Summary
Mark Koernke discussed navigation and survival preparedness, focusing on the importance of compasses as non-electronic navigation tools and recommending affordable options from dealextreme.com. He emphasized map reading, orienteering, and distance estimation skills for escape and evasion scenarios. The show featured extended discussion with Don about night vision technology transitions, specifically the shift from green phosphor screens to white phosphor screens in newer generation devices, the technical advantages of green screens, and available inventory of first and second generation night vision rifle sights. Don provided contact information for night vision equipment sales and discussed the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner exchange situation.

Live 365. According to this, 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 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 and 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 will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will 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 bright. As I awoke, he vanished and missed 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 watching tremble to 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land. Hello. I'm sorry. Hey you are alive I had skype muted mark and you could not hear the visitor from the past it just ended I know they're there. on and behind the lines in occupied territories, east, southeast, west, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com Liberty Tree Radio dot com, 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 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 to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd to 5th, the Pitt crews, and the 11 sisters on the left side of the state. Colorado, the recall state doing its part, waving to the left coast way out there on the far side of the country where the great state of Jefferson is building even as we speak. We turn back to the sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the smoky slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell 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, it is a beautiful, it's been a beautiful sun, shiny day, all day today. Couldn't ask for better weather. It's about as nice as it could possibly be. For everyone that's out there, take the time and again, get outside here. You're high and dead out. Get a little bit done and get back to work, whatever you gotta do. During the day, I know you might be cooped up at work. Get outside. Step outside. Walk for lunch. Eat outside for lunch. Get out there in the air. With the way things are going, we're not going to get as much of that as we'd like, especially if we get stuck in a battlefield situation. We'll be outside, but it won't be the enjoyment relaxation thing, so we can bank positive right now in preparation for what's coming. Today's date, well, as you probably figured out already, is the 3rd of June. There's a sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K, 2000, and 14, Old Earth Calendar, or Mayan. Crazy town, or Notre Dame-us, man. Notre Dame-us. Yes, Nostradamus. Yeah, peeing in the tea leaves again. It's like Dolly eating feces. Yeah, he, of course, saw all kinds of things, man. Yeah, I saw your paintings, dude. Everything kind of rolls over corners and stuff like it was made of something else, kind of pliable and sticky and Oh, that's what Dolly, he was thinking one thing and one thing only with all his paintings. Scat eating. Disgusting. Well anyway, quite Twilight Zone. And do we have Don yet? I don't see him on there yet. And we have Spike here. So Spike, tell everybody, are we able to hook up LTR? There's some questions in the chat room there. Yes. Everything is fine. That link doesn't work. You have to go to IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com and click on the Listen Live button up at the top of the page. It's a little tiny word. I'm going to have to enlarge that. I'm going to be working on the site after this week and rearranging some stuff. So you can get to it. You just have to go to IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com. I don't think Ed has had a chance to change that link around yet. And we've got plenty of room over there. Excellent. And again, we've got a lot of other... So Liberty Tree Radio is offline? No, it is. It's online. Indiana Freedom Talk Radio is online. Everything is going 100% like it should be. So live 365, you can still hook up that way, guys, for everybody out there listening. Maybe if you're used to plugging in from one direction and the... site is loaded that happens only got so much bandwidth you know that work so shop the different locations to plug in and maybe you are right now not very well so plug into one of the alternates plug into one of the alternates plug into one of the alternates plug into one of the alternates now between four comments or four repeats I should pretty well have transmitted that message in part so that everybody got an understanding what it is Hey, you know, I sent some of those scat sandwiches over to the toilet bowl there in DC and they told me next time to keep the bread. Yeah, you could just send peanuts too. Preferably, well, only slightly used. Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. I'll let you guys take it. And do we have down with us now? I think we got down with it. Here we go. We got down there. Don, I'll tell you what. It is bright and shiny here. What's it like up in your neck of the woods today? It's a beautiful day, a bit breezy. One could call it windy, but the trees love the motion and the grass gets all wiggly. When things start bending around like that, it's a pretty good read for the wind. It is the third day of June, year of our Lord 2014. Beautiful day, intermittent clouds in the sky. Did you mention that it rained down there this morning, Mark? Beautiful day here. So, ain't nobody better be complaining about that, not under any circumstances. Anyway, a couple things here real quick. I wanted to address this, and in fact, dealextreme.com, dealextreme.com, dealextreme.com, dealextreme.com, dealextreme.com, or dx.com, dx.com, dx.com, dx.com, www.dx.com. Now why am I bringing that up? Well, gee, I don't know. How about the idea that we can find some cheap solutions in quantity? Now what is it I'm looking for right now? Hold on here. Anyway, as it stands, we're looking for compasses. Trying to find the best price for compasses and deal extreme is the best source for such things. Guys, you get down to sports and outdoors. The second item down in the special section there is compasses. Now when you see that, hit compasses and you can pay any price you want for a compass, just like you can in the industrial world as a matter of fact. One of the things they have, right at the beginning there I think is rather interesting, is an artilleryman's compass. Which is strange that out of the blue that would be the first thing that they actually are providing. It's a lens static, but it's one of the heavy, traditional octagonal compasses that was originally provided in the gun layers kits with artillery and mortar sections. How do I know? I've seen them before. Trust me, we've used them. So, for $36.99 you get a, shall we say, a very accurate and complete knockoff of an actual Dunlaying Compass for operations in the future. Something to take into consideration. But everybody immediately goes, Mark, I don't want to spend $36.99 on a compass. I understand that. So look through there and anywhere from $0.10 to several dollars will get you a pretty decent utility compass that will kind of point you in the right direction. Now you can spend any kind of money you want. And one of the things I would recommend, number one, right off the bat, go down through the listings. They have super mini compasses, 10 packs for $1.97. They have lensatics for, a military copy lensatics for $4 to $6 to $8. What the quality variance is, I don't know. I mean, there's not so much that you can really do with a compass, if you know what I mean. But in addition to that, tag and hanger type, compasses, packs of 10 for $10, packs of 10 for $5, packs of 10 for $5.50, you kind of get my drift here. If you can't find something that fits your wallet, there's something wrong. On top of that, we've got one here new that I haven't seen before, ODGreen. It's a combination outdoor emergency whistle, compass, and LED flashlight. Hey, you get more than one item, $3.70. Not very fancy. The compass is minimal. It's one of those other cheaper compasses mounted in something else. Oh, well. The big thing is a decent linsatic compass of one form or another would be highly recommended. Now, another one that they have here that I really like because it's harder to lose them and you can have multiples. They have a quote unquote professional, I don't know how professional this is, outdoor compass with hollow mountaineering buckle. That's a stay keeper type guys like a carabiner. Now the advantage of these is that you can't lose them. But the other advantage is you can hang them in different spots all over creation and you can't lose them. So even if you did lose one, you probably won't lose the others. Now, as soon as I mention compasses, there are some lames who are making a comment. Usually, their people have never been in the field. Or if they are, it's always in the plastic environment. Who do they need a compass for? Yeah, GPS. Yeah, okay. Well, at the very least, GPS is going to be unreliable on its best day once they start shunting it. Number one. Got a pocket full of batteries? Yeah, pocket full of batteries is the other issue. And... Well, we just don't know what's on board that because it does give you such an accurate reading of where you are. Where you are, rearranged at. Where are you? Yeah, exactly. So for everybody out there, let's get away from the electronics where we're possible. We do need electronic components in our life, but we don't need electronic navigation. We don't need compasses that are electronic. The big thing is, again, here's the other point. Somebody would say, well, Mark, the world's going to fall in its axis and flip upside down and spin off into the air. You've got to be so good, you know, the compasses won't be relevant. Well, good. Then buy a four or five dollar compass for every person and then shut up. Do you know what I mean? Hey, no, no. Then you better really know how to orient by a map. Yeah, exactly. So, there is again one of the reasons for having all of these tools in the toolbox. Now, the reason for the compass is obviously so at least you can get a general idea day or night about where you are. Now, if you have any kind of map, now for instance this weekend or this last weekend, I got a handful, a big pile of maps that were being tossed out by the park service. Why? Well, on the one side they have information on what's open here, what's closed there, but on the other side I've got a couple hundred free, simple, you know, general land navigation maps. Now, do they offer all the information I could possibly need? No, not everything, but they offer standard man-made features, natural obstacles such as lakes, rivers, and swamps, And what's really cool is they also identify parks or open real estate that are indigenous slash natural terrain. All of which is nice to know if you're trying to work on escape and evasion operations. Get my drift. But also, if I had a whole bunch of people in one place, I can give everybody one of these maps and they at least have something at no cost to me. Any mapping is helpful mapping. Even if it was done in the 50s, basic road grids have not changed. Basic man-made and natural obstacles typically don't go anywhere. Now, granted with the Natural Rivers Act, they've been fragging smaller bridges in Michigan. So I would recommend it all over the country, by the way. We've talked about this. Yeah, you need to know where those have been destroyed. Just because it's still on the map, or you're assuming it's on the map. Let me give you an example of this. I've had this happen over and over again. People are looking at the map and reading the road map when they're going north, south, and Michigan. And, well, the road straight is narrow, and it travels from one end of the state to the other. And it's a secondary road, in many cases dirt one stretch, concrete the next. But at a given point they get to a spot and there's a big sign that says road closed. Bridge out. Wait a minute so you can go around it still because the road is open past the sign, the first sign. You don't want to tell you at the last minute so you can go into the drink. And you go down there and you find there's weeds growing and they've done all this extra work to, you know, frag that crossing. This is part of the communist channeling of the population and the destruction of human infrastructure. By the way, it's also one of the first things we're going to do to fix and keep people busy. Bridge projects are going to be a priority and all of these roads that have been shut off are going to be open. In fact, they're going to be open during the war. Everybody understand that? We're going to change the dynamic immediately. That has to be in your mission your statement of things that must be done at the high tactical or low strategic level Okay But half the battles having a compass and I cannot stress enough. Come on guys You can get clip-on compasses for three dollars three dollars and thirty eight cents five dollars and you know when you compare them It's like well, why would that one be five and that one has the same body and it's only three thirty eight and Gee, which would I rather save the $2 and get the cheaper one that's a carabiner type compasses, guys? But lensatics also, please. Don't get yellows. Don't get reds. If you find stuff like that that's free, grab it. You can always hand-paint them later. But when you're buying stuff, buy tactical. OK? Buy tactical. Think tactical. In fact, they even make that same hanger compass. Look at that. I went to another page. Next one, OD green. Okay, oh black and OD green mostly OD green. Lensatic compasses they're making in plastic, let's see translucent marking, lensatic compass for those people I guess who are prisoners. We wouldn't want you to smuggle anything in your compass, so we're going to make a clear ice cube-type compass so that the government can look at it and go, oh, OK, we'll let you keep that. We can see through it. Anything that's prison-oriented, because that's where all this BS came from, all this clear stuff, guys. Which, by the way, I warned you about this. They're now bringing you into the schools. You can have a backpack, but it has to be clear. And you can have a purse, but you're a prison grade. This is all crap coming from the prison system guys There is a whole prison supply system, and they're pointing your kids towards the prison supply system Doesn't that make you feel special? Yes, it does So anyway, just something to think about. Again, orienteering, knowing how to again, this down set orient the map, being able to measure distance or at least guesstimate distance is especially critical. Remember, most mapping has a scale. Find it. Estimating distance goes over to estimating how far versus or compared to how fast. Now you can apply that across the board, but how fast is your foot step, step to step, over a minute, over an hour? And how far away is that mountain and how long will it take you to get there? When you look at it... And the mountain won't go anywhere by the way. Your older masts will have that same mountain by the way. Right. We've addressed this in a number of different ways. We've done it on Weapons Wednesday when we talk about spotting scopes and seeing your opponent at a great distance. and then observing him as he's moving and knowing the angle. This can be done with a lensetic scope. This can be done with a scope, not a scope, a compass that you can look through and cut degrees down to tenths. And when you can estimate yardage and you can estimate the angle, there's a formula that'll come up with how far he's traveled at that end. And when you're timing it too, you can figure out, well, gee, how fast is he? And when you can figure out how fast he is, you can ponder on that one for a moment, figure out how fast he is, how far away he is, and then throw into the formula, how fast are we? And then you have to figure on things like, do we want to stay here and wait for him? Do we want to rush out onto the field? Or do we wish to flee as fast as we can? And if we are going as fast as we can with the speed that he has exhibited, will he overtake us and in how long? A whole bunch of questions could be answered just by knowing how far away someone is and how fast they are traveling. And again, we're looking at situations where a lot of people are talking about how they're going to be secret squirrel and they're going to avoid and then they'll whip out a GPS and it's like, well, you ain't going to be secret squirrel with that. Okay, just that simple kids. So a reminder that for everybody out there we have a lot of technology that is, you know, interesting, but it is not reliable in the long run, especially under the conditions we're talking about. And the survival, escape, and evasion process, you need to be able to work with the tools that are on hand and preferably minimal energy using the most sophisticated computer on the battlefield, your brain. In fact, you're focusing calories on that so that you can keep functioning, so that you're able to use your mind, and your mind does most of the work that all those things with batteries kind of cheat at, and they do a poor job of mimicking, to be quite honest. So the better we are at what we do, the better off we will be. Now, as far as the compasses go, again, wide little dot compasses, because I can conceal them or I can hide them or I can cache them and when the time comes, at the very least all my people will have a compass. So ideally one that's reasonably good size, thumbnail size or bigger would be good. Again, $6 will get you 10 of whatever number of different, anywhere from $5 to $6 to $10, will get you a number of different mini compasses that are good to have in your 5-10 program or spread out around your system and your equipment and in other people's equipment. Think about that, but it's a high priority that we get this squared away because compass technology was banned in Vietnam. You know, you got to remember Vietnam is China's sport. Countries like that produced all your cracker jack toys. Guys, those 10 compasses that I'm talking about that cost, let's see, $5.49, those 10 compasses would get you 10 death execute slash executions. I don't think you'd survive the first one. But it was a sentence of death to own a compass. That was Vietnam after the Vietnam War. Think about that. It was a death sentence to own a compass. Now please, the panty-waists out there, don't start going, oh my god, you're the kind that's going to be a compass. I won't go anywhere near him without learning other ways. Well, you should be learning other alternative ways to figure out where North is. Congratulations. That's a great idea. And then in the process, understand that chances are with all the deaths and deaths and those deaths, I don't think you're going to survive much of anything because no matter what you're thinking about doing, unless you somehow find a way to put yourself in a tube and bury yourself in place, which by the way the enemy will do for you if they're given the opportunity, you're going to be violating thousands of laws. Everything you're going to do is going to be a crime. We need to shoot them out of the country for that reason now and get rid of this farce. sooner rather than later. Well, because of that, and because a lot of other people are feeling the same way, they're tired of the slaver routine, then people are going to be plugging into combat order, and a lot of you, while you may not be combatants, you are going to have to get out of harm's way. Common sense, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. A non-battery item is a plus, plus, plus. It will keep working. In some cases it can have a lot of other features. Don't forget many of the lensatic compasses have, for instance, built in mirrors. Now you have to be careful with light discipline with regard to that. Reflections will draw attention too, but a mirror does come in handy for a number of different issues, especially if you're on your own. If you've got a casualty situation, you got bumped and you feel blood or you've got blood somewhere and it's in a place where you can't see, a mirror would kind of come in handy. Even a small one would give you the ability to ID the threat so you can figure out what you need to do. And guessing with your fingers, you ever thought about this? When you feel something, the scale is so much bigger. Oh, I can feel it. Oh, God, it must be 6 inches wide. It's like, no, the cut's no bigger than the end of your fingertip and not even that. Think about it. You're feeling it, right? But for whatever reason, mentally, it's really big all of a sudden, isn't it, guys? Well, help calm down psychologically, reorient the mind to scale. Might be kind and nice to have a tool. There's a lot of situations where you can get slivers, burrs, bites, all kinds of things you can't see. So you see these tools do come in handy in more than one way. And you can learn real quick how to add more to the inventory but still keep things lightweight. Your compass can be a multi tool in and of itself. So, just one of the things that are on the list of things to do. By the way, with a mirror and a lancette configuration, $6 to $12, $13 a piece, with all the rest of the bells and whistles. And I hear the music, Dom.

Gradually been taken and the stars and stripes for a previous name, been changed. And when we gaze upon the floor, it's hard to fight that feelings of shame. All the vision and greedy corporations would fold us out. Our soldiers of the wars never meant to cause this right. We's on the way and we won't give up the fight till we hear 200 million say. We are at Carl Klein and we are back. Don, I need you to do me a favor. Number one, we've talked about this before, but the changes with night vision technology coming up. Guys, they're only a handful of the Gen 1 scopes left that are in green screen. And after that, Don, that's it for these models, correct? And for you, Ken. People, pay attention. Because of what you did, and I want to say thank you to everybody that participated, We've been able to create a benchmark. The owners of the business realize Don is an asset. Not that they didn't think he was an asset before, but definitely somebody who is, you know, definitely, you know, he's moving the product for them, which is what they want. Now that we're doing it for a beneficial, for our movement is the whole idea. Don, of course, is the conduit for that. Take the time, give him a call, talk to him if you have any questions. But Don, I need you to take over for a bit and cover deployment. I'll tell you what, let's compare it this way. The green screen was a perfected solution based upon true military application. The white screen doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but let's compare some of the problems that we would experience. First of all, what do you have available? Again, cost, changes in the technology, what are we looking at right now? And then give us an overall comparison, especially looking at the possibility of this white phosphor being the norm. We're gonna have to come up with a solution to deal with it. Go ahead, please. Thank you, Mark. Well, let's go in the Wayback Machine to Generation Zero when the German and the American screen was red because there were a number of reasons why. Red didn't rob you of night vision as far as looking at a bright light, bright red, enough to make out an image, and then look away into the dark. You'd still have a lot of your natural night vision. Green isn't as friendly, but green isn't bad compared to like black and white. That's one reason right there. Look at a black and white television and then look into the dark. You hardly see a black and white television anywhere, do you? So I just thought I'd mention that. That's a measure that's almost impossible to find. But when they moved away from the red screen, because well, they figured if Jerry's over there looking back and I move this device away from my face. My face is red for a minute and that really catches the op force's attention, the other guys. Because, well, it's infrared. That was the deepest measure right there of the spectrum of light that they were reaching to. We can talk about like third generation as a coincidental. Third generation reaches infrared and then starts to look into ultraviolet also. That's where third generation gets a little more oomph in the extra low light. Let's go back to that first generation, the transition from red to green screen. It was a natural thing because green doesn't really rob you of your night vision that much. It will. In particular, if you're using a binocular or a goggle system, both eyes, and you're walking along and someone says, hey, let me use that. No, let me use that. No. Are we there yet? No. Let me use that. No. Can I use that now? Yeah. Okay. Or the device fails or you take it off for some reason or another. Your eyes are going to be momentary to adjust, but they'll be near that night vision, your natural night vision. But they won't be as washed out as a black and white screen that is coming. The black and white screen is a result of using the internals. That's a better word than guts or the innards from a digital video camera. The world is awash in those parts. And a lot of people are looking at, let's use that instead of a first generation tube. I have no doubt because it's cheaper. Now, I'm going to have to get one of these in my hand just so I can evaluate overall performance compared to a green screen. I'm going to have to do that for you. But I don't know if I'd want to turn it out into the market until I solve the problem of white light on my face. Because we go back to that red light on your face or white light. If you've ever looked at a, if you've ever owned a piece of night vision and just glanced at a car going by in the nighttime and They don't even have to touch the brake lights for the brake lights, just the running lights. To be the major thing in your screen, and almost the device is trying to adjust to that brightness, so you can't see anything else. That's an extreme of what we've talked about. You don't want to look at tail lights with the color. You're over-revving your device. If you were, again, that offers up the, your night vision device will adjust to, automatically adjust to the brightest thing in its field of view. This is how you can have shadows at night in a piece of night vision. Well that and you know the physically there's less light getting there because well there's something stopping the light. So that's how that works. Now talking about the white light on your face, we've discussed green cellophane, other things. Someone might come up with a you know the thinnest piece of green tint to go across there and just clip right in like you know protective lenses do on your pds7s and on your gas masks and such That'd be pretty neat. We've offered up some solutions up into the company Let's see what comes of that because basically you guys the the back portion of that is to make a white black and white screen It's being backlit by white LEDs Now, someone, you'd all recognize a name, I won't mention a name, but you'd all recognize it if you listened to the hour mention that. He might even tell you some other time that, yeah, I told Don about that, but I won't mention his name. He's pretty good with them. Computers and electrical stuff mentioned that, well, if they backlight that screen with white LEDs, why not backlight that screen with green LEDs and we'll still have the innards from... camcorders but will have a green light coming out of the device. So that's been moved upstream and let's see if they want to run on that but that's an iffy thing right now then you know sometimes they get stuck in their ways and don't change for a good long time. But at last report, kind of like sundown yesterday, there were 47 of that first generation green screen left, 308 capable, 2.5 power and right in your mailbox for $375. So, I'd be willing to bet that there are at least seven less today when they close. If you want to get on board, my number is 231-796-8458. Now, we were talking about a deal on second generation. And you guys, if I can do five of the... Inside the night arrow we can take that to $1,248 instead of $1,300 and that includes delivery right in your mailbox. Now if you want to talk about that my number is 231-796-8458 and that's an odd number. I don't know why you came up with that but if we can do five of those we can move that to that price. That's $52 off you guys and that includes delivery. My number is 2317968458. That gun site fits the same parameters as the first generation gun site. It is a green screen, a red reticle. The reticle, there's something I have addressed on the air a bit, but, and I've talked with a number of the people who have taken delivery of the first generation device, but when you adjust that reticle for AIM, you're going to see it move around on the screen. That alarms some people. Well, let's either make an external adjustment like a lot of older night vision devices setting on an Elkan mount or something similar, but external adjustments are very susceptible to dirt and grime and mud and all kinds of other things that make them a little bit harder to operate and you have to kind of clean them a lot. Well, an internal adjustment is pretty neat, but it would have cost a lot more for the device to have an internal adjustment that didn't make the reticle move. It would have just about a third to half again the price increase. The reticle moving around on the screen, once you get used to it, you guys, it's no big deal. It's not like the device is broke. So the second generation device will do the same thing. As you bring the device to a point of aim and point of impact where they coincide at your chosen range, you'll have to move that reticle around on the green screen a little bit to get there. Either that or you go to a gunsmith and there are people who do this with even daytime scopes and shim everything and angle things up and mill things down and right on the top of the gun or right on top of the rail on top of the gun and all kinds of it until it's right and then they all have to do the dead slot of money. Now again that second generation gun sight is .308 capable. It's two and a half. power. I'm going to be conservative. It's going to, it's two power. It is a purpose-built gun sight. Again, I mentioned it's .308 capable. It has an integral rail that will thumbscrew down to your picatinny or your weaver rail, your one inch or your seven-eighths inch respectively. I'll put that right in your mailbox for $1,248 if we can sell five of them. Give me a call if you're up to moving into a second generation device, you guys. My number is 231-796-8458. I don't know how he came up with that five number. But 231-796-8458. And again, there's a handful of the first generation gun sites left. I doubt if there will be any by this time next week. My number is 231-796-8458. We can talk about third generation gun sites or goggles or binoculars or monoculars or thermal. I have a piece of thermal. I'll put it right in your mailbox for $5 less than $2,000. I could say $19.95 and I'd pick up delivery too, but $5 less than $2,000 will put a piece of thermal right officially from the FLIR company. in your mailbox for $19.95. My number is 2317968458. We haven't talked about the night vision video for a few days, so let's do that for a moment. You guys, there's the night vision video out there. It's the fieldwork thing. It'll give you a little bit of example of second generation, and it's mostly comprised of third generation. You'll see the same intersection summer and winter. You'll see the same intersection with no moon and a full moon and gradients in between and you'll see some wildlife and you'll see some people and you'll see some guns shooting and you'll see some other things that well you ought to know about by the time you start thinking about taking a piece of night vision into the field because it's better that you learn from other people's mistakes or the examples are run up proper the first time or even just what to expect. is zip code, but again, post office box 194, Dexter, Michigan, where the postal zone, also known as the zip code, is 4-8-1-3-0. And that'll get you the night vision video and get you kind of equated, or rather, acquainted with what you would expect from our third generation device. You'll even see some driving, both looking forward through the windshield and looking off to the side as if you were riding on something or looking through the walls of something. But if you want to talk about night vision, my number is 231-796-8458. The move up from that 350 Guardian is about another $40. So we're looking at $400 territory then for a gun sight. If you want to get one of the last few of them, The first generation Guardian, the 350 Guardian, that's $375 right in your mailbox. My number is 2317968458. I've got to step away for just a second. And that means it's my turn. And like Don was saying, 2317968458, if you're looking for night vision, give Don a call and he can help you out because he's the man when it comes to night vision. and, uh, wow. Thank you, Spike. Hey, no problem. A little sneeze that just never came around. Man, oh man. Hey, no problem. That's not the problem. I was sitting here waiting to, uh, do the top of the hour thing and getting everything cleared up. And you said, I got to step away for a second. I got to find the mute button for a second. So take it away, Don. Well, thank you. You guys, you know, you look at the mainstream and they're beating up this sergeant, this returned prisoner of war slash hostage and you can't tell which party is talking about him as a prisoner of war and which is talking about him. They're using him as a political tool as hard as they can. You know, apparently the Afghanis didn't have any more use for him and so they let the tool go and now the tool is here. So no disrespect to the guy, but that's how everybody apparently sees him. We have this guy, let's see what we can get out of the American government. Let's see what we can pry, like a pry bar, like a tool. What we can pry out of the American government with this guy, hence the tool. But that five to one, that was a pretty good exchange. We've done deeper exchanges over the years. They are really beating this guy up. He walked away. He was a deserter. He left without even a gun. He went looking for the Taliban. Have you heard all of those? The worst one, it cost six men's lives looking for him. That might just have been a regular patrol. While they are on patrol, there are excuses they are looking for him. That's a vague statement. If it can be half of it, it will be proven well. There are those that are talking about bringing this guy back home. charging them somehow with something. So let's see what comes to that. On one hand, fearless leader is patting his parents on the back and smiling and everything. Let's see what happens when the things are bare. That's the thought line there. Because really right now they're confused. They don't know how to treat the guy. Prisoner of war, let's let them decompress. Can't talk to anybody for 72 hours or three days. course all during that time. As they're letting them decompress, they're, you know, what is that called? Oh, you know, they're downloading information from what happened in that time frame. He's not a computer, is he? So let's see what comes out of this and how hard they want to beat this guy up or what a villain they want to make him out to be. But if that were true, if they're really making it out that, well, this guy, he was lax, he was a deserter, all this and that, but they still traded five big wigs of the tally band there back for him. And that goes over to the United States. We'll never negotiate with terrorists. This is where they come up with the quandary. He was a prisoner of war. Well, show me the declaration, not to mention when you have different combatants in a particular area like the partisans or the insurgents or the regular military. When you look at different factions like that, what can happen when a person falls into Sometimes, when a flyer fell into the Viet Cong hands, sometimes he died right there. Sometimes he was moved up to a Vietnamese Army unit, and then from the Vietnamese Army unit moved north. That's just an example of, well, a little bit more, what would you call it, interdepartmental or inner service in that respect, cooperation. Down the chain. Yeah, so in some ways you have to think about it like sitting there for five years waiting for him to say, I wake up the last day and my head is attached to my body. That probably wasn't a whole lot of fun. And if he'd have known what he was getting into, he probably wouldn't have walked in that direction or probably wouldn't have left his gun at home, who knows, and what's the whole story and how hard they're going to hit this guy with it. Blame! We've got to blame him for something. But let's see how these cards hit the table, so to speak. I'm really as much anxious for this fellow as curious as to what will happen, Mark. But we'll just have to wait and see. Well, I'll tell you what we're trying to do here. I've got Captain Monahan here with an electrical problem that we're trying to deal with, and also experiment with a few other things in the process. Getting back. to the night vision, the phosphor issue. Guys, I've been looking at the photographic industry, the camera industry. Lenses that go on the front might be the right size to go on the back if we can come up with a rubber boot. And if we can do a wrap around or we can insert it inside the wrap around boot down, these would be some of the higher polymers or they would be glass. Either one would work for what we're doing. So that's one of the things I've been trying to negotiate is what can we find that is the right diameter. If it fits inside the rubber boot, it doesn't have to be perfect. If it sits inside some point in one of the folds, that would be effective enough. As long as it's a complete light seal, which it will be inside that rubber boot, We're looking at a way to accomplish this as a minimum task because we're now hitting the wall. In fact, something you pointed out this morning, I'd have to say that considering how many we were able to ID that were in the inventory only a few weeks ago, at the rate that they're going, by the time you've told everybody, we're probably going to be seeing the last of these out the door. So whoever's probably responding right now, you're the ones that are going to get the last of these first gen rifle sights that are as nice as they are. that are the actual culmination of the end of the space age now leading towards the broken parts and doing what you got. Again, all of the concepts of going to green screen, guys, all the testing was done, all the research was done. Nobody needs to, there's no way you can reinvent it and say, wow, you know, white light screen is going to be better for you. Really, if that's the case, government would have gone to that right away because the monocolored screens required, especially the variants, required special technology or technology tweaking. It wasn't extreme. But it did require technology tricking where phosphor screen was the norm. Back when green screen came out, black and white was the norm, guys, in even existing optical military application micro-technology. So do you think that maybe if they made a special effort, there might have been a reason? You see? That green that comes out is barely perceptible by an infrared or ultraviolet detector. a piece of night vision. It hardly registers at all, but white or red really would. Another reason that, again, we need to come up with a solution, we're working on that. We're actually going to be able to apply the mind towards a certain direction when the time comes once we know we're past this possibility, when we know that that's gone. So just taking into consideration, it's not like we're going to get caught flat-footed, in fact, just reverse. We will have an answer to the problem almost as quickly as it develops. So I'm happy and satisfied with that. A couple of other things here real quick before we go to the top because Don's still here. Actually, we're going to be going to the music here in just a moment. Remember, signal communications guys, the dealxtreme.com, the 888, you know, bop bop, radios. Before these were out, the Jingtongs were big and there's a lot of those still in the system. So guys, don't write them off because everybody's going, man, I should sell my old radio. The Jingtongs series of radios are fine radios. There's nothing wrong with them at all. Just the next way to put a box together to make it look unique or different, but it has nothing to do with necessarily being a better design. It's another design. I'm holding one of the others in my hand right now. Got it right here with rubber ducky on it. Anyway, we are at the top. Don, your number for Night Vision, please. That number is 2317968458.

He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We 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. Invist 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. Your conference recording has stopped. And your Christian values can't be taught. This conference is being recorded. 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 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 are 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of plan, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in this for once again. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside, you dream while you were asleep, And wondered what remains of his life.
