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 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm R. Kornke. Help, I've dropped my beer and I can't pick it up. Oh wait, are we on the air? Oh, rap. This is better, nice. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net technologies east and west in Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third, the fifth, the pit, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado, waving the left coast where the fine state of Jefferson is out there, a shining beacon of liberty and persevering in the face of Soviet socialism occupation on the left coast. We turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks in the Mississippi and land in the Smoky, slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar 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. And I tell you what, there's been a lot of strange things happening in the system for the last 40 hours or so. But, DK, what is the date today? It's been not rainy, but it's been gray like it wanted to rain all day, but it hasn't. So, you still have kind of well-damped dry here. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? It is 28 March 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this quarter masters corner. And actually we got some rain yesterday and today. And for the next few days it's supposed to be very warm. Today was in the 50s and so I got to get out there in the yard. I have all sorts of fun with the rake and dragging tarps back and forth and all this kind of good stuff. I've got the tiniest fraction of all that crud scraped up and dragged around back and that all pooped out and so on. I'm going to have to get in touch with Joe and all of his permaculture tricks and see if he knows a way of teaching a sweet gum tree to to gather up its own little seed pods and dump them someplace. I don't like this business of me having to cart them around for the dump tree. There ought to be a way to get that to do its work for us instead. I do not like this business of having to do this every year all by myself. This is too much like work. I don't like work. I like results. Not work. Well, after all, eventually WRK has to be applied to something, right? Well, kind of. I suppose, but it's best if somebody or something else does it. Oh well. Okay, we have all sorts of interesting stuff to look at today, but let me run through a couple of the routine reminders. For the regular listeners, we have restored the spreadsheet to Spike's Archive, that is indianafreedomtalkradio.com. So, old BK spreadsheet is available and downloadable for $0.00 and 0 cents. If you do not have some sort of mechanized, automated, computerized means of keeping track of your food inventories, then grab that one. That is not bad if I do say so myself and it is freely available for the usual butter knife price of $0.00 and 0 cents on IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com I will also remind people that we are running very low on available supplies of NBC equipment, that's nuclear biological chemical. The masks are becoming few and far between. Filters are still available but getting a little bit more pricey and so on. You can still get 60 millimeter fin style filters from gunpartscorp.com, good old numrich. at the case price of 45 of them in a case for $150 plus some shipping. That basically works out to about $4 a piece and you're not going to be able to touch that anywhere. When they run out, they will run out without any notice. They've had those for years and I cannot believe that they've lasted as long as they have. At some point that will be gone. They used to have the masks. The masks are gone. They do have some other masks including the Canadian C3 style that uses 60 millimeters. They also have the Draeger M65s at $24 a piece for a mask filter and a hard case, which is not a bad option there. That's a 40 millimeter style. So, access that particular supply point if you are not all topped up on your NBC stuff because that one is being overlooked by people but at some point that one will be evacuated. Now, I got some news. in conversation from one of our friends just this week saying that in his area, his Wall-E seems to have gotten back in stock with most varieties of ammunition, a standard Wall-E retail price, which is not awful and not terrific for most of the calibers. But according to him, his local Wallis have almost everything except 22LR and a couple of other calibers. He says that they even have 223 and 308 packaged by the ammo can. So, if you have not checked recently, I have not checked mine recently. I haven't seen any point in it and there aren't any large heaps of FRNs lying around BK's place. So, I have not been checking the local WALL-E in this end. But, according to our friend, that is a possibility. They may have quietly started to restore their inventories and their flow of some of the sporting style ammunition, the other calibers, the 7mm Remington Magnum seems to be one of their favorites, and the 243 and the 3030 and all that kind of good stuff. So, if you are out there hunting for ammo, they are probably not much of a source for .22LR, but aside from that, I am told that things are improving a little bit at the wally end. Comments, etc. Again, like we are here, some shot shells have shown up in the box stores. But that's about it depending on where you are. I haven't checked Wally World to see what they have. They're a bigger box store so they have greater purchasing power. But Meyers Shifty Takers for instance has two flavors of rifle caliber and because they haven't really been restocking in any of the center fire rifle or pistol, they've started to spread out the shotgun shells into the rifle case which is typically locked up to at least look like they have something. So, it's putting it where you are. I've seen Wally do that sort of trick too where they spread things around. Back when they were receiving 22LR in bricks, the employees would helpfully rip the bricks apart so that they can artfully stack all the little boxes of 50 everywhere. I don't consider that helpful. I would rather just handle them by the brick. At the prices they have been running, I suppose people have bought little boxes of 50 at a time. There is a vendor I have spotted recently that does have 22LR. This place is called amofast.com. They are offering a Remington Thunderbolt which is one of the low and perfectly good but kind of dirty 22LR at a measly $0.15 a round but at least they have inventory so if you are really desperately in need for something. A good old garden variety clean your gun very thoroughly because it's going to soot it up pretty badly. Thunderbolt is available at that vendor. Ammofast.com is an available option. Again, the big thing is depending on where you are, the box stores, Cabela's and also I mentioned Gander Mountain, remember the two hour block. been scarfing up a whole lot of material that normally would come in from overseas. They've been sending their purchasing agents out and diverting into their inventory. So I would assume, you know, Wally World has been smart for years, but they just don't sell wholesale anymore. They used to be, remember this happened about four years ago, they originally would actually accumulate 12, 14, 15, 20 million rounds of 2-2-3 and they would side sell it. to the other box companies or to anybody who wanted to purchase it. Well, they changed their policy because of what was coming up on the horizon and they kept it to themselves. Of course, progressively this last year, actually the last two years, they depleted their inventory almost completely. But they're basically following what looks like the same policy they had before after the change, not before the change, but their policy was to accumulate and keep for themselves. So that's probably what they've been doing is prioritizing a random shopping list. Whoever has what they grab and they're getting there before everybody else which is why they've got it. They've got the purchasing power. They're probably also snagging it without as much of a discount to ensure that they get the product. Which, Gander Mountain, it sounds like they've been doing the same thing with weapons. so that they've been keeping the racks filled with something. Not necessarily the first best choice, but something out there at least, no matter what the price is. Go ahead. Okay, we have mentioned these guys before, but they continue to have inventory by gunsandammo.com. That's all spelled out. There's no ampersand. It is A-N-D. So, by gunsandammo.com has a number of items in inventory, but most notably they have this SADU. That is the military NATO style 223 from Romania, available anywhere from $0.35 to $0.38 per round depending on whether you have it shipped and all that kind of good stuff. They have posted Some letters that they say are from customers, I have no reason to believe otherwise, praising the perceived quality of this material. And it is the 62 grain stuff, which is the good stuff, in my opinion. And usually not available at a particularly desirable price. Usually the best you can do is around $0.40 around and for the 55 grain. So 35 to 38 depending on your shipping cost for the 62 grain is an excellent option. This is brass, boxer primed, all that kind of good stuff. So Western Standard NATO 62 grain available apparently in quantity from 5gunsandammo.com. I guess not. Okay. GRAFTS also is advertising some specials. The ones that are particularly notable, take a look at GRAFTS.com. One of the things that they are advertising is a broad spectrum sale on ProMag. They have a lot of ProMag items that are on sale. Now, graphs sales tend to be fairly mild on the price front. Ten or maybe, if you're really, really lucky, 15% off. They do not cut things very heavily, but they are very good about their inventory. Their inventory is live. If they say they have 14 or something and you order two, then you refresh the page and it will say they have 12. So they maintain their inventories. very well integrated system. So that is a benefit of dealing with these guys. If you see it on the site, they do have it. They are advertising 30 M1 carbine, for instance, a ProMag version at $15 a piece. That's a 30 round. They have AK X39 and 223 variants. at around $11. They have the AR mags and so on and so forth. So if you are looking for additional mags to flush out your inventory and ProMag makes what you're interested in, you may find it on a mild sale price right now and more importantly with reliable quotations of inventory levels at graphs. G-R-A-F-S-A-R-A-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S One of the other things I've noticed, and in fact I would question if they have the 308 AR-10 magazines in stock. One of the things there seems to be for whatever reason be. I believe I saw those. That's something that seems to be showing up in a wave and one of the good things, guys, the aluminum AR-10 receivers, Ares has them, Joe Bob Outfitters, a couple of the other different companies have either the complete or the 80% aluminum. But they're out there and right now the mag seem to be showing up reasonably priced. the bolts and most of the other parts. The only thing I haven't seen is a really great price on say a complete upper barrel but without the bolt. Typically you can get a better price on it that way obviously. The bolts are being run separate. Even many of the secondary components in specific AR-10 dimension are available. So right now you could piece by piece put an AR-10 and 308 together guys for a pretty reasonable price. And again, AR-10s are pricier than a 223. They always have been. That hasn't changed. Except back when the kits came in from the Philippines and from Holland. For a little while, the kits were $210 with everything. All you had to do was find a semi-auto AR-10 receiver and three or four companies made them and we put them all together. But since then, they've been pricier. But this still makes them the most affordable. The nickel boron bolts are coming in through AIM. The bolts by themselves are being carried in the AR-10 in a couple of different venues, different companies. Now the mags, the more you can get, the better off you are, and it's a great way to put a .308 rifle together. It's the fourth odd man out. Maybe the fifth because you don't see as many AR-10s. However, the people that have put them together have gotten very serious with them and they are a nice rifle. And C-Mag has been cranking out mags for the most recently. Good enough for basic work. Again, remember to buy the cheaper mags for range work and then buy more battle mags or whatever manufacturer you want if you find a flavor you like more for whatever other work you're going to do. It's just that simple, but the C-Mags work fine. I have had several people who have bought the AR-10 C-Mags. They don't have any problem with them at all. Pretty much everything else they build is to standard mid-grade. They don't do anything fancy, but they also pretty much don't get air too shoddy. They're a step up, way up from the stuff that was made at the very end of the intro for the mag band back in the 90s. A lot of stuff was made fast and always had to be tweaked. C-Mag has been doing a pretty good job of at least trying to maintain some kind of standard. So see what happens if the prices seem to offer a little better bite. You get more for the money. Take advantage of that where you can. Go ahead, BK, please. Yeah, looking at their site, ProMag, DPMS, SR25, 308 Winchester, 20-round mag. I think that's the AR10. variant. They have some stuff from Promag that surprises me. I did not realize that Promag made Enfield Mark II magazines, Caltech 9mm Glock Compatibles and so on. It looks like Promag makes more stuff than I thought they did. Perhaps that's part of the purpose of a sale of this sort. They're raising the profile of the line and getting the attention. of people like me who have not been paying as much attention perhaps as we should to realize that these guys produce more stuff than I had previously realized. Well, an interesting thing too now. What about, they had mags, any other parts, pieces or assemblies in the sale for the weekend? CDNN has had nothing much of anything on sale. Centerfire has been very limited. Of course, Centerfire is probably trying to save up their inventory because I will remind everybody, Centerfire will be at Knob Creek. They always are. And last time they were thin. And that's, you know, again, a fact guys. Most everybody go into the gun show. I'm not seeing very optics, but I am seeing some things like optic mounts. The adapters for an AR carry handle for instance to a rail, those are listed and so on. Remember, as usual, graphs sales are not very aggressive on price. They think 10 or 15% is a big deal. But it does raise the profile of some of these items. So take a look at graphs, hit the sale item link, see what they've got, see if that's something you need. But they do seem to have inventory of a bunch of these things and there is a slight sale offering going on right now on the Promag line. There's some other stuff on sale too, but that's the one that really jumped out at me. Very good. Another thing there, guys, if you're going to do the Other weapons systems, because we've mentioned a few actually, the Kel-Tec have some odds and ends designs that do have their own magazines. Check with them to see, well actually what you do is, if you're thinking about buying them and you actually have put your heart on it anyway, you've set your sights on it and your heart's determined, it's going there. Well, if you're going to sail that ship, you better find out more about mag pouches and carrying systems. A lot of times, if it's a specialized unit, You're going to want to try and mate it up with something else in the system. You want to find something that's going to work properly. You don't want to be fishing into a mag pouch to try and get something out. And that's where we find you dead with your hands stuck in your fingers, squeezing down into the bottom of a mag pouch, trying to get something that just didn't work for you. For that reason, Caltech makes some really cool designs. They've got some really innovative engineers, and they build it right so it actually works. A lot of people have made unique stuff over the years, but that doesn't mean that it works. It looks cool, but it doesn't necessarily function properly every time, even out of the box. Kel-Tec has been very careful about this and they've introduced a whole line of weapons that are quite desirable and fit particular niches. They've got a bullpup forward ejecting .308 sniper rifle that is very, very competent. Needless to say, their SU-16 family of rifles can give the Mini-14 and the AR-15 a good run for their money across the board and are not outrageously priced, although what's happened is they've become popular and they've gone into the exotic with the SU-16. I just recommend the basic model they produced because it was designed to be a fold-away backpack gun or an aircraft gun. and it's out of the way but when you grab it it has 60 rounds on the rifle if you got a 30 round mag in the magazine well and there's a station for either two 10 rounders or a 30 round air 15 mag in the buttstock that's just like the old M1 carbine and what made it popular if you grab the gun you had so many rounds of ammunition on the weapon right from the get-go that you knew you could count on even if you were bare naked out of the shower are there any guys that made that oddball shotgun with the dual magazine tube? The one that works. There's two. The other one looks neat, but they went with too many slots and cut points and they reversed the magazine system. One goes above, one goes below. Well, the Kel-Tec model, everybody has tested it works. The other one, under ideal conditions, not in the field, it probably would be okay as an office zip gun for defense. But the Kel-Tec gun, everybody that's got one, a couple of three guys have them here that I know of. One of them is with the doctor, the militia unit here down the road that is the doctor group. They bought one of those and they like it, it's just that there's other guns that are cheaper, but for the size of the weapon, it's a lot of fire power and it will work with the short shells. as far as the ones they've tested. They've went with the Aguila short shells, so you're looking at a whole lot of firepower, you know, nice tight little package. So that was a cool idea too. They also have several light car beams, they've got several pistols. They found a niche in the pocket pistol category especially where they've made some really desirable small weapons that have, you know, a good bite to them again, but they're ergonomically designed so they don't bite you. A lot of the earlier weapons that were smaller, typically again, to get your paw around them, well, you got to get used to the idea that every once in a while you're going to get a little chunk taken out of that anal between the index and the thumb. You know, that piece of meat back there, get a few battle scars. Well, Celtic pistols don't have that problem. And it's a really nice feature. Again, they thought the design through. They've worked with their design before they've gone to the molds. When they come up with a final product, all of them are very comfortable to shoot. We are very manageable for especially young people and older people. That sort of stuff matters more on the range. In an emergency, my inclination is that I will sacrifice a little bit of that flesh between the finger and thumb if I absolutely have to. For a trip out on the range, I would rather not. I have requested bottom of the hour music. I don't know whether Ed is ready for that. We'll keep going until he hits the floor. Well, let's remind Ed we've got music at the bottom of the hour first of all. Also, real quick let me put this out then too. For our friends listening, remember if you would like to donate, I know we've asked everybody to pitch in with a micro effect. If you would like to donate to Liberty Tree Radio, go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com or you can send a letter to PBN. We'll be back. like that one. People who have heard me play that or heard Ed play that for me a few weeks ago have a pretty good idea of the topic that we're warming up to. I have reminded people of the existence of a project that ran a few years ago called Operation Falcon. This was a Fed operation, an exercise that they ran several times and then stopped. I think they stopped it because they got it right or got it to their satisfaction. What they did was they piled up a whole bunch of piddling little warrants that they had for various odds and ends, parole violations, this, that, and the other thing. stacked them up, did not collect those people for several weeks until they had some thousands of warrants all across the country accumulated. Then they did their little Operation Falcon procedure. What they did was they deputized every warm body they could find, local cops, state cops, you name it, made them all federal deputies for the night. and then they ran this exercise in which they sent out thousands, towards the end I think it was something close to 20,000 grab teams to snatch these people out of their homes all in the period of a few hours. was billed, of course, dishonestly. Everything the feds say nowadays seems to be somehow dishonest. They were saying, oh well, this is a demonstration to put fear into the hearts of evildoers everywhere, blah, blah, blah. But the fact of the matter is that there were very, very few serious warrants. It was all Mickey Mouse stuff. The point of the exercise, in my opinion, was a data processing exercise. It was coordinating, shaking down procedures and software to organize a long enemies list of people that were easy targets, known locations, known identities, and coordinate the task of sending out thousands of people simultaneously to hit them all at once in a great big night of the long knives type operation. They did it several years running until they just stopped. inexplicably for presumably no reason. I think they stopped because they got it shaken down to the point that they were satisfied with it. The reason for this sort of exercise has nothing to do with this sort of we're going to strike fear into the hearts of all the evildoers, blah, blah, blah. What this is all about is practicing for a first strike against the U.S. civilian population. This is intended to be the initial shock and awe, etc. strike against the imagined resistance among the population, God only knows what they are planning to pull in Washington. Their fantasy is that if they knock out 20,000 or 30,000 or 50,000 of the crankiest, most likely to resist individuals, the rest will all be stunned and shocked and easily cowed. If it works for them, I think there will be a certain degree of success in that tactic. the reaction will be one of rage. There won't be anybody in America that didn't lose some family member to a raid of this sort. I think they will have opened a can of duty that they don't imagine, but it is likely that they will try it. Certainly they have planned to try this. Now, what do you do to counter an offensive first strike of this sort? Well, the first and most important thing is to spread the word so people have the concept that it's not something that comes completely out of the blue. They have a clue what might be pulled. That's one of the things we're doing right now, this moment, telling people about it. The other things you might do? Think about this. If somebody is staging a hasty assault of this sort, and that's what this is, it is a hasty assault. It is not planned long in advance against a single target. This is not a Branch Davidian raid where they have a year to prepare. This is quick and dirty, they send. Two or three or half dozen guys against each target. They give them the address, they may give them Google Maps photos and things of this sort, but they are not going to have a lot of preparation time. They are going to wing it, they are going to use standard operating procedures, they are going to go in with the techniques and procedures they are accustomed to that they have been taught in the past. There are a number of write-ups. You can see things on YouTube about their standard procedure. You've all seen little bits and clips. Some of the television programs, the fiction programs, have done a reasonable job of portraying the operating procedures. These guys stack up in front of a door. They smash in the door. They go swarming in. Mark likes to insert the audio, sound effects, ha ha ha ha. Shooting in the idea is to swarm in there so rapidly that they overwhelm by surprise and massive fire power their victims or targets or whatever you want to call them. If we know what they're likely to do, We can do a lot of things to make that less effective. Some of them are very simple. For instance, you might choose as a standard operating procedure when you are retiring at night, just grab an armchair and tug it around and pull it into a hallway. So that anybody that comes tearing down that hallway goes around a corner and goes tail over, teakettle over this armchair. When you get up in the morning you just push it back out into the family room. Or you might do the same sort of thing with a heavy potted plant or something along those lines. There are alarm systems that are not expensive and not intrusive and not difficult to install. For instance, these little wireless drive away alert sensors do not have terrific sensitivity or terrific range. But they are also inexpensive and you can sprinkle them all over the place in an overlapping field. So if somebody spots one and goes to tamper with it, a different one picks them up, that thing warbling away in the middle of the night, you know, bounce you out of the sack and give you an extra 15 or 20 seconds of warning. There are products sold to the people in New York City who are desperately in need of defenses from assault and barred from the sensible weaponry-based defenses. Therefore, people have come up with all sorts of stuff up to and including insanely heavy doors with half dozen locks and so on. That's pretty ridiculous. There are some products that are less obtrusive, not terribly expensive and are effective. One of them is a toggle bolt that installs in the floor just inside a door. When you're hitting the sack, you press on this with your toe and the thing hinges up and the door will not open more than a couple of three inches. because the toggle bolt is in the way. When you want it to be clear, you just reach over with your toe and step on the thing and it snaps down flush with the floor and is unobtrusive. The measures that are easy to do and convenient to do are the ones that are most likely to become part of your routine. There are web pages talking about, well, you can sink a chunk of pipe into the floor and the ceiling and insert a steel bar and all this kind of good stuff. That's true. But it takes a fair amount of doing. You're more likely to actually use a mechanism like that when it has hit the fan and the whole household has reorganized itself to be a little bit more of a fortress mentality. In normal day-to-day life where we are now until such time as they pull something and toggle us over, It's important to pay attention to the things that are less extreme. One of the products you can get if you're willing to spend a few hundred dollars, there are storm doors, for instance, that are available. Simple glass, ordinary storm doors, but made out of quarter inch thick tempered glass. They may yield to one of these sewer pipe concrete filled battering rams. But that's raising the bar considerably. I don't know whether there are 50,000 of those battering rams deployed among various cop shops and so on in the US. But even if those do work, it's going to take two or three hits to smash your way through that. storm door and then you get to start working on the main door. What they'd like to do is to hit it, smash it, blow it open in one whack and come swarming in. If an assault force starts hitting your door and it takes two or three whacks to get through each of two layers, that extra 10 or 15 seconds can make all of the difference. If you pop up out of the sack and you have time and Mrs. Scoots over into the kids room, secures the door, gets them down and Daddy has time to grab the 12 gauge or the AR and move to his ready position, then that is a game changer. If you look at the arrangement of your house, Some houses have a simple flat front surface with a door in it. There are not a lot of tactical options there. Some of them are more L-shaped, so anybody in front of the front door is parallel to a side wall. Well, if you're willing to do a little bit of work, you can maybe make some of these walls highly resistant to fire, as in, you know, rifle fire, but perhaps have a soft spot in them. So the person who knows what he's doing knows that firing at this point in the wall is going to draw a line that intersects with anybody crouching in front of the front door, etc. So you have a home ground advantage. If you spend some time thinking about it, looking at your situation, figuring out the geometries involved, you may be able to improve that home ground advantage. We could suggest other notions, but the general concept is you live here. You know, to steal a line from the original red dawn, what's the difference between them and us? We live here. Well, we live here and we have time to think about these things. You do not necessarily have to spend a ton of money if you are smart and efficient in your thought patterns. There are a lot of things you can do. One of the simplest things, I once for instance lived in an apartment that was the designated handicap apartment. I suppose there was some sort of subsidy or regulation that required one of them to be set up to be particularly comfortable for wheelchair folk. I just happened to get that apartment because that just happened to be the one that was empty when I went looking. But the main feature of that apartment that was different from others was that the front door swung out, not in. Well, if you think about it, a door that swings out is one heck of a lot more resistant to being kicked in than one that swings in that's relying entirely on the strength of the lock bolt and so on to resist assault. If you use a concealed hinge style on your door, it may not be immediately obvious to somebody running up to it and trying to force their way in that this is in fact a door that swings out. If you need an excuse for rehanging your door, you just say, well, you know, my cousin Gertrude is in a wheelchair and she might visit, so we want to make the place suitable for her visits. You know, something along those lines, you can use the handicap line, but a door which swings out is tremendously more resistant to this sort of stuff. you might position large planters that are full of gravel instead of dirt, for instance. There's a lot of things you could do without making the place into a medieval fortress or making it obviously and visibly prepared to receive hostels. So this is the This is the idea that I want to plant into people's heads. If you start now, if you look around, if you think, what can I do? How would I assault this place? What would be the things that would mess me up the most if I were doing it? Then what are the ones that are convenient enough that the people living here will cooperate with them? and implement some of those measures, you may be able to tip the balance tremendously. You may be able to repel a hostile invasion. It may very well be that you only need to do this once or maybe twice. If they hit you once, fall back in poor order and then come back another night and find that you're not there because you happen to be sofa surfing across the street with the neighbors. That could be a problem for them when they go rampaging through the house, come out with arms full of booty and start falling over because of airborne metallic particles as they are exiting the scene. That might be an unpleasant thing for them. There are a lot of possibilities. Resisting the first raid is the most important. The trip of a thousand miles, they say, begins with a single step. Well, surviving the long haul begins with surviving the first night. It is entirely possible that the first night will consist of a terror raid initiated by the bad guys. Certainly they have done dress rehearsals for them and we should take appropriate notice of that dress rehearsal and think about what our response to that should be. Comments? No, exactly. The most important thing, remember the Huttari situation and how it developed, guys. The only problem with the one individual who was not acquired immediately, although there were other issues, they were trying to attack more than just the Huttari group. They realized very quick that they had to roll the tent up because things didn't work the way they expected. People started to get the word out. Everybody mobilized accordingly. The most common thing is to get the message out but not continue to stay, don't stay in constant signal communications if you're one of the targets. Get the word out in a burst transmission. We've talked about this before, be precise, be concise, get off the line. If you're in a situation where you're one of those people that's being hunted, the objective is to get the flare up and then continue to move away from the objective, the area of contact. minutes, seconds and minutes count. Remember that while they're busy buzzing down the road and calling in for more help because things aren't working right, every mile that you put away from the epicenter means there's that many more square miles that the bad guys have to try to calculate to control. Well, the world changes completely when that happens. Or just managing to get 100 yards away from the epicenter may change things to the point that suddenly you're facing their rear instead of them facing you in the back. Exactly. That's one of the things about redeploying material in areas. We were talking earlier about the idea of the less expensive handguns. I've discussed this for years. having caches of weapons that are very close or reasonably close and aren't your front line but are good enough to keep you alive not the fanciest but serviceable there's been a lot of stuff that's been offered in the last several years here those nagat revolvers are probably the best example they are a deadly firearm that the nagat revolver is comparable to the Tokarev in terms of armor penetration Is it a big volume fire weapon? Hell no, it's the idea I walk up, put a bullet to the back of somebody's head that thinks he's going to try to kill me and damage my family or kill everybody. Well, he's dead first. The idea is put him down, now you've got more material. Immediately strip and move on. The other thing too, I want to bring this up, is edged weapons. Don't discount edged weapons. If you can't afford to buy anything, I'm going to tell you something right now. There's a bunch of hockey stick handles. This time of year they get tossed out. Guys, you cut down a hockey stick handle to three pieces. You put yourself a nice piece of crossbar steel on that and sharpen it. And you have yourself a poor man's tomahawk that is a spike driver. You can also make an eagle claw, but a double blade is your best choice. In fact, little mini battle axes slash double-edged tomahawks are not a bad solution. I'm going to actually have a video on this because I've been kind of wealthy on that this year, falling into a lot of hockey junk for free. Well, one of the things I got is a whole bunch of these fiber-force sticks. And guys, these things are designed to beat the snot out of each other and not break. If you cut them down, drill a few holes, take two pieces of metal, run them parallel, and then bring them together if you want to and weld them. Or, in other words, like a hollow head axe handle, basically. Or leave them for a blade. The idea is you're going to chop and cleave and leave. In other words, it's me. If it gets stuck in their skull, it gets stuck in their skull. It did its job. But close in, quarter, silencing weapons, that's one of the things you need to remember. The idea behind it is to hack and chop or slit or destroy their potential to do any damage to you. Now congratulations, you have a boom toy. The other reason, you might just want to use a quiet weapon because so far they don't have a clue about what's happening yet. You do. In other words, the world has changed. You actually aren't caught unawares, but you may have been caught in the wrong place at the right time in a situation on the property. So more weapons are better. They're just handy. The other thing about this too with ammunition... And magazines, we talked about having a ready pack, in other words, so many mags or so many rounds ready with a gun, if it's a single shot or if it's a revolver, speed loaders if you can, or at least separate the ammunition so that it's kind of compartmentalized, it's modular. A little bandolier system like you see, if you look at the old survival pistols that the Air Force used to issue out, you'll notice that the middle war models in World War II had like a little band with six rounds on the holster. but a lot of the guys carried what were built by guys on the ships. Typically on the aircraft carrier there were leather smiths and they built additional little bandolier strips of six rounds each that would hang on the leather strap that went over your shoulder. This gave you more ammunition. Every time you put it over your shoulder and wore the rig, you always had a certain amount of ammunition and it was incremental. You knew that you needed those six rounds to go in the cylinder because you just emptied it. And it was a way for you to mentally keep track of things without having to think. Because when you're in a panic or in a distress situation, the holes get really small, the bullets get really big. Also, you lose track of stuff. So the idea is to create mechanisms that regiment your brain. to allow you to focus on the problem. Body armor is another thing. I've mentioned this. Joe McNeil, by the way, needs body armor. He hasn't mentioned anything about it, but I know the situation. It would be good to have some armor up there on the rock if anybody can donate anything. One of the best places I found for inexpensive body armor recently, the German Pazgat slash the German Flecktarn Vess, $35 apiece if you buy three at a time. Body armor is a good thing. At the very least, like you're saying, if you have to un-arsen-a-o and you're moving cross country or out of a prop, throw a piece of property. It's amazing what just bumping into the wrong thing will do with your body that can put a nasty, leaky hole in or take the wind right out of you. Body armor absorbs most of the energy, guys. I've lived in body armor. When I was speaking around the country, most people don't even realize I was wearing armor most everywhere we went. Traveling in it, sleeping in it, undercover vests, different types of equipment that we built. If you saw my leather coat, understand my leather coat is very unique. And it's designed to stop a few more things and it was in fact improved and we designed stuff so that it would blend in because it would hang. It wouldn't stick out or bulge out or bump up or anything. Armor is a good thing in any way. In fact, even if it's just football armor, to be quite honest, padding. A lot of people make mistakes in the dark and confusion is going to rain in a situation. The objective like BK said, you want to get sideways. You also want to be cognizant. The last thing you want is to wring your gourd on something where, whoa, I'm kind of dizzy. Yeah, that's good. The last thing I felt was the handcuffs. You know what I mean? That's what you don't want to have happen. So just in steps as you progressively build into it. Kind of like what the song says. Pay attention. That was done for, by the way, that was in Kill Bill. That wasn't that the credits song? Yes, that was close credit. What's interesting is if you go down the battery, pay attention to what she's saying. Everywhere she reaches, the money is on the nightstand. Why is the money on the nightstand? Because she's got her guns already and she's got blades everywhere and she's going to grab the money on the nightstand and on RCAO and her guns are in her hands, kids. Basically, which is explaining it as you're ready for anything. And that's what we're talking about here in this situation. The one thing that tells me that something is cooking, the comments BK here the last couple of days about Southern Poverty Law and also about the ADL, that the FBI is peeling them off. I want to say something before we go on that. Remember the IRS is reducing their visibility and their clicking contact. Remember that the whole Operation Falcon concept was strike by surprise. What they are trying to create is the illusion that somehow the bad guys are backing off. I know that all of you are smart enough to understand that they are not backing off. Okay guys, the whole thing is based on surprise, but what if we're not surprised? Oh, bummer for the other side, isn't it? Well, we are at the top. BK, 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. Hoorah. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. And we'll be back guys remember quartermaster Friday's over for us But not for you gun shows and ham fest all this weekend take advantage of them knob Creek two weeks out. Bye. Bye As you go
