Mark Koernke discussed underwater military technology and submarine sonar operations, including concerns about whale and dolphin strandings potentially caused by military acoustic systems. He then pivoted to night vision equipment sales and tactical deployment, covering first, second, and third generation devices with pricing and specifications. The show featured extensive discussion of improvised illumination techniques using salvaged flashlights and LEDs for tactical purposes, light-based ranging markers, and defensive positioning strategies. A significant portion addressed tactical engagement scenarios, including analysis of a British sniper's multi-target kill and detailed discussion of how to neutralize armed law enforcement units through superior firepower positioning and ammunition selection.
Live 365 Over 50,000 preppers have chosen to stretch their fuel storage by harnessing the power of the sun with sun ovens. Food can be baked, boiled, or steamed year-round at temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees. Sun ovens are the most energy efficient way to cook freeze-dried food storage and can be used as solar dehydrators or water purifiers. Thousands of preppers regularly use sun ovens and have found they quickly pay for themselves by reducing utility bills. Sun-cooked foods stay moisture and never burn. Sun-baked roasts are succulent and sun-baked bread has unparalleled taste and texture. For 28 years, sun ovens have been proudly made in the U.S. They're durable, have a long life, and have 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors. So their children and people, your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight if he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is to still the land of the free and okay, I and good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report i'm mark working and i'm done better one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east and uh... nor well you don't mean you're listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com we are on AM and FM micro stations CB base stations Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com and alternate 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 headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma big chunk of Nebraska a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third the fifth the pit and our friends in the Recall, state of Colorado, waving the left coast where 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 land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the mob belt, grandma 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, they what it has been a really beautiful day here in Michigan down at this end Anyway, what's it like up in your neck of the woods and what's jumping off the wall there in the greater northern part of Michigan? Well, we got that sunny gray sky You know how that is. It's just like it wants to shine but it wants to get a little grayer and that's only rolled in in the last hour other than other than that it was a beautiful day today this the 19th day of May, year of our Lord 2014. Beautiful day. A bit breezy just hey we're going to hold 70 some degrees tomorrow for certain and across the next few days. So it's like spring is here now. Hooray! Again the 19th day of May. Victoria Day in Canada. if you live in Canada, Happy Victoria Day. They named that after a queen. At any rate, the fish kill, all of the things. There are a whole bunch of different places to run. There is another thought line though. When the dolphins all come ashore, it's like, Mark, the question comes up. Would our military, what would happen if? The answer is, well, it goes on and it's been going on for eons. But now the other thing is, how close do we get? We have things that are in the oceans that we really shouldn't deploy unless we really are at war. I'm not talking about nuclear weapons. I'm talking about you can be in a submarine in the ocean and know to a great because the surface like the dome of stratosphere for a radio. You can literally listen to stuff around the world if you have the keen ear, so to speak, and if it is in a frequency that will carry around the world. But when they light these things off, it's like we need to know where that submarine is now. That's a fallacy when he stands up to the periscope and he looks at his sonar operator and he says one ping only. He's running the sonar. The sonar can be turned down to the extent that you can just whisper it out. Granted, it will be heard by the other side, but it won't be heard miles and miles away. Most of the American and most of the Russian nuclear subs now carry, detect that when they ring that bell so that whales can hear it on the other side of the earth and so can enemy submarines. It's like a searchlight because searchlights work both ways, don't they? They can bring your opponent to bear on the battlefield, but as soon as a searchlight comes up on the battlefield, what does it become a target? You can do this and this will happen more and more and I wouldn't doubt it's happening now. We talk about drones in the air. We've talked about drones and mechanical things. But if I was kind of smart and if I was an admiral who had any kind of mechanical ability, I would not even deploy any of that sounding gear directly from a submarine. I'd deploy it from a torpedo and then on very limited range relay the information gathered back to the submarine that sent out the torpedo. So you'd know he's in the general area, but not exactly where. When they ring these, so to speak, underwater, because it's not just one ping and it's just not like if a person You know, Mark, the big sperm whales, it's said that they can emit something and dolphins can emit a sound through the forward of their skull that will stun their prey and even stun giant squid. Something of flesh and blood in front of these emitters would just simply be puddled in the water in front. It would just be torn apart by the energy being emitted into the water. This is the sea we're going back to. It took a bit to get around. It took a bit of swimming to get here. But when you hear of the dolphins coming ashore or of whales that just won't go back into that water, it makes you wonder what did they hear. It's not about red tide or it's not about this bacteria or something else. The giant squid chased them into that. They're trying to grow legs. It doesn't work like that. But when you see examples of this, you have to understand that the war is going on under the oceans at the same time. And sometimes, you know, I was standing in my backyard in Detroit in about 1991, 1992 in the springtime for certain. I heard this rumble and I heard more of a rumble and I started to look in the area and it got louder and louder and I looked right directly at because the noise became so specific from its direction. I watched a big ugly flying thing, you know the other words for that. A B-52, some call them buffs, fly directly over the house I was living in about 85 to 100 feet, the bottom of the airplane off the ground. And it rattled windows when it went over. But they were doing that exercise about how do we fly Napa the Earth right over a city? Like what if it was outskirts of Kiev or something only? This was outskirts of Detroit. But sometimes they'll knock these. We could have saved this thought for Communications Tuesday. But sometimes they will run exercises. Well, let's see if this still works. But sometimes you wonder how close if, and it's not an if. Because this technology exists. But when they bring to bear something like this that is so superior to what we know as sonar, you wonder what's going on under there and you wonder how close. We sat and watched through the Turkish build-up before that. Most of America didn't know what brought that about. Can you say, Long John? Now, you know, we talk about, you might think that while we're starting to talk in circles, but there is a reason for this also. example of what's going on in things that we do not see, but might be the dagger war happening every other day or every other month or once or twice a year. We could talk about a couple of American submarines that are on the bottom now, or a Russian submarine or two that's on the bottom, and you'll wonder how they got there. I didn't really plan on going this way, Mark, but the couple of thought lines brought this up just before the hour. So there could have been a little more reason for, or a little more flesh to this, but it only examples the dagger wars. It's like, let's get in this airplane and fly to Korea, South Korea. Only we end up flying over Russia and up come the MiGs and shoot down the 747. Who was on board that airplane? We've addressed this in so many different ways in all of these different examples over the years. covert right out there, headlines, front, you know, they, two and two and what's, I can't remember the type of the print, this big, big headline, what the number is. It's number 12 print or something like that. But you know, super huge, big, big headlines or something in the back page that you know is almost hidden like it's a retraction or something that this happened and because of. So again, it's an ongoing thing and you know, it It just gets a little deeper when it takes more than the jawbone of an ass. The technology changes, humanity hasn't. Mark, I yield to you, sir. One of the things you forgot to mention is, just real quick, let's go back. Everybody heard of giant squid. Guys, let's remember that contrary to the propaganda which Seetos back and forth, they've been finding some monsters. recently, whether it's the radiation from, you know, Fukazilla, who knows, but it's over in the Atlantic side, and Donna, I don't remember here just this last, you know, fall. They had one of the record, you know, giant calamari slash giant squid pulled in, I think it was what, 60 to 70 feet long at least. And it was smelling guys. In fact, they figured it was probably a little bigger but it had been nude on and gnawed on here and there. They thought to save it. Actually, it was interesting the way they found it. They were going to save it and then there were two groups fighting over keeping it. And in the process, they were actually going to toss it out. It's just kind of interesting. Just a little case in point there, guys. What Dom was saying, they really are giant squid. And they challenge all the other animals of the sea, just like all of the other animals of the sea challenge each other. Let's not forget that's part of that natural process of, you know, things. It's like in Africa, Don, everything dies of old age, doesn't it? Oh, you mean Africa, where nothing dies of old age. The ocean is no different. This is true. If you get slow enough, something will eat you. It's just how it works. Bigger, smaller, and indifferent. Sometimes lots of little ones. Let's not forget the inland piranha. Now, before we go any farther, we're almost at the bottom of the hour, Don. I want to do this. Night vision technology. Our guys are using it. A little confusion about the deployment out west. I think we're okay on that. Everybody's in place and in motion. If, for whatever reason, something was sent to us about a month ago, or the beginning of the month anyway, which everybody's been coming and going from the Bundy Ranch, I don't see any change there. In fact, even back when that was said, that was part of this confusion thing, I think, gentlemen and ladies, where the bad guys were trying to, again, block people or personnel into the hopes that they can catch everybody with their pants down in fewer numbers. Pretty much everybody stayed in contact, deployed, did their part. Well, night vision technology is playing a role in operations. So we need more of it deployed. We need you people to have it in hand. Don has it available while you're dealing with a stranger when you can deal with a friend. And that's the person here. So Don, night vision technology, you have it. What's available? Looking at second, and I know third is pricey, but mention it only because there are people out there listening who actually can't afford it. It's not us, but hey, if you've got the resources, run with that puppy. That's all I've got to say. Go ahead, please. Well, we've got that first generation gun site that a whole bunch of people took delivery of, and there's just a couple more waiting. I can still do that for 375 right to your mailbox. from $400 because of a bulk purchase that recently happened. You all know about that. You heard about it. We did it. We can still hold that price. We can talk about a second generation device that's .308 capable. I can do that in third generation also. There's a conversion going on right now between an older body and the new body. I'm kind of caught up in a problem with that. But you guys, it's just a matter of you want this or do you want that magnification. That will be settled out here in the next 24 hours or so. Again, we can go 2, 4, 6 power magnification. I would recommend if you're going out to 6 power that that be for certain a third generation tube backing it up because you're losing a lot of ambient light to the tube even if it is a bigger front lens to get that 6 power magnification. Two and four power is more than enough magnification at night. We've addressed this a number of times. Generation device is two and a half power. The second generation device entry level there is two power flat. But again, you don't need huge amounts or you won't see it for... Once you want to carry out, carry around a front lens that's a couple feet across and a few yards away from your device. That's the only way you're going to get, you know, great, great light gathering capability to make like 20 power or 30 power practical in a night vision tube. It isn't real practical in those dimensions, is it? I rest my case there. You guys, we've got a 2.5 power first generation gun sight. It'll hold up on your M1. It'll live on top of your FN FAL. I can put it in your mailbox for $375. We've addressed this deal for a good little while now. I can still hold that price. That second generation gun sight you guys right now, $1,300 right in your mailbox, I can do that. Let's see about, I have some people calling about, can we do a gang purchase on that? I don't know what the number would be, I'll have to talk with my guy. I'm waiting on a call from him today. At any rate, you guys, if you want to talk to me about night vision, my number is 231-796-8458. We haven't done this in a while, but while we are on this subject, but you don't pass up any dead holes of flashlights, do you? You don't watch them go to the grinder or to the recycle shop, do you? If they have a battery containment and a reflector and perhaps an on-off switch that works, maybe it was thrown out because the bulb was bad, maybe it was thrown out because the on-off switch doesn't work. You can fix that, can't you? If need be, the on-off switch could be replaced with hmm... clamping things... clothesline clips... when something is removed from it while the light is turned on. Oh my gosh! Now, again, you're not throwing out any dead flashlight bodies, are you? Because right there you've got most of the components of a forward deployable dirt-cheap illuminator that would be very compatible with first second or even third or fourth generation. Talk along these lines you have to think about. We've addressed this before. I've led us into this alley so I don't want to just leave you hanging in a lurch, so to speak. When we forward deploy, that means someone closing on that area with a piece of night vision and you can expect it eventually. How does that go? It might even be Shakespeare. To be sure. Eventually, someone will want to see what's going on in that neighborhood if you put up a light. It might not be one night. It might be three nights. It might be a week and a half. But eventually, now, someone, if you deploy a light to an area and you stand off and watch that light, you're hoping for people who don't have night vision to kind of walk into that area, right? You might be hoping for wildlife to walk into that area. There's another reason to pre-forward deploy. You might be looking at an area and gee wildlife or a moose two-legged or four. That wire and the aforementioned dead flashlight which was now pre-deployed at the cost of less than five dollars, lights up an area over there. When someone else is moving through that area with a piece of night vision and all of a sudden they find themselves in an area like that. That's like They find themselves in a minefield. They find themselves in a tangle of barbed wire because they know what they're in. If they have half a brain still firing, the other half is saying, like the Klingon captain, get out, get out, because that's a kill zone. Now, if they're approaching that and looking at that light, they look at it like barbed wire. If you're inside it, it's like a minefield. You don't know which way to go. You just need to know. You need to get out of there. If you're approaching it, you look at it like barbed wire or you look at it like those stakes that say, oxtone, mine, attention, mines. Generally, they aren't very polite anymore and they don't do that. But if someone is moving into your area with a piece of night vision, they will generally avoid that lighted area. It's a basic, it's human survival. I'm not going to go into it. Because when they lower their device and they don't see any light with their human eye, they'll know that someone is overlooking that area with a piece of night vision. They are going to want to skirt that area in order to find the people that are overlooking the area. See how that works? See how a light mine or a light minefield or a light trap or a light Alarm like that could be very helpful even in moving people who are kind of clever and you know have their own night vision. At any rate, you're not throwing out dead flashlight bodies are you? Hey, we're right to the bottom of the hour here. You guys, if you want to talk to me about night vision after the top for a moment or throughout the evening until 8 o'clock, my number is 231-796-8458. If you want to call after 9 tonight, my number is 231-796-8458. Thank you Mark. The Gen 1s are more than adequate for pretty much the majority of what we do in the areas of operation we have here because of limited range with regard to intermediate, short to intermediate activities. Remember, I'm using a couple of little gnomes that are actually older models, one with very simple optics, guys. But that's not the only technology we have and overlapping and using the different systems we can enhance dramatically either a defense or offensive capabilities depending upon the situation. Initially making contact, they attack you, eventually you're hunting them. And in the process during that phase, remember, battlefield pickups, if you already know how to use basic equipment, having some experience, you can hand off the first gen to somebody else if you're familiarizing yourself with second and third. Progressively, you can feel that almost instantly provided again it's a straightforward model. Something unique or strange or exotic. Like we said, don't hit the switch if you don't know what you're doing. But a lot of the equipment is pretty straightforward. And if you pull off their corpse or off their helmet off their corpse or off the web set that they're wearing to put it on their equipment or have it on their weapon, just pick their weapon up and keep running on using it on. on their own. It's that simple. Move it, turn it around, put the muzzle on the enemy, and use the optics available. So it's pretty straightforward, especially in a counter offensive action to neutralize the threat with the weapons that it provided and brought forward. Now you can turn them around and move them in the direction they deserve and need to be. One of the things about night vision enhancement, this is something that we were discussing this last weekend, actually had been brought up in a short little conversation back and forth using LED lighting. Now remember we talked about marking ranges. Don, of small reflectors actually, or any size reflector for that matter, reflector tape. That's out there, you can go to Meyers, 50 acres, you can go to a number of different sources. I'm pretty sure even Wally World might have it, but reflective tape in white It's the glass tape, guys. It's available usually in 1.5 inch, 3.25 inch, 1 inch, or even up to 2 inch bands. And there's about 3 to 5 feet of reflector on each of the rolls. Now, taking that and marking that, facing, say, poles, telephone poles or specific set markers, Don, if you just used an LED illuminator, not an IR, even just white, that would be enough to activate that glass to pick it up with the first gen on, correct? Oh yeah, white light forward deployed is a gimme, it has all the spectrum that Your night vision device will really enjoy it. It'll be the brightest thing on the battlefield. You want something between you and it so that you're looking at the light not directly at the source, the light bulb, behind a tree or whatnot. The other thing that will do for you is we've talked about flares and shadows and whatnot. Any white light on the battlefield, for a moment if you're looking at a piece of night vision not directly at it, start paying attention to shadows and moving shadows too. No question about that. Because they'll be greatly accented when you bring up the light levels. And white light illumination especially, simple LED. We're not talking about a massive spotlight guys, we're talking just the ability to position something so it's shielded from you, illuminates from an oblique or from an angle where it does not relate to you. Now that's going to draw attention. But remember, it's one of those things where you can flare the area. You already know where you want to engage perhaps. But by lighting up your benchmarkers for 50, 100, 150, 200 yards, your night scope is going to be more effectively able to judge specific distance without having to do as much guesstimating. Rangefinders could be involved too, etc. or laser rangefinders, whatever. But what we're more interested in is the idea that With the existing off-the-shelf system we can greatly enhance the ability for the technology to service. Other forms, we've talked about LED lighting, of course infrared markers, those work exceptionally well, but again if we can we want to deflect that to a degree from our own device don't we? Oh yeah, you don't want to look directly at the source of the light. Now again, if you're looking at the rays It's like looking at a person carrying a flashlight that they're pointed directly ahead down the path and you're directly behind the person. You're enjoying almost all of the light that's being emitted but you're not looking directly at the source. Another thing you'll find is when it's wet, if it's rained or after the dew settles, any illumination out there is going to bounce off that wet, just multiplying it across fields. Now that's a Across the field is a bit of an exaggeration, but you'll find that anything wet when you bring up an illuminator it's going to be again the brightest image in your field of view that will become the controlling portion that will it will influence what you're looking at as far as the amount of light moving through the device because Wet leaves wet pavement with an illuminator or other light sources, you know much like in the daytime you can get a tan quicker when you're on the lake because even light is being reflected up off of the water. Now, going back to you guys, we haven't brought this to the hour in a while. You know, you see the displays for Kmart shoppers or other things that are the dinky little flashing lights, be it Christmas time and they're flashing on the Krinstree or they're over there flashing on Mother's Day or Father's Day or whatever they choose, draw your eye to. They throw those out eventually. Because the next latest and greatest comes in and while they throw those out find out talk to the manager if you have to you don't have to pick them from the garbage but Generally the manager if he's gonna throw them out if you tell him man I'll give you a couple blocks for it. It'll be yours those dinky little LEDs in one display there might be 10 LEDs now you can deploy those in the aforementioned clothespin wire and use those indicate yardage as something is closing. If you are into a particular position that Georgia tick, so to speak, dug in like a Georgia tick, conceal it from your closing opponent. Remember how we've talked about communicating over great distances with a piece of night vision and even a cardboard tube and an LED or a laser at the bottom lighting the very bottom of the tube? that light would only be seen down a narrow, very specific field of view across a valley, top to hilltop or from station to station. Leave it at that. If you're going to be in one place, that means you're kind of committed to being there, but you don't have to be directly in that hole all the time or in that hooch or that concrete bunker. But one of the things you can do to conceal these lights from your closing, the foe, You can use a dead branch that's sticking across an area. A place where people are, even if they're low dog crawls, they move through there because they're funneled at because that's where the animals go because it's almost the only two paths. When you start looking at funnels like that, that would be a great place for a light mine. Through there they move this little, that's reaching across the path. Through there they move the fish wire, pull the thing out of the aforementioned. close line switch, the light comes on. That can be done for ranging also. If it's at the bottom of the tube, they might very well walk right by it. The caveat there is the tube is kind of pointing toward you, isn't it? Op force finds it. They kind of get off where you are, or a good alignment. They're somewhere down this line. It's like putting a gun cleaning rod in a hole in a tree that was made by a bullet. You kind of get an idea where the bullet came from, from that direction for certain. You know what I mean? But again, there are so many, even if it's just obvious, if they move through the area, this branch is bent across so that even if our deer moves through there, it's going to be pulled off and it's still green and everything. It's just twist loaded anymore. It moves back to its natural position and turns on that light. This can be done with, in particular in the dark, where even people with sharp eyes can't see it. At least they get up a couple inches away and generally bring out some type of light, be it artificial, you know, an IR illuminator, or some white light. You're kind of looking in that direction every now and then, aren't you? Again, you know, when you have to overwatch a big area, it's good to have dinky little mechanical things that help, isn't it, Mark? Again, the idea is little bits and pieces brought into service from a number of different directions. Scavenging being the most common, guys. Don't forget the dollar store is your friend. There's a lot of stuff that shows up in the dollar store that makes for useful tools. little electronic devices that are run on the small solar cell that normally you would find with the pocket calculators, things of that nature. That can be used also with a little bit of extra soldering and a little improvising and cannibalizing. It can make for some pretty useful tools in other directions to support your night vision or to again create distractions when the time comes. Motion is a distraction. This is something that You know, we need to remind everybody about, guys. The other side is looking for you to make mistakes and assuming that you're clumsy enough to. Well, provide that. Just be creative. Think of all the stuff, little trinkets, tidbits, also stuff that's being gotten rid of. There's something I got the other day. Just as in a past with a whole pile of other electronics, literally a couple days ago. A Panasonic cassette player, a nice one. An executive model, built-in microphone, stereo capability, power supply, little removable battery pack, it can work either way. Well, you know, the neat thing about that is the quality is quite reasonable. The noise that it makes is pretty decent. sound. It's another one of those tools when the time comes it goes into the box with all the other models kind of like it. But down the road it would be useful especially with one or two people making all those clattery, rackety, tiny noises that everybody is always looking for to confirm that there's somebody maybe over there we need to check out. There's a whole lot of background to that, including lack of light, but not extreme. In other words, nobody's going to be out in the field in the future with spotlights on a work area. In other words, everybody's going to understand, progressively or you die real quick, about light and sound discipline in the battlefield. So, you have to remember that when you're going to create what is considered to be reasonable deception, you have to be just sloppy enough so that something leaks, but not sloppy enough that it's obvious, well, I wouldn't do that, would you? See what I mean? In other words, common sense. So you have to calibrate it. Oops, it's an oopsie. Or I'm being secret, but maybe I wasn't secret enough. Another way to influence over range is to take that trip from the ground and light the top four feet with an illuminator pulled out of an LED or two that pointed up into the top of the pine tree so to someone looking at it with a piece of night vision the pine tree looks like it's on fire. Now that could be a great long distance alert but the other thing it will do, lieutenants and other people that like to call themselves big I like to stand away, but if they're overlooking that and they see something like that, they might wonder about what's going on there. And again, send some people over there to find out. Yep. And maybe they don't come back. In fact, if you're really good, it's quiet enough that, well, by the time that somebody thinks they should come back, you've gone over to visit. Yep. Not to mention the person who's intent on the ground. in a good pine forest might never see that and walk right by the trip he's just settled. Even with a piece of night vision because it's not going to be a place where he looks and it's not going to be for light quality. It's just going to be a couple of LEDs pointed straight up just lighting the top of the pine tree just the last few boughs and branches and the twigs that go straight up could be seen for miles with a piece of night vision. In fact, a very, very, well, still the idea behind it, very effective at bringing attention to some place where you may not be at all, or to bring somebody into a kill zone, or to waste munitions. Gotta remember there's something else that we need to talk about again, guys. Contrary to movies, remember artillery, mortar, and everything else is doled out. In a situation where you have an aggressor and maybe you want to move personnel, maybe you're trying to evacuate, maybe you're trying to exfiltrate, maybe you're trying to infiltrate, you may want to keep your aggressor busy. And so a broad spectrum opportunity may need to be provided. One of the ways to do this, electronic signals combined with optical, you know, confirmation combined with noise on the ground, This can be done with one, two, or a handful of people with a little bit of creativity and can create whatever illusion you wish. The most important thing is to make it big, make it appear big, especially if you want them to waste resources. This is one of the most common tricks that's used over and over again. Remember, that gun tube can't be pointed at two or three directions in that same instant. There is no gun that they have that can have all of their bullets. That's right. Exactly. And again, even if they do, the idea is it's not the movies. The availability of resources is doled out. This is not a movie where they try to condition you that everything is going to fire on one target and only that one target is the only thing they have to do. There's nothing else in the world to distract them except for, well, a dozen other activities simultaneously taking place in their area of operation. where again they have to allocate. Remember that munitions have to be shipped in, guys. And there's a usage schedule that's actually in place. So what you want to do is pull that. You want to redirect and misdirect that in the process. There's a lot of mean tricks you can use to do that. Now, real quick, an interesting little piece here, by the way, one of our friends sent us, British sniper kills six Taliban terrorists with one bullet. Now it looks like he was using a 338 Lapua. Okay, so number one bonds or copper bullet guys as we've told you just think and I'm gonna I'm gonna print this back on this piece by the way I would like you to think about this remember what I've said about the idea that Okay line them up you see these snail trails of Black uniformed secret police were piled up one behind the other behind the other behind the other and Well, just think about what it would be like if somebody were to line their weapon up and let's say it was like a 338 Lapua or a 50 caliber Browning or a Wow and go right down the list even 30 odd six of them to AP If you... Yeah, what would happen down, especially if you aim at crotch or just below crotch level right around there with the leader, especially if it's flat out? I mean, there's not a whole lot down there to really slow the bullet down, is there? Well, it'll probably go straight through the first two, if not the first three, if you're talking about sending them a 50 at less than a couple hundred yards for certain. So much like hitting them with a pickup truck. in about a thirty-second of a square inch at about 80 miles an hour. Yeah, and consider it's like a bunch of small sticks or trees that you're going through. So it's not like you're going through the torso and through the body armor. So you should easily be able to handle three, four, five, six, seven, because I would hope that the bullet deflects down. I don't really need the bullet to deflect up and into the torsos. I wanted to go along or laterally across all of those sticks because every one of them hit with that half inch projectile traveling even at subsonic. Well, it just kind of ruined their whole day for activity. So the interesting thing about this is you don't have to be a British sniper to do that. Think about all the opportunities that have been demonstrated to you time and again about how you may have to work things out. Go ahead. There comes somewhere between 750 and 840 grains of a real bad day for a number of people. Yeah, no wait just pass the pole man pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop and they all fell to the right Well, it's cuz they have no leg on the right, sir Well, can I say, so you don't have to be that British sniper to get that job done. And of course that's one of those things where, you know, I'm sure we've got them all lined up under these conditions. Yeah, whatever. I think we can pretty well do tit for tat on that one. And again, well, they're going across to the neighbor's house to kick in the doors and they're telling everybody it's part of the gun deal and it's feudal of resist. Yeah, okay, whatever. So after they lose say half of what's standing there in line with the first shot, with the first shot, everybody that fell in front of the first guy standing, the first guy standing for an instant, he's standing there looking with a bit of wonder and a bit of amazement and then a bit of relief until he looks at his gut. Then he falls down too. Then on top of that, you start to hear the staccato of small arms fire from the other weapons systems that kicked in only the nanosecond after the 50 or the 338 or the O2 cut loose and it was a grand to be more like, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, When you see a cluster like that, where would they have to go? But it's a result, Mark! They're so powerful! It's like, oh, BS! The biggest thing is looking at the idea that, you know, here we are, it's time. I mean, you're going to start dealing with this. When people show you these pictures, and what reason to bring this up, once again, they're all these pictures about, oh my God, they're going to do this! Or, oh my God, I mean, it's, needless to say, they're talking about the police state scams going on right now, and I'm pointing out that Most all of these characters that have been conditioned by this garbage are also going to be the primary casualties in the in the first wave Simply because again once the tap is turned then it's equal opportunity now What are you going to do you need to start being you need to start looking at these images and going man? I wish they did gang up like that Wow, that's really a pretty good shot Now, think about again, how would you deal, in fact, when you show you these groups, like, let me give you an example. We got that shot of five that were behind the truck where it looks like they were, you know, at Custer's last stand out there with a BLM. And there's only one looking towards the cowboys. Now, the one to the left is looking 45 degrees, and the one to the far left is looking 90 degrees, perpendicular to their actual, you know, direction the truck was, you know, intended to operate with, you know, as far as, you know, for protection. On the other side, one guy is looking at about 45 degrees and the other guy is looking at 90 degrees to the right, perpendicular to the truck. Now, when you look at these characters, you have to ask yourself, and this is the best example, who would I shoot first? Don't like oh my god look at what they've got like who would I shoot first? Who is it? You know example? What were they carrying now most of them are carrying? You know car 15 slash the m4 but a bunch of work carrying mp5s Now the mp5 is a serviceable weapon, but they're all buying these urban warfare You know shorty toy guns that are just fantastic for being secret police and mowing down women and kids You know, we're kicking in doors and mowing down, you know, everybody in the house because you've gone up. Yeah, you're right. You've kicked in and you need everything else to do until somebody starts returning fire with something bigger and heavier and you realize, well, it'd be nice to have something bigger and heavier. Well, but yeah, by that time it's too late. We're not worried about it. But here's the thing out there guys, all of the ranges for what they were carrying were wrong. So the issue is, if I want to destroy a unit like that, what do I look at? Anybody with a full size, in this case most of them are already committed to AR-15, so I commit to engaging both guns that obviously are long range rifle threats. I definitely want to shoot somebody who looks like he's making a decision. Anybody out of that group of five that's carrying something bigger, in other words, one's carrying say a pistol. he probably command person to these in the middle maybe ok it's a good indication he's you know figure he's important you're not uh... but the rest again it did be quite honest the command person as opposed to go to the rifle the guy with the pistols not going to get away and he's not going to return effective fire not the way not the way you can with that bolt-action uh... model seven-year model seven hundred so what you want to do is reduce their ability to accurately engage in that means you go right on the pecking order of heavy rifles AK or AR type rifles, in this case you're looking at a secret police unit so they were using ARs. And then after that it's catch-as-catch-can, you know, because you've gone through the most critical issues. You've gotten rid of the AR crew and they're even using pump guns. They're using shorter weapons. So that needs to be taken into consideration also. They're using light rifles. They're using in fact CAR 15s which were considered submachine guns. The M4 was rated as, it's a CAR 15. He just gave another name. It was rated by the military originally as a submachine gun, not as a battle rifle. Okay? So as long as we understand that, we're doing fine. Now, from our side, full length, 20 inch ARs, full battle rifles, .338s, .50 cals, anything you've got, how would you engage each of those targets? And would you also, for instance, if you had a .50, if you could line up multiple targets, you'd want to. On the other hand, if you've got pretty much a massive amount of firepower, would you want Would you want to neutralize, for instance, the trucks? Would you want that truck to get away? Would a 50 caliber going through that engine block be more valuable for you at that moment? Think about it. If they can get to the truck, they can leave. It will reduce a lot of flux on the battlefield. Yeah, if they can't get to the truck and they can't, the only option they have is to try to use a recover, and it's really piss poor recover, number one. But use it for cover or try to escape. Now trying to escape, it's now a tit for tat. Equal opportunity. You have superiority and firepower. You have more manpower on the ground. They have no place to retreat too. Look at the terrain and conditions. I mean, they might die amongst, you probably wouldn't shoot them if they were amongst the cattle. that would be that i would be a bit like i'm gonna show up on backup retreat amongst the cows why go to my not shoot the cows they're worried about you because we're not worried about shooting them worried about shooting the cows you seem to mean that would be their only option otherwise terrain being what it is manpower availability if you prayer Ties knocking out their mobile element and destroying their, you know, progressively a pecking order of weapons. How would you do it to neutralize their ability to continue to function? Now granted, someone would grab the other guy's gun, but let's point something out here. Even that idea, that sounds really cool. Well Mark, he just picked up that AR-15. Okay, so you're driving him off a position. He picked up the guy's AR-15. He might even be stupid enough to drop that MP5, though most of them have 3-point carry stuff now. But let's think about that. Okay, he drops that MP5 where he decides to negate it, and he grabs air 15. Did he grab the guy's web gear? So how long is that air 15 good for? As long as the magazine has another round. Oh, but it'll shoot forever down. I've watched movies. You just keep pulling the trigger and pulling the trigger and pulling the trigger. It doesn't work that way, does it, Don? Right. Somebody's watching too many movies. Yeah. But you feel good for a little bit longer. It doesn't mean I wouldn't do it too, but I wouldn't drop my weapon. I mean, again, if you're looking to rear guard, if you're looking to try and dump fire power down the range, yeah, you might just keep trying desperately to do that. You know, in this case, bad choice of tools for the toolbox, wrong kind of tools for the toolbox, sounds really impressive in the classroom of Homeland Security, which are a bunch of nutcase, you know, rape, kill, pillage, and burn types. Now we're looking at a conventional battlefield that by the way they imposed. They were the ones who were all figured. They were the conquering emperors. They were the battlefield deuces. They were out there and they were going to rape, kill, pillage, burn. We were all going to be disarmed peasant Gandhiists. They were going to roll over and laugh about the beer hall where they shot the women and kids and the cowboys. They'd be joking about it when they got back to the bar. and it didn't quite work that way now it would have been a lot worse but again think ahead because world is going to change here in a little bit when that happens you need to have the mindset of how will i'd utterly destroy my enemy in this in the earliest possible phase of contact how was i can turn him into a such a a such a egg a uh... uh... an individual shall we say of fear and confusion because i don't care i'll shoot him in the back as quick as i should have up front If they are running away, the first rule we learned is get them all. Aim crosshair, low hip. Remember if your farthest one is out, there is a reason I also bring it up for that hip shot even at the long range. Guys, just because if you haven't done this much long range shooting, remember if you have a tendency to pull. to jerk a little or to tap a little more than squeeze, well if you aim low center of mass then chances are that bullet is still going to ride up and hit the hip, the body armor or something and a hit of any kind is going to start to do damage and slow down the aggressor in your follow up shooter. The other guy next to you, he will probably finish what you started. If not you will, you see. But you want to be able to make sure they don't get away. That's the most important part of the math formula. Whenever you're in contact, they can't get away. The secret police especially, the STASI types, the KGB types, you can't let them get away. You're going to have to in fact make sure that not even a rumor of their destruction returned to where they came from. That way they have to keep guessing and they'll only use the training they know because it's what they know. See how that works? So you can pretty well expect the same thing to come out at you the next time around. Eventually they might figure out something isn't working, but only if you allow for any kind of electronic or electronic record or whatever to get out. And that's what you can't let happen. Electronic countermeasures are a good idea. Scrambling and jamming, noise and background, pick up their headsets and radio, start to create confusion. Remember guys, anything you can do to start to roll them up, you have to continue to press, press, press, press. You need to be creative, improvising, adapting, and overcoming while you're in contact. Again, I'm putting down their weapons, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't grab that MPF off that guy's corpse and turn around and burst a 30 round mag towards the truck just to keep them busy while you guys with the heavy rifles are having fun. know what I mean? Think about it. If all of a sudden I could grab a full auto weapon and it has real select fire, oh yeah, I'll keep them busy and knock them in another direction and drive them right out into your heavy rifles. That's a whole bunch of bullets you didn't even carry to the battlefield. Yeah, they paid for them. They spent their lives getting it there. You might as well use it to get rid of the rest of them. Well, that's right. Plus, I don't want to use NISRA, all of them, because there's some kids back there that might need an MP5. You never know. Ooh, it might have been me. Yeah, it is, because the kids will have fun with it. Actually, the young guys and so on. We are almost to the top. Oh, we're at the top. We're going to hear the music here in a minute. Don, your number for night vision before we go any farther, please. Yeah, but the thought line is, if we press this for another 30 seconds, we'll have about 14 minutes to police the area. Yep, exactly. We'll have the time we need to strip them. And again, remember, if the vehicle's knocked out, you need to have strip crews even for the vehicles ready. Because, while again, modern technology, with all the scan and all the tracking technology, guys, popping the tires, dropping the fluids, anything useful from inside, anything that you can find that's especially replacement or spares, you need to go down the road with you. And you need to be keeping that in the back of your mind. Now, a little point, if you haven't been watching the Eastern Ukraine militias, Don, I don't know if you've seen any of the pictures of their development. You might notice little SUVs. What do they do? I told you this before. They've taken all the glass out of all these little SUVs. They've got four-door units. They've got the moon roof. Guess where the gunner's going? Ha, ha, ha. Wow! Just like a baby Humvee. Well, as a matter of fact, they're giving them a camo paint job and they're a throwaway. Like we said, guys, vehicles are throwaways. I was laughing at somebody saying, well, you guys got that old truck in one of the training videos. It's like, idiot. Of course we've got the old truck and we've got newer trucks too. You know what? I'm not going to cry if I lose the old truck and have to walk away from it. If you have a $40,000 vehicle, I want to watch the tears start. You know what I mean? Compared to losing the $684. Exactly. Well, we paid like $100 in that truck. That particular truck we paid $80 for. $120 for the other one in the same video. Guys, they were from Uncle Sam's used car lot and I used to buy piles of them. You know what I mean? M-880s, M-715s, and by comparison by US dollars now, yeah, six, seven, $800 to get you a beater truck from the government that you can turn around and turn into a combat tactical vehicle. It already was, we're just gonna make it a little more impressive when the time comes. Little grinding, a little bit of welding, some sandbags, and you got something to you, well the time comes off as a little protection, but as needed, yay, if you gotta throw it, you throw it. Oh, we might have Ed off to the side there. He's probably going, oh, look at the time. Because we are at the top of the hour. Pretty close to it anyway. But hey, if you're looking for night vision, my number is 231-796-8458. Without prompting, 231-796-8458. Goggles are gun sights. Green screens are thermal. Give me a call. I'm happy to beat up the guy with the 800 number. My number is 2317968458. Thank you Mark.
