lord two thousand and fourteen it's a friday and it's now raining here and eight degrees. Global cooling warming! Global warming cooling! No, it means you better make sure that you got those rubber boots in your cars, people. By the way, the Malamutes are lamenting because they like the deep snow. They really, really, really do. So do German Shepherds. Yep, the Huskies. All those furry puppies are out there playing and chewing the snow and trying to chew on your neighbor thing. Get hold of him before he's... If he's slow and the snow is deep enough, he doesn't have any problem catching him. And they're looking for rabbit poop too. But, uh, Carolinas had messaged me and Skype here and said that he was extending his $10 donation challenge. If you'd like to help out and you want to help out, libratindianafreedomtalkradio.com, uh, Joe has put in a $10 monthly donation. So that's a recurring. Every month it'll, it'll take another $10 out of whatever account you put it in through. If you do that and you email him by midnight tonight and show him the receipt where you did the $10 monthly donation, he will send you a free pack of GMO and non-GMO garden seeds for your garden if you do that. So there's a $10 donation challenge for you. There we go. So for everybody out there listening, if you would take the time, please donate and let's help Spike out here. It'll only take a few minutes to do that with a PayPal card. Guys, you go to the site and plug in. Maybe you got a $50 PayPal card and you've got three or four dollars left on it, or five or six dollars, whatever. Well, use it towards the project. This is an old trick because a lot of times with a lot of the people that you're actually dealing with and depending on the company they're persnickety about trying to enter more than one PayPal card so unless you got some real tiny item you're going to buy it's a lot of extra hassle but this kind of cleans that issue up. You take what's left on that card put it towards the project and if everybody did a little bit of that you go a long ways guys. so that $10 donation probably have maybe a PayPal card on hand ready to use for that. Maybe you got a deck of them. Some people buy them in different configurations for the very reason we're talking about. So this is another way to help out and do it fast, efficiently, and getting on with other things you gotta do tonight. So help us out and we'll continue to keep LTR and Indiana Freedom Talk radio up and online. How's that sound? And make sure a spike can well keep things over, you know, keep the keep the heat in and keep the rain out of the house how's that sound and the lights on still which would be a real good idea keep gentleman There's Joe. There we go. We got Joe. Jump in there, sir. Hey, guys, this is Joe from the Carolinas down here in Greenville, North Carolina. My host is a show called Grow Your Own, the budding revolution. That's every Tuesday at 7 p.m. Eastern, 4 p.m. Pacific. Excuse me. So we're going to be live again this coming Tuesday. We've had a few weeks off due to other reasons technical and whatnot. But the reason I'm coming up right now is because I was listening to Mark and Spike mentioned to you that I have a donation challenge. If you donate, I'm going to just kind of repeat what they said my own way. If you donate $10 by midnight tonight Eastern time, $10 to Spike at IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com and then you send me an email with the donation receipt and an address where I can mail a letter to you. I will send you free, non-GMO, certified organic garden seeds. If you can make that $10 donation recurring, I will include an extra pack of seeds designed just for the area where I'm mailing it. It will grow in that area as long as you take care of it well. So it's going to be all my selections because I kind of collect garden seeds in this area. I'm kind of embarrassed to say I literally have pounds of garden seeds. So keep that in mind and guys, if you could keep that going through the rest of the evening shows, I appreciate it. No, probably good and again. That's not a bad thing No need to apologize for having that wealth on the shelf because that's what it is there You know there are people will be starving right? I didn't think I thought I'd be able to start my season and be just right there No, it's not you know as a matter of fact just to give you an idea guys Where I'm sitting right here. I want to say hi to our friends out there in Kentucky, but Joe Can hear those? I do. Well that envelope here even has somebody's name on it. From the Carolinas. Hear that guys? I know what your writing is like so I now have a writing sample to test against anything somebody might try to fake out with me. And there you go. See how that works guys? So for everybody out there again, this is just an idea. I mean I've got, well this today and yesterday I've been going through all my storage containers so I can try to get all my standard containers sorted out because I've been collecting. And one of the things that we're doing with these guys is I've got a whole bunch of other ones drying out in the sunroom right now. and I'm trying to subdivide them because I want to take them to other locations this year and this year coming up we're going to be really aggressive in building alternate growth growing sites. garden sites including Don's Place. Don's going to have a little bigger garden up than he probably expected this next year because we're going to be all ready to go with it. Everybody out there should be thinking the same way. We've got beautiful moisture. We've got deep frost up here in this part of the country. You don't have to worry so much about that, Joe. For everybody out there, wherever you're in the north, look at this as nothing but a blessing that we've got going on what's going on here because this is half of what makes for those tremendous summer crops. What's happening right now out there and you're outside your window all that white nasty stuff, everybody's calling you nasty stuff, any intelligent person understands the value of this. Oh yeah, and just to kind of Go right back at you. It's a baby rattle. It's a rattlesnake. It's a oh, it's well. Those are seeds Oh my and they're all heirloom guys all the stuff that I'm gonna be giving you is all heirloom Sort of old heritage variety seeds so just go ahead and click that donation link over Indiana freedom talk radio.com and Yeah mark with that snow I kind of look at snow in it in a different way people look at it as an inconvenience I see that as like stored pond So we could move that snow wherever we want to put a pond. Maybe we'll grow some fish in that pond or something else. Let's push that snow in an area where we're going to build a pond next season. I agree and I must say that the blessing sure does hurt your back. We like motorized machinery for that. One of the things real quick I want to point out this year that I did because we've got one of the tricks. I was going to do another project. I was going to make up another little temporary greenhouse. But I got a bunch of these extra sliding window plastic door frames. When you buy the windows, doors and windows are pre-hung. Over at Habitat for Humanity, I got all of the sliding glass window sets that they had. They were going to throw them in the dumpster, guys. But I also got the frames because I had the windows. They were separate so I could stack them in the back of the truck. They were already taken out of the frames. So I took all the frames that were there no matter what they were. Well, this year I took those frames, laid them down horizontally. I laid them down as a box in the corners of the garden. Now, these are about 6 feet by 6 feet, no actually 6 what? 6.5 by 6.5, closer to 7. And what I did this year, all the stuff that's coming out of the garden is, forgive me, out of the house that's compost, the stuff the goats can't eat, or that is, you know, like the coffee grounds, the egg shells, everything is going into that square area. anything that is really really bad as far as maybe you know somehow we missed it and it was on the shelf because we have been kind of heavy on extra food right now we've been getting their sources where I've been getting you know trunk loads and carloads of stuff So we can't use it all or it's not really usable. What can go to the critters goes to the critters. What can't goes into these boxed in areas and I'm letting nature take its course. Plus I took all of the clean out from the goat shed which is the goat igloo right now with the snow the way it is. and that all goes into those squares. Now what I'm doing is I'm building up a flat square area compost that is exceptionally rich but the neat thing is I'm using junk to keep it boxed in. I also did a couple of 2x6 frames the same way because I've got so many thousand 2x6s right now in different sizes. One area has been set up for volunteer tomatoes. We've talked about these little cherry tomatoes. I had so many extra and we had so many fruit and just couldn't get them all off in time at the end of the year. What I did is I picked all that fruit up that was frozen and already sitting there, put it over into that area through the coffee grounds, through the busted up egg shells in there, and I've been dumping more earth and stuff in there whenever I get it. Anybody who tosses out potted plants or garden stuff, I walk it right out to the garden, put it right there on those boxes. Now the stuff is frozen, but you know what? Like we have a little bit of a warmer temperature. the stuff all bust up every time I go out to feed the goats or check on their water. If it's melted, it gets stepped on and it's being spread around. Now, I don't know exactly what's coming up in those areas, although there's going to be a lot of other volunteer plants too, and I've got to make sure you know what your baby food plants look like. When they're coming up, they don't have the same leaf pattern, so you need to do a little studying about how your seed plants should look coming up. Once they get to the second leaf sprouting, typically tomatoes are pretty much identifiable. Eggplants are pretty much identifiable. When you get that second little set of stems, they start to develop and it becomes more obvious. The idea is that in one area, I've been focusing on those tomato plants this year. I'm going to still get volunteers all over the garden, I guarantee it. But I'm going to get a lump of them right there and we are going to crank these out and get these to everybody we can. And that includes Joe, I plan on even sending you an experiment. I want to send some plants through the mail and see how they survive. No, I appreciate that. And I would certainly continue to spread that among our friends and allies through these different sorts of donation drives. Mark, I just want to get it out there real quick and I got to take off. I just got to take off. Great hit. And I really appreciate what you've been saying and I totally support everything that you just said. Guys, if you can donate to indianafreedomtalkradio.com tonight. to SpikeSight to help him out because he is having a hard time right now. I will send you free non-GMO garden seeds. Just email me and here's my email address. I'm going to do it three times and sign off. It's joefromthecarolynesatgmail.com. If you donate 10 bucks or more or you make it even a recurring 10, okay? Joe from the Carolinas at gmail.com that's J. O. E. Joe from the Carolinas at gmail.com Email me a snail mail address that you can pick and I'll send you your free non-gmo seeds if you donate so make sure you include your receipt. Thank you gentlemen. Thank you Joe. Very good. Thank you sir. You bet. and of course guys it is friday so i know a lot of people in the head not go to different places be careful on the road we're gonna see whether changes it's not global warming it's called a temperate environment uh... the shister uh... shall we say uh... you know pickle smoking mirrors uh... flim flam artists after the flatter yap with the latest catchphrase in reality and it's winter be ready for a barter go ahead call jump in their color It's a meat eater. I had to give a quick weather update. I left Monday from the cold north where it was nearly two feet of snow and negative 20 drove down now back into the South Florida AO. We've had about a day and a half of rain over 12 inches in some areas. Massive amounts of flooding. For the people, I think the cold weather is more enjoyable than the rain. I'm just pointing out my preference to those people that are out there. The rain just isn't any fun and causing a lot of problems. They're literally flooding streets where people can't drive and abandoning cars and stuff down here. Yep, the big thing there again is we're also, thank you for bringing it up, we're going to see the thaw and we see flooding, which is inevitable. Or in this case you've got regular rain, gee, which again, fresh water coming down hard. Remember car clearance, this is another reason to have more than one kind of vehicle in the fleet inventory, guys. It doesn't mean it will do everything by the way, but a truck or a higher lift vehicle of whatever kind gives you a little more insurance. Watch for a clunker, pick it up and put it in your little fleet. I know that sounds, well Mark, what are you, I'll buy a $12,000 truck? Hell no, I'm looking for a $600 or a $900 truck. Or if for that matter, somebody wants to get rid of it if they don't want to scrap it out. The other place to go, govliquidation.com, govliquidation.com. You want to get a really cool emergency vehicle. Guys, they're bringing through deuce and a halfs and five toners constantly now. And this is the slow season and the low season for bids. You want to look for a truck that would walk through any water you're pretty well going to run into because it's also snorkeled. Oh gee, there's a one. That's a nice emergency vehicle sitting in the yard where you don't go out the back door with your cargo if you had to leave and evacuate the house. You open up the kitchen window and walk out the kitchen window to the back of the deuce and a half. Hey! Wow, you really can do that, can't you guys? Yeah, you know that if you've ever had one. Anyway, just an idea. And by the way, dropping stuff from the second floor down to the back of the deuce, it's a lot shorter drop when you got a big truck. Actually, it's no drop at all. Anyway, just something to think about there. Meteor, otherwise, what are the temps like there? Well, it's actually pretty nice. I think it's about 70 degrees. My body feels about 80 because my body's back to adjusting after a few weeks of being in the north. Very humid here. But I think it's about, say, around 65 to maybe, we can enter the 70s a little bit. It's all just been rain, so it was kind of interesting driving from one part of the country to the other. I think I prefer the snow, rather than this rain, because it was mighty beautiful after the storm on Monday with the sun on Tuesday, some very pretty areas. Each place has got its problems. I think I can't stress enough because I saw so many cars either stranded up in Michigan with people not thinking everything through or down here, you know, water is a killer, you know, for engines. If you don't think you can drive through it, don't do it. We have little cars that are just stopped. If you can afford the deuce and a half and get one cheap, or you know with your team or something and put it together. It may not drive that fast but it's very hard to stop. And they run on multi-fuel too. Well, I should, many of them have what's called a multi-fuel engine. If they're old engine oil you can run them on vegetable, so what else is inside the engine. So that's another thing to look for. Make sure it's a multi-fuel one. The newer turbo ones As a matter of fact, right now, as I pointed out, all of these trucks that we used to drive when we were in the military, guys that didn't get rid of them, they've been using them for the last 30 years, okay? So, in 25 and 20 and 15, up until just recently. So there are a bunch of the M35 type deuce and a halves, especially in the auction right now, and parts are readily available for these. They really, really, really are. This is one of those trucks that's easy to work on, user friendly. The wire harness is lettered or numbered depending upon which wire harness. There are three wire harnesses for a dew snaf. There's the front module, which we used to buy for, I think you still get it for about $37, $38, as high as $75. And that's every wire under the hood. The middle module is for the cab. That runs about $30 to $40. The rear module, which is every wire for the butt end of that truck from one end to the other, is another $40 to $50. But we're talking about in the package, in the foil, brand new, never issued, you can literally unplug every wire. There's a code, literally with a tab, like a little plastic tab that's usually, the older ones were actually molded. The newer ones, which are a little cheaper actually, are plastic tabs with a number on them. And all you do is pay attention and where you unplug number three you put in number three. Now in some cases they would only replace one wire part of the wire harness. So you just plug one to one, two to two, three to three, four to four, six to six, twenty-eight to twenty-eight, you know, and when the time you're done it's finished. It was very stupid friendly. So these trucks are incredibly easy to maintain. on top of everything else. I've got six motors for them stored in a location here in Michigan in the transport cans. We paid a whopping $38 and $46 and I think I paid $65 for one engine but about an average of about $50 per engine in the vacuum-pulled transport cans. They're bigger than the engine. They're pallet movable, in other words, they're jack movable. They were designed so that the engine could be either put into storage or transported back to core or back to the factory for rebuild. But they're also how they come from the factory, guys. That stuff is laying all over the countryside. And these vehicles also, look at where the exhaust is. You'll notice it doesn't go down to where the water sits, does it, guys? So, their fording capability is much greater for an emergency vehicle. And this is something I really want to point out. Thank you for bringing this up, Meat Eater, about this flooding. What do you think would be cooler? FEMA showing up and sitting at the motel, high and dry, where everybody is put into FEMA concentration camps and they show up with all of their latest equipment, all of course stacked up for them to use and you to get screwed by. or a column of five, five ton or deuce and a half militia vehicles showing up with water and food and wading through the water and not thinking twice about it and helping people to move their debris and helping them to prevent FEMA from becoming a parasite upon their mind and upon their person. You know what? This is something y'all could and could be part of. There's no reason it's like down on the border with securing the border. I said this one minute man program is going on You know what best thing you guys showing up with deuce and a half three-quarter ton Five-quarter ton vehicles parrot them off so that all the matched vehicles are together and you show uniformity and image that is it shocks the mind of your enemy especially the ability to cooperate and coordinate without a massive anal retentive control freak bureaucracy and securing the border in the process. Think about it. For that matter, down on the border with the militia units down there, There's no reason for them not to have with a little coordination an entire fleet of engineer vehicles, transports, support, wreckers, the whole nine yards, because everybody could work together on that if there was just a lot more coordination and a lot more resource input. Not really great amount of money spent because you'd be surprised how cheap this stuff is and guys We're not going to drive it. You know down the road every day. You know you know to and from work We will use it on site, but it would be used in the remote location where it would be useful It would be used for specific mission activity Think about it so many things can be done. There's there's when you go to gov liquidation check them out govliquidation.com govliquidation.com go to the vehicles section there and just peruse they even have a subsection for deuce and a half five ton trucks they have a unique or utility trucks pickup trucks humvee junk you know the whole nine yards anyway we're going to go to the bottom of the hour break meat eater you want to stick around both but he might already set back for a bit more to go to break will be back in just a moment here guys we love grab a cup of coffee it is right here headed to the end of the week with the intel report will be back in a bit HempUSA.org urges everyone to plan ahead for possible food shortages in the future.

Yeah, we had a big old garage we built just for that purpose and everything could go inside and Hell we I was I grew up being the the the gopher wrench guy or the gopher the nut You know the bolts guys the nuts and bolts and you know small parts That's how I grew up. My grandfather on both sides worked on cars. My grandfather on my mom's side, my grandpa's shilling. The garage was lined with bins. Each bin had nuts, bolts, screws, parts from Hudson's, cars of every kind in little chunks and pieces. And when we would pull a car in, if something was going wrong, I'm going to go buy a new car. We rebuilt the one that was there. You got my oldest uncle on my mom's side, grandpa, my dad. uh... my middle brother who was a actually a phenomenal general you know like utility kind of guy could do pretty much everything with cars tear down an engine in eight hours and have it going back together in about the same or less from top to bottom and we would do that we start out pulling a car in on a friday night and wrenching away and when they needed a bolt it's like hey that one don't look too pretty here match this up go over there find the mens My job being about five six years old go over there start testing on chair That one does look pretty bad, but these are pretty good Although there's some different shapes and sizes the idea was match it up make sure it was right hardness learn to read the numbers on the bolts and then and by the way also on the nuts the case hardened and bring it back over and make sure it was there where it needed to be in the tray or laying on the bench and That way they could focus on their job and we focused on ours and we worked till it We hours of the morning, the mosquitoes would be out, the light would be streaming. I remember that like it was yesterday, the light streaming from the garage, you know, about, ooh, 50 yards behind the house, the two, you know, the houses there. And when we pull one vehicle in, work on it till we got it done, run that one out, pull another one in. When you do tuneups or anything, that was micro stuff. Yeah, so many minutes and we were done. Remember dwell lights, dwell meters and timing lights guys, instead of, oh yeah, I didn't put it up to a big old electronic machine. In fact, I've got every dwell meter and timing light that I ever had. I never throw those away, because there are a lot of vehicles out there you're going to need them. That's something that you better have on hand. Don't ever throw away tools. Just because you don't use them immediately, if you use them one time after you've already paid for them, they pay for themselves again. Because if you really needed it you need to have to go out and find another one wasting your life's time. If you already paid for it, it's on the shelf somewhere and it's in the inventory, you'll find it. And especially if it's not as commonly used, it's usually in a niche all by itself where it's on the bench and you go it's over there with the old stuff. And there you go. You're ready to rock and roll and get keep the wheels going on down the road. Want to buy you, it's also the boats. So it ain't no different with boat maintenance. In fact, Boat garages and boat maintenance are no different from car maintenance guys. It's the same routine You don't throw anything away just because the parts tired doesn't mean it's out worn out and there might come a day when well better on a Heavily worn part is better than no part Yeah, I have to ask you mark you must you must have one hell of a compound where you live Oh, I got jumped out everywhere. Oh not just here. Oh, well not just here by the way. Oh, just seriously I'm But the places that we'd sorted out at already had 70 or 80 tons of web gear and clothing in, you know, piles. And what I would do is we would sort it out progressively and pot it. That way I'd have, my version of a 510 program is I could take 100 men to a location and when you walk out you will be a fighting unit. You will have boots, you will have underwear, you will have t-shirts, you will have uniforms, you will all look the same, you will have the same web gear, you will have backpacks, you will have helmets, and I didn't pay dollars for it. See, back of that day, I've told everybody before, you don't see it, you've got to find government auctions where they're still doing paddle auctions. They have what's called scrap clothing, and everybody sees the word scrap, and their brain shuts off. Well, scrap clothing in the US government means somebody got really lazy and tired at the depot because they had, say, 20 pallet bins of clothing come in and they sorted through the first three bins and then they got tired of it and they figured they had something else to do. So what they do is they take those bins and they roll them over to the scrap area and then they throw other stuff that might not be as pretty in there on the bin and when you bid on it, you're like, I would bid on 20 tons of scrap cloth. Well, in the 20 tons of scrap cloth, 85 to 90 percent, about 80 percent on an average, we'll go that way. 80 percent was virtually brand new, never issued. 10 percent was mildly used. And the other 10 percent was mixed used to really bad shape like, you know, got oil in it because it was a maintenance guy or may have got shredded because it was picked up by a lawnmower or who knows what. We're talking tonnage. We're talking thousands of everything, tens of thousands of everything. Then, every once in a while, there'd be leather in there like bundles of D3A gloves, bundles of aviators, pilots' gloves. Well, for all of our shooters, a lot of guys like to use those as shooting gloves. I've got thousands and thousands of those stored all over the state. Virtually, we could re-outfit an army. Actually, we could outfit an army from scratch or if you came into an area and you guys were tired and beat up and had used up a lot of your equipment or it was looking fray, we wouldn't throw that away. If you wanted to, you could trade your gear in and I'd put you back in the field looking a lot nicer than you were about 15 minutes ago. See how that worked? Awesome. See, that's how everybody could be doing this and we could do it with just closed people throw away. Save every OD green item you see and put it away. Just stack it up and put it away OD green clothing if you just did that you'd help us out a lot and then take grays make a barrel for gray clothing make a barrel for green clothing and make a barrel for brown clothing Seriously, you know both big 50 gallon plastic open mouth barrels put a garbage bag liner in there plastic bag liner start filling it up and I'm serious about that socks just you get spare socks. Somebody's got a yard sale They got a box of socks sort them out by colors put them in there That settles the whole thing real quick and you seal it up every time you're done make sure the air you know doesn't get moisture by the time you're done you've got a barrel full of resupply and didn't cost anything but the patient time it took to fill it up So that's a solution there Anyway, yeah, and there's well, let's put it this way. I've got Jeeps other people didn't want Didn't cost me anything other than the guys took the time to pick them up and move them So they didn't go to the scrap heap, but we've got Jeeps trailers generators, all kinds of fun stuff. And that's separate from the stuff I used to get at the auction. I'll point out again, the world has changed because people are going crazy with what they'll spend, and that's because a lot of people got on the auction process that, well, they'll buy it and they don't know what to do with it. But they'll pay more for it because they were told that, you make money by spending all the money on it, and then they lose it because they don't know what to do with what they got. But we used to pay, if I do a bulk bid, like I said, sometimes you get more than you expect, They had an entire fleet of vehicles over at the office of the Selfridge Air Force Base. A sealed bid, they needed to move them within 30 days. I put a bid in about $22 to $60 per vehicle. I got almost all of them. Now, that was incredible. Three quarter ton trucks, that was two three quarter ton full size Dodge vans, whole bunch of army sedans Dodge. You know, the Aspens, okay, a bunch of those, OD Green. Cube Vans, I got two of those. Now I paid charges, I bid more on those, but I didn't expect to get them. I got them for $265 a piece. The rest were Jeeps, CJ5 Jeeps, the M38s. And what was the other rest of it was, oh, I'm sorry, M880 pickup trucks, about 12 of them. Two of those were crew cabs. I paid for the crew cab $45. I drove all of these vehicles off the site. Now that gives you an idea guys if you look around or if you're paying attention and what I did is we sorted those. One part of the state here got the M715 Jeep trucks that we were picking up. We paid between $65 and $125 each for those. The M880s all went to another units, you know, certain area, so that way all the spare parts, all the Dodge engines are in one location. All of the, the, uh, tornado engines or all of the Chevy engines all were in another category, another area, all with one lump. So if we ever traded engines out or something needed parts and something got fragged, a wreck would still be a parts vehicle for, you know, somebody else. So, that's the way to do this guys. Right now, it's, they've gone, you know, the stuff that's a little bigger is now what's coming through the auctions. One ton trailers, three quarter ton trailers are few and far between. Pretty much all of them are one ton trailers designed to be pulled behind the Humvee. That's about as small as they go, though there are some smaller ones in there of different configuration. In addition to that, 3 quarter ton or 5 quarter ton weapons carriers slash pickup trucks. The Cuck fees are still coming through but a lot of those are tired. However, there's square body Chevy's. They were made here in Flint, Michigan. They're American and all the other Dodge commercial parts fit on them. So you can put them back online real quick with aftermarket Jose parts because the Mexican parts are cheap, cheap, cheap for those vehicles right now. To the point where you can purify that vehicle up real quick if it's got a body ding or if it's got rust. You can change out the part and do the whole quarter panel for $50, $60, $80 depending on where you buy it. And the closer you are to Joseville slash Mexico, the cheaper they are. So, just something to think about. Plus all the other goodies are there too. Which is another reason, govliquidation.com. Govliquidation.com. In fact, I'm going to go over there for a minute. There's one other thing I want to touch on before we go. Again, it is Quartermaster Friday, so we should emphasize supply guys. Check out CenterfireSystems.com. They should have their sales for the weekend up. In fact, I'm going to do that first before we go any farther. I don't know what they've put up on sale. They may not even put anything on sale. They didn't have much for Christmas. All right. Somebody might have been listening. I think somebody was listening. 3 of my favorite rifles are sitting there on the top of the page. They've got the bolt-action short stroke Monte Carlo Mausers. They just got these things in I think guys. They're a mini Mauser, an M70 Mauser series rifle. They have them in .223 7.62x39. .22 Hornet .270 Winchester and .243 Win. Now to be quite honest, that is a nice little rifle in .762 by .39 or in .223. Which means you could afford to take it to the range all day now I love 270 wind and I love I love 243 Winchester not a problem But those m70 mousers are a heavier rifle to begin with the M85 mini mousers guys you're gonna be amazed It's like firing a 22 these are a little short stroke action so fast. It's ridiculous, but these are beautiful little weapons They made these to kill people trying to get away from the East Germans were during the Cold War and they were shooting people in the back with basically this rifle. Oh, that's bad. Well, a bunch of these made by Steyr came out back after East Germany went out of business. And the ones that they sold that were Steyr were built by Steyr and then sold on the other side of the Iron Curtain to the East German government to the police state. They had a scope that came with them from the factory, fixed mount. and the rifle was in 5.4x5x39 which was perfect. They are tack drivers. Well these are $430 a piece, I will say that, so remember it's still less than an AK. But if you're looking for a bolt gun that would be a nice little intermediate utility rifle that match your cartridge inventory, .223 or .762x39. I wouldn't go with a .22 Hornet. I'm sorry, I like that cartridge. But and if you guys out there if you get it I'm not going to say a word because if you know how to use it if you're not a reload for it fine But the 223 is a hell of a lot cheaper and the 762 by 39 is a hell of a lot cheaper to shoot and both of those are available there at the top of the page and then There's another rifle sitting here that we've seen some feedback on couple of guys already bought these and they really love them It's the you go pap m77 ps 308 with a 19 and a half inch barrel This is a really nice MBR, but what it really makes is an inexpensive dragon off type sniper rifle. It's already set up for the rail on the left side of the receiver. This is a longer barrel rifle, not quite the length of the RPK, but longer than the standard AK. In general, the package is in .308, remember, so this is a heavy rifle caliber, or actually an MBR caliber. The other thing that they've got here are the Canix. Now I don't have any place so far I've been able to find spare mags, but it is kind of interesting You could pick for instance if I were going off this shelf right now. I love the AKs There's $600 apiece for a Romanian model, so if you wanted an AK there you go But if I was looking for an MBR off this page for $550 that you go M77 would be a solution because I'm looking for a tack driver I'm not looking to spray and pray and if I needed a personal hand cannon to go along with it these Canik 55 TP9s, get it in OD green, comes with a holster, comes with two magazines. So far I have not heard of any additional mags being available. That's the only problem with that gun until I do, while I would carry it, if I again because of the price, brand new pistol, 17 shot magazine capacity, not a bad little package there. So hey, the front page, they've got four of the more useful weapons out there right now price-wise. And going through even their latest flyer, which I've got right here from Centerfire, there isn't a whole lot, guys, that is under $300. There are a few pistols, but the ammunition is a little pricey right now for Tokarev. As you know, I'd warned everybody that while it was cheap, buy it, and eventually they would empty out the bathtub. In this case, 9mm now is, of course, the more affordable, readily available. For the moment they balance out, it's about 50-50. So the 9mm would be a good option. I'm not looking for dirty hairy stopping power, I'm looking for a hand cannon for a reasonable price. So $300 for the Turkish Canics which look to be a knockoff of the Ruger. Those are on the front page of CenterFireSystems.com. The one that really jumps out at me is that little bolt action, 223 or 762x39. I wish they would make that in the AK-74 round. It has been made in the AK-74 round before as a military contract short stroke rifle. In this case, the M85 Minnie Mauser. It's a Minnie Me! It's a Minnie Mauser. A lot of your young shooters could handle this rifle all day. I'm going to tell you who else would like this, the ladies. This is a really nice, lighter bolt action, very comfortable to shoot. and in 223 or 762x39 it's not a shoulder beater. So the girls would love this rifle. Another person listening, you older guys out there who still want to use a bolt gun but can't necessarily handle the heavy recoil because again, the shoulders or bodies are getting weaker. They get tired, body parts wear out, just how it works, but you want to stay in the fight. Well this .223 Tac Driver or 760x39 Tac Driver means you can stay on the range and train not only yourself or work with it, but you can train somebody else that's a new shooter so you can pass on your knowledge. because it's very affordable to fire ball ammunition in this weapon. I'm looking at the long haul guys. Eventually we're going to pass the baton on to other people. We'll be in the middle of this fight. This war is coming. But we got to be ready to bring the next generation up and online and give them a higher survivability rating by passing on the working knowledge that we have. Okay? that you go in seventy seven everything is available information wise on it and they do have spare mags for it or not cheap but they're not outrageous by magazine prices today either for any of the specialized guns look at it as a dragon off i would put a long basket flash hider on the front of that for seventy four type Get three scope mounts, put two standard scopes both the same type on two of those scope mounts, the slide on type. Get one of Dom's night vision devices, put that on it. Chemoflause the stock with some additional colors of paint and that includes the mags and all the metal parts and the plastic. And you got yourself a tack driving anti-personnel rifle in .308. So there's another solution. Don't have to get in a debate about the PTR-91s, you know I love those. This is $300 less. It's something someone could get into. It's in .308, standard battle rifle cartridge potential there. You can build up AP. You can do all kinds of special match rounds for it or buy what you want to make the gun sing. So that'll work out there. Now, govliquidation.com. That was at centerfiresystems.com. Centerfiresystems.com, 1-800-950-1231. Those are the weekend sale items that are up on the page. Anyway, govliquidation.com, www.govliquidation.com. When you go there, oh gee, they got all these antique cars that people were stupid enough to donate right on the front page, they're trying to sell them. Another example of why you never give anything to the government or any of these museums, because what you see happening here is what will happen. They'll slide them out the back door to their butt buddies. So you're better off giving it to somebody or selling it to somebody that appreciates it that is a private collector guys Seriously, anyway down at the bottom. There's uniforms and field gear check that out But trucks and other vehicles you click trucks and other vehicles. It's in the scroll over on the side Well, look at that five toners dragon wagons with three axles crew cab GM motor You know three three five hundred series trucks and ignore the willies jeepers out of the museum collection once again don't give anything to the government though just piss out the back door and no they'll be on your face and your memory in the process uh... they have a bunch of the nineteen ninety eight through uh... was it uh... two thousand and five m ten seventy commercial heavy equipment transports those are dragon wagons guys these are three axle these things are tank haulers and he'd also do a history to see what the bids are on these things but example M923A2 5 ton cargo top hard top cargo truck with winch. That's the newer 5 ton sitting there. 1990 production. They've got several variations on the theme. Two and a half same way. Two and a half ton trucks. There's a special section. And they have M35s in Barstow, California. Barstow, California. Whole pile them at Barstow. Davison, Monteith, AFB in Arizona. etc. etc. and they've got boxes separate. If you need a deuce and a half boxes for the rear of your truck, there's a stack of them all being sold together for US Army Tank Command cargo trailer bodies, 2.5 ton or whatever you bid on them, Richmond, Virginia. Anyway, guys, Vietnam vets being screwed by the VA. I'm going to tell you what I said before. You go talking to each other. You don't go to the VA. You do what we did during the end of Vietnam and afterwards. Get together with fellow veterans and patriots that are from your war and don't go to the VA to talk about anything. And don't go to any psychobabble people to talk about anything either. I'm sorry. It's not the good guy you talk to. It's the backbiter and backstabber that will be sitting there to look at your file later that will screw you. I always remember that. We've got good people trying to do their job, but we're going to have to do it away from the institutions because the institutions are being run by the communists. And they hate the veterans, they hate patriots, and they hate your liberty. They're going to do everything they can to destroy it. Stay away from the institutions. Create talk groups and help groups outside. The only way you're going to stay free. God bless the Republic. Yes, in the equal order. Very good. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on the march, both day and night. Hoorah!
