Mark Koernke discussed tax increases over the past 60 years, warning that sales taxes have more than doubled as a percentage of personal income, and criticized both major political parties for failing to limit government. He warned of potential financial disruption on July 1st, 2014, related to congressional legislation, and promoted freeze-dried food preparedness. The show featured extensive discussion of firearms safety and maintenance, including proper chamber loading for 1911 pistols and revolvers, pre-1898 weapons regulations, and Mauser rifle variants and their ammunition considerations. Koernke and co-host Don Butcher discussed organizing militia deployments along the Texas-Mexico border, referencing the successful Minuteman Project deployments as models for coordinated observation and response. The episode included caller requests for a Kentucky Head Hunters song and concluded with preparedness messaging.
Live 365. In the 50s, when this chart here that I'm looking at, in the 50s it started out below 1%, again, general sales tax has a percent of personal income. That doesn't mean that that's what your state has. Overall, all the states, all the income of less than 1% went towards sales taxes back in 1956 when this chart ended in 2000, the year 2000, a little over 2% of general sales tax as a percent of personal income? Yeah, your state might have a 4% sales tax or a 6% sales tax, whatever. This has taken all states in combined and all general income combined. Give you an idea. Your sales taxes have doubled more than doubled in the last six years, almost 60 years. Your sales taxes have more than doubled in the last 68 years. So I just want you to take a look at that and realize next time and tell all your stupid people around you, hey dummy, you're raising a percentage. You don't raise a percentage. There should be no need. If you have to raise a percentage, something is wrong. Somebody is mishandling the money. In 1913, before the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, was where everybody was screaming that we need a federal income tax. In 1930s, we were screaming that, oh, we need to generate more revenue for whatever. We need a state sales tax. Does anybody actually beg for a new tax? Don't think so. Just keep government limited. And if the parties of FUEL B and FUEL DUM really were for limited government, they'd start getting rid of all those taxes, wouldn't they? But no. They're the same party, and they want to drive you further into a worldwide socialist totalitarian form of government. And by the way, if something happens next week, I'm not saying I told you so, I won't probably say that, but something could happen to money next week because that was July 1st. That's when that bill takes effect. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to go back to Ustream, look at the Forbid Knowledge pages and find out what it says. What I've said about the bill, it comes to final fruition on July 1st of 2014. Because the U.S. Congress, when I'm current U.S. Congress, has told me I would be getting very busy in July. You don't know what that means. That means that when you talk about food, you look at my food, it's like you're going to get very busy in July because I saw freeze-dry food. And by the way now, a full fledged Mountain House dealer as well. A full fledged Wyze dealer. These are freeze dried foods. They're all available. Don't really sell them on the website. You're going to have to find me in person, but you should be buying the stuff in person anyway instead of over the internet because then you're not creating a paper trail. Points the finger at you. Well, there's somebody else that might have waken up before the crash hit because he's got a bunch of food. Let's go where they're not going to go and see if he'll share his food with us, back on point. Because, don't you know, there's There's food hoarding laws. Because now we're under national emergency and martial law and we have the right because of executive order. This says, well we got food hoarding laws. Anything more than two weeks for a food store, you know, you've got to share. Because your neighbor is eating button grass, don't you know? So we got to share. So anyway, this weekend, Houghton Lake, Michigan. Got the music playing Houghton Lake, Michigan, where I'll be if you're listening live on the 25th of June. Thanks all for listening and watching.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Indist the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children 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'll 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 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 this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Horky. 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. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, we're on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net 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 Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska. Whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd and 5th, Pitt and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast, we turn back to the east. Sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi. and land in the smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Keep doing the good work you need to do guys. Be prepared for whatever it is that transpires. Don, what's the date today and what's jumping off the wall up there in your neck of the woods? Mark, it is the 25th day of June, year of our Lord 2014, and it was a beautiful day. It rained a little. It was tremendous thunderstorms to the north of us and tremendous thunderstorms to the east of us, and it rained a little. But it was a beautiful day, and it is a particular day, striped down the middle of the week kind of day, and with that in mind, introducing the magazine to the magazine well and touching that slide puts one in the chamber, don't it? And I can tell you that it is Weapons Wednesday and the perimeter is secure and you know what? There's plenty more where that came from. That means we can offer equal opportunity coercive force for everybody out there. Go ahead, Mark. Excuse me. We've done that before. You hear that at the top of every hour, you guys. We've addressed this before, too. Even some of the old folks that have been around in 1911 for a good long time, you put one in the chamber and you turn that safety on and you set the gun down or you put it back in your holster or whatnot, they get a little nervous. You know, oh my gosh, there's one in the chamber. Why do you got to walk around? Well, it cuts down reaction time greatly, don't it? And if need be, you're right. And if need be, you don't have to hear that. How does that go? It goes something like, that when you rack the next one in, you know, you don't have to hear that. It's good to bring the gun up and bring it to bear and have it ready. Now, there are those that argue, well, there's that safety factor. You guys, you know that 1911 is one of the safest handguns there is. Thank you. It really is. You've got to pull the trigger, you've got to squeeze the back. back, man you can pull the trigger all the time as long as you're not squeezing the back, you know. And you've got to turn the safety off, not to mention. Not to mention, there's got to be one in the chamber. Now, we've addressed this before with revolvers. A lot of you guys out there with wheel guns, you know, there's that old cowboy habit, not carrying one in the chamber. Well, you don't want to carry one in the chamber. You might drop that gun, it might go off. The cow might kick it out of your holster. You guys since about 1903 when a particular manufacturer brought in a feature that he called Hammer the Hammer and almost every American manufacturer adapted it real quick under patent contract and then it went around the world without people honoring patents. But if you take that, if you pull that, empty your revolver, this is a good way to do it. Make certain your revolver is completely empty. Yeah, that's it. Take all five out of your six gun. And we'll talk more about this. Because when that gun is empty, you can hold that gun in your hand and draw that hammer back a little bit. And if you still got a good set of eyes and you look down there, you might see a little piece of metal kind of sneaking down out of the way. Yeah. That's part of that hammer the hammer feature that interrupts the firing pin touching a primer when the hammer is at rest. And again, almost every American revolver built since, oh for certain since the 40s has had this in it. Now, why would you deny, much like at the beginning of the hour, one in the chamber and a full magazine, man that's my friend. That that eight in the magazine and that one in the chamber every one of them is my little buddies Why would I want to leave any of them at home or give any of them a chance to come out and play with me? Well, it might not be so much play But why would I leave one at home? I don't have a problem carrying that 1911 with one in the chamber Safety on in my pocket in my holster in my vest. No problem set down in a particular place between the seat and the council there. It snuggles right in there like it was made to fit there. No problem. Now, why would you hang on to a real old cowboy habit that is no longer applicable to your wheel gun? Because you know if you got six chambers in there, you should probably fill them all up. A lot of revolvers have that feature that you can turn the cylinder and actually rest the hammer between the rounds. You know, where the bullet is not too battery. So even if the hammer was smacked down with a sledgehammer, the hammer in the gun hit with an external hammer, nothing's going to happen. But still, if you were to bring that gun up out of the holster as fast as you could and bring it to bear on the opponent who's bringing a gun to bear on you and go quick, well, Do you have a double action gun? That begs that question, doesn't it? Do you have to index that cylinder before it's going to start riding around with the trigger? Or do you have to pull that back? Just a thought line there. But you guys, why would you leave one of them chambers empty? That just begs that question these days. This ain't 1848, is it Mark? No, as a matter of fact, I can't think of it. I have not loaded a weapon with a blank chamber as far as a wheel gun goes, all the time I've ever been shooting. Unless, now, here's the thing, I might have one of those old pre-1900 guns laying around. We used to buy them by the buckets down there in Arizona by the way. I remember I mentioned this before. I got the box of about 15, 16 Smith & Wesson top brakes for a whopping $60. Everybody had a handgun. But I would also point out those were all the earliest models of Smith & Wessons. And if you paid attention when the firing pin was at rest with the old guns, well, look at where it was sitting. Yep. You see, so that's a different story. But with any of the modern weapons that we've mentioned, I wouldn't have any problem loading six rounds every time, first time every time. Then the only issue is, you know, do you use the half-cock, you know, the full cock, or do you use any of the other features that are unique to certain handguns? Remember, depending on their single or double action. Speaking of the old single action, I have my mall 858. All loaded. It's rested. Right. Well, that was one of the old tricks. It's like an equivalent to a half station. Yeah. Yep. That's where you rest half station, which we can't do with the modern revolvers, but we can do with the cap and ball. Even there, with the later cap and ball, some of them had a more intricate, in fact, some of the four-and-ones had a very intricate internal working lock, and it was even difficult to do that. simply by the nature of the designs, especially some of the French, you know, Le Mans type, not the Le Mans itself, but the Le Mans variants or copies. Most of the times people didn't really pay too much about patents with regard to third parties and other parts of the planet. And knockoffs of pretty much every gun, even ours, showed up all over the place, from pocket pistols to, you know, full-size hog legs. So it's a mix. Go ahead. What is half station? Between it and the bullets you mean? What he's talking about is like with your black powder gun. Basically you can turn the cylinder and then rest the hammer on the half station on the metal between the two cap points. In a null space. Yeah. Now when you put it back on the hammer, what's going to happen, because it's the single action revolver, is the action is going to pick up the index wherever it meets and cycle it to the next chamber. I do recommend getting these because they do come in handy as a top gas. Well, as a lot of people are like we've been talking about with the open carry, there's a lot of people that are bringing up black powder again because there's no restriction in pretty much any state on carrying black powder open carry. Because it is a considered a non-powering. Right, pre-1898 weapon, which by the way they've tried to do everything they can. When the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed, The criteria for the modern arms, there was a cutoff date that had to be benchmarked because, well, there used to be kind of rules with all the Admiralty court crap garbage. But lo and behold, if you notice, any pre-1898 weapon does not require an FFL or any kind of papers to move across the border, into or out of the United States. etc etc but if you try to buy a pre-1898 rifle most of the companies you'll notice are offering them even though there are some available. Now we're talking actually made pre-1898. Roger. And the last company that had something was AIM Surplus they had a bunch of pre-98 Schmidt Rubens and lo and behold they were doing FFL's on them even though they're not supposed to well by original criteria but the Bat Faggots have been harassing everybody. Now, the same is true with the black powder and early black powder and smokeless cartridge guns that are pre-1898. They're not supposed to harass and again, this is where, like we saw back in the 70s when they were fighting this before, everybody had to like, of course, also like the No Knock Search warrants. Everybody had to take them to court, they got beat down hard, people started suing them big time and that's what put an end to it. Now whether or not they're going to pay attention to the communist state of America with a K in 2000 and you know the 21st century 2014 Well, we'll see but so far they again have been able to see anything because the criteria is already been you know, it's laid down with the very thing that they worship the gun control act of 68 See since that's their holy grail for the beginning of all of the gun grabbing that has gone on since Well, they haven't figured out how to you know cross an eye or change a prefix or alternate alter a word to nix that yet So we'll see what happens there Anyway, go ahead. Last hour that we was talking about those Ruger mags When I put in for three, it gave me a special deal on the Czech OM-10 gas mask. For where? Where did you do that? Centerfiresystems.com. Okay, very good. Because they only had 10 of the bags or less. But they gave you a special... If you bought three bags, they gave you a special price and a gas mask? Roger. Instead of $18, it was $10 and $9. Oh excellent. Yeah, hell yes, grab that. Yes. Hey, it's a good deal. So a good point for anybody, what they've done is they've put some special software on board so they have a customer satisfaction package going on, which is pretty cool. $10 is definitely worthwhile considering again availability, another mask is another mask. Very good. I was going to grab some of those finished gas masks without the filters. They're out. Those are gone. Yeah, they're sold out. Yeah, and they are not going to get anymore. I already talked to them. I already talked to the jobber. Whatever they had between Sturm and a couple other companies, they ate them up pretty quick. So the wholesaler they buy from, I can talk to because I know the company. They do have... And I've dealt with them for, well, probably 35, almost, well, this was here, 2004. About 30 years. 30 plus years, 33 years. Roger. And they do have the German gas mask. The... Drager? And it comes with one filter. It doesn't say anything about the case, but you can get those easy. You know, a carrying bag. Yeah. Now as far as carrying bags go pretty much guys the British and the American ones as I pointed out Right now the newer ones are although the older canvas ones are cheap if you can find the right place manure nylon slash Cordura are almost the same price and they're newer and in many cases brand new So that's a good option for a bag. Tell you what Don's got to continue on subject on go ahead, please. Well, thank you While we're talking about kind of older guns and older habits and whatnot, Mark, I'm going to need a little sign postage along the way here. But didn't the Germans build those Mausers a long time ago, those rifles, like 98? And what was that chamber in when it was first built? Oh, it was offered as an export rifle in whatever Mauser caliber it was commercially available. It was in the war. It was generally what? 792 by 57. 792 by 8mm. 792 by 57. Yes. Now, let's point something out here. And this just, I was just made aware of this and I'm glad I bought that shotgun news. It's not like Don's an expert on this particular subject, but this was a cautionary that needs to be brought up. I've shot a couple Mausers in my life. I've never owned one. But, What did the Germans do when they wanted to shoot a bigger bullet? They took a lot of those existing guns and bored them out to 8.1 mark? 8.8? Oh, as far as re-chambering them to make it. Right. Oh yeah, there's several different ways they did that. Yes, depending on the gun manufacturer, especially... No. I'm sorry. No, go right ahead. I was just going to say, that's where some of the Euro 9 cartridges come from as a way to get around the restrictions about having military cartridges. Yup. That's what they did that for. Also, because they mimicked cartridges that Mauser offered in the 98 Action if you were willing to order it. Go ahead. Now, when they bored a lot of those original guns, you guys, sometimes it's hard to find that 8 plus millimeter for your Mauser. And when you do, you find that, well, you run it through the chronograph and it ain't really fast. It's not as fast as it should be. You would think, you know, for like what would be at its time a main battle rifle, like, you know, you're not going to see factory loaded Mauser ammunition that's going to push the bullet downrange at about 2800 feet per second. They do that, the manufacturers, bullet manufacturers, do that to protect themselves. Because they don't know what bullet that gun is going to go in. What bullet is going to go in. That's my dyslexia you guys. It shows every now and then. But if that plus millimeter bullet goes into a hundred year old gun that's been bored from seven millimeter, the bullet manufacturer doesn't want the responsibility of other metallurgical failures. So again, this is why you're not going to find a factory hot load for the 8mm Mauser. Because again, they don't know if you're going to put it in a Mauser that was built at 8, what is it, 8.8 or 8. whatever. Or the 7 Plus that was bored out to 8. So to cover their own, you know, high knees, they give you a soft charge. So that's a point to be made, you guys. If you're shooting Mauser in the bigger and you're certain that well that chamber was built that way you could probably load that up to what would amount to be 2800 feet per second and just that you know just to make certain hey some of you guys going out to the range this weekend take some of your factory Mauser 8 something and shoot it and see how slow it is because it's not going to be you know what the manufacturer wanted out of the gun in 1898 1914, 1937. Okay? Just a thought there. I just, this just, I was just, this was just brought to my attention and I thought I'd, you know, it's like this just in. We did that the other day and I promise I won't do that for a while. Something to do a little research on if you're shooting Big Boar Mauser. Okay? I just thought I'd mention it. I could read that word for word. It would take about three times as long or five times as long. And they talk about all kinds of things, other things in that same article. But that's the gist of that. That is the guts of that when it comes to... Did that say that also works in the... Goes back over to what is 308 millimeters, Mark? It was typically what they did. The 7mm Mauser was typically the one upgraded to 7.62 by 51 NATO, both for the Spanish and other countries that carried the 7mm. That was the first step in modification. There's more than enough meat to work with and typically since the Mauser barrels were fairly heavy, the only consideration is working metallurgy at the time. Probably the best thing to remember is when we're looking at the transition back pre-1900, even the Mauser, there's 8mm F, in other words 792 by 57 F. and then there's the the for whatever reason and I really there's never really an explanation of why this happened but when they developed the Gewehr 1888 rifle which is of course the desert on actual air cooling jacket around the barrel guys they figured they were going to get those barrels so hot it was going to be like a light machine gun Seriously, if you ever see what a Gewehr 88 looks like, it's a cool looking rifle. Really, they're a sweet action. They're very smooth action. I love the rifle. But the thing is that it was made in 8mm S and you have to watch out because the earliest models were in the earlier cartridge for whatever reason. Later, they did switch out a bunch of the standard 8mm models. And while the Gewehr 98 was the dominant in World War I, Like any country going to war everything that they had went into service in World War one by the time they were done and the Gewehr 88 was still in the hands of a lot of units when World War one broke out in 1914 So that rifle was in the trenches. I know a lot of World War I vets that had brought examples of every Mauser back with them that was picked up in the trenches and beyond a shadow of a doubt they came from, you know, the mud and the blood to, you know, into the fit locker and back, you know, back here to America. And most every gentleman that I know that was there in 1917, 1918, typically was able to find one of those. which tells you that the 88 was still there in pretty heavy service. Now my problem with that is you'd have to be constantly cautious picking up a weapon and just randomly slugging a bullet in, you know, a cartridge into it. That's the point, yeah. That's why you have to think that you'd have to be thinking ahead. That's one of the things about also when you're fielding large numbers of different weapons about remembering how to try and avoid and route certain calibers. uh... because you don't want mistakes made it's not so much that uh... it would be done intentionally winning via a sabotage thing but eight millimeter miles or will comfortably slide into a thirty out six case and get you killed the all thirty out six chamber if you're a hurry and you've got some you know armed armed strong behind it uh... because people would be paying attention however seven nine two does not fit down the board of seven six two as we know when they and thirty out six is uh... again a thirty caliber As we know, we'll hold 106 grains of black powder. That's the old nomenclature. That's why it's the out six, by the way. But that also is a very long case. It actually was the longest of, the closest cartridge to it is a 765 Argentine. That's the closest, and if you're actually building cases, for years we'd use lots of old US military brass. to build Mauser cases. We could either, if we were short 8mm Mauser, you can shape everything down to that. If you need 7.65 Argentine, the cool thing about 7.65 Argentine is it's already, well, 30 caliber. 7.62, 7.65. Think about the diameter of the bullet, little bulkier, but it's a lot easier to shape that to from a .30-06 case than say to go from .6 to .8mm. That's another thing that did happen, Don, where you were covering it up. Many 765 Argentine Mauser weapons were re-bored internally to 30-06. That's where there is a little bit of a difference in the pressure cup. A lot of people kind of close their eyes and turn their head when they pull the trigger, kind of like one of those old British muskets. I don't know if this is going to be trustworthy all the time. Well, go ahead and pull the trigger. Most of the time it works. We've also talked about putting machine gun rounds in pistols. Yep, exactly. Well, you do it a few times. Not very often. It hurts. That's why the only thing that's good is there's enough of those submachine gun rounds out there and there's a lot of light car beans where they won't hurt that weapon. If you do end up with SMG reloads, guys, prioritize them towards a weapon that can use them, the light car beans. That's where they go or the old beast submachine gun pistols now they're making where they're taking these submachine gun kits and turning them into pistols You know or they're turning into light rifles The other they were built those are the submachine gun loads were built for those guns that are being resurrected So that's where I would direct them. You know if I had a large inventory Another thing that I would point out you know if I have thought if you had thousands of people or hundreds of people showing up and you have a mix of weapons. Remember you do want to try and route and prioritize weapons into families. In other words, standard types. You almost want to do the how many people here have an eight millimeter Mauser eight millimeter Mauser? Okay over there how many of the odd sixes over there? How many people went to two three? Okay over there and you kind of route them and move them accordingly Some units will be a mix but will be you know pretty well organized if the units are like something that was brought up about the deployment down in Texas if you've got random people coming in and you were you were literally fielding an army and and you're looking at their armaments while you're, you know, again, developing the battlefield, then you want to try and move those people with similar weapons and similar needs together. Makes it a lot easier for logistics and common sense doesn't mean that they'll all have the same weapon, but for instance, if I needed MBRs, I'd take the 8mm Mausers and put them in a group together. They support another family of weapons that are the light rifles. I would take the Out-6s, put them in another family, keep them separate. for a reason. And again, same with 7.62 NATO because what cartridges are copacetic with the other? I might put the GRANDs and the 14s and FALs and HKs together because if they're all in 7.62 by 51 NATO or in 30F6, then they are to a degree, it's possible to integrate them and make them work one upon the other. but the other weapon systems are out there in different calibers you want to try and collect them or at least bring them together as cooperative elements that way when you want to issue out ammunition, you're trying to get ammunition to a unit the shopping isn't as difficult you know that the 416 is an 8mm 7.62x39 and mixed pistol unit and is perhaps a recently organized formation that will progressively be changing its configuration as it develops its formation. Meanwhile, the 12-4, the 12-4, the third of the 329th, whatever, that company is using 308 NATO rifles as primary battle rifles and they're supported by 223 weapons. Well, it makes it a lot easier when we can route them that way. It doesn't mean we can't support everybody in the field, and of course in a combat operation where units will be crossing over each other, etc., or the battlefield progressively become muddy in an unconventional situation, well then you have to have a wider range of available munitions on the shelf to be prepared to support these guys. Just that simple. And remember the cross-referencing issues or, you know, knowing, having people who have an understanding or know the weapons that are being brought forward or that may be brought forward and donated. Don't be surprised if somebody doesn't step forward and go well my husband passed away and he was getting ready for this and I've got these and there's more ammo in the garage and it's that's gonna happen because I've already seen it happen before guys and When that does you're not gonna deny that that's a gift a heartfelt gift and an act of a patriot perhaps that's even gone, but his family over here Yeah, it's a gift from God exactly. So that's how we need to think about it Well, God bless y'all. I'm going to supper, so I'll turn you back home. Oh, by the way, think of the supper. Think about this. Nancy found that the Juneberries are ripe here today, and before we came to the program, we had... ...Juneberry pie. I mean, so fresh, it just came off the bushes, guys. I needed care, package, of the nettles. Yeah, well, we're working on... Oh, I've been running nettles all day. Trust me, I got a whole bunch of pickers up my arm right now. Don knows if that's all about don't you don't yep? Oh? Anyway, well we're working on it. We may have to we have may have to export some to you I don't know that your state of like that, but we might be able to pick some See we can go round up and figure out where the nettles are though down there I can't believe you don't have them. We got to find that out I've asked my friends around here this whole neighborhood. We ain't got not one Oh, you may have to go down the flatlands then go off and try another part of the county Remember, it's going to be a weed. It's not a crop, it's a weed. Well, this is in Newton County, Covington, Georgia. I checked the fence lines. Go out and see. Ask the farmer, hey, you got any nettles growing around here? You probably look at the oak. What do you mean, I got them growing around here? I've been trying to kill them all. They are a bugger when they get healthy and they're up to mature level. Running your arms through them, your best solution, and running around in shorts through them, you'll only do that once. Yeah, if you go in the ocean you draw sharks. Yeah. Actually, it may be less painful, it doesn't matter how many of those nettles you get. That's why you want the green ones. You want the freshened green ones. You can use older, but remember, don't use the toppings, just use the leaves and you want to try and get sprouts and recently growing. In other words, early grow. I've been in Salinas, California for about a couple days. I've been munching on cherries and strawberries. Oh yeah, that time of year there? Yeah. Well the problem is we just made work because if the juneberries are up in one spot then the massive bushes we've got in the other area are pretty well ready to go. And there's just thousands, I mean just hundreds if not thousands of bushels. It's got to be close to a thousand. I mean seriously, there are so many plants that they put in the ground for ornamental. These things have grown to the size of a full-size apple tree. And there's probably close to 50 of them, 60 of them. So I easily, we're talking dozens of bushels per plant that will be produced as they all ripen. You just can't pick them fast enough. And you know what's funny is normally the birds here would eat those right up and be gone. They don't even put a dent in them. And I mean the birds are just gorged. I mean you got blueberry, you got bird poop in all directions from where the plants are. Because you know they go off and settle somewhere else and they just kind of flop over from being intoxicated with Juneberry juice. Blah, blah, blah, blah, like Homer Simpson. No, I don't think they because otherwise we see lots of cats where the berry bushes are because they'd be smart would be feeding cheap Well, they're still all yeah, they do all the deer have been really healthy. In fact, they're also really lazy right now We've got them lounging in front yards down the road here, which normally doesn't happen by the way But they're just they are just lethargic from you know, they're just gorgeous Seriously, everything we got is fat. They really are. They've got lots of moisture. Don, you've got lots of rain up there, right? Oh yeah, everything is green. Green, green. Yeah. I can't tell you how many dead carcasses I see laying on the side of the road, you guys. I mean, I'm, I mean, from here, from California to Michigan, going through Nebraska, Iowa, all that, Wyoming, down to Utah, I mean, here, I just waited. I mean, they're getting hit by these trucks, man. I counted about 35-40 when I came from northeast down to here. You know, you've driven a lot as a trucker. I've driven a lot over the years, you know, myself. And you know one of the most destructive and deadly and corpse-ridden stretches of road I've seen? Westbound out of Chattanooga. Hell, we even had coyotes and coyotes being hit in daylight while we were driving through that stretch every time we've been through there. More dead deer, but also coyotes. I mean, like not one or two. The last time we counted like nine dead coyotes and one was hit right in front of us and dragging his butt around while he was, you know, dying. And it was in broad daylight. There were four or five more moving with us. So God knows what the density of the packs are there. I think it's rather fascinating because you know, and that's Southern Tennessee. So don't know what's going on, but it's pretty interesting. I mean just from the drive from the Northeast down to California, man, you can feed a family of 40 with what's laying on the side of the damn road. That's how fresh that's... We're talking freshly hit. I mean, you know, I love you. That's the World Kill Cafe, huh? Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of... That's the problem is when you're driving the highway, you see so many of them. I mean, I used to pick them up every night. I'm in fact I was guaranteed I'd get at least one a night between Ann Arbor Michigan and Lansing Michigan on I-96 sometimes two a night or three and nobody want to pick them up I have sometimes not so good a shape but most of the time snap their neck because they'd run into the side of the truck or the side of the van they wouldn't be hit by anything I watch them they just bounce I mean they only bounce once because it snaps their neck just as neat as a you know like a hangman's noose You can tell us by looking at it how fresh they are. Well, that's the whole point. And again, guys, what do we do with a deer when we're done with it? When we're done gutting it? What do we do? We hang it and cure it, don't we, guys? Unless we're really hungry. Yeah, unless we're really hungry, then we'll put on a spit right now. That's true. Well, I'll tell you what, a couple more things here. I've gone to this site, Patriot Information Hotline, and I'm trying to make heads or tails of it, but We'll have to go through it completely to see what's going on. It's a, I don't know how old it is, I don't have any information on it, but for everybody out there, again, you want to check that out. Just again, get a feel for what's going on there. You're going to have to make some decisions. We're going to find out more about what's going on with the deployment down in Texas as quickly as we can. If you get a chance, let's see, what did I say? I found something else here too. Forgive me guys, I'm trying to find the other. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there while I'm doing this. Is that the border or the one way down south of Mexico? No, this is down on the border of Mexico. Good point. What is interesting is, although there's been some stuff like with Baker's Green Acres, if you go to Henry's from the trenches, worldreport.com, with Baker's Green Acres up in the upper part of the state, real close to where Don is, and to me. They have some activity going on right now again, but pretty well across the board as the Bundy Ranch thing took place, it knocked the wind out of their sails across the board. They actually had to step back and think for a minute and, well, really rightly so because it gave everybody a good taste of where things are going. Now, there's already a bunch of people doing the, you know, oh, don't go to the barter, we're all gonna die! Well, first of all, the people that are doing that would never get up off their dead arse and do anything anyway. So, you know, and it's like, well, we're gonna lose militia people or this many other, oh, I wouldn't go! And it's like, well, what would you do? Because the people are making these comments are the ones that are in Texas what I said before it's like okay So you can find these are the same people that before said oh, okay? Go to the Bundy Ranch because it's so far away, and I'm here in Texas Well, okay. Well now it's all in Texas Remember what I said about that guys don't worry it'll come to your backyard and You know what it's the Texas border There's no reason to hesitate or wait. In fact, the only thing is, shovel the troops into deployment posture and get them motivated. And you know, bodies. In fact, what gets me about this, and I guess if you look up the Minuteman I and Minuteman II projects with the border deployments, The problem is whether or not the database is out there to be explained to people that guys unless you're worshipping the control media Which is kind of stupid because they always make dumb remarks and they always lie about whatever they're reporting about, right? Well, otherwise, those deployments both went flawlessly. What little things had to be tweaked after Minuteman 1 were corrected with Minuteman 2 at the end of the month for the second deployment. And I would remind everybody that the deployment of the Minuteman project was one month each time. First time around almost a thousand plus people rotated into the Cochise County area and deployed across the bottom of the country there. They stopped 80% of the activity across the whole of the border because of the rumors, because of the drama, because of the media doing that, they hate the militia, blah blah blah. So everybody thinks this is new. Give me a break. Now the second deployment, well, don't go, they're gonna kill ya, you're all gonna die, the cartels and the government will murder late ya, they're all gonna die. Well, everybody went down there, more people deployed, thousands participated, we had aircraft in the air, we had troops on the ground, we had everybody overlapping each other and we got everything organized quickly, in fact it was done in such a way that everybody co-operated, everybody had their area of responsibility. You don't have to fight over what's going on on the other side of Cochise County. There's three or four other counties to choose from. Spread your artists out if you don't like the guys in Cochise County and shut up. We got a whole stinkin' Mexican border. Somebody starts pissin' a moment down there in this one. It's like, what the hell? You don't got work to do? What kind of a stupid idiot are you? You see what I mean? In other words, you don't need to worry about some super command central headquarters as far as you know, we got it in charge. Really? Why? I mean, all you really need to do is pie section the border up and hi, who are you? How many you got? You can have more people rotating down here. Okay, you're gonna have section B right there or you can go a little farther down to section 12 to section C or D over there. Take your pick, wherever you are, you're responsible for it. Congratulations, get your act together and get in the field because you're there. Here's the SOP. These are the reporting frequencies. Here's what we do. Now we'll see what happens here and whether or not anybody really really is doing a military formation or whatever, but to be quite honest, they can't really brag about the military operations that have been going on for a while because they really haven't been all that up to snuff either. So I'd rather a well-disciplined and organized militia effort with, again, cooperation. More than you know what we got a thousand plus miles of border to deal with I would figure there's lots of room for elbow room So you don't have to piss with anybody and you shut up and show me what you can do That's what I was wondering, just how are we going to cover down much borders? Oh, it's not hard. The way to do it, if you like what they did with the Miniman deployment is, first of all, benchmark everything based upon... Well, let me give you an example. First of all, you need a topo map, number one, which is not hard because we've got the age of computers. Your first priority would be to determine key control points where you can observe not just one area but several areas where you'll be deploying personnel. Those would be your single LPOP control points. Now, from one of those high points to the next, you subdivide the border with, first of all, each mile marker identified. And then within that mile marker, you can spread out into teams. There we go. of three to five and outposts amusing their own vehicles or whatever they have on hand ideally you want everybody have their own vehicles if there's a reason to ask the ao then you have the ability to just throw everything in the back start the vehicles up and leave the area of operation not a problem but the vehicles also a lot for mobility and that if you have to respond to something then you have the ability to still we push personal on a post typically what they did with a minimum and three prior man to going to minivan three is they used three vehicle duck points, duck foots. One vehicle in the middle, two pointed for 45 to grand, the left and right pointed towards the border. Each pod was made up of volunteers from all over the country, grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles, and they observed an area where they could see, as far as they could see to a certain point, overlapped with the next unit that was deployed, next group of people. Everybody had radios, everybody had cell phones. Now the next thing you do is create a mobile reaction stick. The mobile reaction stick is made up of five or ten vehicles, preferably pickup trucks, deuce and a halfs, whatever you want. They're designed to move quickly, they're tactically deployed with regard to material support. And the idea is that with the observers, notice that there's activity day or night the five truck slash platoon or you know say three squad reaction team moves to the area, spreads out and fans the area. They don't sweep it. They fan it and become a wall. Any possible contact is overlapped between the reaction group or in other words the response group and the fixed positions. They complement each other. Now the primary high points of control, the large, you know, the higher pieces of terrain that are close to the border, can also provide talk-in support and relay for signal communications if we don't have enough big radio equipment to work it out. This was all progressively developed within the first 6 to 7, well I was immediately when they were deploying, they already used this in Minuteman 2. As far as the terrain high point concept, I don't know that they incorporated that until later and there was a conversation I had back and forth in writing. One of the things I noticed when they first deployed is they had the vehicle just parked in like it was a, oh that's right, like it was a pickup tailgate party. And the first thing I pointed out is, hey, you've all got 12-volt electrical systems, lots of fuel, and you've got headlights. Why aren't they pointed towards Mexico? Now think about it, if they keep doing that, you literally could light up the entire border for little or nothing as needed. You don't need to have it going all the time. Night vision technology enhances the area of operation. It allows you to observe while conserving fuel and electricity. The moment the use of SPECT activity, you call it in and everybody lights up the stinking border. Alright, I better ask. As I move through the whole house back, I've got so many different answers over stuff. They said that ICE or INS, whatever, woke those guys up and threatened to sue them and jail them and everything else. So what was the real story on that? I mean, are they going to allow the militia to come back in there and do that again or is ICE going to come in here? Okay, wait a minute. Where did you hear that they broke them up? I came through the south side of the Cherry College, through the south pass. I'm talking about that. Are you talking about the Minuteman deployment or are you talking about what's going on now? No, the Minuteman deployment back then. Okay, during the Minuteman deployment, the only thing that got, they didn't get broken up. The person who was running it backed off on fulfilling his obligation. And that was the mistake. One person, everybody was waiting for a decision by one person, that magic silver bullet guy, and the magic silver bullet guy got paid off and nobody followed through on anything. Well, I remember each one, boy I don't know why I can't rattle his name off either. But what happened is, they were all threatened by the INS and stuff down there if they tried to organize down there to do anything, that they were going to jail them all when they were gone. Well, we're talking about the specific one month deployments that were focused. Don't confuse that with the General Minuteman activities. The Minuteman Project 1 and 2 were on the border, specifically hard deployment. Nobody was interfered with, in fact, just the reverse. They thought they were going to do some propaganda nonsense with the media. They had a bunch of dopers down there that were leftists that were going to film the atrocities. And during the entire activity, the only reason that the Gov-Dope pushers might have been pissed off is because literally the border was shut down. That's the difference. Now don't confuse that with the regular militia activities that were down there where yep, they had different different button paid for by the cartel federal agents and federal organizations. Well, hell yeah, they didn't want their dope money messed up. The other problem is people by that time they weren't focusing. Are they going to come in again to threaten to kill everybody? Well, no, no, no, there's a big, okay, here's the problem. When it's an isolated, like a squad, a platoon, where the people really want to do their own thing and they didn't stay in communication with everybody, they were isolated because they were, I'm special, you're not. And then what happened is because he didn't stay in touch with everybody and they didn't want to because they felt that they were special and they were, you know, they were going to do their thing while they were isolated, they were separated and then they failed because he did not maintain contact with the Patriot Communications Network. Well, guess what? They counted on the controlled media to provide some kind of honest reporting. The difference is the deployments for one month stayed for the whole month, started from day zero, worked to day 30, and were 100% successful with no conflict. That's what should be happening right now. But again, what has to happen, if you go to any of these sites, you get all these cowards coming up, which I believe half of them are government plants. You want to know who the government plants are? The weenies. The Weezers, what's the whole thing that this country has been taught? The Weezer-Winer BS. And that's really what the problem is here. Remember, we were all going to die if anybody went out to the Bundy Ranch, remember that? Everybody was going to die. They're going to round everybody up. You know how I can tell that? Because Obama's government, the people who were the rats that are trying to get in amongst us, did that. Now, we still had infiltration. We can bet on it, etc. And it still went to a feces pie for them. I was listening to your show this morning and you guys always play one of my favorite songs that I can never find. It's called Lookout Mountain and I think Dr. Don said it was from the Kentucky Head Hunters and I cannot find it. You could be the Kentucky Head Hunters. Now they're the brothers? Brothers? It all helps. I heard all the other ones but I don't like any of them besides the Kentucky Head Hunters version. I wanted to get that song and for the life of me I just can't find it anywhere. I don't know if it's because it's a transition CD to a new CD or if it was from tape to CD. because i don't know what the window of production for what you write about that when you go to youtube and you want to get you'll find all you know privately made versions that are old no no no they don't count it is not saying i mean if you are there are a bit but it's not the same and finding a copy of it your best bet is going to have to be possibly even go into a you know like a record store around the college or you know a uh... university where you've got people to collect stuff and i'm going to have a lot on youtube How do you guys play? That's from Joe's collection. Joe has a copy. I don't have a copy. I'm looking. Actually what I've been doing is going through all of our cassette tapes. We've got thousands. I have cases of. You know what I mean? And we've got a whole library of music here. And I've been watching to see if I have. In passing I might have gotten the music and don't know I've got it on the shelf. So I've got to go through everything that I've got because I'm also looking for some other late 70s music that I know I had that is probably going to be in the very last box where I should look first. You know that is. And if we do find it, I'll let you know. But the best bet is if you might even be able to get Joe, if you call into the micro effect, he's going to burn a copy off for you. I might even pay for it too because I heard that he's been eating some of them. Yeah, there you go. He probably has, if nothing else, he's got it on the computer because you can hear it. Now we're going to do you a favor because even, Don, you asked for it too. We did not play that all the way through today. Nope. We only, it fades off with a, you know, like into a martial piece and then goes, leaves the scene and fades. I'll ask to have them play it all the way through tomorrow. It all depends on who's behind the board, dad. Yeah, exactly. The kids know dad run things differently and that's always the case. You can get a feel for who's running the board. I think this morning it was one of his daughters, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and just that they're told how to do things, they're given instructions, and remember, they follow instructions and then it becomes their standard, unless they're given different instructions. So we'll fix that. In fact, I'll ask them, hey, you know, when we do the bottom of the hour or the half hour of song coming back, play it all the way through. I don't care how long it is because some of the pieces we've played, yeah, they are six or seven minutes long. But you know what? That kind of ear candy people just enjoy, especially when it's not the shortened version. I blast it. Yeah. I blast it. Well, whenever I hear it. And then you guys play it every single morning and sometimes on the night show too. Yep, appreciate it. Well, no, it's not a problem bringing any questions you guys have I don't care what it is morning or afternoon guys jump in there I mean I know how it is sometimes one chance you get to call in and This is something that we can kind of tweak for you. Remember you can always record it off the air Yeah, we just have to let you know we'll keep listening tomorrow. Well, actually be prepared bottom of the hour I'll try to get her play it all get her to play it all the way through or we could do something unique tomorrow I'll tell you what we'll do this at the bottom of every hour we'll play it all the way through all three hours. How's that sound? Seriously, I mean it needs to be down. I'm clearly on my phone or something. You're not the only person that's asked for it. I'm telling you, I got letters right here that are asking for, you know, like, wow can I get it? And I've had to write back and say, oh wow I don't know. I'm going to have to pull it off the program. It's like Visitor from the Past, where do you get it? We got it. You know, we're in. Because it's ours, you know, that's it. But Brothers Phelps was a very popular, I mean, you know, the Kentucky head on her slash Brothers Phelps is a very known and very popular group. That's why I'm surprised we're having such a tough time finding it. There's another guy that sings it. He sounds just like Johnny Cash, but he just sings it too slow. I just love how the Kentucky ones do it better. Yeah, it's more of a dirge. There's a difference between doing it as a dirge and doing it as a ballad. You know the dirge dirge dirge runs it more into the you know the funeral march Yeah, and old traditional funeral march and it literally would be remember. There's a pace to how you walk a funeral Yeah, and that's the dirge. That's what a dirge meter is you know whereas you know folk has a tendency to have more of a not an upbeat but have a Progressive and you know and timely beat to it so it gets you into the into the story you're listening to the story and There I was, there I was, this is what I did, there I was, this is what happened, oh well we didn't make that one. It marches you into it, but it marches you at a little faster pace. And we are well into the next hour. Oh my goodness, yes we are. For everybody out there, guys, appreciate all the input. One of the most important things to remember is Stay focused, understand the bad guys are going to try to push everybody off their square. They're trying to frag the country. You've got to make a choice about it. Like I told you this how many years ago. That screen door down there in Texas eventually was going to get even opened up beyond where it is. And it's happened exactly the way we warned you. The enemy is not only at the gate, they're now in the court and they're battling for the front door, kids. God bless the Republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Ooh, Don, your number for night vision. Please give it out twice. She'll be available in just a minute. God, those are gunsights. Green screens are thermal. My number is 231796. 231, 796, 84, 58. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless America. Is that a faucet, Roni? That's not a faucet! That's a river rushing through the forest! Forest rivers provide over 100 million people with clean water to drink. What? I can't hear you because of the vacuum. That's not a vacuum. That's the trees in the forest, cleaning up the air we breathe. I didn't know the trees were so amazing. Yep, and the forest gives us shade, trees to climb. That's awesome. Let's go explore some more. Visit the forest today and enjoy all it does. Just for you.
