Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and equipment sourcing for militia communications and operations. He reviewed ammunition availability and pricing from online retailers (UNAMO.com, Ammoneman.com), covering calibers like 7.62x25 Tokarev, 7.62x38R Nagant, 9mm Makarov, and shotgun rounds. He emphasized signal communications infrastructure, radio equipment (PRC-77s, Fair Radio), microphones, headsets, and spare parts organization using dollar-store containers. Koernke covered battery management, copper wire salvage, sharpening stones, and inspection gloves for reloading and electronics work. He addressed education system concerns, teacher credibility, and school safety, contrasting past gun culture in schools with modern restrictions. Callers contributed topics on powdered inspection gloves, static electricity hazards in ordnance work, and fireworks as potential weapons.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money'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 trample 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? Distill the land of the free and good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon the intelligence report. I'm our krunky 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 are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, we're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies. east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We are 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 3rd, 5th, and 5th along with the 7 sisters. Colorado, the recall state where we've got a big long list of the bad guys where they are, who they are, where they live and we're not going to forget that when the bad times roll tit for tat. They got their list, we've got ours. Well, the left coast, where the great state of Jefferson in motion, is a shining beacon, the California Soviet Socialist Democracy, a detritus piece of trash that is a sinking ship. And sadly enough, of course, we're all of our good friends there. They're behind enemy lines, but they're keeping, again, the fight going and doing their part to organize, arm equip, and train as militia. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Gram and Consortium of Retired Telecommunications Workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. It is a beautiful blue sky day today, but now it's going into the chilliness. Yo, we're talking Michigan winter out there, so the sun fell beyond the horizon. The sky is blue, clear, now going to silver, going to black. That means it's going to get cold because we don't have any cloud cover to keep the heat in like we did this morning, which was really cool. Really neat, wasn't as cool. Well, Be prepared for that if you're leaving to go out somewhere tonight. You're listening right now. Don't forget to grab your hat, your gloves, because it is going to be colder out there. Now you shouldn't have to tell you that because it's winter and everybody knows it. But just in case, because, oh, it's nice you're out there, Mark. It was nice today, which is true. But in fact, temperature's dropping real fast and progressively. So let's be prepared for that. Again, dress the way you need to to make sure that you get back OK with your ears still intact and your nose still attached to your face. We don't need to have it chipped off or snapped off accidentally for being frozen. It's an extreme, but maybe not so much. Anyway, it is a beautiful Communications Tuesday. It is. the 11th of February, sixth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2014 Old Earth Calendar, or Mayan Crazy Town Calendar, it's Signal Communications Day. And for all of you out there, don't forget to take the time and check out some of the pages we've already mentioned. They're actually posted in the a chat room for a lot of guys and make sure I type some of the stuff in there. DealExtreme.com is always really neat, you never know what you're going to run into there, of course. DealExtreme.com, DealExtreme.com, also it's DX.com, DX.com. Either way, it's cool, it'll make it, check it out, see what you can find there. One of the other sites real quick, Shifting to Ammunition. Ammoneman.com, for those of you who are familiar with them, the guy has done a great job. Again, there's another company out on the west side of the planet out there in Arizona, and that is UNAMMO.COM. Now, they've got a bunch of stuff that is, you would go right down the scroll, definitely worthwhile, but something that I did notice, and I didn't dwell on the other day, but I am going to for a minute, and that has to do with, oh, they got 30 out of 6, steel case 30 out of 640 grain soft point, Wolf Military Classic MFG, polymer coated steel case, non-crochet, per damn primed, 20 rounds per box. 500 rounds for $325. So whether or not that's useful for you, check it out, see if it makes sense. Go from there. But they do have, at least they did, and let's find out whether or not they still have any of it. They got Silly Billy, you know, cellar below, slash S&B, 7.62x25 pistol ammunition in stock. Now, for a lot of you, you bought the Tokarev's or you've got the Broomhandle Mauser's or you've got any number of different weapons out there that take 7.62x25. Now this is S&B ammo. It's 1,500 rounds per case. $569, that's $599 postage paid per case, shipped to the lower 48 states. 760 by 25 Toker of Ammo, new production by Silly Billot slash S&B. 85 Green FMJ, reloadable brass, boxer prime guys. Non-corrosive, that's also a big plus. Pack 50 rounds to a box. 30 rounds, 30 boxes to a 1500 round case. Now, obviously this stuff goes into cans real quick. 30 caliber or 50 caliber ammo cans ASAP. For those of you who are looking for a real clean shooting round, S&B has done this for years. They do also 30 Luger. I just haven't seen any in the US. But they definitely are a good company. The ammunition is consistent, reliable. and that's a reasonable price for new manufactured ammunition. Take a look at the price of 40 cal and all the others out there guys. So number one, 762x25 Tokarev ammunition, boxer prime, brass case, reloadable. I would save your military ball bardin stuff for combat. If I were going to the range, I'd be doing the silly-billy stuff and then reloading it with a Plinkster bullet or whatever else in there. I'm then closed into a reloading cycle and I could use the brass for an extended period of time. We're now to the point where all that cheap ammo you bought that was burned in the cans or that's already stored up needs to be held back. The Boxer Primed Ammo. Whatever we can do this, there's two advantages. Number one, We're learning how to use the weapons obviously, but then we're going to learn how to reload too. We're going to work on reloading. So get a set of dies from the 760x25. And remember that the carbine bullets that are out there, there's a lot of different ones made by Spear and Hornady. They're not real big in the industry, so they're typically in stock. which is cool. Check out the Plinkster bullets that were available. They're in the right weight. They'll match up well and they'll function flawlessly in that Tokarev pistol or in that Broomhandle Mauser. Also, a lot of you guys got those peppish type weapons in the 7.62x25. Well, this ammunition will work just fine in that too. Now, right below that on the same scroll for UNAMO.com, UNAMO.com, They have the S&B 762x25 right below it. They have PPU. Now if he shows the picture, he's supposed to have it in stock. He has the 762x38R Nagat Revolver ammo. And this is brand new factory ammo. 500 rounds for $235. It's $255 per case shipped. OK, so he quotes both the base price and the shipping price based upon weight. That's always the case guys, you know how that works. Well, we've got some 7.62x38R, they've got ammunition, boxer primed, reloadable, brass case, fresh ammunition made either in Russia or in Serbia. Who knows which you have to Actually, you have a picture. Nope, it's made in Serbia. There we go. I do have a picture right there of the box. Since they had a picture of the box, if you read it, it will tell you where it's made. So this is PPU ammunition made in Serbia. See it right there on the right side of the picture. And the white label, black print. OK, preview part is on. Anyway, that'll give you some Neggat revolver ammunition for those of you looking for it. And yes, then they do have a whole pile of different 9 millimeter ammo. Cheapest for the most, this is what you're looking for. cheapest for the mostest. I'm not worried about purty and I'm not worried about the manufacturer. I'm worried about the most I can get for the least amount of money. Now the only other thing they have here is the 115 grain Makarov 9mm ammunition which again Russian ammo 1000 rounds for $260. This is steel case Let me read this off for you. Nickel plated steel case. Now that's kind of interesting. That's like the what, silver bear? Nickel plated steel case manufactured in Russia by Novosibursk plant, packed 50 rounds to a box and 1,000 rounds to a case. So it's cartmouth 115 grain hollow point. Bulbus bouffant type. In other words, it's got the big hole in the front. Find out what that will work for you. Next. 4.10, a lot of you guys listening have 4.10's. Now 4.10 I've actually been running into all over the place, or at least they've got some 4.10. They might be out of everything else, but they have 4.10 available. They've got, what is this? Let's see, four pellets of triple-odd buck. in a 410 shell, 200 rounds for $165. Now I know a lot of you guys have those judge or governor revolvers etc. that's cool but also for your 410 that's a nice little load for the 410 for the average young man out there, a young girl out there who's got a 410 top break. You're putting 4 copper pillows down range, you've got to hit something with that. Again, definitely a useful load, price is reasonable. They also have 12 gauge, 7.5 shot, 250 round case for $75 to $95 shipped, $75 base price, 95 shipped. So again, take a look, see if these prices are useful. Remember that silly billet slash cellar bellow is typically boxer prime brass case. There's a number of different loads that are available there. Also flares for the 26.5 for those guys, those of you who are looking for those. Yes, they do have flares. Check them out, see if it's useful, fit your niche. And your wallet, you've got to decide that. I wouldn't worry about buying the Iraqi dinars right now, though it is kind of a cool offering. You can be a millionaire for only about $1,000, but I can be a millionaire from Zimbabwe for $1.25. Actually, a multi-millionaire for $1.25. Hell, I'd be multi-millionaire. I am. Actually, one of you guys sent us a couple of million dollar notes. I'm already a millionaire. Of course, I couldn't buy a cup of coffee in Zimbabwe with it, but at least it sounds good. Yeah, you know how that works. Anyway, for everybody else out there, again, there are one more thing. I don't know whether or not you want to apply it or use it, but they do have pepper spray 5. They're outdated. They're just outdated for carry for certification and also for insurance purposes for the police and all the cop shops. So again, 5 for $10. Check that out. Go down through the scroll. There's a lot of other stuff there. Again, that's unamo.com out of Arizona. They do have some 30-30 also in bulk. If you're looking for 30-30 it's Wolf, brass case, 150 grain copper, FSP, and it'll work just fine in that lever action you got there. You all understand what I'm looking at. And again, Serbian made by the way. Wolf, which should be Russian, but it's Serbian manufactured 30-30. So it'll work just fine in that lever gun for you, especially those plinchesters. Okay. and or the marlins neither one or good rifles don't sell them just buy more ammo for him don't sell them just buy more ammo for them now another thing here real quick uh... another question about p r c seventy seven radios there are in p r c seventy seven radios for sale you can have a look around a lot of are showing up in the uh... resale market out there with the uh... You can also use the internet as far as the different services that are available. Remember that's picking a poke in many cases. If you can't go and drive to where that is, something showing up that has something wrong and you're not sure how to fix it, beware. A lot of the companies have been established. Fair Radio have a lot of parts and on occasion even get 77s, ANPRC 25s, ANPRC 8910s, you name it. And if you have questions, one cool thing about fairradio.com, fairradio.com, F-A-I-R, fairradio.com is that they've got pretty knowledgeable staff, guys specialize in certain areas, you know, niches. everybody those cognizant what they have in the inventory and and of course can get the job done if you're looking for spare parts if you have a radio but you need antennas uh... if you're looking for knobs if you're missing uh... you know battery box or whatever amazingly enough the stuff is out there there are people who have collected that and or sold it uh... for quite some time fair radio is one of them but you have to look to see what they have first of all you check their webs website but don't get frustrated by just looking at their website Guys, they have too much junk. It's like Sarco. They got too much junk. You've got to call and find out what they have. They'll go back out in the warehouse. You'll be like, let me work out with Frank. And they'll be out there and you can hear a client clunk and drawers sliding. And oh yeah, yeah, here you go. Let me check right here. I found some. Yeah, we got what you want. What do you need again? And they'll go through the process. Sarco's like that. Now, Fair Radio, what they want you to do is send them an email. What do you need? Okay, we'll look for it. And chances are we may have it on the shelf, which is cool. So they're helpful. They just have different systems. Each company works in different ways. Work with them. They're doing that for a reason. They love to sell stuff to you guys. Don't think that they're not trying to sell stuff to you. It's just that it takes time. When you've got a lumber yard and some of the two by fours aren't where the rest of the two by fours are, it takes time to look through everything. It's just that simple, especially with surplus and especially with industrial surplus. So I just want to make sure you understand how that works and what it is we need to be looking at. By the way, there's a lot of other radios that are out there. Military packs are cool. Yes, we don't. No Uncle Samuel knows all of those frequencies. But a lot of people use the equipment because they're, number one, familiar with it. Number two, they may also know how to modify it. And there are some people that will open the dash and open up the radio so that it does things it didn't originally do or they may change it out completely. That's personal preference. And remember, if you can't talk to all the other equipment that's out there that you do have that's a comparable model, then it kind of defeats the purpose. So special modifications need to be taken into a particular niche. Otherwise, remember that or special equipment, it can be used for very narrow and specific operational security projects. while the rest of your equipment serves the public venue or part of your military support venue to include medical support, etc. Signal communications with medical support to me is a basic rule, guys. What we've seen is as crucial as any because evacuation or support of casualties, slash personnel that are injured, is a time issue. It's one of those situations where, again, being able to route the pickup or the maintenance personnel, the support personnel, to get somebody moved, get something where it needs to be. so we can get the person out of the area of activity, evacuated back to supply and to the support and to the medical cycle through the aid station, through to the surgery operations, through to the convalescent phase. All of this requires signal communications. Now again, that doesn't mean we use it like a cell phone, but in some cases we may use it just as a cell phone. In other words, you can be talking an individual through assisting an individual because we may not have doctors, nurses, or field medics that are available at that moment. Well, somebody is going to step in. See how that works? That's how it happens, kids. It's just how the program gets plugged in. Anyway, a couple other things here real quick. Let's see microphones and headsets also. Now there's a couple of other companies that we've been looking at and I mentioned this before. There are two companies that have four backup and support techniques for you that are building up a micro station. A lot of you guys are going to be building up a micro station or a radio base station. not just with one rig, but several different rigs. I like what we're doing right now with the Channel 31 program. Whenever we use Channel 31 CB, that is one of the several frequencies and or pieces of equipment that are benchmarked for R&D, research and development in an area when we're testing equipment. We all know how that works. That's part of an SOP here in the state of Michigan. The big thing is that remember microphones, headsets, not one of. I cannot stress enough, not one of, but rather multiples. Try to find a source, cheapest with the mostest. They don't have to be perfect. The big thing is to have spares and have replacements on hand. Stuff happens. Cables get cut. Stuff gets bent. Something gets coffee spilled on it. Who knows? The big problem is that things happen. So, rather than going, oh my god, I've got to run out to Radio Shack or I've got to run out to whatever, the objective is to have something on the shelf as a backup or a spare. And so we're looking for those items just to have on the rack. They're not going to sound as good necessarily, but we're getting noise out. Remember, in single communications, we're not worried about pretty when it comes to combat operations. We're worried about getting the sound through the static, through the background, through the jamming, through whatever. Again, just making sure that the message continues. Again, that coffee pot spilled on something very embarrassing, but it happens. www.goldmine-elec-products.com www.goldmine-elec-products.com Also, www.allelectronics.com www.allelectronics.com www.allelectronics.com e-l-e-c-t-r-o-n-i-c-s dot com all electronics dot com you're gonna be plugging in technology you've got the ability to uh... again uh... establish a base station guys you want to three mike's mail so i have more than one person coming up on here now you can share mike we've done that many times so we've been shared phones to do programs guys you would even know it You get really good at being able to queue up, give the person the phone, they take over back and forth and you'll swear we've got a microphone and we're running in the studio. But we're not. We've had to do that before. Well, guess what? It's better if you have splitters and connectors and make up a kit, which we've had for years, so that we can create a studio in the field with whatever's available. The same is to remember if you're operating you may have more than one rig operating simultaneously. Let's say you have a base station. Well, it's cool that you have your favorite microphone, but remember you may have assistance. Operations may expand in your area. There may be a need to have more than one radio grid operating and sending signal out depending upon mobilization. So having more equipment there is really, really, really a good thing. And I'm stressing this for a reason, because again, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Most important is palletize the stuff too. Set it up so it can be transported. Set it up so that it's all in the same kind of container but ziploc bags sealed up, secured. One of the neatest things you can use for shelf control nowadays, guys, if you go to the dollar store, they have these little food tubs of all sizes now. Round ones, rectangular ones, square ones. cake-sized ones, sandwich-sized, they're clear like GLAAD or they're, let's see, Betty Crocker, there's a number of different ones, and they have blue tops, they have clear blue tops, clear red tops, clear green tops. You can get them in colors. Now, colors are a really good thing because, remember, you look at something, you know, red ones, I know what that is, green ones, I know what that is, blue ones, I know, oh, see, you don't just randomly put the stuff in there. you can easily see to a degree what's in the container, number one. It can still be in a Ziploc bag, protected from moisture. In addition, the packages, these Betty Crocker containers, are also airtight, watertight. They hold fluid. Well, if they hold fluid in, they also keep moisture out. So that makes for a really nice system. Plus, they stack. So you can have microphones, you can have spare speakers, you can have headsets, connectors, cables, everything there, and it actually is itemized. Now it won't hurt to put a label on the inside on the end. Notice I didn't say tape it to the outside. How about instead you make a label and you put it inside? You can see through the container, use white paper and a big black magic marker. And that way you'll be able to see microphone one, microphone two, microphone three, microphone four. You can even put a little description underneath where it says, microphone, and bigger letters where it's easy to see. But all of this is right there. This, by the way, is also how you can do your reloading nowadays, guys. These containers, I go to the recycle bin and I get eight or nine or 10 of these. I've got a box full of these things right now. And I'm starting to move them over into electronics. Because it's neat. I can have color coded and I can have a container that allows me to make packages up. Now as I find something, I've got like say maybe the battery pack and I've got one little handheld radio, but I wanted a couple of ear sets for that, ear buds, I want some other stuff. Well guess what, I can actually step by step itemize what's there, put it on the shelf and when another goodie falls into my lap for free, or that I find with a box of junk, I turn around, pick it up, and sort it out and I've got each individual rig now completely built top to bottom, but I can do it patiently. and I keep it sorted and separated. This way I can also start to sort and separate by type and model or by frequency bandwidth so that I can use it for whatever it is that I, again, for a particular project. I can hand out all these. I know these all work. I know they've got all the goodies in the bucket in each one of the little boxes. Congratulations. By the way, I can look. No, that was not complete, but hold on here. We're going to switch out and use one of these from over here in the Goody box. And we'll put that in there. Now it's complete. Congratulations. There you go. So again, with all this dollar store junk, more importantly, it's not just dollar store junk. A lot of the things in the grocery stores are coming in these containers now. Everything from sweet potatoes to sandwich meats to whatever. Well guys, the meat is in plastic bags inside the container. Have you noticed that? So they stay really, really, really clean. Well, wash them up, bleach them up, whatever you want to do, and they're done. Now of course you might have to fight with your wife for some of those so that's why I pick out the ones that somebody's already used a little bit and they've got microwave, bubble on them or whatever because I don't really care for sorting tools and parts and pieces. So those go into category two projects where I'm sorting seeds for instance, that's where I'm starting to switch the stuff out to that or use those two. These containers are handy for a lot of work but especially for electronics. sorting containers like that typically cost money. If you're going to do production operations where you're going to build stuff, let's say that I wanted to, and I'm working on this right now, if I wanted to build a whole bunch of micro FM transmitters. I know how to put them together. I can do an FM100 in one night. I can start soldering towards the end of the day, say after dinner, and if it weren't for the evening programs I'm doing right now, I could sit down and do a complete FM100 kit and be done by between 11 and 11.30 at night, starting at about 5, finishing at about 11.30. Now that's a lot of picking, a lot of sorting. In fact, Edward and the boys, have helped at different times to sort out the parts. We get a kit and I sit down at the kitchen table and we just go to town with a solder iron. And very, very quickly we have an FM100 transmitter, an FM micro transmitter. Now granted, right now you can buy these others we've been talking about. They may actually supplant a lot of the FM micros that we're going to be establishing here shortly because they are readily available off the shelf. But I've got so many parts pieces and assemblies and we have the basic parts list for the FM 100 The only thing that I have to do is some programmable chips and those. We have somebody here that used to work for Motorola now and he will do that. So I can virtually copy every aspect of the FM100 and I can start making them as, you know, in other words, what you do is make trays up with the individual parts using these little sandwich and glad trays that are free. And you do just like they do in little China Sport factories and the Indonesian and Malaysian factories. Hell, they use a little throwaway styrofoam plastic containers or cups guys. Mostly they use styrofoam cups. And they pick apart, they put it in, they solder it, pick apart, put it in, they solder it, and they're working a mile a minute guys. They're boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. They know what they're doing and they get paid for a combination of production and only get so many bowls of fish heads and rice if they don't. In our case, we're looking more for being able to crank out a larger number and doing a little production line thing where I can solder so much, I can slide them sideways, the little containers are right there, the parts are numbered. Everybody does the same thing over and over again so there's no confusion. They get really good when it's a production line. So that's the next step. That's one of the things I'm working towards by sorting out my junk parts. and desoldering and assembling the components that we need. It's not hard, it's just again, it's a little time consuming, so I have to share time. Another thing is, and again we've talked about this, batteries. Now, two things. If you have one of those, Hang-ang-foy, or, Hang-ang-foy, handheld radios. If you have any of those handheld radios, Many of them are battery pack specific and now there's two ways those battery packs are set up. One is like what you see with the cordless telephones. They have a battery pack, in fact I have one on my hand right here. It's one I just pulled out of a handheld unit that somebody was throwing away. I didn't want to carry the whole thing away nor did I want to pay for the whole weight of the thing because that particular unit was beat up. But lo and behold, it had the power supply worked right off the bat so I know the batteries are up. Well, the thing is I just got that for a dollar a pound. So I think I paid what, 11 cents, 12 cents, whatever it was for this battery pack, these three batteries. Well, if I have those types of battery packs, they have a little umbilicus slash a connector where you plug from the radio slash or the phone into that battery pack. Now, if something happens to any of those battery packs and they're set up like that where you've got one that's fragged, don't you throw that out. Not until you disassemble the thing, I don't care if it's crushed, I don't care if it's oxidized, I want you to take and peel off, take a razor blade and cut off that plastic outer shielding. It's usually a shrink wrap outer ceiling that holds the three. It covers the three batteries or the four batteries. And I want you to follow the wire back to where it's connected to the battery for the little umbilicus, a little plug connector. Snip it off as close to that battery, in fact flat with that battery if at all possible. Then find the other end of the other lead, do the same thing. Save those plugs. We can always make up battery packs, but those little stupid plugs are a bugger. So I'm warning you right now if you've got a bunch of these pieces of equipment and you have that kind of battery pack system, guys, then save, even if you're going to toss out the batteries, oh I'm not going to do what Mark's talking about, I'm not going to fiddle part with that, I'm not going to save the batteries, at least save the pigtails. Cut them back as close to the batteries as you can because remember that's the length you're going to need in order for you to put another pack together. Now the reason I say this is because those stupid little connectors are a bugger. and since somebody already made them and since you already paid for them, keep them. OK? Now otherwise, unless the battery pack is really mucked up and leaking and bleeding or crushed or damaged or burned or whatever, save the whole battery pack. And then later on if you've got time, you can test it and find out which of the batteries is bad. It will not be all three batteries. All three batteries have not gone bad. Only one of those batteries is a bad cell. And even then it will hold a charge. Now let me give you an example. I've got to sort stuff while I'm sitting here sometimes and hear that. Those are batteries that I know are old rechargeables. Are they good for a long time? No, actually they'll hold a charge for the solar cell. For about an hour and 20 minutes or so and then they're gone now the rest will run through the whole night These are batteries I bought with solar chargers with little solar individual batteries for the individual solar cells You know lights outside what five years ago? I think I got my money's worth out of them They ran for two years and three years outside They still hold a little bit of a charge in fact the ones I have in my hand right now these Okay, these were in the little solar cell recharger and they came up, but they won't hold for very long. They're tired, they're getting old, but they're good enough for little projects like, click boom! Oh, I don't need much power to go, click boom! Somebody steps on something, boom! Something connects and, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash. All kinds of fun stuff. They can do all kinds of things. Purely when they make the connection, that little battery has enough juice to go, bop! and that's all it needs to do because it's going one way but it's also rechargeable so I can use it for throwaway projects. I mark them accordingly. These are tired batteries but they are up to charge. They would even run a little handheld radio or whatever for about a half hour to an hour. not for long but they are still usable so I'm not going to throw away rechargeable batteries if at all possible not yet even alkali batteries with a slow trickle charger like the one I've got my hand here I had one running it's got four batteries in it today they brought them up not complete to charge but actually enough that I can actually employ them for other little solar battery projects that I've got around here solar solar cell projects or I just want to experiment to see how long I can get them to run Typically, these little alkali batteries with these slow, trickle, yard-like chargers, you know, it's just one battery, it's one little solar panel on top. Guys, they'll go for between five and seven days, six days, non-stop. They'll charge back up, they'll hold a charge all night, and eventually they peter out. But remember, by the time I've surrendered them to that project, those batteries were already on their last legs to begin with. Think about that. So again, power, energy. We are not going to be throwing this stuff away because we have too many other places where we need to use energy that are going to consume our higher grade batteries. Progressively they're going to degrade to B category, C category. And last but not least, if all else fails, load them into the muzzle loading cannon and shoot them down range and stick them with a bunch of AA and AAA batteries that are horrific when they hit. How's that sound? Fougast dump them in the in the in the muzzle loading pipe that's pointed down range when you cap it off with electronic matching it goes kaboom metal parts pieces of glass Batteries everything going down range at well about 2,000 feet per second That's enough to do some damage to somebody if not if not a greater velocity See the other words of all spells. It's heavy. It's metallic. It's nasty. It'll cut them up It looks like a big dumb dumb projectile going down the ring, spinning through the air until it hits somebody and well then the sky's the limit there. So nothing goes to waste. Besides, later on they're going, he got shot with a battery? Yes, he got shot with a battery. Several of them. Oh, it's horrible. Yeah, think about it. It would be. Anyway, batteries, batteries and more batteries. Now the other thing here again, make up little kits. Like we're talking about those little battery packs and saving little pigtails. Well, make those little clear containers we're talking about. Watch the recycle bins. Watch recycling day. People throw these out all over the place, guys. I think I got close to 50 or 60 of them this last Thursday. Just by going through one neighborhood and lo and behold, yep, there's 10 there, there's three here, oh, there's a bunch more there. Okay, cool, that's enough. And just be patient, keep collecting them, you'll get what you need. Now, another thing is copper wire. Now, steel wire is out there, but I'm going to warn you about something that's showing up now. Copper coated steel wire. Yeah, those little Chinese, they're fooling everybody. It shouldn't be a surprise, but it's going to be something we're going to see more of. Steel cable wire, by the way, is something that the Germans used for their field telephones for years. In fact, the Germans have used steel for almost everything simply because, and there's different grades of steel guys, so we're not talking high carbon, ultra resilient, bounce like piano wire, no, no, no, no, no. Steel can be made more grades than I could possibly count. The Germans have perfected the steel technology for military operations simply because they knew that copper is always in short supply during wartime along with other strategic metals, but they have lots of iron. So, steel wire does work, but remember that where you can find copper wire, don't let it go, please. The newer Chinese telephone wire is thin as it can be. Quality is low. We've expected this. It's not a surprise. They've got the two rabbis working in the Chinese wire plant. They're pulling that penny as far as they can to stretch it out as thin as possible. And then they're still snipping parts of it off and stealing it. What do you expect from the rabbi? It's what he does. Anyway, as it is, those Chinese wiring systems are going to be less and less, shall we say, reliable for cannibalization. So older stuff that was American made and higher grade should be kept and retained. And I know it's tempting, well, I said I could turn it in for scrap. Yeah, well, can you get something to replace it that's of comparable quality? No. So that's another thing taken into consideration with wiring. Save it up, continue to collect it, and remember that copper is one of the metals we're going to need for other purposes too, not the least of which is our money supply when the time comes. We're going to be going back to a sound money supply. Wouldn't we do? That means we're going to be using specie currency, guys, real currency. And you're going to be paying, oh, and cash! That's right, because things will be cheaper. You won't need 50,000 digits, idiot digits, to buy something. Mark the numbers will change we got George here George. What do you got? I just made this face sounds stupid, but I've seen them on clearance in a few places I'm Those nice sharpening stones if they're important for the movement I see them on clearance a lot Oh anytime you grab stones are valuable no matter what and even if they're not a better quality stone I'm gonna remind everybody the course stones can be used for things like shovels and and for doing what's called your coarse dressing on any of your heavy blades because there are two steps to it. Number one is if you've used a blade or any kind of metal object for cutting, trimming, sawing, whatever, in many cases you've hit stuff, you've bent stuff, things get broken, things get worn down. Before you start using your fine rasps that are worth a lot of money, Using a coarse stone or a coarse rasp is what you do to dress and get the basic angle and cut. Then to do your final dressing and your final cleaning up of the blade to get whatever you want in the way of an edge and it doesn't have to be razor sharp with a shovel. You may just simply use that coarse stone or use that coarse rasp to get the job done and it's enough. But yes, the stones are definitely worthwhile and everybody should have a collection of them. And remember, even if you don't know how to use them right now, you're going to get really good at it. It's one of those things that you don't think about until after the fact. And by the way, using a stone like you saw, Coleman, using a stone in the field, well, even there, they'd be a little, let's just put it this way, you're looking for something that's a little more geometric, flat surface for creating consistency. The round stones, I guess, they, it was what you could grab real quick and it looked real cool. But that's not how you do it. So again, having sharpening stones on hand is definitely a good thing. Some of them are very fancy, but remember, the process of making those stones is very dirty. and very few companies in the United States produce them anymore because it's mostly overseas work, it's mostly been done overseas and you know it's out of sight, out of mind in the US. We've got one company here that does abrasives to include those types of abrasive stones. They've done it for as long as I've been alive and they're in an odd spot in the county and everybody turns a blind eye, smells terrible. I'm sure they create all kinds of toxic waste going into the water but if they didn't do it there we wouldn't have it. You know what I mean? One of those things where if you want it, somebody has got to make it. They've been around for a long time. They've got a lot of unique stuff laying around too. Stones are something that they make. They make grinding stones. They make hand stones and other technologies for the industrial application. That's why, yes, buy them when you can find them. Especially if you can get them for free. Watch for grab boxes. I find them in grab boxes all the time where somebody has got one and they've maybe used it a little bit and then they throw it out. The Chinese sports stuff is going to be kind of coarse as you've seen. A lot of times it looks very porous like a sponge. Again, that's a coarse stone and may not be that resilient. Quality varies obviously too. Go ahead. Also too in our local paper, I was sitting there reading the comments, I can't believe how people are stupefied. The CPS supervisor told a couple if they ever want to see their kids again, they have to get a divorce. That's not a judge, that's a pee-bait social worker. Well, that's a lesbian who hates the idea that you've got people that are probably still, they haven't broken the mold yet, they still have a husband and wife. Well, they can't have that. Besides, the lesbian is probably lusting for the female, the woman, the mother. That's typically the trash you've gotten, child-perverted services nowadays anyway. They're either looking to molest the kids or they're looking for a way to go after the woman. And I ain't talking men. I ain't talking men going after women guys. I'm talking just plain, you know Garbage anyway, go ahead. Well, one of the comments was some woman named Kim and she sat there and said My homophobic ways I should lose my sons because I teach him to be homophobic. Wait a minute who said this a lesbian and Facebook Commented me say my homophobic ways. I should lose my kids. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, whatever you again to the queer so the queer can pervert them, right? We're at war Here's how it works. We're at war. I really could care less. Try and see what happens if you try and take them. We're at war and I already understand it. One of my friends around here, it wasn't for me or a few other guys who were downtown in Houston and a couple of these queers tried to slip him a roofie so they can pass him out and have his way with him and we got to him before they got to him. That's how nice the queers Well, the problem is, again, around the country, there was an interesting conversation I had today with one of our friends about, not perverted services, but the whole thing about the education process. Everybody is lamenting about the education system. They are dumbing down and stupefying people in the public fool system, but the ones that are doing it don't send their children, if they have any, to the public fool system. We have a whole bunch of teachers here that are flat out teaching communism and they're raving cart holding communist party pigs, but they don't send their children to the public fool system where they're doing the core scam. They send their children to a private school with traditional construction. You know, the logic is there'll be royalty. You will all be dumbed down to thinking in math in terms of pictures. In other words, you won't be able to do math, but on the other hand, just by being able to do a math problem, their children will be your overlords. They really do think this way. If you pay attention to all the B.S. that's generated in their own circles, it's a power thing. They're all making themselves into at least outer party royalty. Not inner party royalty, but outer party. They'll be the overlords cracking the whip on us peasants because we don't know how to do anything. Oh, but by the way, those teachers that are bragging that up did it to you. The ones that are pushing all this BS don't put their children in the public school system. What does that tell you? Well, just like for me, I rather have armed volunteers, parents who can kill, carry, patrol the schools because I do not trust teachers carrying guns. There are teachers, there are very few. The biggest problem is all of them are being conditioned and being through the socialist scam, the same as all the rest of the garbage they do. So the problem there is quality and degradation. There are people that are conservative and older that are still in the school system that one way or another were brought in by people of our mindset. They could handle weapons. I don't doubt that. Let me put it this way. Here in Dexter, we had a teacher who every year brought a whole pile of weapons into class and he is a Civil War buff. Now, every year he did this for as long as everybody can remember and all of a sudden because of the leftist parasite pigs that moved into the area, he does what? What do I want? I remember you've done this every year. Everybody knows what's going on. Nobody's had any problem with it. But once you get the anal retentive idiot pee brain control freaks in, moving your... They've abandoned and run from wherever they came from so they can pee in your pool with their socialism here, then of course they frag everything. And it's amazing. When I went to school, guys, every stinking car had a gun in it. I hate to tell you, we're out in Dexter, we're not that out in the boondocks. But when I was going to school, and I mean we're talking the 60s and 70s guys, your point, you don't have a shotgun, it's hunting season. Or even if you didn't, everybody went out to shoot. We didn't have any school shootings, we didn't have any problems like that. People knuckled on each other, people got into fights and such. but handguns, shotguns, rifles, and that's why I laugh at these parshicle idiots. It's only because they've become such panty-waist and incompetence and have no connection to any reality whatsoever that they're dangerous. It's the Twilight Zone crew. We didn't have this garbage before. Were it not for the dope combined with the idiocy generated by the public fool system through the socialists that have come from the college, you know, college Soviet system, it's only because of those idiots and incompetence that we have the problem we have. Seriously, and they created it. It didn't happen by accident. They created it, guys. That's what BS... Oh my God, there's a shotgun in school at your point? Hell, some of the schools, in fact during the season when we had like, for instance, when they had Hunter's Education, whatever they want, safety, gun safety, Hunter's Education, everybody used to bring their shotguns in, guys, and put them in their lockers. Oh, imagine that today. Instead of being like, I brought my Ithaca Model 37, I got my 870, I got a Mosberg. Of course, that one didn't have the big name it has now, guys. Go ahead. One of the things that I know you've mentioned this before, I'm just going to mention it again real quick. I keep around a box of those powdered You buy a box for like two bucks and they're great to have around too. They're all kind of cheap. They're easy to put on because they're powdered. Yes, they're pre-pouted. Actually, it's what they also provided. Remember with your chem gloves, although the ones they use for the chem gloves, forgive me, those are an inspection cloth glove, but they're actually pre-pouted and so are the... Typically they use to pre-powder the gloves themselves, which makes it, if everybody doesn't understand that guys, you always try to fight to get something on and off. Well if it's talcum powdered, slides in and out real easy, very quickly, very efficiently. When you're working with anything, I don't care what it is, even electronics for the most part, you remember that typically when I'm doing microelectronics, I'll try to keep everything as clean as possible. And those inspection gloves are especially handy for that. When I do reloading, Guys, you're handling metals. The inspection gloves are so stinkin' cheap it's ridiculous, but when you're handling stuff, put a pair on. There's two reasons for doing this. Number one, in the earlier stage it's to protect you. In the later stage it's to protect the brass because you have body oils, you have salts on your fingers in your body that will create corrosion. Once you've polished everything up and you've cleaned everything up, why are you going to all of a sudden change your standard? Put the inspection gloves on and use them. You'll see when they start to get dirty or they start to crud up. Well, take them off and put another pair on. Create cleanroom type environments. We can do this so simply with all throwaway junk. And it's so cheap it's ridiculous. With reloading using these trays we were talking about, guys. I'm going to I hear people putting like a ground wire or a static wire. Static guard is an issue, yes. Well, static is so much a problem. It is an issue that you have to be aware of, especially with certain components with electronics. And in fact, also anti-static spray. Anybody who's working with ordnance, we have a lot of ordnance companies around here that are within short distance. They do fireworks, they do 40 millimeter flares, things of that nature. They invest a lot in static guard and static guard technology because static is usually what kills you. When you're doing fireworks, if you're doing explosives of any kind, it's the static electricity that gets you killed, guys. Years ago, and I'll guarantee you this is what happened, you had this bomb factory that the Puerto Rican Liberation Front was operating in on the east coast. They had over 10,000 pipe bombs. These were all leftist. 10,000 pipe bombs. Well, they were putting them together and somebody got sloppy and, well, let's just say that that five-story building wasn't standing. So what got them is typically when you're putting things together that are threaded, well, the static electricity that you build up, remember, is transferred to the metal pipe. What happens is the powder has a tendency to flux over onto the threads. When you take a cap and a pipe and you have munitions on the threading and you torque it down, you create pressure and you create heat and between that and the static electricity pulling a little more of the material into the channel as you create a little magnetic field there, what happens is it goes, mwah! So static electricity and munitions are not your friend. Always remember that. Static electricity is not your friend. Anybody who does fireworks, they buy cases of static guard. They do. Especially if you're doing, in fact, all these big companies that do the fireworks displays, which by the way make great artillery shells. You ever thought about what it would be like? Think about this guys. Remember those ones that go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, that they don't have a whole lot of flare? Can you imagine if you took one of those and angled it about 40 degrees and dropped it into a wood line? What would that be like when those go off? Wouldn't that be a little artillery barrage? Would you want to be underneath those when they go off? Would you want to be amongst them when they go off? Wow, I guess we do have a lot of cool stuff laying around out there that if we applied it would be kind of neat I really wouldn't want to be down range if somebody took a commercial flare a commercial you know firework and Pointed it towards a tree line and knew what the range was and knew what the cavitation You know the expansion point was for detonation and if I calculated it right and I threw that into a tree line all That would ruin your whole day Because all of those components with phosphorous and all kinds of fun stuff and the different oxides to create color, they burn at different temperatures but they all burn really hot. Would you want one of those stuck in your face? or it wouldn't be just in your face because look at the burst radius guys. Well, Mark, that exposed real quick too. Yeah, remember a good point to bring up there guys, static electricity, not your brand and you need to pay attention also to the materials you use around your loading bench for the exact same reason. Well, Mark, it's holding up here and by walking I touch my kids, I zap them. Yep, now just imagine that was something that goes boom. God bless the republic. Unhuted, unhuted. We're going to take off, but it is Communications Tuesday, which means Joe's coming up next.
