Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for 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 for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is to still the land of the free? Where up mark visitor from the past just ended and good Evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. And I'm Don Butcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... liberty three radio dot for m g dot com in the effort to talk radio dot com ronald mhm micro stations c b stations and ultra net technology is east and west of the mississippi along with alaska well more network from the top of maine to the bottom of florida from above a four-crossy ark of the gulf of mexico headed louisiana mississippi texas oklahoma picture of the rascal open to wyoming to include both the third fifty our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast we have the great state of Jefferson. We turn back to the east weep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi. And the land in the Smoky slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for like a million petticoat junction type operators. Well Don, it's been wet and rainy on and off here. We had thunderstorms roll through the area that has subsided and it's actually It cooled down dramatically in the area too by the way. We had humidity, obviously. We got extreme humidity with the rain, but we also had a temperature drop. What's the liking of the woods? What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall up there? Well, it is the 18th day of June, year of our Lord 2014. It was looking like it wanted to rain all day and it dotted the windows for a little while and then it rained for about 10 minutes around 2 o'clock and then it quit. But it looks like it wants to rain again and it's probably headed your way at about 7 miles an hour. So again, the 18th day of June 2014. And it is a particular day which requires a certain motion and those motions result in sounds like this. Oh yeah, that was the magazine in the chamber and the slide jumping to battery and now we've got one in the chamber. And I can tell you that it is Weapons Wednesday. The perimeter is secure and there's plenty more where that came from. So we can now offer equal opportunity, coercive force, as needed to save ourselves or our friends from harm. Well it has been a beautiful day here, by the way, before we go any farther, freedom, pollution, freedom, pollution, freedom, pollution, www.freedompollusa.com. And where is that? you can go to yes and w w w dot poker face dot com w w w dot poker face dot com poker face dot com well freedom police is going to bring the through and the six of july so just around the corner guys that's the big rock concert patriot meetup you name it people are going to be there you can camp out you can sit there for the weekend if you want just lay back relax and absorb all the friends and all the good times will be had there gladiatorial fights policy big-time wrestling dog racing i believe we're going to have clean on battle of live blood sport competition survivors will of course be awarded if there anybody parts left still attached all women well we probably have the dogs Yeah, we probably aren't going to have the gladiatorial sports thing. We might have Klingons, good. But most likely we're just going to have a great time and barbecue and all kinds of the good things. But in order for that to happen, you've got to be there. So to find out more, go to freedompalooza.com. And for our friends in the chat, if you would take the time and post that for everybody there so they can go to the web page. freedompalooza.com and definitely going to be a great time will be had by all just never knows to be there speaking but of course uh... again you gotta get there to find out what's it going on and as they say what happened so we're definitely going to take advantage of you know pass the word on to everybody here while we can so we can stack that put as many people on the ground as we can to have a good time again that's freedompalooza.com or www.pokerface.com. Take your pick and again when you get there, well, a lot of good friends and going to get a lot of good food and find ear candy in the process. Poker Face will be playing there through the weekend, along with other bands, though. He's not the only one. They're not the only ones. And they're promoting, trying to get more people on the ground there. So I think even if you were late getting there, if you're listening and you have a band, give Paul a call now. You never know. I'm sure that with four days worth of entertainment activities, etc., working the schedule out so you'll be up there picking up the guitar or maybe you're in the Jess Rotol vein. I'd like to see you do a somersault from off stage, hit the ground running, playing the flute with the guitar over your shoulder and kicking off your greatest hits. Not even stopping to catch your breath. That's right. You think I'm joking about Ian Anderson with Jess Rotol? Oh no. That's the scary part. Coming up on stage, doing a somersault, hitting the ground running, and playing the flute while and starting to play the flute before you hit the ground. Try that three times over. Try doing that every day as, shall we say, to make a living. Ooh, dudes. Every once in a while you just got to figure if you ever played the flute before. Yeah, those teeth got a bang on that metal once in a while, not so good for you. Ooh, that had hurt. So anyway, again, freedompalusa.com, freedompalusa.com, freedompalusa.com. Don, Night Vision technology, kind of talked about the AKs. Well, actually, the AR-15, one of the things we got into during the tour block. and the variances on the theme stoner's ideas but then we also get into the uh... a cable more of the seminar of idea the seminar of a family of weapons and you know the where they went with uh... their concepts or striking off is in there somewhere for the nb r is me battle rifles but all of them and both sides of the Warsaw Pact understood the value of night vision technology going from what is considered generation zero with uh... you know it was uh... infrared and working through all of the early, mid and late models of early starlight, well actually early infrared, but it's still with illuminators you could see at night, so there was an eye in the darkness it could perform. And then in the starlight, all of these technologies, both sides perfected, right now we can access it, what do you have available? What is going on with the first gen scopes, because we know that they're coming to the end there in a certain model, and how can we get hold of you once we do find out what we want? Well, we're in the teens on that 350 Guardian, the device we've been offering for a couple months now at 375, because we did a bundle purchase that allows us to continue that price. So you guys, the next step up is a four power. It's about $40 more. That's why I was offering the other one, well, 40 bucks is 40 bucks. And when I tell you, The difference between 2 and 4 power at night isn't a whole lot. I would hope you trust me on that. You have a narrower field of vision, but it just depends on your yardage. If you're working out west or if you're working in the hills of Virginia, and even you can get some long yardages working even in the hills sometimes, that device will be gone in just a little while. We'll move up to the 390. I think they call that the Paladin. power. Again, that'll be about another 40 bucks. Let's see what we can do in that department. I'd have to look right at the paperwork. But if I remember right, I stole that from Van Morrison. But if I remember right, it's about $40 more. It might be $38. It might be $42. But you know what? I won't dwell on that right now, although I seem to, until I have a definite price for you next time. We can look at a second generation device. I can put that in your mailbox for $1,300. I can do $1,248 now. Now, I was thinking before the hour mark, I've never offered a second generation gun sight at that price. That's the lowest I think I've ever offered a second generation gun sight. $1,248. It's two power. It's .308 capable. It'll thumb screw down onto your Weaver or your Picatinny, your 7.8s or your one inch rail respectively. Again, it will live on top of your M1, your AR10, your FN, no problem. My number is 231-796-58. If you want to talk, we can talk about a thermal gun sight that will live on top of your 308. We can move up and talk about a thermal gun sight that will live on top of your 50. My number is 231-796-8458. that night vision thought for a little while, you're moving through the area. And I'll do this just to emphasize that army of one. You're moving through an area and because you're alone, you're not moving along the road, right? Makes sense to me. So you're moving through the woods along the edge of the road and sometimes where the road curves, you might go deeper into the woods because your map tells you that it will be shorter than following the curve of the road. Now there's a number of things right there. You're traveling under cover. You're traveling using your map. You've noted all of that. But now all of a sudden while you're traveling you note that something ain't right over there. You bring up the night vision and you look and you see a couple of people just starting to take cover because perhaps you must assume that they've already seen you. Now, you look to cover, right? You might move toward, you might move parallel, you might move away depending on how many people you see and depending on what you want to do. Depending on what you're seeing down behind it, trying to bring the gun around to one side, somebody can maneuver and shoot you in the hip or in the leg depending on if they have line of sight. To it granted, I know about tall grass and all kinds of other things, but they would Gain a target sooner if you were laying down than if you were standing up behind the tree. It has to do with the angles around the cover and you know line of sight and all of that and how farther you are away from that cover. Think about it for a while. Now we've addressed this. I bring this to the hour because I want to carry on that thought. I want to elaborate on it a little bit. You have stepped behind a tree that you move to your left to gain. Okay, and as you get there, well, you bring the gun up and you're right-handed and everything falls into place and you're trying to look at the two people, but you've lost track of one during the motion. You look and you see the other one. He ducks his head a little bit. So you're certain where one is. But now here we've talked about a team of one and here we've talked about flanking so many times. The guy doesn't want to lay down because he wants to stay more mobile because there's cover over there and there's cover over there and perhaps he can extract himself or perhaps one might be able to extract oneself, you or me, from this situation if need be unless you want to continue the engagement. Now, that fellow that you've lost track of has moved 30 degrees to your left and when you're trying to bring that gun to bear on the guy that you know, You're pretty solid cover save for maybe your your hand your forearm in the front of your gun to that guy because he's moved to a position where he has put more of the tree between you and him. But if he moves another 30 degrees, maybe another 50 degrees, he'll shoot you in the back across your shoulders. Now, again, I use that as a fan. The approaching flanking action from your opponent and one person. If you are one person, it would be best to continue to try to extract. Moving away will lessen that angle that that other person is trying to gain. Being able to shoot from both sides of the tree will lessen your exposure to both of your pursuits. See how that works? That's just one example. of learning to shoot left-handed and right-handed because it might come down to a time. Man, all you got is one big tree. And as they try to move around you, as even if it's just two people, as they try to flank you, that tree will become narrower and narrower until it is almost a twig that you are trying to hide behind. You will have to deal with one or the other to reduce that leverage they are creating on you. See how that worked? But again, The ability I do this to only underscore what we've been talking about as of late. The ability to shoot left-handed and right-handed. The same gun. Under-mentioned and under-valued in conversation that it's almost forgotten. I could almost say, you heard it here first, but that's not true. You've heard it before, but we underscore this because, well, we haven't heard it enough as of late. Mark, I yield to you, sir. One of the other things to remember is minimal target, minimal option for the enemy. The ID behind us takes full advantage of covering concealment. That is the first rule, take cover. If you are in fact making contact, take cover, take cover, take cover. Now, you may have to do a quick evaluation. If you have a situation where it appears you're in a prepared kill zone, then needless to say, and that's where you're going to have to make the decision about how you're going to affect your action. Staying in the kill zone is not an option. You can't do that. Wounded may have to stay in the position but should continue to engage your innate kill keyword k i l l killed zone uh... the idea is not to keep you but to get rid of you so that's why you need to be engineering your brain when it comes to fighting to save your life what it comes to cover and concealment using both covering concealment the idea is to minimize exposure from what is effective uh... cover so that you actually have some protection should you be drawn upon and chances are you are going to be in a firefight. Number two is remember concealment. If they can't see you, it's less likely they're going to be able to hit you. They may still guesstimate. Reconnaissance by fire. Everybody uses that. So don't be surprised when it happens. We've already warned you about it. Recon by fire! And you just dump some rounds in an area and look to see what squiggles out or flops over. So, remember, cover in combination with concealment is always the first best choice. Once you understand that and you've got that pretty well, you know, batten down in the brain pan in the lumber yard, then the next step is how to use what you have. And this is where we talk about minimizing exposure. I've seen, for whatever reason, all the lessons that we've learned for 40 and 50 and 60 years, if not close to a century now, this year 2014. We get into World War I in 1917. But don't worry, we were in a lot of other actions before that against modern infantry with modern weapons that could kill you dead, dead, dead. Okay? So a lot of lessons that we learned certainly have not changed, but it's fascinating how people are trying to dumb our troops down. In fact, they have done that to a degree. First of all, reducing our rifle marksmanship potential by arguing that, well, there's just no sense in turning past 200 yards or you know, you won't be engaging past 200 yards, etc. Changing the mindset and changing the box that the troops are in. We need to completely erase that idea. That's one of the first things that has to be gone from everybody's brain. We're not on an equal toe for toe, toe to toe, equal opportunity dying time situation. It's not going to be that way, guys. We have to look at supremacy in every category. This includes using the terrain, using the environment, and not exposing ourselves. Rule number one, if there's anything that you can get near, try to use it. This is even in any kind of stop that takes place as Don was pointing out. If you're standing, always gravitate towards something that offers to shield you in some way. No, will it stop a bullet? No, a five or six inch round tree is not going to stop a whole lot of bullet. Oh no. But what it will do is block your total image. Now, remember that that tree you're behind may only be five inches and you're a lot girthier than that. But consider where you are in proportion to the probable arrangement with regard to your aggressor. The more of your actual person that's covered, the more it will be disrupted as you move farther away from the epicenter of your activity, no matter what direction you're, you know, people are approaching you from. Think about it. if you put the tree between you and the probable approach of an aggressor or any object, I don't care what it is, you've already minimized the actual image that can be projected and calculated to be a human figure, a human silhouette. Now take into consideration when you're looking at areas, how dense is the amount of material and shall we say, optical data that confuses things with every so many feet? Is there something else in line of sight that interrupts the in-line of sight observation of you. The more of this that exists, the less likely it is that you are directly observed, at least based upon your calculation, looking at how you've decided to take advantage of concealment in the process of motion. Needless to say, walls, brick walls, ditches, trenches, all kinds of fun stuff like that offer complete protection from at least a direct line of approach image that somebody's collecting while they're using binoculars, they're using night vision, they're using their eyes, they could be using scopes, they could be using whatever tool they have. consider that they're also in tunnel vision technique there too when they're using a device of any kind. And this is not anything that's a, it's not a, oh my god, I can't use optics. Optics allow you to enhance in what is perceived to be a threat or an area that needs to be evaluated to determine whether or not it is a threat. So optics are certainly priceless on the battlefield. They create a tunneling effect with regard to what somebody can perceive though. Remember that. It's another reason that people will take the optic device and set it away from their eyes and scan an area. Remember we've talked many times about subconscious registry. Well, in reality, a good hunter has adapted that, what we call field sense. Some people call it a sixth sense, you know, oh man, he's got eyes in the back of his head. Or it's like, how can he see that? Well, what you're doing is you're actually tapping into the subconscious, which is registering all of those nuances that are part of the fight or flight scenario. Only you take command of them. You don't let them create an animalistic response whereby you allow that registry of data to overwhelm you and move you in an uncontrollable, spontaneous action. Instead, we are sculpting the mind. We are sculpting our prowess. We are sculpting our ability to fight. And this is especially critical for all of you because again, I brought up a subject and I want to tie this in. Okay, do we all believe what's going on in Iraq based upon what we see the controlled media telling us? Right now. Well, I'm just saying like, you know, we don't need any, not one iota of the fact that the Chinese guard the oil fields. No one mentioned the other players in the game here. Now, but, but here's the thing. Let's go by the official story. The official story most recently is that 800 fighters, although it's probably more than that, but let's go by their official story. They're saying only 800 fighters trying to play down the idea to get us into the idea of going back in, guys. You've got to play the numbers down. Now, then when you hit the ground, you find out, wow, it's just a lot more than 800 people. Yeah, yeah, they kind of lied, but too late. See how that works. However, the bad part about it is this. For the bad guys. They don't want us to think this math through. 800 well-disciplined, highly motivated, and focused individuals engage two Iraqi divisions of socialist mercenaries. Socialists who are conditioned to the new socialist agenda, socialists who have the complete, you know, subservient-slash-slave mindset, okay? Everything they got, they wanted through the sculpting and the manipulation of the Iraqi population. Two Iraqi divisions were routed by 800 combatants. Number one, this is another variation on the whole situation with, you know, hudabadoo, Hezbollah. Remember, I brought this up many times. So, did this new fighting force have helicopter fleets behind it? Did they have jet fighters in waves? Did they have the ability to tap into satellites by technology? Do they have high altitude surveillance aircraft? Mid altitude surveillance aircraft? Low altitude surveillance aircraft? Do they have the latest cutting edge in everything weapons wise? Well, after defeating the two Iraqi divisions... Well, now they do. Oops. But, let's go by the official story. Guys, this doesn't bode well for the Socialist, does it? The two divisions, basically thousands of men, were virtually broken and routed by a focused, dynamic, and shall we say, if everybody goes by the old propaganda of the OUs, archaically armed aggressor force. But what is it that changed the dynamic here? Again, the warrior slash the dynamic of the mind. Because if we look at the numbers, how could you possibly resist against the Iraqi military to begin with? Oh, everybody immediately makes snide comments, but the bottom line is they have numbers. Don't they have numbers? Didn't we create those numbers? Isn't the philosophy and the mindset of that military force, the product of our militaries incorporating their mental processes into the minds of those soldiers that were just defeated? Am I wrong here? Did I miss something? I want you to think this through. It's kind of like a lot of other comments made about certain battles in World War II. Well, the bottom line is, you fight with what you got. That's very true. And what little they had wasn't much, but what little they had, they sure as hell knew how to use. Hezbollah did the exact same thing, guys, in a defensive structure. This force went into an offensive structure and performed and is performing admirably. Now, mass executions and all the other stuff aside, which of course we can plus or minus believe or not believe, the bottom line is if we listen to what they're trying to push, What you see on the ground was done by a minimal amount of energy focused properly and utilizing individuals that took serious their actions going into the field. But the numbers are askew. Aren't they, Don? After all, if 12 to 14,000 men or 16 to 18,000 men are in the field armed with the latest of conventional arms limited to 220 yards for engagement, because isn't that what they condition everybody to? Yes, you know they do because you've heard the preachings on it. all the basic philosophies that everybody told me we have to be totally fearful of all my god well we've got these number as well we have armored home be used to have a man raps have got everything there in the hands of that two division uh... force of uh... iraqi military they have everything that are marmi has Remember, we left a lot of it there. Yards and yards of it, by the way. Fields and fields. Of course, a lot of that knocked out by the other guys who have been shooting at us, including the dads of these guys in the Iraqi military, by the way. If not, some of them that are now in the Iraqi military. Think about that one. Well, what happened then, guys? If we go by the information we have and for whatever reason however in their mind They're trying to whip up the pot you know to cycle everything up it doesn't really bode well for them to do that because once again like Hezbollah and remember Hezbollah is a combination of a hearts and minds program a Building process where the warriors are not lazy buggers who sit on their hind end. I don't do that I just fight they are true citizen we don't slash sovereign warriors and They go into a community to get their hands dirty, they work, they build, they improve. They aren't just feeding off the population. That's the right thing, even if mainstream has reinforced, Mark, that they are consolidating the ground behind them. Now, you have to point out that during the invasion of Europe, Americans took no prisoners, Germans took no prisoners. It was expedient for that to happen. If you believe their numbers, 800 men could not afford to have great groups of prisoners behind them. Just a strategic thought there on the table. It's been a discussion for a long time in other circles for the same reason. Something to think about. The bad guys don't want anybody. These are things nobody wants us to talk or anybody to talk about. See with that being the case the problem you've got is well, how are they motivated now granted? There's people who are horrible. They're monsters of this. Well, they are fighters They have proven that. Yeah, they've taken real estate kids, they're fighters. Now again, wrap your brain around that for a bit and ask yourself how they've been successful. And no, it's not just hyper viciousness, but it is focused energy, the ability and the willingness to fight for a purpose and take the risk of dying. But there's a basic rule that everybody needs to remember. Nobody says, I'm going to die for my cause. No, the idea is I'm willing to fight for my cause. And if need be, I'll take the risk of dying, possibly, but the objective is to become the master of the battlefield and make that happen to the people that I focus my weapons on. How does that sound? start notching up the gun. Seems to make more sense to me. Yep. See, so this is one of the other things that you know is not discussed. It can't be because right now the whole idea is to try and get us to rob our rob back into Iraq and I I'm gonna tell you something real quick on that one that I've seen recently and a lot of people are catching on. Yeah, I'll get my uniform out of the closet and I'll dust it off and I'll go back to Iraq when I see Dick Cheney, George Bush and all the rest of these neocons up front in uniform as point men. He could, Georgie could lead a fighter wing huh? Yeah, all those Ra-Ra boys. They're all Ra-Ra-Ra. I have no problem with that, as long as I see them up front first. But otherwise I ain't showing up for that picnic. There's also a really great little comment that's floating around the internet right now. Actually it's in Facebook in a couple places. It's an old Polish proverb. Not my circus, not my monkeys. It's quite appropriate. It's like, it ain't my circus. Those ain't my monkeys. Sorry kids, I ain't part of that. And they're not liking the idea that, again, on the one hand, see here's the difference with the Iraq scam, why it's not going to work. Number one, let me ask everybody, haven't they been pushing the attack the Patriot now for how many years? The last couple years, haven't they guys? Hate the Patriot, hate America, hate the Patriot, hate America, and all of a sudden they're trying to do the rah rah rah. Well you see they're not even putting the facade in there with a 9-11 Israeli attack, which they might try to plug in, but it'll be the Israelis again or the Saudis combined with the Israelis like it was the last time. But here's the thing, remember that they did this in the same garbage was done with the bill clinton's and going into the meals meals and the new con scam when bush came in for ten years non-stop eight patriotism the globalist this the globalist that then all of a sudden this this fake nine eleven bs generated by our enemies nine talk in the the iraqis had nothing to do with it you all know that too even the people try to make a slight comment right now Here's the bottom line is they aren't even pushing any rah-rah Americana anything. It's just you all go kill them, don't you? See, that's a test to see how stupefied they've gotten us. Truly. Well, yeah, I mean... Well, there's a hundred special forces that believe that. Oh, Green Berets that have been deployed that, uh, we'll go help them kill them. Yeah. Well, and that ore again, basically, the bottom line is they do have a mission which is No matter who wins or gets in charge, eventually the embassy will be maintained and we'll flip-flop and screw the people that we set up for the fall in the first place. Oh, you like what's going on right now? And by the time we're done, we'll be dealing with the other characters if they get in there. Oh, and we'll backstab them too. We understand that. All the while using that which they see as a tool known as war to reduce the population. Yep, exactly. And do harm to us in the process too. Well, it's like you said, not my circus and not my monkeys. I ain't got anything in this fight. So, you go ahead and jump in there first, we'll watch. I see you up front. Maybe I'll tag along after that. But since I figure that punk cowards like these characters that are the globalists, they're great for spitting on the soldiers. Wait a minute, what did they just get done doing? Oh, that's right. They were killing veterans by inches out in Arizona that they got caught at, but if they were doing Arizona, they're doing it a whole lot of other places, aren't they kids? Oh, yeah. Other states are chiming in. So the problem with that, and of course anybody tries to tell the truth now, is being attacked by this very regime that wants to try and drag us over into their BS again. Well, not my circus, not my monkeys. That'll settle it real quick. And again, what we have to be worried about is what's going on here because the idea is to try and drag our people off going, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, shut up. I love this country. I argued from the get go. We should never have been in Iraq. We went to Iraq. Oh well. No, we were just peons. But you know what? Everything that everybody warned you about, about Iraq, being like Vietnam, was absolutely right. It's turned out to be the exact same scam, virtually even the articles they did. Raw, raw, raw. Get the soldiers in to get them killed. And then all of a sudden, who's the biggest threat to America now? Remember all those men that they told you need to go over there and bleed and die for the regime? And now you're on the shopping list and the list to be shot at because you're now the biggest threat to the communists that are operating inside the United States. Not my circus those ain't my monkeys. I'll sell it real quick. So again over here This is what we have to worry about now. We're heading towards it over past the bottom. You're forgive me guys a Couple other things again the 20 inch barrels. I want to get this in the evening our apex gun parts calm Apex gun parts calm trying to find 20 inch barrels for a reasonable price has been almost impossible guys I went to Joe Bob Outfitters and several of the others. Lots of 16.5 inch, every stinking size of 16.5 inch you can imagine. Or they'll sell you an 11 inch barrel and it'll be a cold day in hell before a warrior. Think about that, okay? I don't want shorter still in a muzzle flash I can use for a flamethrower. Okay, I don't want that. But the interesting thing is 20 inch barrels, Apex has both the A2 configured barrel and they have the H bar, the heavy civilian variant. 20 inch barrel and they're $75 for either one. I would buy the full H bars until they're gone and then if they can't get those then I'd go to the A2. Why? You can't get any 20 inch barrels for a reasonable price anywhere if they even have them. And I'm serious about that. I've been out there looking around and called three or four companies while we were out about today and lo and behold they're tall, same as the same. Man, we've got lists for the 20 inch barrels and nobody's got them. So if you run into them in any configuration, they should be cheaper. I mean, they're $75 apiece for a, it's a used barrel, it's a take-off barrel. But they're obviously an arsenal take-off barrel. Now, why? You don't look at any number of things. Most likely what it is, is they're switching out to put a shorty barrel on the rifle and to make them a, you know, make them a chop gun. Well, that's cool. It means we get a barrel at least for a good price. So apexgunparts.com. ApexGunParts.com, ApexGunParts.com. Now we're not talking about build a whole rifle here, I'm going to remind everybody. Here's what we need. We need a complete upper receiver. Forward assist preferred guys, although there's a lot of non-forward assist uppers floating around. Forward assist would be nice only because you've got to jam the weapon once in a while to make it work, you know, jacket. Preferably, with the Ford Assist already on board is nice and the dust cover for that upper receiver, but if you can't and you've got to buy them separate, so be it. Now the next critical components, a barrel, obviously your keeper shroud and your retaining ring for the front hand guards, your A-frame front, and probably the most difficult thing to find, although they're out there, you've got to shop around harder for these, is the 20-inch gas tube. That's the hardest thing to find right now. It's available more so than the 20 inch barrels, but you're gonna have to look around find the best price and please take the time to look around. But the gas tubes, which used to be a dime a dozen and really still should be, guys have built so many guns that they've consumed those. They've been eating them up and that's just how it's going. It's just the way things are. So we've got to live with that. We'll accept it. Anyway, bolt carrier bolt obviously charging handle and the upper receiver is complete. Needless to say you're gonna you know choose an A1, A2 or A3 upper. Cheapest is the best way to go for now, save dollars now and you can add other stuff on later in nickel and dime it a little bit. Okay? The A3 flat top probably being the best choice. Why? Well, Don's night vision would go right on at A3 with that 20 inch barrel and I like that idea. You know what I mean? Greater range. Now you're going to need a flash hider. If you can buy, for instance, an aftermarket basket standard, not a compensator, a flash hider, an all slot all the way around, all points of the compass, flash hider. Preferably a longer one if you can find them, but they're sometimes too expensive. Certainly you can find the standard GI model laying around everywhere. Go for it. That'll be fine. With regard to the A-frame for the barrel, get the Banette Lug. Mr. Banette is your friend. Okay. Now I'm being very facetious here and if you don't think so then watch, let's see, Wheel War Z and watch when, oh that's right, the main character uses duct tape and duct tapes a butcher knife on the end of the deer rifle. He's the main character. He's a fighter. And, well, see, so obviously the bayonet logs in all of our weapons really do serve a purpose, don't they, right? Better than duct tape. That's right. Better than duct tape. Now granted, it was a Damascus butcher knife, that classic weapon of mayhem that he was using the duct tape to the end of the weapon. But rather than duct tape, how about we have an actual bayonet log and make the gun work right for us? What do you say? I would think that, yes, will be the answer. Okay. so just a thought there. Anyway, you should be able to keep the price down around $130 to $160 for that upper. If you look around for grade 2, in other words, finishes off on them but the parts are mechanically sound. I'm serious about that. In fact, if you've got somebody who's cannibalized some of these Colt kits, you might probably find a good price for the gas tube there and all the trinket parts. So, all you need to do is line up the pin stations, knock your new drill, you know, drill your new holes, and congratulations you got yourself an AR15 upper and a 20 inch. Again, A1, A2, or A3 is a personal choice. I go probably A3 right now because they're cheap. There's lots of them. Sites are available. There's all kinds of cool stuff you can do to modify and improve. Overserts, guys, that are made for the military vehicles and spotlights. Now, these are a thick, like eighth inch thick glass lens. Now, they're supposed to work with a boot. Now, depending on the kit, some of them come with three or six glass lenses. They may come with either one, two, or four rubber boots. Now, if it has the four rubber boots, it usually has more glass lenses, and some of these will be cookie stacked, ten lenses. Each lens is wrapped in paper. The rubber boot is designed so that you actually insert the glass lens into that and that rubber boot creates a total seal around the standard white light power source, you know, the light source. The neat thing about these is that these can very quickly be incorporated, especially since somebody already did all the engineering guys, with these new LED high-alume, high, you know, like very bright LED light sources. There are a number of different ones out there. Deal Extreme has them. Don't forget that if you have a light that will fit, a spotlight system of whatever kind, it could be a D-cell light system with stacked batteries or a straight-in line or whatever. These are glass, you have to be cautious there, but the important thing is that you've got everything you need to put one, two, or three, or four lights in service. Typically it would be one, two, or four. I'm seeing the three. The one is because in some cases these were built for monoc, well not monocular, but from a mono light system supporting a weapons platform. The doubles were set up for vehicle and the quads were set up for vehicle. So it will vary. But when they come through, these things have been very cheap at about $3 to $7 per lens. The big, big ones are running more and we're talking like a 10-inch diameter pie plate, guys. If these are available and you see them at the yard sales or gun show, you're going to probably see them at gun shows pretty soon. If you see them at the gun shows and the guy's got a couple bucks on them, grab them. Number one, they're glass. They're not plastic. They're a much more efficient emitter. The other thing is high quality, 1950s, 1960s. This ain't China sport. This is the height of the Cold War and the height of industrial policy for the Warsaw Pact and for the United States during that era. That was right at the crux for both sides, for steel in Germany, for steel in America, for steel finishing and fabrication in the United States, for Czechoslovakia, for Poland, they were at the pinnacle with regard to their performance. So all of this stuff coming out is typically very well built. That's why it's still in service or just came out of service most recently. So watch for them. Those lenses are cool to have. One of the tricks we did years ago, Don's got his night vision device on his 50. He's sitting over there to my right about 75 to 100 yards. I've got a broomstick with an IR illuminator on the end of it. Maybe a little longer, about 6 to 8 inches for the pole. And I use a roll in the terrain. I know the area of activity for the enemy or an approach. I can rather than throw a flare, I can actually stand that thing up, plop it into the ground if I've set up something to hold it up with or I can use it to wash an area. Now the shooter gives me the prep and then I activate the source once I get it up over the berm. The shooter is already in position ready to fire. Any target of opportunity is engaged. Instantly you break contact and you disappear. You leave. You don't hold contact. Now psychologically that messes with people especially since the moment it's up the rifleman has already prepared immediate contact. Yeah, that 50 is going to put them down, isn't it Don? Oh yeah. You're not really probably going to be running away from you. There will probably be two chunks squiggling around for a bit and then they're going to figure out, that's probably the end of the war for me. Now if you're lucky you line up more than one but again remember this technique requires obvious immediate motions so for all of us old farts and for all of us people who might have injuries Whoever is going to be operating the equipment is hoplite. There you again eliminate stop run Right, they left their houses half a mile away. Yeah, exactly. Yeah Another point to make here this exhibits teamwork the other side hates that. That's really demoralizing. Yeah It really is. Now another thing about utilizing the illuminators, remember that there are a lot of situations where we're just simply doing conventional security. Psychologically, those IR illuminators operating is something that typically the other side has. It forces them to think of something. If you're using an IR illuminator, you're not using white light to brighten everything up. But when they check with their night vision, they see that everything is lit up like a Christmas tree. Well, they've got to ask a basic question. If he's using that, what does he got on the other side? It doesn't mean I'm using IR. It just means I'm using IR illumination like anybody can with starlight. So that forces the bad guys to actually think twice about whether or not they're going to proceed with clandestine or insertion operations because they're not commanding the night. It's an equal opportunity dying situation. See, Special Warfare operations are based on the idea that somehow we've all gone brain fart, brain dead. Seriously, they have to do that because otherwise, most any conventional and unconventional force is totally predictable. Completely predictable. That's the part they don't want. Most of what is done with Special Operations is mystique. I'll give you an example. If you believe all the stuff, and again they already know this too, but let's say you watch these seal images they do, like when they were down in Miami, remember this last couple weeks again, and they're all speeding around up the rivers and everything, and they're running the patrol boats, and everybody's up there, and they're all in front of everybody. Piano wires strong across an area that is blackened. and just run across the river, what would that be like if you watched the procedure, what they show them doing? And granted, again, remember, they usually think this through, but if you were actually preparing to fight somebody and you knew that the river is as likely an approach, which you all should, then wouldn't you create mean environments for them? Things that really would go bump in the night or slit as they move through, let their own power and energy do the damage to them? Think of how many different ways. I mean, you know, they used to do this trick in motorcycles, but they also did it with Jeeps. It's why when you look at those World War II vehicles and in a lot of other wars, you'll notice there's that V-type piece of steel stock up in the front of the Jeep. That's how I like that. I like that net cutter on the front of a submarine. Yeah, exactly. Its purpose is to alleviate the possibility of that wire that somebody strung across the road, relieving you of your head. Oh, yeah. And there isn't a whole lot between those vertebrae holding all those joints together guys, those little knuckles make up your spine. And the wire usually finds the path of least resistance. Oh, it takes a nano moment. And that's all she wrote. So again, when you think about all the goofy stuff you see for show as opposed to reality, I mean granted you got to remember they're going to operate differently. Most of that is, is Hollywood. It's designed for Hollywood to make everybody get pumped up and excited. The real world is very different and especially since you already understand the threat. You want to make sure that whatever threat you create is as organic as possible. making it that much more difficult to truly identify until it's too late. And that's true with all aspects of whatever you set up in the way of anti-personnel and anti-vehicular whenever possible. That's the first thing that's not really expected. Certainly not in this day and age because we're all supposed to be stupefied, brain dead, pop up targets for the bad guys when they come to rape, kill, pillage, and burn. Let alone make any single type of plan. Yeah, we would never know how to set up a defensive grid Or to prepare an area so that no matter how you turn something does something that makes something know it makes noise flash or whatever Nothing is a surprise and even then our basic policy again while I'm watching an area where something is activated The first rule is a third are looking in the opposite direction guys If not 50% it's an automatic response. I've taught everybody over the years anybody's been in the field Oh look there's activity over there behind us yep See how that works? Oh, but that well, they're really being crafty and there's a distraction now, of course We do joke about that that that distraction that you're trying to ignore is the main attack you were expecting. Yeah That diversion you were trying to ignore is that attack that you were expecting? Well, that's why you're still observing that but in the process 360 degrees security automatically guys That's another part of what you need to be disciplined to even if there's only two of you Remember, eyes, that other pair of eyes, Don, when one man's by himself... Hey, he can only look in one direction. He has to go to sleep sometime. I always remind you of the old Arab saying about a running man cutting a thousand throats in one night. So again, think things through. The other thing, before we go any farther here too, we're almost to the top. Don, I don't know what's the rush, but night vision technology, you have it. How can we get a hold of you? What do you have available, sir? Well, I would say before we go that that's not just an old saying that's a proverb in the era of world. Yeah. Hey, first, second, third generation goggles, gun sights, green screens, thermal, binoculars, monoculars. Did I mention goggles and gun sights? I did that twice on purpose. My number is 231-796-8458. I've still got that first generation gun sight, $375. There are a few of them left. I can get my hands on them, put it right in your mailbox. My number is 2317968. And I have to do this again because there is someone I need to hear from in Illinois. And his initials are DR-4-6-0-4 of his zip code I need to hear from him. So with that in mind, if you're listening, give me a call. My number is 23179684. if you want to talk about night vision give me a call call that guy with the eight hundred number and then call me and you probably won't call him back my numbers two three one seven nine eight four thank you mark here's a challenge dot dot you know gurulgur holds a lot of crazy stuff together really well if we ever do break a block for frame and considering how minimal the energy distribution as far as you know radical you know stress to the frame is I wonder if we could Gorilla Glue it back together and then use a little duct tape to assist. Gorilla. Hey, we're going to have to, no we aren't, I'm not going to do that to a Glock if I can help it, but I probably will find a busted one eventually, we're going to have to test out. Yeah. Well, there are a number of adhesive manufacturers out there that could probably come up with a solution. There's an advertisement in one of the RC airplane magazines. I can't remember the manufacturer's name, but they brag about being able to glue McDonald's and other aircraft together with their product. We've talked about that for years, you guys, a lot of airplanes, even when they were still steel, good portions of them were glued together. Yep. And not only that, but they pretty much in the sky, didn't they? Yeah. Consider the loads and the stress factor involved with the bearing surfaces and the material. Think about it. In fact, well, canvas and wood or canvas and bicycle tubing, those are the two. We are at the top. Everybody out there listening, Weapons Wednesday is over for us, but Weapons Wednesday in reality now is every day as we know. Organize how equipment train is militia. Take the time. Buy more ammo. Cannot stress that enough. Keep picking away at that. For all you that were listening, every Friday when we joked about Cinco De Amo Day buying that 150 round box at 22 ammo. How long have we been on the air? There are people out there who did just exactly what we were talking about as an experiment. They have boxes full of gold now. And it's not 57 cents or 79 cents a box, is it? or $1.29, well then it crept to $1.43. Well, it crept up, but nothing like the thump that came later, right? Think about it. Those little 50 round boxes of ammo. By the way, it's rained three times while we've been doing the program. It's raining again. So, we are getting those gusts of rain. We are definitely going to have enough moisture. This is going to be a wet summer, guys. Even if it stopped right now, we have had excellent moisture for the crops. They are definitely with us now. That just means you will shoot with your park on. Yeah. When you are at the range this weekend, shooting on your weak side. Yep. If you are a lefty on the right, if you are a righty on the left. Right? Yes. Again, take the time with Airsoft before that. Airsoft, Airsoft, Airsoft, Airsoft to get you in the mood. When you get on the range, now you've got a better feel, your brain starting to think with both sides, and you'll function accordingly. Do I hear the music? Oh, not yet, but you know, hey, if you want to talk to Larry Watson about a .50 caliber, his number is 952-472-1010. Again, 952-472-1010. Cheapest bolt action .50 on the continent. And actually I think he still has the best price on the bolt. Upper AR is 50 caliber, guys. Guys, for everybody out there, if you're looking for a 50, Watson's weapons, that is the solution. And again, Polymer receiver or aluminum lower, either lower a plastic or aluminum would both work with that 50 upper. Think about it. So there's an inexpensive solution to get a 50 up and online. Best prices on 50 cal ammo for good variety. Right now UNAMMO.com. UNAMMO.com. UNAMMO.com. He just got a couple more flavors of 50 cal in to include 50 cal on belt. And he's got that stuff he had the other day which is one round tracer, four rounds of AP or four rounds of incendiary. There's different mixes. I don't know if he sold some of those out but he's already got another one listed and I know it's every fifth rounds of tracer. So definitely that's one solution for you belt-fed kids. That's the one he in a can. But if you've got that 50 cal bolt gun, he's got lots of AP, he's got Incendiary, he's got Tracer. Good for putting things on fire. Yeah, and again, you can't make it the way they built it in World War II. or Korea or Vietnam. We can fabricate it eventually, but hey, they already did all the work. Worst you've got is a ball round if it doesn't go off, but stuff's been pretty reliable for capping. It does what it's supposed to do. Again, UNAMMO.COM, UNAMMO.COM. Another thing again, freedom police all freedom police all freedom police are going to go racing dog racing quiet real sports blood all blood being spilled left and right big time big time big trucks you name it it'll be there well not another that'll be there but there will be that's right patriot bands i can least guarantee that for you all the rest and the cleanups might be there again freedom for those dot com freedom police dot com ww w dot freedom police or go to www.pokerface.com www.pokerface.com they've got all the information right there on the front page from the 3rd through the 6th of July that's Freedom Beluza you can camp out you can enjoy a fellow Patriots company people will be speaking people will be playing music pigs will be roasted cows will be slaughtered chickens will be eaten you name it if it can be gorged upon it will be there potatoes will be roasted That's right. It will all be in one pot. Oh no, not the potatoes. I could care less about the chickens or the cows or whatever, but you know how it is if you're a vegetable lover. Heaven forbid the potatoes are sure of food. They have eyes, too. Yeah, they do. They have eyes. They look back at me. Oh, the horror. I've got dreams to live with for the next week. How could you do this to me? Well, pepper and salt. from horseradish and a little something. Anyway, we are past the top. Now I'm sure Ed's scrambling for the board, switching over to... Maybe not. Might be eating and we're probably interfering with this meal. I'll tell you what, one more thing here again. We're talking about ammunition. Guys, know your combat loads. SOP, standard operating procedures should be established. If you're all carrying garands, what pocket carries what load? And yes, you do know how to do that. We are as smart as our grandfathers and fathers. They carried the rifles and actually used a battle kit that was standardized so everybody knew what was where. You can do the same thing. In fact, I'd say if our grandfathers can do it with a sixth or eighth grade education, we should be able to handle it with all the school and well, no, actually throw all that school in BSL because most of us by socialists that really didn't have a clue to begin with. It takes college to do half of what we did by the sixth to eighth grade in America 100 years ago. Isn't that scary? Yeah, well that just means you're sucking your lifeblood and taking that much more of your time for worthless Viacos. As it is, again, go to UNAMMO.COM, UNAMMO.COM, UNAMMO.COM, remember again that we are training to win, organize, arm, equip, and train as militia. And again, when you're doing that, don't forget logistics support, logistics, logistics, logistics, logistics, 5.10 program should be in place. I'm constantly working on that. Got a bunch of sales coming up this weekend and I've got to make a few calls to make sure some of our friends are up this way. But guys, you never know what's going to show up. Even boats and things like that. So with the sales that are going to happen this weekend, I want to be wandering around to see what else may hit the beach in the process. Not just the boats. www.govliquidation.com before I forget also there since obviously we have a minute or two. And I think Ed might be just around the corner. Throw in that switch, turning that dial. GumblicoNation.com. They have a bunch of Humvee trailers coming through. One and a quarter and one and a half ton trailers, guys. 2008, 2009, 2007, 2010 manufactured trailers. Guys, there's no way in hell those should be done away with. There's no way in hell they should be selling them. No way. So there's again an example of malfeasance. Of course, as long as we step in there, they're all over the place. If you go to go to the vehicles, you'll find a trailer section inside the vehicle section, you will see that there are hundreds and they're all over the country near you. Seriously, that's how many there are virtually all over the country. Fort Bragg, Florida, Georgia, all posts in Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Fort Lost in the Woods, Missouri, well, Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Alaska, excuse me, California, Nevada, Texas, multiple locations, you name it, all over the compass. So take a look at goblecwidation.com and remember you're going to be bidding on them. I hear the music. Don your number for night vision, please. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march both day and night. Ooh-rah. Keep them in the slats, beat them down hard. Don't let them get back up. Our plan is to win, not to be nice. Now on your number for night vision enclose us please. It is 2317-96-8458 Thank you Mark, God bless you. God bless you America.
