Live 365. 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 for 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, keep the torch of freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished and missed for once 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 him 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dil the land of the poor. across this nation, people thinking one and the same. When the stars and stripes forever... Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the Afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines and occupied territories west, central, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on AM and FM Microstitions, EV base stations and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. 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 and 5th the pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving to the left coast, we have the great state of Jefferson. We turn back to the E-Suite Cross Plains, leap over the Virginian Banks of the Mississippi, and land on the Smogies, slash the Blue Ridge. Where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the mob, the grandma consortium bring us the gold and spike. Many hands make the light work a million, petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. I'll tell you, Don, it is a beautiful, wet, rainy day here on our part of the state. The fields just got planted. They're getting moistened again. It's looking pretty good there. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the day today and what is this special day? It makes me want to just take magazine in one hand and trusty 1911 in the other and insert the magazine into the magazine well and touch that slide release so that, oh, we've got one in the chamber. And then we can tell everybody it is Weapons Wednesday. The perimeter is secure. And you know, there's plenty more where that came from. And that means we can offer equal opportunity, coercive force, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. It has been a very busy, busy week here and it's only Wednesday already guys for everybody out there as you know a couple of good deals with floating around but we're chasing the elusive M4E3 rifles that came in here as cop guns. Apparently they did come in cheap and their DPMS I would assume from one of the departments on the east coast by the sound of it but If anybody runs into them, again, a heads up guys. We want to try and grab these or snag these for people who need a less expensive AR-15. It's unusual that these have come in the way that they did, but they were a very cheap price on the wholesale end. So they've been able to offer them for a quick turnaround price, and they did. And everybody that's had them has kind of, well, they're gone. unheard of to see about $450 apiece on the wholesale end for quite some time. I don't believe these are really in like excellent or very good condition as far as their external finish. It sounds like they were trunk beaters. They're not pretty. They're on the inside. They're flawless, but on the outside they ain't pretty. Okay. They're typical issue firearms in that they've been off the rack and on the rack and off the rack and on the rack and off the rack. It was like the M16 I carried was a hydromatic guy, when I finally did carry an M16A1. And it had seen some mileage. It just really had seen some mileage. So that's exactly what was going on with these rifles. Typically they do have a painted number on the comb of the stock. Not relevant to the serial number, it was the rack number. Any indication, the numbers have been anywhere from 96, 84, 184, 214. So apparently there were a number of these. Probably one of the bigger departments had a bunch of these CAR 15 M4 knockoffs and A3 configuration. So if you run into them and you're really thinking about them, I would probably say buy them right on the spot because if they're in the 450 to 460, I understand one company had them for only a handful. They had them for $440 a piece. So if you spot it, do a real quick read up on it. If you have the ability to buy it, I recommend it. You can't beat it for the price. If you're going to go with an FFL type firearm, it's an AR-15. And by the way, with all the AR-15 spare stuff laying around, You could redress it however you wanted to. One of the advantages of this particular system is that it is an A3 flat top, which means Don's night vision slaps right on the roof of that gun, guys. Right off the bat. If you needed a place to put that first generation night vision device, that would be the place to go. So, again, something to think about and perhaps plot for. But if you do see it, I'd just say grab it. So the way you're going to be able to, if you hesitate, it will be gone. In fact, I would also say call to make sure they've got it because they might be slow on the pickup depending on the webpage they've got. And they could be just gone, gone, gone. Another thing, the bunny range deployment, we've got the next batch of stuff ready to go out. to the sites as far as food goes. We're accumulating, I'm going to say thank you, I just had a surprise donation here. And I got another confirmation, we got to meet in another part of the state to pick the rest of the stuff up. But we've got another pallet of mixed rice, beans, etc. Now we don't have a problem getting stuff out there, we just got to line up with our truck drivers at the other end here and make sure that we connect and load them up. So spices, we also got a bunch of spices of mixed type size food, you know, spice packets, which are really great, the big, you know, powder packets down. Guys, anything like that will help. Dry pack is fine. Dry powder and instant is better in many ways because you're looking at a hot environment. The stuff that's in the retort foil packs like the gravies and different types of powders for making up cheese or whatever are a good choice. If it's in cans, it's weight. Think about shipping it in. Water they can access. But what they need is the foodstuffs for variety themselves. And we've got a lot of stuff that's really mixed in terms of variety, but quantity. So I appreciate the guys going out and buying boxes of, you know, all you've got those powdered gravies and powdered flavorings on the shelf for spice mixes. They're in usually packs where they've got a display rack. Well, the guys went out and bought boxes of those. which means they're sealed up, they're ready to go and all we gotta do is pile them up in another larger box and they go with everything else. So we got the rice, we've got oatmeal, beans, brown rice actually turned out to be, I don't know why, but right now brown rice has been actually a little cheaper in certain locations for some of the guys and so that's what they've been buying. The white rice varies up and down, it's just as good. But now we've got all the toppings and everything. So the cooks can make this a unique meal. The other thing, again, the one thing we haven't really gotten a whole lot of is canned meats or meat products. But the other thing I was looking at is TBP, just to get some variety out there, chicken, beef, and whatever. The original bulk stuff. We have a company here that does 44-pound tubs. of whatever TBP you want. They actually manufacture right here in Michigan. And the factory is not very big. You wouldn't even know, Don, that it's there. I mean, you realize, like, what do they make there? Well, they make TBP products. Now, first time I went by that, this has been a decade and a half ago, it's like, what? They're the hub, where's the rest of the plant? And he goes, oh no, it's a mom and pop operation. They do everything right there. All the people are employed locally and they do 100% of the work right here. So I'm going to talk to them and see if they might even have a donation they can make. The people are pro-patriot and they're really up to speed on what's going on with the attack on the American middle class, etc. and they appreciate what's going on with the Bundy's. I've already know that for sure. So I'm going to meet up with them on either, well, either tomorrow or it's going to be Sunday. We'll see what happens. But definitely that's going to be a plus. Other than that, again, if you're going to be deploying out there, I can't stress enough. Rip, stop, clothing, guys. Don, it's hot. And desert environment, you want fluffy, you want oversized, you want to breathe. You can always add a layer to get warm, but the problem is shedding those calories during the day. And shade is another thing. I would highly recommend a camouflaged umbrella. Most people don't think about that. carrying your own shade. You know, the Japanese use the paper umbrellas. Common sense logic. It wasn't just decoration and concealment of our own. It was so pretty, Don! Only because it was so pretty. They carried it because they get some really extreme temperatures there too. Japan's like any other temperate part of the planet. And camouflage umbrellas, there are some... Every one of the modern camos is available from China Sport cheap. Guys, if you do a search, I was doing a search last week and I found several locations that have these extra large umbrellas like you find for the football events. In every one of the newer desert or military patterns you can go with even, you can even get eight colored desert which is multi-cam but the digital desert, the marine digital desert, you can get the new smoky stuff that's out there. I don't care what it is, the idea is to get something in the camouflage the right color range and take it with you as overhead cover just to move around. Don't think twice about it. Make your own shade. That standoff eliminates a lot of calorie absorption by your body. You're a big water bag. And when you're moving in the desert, well, let's just say that the more calories you collect, the harder it is to get rid of them. And body does that, but it does in ways that will make you... Why can't I get any spit? I think you're running out of moisture. Well, I don't feel so good at plop. Is that a mountain or a cloud? Yeah. I feel so good. temperate and summer boots in actually pretty good sizes for a reasonable price. Most of them sold out in the last couple days I noticed too. It's what I suspect. I haven't seen these very often. They're in the sage green boot color. Sage green, like what you find in the desert area out there in terms of ground cover. The color range is perfect. They do have some 13.5 wides. Now I know that's like kicking two cows on the rear end for making a pair of boots. That's not really extreme yet, but they had some 16s. Those are already sold out. I expected that. But if you go to govliquidation.com and then go to Uncle Sam's retail outlet, go into the sales and also into the clearance section and scroll up to the higher end items, they're still not expensive by comparison. When you look at big pairs of boots, paying $100 for a big pair of boots is norm. for about $36 to $44 you're looking at size 13.5 in a, you know, not in a narrow but in a wide or a regular, mostly in wides and bigger and they are there and they're in the Air Force Sage. Now those are actually pretty good boots and I would recommend them. I just didn't expect to see any in servos because we haven't seen any. The other thing is the Desert Suede Browns. Those are out there still. Get something that's going to breathe. But, again, it's got to be durable enough to handle the environment. Remember also the cleat, the type of cleat that the Buddha's made out of, made for, in terms of the pattern. It's all built around that soul. Well, it's got the larger lug, what used to be called the tropical cleat, or Panama cleat, that they came up with years ago. And that Panama cleat, kind of like the ribs on a military truck tire or a jeep tire like you've seen in the past. is more conducive to the terrain and the sand that you're going to be dealing with. So there's something to think about there. Again, it's not difficult to find the gear, especially in the surplus and brand new. Right now I'm searching for on request and also even for myself. Elbow and knee pads in Woodland camouflage, but also in the three-colored desert. And I found some great prices. So you shop around, you got to get the elbow pads in one place. They don't have the knee pads. Go to the other location, they got the knee pads. They don't have the elbow pads. That's how this stuff shows up where they buy the pallet right now from the government. They just throw all this garbage in the bins and there's like 600 pairs of Coyote knee pads, 500 pairs of ACU elbow pads. They don't show up all in the same place and they don't even worry about sorting them to match them up or anything. They just go out as is. So the company that buys them gets part of this and part of that. You've got to shop around. Don't get frustrated. Use your brain. And then, you know, again, do a running log and keep track of what it is you're looking for. OK? By the way, thank you for Kentucky Guide Gear Umbrella Blind Camo and that's Ground Blinds at Sportsman's Guide also, a Kess, let's see what they got here. Those are actually in the, well that's in the oak pattern, which probably wouldn't be bad even out there too because it's got enough of the brown range in it and it's got a little bit of the mixed in darker colors. That would be a workable. Of course that one nails right to a tree too, so that's another consideration. I don't think we have any trees out there, but it can be adaptable to a lot of other environments too. What we're looking at is something that again you can carry as needed, and you can find it in different color ranges. An example is at Sportsman's Guide Bill. They do have them there, and they're running a whopping $13.50 for shade. I think that's affordable. You know what I mean? Plus it's in a camouflage pattern. So just take a look, give you an idea of what we're discussing here. There are different patterns available. I would go in the brown and the birth brown and savannah tan range for obvious reasons out there. And I do have green and that's why the mixed color where you have light dark will help to adapt to pretty much everything. If you get near the water, there actually still is some green on the ground. Not much, but that's all. That's okay. So that's a good solution. Thanks for our guys in the chat room there. Don, we're almost at the bottom of the hour. You're a number for Tech Vision Technology because we have a bottom of the hour break coming up. How can we hold you? What's available? And what's happening with the count on the first gen and the green screen before they run out? Well, I don't have today's count, but I have no doubt it's dwindling. I don't have today's count in the ways, but I'm waiting. for perhaps the last of a few stragglers to get in on that. If you're not too far away, you might be able to get one of the last few. Well, that object we've been talking about for the last while is that first generation's two gun sight to half capable. It is truly a gun sight that to the extent that you would live through the recoil of your .308 manufacturer is going to say it's not going to recoil for two years into your weiner or your Picatinny rail. and It's like a little mouthpiece. on my September fight night beam. But if you're looking, my number is 2317968458. Somebody called and asked about, can we do this on second generation? We've got a smaller number to meet here, but I can go to 1248 and then put a second generation gun sight in your mailbox. Again, 308 capable. It will thumb screw onto your 7.8s or your one inch rail. And it is a second generation device right in your mailbox. My number is 2317968458. And again, I wanted to talk about the little things just for a minute Mark. The little things like we've done as of late like, you're not throwing those dead flashlight bodies away are you? With an LED infrared LED in there. It'll be a nice forward deploy illuminator for a smaller area. You could even set it up that when that twig moves or when that wire is pulled then it comes on and if you're scanning a great area with that you can use it as a light alarm and that will make you aware that something's going on in that area. Just you know one of the ways to make your night vision work for you guys, it's hard to be in more than one place at any given time, isn't it? I'm certain most of us would agree. I don't have that Captain Kirk maneuver to where I can make the ship look like it's in two places at once. I still find it hard to believe, even at the speed of light. But at any rate, I guess that has to do with human reflexes, Mark. But you guys, if you're looking for a piece of night vision, be it a goggle, gun sight, green screen, or thermal, I can go over to a thermal gun sight too, but now we're looking at...

That's the word from the trenches every Monday through Friday with Henry Shively and J.D. Check it out. Mark, Intel report. It is Weapons Wednesday. Don, continue. You are on the thought line, please. Thank you, Mark. You guys, you know, it's Weapons Wednesday. I was in a, or a sheet truck, and look at all kinds of things that come out of a, you know, basically not a house in the city. That's one way to put it like a whole lot of guns because the old timer there He'd passed a few years ago and his wife just went to join him here this last little while So there's all kinds of things are there's musical instruments and everything but are you guys I stood there and watched the guns Being auctioned off and mark, you know that a crossman pump 22 caliber not the 17 went for like 140 bucks now There was a .308 pump gun there. I asked the auctioneer as he's talking it up where are the magazines and all of the magazines were inside so I don't know the capacity of the magazine. But it was a .308, I think it was a Remington it might have been a pump gun like a shotgun you guys. That bid to like $625. Now, I looked at it and thought, well, it's a .308, it's a little bit more dependable probably than almost any automatic out there, semi-auto gun, you know what I mean? Because it's like manually operated and that pump technology's been around for a long time, that mechanical motion. But no doubt a number of people in the crowd were looking at it like that. That's kind of a rare gun because you know what? I haven't seen a whole lot of those in my day. Maybe, you know, it was one of the locals who remembered Frank and wanted that gun, but it went to somebody right around town here. A little Marlin camp 22, rather, they called it out as a 9 at first and somebody pointed out it was a Marlin 22, like a camp 22. I don't remember, but it was well over $200. Now, one might say that, oh, this is auction fever and people are just, you know, bidding things up just because they want to take it from the other guy who just outbid them. But you guys, guns ain't cheap no more. I thought I'd mention that now. A couple of other things came out of that. But you guys, I'm looking around at the crowd and I was amazed that there were a number of pump shotguns, there was a semi-auto shotgun. There were probably 12 if not 14 shotguns and rifles that didn't take long to bid away, Mark. That was good to see. But again, it only examples even at places where you think well guns wouldn't cost a whole lot at like an estate auction. People are taking that I know what it's worth and I know what I can and can't get out there in the world because well that kind of references over to I know what it's worth or the driving portion of a market, if you know what it's worth, there is the other question that comes into making bargains like that. What am I willing to give for it? Now a couple of times through the auction mark, it was heard rumbling, or at least a low grumble in the crowd that guns are for buying, not for selling. I don't know who said that, but let me say that the other guy says I rather enjoy doing that. But I saw in a state say, oh, the guns went out to people who are back here in the country. This was a good thing. I saw no ammunition, no bullets, no loading gear, anything along those lines. I just thought I'd mention that. World War I or World War II mortars or anything, dang darn it darn it, nothing like that came out. No crates of hand grenades or anything like that. No clay mores. Again, for the other side that's listening, I just thought I'd talk about private gun sales there that make a bid. There it goes. That's always good to see. It's good to see because I recognize the number of faces in the crowd. They were people you see at the grocery store or whatnot. They didn't go far. That's another good thing. Again, guns are for buying, not for selling, but if you can get them at an auction. We've tried to point this out a number of times. That might be a place to get something cheaper than you could most any place else, even a lot of gun shows as of late. I don't know what you would pay. Oh, there was a Steven's single shot breakdown. It went for, I think, 220 for a single shot, a folder gun. I think it was a 12 gauge. Great gun to give the boy about the time he runs past 12 or 14 depending on how big he is to carry him to the woods and shoot that rabbit, shoot that bird. But if he's really close, let him run out a little bit, boy. Let him run out a little bit. At any rate, I thought I'd mention that, Mark. One of the things to watch is yard sales this time of year. Every once in a while, something's going to slip through. I would point out that if you see any kind of bolt gun, I don't care what it is, or if it's an orphan caliber, if you see it for under $100, buy it. Number one, doesn't have any paperwork. Number two, probably has been sitting in a closet or been sitting in an inventory, depending on how old it is, for a long time, and there's no traceability to where it came from or where it went. So, for $100 or less, you're looking at, especially for center fire rifles, if it's an old military weapon, the ammunition is available. You just need to prioritize right off the bat if you get the weapon, figuring out what it is, and buying at least a couple hundred rounds immediately. That weapon is priceless in the future fight that we're looking at because that couple hundred rounds and that weapon can be deployed as a security firearm. If it's a main battle rifle like a K-98, a NAGOT rifle, even a British land field, which I'm not down riding those, there's still lots of them, there's millions of them still in people's hands. Ammunition's out there but it's not surplus ammo like it used to be. The last of the great battle rifles that's out there for reasonable prices, the 7.62x54R. But you run into all kinds of unique things out there. Even those 22s, it doesn't have any paperwork, an old Glenfield, an old Mossberg, an old Stevens, an old Savage. Well, they're not tough with a lion's savage. Those savages were just as well made as anything else. And 22s are pretty straightforward to build. There's not a whole lot you can do to make them wrong. They're very forgiving. It's one of those categories, which is why they've always been so popular. A 22, a face full of 22, or an ear full of 22, or in the right place dealing with something that is a problem, and then taking what the black uniform, knuckle dragging uniform goon is, you know, carrying, upgrades you real quick. and having those weapons cache not all piled up is spread out of course you may pile up by the time you're done you get a whole pile of stuff in different places it happens but uh... remember that it's only a fingernail scratching of your overall inventory which is in the thousands by the time you're done especially if you run into a cache of stuff I've run into this before guys the gentleman said well I've got a whole bunch of things over here in the in the pump room and I open up the door and there's like what seven or eight styrostrate poles Two or three British Enfields, number five Jungle Carbine, two or three Argentine Mausers. The Argentine Mauser is a tack driver. It's a pre-98 action, so it cocks on the clothes, guys. That's one thing you've got to get used to. There are different Mausers out there. But it is a beautiful, beautiful firearm that will get the job done. And the 765 Argentine is comparable to .30-06. Well, if you run into a pile of that, something like that, and you go, oh, what do you want for it? Oh, give me $185. And there's 27 rifles sitting there. Well, duh! It's like sure now the finish was all was they were they had a patima someone had a patima of rust because they had no maintenance done, but it was a consistent and light surface activity that was easily neutralized and painted and those rifles are now in separated by type in other words all the nut stair straight pulls went with the other stair straight pills which used to get for $19 apiece guys What Dom's talking about those 22s used to go for what? $25 $25 sold twenty five dollars exactly sold think about it i mean it's like every weapon you describe the majority of those lines shared the twenty five to forty five dollar reasonably priced weapon here's the problem our money has been devalued too so things of value that have long-term value are now expressing the devaluation of our currency then this is right in line with what i said i mean i'm going to work on right now the same guns that we were looking at only two years ago while we were bringing up that to everybody out there on the air. Pocket pistols, Makarovs have been a little higher for quite some time, but the PA-64s and the FEG knockoffs of the basically they're like a little bit of a steroid version of the Walter PPK. Guys, these guns have been under $100. That's why I recommended them. The Nagat revolvers, under $100. That's the only reason I brought them up for you. Now, if any of you bought those, you're sure as hell not selling them for $80 now, are you? Oh, no, remember. Remember buying. Yeah, exactly. But if you did go out to sell it, you're not selling it for under $100 anymore. I mean the bottom line is that you can walk out and easily just with a little sign on your back or a little thing over your shoulder with another gun, you know, like a stick, like a gun shelf guy wants to sell stuff quick, put a little flag with a stick, you know, a stick going in the barrel, you know, you know, naygot revolver, $130, you know, a Mossberg shotgun, you know, $200 and you know, see who steps up and has an interest in it. Now, inflate the price maybe a little bit because you're willing to come down. That's part of the bartering and dickering thing. You're supposed to learn to work as an adult. And you end up with the price you want. They end up with a price they're happy with, but you made out well. So, the other consideration is in the long run, remember, ordinance trades are going to be something that's part of the horse trading of a wartime situation. If you have a handful of weapons that are of the same caliber and you have ammunition for them and even the maintenance equipment for them, but they're in an odd man out system, they're worth trading. Somebody who doesn't have anything now has something. See how that works. The other thing is routing material like this. I've always had a policy, I've had no second thoughts during the process of being in the Patriot movement. I started to collect seven, five French weapons and ammo years ago because it came in cheap. Back in the 80s there was a wave of it and there was another wave in the early 90s. The Moss rifles in semi-automatic, they were the Legion's guns, these are the modified Mosses. Grenade launcher, they came in 7.5 French. and then they rechambered a bunch of them in .308. Well, we've got a unit here that they really like. I do like the rifle. It's built like a French brick doghouse, guys. It is. When you pick up one of these weapons, it's like, that's got fuel to it, right? And it's a really comfortable weapon to the shoulder and it's a comfortable weapon to fire, but it's in 7.5 French. Well, one of the militia units here that's not too far away, they started buying the French ammunition back when it was cheap and they bought pallets of it. So they decided they'd carry the 7.5 French because they liked the rifle just like I do. Then they started running into Moss bolt guns. So we started routing them that way. Now I got some of those weapons for free. One or two of them. And those weapons went to them for free. Why? Because I know that they're going to a good person's hands. Now, other cases, if I got them for a good price, I scarfed them up because I knew I could route them to a place where they have a man I could count on, who every time there's been a standoff or something, that group has always showed up. So am I an idiot? Am I going to snub them? Or am I going to help them? You see? So that's one of the other reasons we want to consolidate, start to route, you know, if we did this across the board with the odds and ends equipment like this that we run into, then we have the ability to upgrade progressively and, you know, change the dynamic of the military performance of that militia unit. And some units have a lot of 303s. They have 303s in 308 in standard 762 NATO. Those guns work very well. Those guns are very serviceable. Those are the things that we need to be looking at in routing to the area of interest so that by the time we're done all their spare parts are in the same place, magazines are the same, calibers are common. Some of you, as I've pointed out, if you've done this before and I appreciate it, you've de-linked ammunition. In the process of de-linking ammunition, you've also been able to save a lot of links in particular machine gun types that are not standard. Well, you may not have one, but let me put it this way. A lot of stuff came back from World War II and Korea and Vietnam. Somebody else might. So let's make a point of collecting those accordingly and hanging on to them to make sure that they're safe and secure. Don't throw them away. Don't get rid of them. Don't let them rust in the garage. Collect them, put them together, bag them up. If you want to send them to PBN, P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan, we'll route them somewhere where somebody might have an idea what to do with them. But anything, military-oriented, anything, ordinance or any category, right now I see nothing going down. I mean, there have been some price variances or adjustments as far as when people say, well, there's a glut on the market, so to speak, or it's been building up. in very narrow burps. Otherwise, as is the case with especially people who used to be aficionados of the auction, the auctions have not been a cheap affair anymore. Although one of our friends did make a hell of a purchase the other day. He was in the right place at the right time. He's looking for bags now for that particular arm to build up the magazine inventory. But for the most part it's reflecting the attitude out there in general. Everybody knows that there's this conflict coming in the US. The atomic structure of this country is so askew that it is going to have to either be, you know, again, fixed or you're going to have the reaction and then, you know, boom, the explosion and then it'll readjust. And we can't let it adjust towards the hammer and sickle. We've got to get rid of this. We have to. We have to we won't survive it otherwise we've been working killers. Well they plan on killing you They already told you kill the gun owners a little joke was killed NRA because as we've seen a couple of the articles here Don recently The NRA just did what I've warned everybody about and you all know about time and again It's not like we haven't seen this before they were ridiculing the open carry some of the open carry guys in Texas and A bunch of the open carry guys in Texas and the whole organization said, really? Well, we don't piss on our own people. So stuff at Clowney and they started cutting up NRA cards. The NRA just did a reversal and said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it was a staffer that did this. Well, you read it anyway and approved it and did it and made it as an official comment of the NRA. So that staffer is fired, right? See, this has happened every time. They always find this. It was a peon with his own attitude. No, it's not. It's what they're saying in the Glass Palace over there in NRAville, in the Glass Palace headquarters, where you peons, of course, are going to be sold out one after another, after another, after another. So it's kind of a joke on the one hand. It's like, kill the gunners, kill the NRA members. Well, if they're willing to say that they'll kill you and you have weapons in hand, what do you think they're going to do when they get your weapons? Don, do you think anybody out there listening is going to, shall we say, on the keeper list? Oh no. Yeah. So just something to think about. From the one hand, the weapons, the sales of arms and the type of weapons, what's happening out there, is a reflection of attitude in general. The only problem is if it's 22 down, it's like, well, you mean you can find 22 ammo? Well, yes, actually, we're finding little bricks of it here, little pieces of it there. But as soon as people find out it's there, it's gone. The only reason that we don't have the shark attacks that we saw before where everybody's milling about at point blank range is that you've got other things to do with your life. But the moment anybody finds out that the ammunition is there, guys, what happens? Because that's one of the comments that was made over the last weekend, a week ago, about the whole idea, well actually last weekend, on Saturday that, well yeah, there's ammunition that shows up, but then as soon as anybody's walking out with a box or somebody is, you know, zeroing towards the sporting goods section, it's like, you look over 22 ammo, they got it right now. And there's like three bricks available, or 10 bricks available, and it's like, yeah, it's come down a little in some places, they might have a better box price because they bought a pile of it. But guess what? All that means is that more people sweep in and call their buddies and within about 15 minutes there's nothing there. It's gone. It's not there anymore. So, it's just a matter of people have to do other things with their lives. That's why the variance is all you know, it seems like it's, well, it's, there's more available. Well, yeah, you see it for a minute, but as soon as everybody finds out about it, then they've got to become more efficient at targeting and zeroing in and carrying the stuff away. Just keep that in mind, too. Anyway, Dom, tell you what, jump in there, night vision technology, go through the whole coverage again, please, I've got to grab something here real quick. Okay. You guys, gun sights are goggles, green screens are thermal. My number is 2317968458. There are a few of those first generation 2 power, actually 2.5 power, gun sights available, green screen. 308 capable, it'll thumb screw down onto your Weaver or your Picatinny rail. seven eights or one inch rail respectively. There are a few of them left. If you want to get in on that, you guys, that's $375 right in your mailbox. We are still enjoying that, the advantage of that bulk purchase. And I can do that for $375 right in your mailbox, you guys. If you want to go up, because the second generation is going to remain green screen. If you want to look at a second generation gun sight, if you want to gang up on me, you guys, five of them. will lower the price by $52 per unit. That turns right around to you. That's $1,248 right in your mailbox. My number is 231-796-8458. Goggles are gun sights, screens screens or thermal. That second generation gun sight again, that's 2 power. It is .308 capable. It'll live on top of your AR-10. your FN FAL, no problem there. We're looking at a green screen, a red reticle. You guys, we haven't brought this. I mentioned this the other day and haven't mentioned it in a long time and somebody called me on it that took delivery of one of the first generation devices. Oh man, when I adjust that reticle it moves around. That's acceptable in this venue because it would cost almost double the, well, about half again the cost of the device to keep that reticle in one place and move the tube. They used to move the whole device, you guys, on an external adjustment like an LCAN adjustment or some other military mount adjustments. But that is subject to grime and dirt and other things. So to simply attach the device to the rifle and then do all the adjustments internally, much like a daylight scope, you remain a lot more in control. That's the whole thought line there. But if you're looking for goggles, gunsights, green screens or thermal binoculars, something that will hang from your helmet or your headgear, My numbers I can even if you're looking for a first-generation goggle you guys with headgear and a two tube system right in your mailbox for like 580 bucks That's a two tube system.

Hey, by the way, real quick Don, there's a story before you go. Well, people are getting caught up in the taking guns to Mexico or to Honduras or any of these guys. No other part of the Americas have anything other than royalty carrying guns. Do you all understand that? You know, you do, buddy. Yeah, U.S. citizens jailed in Honduras and Mexico due to accidental gun cases. Well, my problem with that is watching too many movies as opposed to understanding that if you are in Mexico royalty, the communist royalty, that's what the Federales are. They're the old communist Jewish party members who in Mexico took over there the way the Jewish Communist Party took over in Russia. And they get it. You don't. And for most of you, you don't realize that their royalty vehicles are marked the whole nine yards. So, yeah, there are other tiers of the system in place, of government, etc. But the Federales are the old Jewish mob that took over, ran the 1917 Communist Revolution in Mexico. They are the Communist Federales. If you have a bullet, if they want to look cross-eyed at you, all the laws around the books for just having even an empty spent cartridge case. Well, I was using my luggage. This is one of the reasons when I go places. We use sterile. There are many cases where we just want to go sterile completely. Everything you carry is brand new. Everything you have is throwaway. And if you have to leave, it's not, I've got to go back to my room and pack my luggage. Have you ever noticed in movies how that happens, Don? Well, I had to go back to my room and they caught me in my room and it's like, why? What did you have in your room that was worth your life? I had underwear and T-shirts! And it's like, underwear? That was worth your life. Yeah, and you had to go back and back, pack it up because it's important. It's like, how? Okay, just something to think about there guys. Well the same is true when you're going into these countries. Remember, these are skank operations where, you know, again, the communists especially are fixated on attacking anybody who is of course, well, not part of the regime or not part of the party. And for that reason, these guys, well, I thought it was okay to fill in the blank. And it's like, well, sorry guys, it's just the way the scam works. It's a choice to interrupt you there, okay? So anyway, it's interesting that Honduras is the same thing. Helplofster, Fisherman, blah blah blah blah blah, he sent a group of six people down. And well, they kind of got in trouble. And they didn't know that Honduras had all these evil gun law thingies. Well, congratulations kids. That's what the communists are good for. Anyway, it was on a salvage ship. They had a gun that was stowed aboard. Now the rest is history. A gun. to protect from pirates. Yeah, which, of course, it's okay if you're killed by the pirates, just provided the government doesn't have to worry if they want to ransack, rape, or kill or pillage your friend. You, well, you need to be a disarmed slave. That's all they look at. We're at the top here. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order.

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. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control for 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 stand with?
