Mark Koernke discussed the Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada, where cell phone and digital communications had been disrupted. He emphasized the need for alternate communications infrastructure, specifically 800 MHz Yagi antennas to bypass the communication blackout, and urged listeners to support those on-site with food supplies (rice, beans, canned goods), batteries, and other essentials. The show covered quartermaster preparedness topics including food storage strategies, produce supply chain disruptions affecting prices, ammunition purchasing before potential executive order restrictions, and tactical gear procurement from various suppliers. BK provided detailed product recommendations for batteries, rain gear, ammunition, gas masks, and freeze-dried food from specific retailers.

And we knew that, you know. Yeah, well... Hey, Hall. You know, he's got it in. The time he gets on my own network starts telling me I'm not doing enough. Well, this guy doesn't know anything about me. Hey Joe, before you continue on I gotta ask my dad something. Dad, do you want to do the intelligence report or do you just want to run with this? I'll tell you what, you guys are running with it as it is. I better go over and do the intel report. Well, if that's the case I gotta disconnect Liberty Tree radio so if anybody wants to continue on with Joe on this conference. Joe, can you give out the number for the conference line please so everybody else who still wants to participate can follow over to your conference line? Oh yeah. Okay, for those of you who would like to call into the conference live, Simply dial 559-726-130 once again 559-726-1300 Your PIN number would be 76 again PIN number 6 And before I go, Joe, something I haven't been able to find on your website, but it would be like probably a boon for people helping you find sponsors. I've got on Liberty Tree Radio a page called sponsors, and it has the information on our two basic sponsorship packages, which are relatively cheap compared to everybody else, but we're a lot smaller than a lot of people, so keep that in mind. You need something like that that way if I'm looking for a sponsor for you I can send them over to your website to that page and they can take a look at what your your packages offer like the different banner sizes you need to know the specifics for that that's like what I did on our banner page when you go to our sponsor page it'll tell you the two different size banners that we need for our advertisers and what we charge for an on-air vocal ad as well. is right there so guys you know you think we're making a lot of money take a look at what we're actually charging over there we're not making that much with liberty to radio at all or something or i'll be back if i can keep you what you're doing guys okay uh... by the way the information we have or at least several different uh... reports now are stating that the uh... cell phones and also digital stream of been cut off around the uh... ranch Now, I'm going to remind everybody of something. Please pass this message on. Yagi 800 Meg Antennas. They were built for this situation, guys. Yagi 800. They're very small. They're only 18 inches long. They're directional. You fit them onto a pole. You got a plate down below. What you do is you adjust them and target beyond the horizon tower. This is something we had to do years ago because cell towers, they weren't everywhere. and a yaggy is so simple it's ridiculous one of our friends is listening I gotta get on the air because I gotta repeat this over on the regular programming he'll get out and get hold of him from California he builds them there but guys this is why I said before alternate communications how many times did I say that every day for the last what you know couple of weeks well actually I've always said it but it's just This is why when you go in you have to take it seriously from the get-go. You don't wait until the stuff's cut off. You need to have it set up before they cut it off. HempUSA.org urges everyone to plan ahead for possible food shortages in the future.

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. The 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 vie 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 and people, 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 trampled 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? This is the land of the free. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intel report. I'm Mark Herkey. And Butter Knife. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west central east and west. Well ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com. We're on alternate hallmark and golden spike technologies. Today's 8BK is It is 11 April 2014. It is Friday evening. This is the last hour of the day and of the week for the Intelligence Report and that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. It has been an interesting one here. The weather has been quite warm today. I started out with the usual chemtrail gray everywhere, but apparently we must have blown that to the east because we actually got a little bit of blue skies today towards the end of the day, which is kind of novel for a change. I've been getting calls from customers left and right. I think that the three-day thunderstorm that we had last week rotted out some of the telephone system. All these people are calling me, BK, my internet is down. What do I do? My computer is not getting on and so on and so forth. Then I get a call back an hour or two later saying, well, the telephone company called me and they're working on the line. I would say that all of that water probably dried out and the wet dry cycle finally did in some of that ratty, rotted, corroded old connections here and there and the telephone company is running around applying band-aids. So it's interesting that it can take a week for some of these flaws to show up, but that seems to be the case. Again, we've had really nice spring weather here. It's been perfect. We're probably going to get a little moisture tonight. Had a little hazy cloud cover move in, but it's been in waves, that classic hurricane look wave effect we get over the Great Lakes during the different seasons, and this is one of them. So we had blue, and then for a little bit here, when I started the programming for the later part of the two-hour block, you could see this perfect line wave go over us and sweep over. If you look at the satellite, it looks like we had a hurricane over top of us. Now it's not that bad. Mostly blue, more blue than clouds guys. But it's part of that good old spring weather where you can fly kites. So we're going to get pulsing like this expected. But the really pretty weather has been perfect to work outside. Got a lot done. Mostly in little project areas where it's just stuff you couldn't do until you weren't getting rained on but it has to be done now because we're getting into the growing stage. Stuff is popping up everywhere and we've got to be ready to produce food. It is Quartermaster Friday. I will give a heads up to everybody. There are several reports on YouTube. There are a number of different flash reports up on different pages right now. The apparently cell phone and digital computer outbound or inbound through or around the Bundy farm is off. Now there's two arguments. One was, of course, to try and make an explanation and that, well, they may just be overloaded. Well, somebody would get out. And the problem is that so far it appears nobody's getting out. One of the solutions, and I'm doing this, the reason we're doing this hour is specifically one of the several, obviously the usual, but for our friends out there listening in California, we need YAGI 800-MEG antennas made available to the site. For our friends in California, we need 800-MEG YAGI antennas made available to the site. I know that the individual listening has a number of these built because he sells them. These are the old school 800 meg cell YAGGs. They're not very big, but what they'll do is shoot beyond the horizon, guys. I used this effectively during the escape and evasion phase when we were doing Gorilla Broadcasting while they were looking for me years ago. We used them to jump two and three counties. So the cell phone broadcaster was using a sterile cell phone and I had a number of them. The cell phone would only be used once or twice. It would actually be shuffled like in a deck. But after its second use, if we decided to use it a second time, it would only be used for short transmission and then it would be offline and put into the neutral pile. The 800 megayag antennas are very small. This is not a big array like you see with beams for a CB, although beams are a yagi antenna also. In this case we're looking at only 18 inches long. The times, the perpendicular times are only about 4.5 to 5 inches, depending on where they are on the array. And it's a very lightweight antenna. However, it will again focus 96% of the signal towards a target which means that what you do is you find a piece of real estate, you point along the horizon and watch your bar system and when you get a zip of any kind, you're going to put almost 100% of the signal on target. That means that you can reach farther and you're going to get a little more bar strength there across the board. In other words, signal strength. But we need some delivered into the AO anyway. Number two, how many times did we talk about alternate radio, alternate radio, alternate radio? And I know we've had people that have been there. At the very least, anybody who can get through to anybody there, where the hell are your CB radios? Come on, you can't tell me that old ranch ain't got some CB radios sitting on it. So everybody better be breaking out the CBs, breaking out all the alternate tech, because you need to be working as many different venues as possible. The big thing is that while they may isolate or bubble that area, I guarantee that out to the horizon, there's a target that can be hit. Now, the other part about this is obvious. You don't share that with everybody that's around on the site because you may mutually broadcast out because if you've got several different people with their own media in the internet, yes, you want them to get a message to their page because it helps to let people know what's happening on your site. But, remember that the biggest priority with the first one is for emergency signal communications to be able to ID problems on the ground. Ergo, they're attacking. So, the first YAGI would be put into service mode for emergency signal communications. It would still do a handshake and you could do outbound calls with the understanding that in the event there's a problem, you cut all communications with regard to interlinking or internet activity and you switch to emergency signal mode. This is especially critical right now. Again, it has been typically with any deployment like this. If there are any friendly mobile ham operators, and most of them, it's like our people here, we trailer and actually vehicle mount everything, guys. There's gotta be somebody out there, especially in the remote areas like that, because that's why most people get into radio, because they're in remote areas. So somebody being able to hook up with shortwave in whatever area of interest, They need to step in now if they haven't already, but they also need something on the site inside the defense perimeter, if there is a defense perimeter. Okay, I guess. Well, within the polo shirt perimeter, there we go, within the polo shirt perimeter. As we understand, hopefully that's not really the situation right now. There actually are people that are serious about defending the place, but Again, this is part of that prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance where they're three quarters of the way across the country. We can't reach through the telephone or reach through the radio and tell them, you know, make them do anything. But this with all the extra hands that they have had, the CB radio should have already been hooked up. Alternate radios should have already been in place. Some form of shortwave should have already been on site. That's just me and let's not forget CB bass radios with linears which also would make a big difference Anyway enough on that a heads up. I want to make sure I got this out for our friends in California We need to see a number of 800 meg Yagi antennas along with the rest of the connectors and the support It's not complicated, very simple systems guys, but we need to get them down there, need to get a set, at least a couple of them down there right away. That means that somebody's got to drive them through, somebody's got to drive them through. Central California's not that far away. It's no worse than driving across Michigan from top to bottom the way we do. Anyway, BK, this is Quartermaster Friday, what have you got for us, please? I'd be inclined to the opinion that service has not actually been shut down in that area. What probably happened is that the FIBS waived their badges and the providers in that area told their towers to respond only to phones with a special spook flag as part of their ID so that chances are those towers are active and operating. It's just that you're not allowed to use them. It's only, as it's all been reserved for the special puppies. So it would of course be naughty to make noise in the band that the special puppies are likely using. I would encourage nobody to do that. Nobody should be in the water if they said that you can't use the water, we can only use the water. It would be naughty to do a thing like that. A second thought is that relying directly off of already deployed consumer technology, there are retail consumer satellite services peddled by both DISH and Direct TV. If you have a receiver that's already subscribed and have an account going, chances are you can move the equipment from one place to another and continue to use your account and connect into the satellite and get straight up internet connection from almost anywhere. As long as you're looking at the right satellite, I'm sure they have footprints, but if you have a DISH or DIRECTV internet, of the target zone, then chances are if you move 50 or 100 miles and set up your dish on a tripod pointing at the same satellite, you would probably continue to have your service. Just a thought. Well, absolutely. One of the things here, too, is again, for everybody out there that's listening, We need the brainstormers working on the signal communications end of the business. I will reinforce again something we said before for those who are going on to the site out there with the Bundy Ranch. two bags, one 25 pound bag of rice, one 25 pound bag of beans, two cases, six cans per case, number 10 size cans of whatever you want, cheapest for the mostest. We've got a place here that has beets for a dollar, a number 10 can. Can't beat the price, no name brand, their Michigan canned, which is kind of rare actually nowadays. and a dollar a can. They're at one of the resale stores here and whatever they're gone, they're gone. It's one of those things where they just happen to have it on hand. Nancy caught them yesterday. Now, whatever it is, remember when you put hundreds of people up to a table to eat, pounds of food don't last very long. I cannot emphasize. This is what we talk about with Quartermaster Friday. Guys, Everybody going in, take food with you. Now understand if you leave, well Mark, I'm only going to be there for two or three days. You take the food in as part of the opportunity to support the troops on the ground knowing that you're going to leave it there when you're done. This is a way that everybody can support. And again, notice I didn't give you a name brand for the rice or the beans. The cheapest beans you can buy, you know, dry beans, the cheapest rice you can buy. The idea is to have volume. Remember, you're going to leave it. It's the job of the cooks, the people who are creative on the ground, on site, to do the volume cooking. That's not your job. The idea is that everybody pitches in and we flood the material into the combat area while we still can. If things escalate, then we have the strategic reserve, actually the tactical reserve on the ground where it's needed for the core personnel. Now, though whoever is stuck inside an encirclement or inside a stand off, they're there. That's it. Now, people may still be able to infiltrate or exfiltrate. That's a matter of creativity. But most important is that we think ahead and we work now. We don't hesitate, don't wait. One of the things real quick is while you're going into batteries, batteries, batteries, here at our dollar stores we have eight Sylvania AA or 8 Sylvania AAA batteries China Sport junk, but they are 8 batteries nonetheless for a dollar. If you're going to go in, take $5, at the very least buy 5 packs of batteries, leave them there. Again, batteries are a perishable just like ammunition, just like food, just like toilet paper. Okay, you want to do that? You can do them a favor. If you have a commercial cleaning supply company nearby. Guys, you can buy cases of that almost good enough to be writing paper, toilet paper, you know, the stuff that isn't sharp and soft. You get more for the volume of space that the paper occupies. That's more important than pretty or soft, okay? So, just something to think about there, that somebody pulling in a few cases of toilet paper wouldn't be a bad thing. It doesn't mean you can't scrub your arse with sand. Trust me, there'll be people doing that anyway. Okay? But it's the idea that if we think ahead, everybody doing their part, maybe somebody listening has a, like we do here, we've got a U of M property disposal. Guys, we buy stuff like that, like cases of paper towels for a dollar. They're the brown paper towels, they're solid rolls with a dowel the size of your thumb in the middle, and they're dense packed, but they're the old style for the last model of paper towel roller they were using. They don't use it with a new one that somebody bribed them to buy. So you get stuff like that if you look around. Well, that's good enough for what we're using stuff for out there, if you know what you get stuff to the troops. Again, most for the least is how you need to think about this. Most for the least. Doesn't have to be pretty, doesn't have to be named brand. The big thing is that we get quantity in place. Some people are going to buy Perti, and some people are going to buy the upper end. It's the way they're conditioned. More important is that we're able to feed the troops day after day and keep everybody in place and minimize motion. That's really the most important thing. Go ahead, callers, jump in there, please. You're very quiet, or we just got background noise. I don't know which. Hello? You're very tinny for something very quiet, but go ahead. We can barely hear you. Yeah, I'm driving my truck off from Florida. Boiled peanuts, $25. Is that a... Let's see, I would say that that's probably on the order of about 40 pounds of carbohydrates at $25. That's not bad. I'd say that that's not a stunning bargain, but it's not a bad everyday price and would serve as a portion of one's props. Yeah. It's a good change-up item. Well, you'll get different fats and different proteins, so it's a good idea to have a mix. I can say the produce prices are going to be going skyrocketing pretty soon too. A lot of the freight that's coming in from Guatemala and coming down into Florida is coming up spoiled or way too ripe. So it's causing a ruckus in the produce industry. So just to let you guys know. That's interesting. Have you heard any reason for that? Basically there's between, there's too much water, there's too much flooding going on down in South America or Guatemala and the product not getting from A to B faster, fast enough and it's not clearing customs properly or you know. They're sitting on the dock too long in Miami. Yeah, I had the same problem. I picked up down there and the produce is sitting too damn long. They're taking too long to offload. Yeah, there's a place down there called Soul Group and they deal with like 90% of all that crap that's coming in and they just got reefers all over there that got product in there that are just sitting in the sun baking. Yep. That's the kind of input that we need guys because that's going to change the dynamic with regard to food prices The inventory is not going to get to where it needs to be What I like to say if anybody's in the Northeast area Go go up to Boston up to the Chelsea markets at around 2 o'clock You could go in there and buy a case like 20 bucks You get like five watermelons for like maybe 15 bucks. You could go in there and buy massive amounts of mangoes and pineapples and case quantities, you know, for like 20 bucks a pop or the guy will give you a deal. And then you could go freeze dryer or a food dehydrator and dehydrated, pocket in bags and store it, you know. But I mean, they're talking about watermelons going up to about $10.99. by this They're already at big Y for $7.99. I mean that's a freaking oh Yeah, well we can expect that too So again again, don't be surprised to the you know, the markets gonna push You know the prices are gonna be pushed by the availability issue again That's always the case and we're still quite a ways from the rail their overlap with the other growing areas now that we're counting on foreign market never seen it like this before where it's all coming in from I mean I don't know anything that's coming in except I mean they're shipping lettuce from California into Florida. That's how uh... Interesting. Yeah they're shipping, they're even shipping oranges into Florida as well and tandoorines because there's not enough going out by, yeah, by high five, by oranges, the same ones that are in Whole Foods if you go to Whole Foods You look in the organic section or whatever, there's oranges in there called the Eagle's Nest. She has organic oranges. The box weighs 45 pounds and a regular box of oranges only weighs about 25 pounds of just regular. They're grown in really good soil, mineral content. She actually won't sell for like a Publix or a Winn-Dixie. She only sells the whole foods and me. Very good. Appreciate that. Thank you. It's interesting to hear that there's a supply chain glitch in the vegetables and produce. Some of that may be synthetic, causing artificial delays to cause things to pile up on the docks and so forth. That correlates with the story that we had a little while back about baker's green acres where they're trying to destroy the genetic diversity of that pig farm by forcing them to use the standard varieties of pigs that the confined feeding operations are using. Connect that with a story I've been hearing in little dribs and drabs through the corporate press that some virus is ripping through the confined feed operations and wiping out millions of piglets. As such, they're predicting, well, meat prices are going to be skyrocketing soon. Funny how that happens. The establishment is working very, very hard to reduce the genetic diversity to the variety that suddenly gets a mysterious virus. Prices are going up and now we hear that things are being done to cause produce price and availability to also go up. That seems to be quite a coincidence that two different branches of the food chain are being hit at the same time. Interesting enough too, remember the heritage breeds are not as susceptible. They're a much harder breed across the board and do not have the same issues that the tight domestic lines do. So that's another, as we pointed out right from the get-go with the Baker's Green Acres scenario, is that they're targeting again the heartier animals and it was pushed from the industry for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is orchestrated shortage. So that's another reason to support these independents because at a given point this is all going to iron out. This goes into a shooting war. People decided to get fed up with What's going on with the shysters pulling these scams? It's just going to cut loose and the people who are on top of this, you know, when it happens or, you know, up to speed. Example is like an independent like Baker's Green Acres and the many others that hopefully we can keep alive until it hits. Those people are going to be the ones feeding you. Of course, the problem is you're going to still be in seeing shortages, but as quickly as possible, you know, production priority will take place and you're going to see a better quality product and more of it. Well, even if the heritage breeds were not hardy or across the board, the genetic diversity is worthwhile and it's unright. If you have two species that are equally vulnerable to various things, they're going to be vulnerable to different bugs. So, you know, they release one bug and it hits, you know, breed A. It's not going to have as much effect on breed B and vice versa. So there's value to having genetic diversity and they seem to be anxious to stomp that out. Funny how that works. It doesn't help either when Toronto, one of the largest ports in the world, in Toronto, the truckers are all on strike. They refuse to load anything off the dock. So now the ships are being rerouted and that will kill vegetables too. That's not a problem. The five December 2008 episode of Quartermaster's Corner features us talking about how to can both butter and bacon and that can be done with home canning technology. Very straightforward and if you can therefore find those things on sale or at reasonable prices now, It might be worthwhile to go ahead and allocate a couple or a few dozen of your mason jars and get busy in the kitchen if you find a sale or if you have access to Aldi and that sort of other discount type outfits and get things at a price that's at least reasonable by current standards, you may be happy. when you see what the prices are down the road. Even if you're not facing a total unavailability issue, if costs on something go up 50 or 100%, you will be happy even if you're just eating at last year's or two years ago, etc. prices. So that is December 5, 2008 on our archives at indianafreedomtalkradio.com. Now, if you are over there for that reason, I will remind people that Spike has recently managed to restore the copy he has of BK's spreadsheet. So if you do not have some sort of automated method of keeping track of your food stores, grab a copy of BK's spreadsheet. The price is BK's traditional $0.00 and 0 cents. And grab a copy of Open Office at openoffice.org. And it will run on any semi-modern PC, including the ones with the Apple brand names on them, Linux boxes, et cetera. You can get it Open Office for any of those platforms. and run that spreadsheet. Get it from a reputable source such as Indiana Freedom Doc Radio and you will not have any qualms about enabling macros which is a necessary thing to run that spreadsheet and it will help you evaluate what you've got put up. in terms of balance of protein fat carbs and how many man months you can reasonably expect that to be. So IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, the archives and BK spreadsheet, all of them for the low, low price of $0.00. The price is right and there's no sense in not following through to make sure that you've got what you need to follow. your inventory so that we don't overstock in one area and fail in another. Remember guys, balance it out. Initially, try to balance it out. Get to a certain level. Of course, if you get something really dirt cheap, you buy a pile of it. That's the first rule. You see a big ton of stuff and it's there, grab it. You can turn right around and sort out later how you're going to fill up the shelf for the difference. Go ahead, BK. Yeah, I have a weakness in that area. I can't let this motor pass me by. I've got to have four of that, a little electric motor. I've got to have 20 of that chip. Who knows when you might need a 74 Series 138 chip. I'm going to have a few of those. So the pack rat mentality tends to get me in trouble from time to time. Let's branch off into a technological area that we have not mentioned recently. It looks like BG Micro has gotten back into stock with some things that we like. They are down to 73 of those CR123A batteries that we hammered so hard a little while back. Prices higher than when we originally mentioned them. If you had pounced on them when we first told you to, you could have gotten them for $0.75 a piece. Those are the 1, 2, 3, 8 lithium primary cells. Now, however, you can still get them for $10.99. That's $0.99 a piece, or $1.29 a piece. But why would you ever buy single batteries like that? So you definitely ought to buy $10 or more and get them at $0.99 a piece. There's some other stuff that's back in stock there. They have the 18650 batteries. Those are 2000 mAh. Those are very nice big fat batteries. They're not going to fit in your AA applications. But these are used in a lot of the tactical flashlights. They're originally designed for radios. They're found in a lot of laptops. They have these guys at 225 a piece, but more interesting, they are offering 10 of them and a charger for $20. That is bgbravogolfmicro.com. Just click on the link for batteries and you will see them in there. They are offering 10 of those and a charger for $20. So the individual batteries are a bit of a no-brainer. when you can get them cheaper per unit and they'll toss in a charger along with for the low, low price of $20 for 10 of these batteries and a charger. Those are 18650 batteries. Those are a little bit bigger and a little chubbier. They will therefore not fit in the lay requirements and they're certainly not 1.5 volts. These are lithium ion batteries, so they'll operate in the three to four volt range. But if you have a laptop with a fair sized battery pack, that's probably what goes in there. You can rebuild your battery packs from that. If you have some of these tactical flashlights or certain handheld radios that use them. If you have a use for those, they are a bargain from that source. BG Micro, that is bravogolfmicro.com. They also have some AA nickel metal hydrides. It's pretty beefy batteries at 2000 mAh. I have to say that I am impressed with what batteries have done in the last 20 or 30 years. 2 ampere hours is an awful lot and we take that for granted now. I grew up in the days of the carbon zinc primary cell. Not only did we not get anywhere near that, we also had leakage problems when they got old. So, when's the last time people had a flat tire, when's the last time people had a battery leak? We take a lot of these things for granted, but there has been a lot of incremental improvement over the years. Those are at $259 for those AA's. So they're not dirt cheap, it's not a bad price, it's an okay price for those guys. But the 18650s at 10 for 20 bucks is a very, very nice offer. And that's one to pounce on if you have any use for that battery at all. Or if you build things from scratch and you can choose whatever battery you want, one of those will power a circuit that is intended to run at 3.3 volts or arbitrary voltage if you're doing analog work. $18,650, $10,420 with a battery charger thrown in, BGmicro.com. And again, batteries, batteries, batteries, but also they do have a lot of other items that are sitting there. It is worth perusing the catalog to see what all they do have available, correct? Oh, always. You never go to one of these sites without wandering around and finding 20 different ways to spend money that you don't have. Then you'll shake your fist and say, Mark, why didn't you tell us about this sooner? DBK, I thought you knew everything about that. Well, we don't know everything, guys. And there's always stuff they just throw in there that just happens to show up today after we told you about it yesterday. And if you find it, well, you're supposed to let us know, too. Don't forget that. That's another half of the battle. You might want to pitch in and help us out. Maybe we missed something. So we're looking always for the clearance and close outs. I want to remind everybody again, we're getting into the rainy weather. Best price for Swiss ponchos. I've been looking at all my wholesalers here this evening. Guys, colmans.com, colmans.com, go to their clearance section. They still have the OD green rubber boots listed. I don't know what they have left. I would recommend that you call and place the order. But and they also have the five color chocolate chip booney hats for 224 apiece two dollars and twenty four cents Size six and seven eighths, but those are us military booney hats those are very well made. They're not China sport, okay? The other thing here Swiss Army alpine fly ponchos they have them for three dollars apiece roughly and Guys, I can't get those or anything less than 550 to six dollars wholesale They're selling them on the old price schedule because they bought them for a dollar a piece back when Sturm sold a big ton of them that came in. and they still have a chunk sitting on the shelf because they made a good purchase. Well, $3 a piece is very reasonable and that's an excellent poncho and it isn't a camouflage pattern. So that's a plus. Take the time if you need extra rain gear. It's getting piddly outside during the spring and it's going to be, you know, hey, rain is still going to be falling for as long as we'll probably be on this planet. So that's a solution. And again, that's colmans.com. One of the things they have there for $470 is size 5 waiters. Actually, I don't think it's that, it's like $4 for a waiter set. They're brand new. They're size 5. So if you're looking for wet weather gear or wet item gear to work outside, especially with us what we're looking at here, season-wise, that's still the best place to go for those items in the clearance section. It's right on the first page. scroll down to the bottom of the first page you'll see where I'm talking about it on the clearance section at Coleman's dot com Coleman's dot com also uh... center fire systems dot com does have a few things on the sale page on the front uh... today remember that uh... center fire is done on creek tonight uh... this is friday night Guess what? They're down there on the range right now as we speak and Centerfire is right there off the edge of the range. So most of the guys you've probably talked to, if you've ever called down there, are down there actually working the tables. They do have people at Centerfire working. Of course they had them working this week. It's the backup crew. but if you look there are a few items that are kind of interesting they do have some spare barrels in the white brand new for a hundred dollars apiece also the Polish folding stock standard AK-47 wire folding stock side folder but it is a working rifle and the poles don't make junk so again it's definitely worth looking at a bunch of air variants but all of them up around a thousand dollars apiece they're all in Forster models you know, price-wise, I think I'll go a little less on that. The 8K is running 540p, or forgive me, 550 per unit. Now, the big thing there again is check their ammunition. If you've seen the stuff floating around now, it's pretty well been confirmed that how Bummer is going to attack is the executive order pen. They're interpreting rifle ammunition as pistol ammunition. This is a trick that we were all warned about years ago. It's now cropping up officially. and they're going to block the cheap ammo this way or again perhaps just the Russian ammo. Who knows how selective they'll be. But there's another piece that just came out today and it's in the scroll for From the Trenches World Report. House reps call for White House to ban import of military style firearms. And the argument is that under the GCA 68, while there it is again, the old Gun Control Act of 1968, that with the magic executive order pen, they can block the weapons that way. Now, whether or not he's going to move fast enough on that, Who knows? The big thing here is again, as we've said, be select, have a schedule, come up with what it is you want, make a decision and just start plugging away at the critical components. The first rule I would say is this, if you've already made up your mind you're going to buy a certain caliber of weapon. Start buying the ammo now. Just keep buying the ammo. You know you're going to get the gun. You're going to get something in like a... You decide you're going to... You just have to have a 40 caliber something. Well, you know you're going to use 40 caliber ammunition, start buying the ball ammo now, just keep plugging it away, put some away, go to the gun show, have 20, 30 dollars in your pocket for that purpose only. Whatever it takes to buy that dollar amount of ammo, how much you can get for that dollar amount, plus or minus, that's what you go with. But just keep buying the ammo. You're not going to lose a penny. In fact, let's put it this way, there are a lot of smiling people who bought that $80 a can 545x39 ammo that's now $230 a can. Same is true with you 22 caliber purchasers. Guys that had the money for that just kept tucking it away. Well, they're happy now. Now, doesn't surprise me they're going this way. They're getting desperate to attack the guns. They are going to try anything they can to disrupt the arms because their logic is we don't know how to fight. Well, we'll fight what we got. We'll just keep cranking out more as we can. And I'm not too worried if they do cut it off. Better still another example of why people get pissed off and go after them and probably plug them with what they do have. So, let's see what was the last one on the, okay, again that's from the Trenches World Report dot com. Go back to the scroll. It's House Reps Call for White House to Ban Import of Military Style Firearms. And of course, even if you change the looks of it on the outside, they're going to tell you it's evil and bad and needs to be banned anyway. So, that's already in the body of what they were writing about. They already laid down the criteria for it. Last but not least, freeze dry guy dot com freeze dry guy dot com w w w dot freeze dry guy dot com again w w w dot freeze dry guy dot com now we have monthly specials and one of the things he's been doing uh... bk is posting the alerts in the monthly specials section guys Now, you might notice that something has already happened here. Somebody came in and bought up a whole big lump of these. So certain ones are already sold out again. Now, he just bought the excess for this last year and posted it. Now, they do have, well, it looks like they sold out of some of the others too. Well, here, what they do have left is the Western Egan ham from the earlier purchase that he made and the more you buy the cheaper they are but one to three cases a hundred and twelve dollars ninety five cents per case for a case of works. For you that are going up and thinking about deploying if you're figuring you got time you could pick up a case of these. I'd buy the ones that are on sale the Western Eggs and Ham. Hey how appropriate you're going out to Nevada anyway right? Yee-haw! So again, Western Eggs and Ham. Why? Well, because it's cheapest for the most disguise. And the lerps are a great idea. You can bag them up big and drag them in. They're lightweight. Add water. Got your food. It's just that simple. So just something to think about as a solution, but it's in the monthly specials. OK. The lerps are all listed there. They have already sold out of three of the menus. Maybe four, it looks like. They definitely have sold out of all of the original issue except for the original purchase except for the Western eggs with ham Go ahead BK anything else sir Yeah, a number of things this time last week one of our friends spotted an item on Centerfire They're offering a five-pack of the fin masks at $20. They still got that listed That at you know, 20 bucks for five is a bargain. It doesn't come with all the odds and ends It doesn't come with the filters and the bags and the little decontamination powder and all that kind of good stuff. But you can come up with a bag. Worst case, you can get some canvas and you can sell a bag, even if you can't find something surplus. So a five pack from CenterfireSystems.com, then turn around and order a case of the matching 60 millimeter filters from Numbridge that's at GunPartsCorp.com. 45 filters, $450 plus some shipping is about 170 or so. You're paying about $4 a piece for the filters. So if you got two of these five packs, ten masks and one case of the filters at $170, you have spent about $210 and you have got ten mask kits with four and a half mask filters of depth. That's a pretty good kit. That's a good starter for ten people. So that's an available option. Centerfire is not going to have these for very long. I'm sure that they've got a finite number of them. And that's that. When they're gone, they're probably, that's pretty much the last call on the fin masks. So five pack for 20 bucks at Center Fire Systems for the masks themselves and a 45 pack of the filters at about 170 or 175 delivered from GunPartsCorp.com. Get you up and running and you know two of those five packs and a case is a good basic kit for 10 people. Comments there. I was just going to say that there's 100 and some odd reactors on the east coast. They're all over 40 years old. I mean, if we don't get hit by a nuclear, if some, if a bomber doesn't fire one off on his own people, if that doesn't happen, one of those reactors are going to probably crumble sooner or later. So they have one of these masks, especially if you're on the east coast or that whole area, that whole region. you'd be a fool not to have one because it's going to be indirect or direct, though one way or another we're going to get radiation, brother. I can guarantee you that. Yeah, that gets us into the secondary topic of water filtration and all sorts of other good stuff. Fortunately, storing water is fairly cheap and easy. If nothing else, garbage cans will do it when you're outside the freezing hours, or freezing months of the year. Don't worry about plastics leaching into the water if you're storing the raw water and you will then filter it before using it. Do not filter it before you store it in bulk because you may toss out the stored water and change it for fresh later on. We are running a little bit low on time. I'm going to remind people buygunsandmo.com is the outfit that lists this Romanian SS-109. at about 35 cents around guys that is a good price for 55 grain and this is the 62 grain the better stuff for most modern rifles and their barrels We tend to go a lot with the 55 grain, but remember that Stoner designed the 55 grain to work with a 1 in 14 twist barrel, and it's okay to use it on a 1 in 12, but we've got an awful lot of 12s and even 9 twist barrels that are really designed for the 62 grain heavier bullet. So the SS109 is the better match for those 9 twist barrels, and it's a pretty darn good match for 12 or 10. So, these guys have the Romanian SS-109 at about $0.35 around, BuyGunsAndAmmo.com. I think it's still on the site because Romanian is unfamiliar to a lot of people and that site does not run a super high profile. It's not one of the ones that everybody is used to looking and checking every day. But they too will have finite resources. They have other stuff. They have 9mm, they're 45mm. There's some interesting stuff there. So if you are looking for supplies of completed factory ammunition, that is an asset. That is an available resource right now. One of the things before we go here, and a reminder for everybody out there that with regard to supply and support, ammunition, magazines, weapons, follow-up maintenance once you've got them. I've noticed something about stuff that's coming in. Obviously you should have all noticed this too, but packaging has become paper thin at best. Even though it's supposed to be bulk plastic storage or whatever guys, don't expect what you originally got, whatever it is that you got in, to be stored in the container you got it in. The material is really low and inferior, definitely the quality is not there. Go ahead, caller. Before we run out of time, I want to remind people that Micro Effects has got their conference call going on right now. The caller number is... 559-726-1300 access code 676603 that's posted on themicroeffect.com themicroeffect.com scroll down just a little bit it's at the top of the page it's the conference call is going on right now They asked if I could continue on but I got something to take care of here so I will not be able to join the conference but you guys can go over there and Join in the ongoing discussion that we were having during the militia town hall meeting program just posted that in the chat room for everybody again. It's five five nine seven two six 1 3 0 0 and the pin number is 6 7 6 6 0 3 and that is for the Micro Effect chat that's going on right now. It's a conference. BK if you can slide over there anybody else can make it. We'd appreciate it. The idea is to chip in, brainstorm. There have been a number of different subjects they're covering but also of course to support the Micro Effect, help to build it up and keep it on the air as it is guys. Okay. One last time, Signal Communications has been disrupted out there around the Bundy Ranch. Shouldn't be a surprise. We're headed up on the weekend. Bad guys like to pull stuff in. The political hacks have been in and out. Apparently, as was pointed out by one of our callers, he really doesn't want those people around, but they're probably going to show up anyway. We'll see what continues to happen with the battlefield. Speak anything else, sir? Nah, that'll do it and we're well over. Very good. 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. New Road. Thank you, sir. You're welcome.
