A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money'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 blamed. 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 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 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? The drums the drums I hear the drums go to the sound of small arms fire the drums boys here we go well Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cronke. 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, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, the 5th, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado waving to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and lighten the smokies slash the Blue Ridge with the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work, a million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, BK it's gray, it's a classic spring day here. Medium cool temperatures, wear a coat if you're going outside guys, no sense in getting sick yet. We can get sick later. Anyway, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What is the day today, please? It is 2 May 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report and that makes this quarter masters corner. We started out the week with one heck of a thunderstorm and it's been pretty neat since then. It's a little on the cool side but it won't be all that long until we are pouring sweat and have to throw towels over the furniture arms lest we ruin the varnish and things like that. So I'll take it and I'm going to enjoy the cool while it lasts. which is a major change in attitude because it's not all that long ago that cool was kind of a nuisance because it was cold outside. But oh well, I reserve the right to be a bit inconsistent from season to season regardless. But it's been fairly pleasant. It's time to be getting out there. One day, all the Dandelions popped up and fuzzed off and blew down the street. They weren't there one day, and the next day they'd already done their dirty deeds. Those guys are quick. So I'm going to have to get out there with a lawnmower and do some other things and this, that and the other stuff. The calendar just sneaks up on me. It's strange how that works. So anyway, this has been a very strange and busy week. Some of these things are are indicative of a cultural madness, something weird is going on. The corporate news was absolutely jammed for most of the week with an incident with a basketball owner. I'm sure you heard about this one, didn't you? Yeah, the backstabbers biting the backstabbers. Obviously somebody was doing what we would call a hostile takeover of one of the teams. Well, maybe. It's hard to tell. This 80-year-old guy is a multi-billionaire, owns a basketball team. Apparently he said some fairly unpleasant things to his mistress. He was having a conversation with her and he's saying, I don't care if you run around and be a total trollop and go to bed with all these basketball players and sports jocks and all this kind of good stuff, but, you know, call it in public. Quit showing up to the ballgames and instagramming and all this stuff about how you're running around with the black guys. The corporate press just absolutely flipped out and every politician in sight jumped on him and, you know, what a horrible racist bigot, blah blah blah blah. He should be burned at the stake and so on. And the NBA jumped in and said, oh, you're a band for life and we're going to harass you until you sell with him and so on and so forth. Let's just fill this in real quick and say it this way. How dare you tell your trollop who's been running around to be not running around so much in public with where everybody can see you? And by the way, everybody knows what you're doing. So, grip rubbing their weenie in my face. How's that sound? Right, there's that. And apparently the trollop wasn't getting enough stuff from him. Only a couple of Bentleys and a Range Rover and so on and so forth. And so out of apparent malice recorded this conversation and gave it to some reporter. Naturally the corporate press said, oh well, we love malicious trollops. We're going to go ahead and broadcast a private conversation. Of course, if you do that, that's all wiretapping. If we do it, that's journalism. There's a certain degree of hypocrisy there. The degree of coordination was quite astonishing. Every media outlet jumped all over this thing and so on. It's almost as if somebody issued instructions that they were to do it. I heard only bits and snippets. The bits and snippets that they chose to prove what an evil guy he was sounded to me like he was complaining about the high profile, not about the basic activities. What's more, this is 2014, the guy is 80 years old, he was born around the end of World War II, formed his social attitudes in the late 50s and early 60s and so on. There's a cultural thing about supposedly black males have some sort of attributes that mere mortals can't reasonably aspire to and so on and so forth. When your mistress is running around with them, people will draw inferences from that. I think that's mainly the thing that he was complaining about. At the same time, they just flipped out and screamed at him and so on and so forth. The NBA says, �We're going to find him $2.5 million� and so on and so forth. The very word fine implies government activity. I don't think that I can find you. I can send you a bill. I can send you an invoice. I can charge you something maybe. But I don't think I get to find Mark because I'm not a government. So those guys start acting like a government using the same verbiage and so on and so forth. Just absolutely flipping weird. The other thing that it reminded me of was, can you guess what I might be about to say? A hysterical press activity across the board that blew out of nowhere over a relatively trivial event. Jaja Gabor slaps a cop. Jaja slaps a cop. It sounded to me like Jaja slaps a cop and I was just waiting for something to happen. I haven't seen it. But, you know, maybe that was thrown out there to deflect from the Bundy Ranch or something. It's hard to tell. But it is absolutely nutty that, you know, this thing is going on. And it sure smells like a distraction from something or other. The other thing that was very interesting that came out in the corporate press but much lower profile and in the more adult venues is that I think maybe it was the Financial Times or somebody published an article saying that later on this year China will surpass the United States in its buying power. Here's the really interesting phrase that they used, two years ahead of schedule. Everybody says, �Oh, my goodness!� They said that China is about to surpass the United States in buying power. How did this happen? Isn�t this a big deal? This is not a big deal. This is a big deal. This is not a big deal, back and forth, blah, blah, blah.� They ignore the little phrase about two years ahead of schedule. Now, wait a minute. There�s a schedule. Are you saying that this is planned? That this is a program? That some portion of this is actually deliberate and sequenced out? Interesting, don't you think? In fact, the idea that they put it out there is just to let the fellow travelers know, by the way that they said it, that, hey guys, everything's cool, don't worry here, we're all fine, how are you? By the way, don't worry. Again, the schedule is being mentioned. Exactly. That's the line where you idea, it's the dual message. The average person is supposed to blow by their head. For the characters that are in the know, they can do the wink and the nod routine. We already were told the heads up on this. Really? Wow. And then you're supposed to worship them for that too. But the idea that they let it slip the way they did, I mean somebody engineered the release. Right, this is all according to plan. Our plans are proceeding even better than we reasonably expected. But don't panic at any hiccups in the economy because we're in charge here and we're on track. Exactly. Before you get too far, BK, remember the subject we were talking about in the last hour? I'm going to go ahead and get the phone. Right now strong enough to jam police radios and oh my god, they're drones Yeah, the FCC helped track down this 60 year old man who was driving around with a cell phone jammer in his car Just because he doesn't like people he's texting and talking on the phone driving around him They're arresting me. They said that the technology was probably brought here illegally from outside the country. Well, BK, if that's the case, I gotta laugh because I just went that website that we gave out, alljammers.com. I just found a 320 watt high-powered GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell phone multi-band jammer. That's military grade. It's in the It's ruggedized, it's in the box, it's portable, dad you'd love it. The case has got wheels on all four corners. So you can slide it every which way. Wherever you need to deploy it, it's going to bounce. Yeah, this is the highest top end model that they got though. This one is, what is it, $1,500? Yeah, basically $1,600 because it's got a $999. symbol after the 15 so fun fun but that that's the most expensive one again those the Least expensive car model that we that we see on the page is $95 and then the portable ones that you carry get lower in price But thought was funny is that they have one specifically made for black for blocking lowjack. I wonder what that's for Well, I wonder who would be using it. Yeah. Well, we all know that works Well, the interesting thing is that, you know, again with regard to the technology, it can all be built in-house in the United States with a number of different objects laying around. There's a little piece that's a little spoof piece that somebody put. There's a bunch of spoof stuff on YouTube, don't forget that. But to build a signal or a spark cap generator can be done in a number of different ways with television components being the most readily available and cheap. I've been telling everybody, guys, everyone's throwing out these televisions. They are a powerhouse of technology behind the tube, under the tube as a matter of fact. Everybody needs to be hanging onto that. There's a power supply. You might want to pay attention to the size of those capacitors that are on board. and what they're powering up, well remember that they can power other things up quite nicely too. Not only can they shunt, but if you wanted to, you can make them so they'll permanently shut down whatever they overpower within a certain distance. Something that might be kind of nice in the long run is you know all of your equipment's down, you give everybody the heads up, fump, in an area and all their micro-tech, their headset radios, their handheld radios. any other GPS, all of their car radios, everything's down. In fact, you could wash an area and continue to do so. So that anything that survived the first beam, you know, the first wave, won't survive the second or the third. which is another thing to take into consideration. I don't want them to go anywhere. I want them to stay right where they are when the time comes. So for area ambush or combat operations where they are so hyperdependent upon a constant computer data stream, number one, I pointed out they can be tracked constantly There's not an enemy ground person or a vehicle that can't be tracked 100% 24-7 right now, guys. Well, Dad, one of the things that they said with the news article that they ran down here just before I started my program up in your hour was ending, was that this guy's cellphone jammer jammed all of the cops' radios as soon as they got in range. No! Even their special super squirrel secret Randomly digitized so nobody else can listen in channels were jammed. Well it wouldn't make any difference because what it's going to do is knock out 800 and 900 meg. Remember we've talked, this is the other thing, they got all these cop shops to number one buying to 800 back in the, you know, cell phone. And they knew they shouldn't have. That was to try and take cell phones away from everybody. at least without greater regulation or at least be able to go into and shut things off. That was the agenda. So they went into 800 meg, but everybody started pissing about the idea that, you know, hey, what are you doing messing with my phones? So they went to 900 meg. Well, most all these jammers, you know, you're talking very, very short distance up the bandwidth and no problem encompassing all of those frequencies and more. So yeah, the 900 make data streaming. See that's what I was just talking about. Most of those little nub arrays, you'll notice on many of these cars, they have a series like little nub arrays. They don't have just one antenna now. Oh, I was mistaken, Dad. They actually have the military level stuff available through this website. It's just really expensive. Well, we don't want expensive. We want cheap and disposable. Well, I was looking at ruggedization and being able to jam a big distance. I guess the one I was looking at was like the smallest of those models. Apparently, they go up in size like for jamming the whole prison area. Apparently, that's what these... who's a big purchaser of these guys' equipment is prisons. Right, just in case somebody smuggles in a cell phone through their butt cheeks, which is kind of scary. How did you get this in here? Well, he took that cell phone and he put it someplace. Oh no, he might talk with his lawyer without the wiretap running or something like that. Yeah. Well, actually I will say that cell phones got in behind the line. That's something that most people don't realize and they are in there and they in fact did. I'm sure they got in there right? Is the guards as much as anything to bring them in guys? No, they surely got in by mind powers and teleport and magic because it wouldn't be the guards bringing things in. That's what's been talking about. Can I say something, dad? No, like drugs, cell phones, anything. That could never possibly happen. Well, real quick trick for getting a phone in behind the wire if you need somebody to talk, if you need to get communications to somebody. You could just get to know their routine walking in the yard. Something wrapped in bubble rubber band around it slingshot over the fence to a path and congratulations it's in. Especially in a minimum security prison. Big bungee, actually those balloon bungee cord launchers are perfect for it. I might have just seen something away. And by the way we just described the most common way that they get in from the one end. If they're not, it's a turn of blind eye. Well again, the guards bring everything from dope to anything you can imagine. There is no money behind the wire, so somebody's paying them from outside usually. It is always the case, over and over again. Well, unless you can get them to take little Debbie's. Guys, if you wanted to get a new sell, like a different sellmate, the price was a five pack of Swisher sweets and a box of little Debbie cupcakes. No joke. That's how cheap the gardens are. They're just about as comparably conditioned as the prisoners guys. It's bizarre but it's true and it happens all the time. Actually that one reminds me of another weird story that they ran in the corporate press this week. Apparently they botched an execution. Some guy is in a total piece of dirt, raped and killed a 19 year old girl and so on, was up for execution and they stuck him and they went through the ritual with all of the three chemicals and so on. Apparently they botched it and he was flopping around and gasping and choking for 43 minutes and finally died of a heart attack. and the corporate press is going on and on about, oh well they aren't sure what chemicals to use and the pharmaceutical companies aren't selling those specific chemicals because of political pressure and blah blah blah and so on and so forth. All of this is absolutely pathetic. First off, the basic problem is not the technology of killing somebody. The basic problem is that we don't have our best and brightest running prisons. And instead, we have people that want to run prisons, who are the absolute last people who ought to be running prisons. Is anybody who would want to do that job? One reason I argue for rotating staff on a regular basis, you run a lot of regular people through and you just do some catwalk type stuff and nobody gets exposed to that environment for very long, but that's a whole different rant. My observation is that every day thousands of pets and livestock are put down by veterinarians without incident. All you have to do is ask some veterinarian what's his recipe for putting down an injured horse. I guarantee you that will work and probably be considerably more humane than what they're doing in a prison. There is absolutely no reason, no matter what recipe you use, to perform this bizarre, twisted, perverted, ritual, pseudo-crucifixion thing that they always do with the X-shaped table and all of that blah blah. It's just twisted and sick and disgusting. That's a symbolism thing going on again. Yeah, and nobody even questions that totally twisted symbolism stuff. I mean, give me a break. If you really wanted to do it, some of these guys might choose to go out with some dignity and you hand them a pill and you say, okay, we'll be back in an hour. If you're still breathing, then we'll do it the hard way. But I mean, the whole thing is just dumb. A couple of other things here in line with the stories that are being generated. Remember the one problem they've got there, trying to figure out how to crack the Bundy situation. And yeah, there's all kinds of people yapping about it. But one of the reasons for putting all these other inane stories and spending a massive amount of time on them. I mean, again, how many other things have slipped through the cracks or how many things are actually going on in any given area? The propaganda piece about the sports, the sports, to me, other than just looking at it and going, okay, well, the booths are biting amongst themselves. They found an excuse to obviously slide this over to somebody else. It's the kosher mafia biting the kosher mafia. So this is the old story, everybody said, well if they were all in control, we'd have peace. No, you'd have the traditional monarchical game of feud on feud. It would be no different, it would be the same Shister's different day. It's why again, if they were to get everything they wanted, they would be totally dissatisfied and you'd see more BS like this because then again for a while, they'd be so frustrated they'd start chewing amongst themselves. Then eventually they'd get tired of that and realize they have to loosen up their reins in order to create entertainment for themselves and so they allow for things to shift a little bit. But that's basically what, you know, again, it's a total distraction. It's in sports to begin with. But it is something to take a note of, like you said, because of what it's, you know, what is it serving? What is it doing? And again, the people that are attracted to it, as far as, I mean, in our circles, we've been watching reality, things that are really going on that are critical to private property, etc. If you think about it, once again, it's over in the sports arena, too. The bread and circuses, spheroid and sphere worship, you know, category. and that should tell us something by itself. That's a big flier in and of itself. Anyway, a couple things I want to touch on here real quick before anything else jump in there with this subject. Yeah, we have some stuff. I'm going to give Ed the five minute warning. I want to cover a little bit of stuff here first and then I have a launch into. Yeah, okay, very good. Here we go. I'll remind people, BG Micro, Bravo Golf Micro. This is the outfit that we called out a while back. They had a load of CR123A lithium batteries. Looks like they got a new load of these things. And the price has gone back to what they were when we were originally yelling about them. So they have CR123A lithium primary batteries, Panasonic branded. They have something on the order of a thousand of them in stock. And the price has gone back to 99 cents a piece if you buy one or two or three. They are listing them as $10 for $7.50, but what they really mean is $10 or more at $0.75 a piece. These are lithium batteries. They've still got five or six years on them. They're marked shelf life 2020, which is as good as or better than anything else, even though several years of the lithium shelf life is expended. These are the batteries that are used in a lot of night vision equipment, a lot of night vision illuminators, some of the high performance tactical flashlights, some radios, so on and so forth. These are very, very useful batteries, very long shelf life, good power density. Normally you will pay anywhere from $2 to $4 a piece for these batteries. These are available right now at BG Micro, that is bravogolfmicro.com. They are at 99 cents a piece and 75 cents a piece if you buy 10 or more. So that is a bargain. I pounced on some of these the first time around. When they got a little low, the price went up. These guys got another shipment apparently and they've dropped the price back down to what they were the first time around. So I encourage anybody who might conceivably have a use for these or thinks he might run into somebody that has some night vision or might acquire some night vision or whatever the case is, stock some of these guys. This is Abe Bargan. Excellent. And again, we're looking at the idea of being able to build up inventory, guys. There's two reasons for doing this, too. And we're already seeing a good example we've been warning everybody about here. Number one, personal storage and personal support. But remember also if we can, the 510 program means that we're issuing out or handing material out to support allies. And probably the best example of that is what we're seeing with the Bundy situation. Yes, I'm harping back on that. A reminder that if we have material support on hand, we're not pressed. When we find stuff that's cheap, we pile it up. When the time comes that we might need to draw on the inventory, then we have the ability to do so because we have extra spares, reserves, material support in place so that we can actually share out and focus material slash energy where it needs to be. Go ahead, BK, please. Sorry, I was distracted. I took on dealing recently with administrative stuff in Channel. So, let's see, oh yeah, okay. So, we did the CR123A's. There is another vendor that I like to check sometimes, it stimulates my geeky glands, not so tactical, but sometimes maybe a little bit. Goldmine Electronics, you can find these at goldmine-elec.com, if you type that in it will go to a slightly longer URL, but goldmine-elec.com will get you there. Every week they have a sale on something or other and some of the sales are worthwhile and some of them are not. Sometimes these guys ask way too much for their stuff and they probe around to see how much they can get and then if they're not moving they drop the price a little bit. If they move then you know they vanish. You have to decide whether you're interested in something at a particular price, wait and see, see if it vanishes, see if it gets cheaper, whatever the case may be. The current batch of sales have a few interesting items. One of the items they have is a 10 watt LED plate offered at $4 a piece. That is actually a little bit cheaper than you will find for these 10 watt LED plates on DX.com. Those generally will run $7 or $8 a piece. And what's more, these are already in the US, so it's not going to take 2 to 4 weeks to arrive. So, goldmine-elec.com, one of the items that they have on sale at the moment is a 10 watt white LED plate. Now these guys are designed to work at 9 to 12 volts. You do not want to let them spike up to 13 or 14 like an automotive power supply will do. You will probably kill them at that level. If you're running them off of batteries that's fine. If you're going to run them off of something more variable than that you probably want to put a little voltage regulator in series or a thermistor or something. You want to rig some sort of circuit to prevent these guys from overcurrenting. You also will need to attach them to some variety of heat sink, whether you're sticking it to the side of a steel drum full of water and you're just using the mass or whether you're going to fix a little PC CPU cooler to the back or whatever it is you're going to do. You have to have some sort of heat sinking for these guys because they will burn themselves up even at 10 watts. That being said, these little 10 watters are incredibly bright. If you dial one up on your bench, you will be reminded of the old days when you as a kid turned around at the wrong moment, looked into the a slide projector that dad was showing vacation pictures. I mean you're going to have the purple dots all over the place and so on and so forth. These are very, very bright, almost point sources. The emitter is about a half an inch square, more or less a very sound. Now consider this, not only is this efficient lighting if you are off grid, and it's not electrically noisy if your power supply is quiet. But also, think about this, if some hostel is coming through the door or coming down a hallway or coming around a corner and suddenly a few of these things blink on, that is just like staring into floodlights. That is going to ruin their performance levels. Staring into the sunlight, that is not fun and it is not conducive to marksmanship, quick reactions, so on and so forth. These things being so small even if somebody opens up on the lights, it's going to take them a lot of tries to hit one and they're going to be busy doing that while the defenders have more coherent things to do. I think that plain visible light of this intensity and brightness and small size have some tactical utility. Do you have comments on that pie? No, I'll keep running going, please. Okay, another item at Electronic Gold Mine. They're offering a half-watt flashlight. This is a little pen light style flashlight. It just rides around in your pocket. It uses a single AA battery. It's got a half-watt single LED in the end. 99 cents. Now that's a very, very good price for these things. These are not what you're going to want to use for flooding an area. They are a pen light. They're just a very, very good pen light. Nice and bright. They survive a fair amount of handling and use. A AA battery is extremely common. The key to this is that a lot of people are always trying to get $5, $6, $7 for these things, which is quite ridiculous. $0.99, they are an excellent choice. We have said in the past, everybody ought to have a cutting tool. a great deal. Well, one of the things about those two, again, for the price, like you said, those could go into a cache quite nicely. I would just bag them up or box them up accordingly. Well, can't container them, tube them up so they're individually stored. The big thing is keeping them away from obviously oxidation slash moisture. But otherwise, those are priceless down the road. And again, energy efficient on top of everything else. Go ahead. Yeah, worthwhile cash items. Okay, and a third item at Gold Mine. They've had these for a while and they've made some, rather in my opinion, optimistic offers on these in the past. And obviously they have either not moved very well or they had a ton of them. They are once again offering this cloth adhesive tape in rolls, but this time they're offering five rolls for $3. They have asked as much as $2 or $3 a roll for these things, sometimes a buck and a quarter a roll, you know, so on and so forth. Now it's five rolls for $3 for a limited time. This is supposed to be high temperature tape. What we don't know is the manufacturing date. Sometimes tape like this, that is old stock, does not adhere very well. We're taking a gamble. I don't have a sample of this to play with. But there's a good chance this is useful stuff. So at $3 for five rolls, I would be inclined to give this a gamble. This is a utility tape, insulating tape, rubberized fabric, and supposed to be reasonably high temperature resistance, three quarter inch wide, 100 feet long. So these are not enormous rolls. They say worth over $14 a roll. Well, that's high retail price for brand fresh stock. We're looking at a surplus liquidation inventory of unknown age. So, I would not even think about spending $14 on one of dubious vintage But at $3 for five rolls, I'd be inclined to give this one a flyer, try it out, see how it works, calibrate it a little bit. And if it passes muster, drop these guys in zip locks so they don't get all manky and soaked with oil and things. And drop those into old boxes and glove boxes and that sort of stuff as a utility asset. Very good. What's, again, cost on those? 5 rolls for $3. So, in other words, buyer beware is dangerous in this day and age. It might put you out of business. Right. Well, you have to be cautious. Who is it, Centerfire or somebody still sells those old... The Krusty Goats and that. ...that are all crunchy and dry and everything. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Before we go on to another topic, one of our friends informs me that I should point out that Bass Pro A sporting goods chain has for a long time on a slightly spotty but relatively consistent basis had reloading components when we were hunting around the other vendors and not finding very much. Now their prices are retail type prices. Primers they want four and a half dollars per hundred, thirty eight dollars per thousand and these are for mixed random brands at Remington, Federal, Winchester and so on. Most of the vendors we favor want $38 only for CCI. CCI seems to be sticking them up kind of hard and less than that for the other brands. Bass Pro being a little higher price, being a brick and mortar retail store and so on is going for that extra little bit of retail margin but the good news is that they tend to have something The other thing I am told is that they have frequently and usually have reloader 17, 19 and 20 on hand. The 17 is the stuff that you would want for a 308. The 19 is getting a bit slower than that, maybe auteur and heavy belted magnums. The 20 is very, very slow powder. We have a lot of choices in very slow powder. We don't have very much in the medium speed. So the 17 is the stuff that people would really want to look at. And the bad news there is that they carry one pound cans at $33 or $34 a piece, which is far from my idea of a desirable price. But if you have nothing and you need something, then I suppose that's something. So we'll run that one out so that people are aware if they're really hard update they might want to check bass pro for that uh... any any last comments before we go forward what's that uh... is this being offered by just regionally or do we know if it's actually on the national cross board for best for Because they have shops all over the place. Right, they have shops all over and my impression is that in general the stores have these lines and these prices. Your store may vary and it's a little spotty, they'll sell out, they'll get back in stock, this sort of thing. At higher prices they tend, they're going to be less likely to sell out than outfits that offer something that we consider more reasonable. The last ones to have inventory are the ones that want the most. This is routine in retailing. The point being that this isn't a vendor that I would normally have looked to and I am a little disappointed in the cost, but that is an available supply. Ed, I requested a little bit of music and Ed has it all cued up. We're back. That has become BK's theme music for a particular topic. Regular listeners will be familiar with what I'm about to say, but bear with me because there will be something new. I would like to remind old listeners and introduce new listeners to a little bit of history that is not talked about very much. Back in the 90s, the feds ran a series of exercises that they called Operation Falcon. They ran these more or less once a year, but at somewhat irregular intervals, five or six times. What the exercise consisted of was instructing local police departments to hold off on a bunch of arrest warrants for a while, mostly lots of petty stuff like failure to meet with a parole officer, child support payments, things of this sort, saving up a bunch of these warrants until they had a great big pile of them. And then when they had initially a few thousand and they scaled this exercise up in subsequent cycles to something on the order of 20,000. When they had thousands of these warrants sitting around unserved, then they ran the exercise of sweeping up every warm body they could get in a uniform, making them a federal marshal for a day, and then sending them out all simultaneously against all of these targets at three in the morning and grabbing all these people out of their houses and arresting them, dragging them down to the cop shop, and in most cases, turning them immediately loose. The propaganda at the time was that this is a shock and awe, a terror raid that will strike fear into the hearts of the criminal class and make the the women and children and grandmas sleep soundly in their beds from now on. That, of course, was propaganda and lies. Not all propaganda is lies, that one is. What that was, in my opinion, was not a tactical exercise. They weren't going after hardcore guys. It was not an investigative exercise. They weren't hunting down people whose location was not known. What they were doing is they were putting together a great big enemies list of people whose names and addresses and so on are known. They know perfectly well where to meet, where to find Joe Blow. He lives at 123 Main Street. And they just hid his house at 3 in the morning and grabbed him out of his you know warm, comfy little bed and drag them off to the cop shop for a little while. The point of this exercise is a data processing exercise. This is how do you organize an enemy's list sort and sift that list, cross index by addresses and so on, divide that list up by locale and issue the information, the instructions to 50 or 1000 different locations and assign officers A and B to this warrant and officer C and B to that warrant and so on and coordinate the whole thing so that they all strike at the same time. When they did it the first time, of course, they announced there was a big success and then they did it again. And they announced there was a big success and they did it again and so on and so forth. Eventually they stopped doing it. I think the final couple of cycles were actually successful from a data processing and organizational point of view. This was long enough ago that by now almost everybody that has participated will not be on the streets anymore. Some of them will have gotten honest jobs, some of them will have gotten promoted, some of them will have retired, some of them will have been run over by city buses, whatever the case may be. So the value of this thing, if it were to strike fear into the hearts of the criminal class, would be obtained only if they ran it periodically, but they haven't been running periodically. Why not? Well, I think that software doesn't go stale as long as the platforms they ran it on, probably Linux boxes, are still available. They can run the same software and do the same procedures again. So they met their purpose. They figured out how to run a mass distributed terror rate against a large list of soft targets of known location, more or less simultaneously. Just the sort of thing that you want to do if you are planning to do a night of the long knives operation, that is make an enemy's list of political opponents and then someday just jump on them and sweep them all up before there is time for them to respond for the population and say, hey wait, this is wrong. We're not going to do this if you roll into our neighborhood and people are going to start backing their cars out of the driveway, blocking the streets and getting their hunting rifles and dealing with this Gestapo rate. That part we have discussed previously. Now here's the new part. One of the news stories that they ran out in the last week or two, but did not make a big fuss over, is that Eric Holder, our favorite attorney general, has announced the new intention. His intention is to identify some tens of thousands of current prisoners who were sentenced to excessive terms for relatively minor or nonviolent offenses, usually drug offenses. and to commute their sentences whenever they got ridiculously long-term for stuff that other people are sentenced to much less. If it's a routine to give somebody two or three years for something and Joe Blow got 20 years, well, Eric Holder wants to commute his sentence. We could say, oh, wow, this just means that the saintly Mr. Holder has suddenly grown a conscience. The legal system has suddenly decided that it's not interested in manufacturing prison bonds on tens of thousands of relatively innocent people. The system is turning over a new leaf and reforming itself and becoming more honest. If you believe that, I have a bridge for sale. On the other hand, we can look at that and we can put two and two together. We can think about Operation Falcon and the sort of operation that it was intended to prepare for. And we could say, hmm, Eric Holder wants to clear out space in the prisons on the order of tens of thousands of spots. The Bush administration running Operation Falcon practiced sweeping up tens of thousands of political enemies all at once. I wonder if these two things might be in some way connected. Mueller? And most likely it is because again we've seen this in the past. This is the kind of stuff that they were doing with the Carter, Carter, with the Clinton administration in the early and middle 90s. and they openly said that they were, you know, the big plan, remember, was that they were going to try and do a series of roundups utilizing both FEMA and existing encampment or prison facilities. Yeah, I spoke wrongly. I think that was during Clinton when they ran Falcon. One operation is to practice sweeping up tens of thousands of people. Another operation, which is announced and presumably underway as we speak, is to make space for tens of thousands of people. Exactly. One of the things here too to remember is Holder has any kindness for anybody out there. Look at that character's face. He's a sniveling bureaucrat to begin with and they really, really, really don't care for us. So it's not that they have some attack of heart. It's that they want to re-engineer whatever bombs indentured service. So, if they have to release 10,000 and then put 10,000 in, there's no net gain there. What they're doing is they're replacing random criminals with political opponents. Now one of the things here to remember too is if they do this, one of the things to watch is the demographic of area of release. Now the Fed system doesn't care because they'll ship you all the way across the country for whatever excuse purely to fill a bed or to punish you. But in the initial demographics for you know the clearing would help to you know identify areas of activity because They either are going to have it they have to have a criteria for you know the combination of court rulings you know this happened back in the Middle aughts the Fed did lose a series of court cases very quietly they didn't tell anybody about and it had to do with sentencing guidelines and literally tens of thousands of prisoners in Michigan had their sentences cut in half. It was because of excessive sentencing. The problem is they never fixed many of them that shouldn't even have been in prison who were being held for ridiculous amounts of time and were slipping through the cracks who had more than served time comparable to individuals who were sentenced under the common sense guidelines later. There was a bunch of transition periods that took place and they never fixed those. I had to work in a bunch of court cases and in fact I can say I got a few people out who spent 25-30 years in prison for activities that should have been, you know, two or three. One of them was the gas can incident I've talked about. Well these aren't cases like that. Chances are that they're going to either acquiescing on a family of to do this In other words, there's court cases that are in motion, there's lawsuits that are winning. So what they're going to do is to save time, money, and because they have another agenda, they're acquiescing to a particular category of prisoner. And that can be in a particular crime category, guys. In 05-05, it had to do with drug case sentencing. And literally, they had to go through hundreds per block. hundreds of records and some people were, it was a matter of how long it took to do the paperwork, it meant immediate release. In other words, they were told they had 72 hours to, you know, they had to first of all, purview the records. identify those who were to be released immediately and then they had 72 hours to get them out of the prison wall or they could be sued and then they would be charged so many thousand dollars per day for wrongful incarceration. So these characters had to call extra people in BK, they had to really run around like chickens with their heads cut off. And in many cases what it also did is change the security rating for many, many, many prisoners. By the very fact that the guidelines were reduced the way that they were, it shuffled the board across all of the different categories for security. Which is another thing that people don't realize. If you have level 1 through level 4, level 1 being minimum, with to a degree gate passes, level 4 maximum, then those are two different worlds and if they slide that all down, they've got so much more space in the maxes and the IMAXs for stowing people away. Which is what I'm doing with this. There's the music. Let's wrap it up. But with one last comment. Secure your perimeters, gang. You're the target zone. That's right. The bad guys out west are flustered. Look at all the BS we see. The pickle, smoke, and mirrors being generated. And none of it's working for them. They are getting frustrated. Very frustrated. 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. Ooh, Raw. We'll be back again Monday, but meanwhile, Steve Frost here for the weekend. Our guy's headed out to Nevada. Y'all be careful on the road. Thank you, BK. You're welcome. Membership yet?

That's one of the problems. What surprised me if there was anacondas in the Everglades? Oh yeah, by the time we're done right now, they already did run into them. That's been about eight years ago. That was in the news for a bit where they ran into one of the bigger pythons that probably somebody had let go and they just let it go into its environment and it let go with regard to a feeding frenzy because of how old food it needed. As far as growing, you have to figure out how many more did you find or how many more don't you know about. The population density, reptiles especially, I've been talking about the turtles the same way. Go to town, cage them in an area where they are able to populate in an area untouched. They will repopulate very quickly with no predator problems. And especially if they're of a little higher class, you know, a larger creature, they're dominant. They don't have too much to worry about other than Mr. Croc-A-Gator. You know, the alligator out there is the only thing that they have is competition. And the alligator better get them when they're small. Of course alligators aren't a tiny baby either. There's lots of tires in that alligator alley. One of my aunts was talking about that. They did the trip down there and she was complaining because of all the tires that they saw thrown in the swamps when they drove down alligator alley over to the west side east side of the state. Right guys? Well as my dad pointed out he said, those weren't tires, those were alligators. It's why they call it alligator alley guys for a reason. Speaking of alligators, we had animal rights come out and say we were mean because we did have an alligator. He left us alone and he left us alone and all that stuff until a northern couple started feeding the alligator. We said that's it. We got a trapped gator and take him out. You can either trap him and have him hauled away or whatever. It's not a big deal. It takes care of the problem. The alligator was something everybody used to be really worried about. I think he would make a good guard dog. I'm looking for one, George. If you find one again, let me know. Yeah. I'd make a good suitcase or boots for you. Well, that's down the road. Remember, you think ahead. And gator steak and gator... Remember, jerked gator is awfully tasty, guys. Gatorjurk is out there. Yeah, we got a guy here that does Gatorjurk. Actually, that was, Shelley finally took me down to Galveston last weekend and found a really cool military surplus store. It reminded me of the one we used to go to over in Jackson. That's been there a long time. They had a lot of the Mollie gear and some of the other stuff that came from Sturm. I found the Sturm tag on it. I asked him, you get any other stuff from Sturm? I don't know. Then it's like, and of course, dealing with the stern, they put their own tags on the stuff once it comes over here, and sure enough, there were stern tags on a lot of the uniforms I was looking at. But one of the new shops that they had down there by where Shelley works is a jerky shop, and one of the type of jerkies that they had was Alligator. Gator jerky, num, num, num. And probably, let's see, what's the other one? Oh, well, of course, Snapping Turtle Jerky, we have that up here too. And then, well, the emu, since the emus are being bred now, along with the ostrich, so... I've always wanted to cook. I've always wanted to buy a butchered ostrich for a Thanksgiving meal. Just once. Everybody loves turkey. I don't know what we cook it in, but... Something else that we had happened today, dad, you know, we were talking about, we were actually talking about turkeys and the wild turkeys that Shelly saw while she was up in our state, and we went over to Walmart today between the hours where we were down, because we had to take the cat to the vet, and sure enough, in the parking lot of Walmart, somebody had a turkey on the loose, and Shelly goes, that's a duck! I go, no, stop, that's a turkey. She goes, it's a duck! And then it gobbled at her. Well, we have wild turkey here in Mass right now, guys, and that's another one of those populations that's on the upswing. All you do is plant them and keep feeding them, and amazingly enough, you get more food down the road. We have them parading around the corn field here right now scavenging because the corn, from the corn, the snow is gone. We're past the top of the yard, Dad. The harvester never gets all the corn. Dad, we're past the top of the yard. I'm going to bump you.
