Live 365. 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 will 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'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is? Distill the land of the free and a good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report timer currently one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, we're on AFM Micro stations, CBB stations, and Ultra Net Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third and fifth pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving to the left coast where we have a great state of Jefferson, independent, freestanding, along with the other Soviet socialist democracy occupied districts. for boots on the ground with the D-Bing up of America. When the time comes, the communists are in motion with this already. They're going to be pushing it hard in your face and it's obvious they're already in motion on this with the Pacific Trade Agreement. That's going to be the next part of NAFTA and GAP that screws the country. Sticks the last couple of torpedoes on the side of the ship and she rolls. Okay, that's the agenda. That's what the filth and washing can erupt to. That's what the traders are all about. So, Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, London and the Smokies, slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the mob bill, grandma consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work, a million Petticoat Junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. It is a beautiful, gray winter day out there. Sun is setting. She's heading over the horizon, but still bright and light outside. Even if it's the sun staying up longer, obviously. Planet rotation is changing as far as where we are in proportion to the sun. Congratulations, we've got more daylight. We also have snow on the ground in force, so the cool thing is we get more light, we've got more reflection. So actually available operating light is still quite handy for camera work. So a lot of the filming that needs to be done with snow operations. We're dressing up the rest of the imagery that needs to be in the can and I'm going to be finishing up one of the winter militia training videos here very shortly. Looking pretty cool so far. I want to say thanks to our guys for showing up with the Jeeps and especially with some of the new camouflage stuff that's actually old CJ7s. A lot of those laying around for cheap. We're looking at one right now that might be able to get for free. It's been sitting for a bit and nothing really bad. It's just not pretty. When we're done it's going to be camouflaged anyway, so who cares. We're going to, you know, tint it back up, rivet it together where it needs to be riveted. Hell, with any of this welding, I mean you can weld it, but rivets work just fine. It's an old army trick. They were using it with the Dodge M880s years ago. And we'll put her back on the road and we drive it wherever we need to with a nice little quarter ton trailer behind it. Anyway, it's been a very busy, busy weekend and we'll say thank you to our friends from Connecticut. We had representatives from the Connecticut militia units here in Michigan speaking at a couple of different locations. Our people confirmed where they were. Of course, they're passing on the information right now. that was brought in in terms of mapping information on force strength, etc. on the ground, some of the suspected operational activities that are going on within the Connecticut State Police in their preparation for gun confiscation, etc. The attitude is that the people from Connecticut are going to need help, Vermont is going to have to be there to pitch in, etc. It could escalate accordingly. and the rest will be history so not just vermont there are other parts of the country progress new york hates with uh... the shasters new york city of don you know along the filth that's you know in connecticut and massachusetts etc along with maryland so there's a long list of uh... creatures all bleed off from new york city everybody knows that that's pretty well you know acknowledged by everyone Okay, now, it is the, no way, it's already the 4th of March, it is the 6th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a Gay 2014 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town, Crazy Town Calendar as we of course come to expect. I haven't heard much about the Christian Mayans anymore here. Those Christians claimed they were Christians, but were worshipping the Mayan calendar. Now they're back just to the end of the world thing. You get to pick who the latest version of the Antichrist is. You just take all the stuff they rehashed 20 years ago, put the same video to it. Usually it's Hollywood doing this. Wait a minute. Those are our enemy. But everybody buys into it anyway. They just regurgitate with the latest face from the other side. So you're supposed to feel its futile resist. You'll be absorbed because the character just is going to last forever. Well, what happened to those wrinkled prunes that were the Antichrist back in the 80s? They're dead now. Yes, they weren't the Antichrist after all. Oh well. And dead, dead, dead. So hell with them. No time waits for no one. Anyway, real quick, Communications Tuesday. I will remind everybody again, dealxtreme.com. electronics technology available they have a number of FM transmitters available through consumer electronics go to the consumer electronics section then go to other consumer electronics lo and behold there's every size micro FM you can imagine and prices to fit your wallet accordingly so you may want to experiment there Again, www.dealxtreme.com or dx.com, I guess dx is the abbreviation in there that's a connected website and that's where you go to anyway. So, check that out but if you're also looking for other tidbits and trinkets to round out your equipment, a lot of stuff there but you'll notice a lot of stuff out of stock. Okay, sold out. You'll see a sold out tag on it. And more and more I've noticed that for all of the, again, ChinaSport cheap, China Sport doesn't seem to be replacing it or offering it. In other words, they were making it, but now they're not. Hey, what's that all about? More on that later. Anyway, another thing here, AriesArmor.com. Aries Armor grand opening right now, they're open. The big store is open. They've had some problems with, of course, the locals because of their business sign. But they've got a couple of real cool things in the closeouts and you know I love the closeout section. Number one. Aries, upper air 15 cosmetic blims. These are A3s, guys. If you're looking to build from scratch and you've got barrels and other goodies laying around, which by the way I've just noticed in a couple places have got some, unfortunately, don't have A20s, they just got 16s, they don't like 16s. But if you've got to build some, build one up on a 16, sometimes you can get a 20, build another one. See how that works? Or, D barrel and D barrel with a, you know, 20 inch barrel. I go bigger and longer whenever possible. The 16 or, you know, again, chipmunk guns and again, I don't want to be equal to my enemy. I want to have greater range in penetration and superior, you know, in all categories when it comes to accuracy, okay? Anyway, upper-air 15 cosmetic blems, they've got 1,312 of them in stock and it's $54.89. Now you could say it's $55, but at least it's not 99 cents. I'll throw in the 11 cents and say 55. OK, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. There we go. Dime and another penny, and yeah, they were happy. So $55, $54.89. They have 1,312 of these in stock. These are blims that are finished, by the way. These are ready to roll, to plug together. Basically, it's to break out your fingernail polish in whatever dark purple-y or dark black-ish color you got. And if there's a blem, that's what you touch it up with. That's what the armors used to do. My AR, my Hydromatic AR, had some scratches. And they had this funky, purple-y blue fingernail polish that they used for filling the blem so that the wooden oxidize. And the stuff would work just fine. It looked like it was going to act up a little bit. They just covered up again, but they typically didn't have to do that. So just something to think about there. And again, that is AriesArmor.com. Then go to closeouts. 54.89 for the aluminum uppers. It'd be nice if they made plastic, but they don't. Not yet. Not again. They did back in the 90s. These are uppers. They're blems. And they're 54.89 apiece for the A3s. Now they also have The aluminum, cosmetic, forged, 70-75 Blum AR-15, 80% lowers. These are not finished. They're in the white. But they're $55 a piece. So for $110, you end up with an upper and lower aluminum receiver. The 80% lower in the aluminum, you've got to get a jig for that. Congratulations. If you don't want to go to the plastic slash the polymer, then here's an aluminum one for $55 for $5 more. And again, that's 204 of those in stock, 1,312 of the uppers in stock. So whoever gets there first, well, you're going to have to go, if they run out of aluminum ones, I just go to the Polymer or go to the other cosmetic blend for $70. It's a cosmetic billet. That's, of course, as opposed to the first one, which is forged. The forged ones are $55. The one-piece billet machine type are $72 apiece for the cosmetic blend. Personal choice thingy there guys, it's all up to you. Whichever way you want to go, pick a direction, run with that puppy. I don't have a problem with it either way. Whatever you think you're going to do with LUMinium receivers, great idea. I'm not going to complain, nor am I going to argue. If you want to go Polymer, go Polymer. If you want to go aluminum, go aluminum. The idea is, do something. You're a pilot. That famous line from Spaced Invaders, for those of you who are not familiar. Anyway. uh... here's the other thing that they do have yes they are still showing i believe the air can and i got a double check that again they had air can lower eighty percent lowers in stock they are still showing yes they have the eighty percent air can dpm s uh... three oh eight in the wrong they do not have uh... the uh... 80% anodized. So these are in the white, not a big deal there, that doesn't bother me. But if you're looking to build a .308 slash an AR-10, they have the AR-10 80% lowers for $99 apiece. And they have the DPMS AR-10 lower parts kit for $95 apiece. So you're looking at a paper clean. Well, of course, also they've got the lower jig, the jig for everything. $150 and they have, hold on, I may not have those in stock. We better double check that. I don't see a number. Let's see. Well, it looks like they have them in stock. It doesn't say that they're out of them, so there you go. So everything you need to do, the .308 is in stock right now in terms of the lower internal, the jig, the internals, the jig, and the 80% finished aluminum AR-10 lower receivers. If you want to build a 308. I wanted to bring up something about that again, reason. I just looked at an M14 M1A kit with all the critical parts missing, the bolt, the barrel. and still $680 which is not bad for the parts that were available, the trigger group and everything else but considering what they're charging, $600 and some dollars to get me a fully functional rifle in .308. In fact, for $550, $540, I can pick up one of those Yugo 77s and 308 AK action. And I'm going to tell you, out of the box, it's a baby dragon off of a 19.5 inch barrel. So I'd go that way. I'd go with the Yugo over buying a kit right now. Unless you have the M1A in service, if you do, you might be interested in spare parts because they did have op rods, mainsprings. All kinds of fun stuff. Well, interestingly enough, and this is dated for the third, today is the fourth. I want to bring this up. I was going to do this before Don, but I want to make sure we've got the night vision questions asked. And I want to say, appreciate the calls, or in this case, the letters with the questions. We can bring them up on the air. If you have any questions about night vision technology I ask, please again, call in during the program and bring the information up. The question you're asking, other people are probably asking, too. So it's not a problem. Don't ever worry about that. Hundreds arrested, largest active youth, civil disobedience in a generation unfolds at the White House. Now this was yesterday. It's a video. It's hundreds arrested, largest act of youth, civil disobedience in a long, long, long, long time, whatever. Well, actually they shall be wearing Obama masks because they'll all be wearing George Bush masks if they showed it before being a little raving red communist that they are. So, apparently the communists aren't happy with the chief communists and so they're all out there whatever they're doing. What's fascinating is, of course, the whole thing is they're protesting the pipeline. That's a nice safe thing to protest. Well, what about the police state? It might kill me for that. But the pipeline, this is a rah-rah college thing. So, blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, Trixie, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, Trixie. And it's safe. So again, I can always change direction or disappear or fade off and it's all done and tell everybody I protested and got arrested at the White House. They weren't around for when the veterans were being peed on and didn't make a major effort to show up then because they hate the veterans and those old people anyway. And of course they made sure it was nice politically correct cross-section with all the images they did which tells you right off the bat again, shysterism. So, it is interesting, hundreds arrested, largest active youth, just civil disobedience in a generation unfolds. And that's on YouTube, the piece is two minutes and one second long. And apparently they storm the gates of the Czar's palace. Well, wait a minute, he's not a Czar, he's a Commissar. He's a good card holding Communist Party member. What's wrong, comrades? Well, the other people who don't want the other communists who don't want the pipeline in the colleges, of course, for the sake of stirring up the pot, are very worried. And so they made sure that they told the other communists, no, it's just communists against communists, telling the communists what to do and what not to do. And now evil they are. But not really super evil, just they're kind of like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But they chained themselves and handcuffed themselves to the fence and whatever and apparently were dragged off and there were more piling up yesterday when they were writing the story. What's going on? They were actually talking about this story. What really would have been kind of funny is, you know, remember you're dealing with a secret police state. Everybody thinks you're going to come out with bolt cutters and cut you off. What if they had come out with chainsaws? Well that chainsaw won't work on the chain. Who said I was going to use it on the chain? Hold your arms out! Oh, oh, oh! And everybody else is fumbling for the keys they didn't bring for the handcuffs, they were the handcuffs themselves to the government building. And there's expressions of fear and terror as they realize the government agents have many chainsaws and lots of gasoline. Oh, properly mixed of course. and ecologically sound and very green and by the way well there'll be many people well armless tonight the panic set in when they realized none of them had brought the keys. Aw man! So anyway interesting there for everybody out there listening and again that's hundreds arrested largest active youth civil disobedience in a generation unfolds at the White House. Stop you savage, girl I'll shout stop again. Then they handcuff themselves to the walls. The Emperor has no clothes. Well, no, the Emperor has the same clothes he was wearing last week, sir. I don't think he's changing them. He doesn't have to. His little dangie parts are in the wind. Everybody knows what he's all about now, but it's 2014. What happened to all that head? What happened all that heady excitement back in 08? Oh, it was going to be changed! Yeah, I guess not after all. Now, another thing before I forget, and I want to make sure that we get this out there too, there's a number of different things. Coleman's.com, and we've talked about radios, but Coleman's, and I want to remind everybody, has generators. And in fact, they have military generators. In fact, If you're willing to make a deal, if you want to go get a whole pile of generators for a really great price, they've got a 2.1 slash 1.5 kilowatt generator gas powered lot of 100 of them at a time. Powered by a durable, dependable 16 cubic inch twin cylinder air cooled, over hit valve military standard gasoline engine and built to meet stringent US specifications, it's 100 of these for $10,000. So, hmm, interesting. Well, the same basic generator by themselves, they're selling for $395 a piece. But if you buy a big pile of them, that means they're going for, what, $100 a piece? Well, that's not bad. so anyway i talk to the girls they do have a whole bunch of the sitting there and they are an excellent generator actually one of our friends uses one of these for all of the construction work he's doing in a rustic site right now starts up was about first half-pole guys are you from when she's running and uh... work flawlessly also quite quiet for a u.s. military generator uh... The US made ones typically are a lot noisier than the Hondas and such that have been out there for quite some time. Everybody learned that back during Desert Dust 1. However, the advantage of these, there are a lot of different parts and available components to keep the things running so you can actually put an inventory together. Or if you buy enough and they're cheap enough, you can have two generators on standby for every one running. and in fact run them alternately so you're not running any one system constantly for hours and hours and days and days and whatever if that's the agenda if you're doing medical support or whatever. The other thing I wanted to point out and this is for our project people there is a 32 cubic inch displacement engine, it's a four cylinder, it's unused. Now they actually have these things on sale on occasion, I don't know if they're on sale, they are right now. They are $395 a piece and these are brand new in the box. Now I'm going to read this for you and there is a reason number one. You may want to build another gen pack but also if you are building a small tactical vehicle. This engine has got enough horsepower to move something around and actually quite comfortably. So there are a number of different neat things or ways this thing can be applied. It's again, this is an unused military standard 32 cubic inch horizontal opposed air cooled gasoline engine. This is a military standard engine used on a number of pieces of equipment such as generators, pumps, welders, etc. The military doesn't rate horsepower on engines the same way civilian engines are rated but our dyno experience has shown it to be in the 15 to 20 horsepower range. uses a standard civilian spin-on oil filter. Ignition is magnetotype, which allows engine to run without battery power. Fuel pump allows use of an external tank. Unit has oil pump and an exhaust manifold on each side to which a muffler or mufflers can be easily attached. It has a horizontal crankshaft with a drilled and tapped flywheel for output connection. shown in second photo. This motor has a pull start. This is a beautiful, tough, smooth little four cylinder that's perfect for lots of projects. By the way, the US military paid $2,400 each for these engines. Dimension is 20 inches long, 19 inches wide, 14 inches high. Weight 155 pounds. cannot go UPS, call for shipping rates, or better still, my recommendation, go pick it up. Seriously, if you're going to have something like that, and if you're thinking about buying it, I would buy more than one anyway. If you're able to access these, and they do have a number of them in inventory. Anyway, the item number is 244701. Now this would apply for, again, as is pointed out, larger generator projects. There are a number of different little all-terrain vehicle options where this could be applied. It's really kind of cool. There are a couple different people that have put these on wheeled vehicles for the fun of it. Just experiment. 888-478-7758 for ordering information and find out what's going on with it. Again, that's 244-701. It's a 32 cubic inch displacement engine. Four-cylinder unused. Brand new slash old surplus. Not real old, old surplus, but it's surplus. In other words, it did just come out of the factory yesterday. This was a government excess item. available through colmans dot com colmans dot com colmans dot com now there are a couple other engine companies out there one of them is down there towards misery and uh... we've been on the skin our canvas uh... you know arkansas and missouri in both cases uh... they have surplus engine something we've talked about before on a regular basis and it's interesting that as these are available uh... They usually have 40 of this, 30 of that, 20 of this, 25 of that, you name it. It's a mixed price as far as what they cost. But you can find a number of different companies that have engines with unlimited applications, purely matter of creativity. Coleman's doesn't do just generators. They also of course do engine packs, they do automotive parts, they do tools. So you may want to check them out and see what they do have available. They've got USGI engine exhaust mufflers, a number of different plugs, portable flood light systems, you name it. A lot of other electrical items there, but they do have also radio equipment. Now, the The big thing about a lot of the surplus radio equipment, and I've got to emphasize this when you're looking at it in terms of, well, what can I do with it, Mark, or how reliable is it, or how serviceable is it? Well, of course, the big thing is first finding out what are the offerings. ID the number, ID the system, number one. Understand that a lot of the stuff that's offered is virtually, in many cases, virtually brand new. never having actually been issued out. A lot of the equipment that I purchased in terms of radio signal communications, the units are offered from a particular hub. If you get a retailer that's got them, of course they may have been moved a few times or may have moved at least once or twice going from one company to the next. But there are a wide range of radio systems out there available that are reasonably priced Again, it varies depending upon how old they are as to whether or not parts are available. The cool thing is that older is typically heavy solid state. One good thing about heavy solid state is that there are lots of components out there available. So if there's something that needed to be replaced, it's not that difficult to replace, guys. Obviously, you're going to want to find somebody who's competent who knows how to deal with the problem. you know other words can do the work, but they're out there and Remember that older equipment like that is much more user-friendly small is cool to a degree But see you keep getting smaller, and it also becomes less. You know resilient with regard to abuse and That's something that needs to be taken into consideration whenever you're looking at especially weapon systems support or signal communication support optics guys Smaller is is cool for hidey-hole or for you know again tucking away someplace and you know aircraft for instance that kind of work lightweight But remember it's got to be able to take the bouncing abuse being in the field When the time comes being able to get on the ground and do what needs to be done. Okay, so just something to think about there more on that a little bit because Again, why don't we might have a source for ANPRC 10s? that's somebody I've dealt with for a long time I found out they may have accessed a number of units. I don't know what condition they're in yet. Last time I bought them from this company they virtually were new. Now some of you guys bought the check radios we accessed. We bought out one of the wholesalers, everything they had and when I went back for a second batch they were gone. Well somebody else bought the other three or four hundred radios in one lump carried him home, rest is history. Oh well, it's just how it happens. So anyway, understand we're going to be busy trying to track down other signal technology to support certain tactical needs. There's been a lot of requests for information and material on, for instance, as was discussed here, the PRC. 77's, PRC 25's, those are backpack radios from the Vietnam War era, along with the post Vietnam era. They were around for quite some time, still being used by many countries around the planet, despite what you might think. Built so well that, well, they just keep hanging on. And since there were so many parts made, they don't quite get retired right away, guys. Even after a war, they typically are still in service for quite some time, and they're still being made available for operations. in mass. Again, caches found here, caches there, storage overseas in Europe, storage overseas in Asia, places all over this country where stuff is tucked away in tonnage, which is something to take into consideration. Now, one of the other things that Coleman's does have is a clearance section, and I will point this out again. We're going to leave an environmental condition that to a degree people have gotten kind of comfortable with. What are you talking about, Mark? I hate the snow! I hate the snow! Oh my god, it's melting! Oh, it's melting a lot! Oh, flooding! Oh, wait a minute, what else happens? Oh, General Mud is going to show up again. We're going to go from General Snow and General Ice to General Mud. Now, I'm going to tell you, mud is bad for everything. Dirt like that is bad for everything. Why? Because water becomes a commutation tool. Let me give an example. Your radio equipment. The finer your equipment, the more susceptible it is to dirt. Does everybody understand that? The finer the piece of equipment, the more susceptible it is to dirt. especially when you have what we call the Dust of Ages environment. Now you see this overseas but this also happens everywhere. We have topsoil here. We have rich topsoil near it. It's a sand loam. Some places it is quicksand. When it gets wet, don't drive a tractor out there. You won't find it later if you leave it parked because there's about a good 20, 30 feet of loam topsoil. and the tractor's out there and it's kinda damp and wet, you'll find a print where you see it where it sank some. You know, there was a shadow it looks like. No, that's where it kind of oozed into the marshmallow goo and maybe part of it will still be exposed. If you're lucky then you can hook something to it and you might be able to get it back out. But there's a lot of places around here where trucks tractors, trailers, loaded with material because you don't farm equipment, etc. It's just kind of bloop the next day. Well, the problem is that's a really fine, fine material, guys. And as I said, water commutates. So one of the things to take into consideration in advance is thinking about how you're going to protect your radio controls. Let me give you a little hint. Mr. Ziploc baggy or at least the baggies are your friend. Even if you can't zip it sealed shut completely, remember you can seal it most of the way and then a rubber band around the umbilicus if it's a cord for a radio control for the top, you know, like a handset. But here's another little trick. Also if it's going to be in the field during general mud and during dust, dust storms, moisture in general is always a problem too. wrapping the upper part of the equipment and using rubber bands to seal and adhere to the radio will make all the difference in the world. One of the reasons I bring this up A lot of you people are talking about using micro fine equipment. It's tiny. It's so convenient. It's also small. There's two problems I have with that in the field. Almost always you want to try and use your gloves. Now you're going to end up having to take the glove off because if it's the finer the controls are, the less likely your little fingertips and gloves are going to work with that piece of equipment. Everybody understand that? Now granted, I guess if you're using a texting cell phone you can use a stylus which I know it's not many people really do but because the controls are just Just to the point where you have a one fingernail you can kind of make work, right? That kind of guard mark that kind of defeats it guys. Go ahead. What do we have? This is butter knife Jump in there, BK. However, the reason I called is that I was sniffing around my usual web haunts and visited BG Micro. You'll recall that that's the outfit that I brought up a few weeks ago saying that the CR123A batteries were available at a dirt cheap bargain price. Yes, go ahead. Okay, well, those batteries are still there. They were 99 cents apiece. 75 cents a piece if you bought 10 or more. Now their status has changed. They are now a buck 29. 99 cents a piece if you buy 10 or more. And the website is saying 215 of them are in stock. So it is below the threshold where it's now reporting the actual inventory level. So those guys are vanishing. Anybody who has thought, well, maybe I should get some of those, I'll get around to it. There isn't as much round to it left. You've got to move now or you're going to miss out on it. Or it will be gone. Or you'll be missed on the price. Yeah, 200 is nothing. Somebody can walk in easily and decide they want a couple dozen at a time and it will lead them up really quick. Yeah, that's a half dozen highly plausible buyers or one deep pocket guy and then poop, they're gone. And again, for a lot of you out there, you've got night vision equipment or you have other lasers, even a lot of the handheld radios. I just pulled, as a matter of fact, I've got them behind me, I just pulled out of a cell phone. Not cell phone, forgive me, mobile phones. They are coming in piles or in waves. I just pulled out a bunch of the battery packs from some that really didn't look very pretty and lo and behold guess what model batteries they were using. So guys they can be in anything. And there is every kind of battery you can imagine in all of these wireless phones that are used for intercom and for in-house use. So, always if it looks like somebody is tossing one away, if they are junk and really smashed up, still open them up and pull the batteries out. Right, well a 1, 2, 3's are a style of battery that has been around for a very long time and it has sort of been the way that engineers can design in a lithium primary battery into a given design. And the value of the lithium batteries is they have extremely long shelf life. So you will tend to find them used in devices that were expected to have a long service life, not necessarily a lot of power draw. Intermittent use like Intercoms is certainly one of those. You don't want to change a battery every year, but you're not, you know, hammering the, holding the button down for hours on end. So that makes sense. The more modern tactical flashlights, the IR illuminator, some of the night vision stuff, some of the radios, a lot of things use this. These things are not cheap if you buy them in a blister pack off of the countertop at Radio Shack or your camera store. This was a heck of an opportunity. The price has gone up. and the end of this particular pile is in sight. So, you know, move now or, you know, don't complain at all, BK, because I gave you a heads up. Anything else, sir, in terms of rechargeables on the site right now? Anything that jumps out there on sale? There might be, but I saw this and decided, ooh, ooh, I'd better call it in because this is bad. So there may be unexplored portions of the site that I haven't gotten to yet. Very good. And again, give the location again for everybody, pay attention and write this down. micro dot com and they are the c r one two three eight with the embeddery you'll see that uh... you know on the newsletters on the special on the main page it's all over the place uh... but they are down to a little over two hundred of so this is not going to last very long uh... obviously somebody uh... help the shop affect them down i'm sure that uh... i personally did not have enormous impact on their inventory But, I got some. I recommend that others do too before they vanish. Well that and everybody doing the same thing. If there is somebody there and progressively like we said it doesn't take long if everybody is chewing away at it. Well, there are a thousand things to spend money on so I can certainly understand people saying, I'd like to but. However, this one is a wasting asset. This one is going away. So prioritize these things based on when they go away. Now another thing here real quick, remember this company has a lot of other little items and trinkets if you're an electronic geek or if you're researching, doing the experimentation, prototyping. Remember, industrial sites like this, you may find what you need readily available there, guys, so you want to check it out. Look to see what they have. Peru's always the odd corners because they don't always have everything where it's supposed to be or it would seem like common sense would dictate it. So, assume the worst one will be disappointed. the meters they'll have on a particular day will be different from next month. That sort of thing. So this is worth checking every few weeks or whatever the case may be. It's not just things that are presently there. They can add to the inventory. Somebody has something else that they've snagged, they've brought in, and or again dragged in from a location either inside or outside the US. However they're doing it, the idea is to take advantage of it. One of the other things that I pointed out, the microphones and headsets, especially for our micro FM aficionados, individuals that are coming up and doing this. Spare any mic is better than no noise, especially if you're in a situation where again something happens and the primary is knocked out. Guys, it may not sound perfect, but at least you can get something out there. The other thing is mixing board technology and also cable and connectors. Every once in a while something gets gacked. Having a complete set of backups isn't a big deal when you buy them from shopping around the different jobber sites like this. So look to see what they have, see if it's useful. Don't forget also that we're looking at solutions for tactical radio, signal communications. You never know what you're going to find there in the way of odds and ends, surplus stuff. They wanted widget A, but to get widget A they had to take three pallets of B, C, D, K, and L. and whatever those widgets are, well they usually take them along because they paid for them and then usually they'll translate the price out accordingly. So always pay attention to the odd man out stuff that just happens to show up like that. Anything else, what's been jumping on with your weather? We're at medium temperature right now, by the way. We finally bumped up above freezing, so I got out there and scraped off some of the snow in hopes that we'll catch enough photons from the sun to actually melt some of this stuff and I can use the cars for a change. I've been stuck inside for a couple of days glazing on the driveway here. I suppose if it were a horrible emergency I could get out there and apply Armstrong and a lot of sanding to probably get one of the vehicles out, but only at the risk of taking out the mailbox and some stuff that is nearby. I'm not that motivated. So hopefully the uptick in the weather here will make things more mobile for me. I'm looking forward to continuous above freezing for a little while. That would be nice. Well, I understand what the Asian Weather Service said because I guarantee it can't be somebody that's inside the U.S. We're talking about by the end of this week to the beginning of next week, perhaps 50 degree weather again. Let me give everybody a little different from the five degrees we had a couple of days ago. Oh, I'll be happy with halfway in between. Actually, we're halfway between. We're right on the edge of freezing. It's just a little above. It's just enough to make things a little tacky, but it's not enough to make you go, ooh, if you're sitting outside. In fact, you want to make sure you got your coat and hat and gloves on, obviously. But still, it's comfortable. It's typical winter weather. The big thing is, like I said, don't hold your breath. They told us we were going to get the 50 degree weather. We ended up with about half of that. Wow, what a surprise. So, don't be disappointed. Oh man, they promised. Yeah, yeah, wish in one hand, defecate in the other and see which one gets full first with the weatherman. Let's just figure, go to the farmer's almanac. If you're really excited about finding out from day to day what's going to happen, go to the farmer's almanac. That's amazing how accurate they've been for the whole year so far. From the summer months when we got the lush green here, right straight through to the cold and the snow snaps, the whole nine yards. Everything's as expected so far with the farmer's almanac. It's only the modern national weather service that's gotten caught flat faced. So not a problem there. I just seem to be consistent in holding their norm for what we've seen. The other thing here real quick, of course you've been watching what's been going on with Connecticut like everybody else. There's been up and down on that. But we understand that over in your neck of the woods they've got a couple of pro firearms bills in motion. Have you seen anything in the local news about that? uh... i haven't but i don't pay a lot of attention to local news on average that is uh... just uh... pure problem and no content so uh... i would probably have to go hunting specifically for that data to find it Very good. We are down to one newspaper here, have been for quite a while. It seems that there's a certain note of desperation in their marketing efforts to try to get people to subscribe. I think they're not successful at that. Even the flaming Libby's, it's a left-wing newspaper, probably find it boring and contentless and they're not subscribing very much. local news thing is just negligible. Even the local television stations figure that 30 seconds is our attention span for a pending bill in the legislature, so we don't get any data at all to speak of. Well again, we've got a couple of things that are happening in both Missouri and in Arkansas right now, both pro and anti. Pro seems to be the case. There are some discussions about nullifying agenda 21 with Oklahoma here this last couple of days. Apparently the Senate has voted to nullify agenda 21 in the state of Oklahoma. Of course, there's still the House to deal with, but the vote was was quite uniform in that it was hammered the agenda twenty one was stomped uh... with regard to a pros and cons blind fastened by is who the hell would be voting for it The interesting part is for them to dispose of it, they have to intrinsically admit that it exists and that alone is progress. It's Oklahoma that's done this in the past. Remember, they are the ones, which is why we argued that why would the Patriot movement attack Oklahoma in any way, shape, or form when it's the state of Oklahoma that was successfully passing anti-UN legislation? and it had not just gone you know the idea with lip service and they had genuinely been moving ahead guys so in fact they were able to get past the governor the governor was forced is was a ring knocker in a fed and fbi agent and uh... he couldn't stop the state legislature because they roll right over him that's why the oklahoma city was one of the several reasons the oklahoma city bombing took place one of the massage the federal government did it where they did it which is what we argue right from the get-go. Why would, you know, in the weeks before and months before we had nothing but positive, positive, positive, positive, pro-patriot, positive out of Oklahoma. Right now, where it's interesting, we're seeing a variation on the theme here going after, once again, Agenda 21. Also the NSA spying fiasco with the NDAA, blah, blah, blah. That everybody's kind of picked up on, so we're finding that all over the country. That's not a surprise. But the agenda 21 issue I think is more important in many, many ways because they're going after your private property. And basically what they're saying is this is going to rescind if everything stays the course. It's rescinding any and all components and anything to this point that's been implemented by the state. So in other words, across the board it's basically scouring it from the state of Oklahoma. That needs to be promoted. That needs to continue to push that. We'll see if whether or not they stay the course. But it's a definitely a step ahead. I think it's interesting, wherever we've drawn proper attention to this, especially with Agenda 21, this whole thing with Baker's Green Acres and the attack on the Heritage Farm pigs, guys remember they just said, oh, we've decided to throw our hands up in the air. And that's basically what they did. They threw their hands up in there and said, oh, well, you're conforming. They never checked the herd. They never did anything official. They wanted to go kill the herd. But they did nothing to verify that anything that happened plus or minus, they simply arbitrarily wanted to back away from it because things were going to be addressed that they did not want in the public venue. Right. Oh, never mind. But by the way, we disclaim any responsibility for whatever damage we've done to you today. Exactly. So I'm sure that Baker's Green Acres is going to follow up with proper, again, going after them accordingly. the way that they should to punish them for the activities they are involved in because this has cost a lot of business. Their logic was that the average person would run a man out of business. The good thing is that enough people did step in to bridge operations there during this fiasco. I think that also frustrated the bad guys because I'm sure they were told, I don't worry, he won't be able to hold out for more than a couple of months maybe. We got rid of his business. However, as he pointed out, people behaved the way that I normally expect them to behave. 99% of them sat back and sucked on their thumbs and let the one guy who was standing up fight for them. Right. Do all the work. Exactly. That's the way people behave. I could make longer speeches about that, but I just have no respect for that sort of behavior, but it is standard human behavior. I was behind you, I was definitely waiting for the top of the hour. Let me mention that the next program coming up is Joe from Carolina's. I've got to skedaddle and get over to the PC and tune in because I want to grow your own. Again, right now, one of the things I spent a couple of hours on today is prepping all the soil for our little sprouts and things that are coming up. I even did some of the marigolds. I can't help it, BK. I've got so many of these heritage marigolds that every time I turn around, I'll find another cup that I put together from deadheading. I started a few of those. Here we go. What do you want marigolds for, Mark? Bugs, people. Surround the garden with marigolds. It takes care of a lot of the bugs and critters. It's a natural repellent issue. It doesn't kill them, but it encourages them to go the other way. It's like, ewwww! They don't like it. So again, one of the advantages, and the cool thing is, I just know I'm going to get a mill into a Mt. Mcgarden. Why? Well, this year I even made a point of setting up propagation points, and there's already a bunch of them that are just waiting to sprout their little happy heads up once the snow backs away and we get some sunshine. But we're pushing ahead with that in the greenhouse and in the sunroom. Also, the tomatoes, etc. So we're going to really be ahead of the loop here, ahead of the general curve right off the bat. In fact, I'm going to do some hydroponics. I found some really cool containers. I don't know what they were using them for. I didn't have any labels on them, but they're actually trade. They're bulbous. They seal. And they interconnect. So I can actually do a little demihydroponic. I think I'm going to work out a water system with this. I've got all kinds of plastic piping, but the container was free. We found it in one of the recycled bins yesterday. Actually, a couple of them. Each one has about 16 cells. So this is really going to be kind of neat. It's going to be another experiment. And again, Joe, this next hour is going to be talking about that and actually going to be talking about the basics and a whole lot more. And if you have any questions, just like we do with this hour, guys, call in. Take the time and call in, please. Whatever questions you ask, guess what? Probably there's 100 other people that are asking the same question. and joel answer it and if he doesn't know right away i'm sure he will get on the phone i'm sure he'll spend till three four in the morning he will pastor that person wake them out of bed find out what he needs to know if you need to be able to drive there with a car you'll do what needs to be done okay there are a participatory sport if you can come up with a legitimate question that joe cannot answer I'm sure he'll appreciate my encouraging people to do that. Exactly. By the way, I have some people asking about Arctic Parkers, Air Force N3B Parkers. Yes, we can get them. They're in the Air Force blue-green. They have to buy them and set it to one large and one extra large. These are the fur trim hood. They're everything you expect from an N3B Parker, guys. Nice, nice coats and reasonably priced. So more on that, just a heads up. The guys can get hold of us later on in the week here. We're at the top, BK. Close with me. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march both day and night. And next hour we're going to grow things, lots of things. And we're going to feed people. Especially we're going to feed ourselves and still feed other people. Thank you, BK. Got to scoot over to the machine and tune in for Joe. We'll be back. Bye-bye.
