His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O 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 in a 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? to still the land of the free Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kirky. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, southeast, and east. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard, top of Maine, bottom of Florida, bottom of Florida, across the ark of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Joe, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, Pitt and our friends, the 7 sisters, soon to be the 9 sisters on the left side of the state. New transmitter headed their way right now. Even as we speak, I know it's in the mail because we saw what happened with it earlier today. Anyway, Colorado, the Recall State, you guys did a great job of making a bigger list of the bad guys, which is what we need to see happen. Got faces, plate numbers, safe houses, all kinds of other operational information needed. When they start their lists, we start ours. And it's a matter of who tit for tat gets them all done first. I think we'll do a better job. We outnumber them. Anyway, waving the left coast, the state of Jefferson and other occupied areas, we turn back to these sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi land and the Smokies, where the restaurant crew's gravity team's okay teams, the mob, the government consortium bringing us the Golden Spike. Dom, gray? No, it's clear and dark outside. Whoo! It dropped down fast. So, what's it like in your neck of the woods, sir, and what is the date today, please? Well, it is overcast here, Mark. You don't see a single star in the sky right now. Hopefully that'll hold some of the, I hate, it's the exaggeration to say, heat in. But hopefully it'll keep us a little warmer throughout the night on this, the 12th day of February. Year of Our Lord 2013. It is a particular day, no matter how cold or warm. You might notice, if you've been listening over the years, the procedure has changed more on that in a while. In one hand, I have a magazine and in the other, I have my trusty 1911 and now I insert the magazine in the well and touch that slide release. Man, there's one in the chamber now. Just because there's nobody busting down the door, I'm going to drop that mag out and I'm going to pick up another chicklet. It used to be in the chamber and it's going to go down in the magazine and it's going to go back and then with magazine between index and baby finger goes back in the magazine well and we can tell everybody it is weapons Wednesday the perimeter is secure and most certainly there is more where that came from. And that means we can offer equal opportunity coercive force when the time comes. Well speaking of time you know you heard that change in of procedure there at the beginning of the hour. We've addressed that once or twice. Years ago you'd hear, one in the chamber of the slide jumped a battery and the magazine well is filled and it is. Weapons Wednesday, the perimeter is secure and most certainly there is more where that came from and Mark would elaborate on that very subject. In the interim, it's good to, Mark, sometimes like you talk about looking at an audience, sometimes I feel like a bucket. I go to the well and somebody lowers me down and they twist me back up and I'm full of more knowledge for everybody. But sometimes I go to the well and they lower me down and I come back up with their knowledge. So it's not a real good analogy, but you know what I mean? Because, well, someone called years ago now and said, well, describe the action of that extractor in that 1911 and compared it to a particular rifle. Well, it's not good to load that chamber because over time eventually you beat that extractor. But if there's somebody getting ready to bust down the door, it would be good to have one in the chamber. And in a combat situation, it would be good to have one in the chamber. Thus, the altered procedure of putting a full magazine in, charging the chamber, dropping the magazine, all the while you're paying attention to which way the gun's pointed right. And you might even want to click on that thing that JMB put there on the side, you know, it's called a safety while you're manipulating another round into the top of the magazine and inserting the magazine back into the magazine magazine I know that magazine well But then you've got well in this instance of stainless steel magazine that will carry eight and one charge in the chamber So they're the first nine are doomed. You see how that works Now they might come with glocks with 97, you know in the triple-stack magazine and have 87 other magazines. But hey, this is where calm, collected, and taking aim makes a difference. Because as I said before, the first nine are doomed. And that's the way you have to see it. When you start thinking like that, your world gets a lot more practical, doesn't it, Mark? Okay, Mark must have stepped away for a moment. I was trying to find something else here for you. I'm sorry about that. Go ahead, please jump in there. I'm sorry. Well, again, it goes over to mindset. We talk about this all the time. We could example it in another way and talk about the knockout game. The guy who walks, strides through the crowd. The pirate on the deck, so to speak. The full grown man. Generally, he isn't picked as a target. It's the guy who's looking at the floor and shuffling his feet and his hands are in his pocket and his shoulders are hunched over and he's trying to get along in the world because the world is so mean and cruel. Well, I know that the mean, I almost said something there, I know that the mean is world and cruel and I do my very best to deal with that. See how that works? Instead of just, oh my gosh, the world is mean and cruel and I'm going to have to be Casper Milk Toast and I'm going to have to go get, I'm going to have to go to the grocery store. I hope I come back alright. Well gee, let's go out and do some hunting and gathering here and while we're at it we might have to do some, take some defensive measures or even something offensive. But gee whiz, you know, heaven forbid you might even start to think like that, like a grown man. So there you go. It's mindset you guys and again to think well, there's nine in the chamber. Well, there's nine in the weapon and To carry that thought the first nine are doomed. Well, hey, that's like, you know me and my sword are one That's like me and this rock in my hand are going to rule this line. It's like me alone with nothing else and everybody else if nothing else We, you know, me, myself and I will get through this. Now factor that times a team. Yes. And you are a devastating force as it is an individual. See, this is one of the things that we've been pointing out with actions that have just been made to disappear from the news. They just had one happen again here. It showed up on the radar screen and I figured, okay, I come back to it. Anything talking about where the group of, well, in the police state have attacked a single person, In other words, they've been decimated. They've been beat down so hard that the quantities of KIA, WANKIA's are in the tens. In other words, a 3, 4, 5 dead, 7, 8, 10 wounded. Well, that's with one man with an attitude of the type we're talking about. Now, as long as you all embrace that mindset, a team with that mindset is devastating. We talked about this with the idea of how to deal with the Boston-type scenario. How would you deal with this if they were coming to an area? and they're going to try to do a sweep or a house-to-house confiscation. They're going to puff all these idiots up and they're going to be stupid enough to come out and dry something. I have been pondering on that, Mark, since we brought that to the hour and over the years, you know, and trying to bring a relationship to it that everybody can understand. And I don't mean to be childlike or simple, but you guys, let's go to something that we all can recognize here and then we'll take it to a more modern stance, so to speak. Do you remember The Patriot? Or do you remember any movie about the American Revolution or the Napoleonic Wars where the armies lined up on one side of the field and the other side marched into line? Remember that? Wars used to be fought like that. To a certain extent, they still are. To a certain extent, because you'll understand the comparison in a moment. But let's stay in that timeframe for a moment. You're in the middle of that front line formation. You might have one or ten or forty stacks of men behind you, but you're the front. You're the very front line and you're right in the middle. Imagine that. Oh my gosh. But there's an equal force beyond you and they're there. What do they call that? They're staging they're marshalling right there in front of you And this is the gentleman's way to make war you know you don't until they're ready to shoot at you You don't shoot at them, but these are bygone days more on that in a moment because this is how we segregate things. This is how we More on that in a moment, but now understand this there is a phrase to your front Now that doesn't have to come out with a British accent or an American accent. It could come out with a German or a Russian or most any language in the world that fields an army with firearms or bows and arrows or spears. Because that man all the way over there on my left flank, the very end man, guess what his target is? His target is the very end man all the way directly to his front. Now, this works successively right down the line. If I'm standing in the middle, my target is the man in the middle, isn't it? Now, there might be slight discrepancies with the man standing next to me and the man he picks as the man in the middle. We might put two bullets in him. Hell, he might get the man from each side of me. He might fall immediately from three, but the man on each side of him still stands, doesn't he? See how that works? You might think Don you're talking into antiquity and you're gonna get us all killed thinking like that. Oh hell no listen to this when you're laying in formation in the woods in the in the ditch or you you have a whole building and you're the whole wing of this building and you're seeing this formation March and They march up the road in front of you When you open fire, you shoot the man directly in front of you. If you're the very end, now let's go back to that. If you're the very south end of your formation, your array, and here comes La-di-da and Do-di-do and do-do-do and they're marching up right there, and when your group opens fire, you're the very end man and all of your group is to the north of you, you shoot the man exactly south. Because the man all the way north in your formation is going to hit that man on his end, right? Now this also works with groups of men in the street, whether they're standing in one place or they're standing around trying to read a map or they're getting ready to go hut, hut, hut through a door, doesn't it? That's called standard operating procedure. If I'm at the south end of the column, I have no reason to shoot at that man at the north end of the column. Not unless he's and we've addressed this there are particular situations if he's getting ready to stand in the machine that you know flip the switch and everybody on this side is blind we've talked about this when the special machines come on to the area all attention is to be Brought to bear on them be they the Humvee with the odd-looking antenna and then that Look it over there that Humvee they must have satellite radio. They must be watching satellite TV there That Humvee needs to be eliminated as soon as it is shown on the battlefield. When the rotary wing comes in overhead, aircraft heads up. Mark, you pointed this out so many times. The attention on the battlefield is a constant threat. When heavy things move in, that can be a determining factor. It needs to be eliminated immediately. All attention needs to be focused on it until that threat is done. until it's getting across the ground in a ball of flames or it comes to a stop of its own accord and coasts into a tree or three or even cooler over the cliff or into the enemy train. But again, to your front Needs to be a tent paid attention to because if we don't work these as basic standard operating procedure We're going to put a hundred bullets in somebody and the other 42 people are going to be standing there saying oh my gosh He just turned to a cloud of pink and in the next instant They're going to be wondering what happened in the next instant. They're going to be shooting back when they should have all dropped dead to begin with See how that works to your front needs to be studied. Every corporal needs to work this into his man. Every sergeant needs to work this into his charge. Every lieutenant knows this already, doesn't he? Your area of responsibility. to your front, your area of responsibility. You are given avenues. Typically, again, the fire team leader may do this in a rigid defense or even in a hasty control point or ambush. Either for defense purposes, he will move, the fire team leader or the squad leader will move through and identify your areas of responsibility. This way, interlocking lanes of fire are established. Now, there are different techniques for how those lanes of fire are developed. In some cases, as you were pointing out, no matter what, there is a point at which you will engage targets directly to your front. And there are specific points where there will be a call-out order, just as we're talking with air defense. These are SOP, Standard Operating Procedure. They do not require elaborate individual instruction upon the process of contact. In other words, you have practiced, you have trained, you have practiced, you have trained, you have trained, you have trained. It becomes second nature. The only thing that is required is the disciplinary order or the command order to move to that action. And from that point forward, it is an automatic process. You simply need to know your areas of control. And if the order would be given, for instance, to your front, That is to your immediate front virtually along the line of fire or the line of control. Now the line of control can be in an S pattern, it could be in a box, it could be a defensive line, a hasty defensive line, and that determines, again the approach or the position of the enemy determines front. From that point forward, or again, depending upon what type of position it is, your front is from the epicenter of your control. And that can be a company platoon even down to a squad with 10 men pointed in 360 degrees. Each man with an area of responsibility. And they execute the action accordingly. In a motion of the type we were talking about, like the Boston scenario, having to deal with secret police on the street, The only thing that I keep looking at with these are these it's freebies It's like the idiots coming in clinging to the outside of a vehicle guys you know that life expectancy of a tank rider in combat in the Russian army was between 11 and 17 minutes and Most of that 11 to 17 minutes is where they would kick off from them from the what's called the FIBA the forward edge of the battle area and They would be dead within that 11 minute period typically, but they might have 17 minutes to because it could be a back echelon you know like the third line of troops and The Germans of course would look at them as nothing but organic clinging sandbags Now clinging because every once in a while someone got hooked up instead of falling off as a corpse or in front of the vehicle off to the side in front of another vehicle They might just hang around for a while Mechanized troops or infantry attached to armor are jokingly called organic sandbags when used in that method. That is a term that some of you might recall or remember if you're a tread head. The whole idea of all these images that have been captured is the arrogance level that they are demonstrating purely is for the show and the camera. In the past few moments, and again, the more of them that are dead quickly, the fewer will correct the process. They will not think to. This is why, again, allowing for no survivors is especially critical, guys, because if there's no one to tell them what mistakes were made, the same mistakes will be made. I couldn't help but interrupt because that's how it works. They'll be like, man, this is like, why is this so easy? After a while now, it doesn't mean you don't have to be prepared for someone finally figuring out that there needs to be a game change. But especially when you look at these actions, I mean, can you picture a squad or a handful of men engaging these idiots riding on the outside of these vehicles, hanging on the left and right side? It's the freebie that they get to showboat and do that coming into an area. But if it were an actual fighting scenario, all the stuff that you see is a crock of BS. Totally useless under real fighting situations where, yeah, they can be introduced quickly. It's kind of like, you know, moving in with a helicopter. But remember, yes, assault or infantry in a real fighting situation. The fact of the matter is that if you try, and if there's any kind of prepared defense, this is why WACO, again, is so critical to understand, the exchange ratio is 5 to 1. with regard to your assault troops losses as opposed to the defender. It takes more bodies to get to the position you're trying to take than it does for the defender prepared to run on. And remember, the defender need only survive. The offensive force must vanquish. That's what they came for. Yes. So they have to, you succeed as the defender, you succeed purely by surviving the action to whatever level while destroying the aggressor. And the more damage you do, the progressively, shall we say, less ambitious the assault force is. something to consider unless you have command of the field. You know the old like Sergeant York syndrome guys where they really don't understand that they think they still have command of the field and there's only two up front and you know 14 to 20 dead bodies behind the guys that are the last to be shot. See how that works? They believe fully in their heart and their mind. It actually there's a variation. I've noticed something that they're trying to rewrite the Battle of New Orleans and a bunch of other stuff and it's the Brits that are doing this by the way again. I haven't brought this up down. You know, when the Black Watch, or should we forgive you, when the resurrected British units that showed up at the Battle of New Orleans engaged frontally against the militia, guys, the one officer made it through to the defensive positions. Most people don't realize this. At the final part of this assault, which was done as you've always seen partially in fog, mostly just the idea that it was tall grass, fog intermittently, the din of black powder, the pall of black powder hanging over the battlefield in mass which created more man-made fog. Approximately 13 to 17 men made it to the first revetted spike defense. that was in front of the infantry positions that were destroying the British. One officer made it up to the line, calling to his men behind him, assuming that they were still out there. And he literally fell, critically wounded, into the arms of the defenders. And they, seeing the actual situation, took the man in arms and laid him down and didn't kill him. Of course, I think he was badly enough damaged, they figured they didn't have to. But psychologically for the offensive, you know again the invader He was sure that the you know The whole unit was behind him moving every step of the way now an interesting thing is when they finally did you know sound the recall? There was a comment made by one British NCO He was amazed at how many of the dead seems to seem to resurrect home the life And fall back to the rear very quickly You know Mark, that's a really good point. I'm no tactician, nothing like that whatsoever, but I mean it makes a lot of sense. The offender, the people that are coming to get you don't give a damn. The people that are defending are defending their country and their families and their liberty. I mean, they care. I mean, the people that are coming to get you... We're going to make it count because it counts for something for us. Yeah, and people come and get you the interest. They don't give a damn. They're just doing that because some clown told them to. Plus they figured there's their profit tiering. And this is one of the things that also, again, and it's brought up, and I've been looking at a lot of these foreign sites, and I know we've got people listening from England, but these are battlefield facts. They've tried desperately to berate the militia wherever they can because needless to say if you're an empire or if you're an elitist, the last thing you want is the general population to be armed or to even think about the idea that being armed is successful. Well, no matter how you look at it, they don't grow soldiers in a potato patch off to the side somewhere. The military in any form in any government comes from the general population. But the militia, especially with the founding of the United States, there was no regular force before that. So we were all militia fighting for our homeland to begin with. And then there was a restructuring or again, a financing of particular elements that segregated off. The Marines were a corporation, literally. Why do you think they call it the Marine Corps, guys? Just a little hint there. The Marine Corps? And it was the Corp. No, yeah, it was in what? Corp? How do you spell corporation? The thing about it is that the fighting forces that came to the United States The occupation forces in Boston before they came out, they were told that they were going to get booty. They were going to get prizes that they were like traditionally they did when ransacking Europe. When the French came west or they went east or north or south. What did the corporation mark because the marines generally operated at sea under maritime law? Under maritime law, exactly. They were created in a bar where a handful of men got together and basically created the uh... the naval infantry that we all know is the marine corps from that point forward of the interesting thing about it is though that again as as i would point as i have said many times you guys if you listen to the program when the british left concord they didn't go preem and with their pretty uniforms all squared away and then progressively got haphazard and dusty guys they left burdened with booty They never show the wagons filled with the baggage from Concord. They never show you the troops with bundles of curtains and or bedsheets that were used to hold the property they had stolen from the people of Concord. And the biggest problem that they had was choosing between laying down the booty and following orders and fighting. You see and it will be no different this time, you know, these characters are all puffed up on themselves But they're they're already sticky finger sticky finger thieves now Imagine where they tell them that they can turn up the heat on America and you know what's coming it's not an if it's a when you know there's enough idiots of all walks of life that are in there it's not just one particular click there though there are a bunch of ring knockers and they're going to figure they're going to be the the royalty leading these packs of pirates and by the way as i've said before remember pirates of the caribbean is an example of the international banker trade and the shysters and all the symbolism is there especially in the last movie that they did where you see all the different international pirates together and they're all in the league and they have to stand for the code. And you pay attention, you know, the symbol, the same thing is happening with regard to these scallywags that we've got on the ground. We're not supposed to figure this out. Well, the bottom line is, is that because of what they've had to do to get them to that mindset, the arrogance level in and of itself will be their demise. The important thing is that we take it seriously from the get-go with regard to the fight and we must destroy them. There will be no quarter given, there can be no quarter given. That was the Branch Davidian's mistake. Look what happened there. mark you know mark mark you said when you're in the army you you up i i heard that you are mandated tell you i guess that you did the uh... work in the night like take it like if the army ever took on the american people from every scenario and you always found out any conclusion i thought the american people beat the army michael well actually there's a number of exercises and only that but through the nineties that was admitted there were a series of interviews were taking place in the early nineties and Several characters from the pentagram were being interviewed by Canadian press. What they did is they had this thing called the editors. They had individuals from the Canadian press and individuals from the American press. They were all flapping their yap and of course they all figured they could just, you know, they forgot the cameras were there. and the can heads were telling the Americans, confiscate the guns like we're doing in Canada. You people need to do this. And the American journalist said, I don't think you really understand what's going on here. Even if we look at the lowest numbers, there's 60 million people willing to fight. Now that's their number, and these numbers, he said, these numbers come from the Pentagon. He goes, our contacts and people we interview in the Pentagon have flat out admitted that every scenario they map out where they try to fight the American people, they lose. Now the only way they can overcome that, which is what Holly Weird and the Jewish Mob does, is they pull all these movies where, like I said, the CG thing is the latest thing. Oh my goodness, if only I could find an army that could do triple somersaults, have five-story buildings, land on their feet but fire two magazines while they're in the air, under their armpits, over, you know, under their crotches, and land feet on... I just want one of the bottomless magazines. That's all I want. Oh yeah, one of those forever mags. Well the bottom line is they said that there's 60 million at least that they'll admit to that they figure with the other naysayers or the stumble feed or people that go belly up or go yellow that there'd still be the largest stinking army on the planet that they'd have to face. And that's their admission. But the same thing is true back in the day. I dealt with this back during Rex 84. I had this one major who was one of those arrogant buggers who was licking the arse of the bureaucrats that were showing up during these meetings. I had to laugh because he said, we don't have any commonality of ammunition and they don't have this. He had to have no clue what's out here because the character was totally isolated mentally. And everything that he brought forward, it's like, well, I could sit there and go step by step through and explain. You really don't have an understanding of how well armed the population is, do you? Apparently that general's never walked through a swamp and put his boot in a place and just drawn out his foot. Yeah, Mark. mark according to a sub-patriot broadcast is that google and dark with their artificial intelligence have or a gory war games civil war where they will win yeah yeah whatever well here's how that cut that works out every video game in the world changes every time you turn the machine off and plug it back in see my problem with the problem with that is for any idiot that brings that up this is where you have you have the characters that have no spirit and no spine You have to ask who programmed it. I've dealt with a lot of different aspects of planning an organization because of that. Because no matter what, guys, anybody who's honest and has been in the military, and when I hear somebody say, well, I did this and only this, well, I'm not so sure how much of the military they participated in because anybody who's been in the military knows, especially if you're in command or operations, in any job you've got, you wear more than one hat all the time, not sometimes, all the time. you share time. I've never known a time in the military where we didn't share time. Ever. And we never had enough time. In fact, Nancy knows I put in too much time. In fact, we got to the point where we weren't even being paid. And the only thing they could do is give us retirement points. And then they realized that we were working our arses off so much and putting so much time in that they disallowed us being able to get just retirement points. You want to know why? Because we were stacking up so many stinking retirement points, I could have retired in seven years, not 20 years. Seriously, guys, I'm putting Nancy now here right now. I didn't put her up on the phone. She remembered the day that happened. It's like, well, okay, we've got to get this done. We go in. What do we get for? Well, we're not going to pay you for this part of the cycle, but we'll give you retirement points for the additional time that you put in because we've got to get this done and we've got these schedules to meet. So I did just exactly that. Everybody else did the same thing. Then all of a sudden they start looking at these numbers and here's all these people. The people that sit on their ass and do nothing, they book the regular time and leave. And then they take credit for all of us working our asses off, guys. Then they turned around and after that, then they were pissing and moaning because here are these characters who sit on their dead ass and didn't do Jack's squat. It's like people who don't want overtime, but piss and moan about people who make a big paycheck because they take the overtime. It was the same scenario, in this case all it was was retirement points, but you've got to understand, when you're in the military you have a series of issues that have to do with dealing with promotion points. There's a promotion formula. One of the things that the retirement points did is demonstrated performance. The whole idea is that it made things askew. The yes men lick your ass, or excuse me, arse people that would do nothing. Well, they couldn't get ahead by just flapping and licking the butt of the management because they hadn't been performing. This is all stuff like this. This is part of the many reasons that I figured, you know what, I really don't need to be doing this anymore. Because we watch this over and over again. All these yes men that everybody's so terrified of, they're worthless turds. These yes men that are in the military right now in management who will say anything that that bobble-headed, bat-eared, teleprompter-reading meat puppet wants to hear. That's why when we went into majority-minority report activity, many activities are almost 50-50. Example is, and again, I can have Nancy, you can tell you, we were so frustrated. We predicted the taking of the Iranian embassy two weeks in advance. We knew we had, actually, three weeks. Three weeks in advance, we already had the window date time placed. We knew it was six weeks to pretty well what the window of activity would be. We were the minority report because the army made up 49 percent of the reporting element. The Navy, of course, took a 51% probability rating with regard to what they were talking about. So, because Carter liked the Navy more than liked the Army, he decided not only to not listen, but he decided to exclude all minority report reports from that point forward. He only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear. That is a fact. Nancy could tell you she could sit right here on the microphone and tell you the days when we sat there and said, well, this is where the Iran's gone. And here's what's going to, you know, everybody knew it. Anybody that was honest knew it, guys. But it's not what the regime wanted to hear in Washington. So when everybody says, oh, it's feudal resist, blah, blah, blah. Let me give you another example. Has anybody seen this BS that they're going to be testing the new, you know, hyper armor in June? Yeah, what is that all what is that? I don't know let's put it this way It's every day is bulb your buddy on you know on sick. Uh sakunda prime You know what, what would you do if you had people stuck in suits that weigh 300 pounds or 200 pounds plus your regular combat load and are purely relying upon electricity and hydraulics? What would you do? Because I mean, long day I know. Well wouldn't you, okay here's the thing, this does two things. It tells me we don't need smaller weapons guys, we need bigger weapons first of all, right? Now, think about the philosophy I've argued for years, but I'm going to emphasize this. I argued this for a reason. Everything that everybody talks about, whatever they can't get you to be scared about one thing, they ratcheted up to something bigger. And then they ratcheted up to something bigger. We're going to have dinosaurs with hydroelectric bodies, and we're going to mechanically inject up the ass of the dinosaur to soldiers who will be embodied inside the dinosaur, which will be natural organic armor. and we're gonna grow bigger teeth on them and they're gonna have claw fangs on their hoofs and by the time we're done it'll be feudal resistant and what will you do? See that's how stupid some of this stuff sounds. What would you do if you were engaging mech infantry like that? You blow their stinking leg off. Notice I did not say legs. Just one. Have you ever seen a human pogo stick? You think about this stupid, you know why this is impressive to all these other people? Because most of them are panty-waists. who will never get up off their dead arse and fight for their liberty but they'll piss and moan about everything that's out there going on or they'll eat this stuff up generated by your enemy because after all he said that he's done this DARPA thing and it's feudal resistant you'll be absurd really so you walk up and blow the brains out of the operator sitting at the keyboard he was telling everybody it was feudal resist. Well, reference the earlier portion of the description of you know to your front and when a specialty item comes onto the battlefield what do we all do we shoot the left leg everybody shoot their left leg everybody shoot their left legs and not mostly left and right it'd be everybody on my mark on my trace what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what No. Let me ask you something about applied physics with regard to land navigation. How much of a footprint do you leave in the soil with an 80 pound combat backpack? I'm talking about you. Every one of you listening out there right now. How big is your shoe size? Do you make your shoe size get bigger when you go cross country in the field? Do you do something I didn't know about? Have you got frog feet? Now let me ask you something all of this BS are coming up with we're talking about adding two three or four hundred pounds of crap to somebody's Abomination for a war gaming tool. Okay, I don't see any improvement in terms of distribution of weight per cubic inch Or forgive me per square inch I don't see any tracks on their ass. I don't see any... Guys, think about this. Unless he's got Johnny Jetpack, which don't worry. That'll be the next thing they pull out of their hunt again. Oh yeah, well we're gonna have jetpacks now too. Rocket packs! We're gonna end another 68 pounds to this. And when we hit the ground, let me ask you something. Any kind of ground, but especially wet terrain. We're in Michigan, guys. I've walked into... I've been a hoplite infantryman and almost lost my arse to infinity. in 60 foot muck piles that are in these mucklets that are in these swamps. And the only thing that saved me was holding my rifle perpendicular to my body. And I almost went through one of those holes once in the middle of nowhere. And it was the rifle that stopped me. And if it hadn't, I guarantee I wouldn't be here right now. Now, you're telling me, and that's hoplite infantry, that's with basic combat load, no special gear, and not tearing my backpack. Now, you're telling me that these Boofs with 400, 380 to 400 to 500 pound combat kits are going to be able to move cross country. Do you really believe that, guys? They're going to be great on the, I mean, they'd be great for standing in the street corner, but even then it's like, what do we do, Frank? I want everybody to blow his left leg off. From seven blocks away. Yeah, from as far away as I can. With the biggest bullet I can, with all those 300 wins, those 30-out-6s, all those, see, we should be going the other way. Eventually, yeah, we'll be using bigger guns that are bigger still. We'll be using, wherever we can run a 50, we'll run a 50. It'll be second nature because if all the stuff is doing what it's doing guys, you're not gonna go you shouldn't be going down in weapon size You should be going up in weapon size But you see how they're trying to convince everybody in fact, you'll even see I'm gonna bring this up Thanks for bringing this up guys. You got me on a whole series of thoughts that I've been working on the last couple of days You'll notice in all of the magazines, especially the tactical mags. They're starting to intentionally incorporate Ragging on the 308 and on heavy rifle calibers Now guys, that's because the character is doing that work for the government and they are propagandizing everybody because they even made the comment, well there's, I didn't see, I'm not like a personal thing like it's like it's just an attitude thing. I didn't see any significant penetration difference between the 308 and the 223. Well then you must have had your head up your arse. But the fascinating thing is that when they make comments like that for the uninitiated they're gonna be listening going Oh, did you hear that? I got to have an ER 15 if I don't have a black plastic rifle I just won't be able to win the war or I won't be able to fight well I do I don't notice I don't say don't have the black plastic rifles We've even told you how to build them But for the majority of what we're being told for every time we have these cowards into these dunderheads or these Suck ups and after a while you got to figure they just must be working for the other side Bottom line, let's be honest, guys. They must be working for the other side because otherwise they sure as hell aren't motivating the troops on our side, are they? You know, Mark? Go ahead. Listen, I'd really like to see somebody make a movie of what actually happened on September 19th, 1775. I mean, what actually happened? Oh, really? Yes. Yes. You know, I've never seen a movie that anybody actually did the real fact. You know, because that would show exactly what militia can do and exactly what Americans do when they're determined. Because we tell that story and it's quite a deal to watch people see exactly, you know, farmers and shopkeepers basically take out the 82nd Airborne. When the time came, remember, yes, they were the best equipped, best trained, all the best, best, best, best stuff. On paper, it was simply not possible for that action to happen the way that it's described. But for that matter, the whole stinking war was that way, but it's because of the attitude and isolated population with a can-do mindset and a spiritual foundation. See, that's what people don't want to talk about. What it comes down to is, in any situation, if you look at, for instance, the Battle of the Bulge, if realistically we take the same mindset, these characters are yapping about all the time, the Battle of the Bulge was virtually a masked army group of some of the best equipment the Germans could put together and some of the best equipment made in any army at that moment in time because of a combination of optics, penetration, range, etc., and the amount of firepower they could focus. against an embattled inferior force losing progressively its supply base with no resupply possible. And for all practical purposes, if you read the numbers, that should have been over in about the first 14 hours. If you believe the way these naysaying scourdly, they flummox their spine out. And whenever they do this stuff, it's like, I expect to hear a boom, and to see the guys, you know, sit a little farther up in the chair and see some bloody streak on the back wall where they full mix their spine out and then they start to rubber out. Because the whole process comes down to focusing to be, you know, to get past the fear. Americans could do that. Americans did do that. It doesn't mean they didn't get scared. It doesn't mean there weren't people who weren't scared. But the people that held all of that together, the core that held that together, were Americans of a very different cut from anything that pretty much was on the planet at that time because they also were motivated. And it was an issue of property rights and it was an issue of wealth. And it's not greed, but it's I'm going to keep what's mine. I have a right to keep what's mine. I know what's right. They have some damn good leaders too, Mark. And the best, and I will emphasize the best, there's one book called Washington's Generals, if you can find it, I still think it's the best. If you go through it and evaluate it this way, how many of the professional soldiers held their course or did the right thing? You know, one of the Lees actually, who was an arrogant bugger, who kept peeing on everybody that was a militia officer or general, He got his Sariars captured early on in the war by a British Dragoon unit and it turned out the unit that captured him was a unit that he had captured and he thought he had led in Europe when he was a European commander. Okay, every one of these characters that we have that were the quote-unquote, well, they're professional soldiers, mmm and ah. Well, guess what? It was those professional soldiers that lost us massive amounts of materiel. In fact, they also caused many of the other failures that otherwise, in fact, they snatched failure out of the jaws of victory. Literally, more than once, because of those quote-unquote professional soldiers, we lost ground or we had the initiative, we had everything where it needed to be. They were the naysayers, the militia commanders were not. And it's the militia commanders that every time that something was demanded, how about the Canadian campaign at the beginning of the war? Again, whatever we say, Benedict Arnold, nobody used to talk about Benedict Arnold. I understand why, because it was a black mark that he did what he did. But from a realistic standpoint, in the early stages of the war, had Benedict Arnold been properly supported instead of backstabbed by the commercial or professional officers who had their own agenda, which I still think was to betray us? that what happened is that if he had been able to, if he had been off the reins without the other restrictions, the whole northern campaign and the whole idea of them coming from the north would never have taken place. And he would have done it with less force. That's the kicker on this, is we've talked about economy and force and the ability to use your manpower. The numbers, you know, are just not possible. That's all BS, guys. Take a look at action after action where the militia was outnumbered or at the very least equal in strength. So supposedly that would be the equivalent of being outnumbered. And they literally mopped the floor with the regulars. They knocked them down and they beat them out and they took their colors. This happened over and over again, but nobody focuses on that. It's like when they talk about Kips Bay. Kips Bay was a minor action by comparison to so many others where the militia was vastly successful. The militia commanders were vastly successful. Here's another thing to remember. Most of the campaigning that you see with Washington was only one part of what was a massive battlefield. where skirmishes and actions with the militia, which fought the lion's share, about 85-90% of the actual fighting was done by militia. And if we count the fact that the continentals didn't exist until militiamen came forward and joined the continentals. So it was really 100% militia, but the continentals that tried to lay claim to a lot of stuff, which is the whole regular army scam, Well, let's be quite honest that all these other actions that fought along the coast, were it not for the naval militia, the coast would have been ravaged. Were it not for the naval, or, you know, the, forgive me, the coastal militia artillery, the British Navy would have landed anywhere. And there are accounts of, I mean, there were thousands of actions, guys, just like we have rifle skirmishes. There were thousands of militia artillery actions. that kept the British at bay, that kept them from landing or securing areas because they didn't have confidence. And they weren't small actions. The naval artillery militias of the coast measured in thousands and thousands of guns. That's something you never see. Again, the mobile element like Washington's Army was a major force, but it was a minority in terms of numbers. Now part of it is they never did get the supplies where they needed to be, or for lack of management, the supplies didn't get to where they were supposed to and then the British got them. But we did that to them a few times too, more than a few times. Go ahead, George. Mark, I think I was reading about Texas history. Between the time Texas became a Republican and when it became a state in the Mexican War, I was reading that Texas militias, the Texas Rangers fought off the Mexican invaders because Mexico kept trying to take Texas. between now and when it became a state in the American border. It's the same issues we had up here with the territories in the north. We had many, many actions where the territorial militia had to deal with the British or the Canadians under British control time and time again. The official war of 1812 wasn't the only action that took place, and I'm sitting on real estate where that happened. where this house sits right now, the property I own and the property around us. This was part of the French and Indian War and part of the War of 1812 battlefields. And the actions both before and after that were the unofficial wars where they come across with a little bit of fire water and some extra tomahawks, they would get the Hurons and other tribes to come across and wage war under British leadership. And that happened more than a few times. So in both directions that was the case. And it's the militia. In every case it was the militia that saved the day, guys. And they tried desperately to rewrite that because they've got to try and make you believe it's feudal resist, you will be absorbed. And I'll point this out again. 222,265 deer died in Michigan officially this last fall. Now I'd like you to show me where they have in any part of the country as a whole 222,000 people to pull from but we're not just talking the state of Michigan. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, everybody deer hunts. If every man out there that got pissed decided to just go out and shoot one of them once and put their guns away and everybody just did that, the wretched machine wouldn't just grind to a halt, it would cease to exist. They don't want anybody to think that way if I just walked out and said next time I see one I'm coming out of the toilet I'm gonna shoot him right in the arse or if I know he's sitting on the toilet I'm gonna shoot him right in the arse and if everybody did and then just put your guns away just gone done if Every man did that we wouldn't have enough moves to go around even for all their DNR even for all their secret police even for all of their postal you know postal SWAT teams even with foreign troops The bottom line is, is they know this, which is why. What was the first thing they went into after this election? Get the guns, get the guns, get the guns. And think about it. This is the year 2014. We're now into the next of these BS, you know, of course now they just voted to eliminate the limit on the budget. Right, guys? You know, everybody caught that. They passed that through the House. Well, guess what? So they kicked the can down the road and now the can just disappeared. Isn't that amazing? Now that means they didn't fix anything that means this ship is sinking the ship is sinking the crazy Yeah, the crazies turn the gun tubes down into our own hold and pulled the tray pulled the lanyard guys Instead of throwing the bags or chart of bags of concrete into the bullet holes in the sides of the hole they built a patio Yep, exactly And they're gonna be a little farther up on above the water level before she's all slips beneath the waves, but not by much Yeah. And that's what we're facing. But remember, what was their first priority? It wasn't the economy one year and two months ago. One year and two months ago, their agenda was kill the gun owner, kill the NRA members. They were banging the gong. And everybody who told me, oh, they're not going to... People said this, guys. Oh, they're not going to come after the guns. That's just crazy. Oh, ha, ha, ha. Well, they'd already been coming after the guns. And now they just put it out in your face. But guess what? The Yes Men didn't have their way, guys. So for all this BS what it comes down to is us staying focused and building and that means speaking up and building doing what you can every way you can. Organize, arm, equip and train as militia. Don, your number for night vision, you're going to be available in a minute and they need the night vision technology. God bless the Republic.
