Live 365. Bless this Republic. And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our krinky. 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. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, and we are on AM&FM micro stations, AM&FM major stations, CB base stations. Good afternoon to Channel 27 and 29 along with Test Frequency 31. Don't know where you are at this part of the week. I believe we're done over on the west side of the state so we have been relocated, but I don't know where. and the alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third, fifth pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waiting to the left coast where the state of Jefferson is doing its part. Jefferson Nichols The Jefferson $1 coins and $2 Jefferson bills, remember those are all government currency that can be used to reinforce Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson! Just keep doing it. Then there's the rest of the occupied zone. You guys are doing your part behind enemy lines and we appreciate that. Keep up the good work. Organize. Arm, equip, and train as militia. War is common. Not an if, just a when. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains and leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi line and the Smokies line, the Blue Ridge. Well, the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the mob bell, Grandma Consortium of Retired Telecommunications Workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million Peddicote Junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, it is a beautiful blue-gray time. We are headed past sunset. Now, over the horizon, we do have a little bit of cloud cover. Very high, high altitude days that has strolled in. And for that reason, again, we can expect hopefully to keep some of that heat we built up. We'll see what happens there. But in the meantime, as we know, it is why one of the most significant days of the month, it's Thursday the 13th, which means absolutely nothing. It's totally irrelevant. Oh no, we're supposed to be horrified, chew on your toenails, shake and quake in your boots. Oh, Formics and lose your spine! It is the 13th of February. It is the 6th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K-2014 Old Earth calendar or Mayan. Crazy town! calendar right here. That's right on the big channel, the big station, libertytreeradio.4mg.com. And many other things. We appreciate the work being done there. It is, by the way, it's been a really good day. Got a lot of stuff done, a lot accomplished. Happy with the end result here with one of our experiment projects, test projects that was going on with the radio. And I believe we are going to be able to recommend a couple of different micro FM solutions from deal extreme. We now have three different transmitters that are in service that people are working on here in the area within the state. And so far out of the box, tuned it up, hooked it up to a bigger antenna, and looks like with the 8 watt out of the box about 10 miles. easily with a standard FM tunable antenna. Now there's a couple of the solutions I'm going to bring up here in a minute for directional broadcasting with the micro-FM's. That's something we do need to touch on because there's a sale going on with Ramsey Electronics. But in the meantime, one of our friends called in this morning with some feedback off of Royal Tiger imports and the equipment that they're selling. Now I'm going to point out that Royal Tiger Imports buys one of the same wholesalers I've dealt with for about 30 years. In fact, they used to be up in Virginia. They moved down to Georgia. Most of the people who even work for the company don't even know that they used to be in Virginia, but I'm one of those people that does know. Anyway, the company... It's interesting, none of their employees know except for maybe one. Anyway, the interesting thing is that Royal Tiger Imports buys from them, they're right out of Georgia. In fact, they just do west of where the company is located. Royal Tiger Imports, their phone number is 407-203-4861. Forgive me. That's 407-203-4861. That's 407-203-4681. Now, they do have a couple of neat things. One of them that's showing up in the scroll here, by the way. I don't know if anybody has seen some of you have. I don't want to dent such crunchy pictures on these but there's the Polish barrel archer .223 rifle. That's out there for $1,000. I don't know if I'd really pay $1,000. I like Polish equipment. Polish gear is fantastic. That's $1,000.223 AK and I can buy a lot of other weapons for $1,000 that are heavier. Cool rifle. Need if you got it but not my high priority. It's the gun that the Poles probably went to. satisfy the boy toy whores that are in Warsaw that have sold out Poland. And they are stuck with the 223 round now. That's just the way it is. Bolland's been bought and paid for by the Shysters and they're going to be used as a toy for manipulation in the East now. They flip-flop back and forth. It's so sad. Anyway, one of the things that was brought up, the AK47 for mag package. AK47 mag pouch with four 30 round AK mags. Gunsmith Special, now that's what it says there now. Anyway, used mags are all military surplus and while they do show signs of wear from their days in service you can't go wrong with a handful of classic all-steel AK mags. Note, mags need some work to be functional, some are dented or slightly warped, but will be functional with a little work. Magazines accommodate AK-47 type rifles, 7.60x39. Now the package is $34.95 and whether or not this is the gunsmith package that he bought, which is $34.95, $35, there's others that they offer different packages on the page. I'm going to go through those in a minute. What was identified is that apparently the followers seem to be rusted into the body of the AK of the magazine. Forgive me. Well, the gun looks really weird and they can't get it unloaded. It doesn't work that way. We're talking the follower inside the mag. Now, if you haven't disassembled an AK mag, you need to, because you can relate to what I'm talking about. Most of the AK followers, although there are some variations on the theme, the traditional AK follower has two slab guides that are on either side that trail underneath the cap of the follower. They're all one piece. It's a stamped piece of sheet metal all kajunk, done a one piece. When it's done, it works really well, but there are surface contact points on the inside of the magazine that are usually a little higher than others. This is because, again, it's a stamped piece of metal. They're not oriented for them back even when this was heavy tech. It's going to be well built. Back then it was five and dime guys. AK mags were supposed to be five and dime. You're supposed to crank out billions of them and in many cases they figure they're going to drop them and have to replace them. Okay. Now because of this, the contact surface on the inside is usually along leading edges of the follower. They wear and tear. The finish is worn off or progressively abrased off from contact. Then what happened in this case probably is they were stored somewhere damp or they were stored when they were taken out of service. They could be Polish, they could be Romanian, they could be Bulgarian, they could be Russian. so well if you figure there's so many millions of a k g figure out how many comedy hundreds of millions of mags probably are out there i mean they just keep cranking them out kajunka kajunka kajunka and there are no brushes not the only one was doing this china was too and even korea the allied korea you know are korea is selling you a k mags now guys have you noticed that that's the korea that's supposed to be an outside they don't use a case South Korea's got the day war the m16 and some m14 still they don't they don't use the ak But they're cranking out the ak mags aren't they so there's a lot of different ak mags and by the time you're done with the render evolution companies While they may have bought a bunch of polish and they may have bought a bunch of Romanian remember that these things have washed back and forth and back and forth So you're probably going to see a slight mix in the used bundles However, they're pretty consistent with construction. They were pretty well stamped out the exact same way. Why reinvent a wheel when the wheel seems to work? So what you're going to have to do, number one, is understand that you've got probably the magazines locked into the upper of the followers, locked in the upper position. Let's say they had some ammo in them and they might have pulled the ammo, but progressively it falls out like chiclets if the follower is frozen in place, if it's rusted a little bit. Solution. Well, first of all, go out and get yourself. Don't try to beat on these things. Don't try to do a lot of tapping or anything yet. Don't even think about it. Don't bother. Instead, let's do this intelligently. Go get yourself some penetrating oil, some higher grade from your auto store nearby. They'll tell you what they think is the best that they've ever used or what they like. Usually, $8, $9 for a container. Now you don't wash anything in this stuff. You don't just pour it on long. Number one, the amount of adhesion you've got going on between that follower and the magazine is quite minimal. And although it may have spread progressively because oxidation, all the material is trying to go back to the soil. Once you have a place where the surface material is compromised, it will expand from that point underneath the finish. Despite the fact there's still an anti-oxidation coat of paint, of parkerizing, of bluing, of whatever, that may still be there. So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to make sure those magazines stay upright with the follower up and the base of the magazine down. We're going to run a bead of oil inside the magazine along both of the flat walls, left, right, and a little bit to the front and rear of the follower. And then we're going to make sure they stay upright. And ideally if we can, let's angle them back a little bit so we keep the top of the magazine parallel with the surface of the desk. In other words, you're going to have to make a little rack, you're going to lean them up on something, whatever you're going to do, you want to make them so that they stay upright and so that they're uniform, so that you leave the oil doesn't puddle on one end of the rust of the leading edge or the other, where the magazine follower is making contact with the wall of the magazine. You want the oil you've applied, the penetrating oil, to get into all of those surface areas. It will work into the rust. It will progressively, after a day or two, become much more cooperative. Now, we're not going to take a piece of metal or a file or something. No, no, no, no, no. We're not going to take any metal and beat on the follower. OK? I want you to go get a piece of 2x3 or 2x1, or forgive me, 2x, just lighten me in the microphone, 1x3 or 1x2 wood. I want you to carve that down a little bit, the end of it, so that it doesn't make any contact. Cut the piece of wood, make it about whatever is comfortable for you to work like a chisel. So how about maybe a foot long? Rough off the edges, clean everything off. Don't leave any slivers for you. It's always embarrassing when you stick yourself with something you could have avoided. But we're also going to take a sander, or we're going to file down the one end so that we make sure that the wood, that 2x1x2, fits between the feed lips and obviously the front and back of the magazine. Now what we've created is a punch, a wooden punch that's going to give instead of the metal giving, but it will allow you to apply force. Now get a wooden mallet, a rubber mallet, or a hammer, I don't care. And on the other end of that, once you insert that into the magazine after you've applied the oil and let it sit for a couple of days, all I want you to do is wrap it. I don't want you to beat it. I just want you to shock it. Make sure the wood is placed onto the follower and I want you to take the mallet or the side of your hammer. Don't have to take the tip of your hammer. Take the side, turn your hammer sideways on the top of that wood and use the flat of the hammer to slap that piece of pine. Now what will happen is it will send a little shock wave through everything and that may be just enough to break it free. Tap it a little bit more. Just strike it and see if you get some motion. Now you may have to apply a little more energy and you might have to be a little more aggressive and that's a personal choice issue. But don't take a piece of metal and score up or fold or bend or spindle or mutilate the follower face. There's no reason to do that. Wood will give. Wood is replenishable. Wood is cheap. Your followers are not. Now, if we do free it up, you tap it free, tap it loose, continue to work it down. You of course may or may not have disassembled the mag. You can disassemble if you want, take the base plate out. If the spring won't come out, don't start pulling on it and stretching the spring out. Leave the spring where it is until you get that follower clear of and it's moving freely inside the magazine. Now it may take a few wraps or taps. Again, it would be a good idea also to use a wooden surface to work on, a workbench, or make up one, and make up a work surface area. That way, again, you're not beating up the magazine. You should be able to tap the thing out, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, and eventually it might even just push out by holding the piece of board and sliding it in or pulling a little more on the spring or on the follower itself, pushing it through with your fingers. A number of different options, but the idea is to carefully work the follower out. You're going to see where the oxidation is. You're probably going to see exactly what I'm describing. You're going to have a series of contact points that have oxidized into place because that contact surface abrasives the inside of the magazine, scoring away all of the material that's designed to keep rust from developing. It just happens. It's the nature of things. Everything wears. Now if it's really bad, I mean really bad, I doubt that, but if they're really really really really bad, you can take the followers over to a bead blaster tank and bead blast them carefully. Don't be wailing away at it, but you can clean it all off and bead blast it, glass bead it, don't sand blast it, and when you're done, repaint it. Paint the follower, very light coat, and after you clean it up, inspect for rust, polish it off, maybe take some number four steel wool to clean it up to take any abrasive surface off a little bit. Then paint it. Enamel paint, hard coat paint, engine paint. If you're doing the engine paint, use an old oven or a cooking oven to harden the paint, bring it up to temp. Not a big deal there. Some people have their own. They put them off to the side of the garage just for that mission so they're not using their wife's stove. There's a number of different tricks to that. You figure it out. That's not my issue. That's not my problem. When you're done, Clean out the inner channel, identify where the material was adhering from the magazine to the magazine follower, clean that up and make sure that that's all polished and squared away too. You want to put a very fine coat of either dry lubricant or you're going to lightly lubricate once you're done. the inner channel very lightly. In other words, we're talking a drop of oil and spreading it over the surface. What this does is create a seal with the exposed metals so that they don't rust. And you're going to have to do maintenance like this on all your mags eventually. Your air mags are no different. Follow the instruction manuals for those and you'll understand. The air 15 instruction manuals, military ones cover extensively why we don't want to cross contaminate petroleum, oil, and lubricant products. with our ammunition because those nice penetrating oils they'll penetrate right through that canelure and through the primer and you'll have something that doesn't go ticky and will not wash anything. Okay, won't click click, boom boom. So, again, these mags apparently it says right here that they are Gunsmith specials, but in this case they said they were Warped Gear Bent. I think more likely a little oxidation issue as was pointed out. That's what you want to test for first to see what's going on. Anyway, for $34.95 that's the report on those and there's the solution. But it's also something you need to watch out with all of your mags, especially your steel AK mags. They because again they wear out they wear once they wear out But they wear guys and most everybody doesn't think about Magazine maintenance and by the way this can happen with your 45 mags your Walther p38 mags your astromags Any magazine that has steel components and pretty much all them out there have some kind of metal involved In fact if nothing else remember at the very least those followers Springs They get damp and they start to oxidize. I guarantee the newer ones won't last as long as the older stuff did. I'm telling you that right now. So you better make sure that you're doing maintenance on your magazine springs and any metallic parts to ensure that they are given proper maintenance and care. That's why we've talked about this before using the 50-50 process for magazines in use. Half your mags are loaded up combat ready. You should have a full combat complement, at least in magazines. And what you want to do is keep half of them loaded and have the other on standby and every month switch them all out. It's real simple, easy to do. Now, another thing, again the other magazine sets apparently were good or the batches, large quantities of mags that were ordered, the HK91 mags, they all come from the same place. The G3 mags, they come, all the steel or aluminum, all come from one source and one source only. OK. Now, another thing that is available through, oh, let's see, oh, that can't be right. Oh, interesting. There's something broken stocks. Anyway, Gunsmith Specials for the Chinese Type 56 SKS rifles. Now I got an email that they have broken stock SKS's at Royal Tiger Import for $199.95. They have crack stocks for $219.95. Now that sale may or may not have got off but I got it as an email here this last week. So over the last few days. So I would think that if you call them and find out they may have the broken stock SKS is for $200 a piece. That broken stock isn't going to make any difference with regard to the operation of the rifle. So here's the thing, you take that weapon out of the broken stock, don't throw the stock away, don't throw the upper hand guard away, go buy yourself for about $24 to $30, one of the Monte Carlo cheek rest or whatever type of less expensive nylon stock you can buy, you've got a brand new stock on it, I wouldn't change it, I leave it at 10 round magazine capacity, Leave it complete as is. and whether or not you want to dress it up anymore with a dust cover scope system or whatever that's up to you. But if you buy the $220 stock and it's cracked and it's cracked significantly, you're going to have to replace it anyway. So I say, number one, go right off the bat to the broken stock models and save a chunk of change. Buy the new stock for only about $25, you're right back up to where you were with the price for the cracked stock. but you've got a complete rifle with a brand new stock and you've got spare parts. Okay, just common sense. And again, they do have ammo. They've got Romanian 7.62x39.23 grain FMJ. One can for $164.95. That's not, you know, exotic, I mean as far as, you know, super priced, but it's no worse than anybody else right now as far as I can see. And it's the only ammunition that I believe that they have in stock. So, you might want to check that out to see again whether or not that fits your niche, your requirements. Again, those escasses are at RoyalTigerImport.com, RoyalTigerImport.com. They're $200, you know, $199.95, for the broken stock model. And tell them that you got an email on that. If they wonder, well, how did you hear about that? You tell them you got an email. And that'll be good enough. By the way, you can get on their email list if you want to anyway. by going to Royal Tiger Import and just filling out the little blip and you'll get the email heads up also just like everybody else. So that's another way to be able to snag these things when they do come in. Now they have had them before and then they've sold out. And they've had them before and they've sold out. So if you want to get on the notification for those, I would recommend it. and I see the see guns the special broken stock minus twenty dollars okay so yeah they're showing you right there they do have it for the broken stock model minus twenty dollars so it's a hundred ninety nine right there where the Chinese specials a gunsmith specials Chinese type 56 SKS rifles cool so they are available and it's listed there if you go to the SKS's at RoyalTigerimports.com Now another thing that they do have is kits and components guys. So you may want to check that out. They do have parts, pieces and assemblies in the pepeishes and other equipment. So if you're looking for a particular system, piece of equipment, you might want to shop and go through. You do have to search with these guys. I guess it's becoming a little more user friendly page. But it's up and down as far as again what you're going to find from page to page. Some things are redundant, some things are only listed in one area, but they don't seem to be in the right place. Not a surprise, it happens. One of the things they do have is a more extensive Pepiche 43, BPS 43 kit. While it doesn't have the barrel, it does come with four magazines for $100. And you figure what the price of the mags are. The average price for the kit is a little better and there are more parts of the upper receiver that are intact. Hint, hint, hint. If you're looking for more of the specs that you need for the complete upper, then that PEPI S43 has more useful parts and they saw cut these. So it's a very clean cut, not a torch cut. Not all of them are saw cut. The Peppiest 43 kits that they have at Royal Tiger Import were saw cut so that front sleeve with all of the shroud is intact to include the sling hanger. and the rear folding stock fixture and rear sight is all intact in one piece. Now if you go look at kits from CenterFireSystems.com CenterFireSystems.com and then look at the same kit from ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com If you go to three different sites you'll find that there's three different ways that this particular kit was cut and if you're patient between three kits you really will understand better how things work if you get my drift. Anyway, just an idea there. So creativity for the future. Barrels, by the way, brand new barrels are available through a number of different companies. Spare Raw Barrels are available through and 45 in 9mm and in other calibers from e-circoinc.com. You might want to search to see what's on their front page and their barrel page right now because there's a lot of cool stuff there. Remember, it doesn't have to be in the 7.62x25. It could be done in 9 millimeter or 9 millimeter Steyr or in perhaps 3.57 SIG. Hey, nobody talks about that caliber at all, but that would be an interesting one, wouldn't it? And there's still some 3.57 SIG out there just for heads up for everybody. So it doesn't have to be done in 7.62x25, does it? not really anyway uh... couple of things here we are head towards the bottom of the hour i don't know if we'll have a bottom of the hour break we could all that would be possible but for everybody out there listening another reminder and i did bring us up in the chat room i will go back to center fire systems dot com uh... they had glock you know somebody brought this up to me yesterday. I'm going to give them a call to find out if they're looking at back orders. $369.99 for the third generation 40S&W model 22s, $300 in what they had for the Gen 2s and the 40Cal. And I think I'd go that way. I don't care which generation it is. If it's less money, I'm going that way. $100 less, yeah. Or $70 less. That's a lot of ammo and that's a lot of mags nowadays, guys. Anyway, it's not the only thing that's out there. Obviously, I know that. The price of pistols is going stupid. They have three 9mm pistols, they are all Browning high power knockoffs. They do have mags at least for one. And if the others take a Browning high power mag and I still didn't get a confirm on this, on the Arcus. If the Arcus takes standard high power mags, which back in the day was the norm, then we are looking at a pretty good price, actually a better price than anywhere else for staggered magazine, large capacity, high power slash all metal frame pistols that are more than serviceable enough as personal hand cannons. I'm going to get a follow up on that tomorrow. I may have to call through another backdoor number I normally try not to use, but I really want to get this question done and out of the way. I'm not going to go through three or four days for it to happen. The Arcus pistols are as low as about $175, so in other words less than $200 guys for a decent handgun. And even if they're only two mags, that's actually a pretty good price. The Arcus has been around for quite some time. It was going to be the Kaczmiel pistol, kind of like about 10 Glock came out, the Arcus was coming into Vogue. As the Glocks first showed up in the US, Glocks obviously were the wave, that's where everybody went. But the foreign staggered mag double action pistols of the day, more than serviceable enough, they're not outdated and they are just as deadly as any other 9mm out there. which of course immediately somebody would say, Mark, 9mm is not a great height. It's a pistol. Okay. Try to find something affordable for you so you can actually buy some and get everybody outfitted. Right now it's $4, $5, and $600 a piece. That's not happening. Or at least let's put it this way. You're spending a whole lot of money that we shouldn't. They should be a lot cheaper. Again, that's e-circlesinc.com. Go to their pistols section. Check out to see what they have listed there. They have the Daywoos. They have the Again, the Hungarian Browning high power knockoffs and then they have the Arcus. The Arcus is at the top of the page. It's a two-tone and definitely a serviceable pistol. I know a lot of guys who had them back in the 80s when they first came out when they were done in the prototype form. A lot of our guys experimented with them. Most everybody kept them. A lot of them have them as collection guns now because the weapon progressively has become more unique. again uh... that's a solution not just complaining about the problem though it uh... next uh... again follow-ups we got the response on royal tiger guys had a chance to see the mag pouch selection coming from the super sale deals of keep shooting dot com they have a french army grenade bandolier set it seven double pouches on a German web pistol belt. It's a web service pant belt is what it is. But it's used as a utility belt. Anyway, it's seven pouches and the belt for five dollars. It's a steel. The ones that I saw were brand new. They look beautiful. In fact, I tried to pick up a bunch of these shortly and we're going to incorporate them into the MOLLE gear for the web gear sets for the Woodland MOLLE gear. because these are an excellent pouch. I haven't had a chance to test to see they're doing it right now to see what fits in these grenade pouches. What can we work? How can they be used? But they are an excellent pouch. They're in beautiful condition. It's like a lot of this surplus stuff because they've wandered onto another camouflage, whatever the camouflage bogue is, for the day. So, 7 double mag pouches plus the belt, $5, go to KeepShooting.com, KeepShooting.com, KeepShooting.com. Then go to their Super Deals. And on the front page, right down in the middle, they have the best price for those pouches that I've seen anywhere in the country. 7 pouches, they're double pocket pouches. They're actually grenade pouches. Plus the belt. And the belt, when you get hold of these, you'll understand what I'm talking about. This thing stands by itself. I use these as auxiliary utility belts for mag pouches and for tools. And they work exceptionally well. Now, another thing that they, in theory, got back into stock. They keep running out, but they do keep replacing them. OK, they only have, well, maybe they tell us how many they have in stock. OK, they simply say that it is in stock. OK? AR-15 lower parts kits. Now guys, as long as they have these I'm going to keep pointing you back to them. Hopefully you're not going to get them before my friends here do because everybody is looking for the cheapest internal kit for those Polymer or for the aluminum AR-15 80% receivers. Well, AR-15 lower parts kits, total everything you need except for, you know, obviously you need the buttstock, etc. $37.95. that's the cheapest you're going to find these things anywhere in the country for the moment and at least have them in stock again that's the air fifteen lower parts kit uh... thirty seven ninety five the s k u is a r l p k their in stock they have them in stock right now they just be ran out of them last week you guys bought them out and they are the best right there not made in china parts it states right there not made in china Well these are American parts, don't know who made them, you have to talk to them if you want to find out. But again, go to KeepShooting.com. KeepShooting.com when you go to Super Sale Deals, which are like no other sale ever made. Well, whatever. Anyway, they're AR-15 lower parts kits, $37.95. It comes with a pistol grip, comes with all the pins, springs, the hammer, it comes with the trigger, the sear, everything's there, ready to roll. All you have to do is drill your holes, apply the parts, and you have a semi-automatic AR-15 lower receiver. Now you need a cheap buttstock, folding buttstock, and I I used to be there were some for $18 to $20. That's fine by me. Yes, they are plastic. Yes, I know they're plastic, but most of the stuff out there is plastic now anyway. And to put a rifle together quick because it's going to be one of those, again, AR-15 buzz guns, that's fine by me. Now I prefer a fixed stock. And if I can find a fixed stock that's cheap, I do have inventories of those. A set up shelf, buffer tube, buffer and spring are what's needed. Don't forget that when you buy the AR-15 lower park kit, All the pins and screws, etc. are there so the retainer for your buffer is in that kit. All you need is buffer, the buffer, the buffer spring and the buffer tube, and a solid stock if you're going to go that way. If you're going to go to folding stock, again, you need folding stock and your buffer and spring and pretty well set. Anyway, we might have a caller. Who do we have? I heard the ding, and it might just be somebody saying hi and listening. That's OK. Now, again, jump in there, Joe, what do you got? Mark, I want to say that you called it over a year and a half ago. Today, we have snow in the Carolinas and I want to give you props for predicting that. Alright, well, you guys deserve it. It helps our Google culture project, man. It teaches everybody a lesson, but you know what's funny is, it's not like you haven't gotten snow before, right? It's just that it's been a while. We still don't have plows here. They are using graders, industrial graders on the thoroughfares. Much slower graders, right? Much slower. Indeed, and multiple accidents because people are white knuckling it up the overpasses. Park the car. Like I said, you know what? well the funniest thing i'm sorry but i still have a laugh did you know they showed the pictures of people fighting over the food that you didn't fight over any food i hope right uh... we've been stocked up for years said well yeah but the fight was like this i'm gonna get the last box of ho-hos i can't last twenty four hours without ho-hos they were not delivered for two days how could i survive without frozen pizza look at outside Hey, I see some ding-dongs over there now. Oh, kill him! Shoot him! Use the pistol, hurry! Use the pistol, wing him! I want those! You see what I mean? But in reality, it's like, what was the fighting over junk food? It wasn't because, oh my god, this is the last can of bottled water in the whole state. Well, he will go without. What do you mean? There's no outside. No! Without the bottled water, what would I know? So instead, it was fighting over the goody foods. You know, that's that's how goofy people are. It's like, you know, and it was not like you know, they wish they showed the picture I had to point out what's the picture they're showing what aisle is that and then what does like there's a box of whole hoes in the corner, you know, so You could see the diaper aisle on the other end of that. Yeah, exactly, you know, and it's like my god I might not have a ho ho or a hostess food pie for for 24 to 48 hours. Oh, what about my sugar? Oh You know Instead, it would be like, hmm, this gets really serious, I'd be going over to the serious food aisle, but they were fighting in the stupid food aisle. It's kind of like, remember when they did that welfare thing where all the welfare cheats were going after what? The frozen food pizza aisle was barren. and this time it was the same way when you look at some of the other pictures they said and parts of the store were cleared out and looking at it, what is it? The reach in coolers which is where the Kentucky Fried Chicken Frozen is, the pizzas, oh and let's not forget the egg rolls. I'm sure the egg rolls sold out too. Heaven forbid I could not do without egg rolls for egg rolls. Well, I don't want to say this because I'm going to look like a wimp in front of you guys, but we've only gotten about 2 to 4 inches. There is an ice layer over that, but again, that's that 2 to 4 inches of high altitude snow. Yeah, well, the ice is the issue. I know how it is. In that respect, it's like I said, park the car, kids. If I was at work, because this is all happening in places like you said where the average resident doesn't have a clue about how to drive on snow. Okay? So let's see, do I want to take my car out and get it banged up and watch somebody else run into my car and then wonder why my insurance policy went through the roof next month? No, let's see, how about if I'm at work, unless the people at work hate me, I'm going to be here for a while, guys. Can I go lay down in the break room and I'll relax there and stay out of the way? Everybody will go, okay, cool. If you work at a house, sleep at work. Go ahead, Joe. I'm sorry. Go ahead. If you can work at a house, if you do, then you'll just sleep at work. You know I was going to say you guys, you know, some real industrious teenager boy, if he can find himself a used pickup in an old plow somewhere with a hydraulic set up on that plow, he can make a killing. Just clearing drives and going into grocery stores. I mean, you know, I bet you the people out there are so hard up to get cleared, they probably pay a fortune to get their stuff cleared. An industrious young American could be making money hand over fist even as we speak. It's what we call the free market American economy. Yeah, if I were, in fact, if you were, even if they were a little ways away, only a state no farther north, if I had myself a custom 20 Chevy pickup truck and I had a little plow hooked up to it, I'd be tooling my way towards the Carolinas right now. I'd be there in one day and I'd take my buddy Fred with me and be like, Cash, we'll scrape the lot here for $180 and you pay for the gas. Really? You got a plow? Yeah, yeah. And we're all ready to go too. And we can keep going all night. Don't worry, there's two of us. I know, I charged $2.50. Exactly. Well, you know what it means, you test the market. Man, that was too easy. Yeah, and we could have gotten more. Okay, well we go to the other grocery store, we'll charge more. And what you do is you tag team them. The one guy's driving the truck, and the other guy's walking over to the next parking lot and talking to the people on that one. That's how you do. We'll be down over there in a few minutes. It'll take about 15 seconds. It's very difficult though. We had to grow this plow in the backyard. We hand made it. We're from your state. That's right. We need to know how to grow our own financial profit. Hey Joe, this is Matt down here in Texas. I just wanted to know if snow is detrimental to mushroom propagation. Not at all. Just don't do anything while the snow is on the ground. Just hold all activities. If you do have wood for musket propagation, go ahead and drill that a quarter inch into the wood with a quarter inch bit and keep that out of the frost range until your frost damage or risk is over. And then you can put that out in full shade environments once again. Roger. There we go. Well, that's another thing real quick. We've been talking about, one of our friends here is talking about doing mushroom during the logs, propagating mushrooms. And one of the things that we discussed, because they're making these, and I haven't really a chance to talk about this, I'm looking at designing a, in fact immediately since they were here, what you were saying, is digging a core log, putting it on a tricycle wheel dolly system, and then running your other, bolting your other logs, your other support. to that, cross beams. But obviously, well logged. Do it like a Lincoln Log System. But the idea behind this is in the space we have to control it, go vertical, and actually set them up so they sit inside each other. Think about a triangular wheel system, and the logs lined up with a triangular wheel system, kind of like the old and the opposite corner, bring the other one over to the center of the room, harvest everything off it that you want to, inspect it for maintenance, do whatever you need to do, wheel it over and inside the other units so that they seat inside each other. Now it's hard to really make that work, you can explain over the radio, but I'm going to do a little map out for that because we're going to actually experiment with doing this. One of our guys is, he already does maple syrup, he already does other garden production in specialized areas. His wife is from Russia. and they do herbs and stuff. So the next thing is doing mushrooms. The idea is just picking the breed that he wants to experiment with. And we're probably going to do a cross section here because we are a little farther north. It gets colder, not that it's a problem. But we also have the ability to go underground because of the farm that they have. So that would be another thing that would make it seasonal year round and easily taken care of. But the idea is to actually go up. We'll not just have them laying, but actually go up with them and still provide the environment. Mark, I think that's such a wonderful idea. I know that Matt's on air now, or was at least, and that also helps us to defeat the pests of the swine that the enemy thinks is in our area, so that's ecologically sensitive. We will not be feeding the pigs, but why will the pigs? That's right. They're after truffles and they're after our mushrooms, those buggers. Oh, Mon-Dia. You mean you do not grow the truffle in your backyard? No, not yet, but I'm working on it. And by the way, later on I'll have truffles and I'll have pork. If there are wild pigs, wouldn't I want them to come this way? and we will be looking at what they would call Fat City. Gentlemen, I do have to jump off now and God bless you all and keep on looking for your mushrooms, make sure they're edible before you put them in your mouth. So you weren't crazy when you bought a snow shovel there in the Carolinas, were you? No, I wasn't. Two years ago they... You know what? I'd walk out in the front yard and go, see! See! I told you so! They've been looking at me with cross eyes all this morning and last night. Very good. Thank you so much and God bless. Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate that. Again, guys, for everybody out there, we won't pay attention. Joe, the guys have been talking about this and other guys are working on it. Diversified food production is especially critical of what's coming. What's really neat is we don't have to starve. There's no reason for it. One of the things that I've been working on pushing recently here, I actually sat down and mapped it out. We're going to do another little portfolio handout in the area here for the McMansion crowd and we're going to be talking about, hey, perhaps it'd be smart to, if you're going to put new landscaping trees on your property, why not do cherry trees and pear trees and apple trees? Now most of them won't have sense enough to actually collect what they plant. But the more of that they do, the better off we'll be in general. It's like our Juneberries. We have mature Juneberry plants, but if I had to have put them in the ground, I would have had to have spent a half a million dollars on them. But because it was pushed as an ornamental plant here, about 15 years ago in the area that was in vogue for the time being. I talked to a guy by accident who was a landscaper and he said, �Oh yeah, I used to sell these to everybody.� He actually sold the plants because of the ornamental potential and the way they�re good windbreaks and whatever. Now we have Juneberry plants here in the area. Actually, they�re almost trees, bushes slash trees that are just to die for, guys. I thought we�ve got $1 billion. Oh yeah, if you had to put these in as patches, you would have to remember cultivation, watering and everything. This has been half a million dollars worth of BS to put an orchard of this type in because we're talking acres. I'm not talking a few plants. We've got so many of them here with what I just discovered in another location. We couldn't even pick one tree. We couldn't even put a dent. I told everybody I could and I knew it was a waste of time. Most people are so stinking lazy they won't get involved with dead arson and do anything. We had bushels, hundreds and hundreds of bushels that just went to waste that I picked as much as I could. In fact, we're going to use a four pound bag of them here. If not tonight, I'm going to be cooking tomorrow. We're going to make either Juneberry pie or we're going to make Juneberry muffins. And the reason is that we just had so much. We filled the freezers. We Nancy jarred hundreds of jars of jelly. Some of you listening got some of that. And I mean, the other term for Juneberries are Huckleberries. Remember Huckleberry home? Well, Huckleberries. And again, it would be a million dollars. I mean, you've got to figure it out. It's 15 years. What does it cost to maintain a blueberry patch or a blueberry orchard, so to speak? or a cherry orchard or whatever. What's interesting is the other site that we found, it's literally watered off of a hydraulic system. These plants were producing berries so large, I thought they were cranberries from a distance. Or not cranberries, forgive me, crab apples. That's why I went by them several times and then we stopped and looked closer and was like, wait a minute. The thing is, it got so big that it was easy by scale to figure out what the coloration was and I went over and checked them out. It's like, you mean to say I've been passing these by? So next year, we won't. And this next year, be quite honest, probably like what we did or what we locally have been doing with maple syrup, we're probably going to be making berry berry berries the same way and making production Juneberry jelly, guys, slash huckleberry jelly. What about deer? Are there deer going by there? There's birds! Flocks of birds couldn't even put a dent in these things. We had geese. that are nearby. They'll pick everything off the ground. It was just massive. Also, this was an excellent year for berry production just like anything. It was apples, apricots, peaches, pears, all of those. We've had such a production that even with what we have hanging, the deer haven't put a dent in what's left laying on the trees. It's hard to explain. There's a Macintosh tree down the road that sadly enough what happened is the branches broke down. Now, the deer can get to it and they've mumbled a little bit, but there's so much of this in the wild orchards and the back orchards across our state here. They hardly touched it. And we're talking fresh fruit the size of my hand that there's probably at least six bushels or seven bushels still hanging on the branches, you know, hanging on by dear life because it's later in the season. But they're still hanging on the tree and the branches are down where the animals can get to it. Normally if they were starving and we had a really bad year, anything for as far as the animal could reach on their back legs would already be eaten off. But we've had we were just so gludded this is why the kill this year for the deer was so was so you know It was high wasn't the record, but it wasn't it wasn't a good sustainable population hit and most people didn't report the deer they took We are not seeing, in fact, the two things we are seeing. Number one, we are still seeing fat deer. This is February of 2014. We are two or three months into the real good winter. Fall started up with some snow. We are still seeing fat deer. The other thing is whenever we know we are going to get a bad winter, the deer tend to be darker. One of the things that was very obvious, we had a conversation and one of the guys we were talking about this when we were driving around yesterday, is that the deer, you can see at the beginning of the season they'll start to have a richer, darker fur when we're going to get a deep winter. But we got a fantastic growing season, so the corn, the wheat, like I said guys, they don't even have to worry about going. They pick and choose. Deer are grazers and we still have corn fields with corn in them. They are not even picking hard at the corn because there is so much. I am looking at the snow. I watch the snow for tracks. It is easy to track things in the snow. They are just not hitting the whole of the corn field. Normally if it was hard, they would be grazed through the whole field and it would be picked clean by now. They also make for cows on the hoof when they're takin' it. because they're eating the best of what the farmers produce, they're eating all these sugars, they're not gamey. That's the other thing is I could you know you could kill a deer here right now most eating a higher-end cow because they're not real super fat but they've got enough fat so they've got a good balance of the meat right now they've got a good marbleization going right now. Case in point and this isn't talked about at all it would make us all get this disaster season with everything going on. California's hit with regard to their high country moisture But this is like back in the middle 90s. In fact, I was looking at an aerial shot and I was thinking they were showing me the one from back in, what was it, 1994, 1995? Because the same image I was looking at, but it turned out it was a modern one from this last couple of days. And saying last year they were showing the snowfall, this year they're showing where it is today. Well, it's like back in the 90s, they had the same problems. It's not good. Also, the eco-freaks are creating a lot of the problem because they're not releasing the water that they could. That's not an accident. What they're doing is they're intentionally killing the farmers in California so the Chinese can come and take the land for a song and a dance. That's what they'll do. Then all of a sudden the eco-freaks will get slammed. They'll have their heads beat up against a concrete wall because they'll take care of their communist buddies. The communist buddies will tell them, you either open the water or we'll kill you. Then all of a sudden those farms will be just fine. Mark my word because that's the international scam going on right now guys so that the foreigners can come in and steal the land off from underneath the American farmers that are here. We saw this a few years ago in California already. So anyway, we've got some pretty good healthy conditions here. I'm doing more reconnaissance because I think I also suspect that we have found a blueberry farm that I thought was still running. And it turns out we can probably have everything off every bush that's there because the new owner doesn't want to play with blueberries and is just going to let them go to pot. So they're going to go wild. Well, next year and the year after that, provided we keep on it, we will see deer there. We've always seen deer in those patches. But that doesn't mean we can't beat them to the food! So again guys, propagate, propagate, propagate. Plant more. Grow more. Be prepared for the season coming up. Let's work hard to make sure we can not only feed ourselves, but we have surplus for the future. And if need be, to feed other people that are friendlies. Oh, the ones that are stupid and crazy. Anyway, God bless the republic. After a new world order, we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in a march. The Liberty Bible Hour should be coming up next. It's Thursday, so we've got BC right there taking command of Liberty Tree Radio, and then we'll be back at 8 o'clock. Down to myself for the evening, and tell the report. Bye-bye.
