I did not get a chance to do that. I was given on another site, but I don't have the confirm on that yet. There's supposed to be a PayPal key on it, too. But if you'd like to support them, we're making sure that everything goes directly towards supplies. And again, I'm trying to do it in such a way we can have it drop shipped in phase one right now. Of course, that may change quickly. If other things are happening, we don't want anything to get caught in limbo. And this is why what we also need on the ground is for somebody to work on a second delivery location away from the Bundy's. By the way, we also need it so that they can stop a semi truck. Remember, we're looking at dropping off pallets of material. We're not talking about boxes, we're talking pallets. So we need a second deployment location for logistics, and then we infiltrate it, slash truck it, later on move it cross country to get it into the area as needed. Typically though we should be able to until open hostilities become, because bad guys become more aggressive, We should still be able to move it into an, you know, move material in, move personnel out as needed. I hear the music. God bless the Republic. Down with the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we're marching dead now. Hoorah! We'll be back just a little bit. Y'all grab that next cup of coffee. Next hour of the Intel Report, afternoon coming up. It's Monday.

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 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's 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 what you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in 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 trampled each god-given rite, 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'd 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 afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Krunke. 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 southeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies east and west of the 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. And in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska. 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, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium 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. I'll tell you what it is. A beautiful gray spring day. It's still bright. It's actually quite bright outside to be quite honest. We have high cloud cover. Might even break up. Looks like it's getting a little thinner to be quite honest. So we might actually have a semi clear evening. We'll see what happens. Could get a front coming off one of the other lakes though and we'll switch out pretty quick. It's the 28th of April. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist. occupation of america with a k two thousand and fourteen older calendar or my end crying in town crazy town calendar as we know couple things here again a reminder uh... if you want to donate and we are specifically if you're going to be donating to the bunny ranch uh... remind you again that you're going to be using our people keywood liberty free radio Please make note for again in the footnotes Bundy Ranch Donation we greatly appreciate that and we earmark specific technology for replacement replenishment down there or Again, I made some deals on material in volume where we're going to be doing it in bulk It's actually a surprise bin, but it's everything we wanted plus a whole lot of other stuff. In fact, too numerous to mention. It's like a grab bag palette, a couple of them are, and they're cheap, very cheap. So a lot of material and, again, additional material and support where it needs to be. In addition, the PsyLoom, we've got some military equipment we've bought out from one company. That'll go in there. It'll be in the depot. Yeah, I doubt they'll be able to restock to be quite honest. Whatever we bought is probably all that company will have and will be out from that point forward, but that's okay. We got it. Somebody else didn't. So we're moving on that. That's one of the jobbers slash wholesalers. In addition, the Alpine tent stakes. These are a yoke type. These are much more durable. They're stronger steel. They're not lightweight, but they're designed for windy, slash rugged encampments, sides of mountains, gravel spills, etc. A lot of what you find up in the high altitudes. Remember, you've got broken rock, it becomes part of landslides, turns into pebbles, turns into finer stone, and pea gravel, and slated, and it works into itself, and it is just like working into cement. It does break up. Well, you need certain types of cleated stakes for that and we're going to buy every one of those that the company has in fact I doubt they'll replace these again they turned out they were Swiss Alpine that's cool I figured a little bit looks of them they were there Swiss or Italian Alpine issue old military heavy steel very well built and they aren't going to come out of the ground they're designed for exactly what we got to deal with the important thing is that the 10-inch it's used there uh... meets the specs for the environment to and there are things that sometimes need to be taken into consideration you may actually have to break camp or break your tents knock them down secure the secure them to the ground when not in use and then redeploy them as need be. That's just basic rule guys, if it looks like you've got too much of a wind issue, trying to leave the stuff up constantly means that you may compromise the equipment if it's not that well built. So the basic rule is collapse it, secure it with weighted objects, roll it up and secure it under, you know, again and even dig a position for it so you can leave it underground. the small hidey hole or basically a little foxhole for it. Everything goes in there, is weighted down so it's out of the wind line. When you need it again, bring it back up, deploy it accordingly. You don't have to pull up your stakes because you'll know exactly where you're going to be deploying your tent. And your tethers and lines help to re-strengthen everything and stress it so that you don't have wobble, which when you get wobble with tentage you eventually, well that's where the rip's going to start. There's something to think about there. Anyway, again, callers, do we have any right now? uh... seven one two four three two zero nine zero zero that's one seven one two four three two zero nine zero zero i don't know how we're going to do this yet but uh... effect i don't care who doesn't if we get more than one do we really care more than one micro f m broadcasting unit on the ground out there would be good in fact it should be a high priority with the way things are working why well it's pretty obvious that uh... We're looking at the bad guys trying to again bollocks up the water here guys. If you go to dealextreme.com, dealextreme.com, and then go to consumer electronics. Now when you touch the consumer electronics icon at the top of the page there, top of the inventory, a white bubble area pops up and there's all kinds of other subcategories. Well if you go over and straight down to the middle you'll see where it says Other consumer electronics, I've brought this up many times, it's now in the archives repeatedly but we're doing it again. You go from consumer electronics to a subsection which is Other Consumer Electronics. Now when you get there and you click there, they do have by the way frequency counters and all kinds of good stuff in this section. Most important is for under $100 and I would point out for instance a 1 to 7 watt stereo FM transmitter, standard commercial bandwidth as far as what it will cover, $85.59 and the shipping is free so under $100. We are talking about putting a micro FM emergency broadcasting system up in place. Now, again, where we have additional personnel that are there that are rotating and volunteering and doing whatever they're doing, any of you can run that radio station. You don't have to be a combatant to run a radio station, guys, so anybody out there listening, we set up the station. It runs nonstop. But we can also give in the clear emergency orders or instructions as needed as part of the radio grid. And the cool thing is, Everybody has a car radio. Now one other thing, remember with a micro FM station anybody along the highway there could tune in if you set it up as a way to get the word out locally. Ah yeah, that would work. You don't broadcast on anything of an open end, an open part of the bandwidth that's available. You do a frequency check. But there are a number of different packages. However, more than one is not a bad thing. In fact, multiples would be a good thing, which I highly recommend. Now, on that note, as long as we're on communication, something that wears out, breaks down, and all you guys might already have had this happen. At dealextreme.com, they have replacement DIY Rubber shell antennas for walkie-talkies with SMA female connector. Color is black, five pieces per kit for $12.19 shipping is free. It's paid for. That's shipping paid for. So you're talking five antennas in the kit. For $12.19 if your rig needs this particular item and here's the way to do this all the specs are here for these things on the page Go to deal extreme and punch in replacement DIY rubber shell antenna the SKU number is two nine one five nine or six That's two nine or one five nine or six two nine or one five nine or six $2.09 or $1.59 or $6.12 and $0.19 for five of these. A couple dollars apiece. Can't beat that. That's a great price for spares. It's one of those things, those little rubber ducky antennas have a tendency to get beat on eventually in the heat or just with age. The plastic wears out. If you have any of the radios that will take this antenna, now all the specs are down below. It's the easiest way to understand this. All the specs are right there. It fits the Kenwood, the Bellfong, the Quan Sheng and the Uolgang radios. Okay, compatible brands. So it fits on the Kenwoods, the Bellfeng, the Quan Sheng and the Uolgang. These are Walkie Talkie SMA female connector antennas. And again, very lightweight, but these are light duty antenna. You'll find them on a lot of equipment, obviously, in the Kenwoods and the bottle of foam on top of everything else. If you've got one that's worn out, well, here's a solution, a replacement antenna. $12.19 for five of them. If you have a bunch of those radios, I would buy one of these little kits as a policy, as part of your replacement and repair kit. Just again, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance, so we need to get this in motion now. Anyway, DealXreme has the micro FM radios. Again, they also have frequency counters slash, you know, any number of different survey pieces of equipment to include for laser detection and also for microwave. So for anybody out there who's looking to be able to spot an ID, a aggressor action in those two areas, that technology is dirt cheap, it's on the shelf, and it could quickly be employed. So it's purely a matter of your motivation guys. Now as far as the output, With regard to the microfem mini stations, guys, it's purely the... It's whatever you want to spend. And also, you're looking at up to 20 watts for a transmitter. One watt to seven watt for the one I'm looking at, which is the CZE-7C. But there's also the five, there's also the three, et cetera, et cetera. There are several models listed. So whatever fits your wallet and suit your need. You're going to need a few more items. To plug everything in, you want a microphone. What you want is a switching board, a switch board, slash a mixing board, and some noise makers. And remember, you can also be rebroadcasting the Microfector Liberty Tree radio off of any number of different services non-stop. Wow. The big advantage is that it's possible for you to be able to use this as an emergency broadcasting system to get the word out locally with your personnel. That's what we're looking at is a solution, one of several. We don't want just one, we don't want all our eggs in one basket. We don't want one transceiver that does everything. That's a recipe for failure. You want individual boxes for individual solutions. Okay? Just that simple. Here are a number of things. Do we have colors? Okay, very good. Now we'll go on to a couple of things here with regard to equipment. It does not have to be desert camouflage. It does not have to be the most recent camouflage. We are already talking about 100 degree weather out there. By the way, it's Nevada. Is anybody surprised by that idea that it's going to be, oh my god, weather? Of course it is. If you've been down in Arizona or southern Nevada or central Nevada for that matter, it's some of the driest places in North America. So we need to be prepared for that. Ripstop clothing of any kind is designed to allow you to air, to wick moisture, and to allow you to breathe to cool, guys. But still cover skin so you don't get it cooked. Now it can be Savannah tan ripstop. It can be OD green. It can be three color desert five color chocolate chip. Think about five color chocolate chip as most of that was done on 5050 cotton polyester blends. So it's in the heavier uniform. Just something to think about there. Right now a bunch of the British DPM desert camo is coming out in force and it's very reasonably priced. Now take into consideration again layers because while it's nice and hot during the day, it doesn't take long for it to get really cool at night. And remember, you can be attacked with a good case of hypothermia going from 100 degree weather to 70 degree weather. Just that much of a shift from daytime to nighttime is enough to kill you. You're looking at temperature shifts that are quite extreme. You adapt to warm weather, understand that the nights, which of course that air does that, there's not a whole lot of moisture in that air, so it's not going to hold a whole lot of heat. Remember that when the sun goes down, so goes the calories with it. It's really no different from winter operations or anything else you run into where you have, oh, I'm accumulating some heat and then it kind of like disappeared on me. If it's enough of a shift and you're not properly outfitted or prepared for that, guys, then hypothermia, the middle of Florida, Ranger School, they've had men die of hypothermia in the middle of summer, guys. Go ahead, color. It's about 90 in the day and 50 at night. Exactly. So we're looking at, now the reason we bring that up, It's not a big deal. All you do is bring along your field jacket. Remember, your field jackets are engineered with layers. You can put a liner in it, or you can just wear the shell. And remember, you can always take it off. But if you don't have it, you're going to be kind of in trouble, OK, senior? So the important thing is, remember, first of all, we're not going to be bee bopping around in the high heat of the day if we can help it. The other half of this is learn from the natives. I would be willing to bet if you pay attention to Mr. Bundy, he's probably lived out there all his life. In fact, he's lived all of his life on that piece of real estate. So you already have the best, oh wait a minute, probably his sons have also lived pretty much all of their lives on that real estate. Do as the natives do. Listen to them. Ask questions about terrain, about heat, and about another thing that people tend to forget, light. When you have extreme conditions like this, guys, the valleys get darker sooner. So you need to start looking at what is the light cycle during the day, through to the evening, and vice versa during sunrise. There are significant and extreme illumination issues. This creates problems and it's also why attacks take place in the pre-dawn or in the dusk hours because of lack of adaptability by the defenders with regard to vision. That's why a pre-dawn attack is perverted and that we also have the whole day to fight in daylight. Then when you get into the dust showers, well if you have to extract yourself or withdraw, it gives you the opportunity under cover or under disruption of natural vision to get the job done. So again, these are things where your locals already have the answers. It's not like they're move-ins, guys. The ranch has been there since the 1870s. What does that tell you? I think everybody there has grown up with the environment and has a pretty good understanding of it. Let's take advantage of those Kit Carson Scouts. They'll keep you alive. A couple of other things here too, and I mentioned it in the last hour, pre-deployment of water while you can. Every time that you walk up to a position, those throwaway bottles that somebody else emptied should have already been cleaned out and they should already have a drop of bleach in them. and a drop or a drop iodine, take your pick and they should be filled back up and they should be carried back up with you every time you go to one of those pieces of high ground. Not just the water you're going to normally drink, which you better take with you too, but you start taking advantage of the horsepower that you have. Don't have sandbags filled? Well guess what? Every time you go up, you don't have to make some big excursion, but cumulative construction is not difficult. And cumulative, or what we call ant transport, is just as intelligent. Another cool thing about that, it's difficult for the bad guys to accurately estimate deployment when there is no significant event to identify in the process of supplying and building up a point. You see how that works? Now the same is true with all of your locations, including even your dummy locations. You may have to occupy a dummy location. So, the only thing that a dummy location typically is, is a prep location that has perhaps a couple of nothing but dummies occupying it as in mannequins, as in a simulation that is very accurate. Now, that's where again, creativity comes in. There was some discussion about this a couple of days ago, last week, as a matter of fact, some people brought up, well why aren't they doing this and why aren't they doing that? Well, good question, they got time. They've got the manpower and whatever they're doing when you get into the hazy parts of the day where you can't be running around, that's when you're doing all the manual work that needs to be done that is tedious. Where you sit down, under cover, get into a position and get the work done. Now when you move back out for normal activities, well, that's when you redeploy and distribute what you've completed. See how that works? Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance just that simple another thing head cover Pith helmets are not a bad thing guys in fact Pith helmets would be a good solution in that they offer instant shade They're out there in force. They're in Savannah tans. You could even get them in some camo patterns. I wouldn't worry about that I just hit them with some Spock paint, you know a little bit of this a little bit of that and Then I would again deploy them because that is immediate sun cover, lightweight, designed to reflect and in the process alleviate a lot of issues with regard to those sunstroke problems and moisture reduction. Another thing in repeating over and over again, the best place to store water is in your person. So pre-hydrating before deployment. especially before going into the field is a way to carry additional water. Pre-hydrating, adding to your internal source of water, drinking more water, it's that simple. There are a number of other tricks to that, but the critical thing is take advantage of your base of operations. They've got wells, they've got bulk water storage. Before you go anywhere, you pre-hydrate and work on, of course, supplementing your minerals, et cetera, we've discussed that also. Weapons maintenance. Another thing everybody is finding out about, the dust of ages. You may have already seen a bunch of write-ups on this. We've warned everybody about this. Now I'm going to point out again, making up a dust cover for your weapon is not a bad idea. Now an oil rag is typically your best choice. And again, you're not going to use this to wipe the gun down with. An oil rag's purpose is to drape over the operating action area. It is lightly oiled, make sure that it's absorbed in and into the material, preferably old camouflage, old brown t-shirts. Take your pick, whatever you got. Now, we're not talking dripping. We're talking mildly tackier. In other words, there's lubricant there. It's enough that it's obvious, but it's not soaking. You don't squeeze it and squeeze a cupful of oil out of the rag. That's not what we want. We want just enough to have an applique of oil that contaminates all of that cover rag. It's kind of like making your own version of a water repellent piece of canvas. OK, but here's what it does. Remember that particle dust is kicked up by you moving around. It attaches itself to the molecule. It's that small and floats in the air. Well, that oil rag accumulates the dirt instead of it settling on your equipment. On the critical component of your weapon be it an M14, slash, an M1A, an M1 Grand. The guy's carrying carbines out there, AK47s, AR15s. Doesn't make any difference. By using one of these drape cloths accordingly and knowing that you know when the time comes it's a discard if you get into a firefight and just throw it to the side The idea though is that it covers the critical working areas even though the AR-15 has a dust cover. Oh That's right. It does doesn't it and they even call it. What do they call it? A dust cover on the 8k. It has a what? It has an over-the-top of the receiver dust cover But, unfortunately, with the Dust of Ages environment you're in here, dry on a popcorn fart and it's going to get worse, that means that all that fine silt and all of that stuff kicked up by the breeze and kicked up off the ground by you walking around, that's going to work into everything you got, so be prepared for it. Now, this gets into another thing about equipment. This is where equipment and why we need to look at replacing equipment going into the field. What is your material mostly made out of that you're wearing now? What's your web gear made out of? It's not solid sealed polymer guys. It's a cloth polymer, typically Corodura, although it can also be cotton. It depends on who made it and where it came from. But the fact of the matter is that it is a material mesh. Just like that dust getting on your weapon, When that dust settles into your gear, it works like an abrasive sandpaper. It works like emery cloth. And every time that you move, and every time you walk up that hill, and every time that you walk down that road, and every time that you walk cross country, and every time you pick that gear up, and every time that you flex it to put it on, and every time that you move around and flex it while you're wearing it, Anything you've kicked up, you see those neat pictures where everybody looks a little dusty and they pull off that goggle and they got the little scallops under the eyes because the face is clean? Well, do you see how their face looks? Well, their equipment and their uniforms are in no better condition, right? Now you can beat on it and dust it off in the field a little bit, but I'm going to tell you right now You're not going to get that out of your clothing not for quite some time and not a complete wash and even then There's always a little bit of it sticking around. This is how clothing wears out Now you would say well mark that would take a lot of you're out there 24-7 in the field, right? This is not a weekend camping excursion with mostly a you know tailgate party This is a field operation where the word fatigues are applied. We call them fatigues for a reason. It is a French term because everyone wanted to emulate the French military. So fatigues were built for a reason to get dirty and to wear out so you better take spares. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. As BC down here in Carolina, I'm out here in the shop. generally who will call it a great great great who are generally down with the union of all and the guy gets up there and felt cavalry system shakes the shit of his blue gray or was admitted ago well they will hold their daughters on our side that is not on our side why god is not on the side of fools We're on the edge of getting kind of rain. In fact, we've gotten piddly rain, like spitters, but we haven't gotten any major rain. But we have been, a lot of people are in motion to help out here with this. But even as these issues are brought forward, as we've said, it looks like they're jumping off with stuff all over the country. And that's not a surprise, guys. We're into a very significant aspect of the game, just like they were back in the 30s. So I think that the bunny ranch is especially critical for us because it's a It is an opportunity to perfect our skills. Don't worry about the ones that have stumbled or whatever. In fact, hopefully, maybe they'll change their ways or correct themselves. Some people have already made a decision on that, but there's basically a rule here. This is not simply a business as usual exercise. It is business as usual for the enemy, but not for us. A lot of people, in fact, who have not had the experience over the last 20 years, because they're a little newer to the effort, We haven't seen these types of campaigns before. We have to reinforce. Even with our own people, we are used to the idea of acquiescing to a degree. Guys, if we deploy, we deploy in a genuine fashion and we take it seriously. We have to. If you don't, that's when you are going to stumble. When you make mistakes that you could have easily corrected by simply acting as an adult. In a situation like this, we have to treat. We have to work discussing being warriors. Act as a warrior. We have, of course, a lot of different things that need to be taken care of. By the way, BC chaplains on the ground. We need militia units in place, but we need chaplains on the ground. We need radio operators on the ground. We need transport. We need medical support personnel to rotate in and out of there. This is a chance for everybody to practice what they preach and to actually see where ideas work. See, when you show up, whatever you're doing for your SOP within your team, That's what you're going to do guys. So we're going to find out whether or not your ideas work. That's the most important part about this, that we get a chance in this precursor phase to re-engineer our minds as needed. Well that worked just fine but that other thing was a real stumble foot. We've got to change that. See how that works? See how that is? That's how it should be. That's how we should be thinking. On our feet. We've got the thinkers, they've got the stinkers. By the way, are you going to be up live this Thursday? Yes sir. Give everybody information out about the program, please, while you're right here with us. Those gongs in the background blow, the guy with the eye drops and the guy dies, head stretched back, and it's like, oh my god, they're going to do that to me. Yeah, really. Why do you think they put you under? Remember that? Well, actually, you're totally awake and you know what's going on. As a matter of fact, Ryan was exposed, and I could play a little Grey Shadows here at Liberty Bobble out. We'll be in touch. Very good. Thank you, sir. I appreciate the input. By the way, it's Monday guys. It felt like Monday. Several people agreed. Yesterday was like Monday. I actually was sure that we had to be on the air. There were so many things that have been piling up with what's going on and feedback from the troops and the stuff getting people out there, getting people in motion, trying to coordinate it so that we could cherry pick the material we have and ship out comparable equipment. to the Bundy's so that what they get is something that you know again everybody will understand it's copacetic no special technologies in other words simple battery packs easy to understand nothing that's over complicated so that whoever's on the rig can hit the switch hit the hit the mic and get some you know noise out that's really most critical in a field situation where you may be of course rotating personnel in and out of an operational area You may have specialized jobs and you may have more sophisticated equipment, but remember that a good portion or the lion's share of your activity does not require hyper tech. In fact, just reverse, kiss, keep it simple, stupid. More knobs and more goodies mean more things that can be confusing to the average operator. So simplifying or minimizing allows the individual, even in a stress situation, to accomplish the task. That's something that needs to be taken into consideration. Example, there are some beautiful CBs that are out there, you know, Citizen's Band radios. They're quite sophisticated. They're as sophisticated as any of the other what we consider promotional or professional line radios that are used by amateur ham operators. The problem is the average person is not cognizant nor familiar with. Now the first thing I know that everybody would say is, well Mark, we need to educate them. You are absolutely right. And after you get your person into the cockpit of that tail-dragging prop plane called a basic radio, Then you can develop their skills in Tricycle gear multi-engine and all the other fun stuff. Oh did I I'm talking airplanes Well, there's no difference with any of the training The basics have to be applied first and a you must achieve a certain level of proficiency across the entire group You may then perfect the skills of certain individuals that show promise or show an aptitude in whatever form and for the technology that you're committing them to or that they're willing to commit to in reality. This is radio equipment, night vision, not everybody's going to want to use equipment or certain pieces of equipment, it's like weapon systems. And again, there are some people, they've been taught with the AR-15, it's their niche, it's where they are, it's where they're going to be. There are other people who just make phenomenal long-range belly gunners, but I would argue that almost any one of you can do that. Need to perfect the skill there you can see farther than you can shoot I would all I would certainly recommend that you have a couple of clubs in the golf bag out there and one of them being a heavy high-powered rifle 30 out 6 300 win mag 338 Lapura or 50 caliber it's up to you But every man out there should be deployed with a bolt gun or a gas gun of some kind in a heavy battle rifle caliber or in a heavy caliber why I will challenge you again to look at all these pictures of the environment guys. The greater you can reach, the more damage you can do before they can get within their weapons range. See how that works? And again, the very worst, you force it up. You're a pilot by the way Mark, you talk like you're a pilot. Are you a pilot? Well I was in aviation, that was one of my secondary MOS's. I worked, I actually I actually picked it up as a secondary MOS back in the 80s. It works the same. I've been a trainer, guys. I don't care what it is. In fact, I've got volumes. of all the research it was done by with your tax dollars on the subjects and it was it was it was understood that no matter what it is combat infantry pilots naval crewmen that the more realistic the training and the more, again, the effort to create a survivability or survivable environment for those coming into the system, which isn't always guaranteed, if they could get past 10 engagements, minor engagements, typically the individual had accumulated enough proficiency, be they a pilot, an infantryman or whatever, the chances are they were going to endure to the end of the campaign. Now, there's still the fickle finger of, oh my god, that bullet found your fate thing, but you've got to live with that. That's part of the get over it. It's part of the business. But with pilots especially, with aircraft, we've always said this, all stick time is good time. Anything you can fly is good flight time. Of course, you don't want to be flying it to the crash site. Just because we got it in the air doesn't mean it will come down the way you want it to sir. What do you mean? Oh trust me on this one, I wouldn't take that up if I were you. You know what I mean? Stay in current. Stay in current. It's tough. It costs money and stay in current. It's not easy. All the additional expenses. Insurance expenses. You've got to cover every aspect of what you're going to get. The company does it but it's in your bill when you use somebody else's plane. No matter what anybody says. or mark they cover the insurance yes and you pay your percentage of it when you pay the bill to re-qualifier to continue to qualify so yes they make the razor it's the blades that get you you know the old story will show you a free-raiser with a backpack full of blades right at you best be you best be in shape if you want that uh... instrument rating you know just hand those out you gotta have You got to be in good shape physically. I mean the physical is a bitch on that sucker. Yeah, for the time being. Down the road we won't worry about it. As long as Rigor Mortis has said it, you'll be in the cockpit. And if it does sit in, don't worry. I'll put you in the other seat. Don't worry, you can be my co-pilot. You won't know anything about what happens and you'll feel just fine. But it'll fill the other chair. So at least I feel comfortable. I got company with me on the way down. Yeehaw! Oh, I mean on the way up. I'm sorry. Did I say that? Yeah, remember that second engine's designed to get you to the crash site sooner. What? Yeah, everybody forget I got no problems getting out of the ramp and stealing and stealing the back ice plane I got no problems doing that at all. There's so much air. There will be the other thing There are so many aircraft laying around even now Nobody, this is why the feds are a joke because they figure that we're not stupid worse to we're so stupid We're not gonna pay attention to our environment, but you know, it's like around here. Nope We're in a fairly well-to-do area, but nobody can afford to get their plane off the ground Because of the cost of fuel and all the other fees and all the other BS that they're pushing and it was intentional It was designed to ground our air fleet. Okay, that's what people don't really want to acknowledge because they're too busy Worrying about little get angry with me Well, the bottom line is is the only thing in the air around here are feds It's either air ambulance military traffic or feds because and I mean we're in an area where we used to have three different air strips and runways that were industrial and you would have dozens and dozens of flights. The neat thing was keeping an eye out because they were render revolution companies. They were flying all the old military air fleet stuff. C-37s, DC-5s, DC-4s. And so it was kind of neat because you could first estimate by pitch and sound and then you'd look at, oh yeah, check that out. Because there were a bunch of C-37s that were modified with a long nose rad dome. that was done after World War II and actually up into the 70s is when it was done but it gave them greater range capability and onboard arrow signal communications for air traffic control etc all kinds of fun stuff. Plus some cases more space to stuff stuff is what it comes down to. Go ahead we got another caller who do we have? Hi this is Shawn in Seattle. It would be interesting can you still hear me? Yeah we got you go ahead. It would be interesting to invite the Japanese Army and Air Force over to the Bundys so they can test out some of their new anti-aircraft. The Chinese want the area right? You know how the Japanese love the Chinese and what's going on over there. Actually, right along. They got your farther stuff right in. No, dress a couple of our people up. A dozen of them as Japanese Defense Forces. everything you need. In fact, you could. You could use the French CCE camouflage. I was just looking at that. All the stuff that just came in in a wave, because the Japanese Defense Forces have more of a tan in them and then a real-like, real-defined... And they have that head cover that covers back the gunbursts. Yeah, the head cover's not a problem. They just got them in with KeepShooting.com. They've got the Kevlar helmet covers for $1.49. I'm talking about World War II and they had the stuff draped over the back of the neck. No, no, no, you want to look just like the modern one because then what you do is you put the Japanese Rising Sun flag overhead and really muck what everybody said. Put a sunburst on everybody's shoulder and put a battle flag overhead, whichever you take your pick. Give them a Japanese Marine designation. That would probably make the Chinese scratch your head and make an announcement. That would be fun. We should have done it on the air. Just say that the Bunnies have voluntarily given over a good portion of their land to the Japanese for wind solar studies. Yeah, or beef manufacturing. Cow over there goes for a premium price. Think about it. That would be perfect. We should have said anything on here. We could have talked about the mutual defense pact that the Japanese government offered as a direct insult to the Chinese regime. That would be perfect. Why not? The revolution where it was the French and the Americans against the British and the Germans. Exactly. It was a well-watered effort. So what the hell is the difference? We even had American Indian tribes fighting on either side. Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, the Ottawa, the Chippewa, everybody was involved in one day of the Huron again. The Iroquois nation was directly involved. All of the Iroquois Confederation was involved during the American War for Independence, guys. Okay, that's one thing. Everybody had a stake in the game. That's a fact. The interesting thing about it is, again, I can't say even lack because there's a bunch of people that are talking about it but they've been told not to as far as the control press goes with the foreign involvement. But the foreign involvement was a brag up so there's too much public information you can print out there showing all of these traders shoveling dirt with their little communist Chinese counterparts bragging it up. And of course we've got the same thing going on here in Michigan, but every time they put an industry here in Michigan in the last several years, the federal government pays the bill to start it. Michigan gives them all these tax write-offs, and then two years later the whole operation is in communist China. So the whole thing is a farce. You know, we're going to get the Chinese to invest in Michigan. No, they're going to buy up a lot of real estate. And what they'll do is they'll let us be the buffoons that we have been building the industry up. They just did a battery company that way here. As soon as they put the thing in, they had Mexicans on the ground almost immediately with the American workers. After that, then they brought in the Chinese. lo and behold guess what all of a sudden there's a factory that to replace the American one in Mexico and Then there's one in China Wow who to funk it So, the American component isn't selling quite in the market the way it was because those other two labor groups at the same company allowed to be created or helped to create our money funded and perfected the technique and they came in on a freebie and got all the technology and all of the expertise from our tax money. Wow. Yeah, the Chinese are going to really, really, really invest in us. No, they're not. So, that's another reason to understand the game and how it's being played. Another thing to watch here real quick, by the way before I forget, over there on the left side of the country guys, we are looking for camouflage nets. So even up in your neck of the woods, Sean, anybody else, if you can check out or scope out your bulk surplus sites. A lot of people aren't excited about the desert tan color. They use it, I mean, duck hunters here use it to a degree, but even there, the greens and the browns are usually the better choice for it. But if we run into anything up there, we need a flag or a heads up. So if you do run into anything like that, pass it on to us by sending an email to liberty at provide.net. Liberty. I can think of Mark as fishnetting. If you can get the very light grade fishnet in the one inch by one inch. which usually comes out surplus up in that neck of the woods. You do have a large fleet industry there. Those make good camouflage nets. As long as they're not in the striation colors for safety, they do different safety colors. But if it's in the browns, grays, or even in tan. I would expect tan because it's like everything else in the plastic industry. There's so much of this junk that they've made for Desert Dust 1 and 2 and for Afghanistan that the Savannah Tans and the Coyote Browns are dominant in the industrial circles because there's billions and billions of gallons of this stuff piled up, both in the plastic chip for coloration and for pigmenting for paint. That's why you'll notice a lot of plastic items are in the Coyote Brown, even vinyl siding. We just got some vinyl siding the other day here. It is Coyote Brown. The reason, there's lots of it out there that's being, all the stuff that's being made for the government is contract in bulk in every different category of material and it bleeds over industrially. You might run into it that way. They sell those ad nets and rolls. Yes, they sell all that. Well, yeah in Kamloin that's yes, and we can get them in all sizes But I'm saying remember see what we've done is we used to have net net classes what we'd have a meeting before we take one hour and We would have all the accumulated material burlap chopped up rain rain suits Sliced up ponchos ones that were really bad what we do is cut them in the strips and we'd have a tying party And then you fret what you tie after you tie it into place you cut a strip of material about eight inches long Then of course about the same width as the box in width. You tie that into place on the net, make sure it's snug. Then you take the scissors or your razor blade, scissors are a better choice, and you cut four or five frets in the length on either piece and go on to tie in the next one. Every time we had a meeting we would do that for one hour. That's how we did our own custom camouflage emplacement nets. made from the basic older World War II type netting or the Russian netting that was coming in or fish netting off the east coast. So that's another way to do it. You can buy it prefabbed, all ready to go. It's purely a matter of again what kind of resource, man power, and again how do you teach people? You build it yourself. It's like making giant ghillie suits basically is what you're doing. So, that's another way to do it. The fishing net is a good option. They used to have several companies, I'm sure they're still out there if I dig around long enough, but there were companies that specialized in selling the fishing net. They collected themselves and they have odd lengths and sections and they'll chop it up into pieces, you know, 20 by 10 or in length, rectangular or oblong sizes, depending on the interest in the market. and what the thing looks like. It was really cobbled up in a spot, they'll carve that right out and chop up that particular net accordingly to make it fit their marketability. Good point, that's another thing. Fishing net would be an option and then we go from there with material. But the other thing is that if it's on the west coast, it will be cheaper to ship it down the coast than it is to ship it across the country. Just keep that in mind. If we know where it is, then we can talk to them about making a lot deals. Wholesalers, typically if the person does retail, check to see if they do wholesale for us. If everybody starts looking into this, there's a lot of odd people that have bought stuff as surplus and started up their own little surplus businesses and they aren't necessarily hooked up nationally. Some people buy the stuff, I've run into this all the time, they'll buy tonnage from the government and put it off side the road. Well there's more of you out there than there are me. And if somebody runs into it, then get the business card, get their business number, pass it on and then we'll work out the logistics. But we do need to deal with this and we need a quantity of stuff as was pointed out by our caller this morning And we were discussing this afternoon It's going to be hot out there guys overhead cover and camouflage nets. You know again Make all the difference in you create your own shade if there's no trees you got to create your own shade Another thing that would be handy that everybody could do if you go into the internet They have parasols out there cheap through the internet. $13, $12, $6 for a 64 or 68 inch in diameter rain umbrella that is digitally camouflaged in the browns or in the loams. And again, that would work as a portable sunshade that could be deployed anytime. Hell, I'd walk with it in the field, especially in a desert. I wouldn't think twice about that. Overhead cover is overhead cover and it's actually disruptive to a degree because of the pattern. It's not like you're carrying a red or blaze orange piece of material. It's designed to break up and work in the environment. I'll tell you what, breaking up, we are at the top of the hour. My goodness, we're already done with the second hour here. We should be here at the music. God bless the republic. the next one.
