A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? 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 from 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 and 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 to still the land of the good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report I mark kirky 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 central. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com. We're on AM&FM micro stations, CB base 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 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 the left coast where the great state of Jefferson is in motion and a shining beacon, an example for how things can be done and the future will be done. Turning our backs on the rest of the left coast in darkness with our friends fighting hard to shed light across the frontier there, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi inland into Smoky's slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium of Retired Telecommunications Workers bring us The Golden Spike. Many hands make for late work a million Peddicoat Junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, it is a beautiful sunset. It's been a beautiful day so far. We'll be getting cooler, so be prepared for that. But it is winter, after all. It's not gone yet. And it is a fine Friday here it is the fourteenth of march it is the six-year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K two thousand and fourteen older calendar or my in crazy town crazy town calendar as we know uh... It is Quartermaster Friday, so for everybody out there, there are a few things that are always the Friday weekend specials. We'll see if we have BK with us there. Just to be safe before we go any further, I heard a ding. So, and a one and a two, and the bubble machine continues. Okay, very good. And, as it is, again, for everybody, because it's Quartermaster Friday, remember, bullets, beans, basketballs, you name it, Bibles. Everything not just with B but from A to Z is what we typically try to cover to ensure that we offer you a solution. Not just complaining about the problems, or the problems, or the... That's easy to do. Anyway, for our friends listening, right off the bat, I didn't do this in the two hours. Forgive me, you can slap me in the microphone. And one of our friends pointed this out. Palmetto State Armory. has Ruger 10-22s in the standard configuration for I believe it is $200 per gun. Not a bad price for the Ruger 10-22. It's a standard model. Go to PalmettoStateArmory.com. PalmettoStateArmory.com. PalmettoStateArmory.com. And it's marked down for the week, into the weekend I believe, if there are any left. They've gone, Rugers and that price go pretty quick. But a Ruger 1022 is available through PalmettoStateArmory.com for $200 flat rate. Now that's one item. I don't see a whole lot really jumping off the wall, but let's see if there's anything special. That was a few things over there at CDN and Investments. Not that much that's making me go, wow. Hmmm, but they do have a few guns there on the list. Let's see, the 22 long rifle version of the SCAR rifle. If you really feel you want a SCAR, I need a SCAR. I'm on the side of my face, from the eye, of course, my eye all the way down to the base of my jaw. I really look cool. The girls will love it. No, that's not what I'm talking about. Yeah, but it probably does give you that. You see, that's the thing when you... that's a scar rifle. How does that inspire competence? It's a scar! Gonna come up with a better an acronym. Ah, what the hell? Yeah, what can you say? Anyway, it's European. So, this is a copy of it in 22, and they're running, oh, only $390! I can buy a lot of main battle rifles for basic rifles. That'll put big holes in you for $390. So while it is cool, you get a chance. It makes a good trainer if you got a scar. rifle to begin with, but you can buy two riggers for the problem. Almost two riggers for the price of one of those. It does the same thing out of the box kids. So just something to think about there. They also have magazines for the same apparently for only $37 a piece. Only $37 a piece. Only. They do have a pink ISSC 22 long rifle pistol though. With decock and safety, I think one 10 round mag is what I think we're looking at here. And that's only $270. What the heck? I don't think so. Sorry about that. Those aren't exactly sales. So it's interesting if you have lots of money, you could be looking at the Lots of Money page. Otherwise, again, it appears that these have shown up in a number of different places. The ISSC M22s. dotted all over the countryside. So it would purely matter again how much money you have to spend. Well, I'll determine how much you want to throw on the table there kids and I'm not looking in that direction. But over at Centerfire Systems, or you know the people who have less money can probably afford a few things, CenterfireSystems.com has on the top of the page, poison they gots for $150 apiece. It includes a bayonet, one of the cartridge pouches, utility tool and tool kit, the oiler and the sling. Original Woodstock includes Bennett Sling etc. The shopping list we're talking about. It's an average price, not an exciting price, but it's an average price and they do have them in stock. The other thing, right below it though, for those of you looking for semi-auto rifles, and we brought this up before, Centrifier didn't have these though. It was Royal Tiger Imports. But Centrifier Systems has bought a number of Chinese Model 56 SKS carbines These are gunsmiths specials with cracked or broken stocks and trench art. I've never heard that term before. Trench art means scribbled name of last owner before he died and then second to last owner before he died and third to last owner before he died. That's how that usually works. I've got a Harper's Ferry 1856 cap and ball. that has three sets of initials carved into the stock. One set is really, really well done. The other two are a lot cruder. So you figured out, was it the cruder ones done first or first one was probably done well when they had time to think about it. The other two, not so much. And yeah, it's an original 1856 Harper's Ferry. Pretty good shape for its age, pre-Civil War. A lot of Harper's Ferry's guns went into the war early on. And again, yep, it's a smoothbore. It's a musket, guys. It's not a rifle gun. It's a Harper's Ferry 1856 musket. OK. So anyway, I guess we call that Trenchart. That's the term used. But it's in reality here, these weapons I do not believe came from China. I've had several conversations with people on this. And the feel is these came from Vietnam or from Cambodia. There are a few other countries in the Pacific as far as the island states where they could have been purchased, but most likely of all the guns you could buy for those Vietnam vets out there, so, oh, I always wanted an SKS. One of the reasons guys wanted the SKS or the AK is because they didn't bring back one from the war, or if they did, they don't want to bring it out because it's got a selector switch on it if it's an AK. The other thing is that, again, it's nostalgia. It's like, well, that's what they were shooting at me with. I was one on one of these. Well, a lot of guys bought them. Then the 7-off rifle, the 7-off carbine in this case, the SKS carbine. A very reliable rifle. Although I've got lots of hours on this particular weapon with many tens of thousands of rounds fired in the S-CAS configured weapons. I have no problem with them at all. I highly recommend them. I laugh at people who say, oh, that's just an S-CAS. Yeah, OK, we can jump over on the wellhouse. Let me put a 10-rounder in you and see what happens. Oops, yes, you're dead. So anyway, remember, also a longer barrel on the S-CAS, even though it's a carbine and then the assault rifle has a shorter barrel. It's a 20 inch barrel. The rifles are very comfortable. There were paratrooper models made. They have the shorter barrels. They're also magazine fed using a regular AK mag that were built by the Chinese because they could get the magazines, but they couldn't get the rifle. So, what they did is they retrofitted and then also built new several models of SKS that had a magazine well with steel liner inserts. Some of these got to the US later on and actually are a good choice in terms of the SKS to get the best of two worlds, standard AK mags and the SKS, the guest gas action. Typically what I would do is keep it in the 10 round magazine configuration. If it's got a broken stock you can find replacement stocks for as little as about $24 a piece. I would go the cheapest stock to put on the rifle. Typically it will be a straight Monte Carlo replacement for the standard stock that you see on the weapon as they picture it. That's good enough. You want to go fancier? Purely no matter how much money you want to spend. But you are saving money by buying these Gunsmiths Special Models. There's nothing wrong with the action. There's nothing wrong with the rifle. The basic operation, everything is straightforward. It's an SKS, the bolt's there, all the parts are there. It's got a cracked or broken stock. Well, take it off. Now don't throw that stock away. Instead, look at how to, in fact if you wanted to, if you've got a little wood smithing skills here, you know, if you're a board beaver, well, guess what? You get out there and you actually fix the stock back up. You could do an armory's pin job with brass screws. Then you trim off, you drill the wood, smaller bore, run the wood screw through, cut the wood screw off on the outside and on the inside where it bores through where the material is. After you've glued it, of course, but first you glue it, then you screw it. Once it's screwed in place, you cut the brass off, clean up and polish accordingly. Mr. Dremel Tool is your friend. And that was an armory standard repair for stocks, even in the US military. back in the day when we had wood stocks. So it is a solution. You may not want to go that way, but I wouldn't throw it out. I'd fix it anyway. You never know when somebody else is going to need a stock, and any stock that works is better than no stock. Anything that will work or go back on a weapon, any gun parts, need to be brought back up to snuff and then put on the shelf and stored. It's that simple. So anyway, solutions rather than complaining about the problem. Anyway, so again that's CenterfireSystems.com. They're not going to answer the phone over the weekend. They're $220 a piece. They're on the front page and they're readily available. So there you go. Another light rifle solution. And considering what they want for those .22s, you can buy two SKS's for the price of $122. I would say the two SKS's are probably going to get you farther. What do you think? Get my drift or again. Oh, here's an idea get one of the nagots one of the SKS's and then by lots and lots of ammo Hey, there you go. 762 by 39 and 545. They've got Bulgarian corrosive It's $120 per 10 For 440 rounds in the sealed 10. I'm pretty sure that Bulgarian is corrosive. I was right They don't tell me what head stamp but it shows that it's a new head stamp as new cans. So 1979, maybe, looks like probably 79 production. So 1979, corrosive Bulgarian, and that's in the 440 round sealed tin, $120. So check that out, see if that serves your purpose. Now, we've been doing certain projects. Now we're late in the season, and still as we find skis, guys, and I've been collecting dozens and dozens of pairs of skis, One of the things that we're doing, in fact one of our radio operators, he left this morning with another pair of skis to make up another sledge, slash utility sled. Guys, if somebody wants to get rid of old skis, grab them. In fact, you're gonna get later in the winter here, people will start into the early spring and spring, people will start tossing them because they're gonna get rid of their toys. One of the other things I've been getting a whole pile of are snowboards. In fact, really nice snowboards, nothing wrong with them. Maybe not the prettiest, but remember that these are all excellent solutions for certain problems we've been talking about with regard to cargo or casualty transport, etc. So you might want to consider the idea that with a little bit of conduit or if you want to use laminated wood or whatever you want to do, experiment. After all, if you get the skis for free, hmm, sky's the limit. Figure out what you want to do with it. Now, basic rules are again, flush surface for the ski surface to the ground. For obvious reasons, you don't want to build up any resistance. The idea is to make it easier to move cargo, move your gear, move a casualty. So we want the skis to ride and not resist any more than necessary. So again, keep the lower surface as clear and clean as possible. Doesn't have to be very fancy and there's all kinds of cheap connector materials. The other one experiment we're doing is with a heavier gauge PVC pipe and making up a tray slash a transport rack that way. We have lots of PVC pipe. What we're doing is cutting the cutting four inch, three inch and four inch and a half and then laying that down on the ski as a crossbar. You cut in half and then you know in other words the half moon is down. for the broad faces down and then screwing those in place that way and then putting your crossbars on that. Now the idea is also then to lighten the thing up. So what we're going to experiment first with is just using the stock the way it is and the PVC pipe and then what we're going to be doing is modifying to see what we can do to take weight off and also take resistance points off. It's not that hard to do and again the idea is that half inch PVC pipe to make the basket, the frame for cargo is also again, cheapy. What we're doing is watching construction sites for throw out. Lots of, you know, fixtures are usually tossed out too because it's cheap for the contractors so they toss out the excess, don't think twice, that's good, we like that. and using T connectors and elbows etc. You can come up with a pretty decent basket for that cargo and equipment that you want to move. Then you've got to work on again a tow rope configuration because remember you're going to typically be pulling it. Well I guess it doesn't mean if you're careful and don't put any sharp pointy edges on anything that you couldn't actually use it to ski downhill with if need be or at least you know again to move fast if it will ride the snow and it won't bog down. Then it would be kind of a cool solution to make a lot of speed in a very short period of time. Making up time that way guys, not a bad idea. So the idea here is again, the cargo rope, there's a number of different solutions with regard to D-rings and fastening to the front of the skis. Remember that we want to try and lift the ski when we're pulling it so that we actually help it to toboggan better. so that it rides over the snow, the front points are lifted up rather than pushed down or pulled down. Something to think about there. Again, watch for the stuff people are getting rid of. Do this out of junk. That way when the time comes, if you ever have to abandon it, you ain't going to cry. It's all made from garbage. And it's not really garbage, it's all well made stuff. These skis run stupid prices, but you know what? People have attitudes. Don't correct the attitudes. Take what it is they're trying to get rid of and run with that puppy. Okay, so again... It's an opportunity to come up with solutions rather than just complaining about the problems. And it is late in the season we're going to be finishing a bunch of these projects up with different people even as the snow is disappearing. But they're not going to go anywhere for the season. They'll be hanging up in the garage or they'll be hanging up in the tool shed waiting for next winter when the time comes. Meanwhile, the other thing is right now not many people are really thinking about golf. The snow out there still kind of hinders that, although they will be going to the indoor driving ranges or the putt putt ranges or whatever. Well, golf carts, something we've mentioned before for logistic transport, one of the things that can be done, and in fact as a cross member to this, the carts, the caddies can be found anywhere. I really wouldn't care what age they are, new or older, what difference does it make? Do the wheels turn? Is it usable? Is it serviceable? Yeah. Everything can be covered with a fine coat of OD green paint and made to look very military very fast. See how that works? So again, think paint when it comes to covering up a multitude of sins to include color. If it's red or orange or yellow but you get it for free, grab it. The worst that's going to happen is that you end up, again, having to maybe repaint it down the road or touch it up with another color, which is what I do. I don't repaint it the same color. If I have to touch up break points or scales off of the material, pick another tactical color and spray that in place in splotches. It breaks up the design. It breaks up the lines of the equipment. But what's neat about these golf caddies is that they are readily available for a pretty good price, as in $2, $3 a piece at some of the resale shops. The newest ones, as I've said many times, have a wider all-terrain tire so that they float on the sod so they don't break up the material, the sod and the turf areas that have been worked on so heavily and are specially planted and specially cut and specially cultivated, etc., etc. Now, many are foldables. I actually think that's a good idea because you can actually boom out of the way. But remember that what we're going to do with these is we're going to make a new base plate. And there's a couple of ways to do that. Most of them have a round base plate. Now, you could take the innards out of even a regular golf bag, depending on what you're going to use these things for. We did do this with one of them. We cut out the golf bag on the inside as far as the small dividers go. and we use the golf caddy bag for extension poles for our mass, for our radio mass. And the whole package fits into one golf bag. The pockets on the outside hold the stakes and the cables. All the individual components and the antenna go into the caddy. The neat thing is, what I've been finding is all weather covers and shields and boxes, all kinds of goofy stuff, brand new in the box even, guys. Well, it's free. I mean free. I didn't paint any of that stuff. But what you can do is actually make a cover to go over everything that's available off the shelf. And if you want to break up the color, typically they are colored, but a lot of the golf bags I'm finding are black. So break out the can, throw some medium brown. throw some OD green, vary the color, congratulations, now you've got a tactical bag. And guess what? It didn't cost you anything. I've got two sitting outside right now. If I use them, I use them. If I don't or if somebody needs a golf bag, we're golfing. I'll just give it to them. But on the other hand, I've got another one for another project. Now, that would be with a round base, but here's the other thing. If you go to goblequidation.com, guys, or if you go to any of your Bigger, older style surplus stores where they have a big backyard and maybe a pole barn or whatever, they're buying these items from the Donut of Destruction, the transport cans. Now we talked about the night vision transport cans in the two hour block. But let me point something out. I'm going to do it this way. If you go to goblequidation.com, there's a whole list of aircraft parts, audio video, boats and marine. By the way, they've got landing craft available in California again. More on that in a minute. Construction and heavy equipment. Electrical equipment, industrial equipment, machinery, material handling. You would think that containers would be in material handling, right? They're never where you're expecting them to be. Well, then you go medical and dental. There's some pretty good stuff there right now, by the way. but non-metallic scrap. Tap the non-metallic scrap section. Now when you get to non-metallic scrap you will see that there's monitors, computers, keyboards, all kinds of stuff, but that's not what we're looking for. We're going to go over here, there's five sections. Electronic scrap, glass, paper and cardboard scrap, plastic scrap and rubber scrap. Well, let's hit the plastic scrap. Now you will see all kinds of unique things that are plastic. One of them is they've got metal and plastic parts bins out in Cortland, New York. And then there's lots and lots of rolls of plastic, and lots and lots of rolls of plastic, and lots and lots. Hey, wait a minute. Cases, plastic, shipping and storage. Cases, plastic, shipping and storage. Hard-dicked green plastic storage containers. Hard-dicked green plastic storage. Hey, wait a minute. Now a bunch of this stuff is at Fort Bragg right now. But it doesn't appear at another location. Oh, we got BK now? Ah, yeah, finally. OK. There we go. I can hear you. Well, I'll tell you what real quick here, guys. If you look, there are cans that are actually oblong, not much bigger than the normal height of the length of what is the height of a golf bag. Now, these make perfect containers for strapping down and using as cargo bins for these caddies. A lot of guys that are 50 caliber shooters have been doing this. They spend more money. They'll spend whatever money to find the right box. And they use it as a tool box or as a maintenance support box or an ammo and maintenance support box. Well, if you go to Gov Liquidation, you can get multiples of these. So I would highly recommend you check it out. We've got BK with us. Again, that's govliquidation.com, govliquidation.com now. BK, I've got to do this before we jump in anything else. Guys, if you go to Gov Liquidation right now, on the front page, there's a tank landing craft. Now these are not out in Hawaii like the other five were, or in Guam like the other two were. There's a couple of them, and right now they're in Vallejo, California. And it shows them in the water. There's a complete photo essay, and these are landing craft, mechanized, model LCM type 8. The vessel is powered by two Detroit diesels Two Detroit diesel type 12v71 model 7122-7000 diesel engines cooled by freshwater self-contained cooling system Let's see what's the capacity here on these anyway, it's 42.9 inches 42 feet 9 inches long 14 feet 6 inches wide has a range of 240 nautical miles at 11 knots. Hey 11 knots is not bad for even a landing craft guys and Let's see whole ideas 8538 displacement of the vessel Light is 58.81 long tons heavy Oh, that can't be right. They can't be reading that right. I don't know if I could trust that. It doesn't make any sense. It's not 116,307 tons. I know that. So I would assume that might even be like 116 tons because usually double the capacity and since it's 58 that's more likely the case. So somebody screwed up on the typewriter. But, vessel is located at Mare Island in Vallejo, California. Buyer loads? What do you mean load? Hell, I just take it down the coast or up the coast. What the hell are we talking about? Buyer loads. Anyway, buyer loads, load out may only take place at high tide. Duh! preview and loadout by appointment only and you have to talk to Sean Martinez 602 309 5996 or sean-martius sean.martius at liquidityservices.com anyway it's on the front page the cool thing about this guys is they do complete photo essays this is a tank landing craft this is actually the same basic model that they've been selling around the planet here. The last couple of sails, they were overseas, like I said, Hawaii and also in Guam. Yeah, the way I'd read that description is that you probably need to hire the tugboat from the nearby marina because Murphy's Law being what it is. You probably can't walk up there and get the thing to actually start up, you know, on salt. Well, you get the high tide, you throw it to the nearest marina, you tinker with it a little bit, and then you're cooking. Well, the thing is, these typically run, but the issue is whether or not you have the insurance and the tags, and you know how it is, all the other BS that they attach to it. There are two of them though. You have any rippings and blessings from the Emperor before you are allowed to scratch your back. Exactly. If you don't get the Hail Mary, then they'll have Syncumary. Or they'll tax you. I love it. They'll probably be waiting there with a Coast Guard boat and not say a word. You know how it is. It's like cops on donuts. It's like, oh look, now we can hit the lights. Anyway, there's more than one of those landing craft by the way. But there is also a loadable warping tug. Now, your guess as far as the way it's built, it looks to be a flat barge is what it is. But it's a nav-fac side-loadable warping tug. That's another thing that's available, but this one is in port Hanema or Huneem, California. So guys, for our friends out there on the left coast, if you want to start building up a California slash or a state of Franklin, a naval component, these things don't really go for as much as you'd think for the landing craft. In fact, if you can get a history, you go to the history from Gov Liquidation, you can find out what people have bid on these before and paid for. And there is a complete photo essay. They look in pretty good shape. They're actually, these two, are in the water and they're really clean. Now I don't know if they got any quarters on board, but they got an over, obviously the freestanding center deck house. And you have to talk to the operator more about, find out more about what all is going on with it. Looks like it has a little machine shop down below. Cool. But anyway, total photo essay, check it out, it's really neat. BK, I know we got stuff to go over, so jump in there. I've been touching on the golf cart thing guys, because people aren't thinking about golf, but they are going to be in the next month. So, right now they're still on the ground, maybe going over to the driving range, that's one thing. But going out on the field, maybe down south, but not up here where we are. So if you go to a resale shop like over, we've got a couple church stores, they've got several of these for $3 a piece that we've been talking about. For $3, that's an awful cheap equipment transporter. And also a great way to support some of those belt-fed pieces of equipment you guys have already acquired. Just a little hint there. Go ahead, BK, jump in there please. Well, I have less than normal because things are a mess for me today and I just got back. I was planning to blame my lateness on Ed or blame it on Skype or blame it on somebody, but I'm not creative enough to come up with a really good alibi. I was just out there raking in the bushels and bushels of FRMs. That's how I am. I have to bug my ass. Basing in the money, right? Oh yeah, I've got to construct the BK fortune so that we can add another couple of floors to the LTR broadcasting tower and technical contacts. I thought you were committed to building the East Wing. What happened? Yeah, we're working on the funding. So I do have a couple of interesting things, but I want to hammer a couple of old things and we're at risk of sounding like the boy who cried wolf by repeating things over and over and over again. But we're going to do it because we need to get through to people and we always have new people on any given program. If you head to our archive site, that is indianafreedomtalkradio.com, our archive is kindly maintained by Spike. You will find there is a copy there that has been newly restored. We had some PC problems and took a little while to sort them out. Newly restored on that site, you will find a copy of Butternut's spreadsheet. The rationale of the spreadsheet is that I think that people who have put things up have probably put up less than they think they have in terms of how many, you know, man months that constitutes and very frequently I think that what they have put up will be more imbalanced than they think. Sensible people will realize that if you put up canned goods, you put up pasta, you put up wheat, you put up this, that and the other thing, it's not going to be a balanced diet. But the goal is to provide a base of sufficient calories and so on to keep people on their feet. And you do what you can with the garden and ongoing production. And in due course, the farmers will get back in the business of actually farming as opposed to manufacturing corn. GMO material and so on and so forth. But it's going to take some time and the purpose of food stores is to get us over that bump and keep people operational during the gap after a disruption. Well, I suspect that people's stores are probably even more in balance than they think they are and the spreadsheet is intended to help them identify to what extent that's the case and to sort that out and to figure out how much they actually have on hand and so on. So if you grab that spreadsheet, it is fully available on IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com. You can load up a copy of Open Office, which is available free from OpenOffice.org. It should run on almost any machine that's currently in service. And enable macros, you will have to give it permission to run macros because it relies on those. You will find that there are many predefined foods in there. Perhaps not everything that you have in your stores, but much of it. And if you email me, I will update the spreadsheet with the new data that you provide. If you say, you know, Trixie's brand marshmallows have the following label data on them, and you include the protein, fats, and carbs. Then I will add that brand of marshmallows and send you a copy of the spreadsheet and we will update the one that's on the site. Contact me if there's a deficiency or if you find a bug or whatnot. There's contact data in the spreadsheet itself. Meanwhile, grab a copy of that, take a look at it, enter some data into the front page and see what it says on the fourth or fifth tab there, which is the summary sheet. But that summary sheet does is it will tell you how many man months, man days of proteins, fats and carbs you have in what you have entered into the front page. When the spreadsheet arrives, it will have some example data in there that is junk data. I don't think that that's a, you know, a big case. pantry. That is just an example to show you some of the formats that are available in the spreadsheet. Look at it for a few minutes and you will get the idea. So try that out, see what you've come up with, see if it tells you that you have twice as much carbs as you do proteins and twice as many man days of proteins as you do fats or whatever the ratio may be and set about correcting that. The goal, it's going to take time, it's going to take money and it's going to take space to fix this stuff. So the sooner you get started, the better. That lets you chip away at things, lets you rummage around in what you've got, probably find some things that are older than you really want to use, maybe some of the critters can use them or something like that. It's not a bad idea to go through and review what you have done in the past regardless. And the arrival of the spreadsheet may be a good stimulus to go through and do an inventory that's overdue anyway. But that spreadsheet will give you some data analysis of what you have entered and hopefully give you a better view of what's going on. If you really want to, you can mess around on one of the intermediate pages and change its expectations of how many calories a person should have in a day and so on. But I set those up so it's easy enough to alter. You don't have to go into the code to do it. You just change them on one of the pages. But the defaults that are there are, I think, reasonable. and whether on the conservative side perhaps some of your personnel will probably be able to get biosphere calories than I set up the spreadsheet for, but it's better to have more calories allocated than to few. So indianafreedomtalkradio.com that is Spike's site, it's right there on the front page, grab the BK spreadsheet and download it and away you go. There will be no dollars out of pocket, just some time and hopefully we will have helped you a little bit. Comments before we proceed. because every calorie is going to count in the future. And again, diversification is a big plus. Take advantage of it. Go ahead. Okay. Another topic that's also going to sound like a boy who cried wolf, but we've been coming up hard on the cliff, the NBC gear. Mark has spoken of this recently and said things along the lines that, well, it's getting harder and harder to find masks, it's getting harder and harder to find filters, these things are being sucked down. I think that that's exactly the case. They are being sucked down, they're being exported. For all of the nonsense about if you buy vests then you can't export them. I think that the guys with the wires stuck in their ears are in fact exporting a lot of this stuff right now in our noble and glorious efforts to overturn regimes throughout the Middle East, Northern Africa, Southern Europe, etc. If anybody else does that, that is evil. If we do that, of course, that's not perfectly okay. We recently had Kerry getting on a podium and saying, you cannot violate the sovereignty of foreign countries. Well, he was telling the truth. He was saying, you can't do it. You didn't say we can't do it. We, supposedly the US federal government that supposedly works for us, that supposedly follows the constitution that supposedly has principles, supposedly this, that and the other thing, is doing exactly that stuff. Without getting too deeply into that topic, I think that that effort is impacting on our available access to supplies. In the NBC, that showing up I also think that the ammunition shortage is manufactured in DC and is using a bottomless checkbook to buy these things and divert them. Perhaps off to the Mariana's Trench for all we know, but certainly using our money to divert those resources away from us. But in the meantime, Gun Parts Corp, good old numb rich, continues to have available the 60 millimeter filters in crate quantities of $150 for 45 filters, which when you add a little bit of shipping works out to about $4 of filter. Gang, you're not going to find $4 of filter anywhere else. An outfit called Marspec used to have things like the old DDR coffee can filters. I don't know where you can get those anymore. I need to get some, I should have done a bunch of that in the past. I think I may be just playing out a lot. I don't think they are available in any quantity, any place at this point. on which gun parts, etc., will still sell you the thin 16mm filters in case a lot of quantities. There's no telling how long those will last. If you pass that up and the income, you know, applying to us and say, you know, Mark, BK, where can I find this stuff? I'm just going to have to look at you in shrug and say, I don't know. There were some opportunities, but they've been sucked down. Gunfights Corp also has a Canadian C3 Masks that uses the 60mm filters directly. They have had the M65 Dragers at a little bit more, I think that's around $25 apiece or something like that. Last time I checked, which was a day or two ago, they still had those. So that is a possibility those use the standard NATO 40 millimeter filters, but this is a remaining source and one of very few remaining sources, so if you don't pounce on that while the pouncing is good then you know don't come to us later or if you do we're just gonna have to chain up look at your blankly and say there's no doubt we can do for you. Well, maybe I have a couple of thin masks that I could part with at $100 a piece. As long as you have what you need for yourself, maybe. A lot of people aren't even going to come off the spares, guys. See, that's one of the things I'm warning everybody about. The thing is that what we had three Different categories run out over the week and only one type of mass come in. The M1, M2, Yugoslavian mass, a very small batch of them came in through one of the importers. And I mean small, only like 6, 700 mass. I don't know even if they have them left. I haven't even checked today. to see if they're even in stock because I kind of doubt it as quickly as they've been going through gas masks. And like you said, one of the things you remember, there's all kinds of special people that aren't like you and me who can and will export masks and everything else because they've got the special pad on the head and the squeeze on the rumpus. And that is consuming a lot of this stuff because they're attached to the right oi boy or whoever and they're being given special dispensation. So what they'll do is they'll go to these companies and say, well, do you have this or you have this and this? And they say, yeah, sure. Well, how many do you have? Well, I got 6,000. I want them all. I mean, that's what wholesalers are for, guys. So before the retailers can even jump in or some of the people you're familiar with jump in, the market's already consumed. This is what we are seeing across the board. There have only been a few items and it is only because at this point they are not scraping the rest of the barrel. Some things are open already like chem suits. Preferably they want the chem suits in bags. They want them brand new bundled. But they will take the others later on when they run out of everything else. And they won't think twice about doing it. So right now there are odds and ends. At the retail end there are still only odds and ends. But that's eventually the next wall that right now we're seeing at the wholesale end is going to hit the retail end. I'm looking right now just to see. Well, okay, they do have 80 of the UGOs left at the wholesale. So somebody did come in and pick up probably pretty much all of them. That probably went in a couple of sweeps. They're the only mass they had that's actually in stock right now. All the others, the Russians, the in fact out of stock includes The Swiss masks in both the adult and the small sizes, the M10Ms, the Israeli Civil Defense masks, and even the Czech chem suits and the US chem suits, they had brand new US chem suits in the bag, guys, for $10. But that's wholesale, but still, that's a good price even for wholesale. All of those are gone. The Israeli masks were running on the wholesale end. The batch came in Monday and they were gone by Wednesday afternoon. I think they had about $8,000. They went for $16.50 wholesale. So you figure out what it would cost retail. Double that. Typically double or at least a little under double is what they have to do for retail. That's not what we do, but that's typically what a store will do. in the Swiss and even the M10s are out BK and that's one of those bread and butter masks for a while now. But if we're lucky, maybe what we'll see is some of these Hugo masks coming in and dribbles for the time being. The cool thing is it matches up. The Yugoslavian mask is made by Nokia. That's the same company that made your finish mask. It's the same company and so they're all integratable for parts and for lenses and for hoods and for head harnesses, the whole nine yards. The other thing is that is a 60 millimeter filter system because it's a direct copy of the M9. So the filters that you've been talking about, BK, will zip right onto these guys. So if you see them out there, they're a good mask. The U-Gos coming in are brand new in the plastic. In fact, they show a picture. Let me see how they did the filters. The filters are plastic sealed and they are obviously button sealed front and rear. They have a screw on cap and a button sealed front. These are really nice masks. They don't have as much of the chromed material on them. The finished mask had more of a different material for the breather cover and such. Remember, Finland is in the Arctic Circle part of the way. So, their masks are already set up just like their weapons for cold weather operations. Yugoslavians are more towards the Mediterranean more, so their standard mask is more like our US M9 or our M17 or our newer masks. So, that's the only difference. And that's the spec that they laid down. Because remember, these weren't made by the Yugoslavians. These were made by Finland. These are just like your finished masks that you've already been purchasing. None of the finished masks go around except maybe in some of the retailers. Those have pretty well run their course by what it looks. And the other thing is, consider this. Where's Finland on the map in proportion to where the Ukraine is? If you're in Europe right now, you're not getting rid of a whole lot of stuff because that's spitting distance by modern warfare standards. So, small countries and countries that have, you know, billed for themselves, they don't sell out of country, Finland's like that. Sweden for the most part is like that. Doesn't mean they won't sell on the rental revolution market, but mostly they billed for themselves. So when you see a war brewing up over towards your eastern border, you're not going to be throwing surplus out because you might need it. And that's the cycle of war that we've talked about for years. As long as I've been on the air, I've watched this with gas masks, but it's also true with other surplus right now. So I'm noticing gloves, mittens, and socks have been depleted completely and are not being replaced. That's another thing. And that's also an indicator of overseas activity, not just here. And again, even if they're buying it here and shipping it back from somewhere to somewhere else. Wholesalers have buildings the size of villages. When we're talking wholesalers, the real wholesalers, like Sturm overseas, they're the old German military factories that look like caves that go on for a quarter mile. They can outfit whole armies from their inventory, guys. They don't sell things by the shirt or by the pant. They sell the clothes by the pound and the bail. Think about that. That's how it comes. You know, cardboard baler BK? Just think cardboard baler. That's how they bail up their military clothing and they sell it to the armies by the pound. You get a package, there's so many mixed sizes in there to outfit so many troops. Well, that's how you calculate how much will fit into a container or a truck. Yeah, exactly. Now, last time I checked, me and military was the source to get the adapters that will let you use a 40 millimeter filter on one of the 60 millimeter masks. They were offering five adapters. next orange and black plastic for $9 if I recall. Last time I checked that we're still in stock of those. That may or may not still be the case. That is the place to get those. Gun Parts Corp has the similar adapter, I think it's another one, that costs $10 or $12 each. So, main military is definitely the source to look for those plastic adapters. If you end up with orange wings instead of black, you just go to work on them with a Sharpie, you know, or Magic Marker, whatever you want. Darken it up if you prefer. One of our friends in the chatroom posted a link that suggests that Maine military has some of the M10s. I don't know about the filter, so you want to check filter availability before you purchase a particular model of that sort. But that is a possibility. Maine military may have some of the M10s as well. And they're starting to creep up in price which reflects what the cost is, wholesale too. Remember they were doing some great deals on M10s and if you've been listening to the program we steered you towards the stuff that was reasonably priced. You're looking at $25 a unit for the M10s from Maine. Again, those are perfect kits. Everything is there ready to roll. They work, especially for veterans. I've got one of our friends listening. I'm doing a custom kit for him right now. Uniforms, field jackets. He's familiar with the M17 and the M9 because he's from that era. Same as a lot of you. The M10 is something where you'd be totally familiar with it. The Yugo masks, same thing. You'd be totally comfortable with them. You're familiar with them. You probably served for many years using them. So, it's not a problem. And again, if you don't think you need a gas mask, I suggest you watch all that rioting slash fighting in the streets that took place in the Ukraine, guys. Did you notice all the smoke in the air? Did you notice that all the men on the ground were wearing either face masks or gas masks? Do you want to guess why? Because constantly, constantly, CSCN and other anti-personnel aerosol spray or again heat link particulate chem agents were in the air. So if you don't think you need a gas mask, you go roll over there and watch the hours and hours of footage and you figure out what's going on. And then ask yourself how long can you hold your breath or how long are you going to stay in that environment if you're completely exposed. Even barring the CSCN and so on, just combustion products of burning buildings is not good for you. Tires! Yeah, tires! That will create all kinds of upper respiratory distress, guys. And just having a mask for that purpose will save you a whole lot of trouble. The other thing is body handling. If you have to clean something out or if you're having to deal with bodies, especially if there's been any time where they've been sitting, a gas mask will save you a whole lot of misery. So just keep that in mind too. Just a clean up messes. You know, one freezer left unplugged in your retreat and you open the door, well there's a gas mask. You know what I mean? Try it. You'll like it. Works really well. So there's all kinds of other work applications for it too where you might have to deal with just everyday problems in your retreat activities. Go ahead BK. We should have a little bit of time. Jump in there please. We have about one minute. start even new topics, but I will say that at the risk of sounding callous and cruel, I had occasion to use my plain old shop respirator a few times when I was taking care of a family member who was passing away. So, just, you know, even medical situations, it's useful. Exactly, and the idea is to again because if you're more comfortable, if you're tending to somebody, you're able to take care of them. You're able to stay focused. This is especially critical because we're all going to have jobs to do in life as we progress and these are tools in the toolbox. And right now they're cheap. Even at $25 guys, go look at what a new mask is running. And these are new surplus masks pretty much that are being offered. And the only thing that changes out is the filter. You change and go to an upgraded filter, you can do everything that the newer masks can do. But there are new masks for $200, $300, $400, $400, and progressively if the surplus situation keeps going the way it is, our government destroys all the masks they surplus. Unless a police department or civil defense, if they did and they don't mostly, If they were to tag them and move them, then they might be saved. But yeah, you get to pay for them being manufactured, and then you get to pay for them being destroyed, and then you get to pay for whatever's left of it. Exactly. So again, don't count on anything being there for you from the government. They're going to fail us completely and intentionally. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen on your own. We are at the top it's after dark. It's been a maybe a beautiful weekend. We'll see what happens Hopefully it's supposed to be clear over the weekend They say a little warmer tomorrow and even then today maybe by a few degrees Watch out for the mouth and watch out for the freeze ice on the road. 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 for day and night. Thank you BK Goodbye.
