Live 365 As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given rite, 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Liberty Free Radio dot for mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com, our name is FM Micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, the 5th, the Pitt, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast where the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land on the smoky slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make the light work a million, Pedico junction operators the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline well it is the twenty-seventh of june sixth year of open baby and socialist and soviet socialist occupation america became two thousand fourteen older calendar or notar dame as many of the football coach in indiana scooby i think i heard something about football and no order dame as well whatever anyway everybody out there it is it's friday it is quartermaster friday by the way believe the touch on other subjects uh... This weekend, by the way, good afternoon for all of our brothers and sisters over there at Camp Emmerich, Camp Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Whalen North, the Ogham Aranges, and Naga Hitcham, along with Fox and Wolf. Everybody's active this weekend. Zussman Ackerman, both dad and the sons are here in town. They're going to be doing a series of classes. and in fact all the machinery has been brought in. They're going to build, actually I think they've already started this project as of today. Mid-day they would be on it. But they're going to be building, showing how to build barrels from scratch. That's one of the things they're doing, 50 caliber barrels. We don't need to absolutely do that right now, but it's something that can be done. and a lot of the traditional Americana slash industrial processes that are simple, the earliest and straightforward are what's going to be taught how to make a barrel from scratch, how to make the tools that you need to make the barrel and to make the rifling. There are a few tools once built will be around for a period of time. There's the extrusion slash pull method for creating the rifling in the barrels. The tools themselves have to be made first and that's something that they're going to be teaching everybody. So good work there. Everybody's keeping that up. It has been a warm day today. Temperatures, of course, have been in the upper end of the 80s and lower 90s, depending on where you are. So it's been warm. It's a sunny and a summer day, to say the least, with lots of humidity here in Michigan. So the plants are happy. They're really cooking. I don't mean cooking is from the heat. I'm just saying that they're taking off, guys. They're growing. They're growing like there's no tomorrow. My goodness. I'm like I'm so much clapped. Anyway. all of the freedom pollute of freedom pollute yes freedom pollute so we got freedom pollute coming up here very shortly and for all of you out there listening please take the time to get there freedom pollute dot com and you can also go to w w w dot poger face dot com poger face dot com poker face dot com they got all the information you need their to get all the rest of work done as needed So jump in there, stop by at the webpage, lock in, it will give you a map showing you where you need to be. And then you can do a Google Map if you want, and Google search with a suggested best route there. It's the least time spent. Personal choice, you guys have to figure that out yourself. If you know the roads leading up to, most of the people coming from east to west typically are going to be taking 80 though, it's the fastest route. And you may, if you're becoming up from the south, take any number of other roads, you know, too numerous to mention. So again, you're going to figure it out. But the third through the sixth of July, freedom, Beluza, freedom, Beluza, freedom, Beluza. And then we'll go from there. So do we have any other callers before any further? And do we still have our caller from the last hour? Forgive me, we didn't call it cancely out. So if you're still there, you can jump in. I hate leaving people hanging there. 712-4320900 is the phone number for call in. 712-4320900. The room number is 957-464-pound sign. That's 957-464-pound sign. So if you get a chance to jump in on that, you can call in if you have any questions or a particular subject if you want to bring up with Quartermaster because we do have Solutions were not just complaining about the problems. It's horrible. It's horrible. I'm telling you, yeah, yeah, we know that. Okay, now, number one, Centerfiresystems.com. They have their weekend deals posted on the ARs. They're about what we expect them to be. That's not a surprise. About $700 for the Bushmasters. In fact, $699.99. That's $700 for a bush master. Okay, that's just all there is to it. They do have a Polish ak-47 package now. This is interesting I don't know how they're doing this to be quite honest because they're not selling it as a handgun However add your favorite buttstock. So let's see what this says. Well Why the I mean, maybe it's a way to save some money. I don't know but here's the thing if you go to www.centerfiresystems.com then go to the new, right on the front page, new products, Polish 762x39 Sporter AKM, semi auto of course, and it's add your own stock, add your own buttstock package. So you get for $400 the AK with the gaping hole back of the receiver with the tangent everything in place to add your own buttstock. Whatever you happen to find that's cheapest for the mostest or whatever you have the flavor of the day that's preference, you have the ability to put together a under $450 AK. Now there's no mag with it apparently. It looks like it's just the rifle, which I think is rather interesting too, but they have brought the price down to $400 by doing that. So here's another $400 AK. It is a Polish AK, I don't have any problem with Polish AKs at all, beautiful weapons, the Poles do great work, even on their worst day. So, add your own buttstock. Personally, you might even change out that pistol grip and do the SVD type sniper rifles stock, but there's a number of different RPD type beaver board, whatever, take your pick and you can replace that buttstock real quick for probably between $12 and $15 if you look around. Magazines would then be the next step because there's no mag that comes with a gun, not even one. More and more you're seeing this. I've never seen this in the past. This is a unique thing about what's going on in the market right now, guys. So, just like E-Circle, they're selling the guns without the mags. Handguns. More on that in a minute, by the way, if you didn't hear what I said the other day. Polish 7.62x39 supporter AKM slash AK-47. add your own buttstock, take a look at the pictures, it's self-explanatory but it's $400 for the rifle and it's brand new as is, they however many have, I don't know. So you're gonna have to find that out for yourselves, I really don't know but it's on the front page, easy to spot. Now there is something else, probably wondering why I didn't mention it. Well, yes they've got the last of the supply out of production, the Sumi M31 9mm carbines for $400, they're not gonna be converting any more of the kits. The drums are, if you buy the rifle, for $400, you can get the two of the drums for $40 for the set. I definitely would do that. That's a good buy. This is one of the few weapons that takes a military drum that's readily available for the time being, but they're not going to be there forever. So this is probably one of the last chances you're going to get to buy a weapon or own a weapon like this. But it is a kind of like the pepeche. It's from the same window of activity, but this is the Sumium 31 in 9 millimeter parabellum. So, yeah, everything is standard 9. You'll easily recognize it. There aren't any more being built. Again, they're saying last of the supply out of production. Now, they had a good window on these through center fire systems. I talked to them. They had a good in with who was providing the weapons, who actually was making them. They were able to keep those up in an inventory, you might remember, as the weapons all dried up. At least we were able to find a few of these to put on the shelf every so many days, so they were selling something. It's a decent weapon. It's going to be heavy, I will tell you that right off the bat. With the 71 round drum and a heavy stable platform, It will get the job done. It will do a fine job of working the system, being able to work the 9mm Parabellum round to perfection. So again, that's 1-800-950-1231. But I would point out you can't probably call for the weekend. Centerfiresystems.com, Centerfiresystems.com. Centerfiresystems.com right on the front page. Okay, next what else do we have here? That's interesting. That was about it for Centerfire. The other question was body armor the other day. There are some other companies that are bidding on the latest batch of fed armor that's coming out I don't know who's gonna get it because that's always a toss of the coin somebody might just be willing to throw a little few more shekels into the pile and if they do well that's gonna be all she wrote for trying to you know outbid somebody that's absolutely after something so one of the places that you can go I've mentioned many times keep shooting dot com keep shooting dot com keep shooting dot com now keep shooting dot com Does have oh wow well as a matter of fact they've got the British Osprey mark for Body armor set this just came in these just came in today. I might have worn here the last couple days and Oh God, it's in multi cam, so it's probably just the shell. Let's see what they say here Yes, the shell 15 pounds in weight just for the shell Wow think about that British Osprey Mark IV body armor set is the largest, or forgive me, latest generation of Osprey body armor that is the standard issue armor of British armed forces. We received a shipment of the unissued body armor sets that were never put into active duty. You've seen this Special Forces body armor set being worn by UK S.F. in the news and now you can own the very same tactical body armor as they do. Okay, wait a minute. The British Osprey, well what comes with the kit? I'm not really, I understand all of that. Let's see, we get collars, large and small, which attach to the vest carrier. You have the option of wearing no collar, small collar, or large collar with your Osprey system. shoulder panels left and right, brassords left and right, a cummerbund left and right, operation panel, operations panels for use when not using the cummerbund. Part of the light fighting order configuration adds more molly attachment points to the front of the carrier vest. Okay, so I guess we'll have to find out more. I can't believe that that's got armor in it. It says body armor is set though. Nah, we're going to have to call to find out. I'm pretty sure it's the carrier, but it is multi cam. So if you're looking for multi cam, then this is a solution perhaps for you. They do have the carriers for the shoulder, for the arms, for the waist wrap around the whole nine yards. It is multi-cam, I mean multi-cam, $99.95 for what appears to be a brand new Mark IV Osprey vest system. Now they do have for $59.00 a British Osprey body armor Kevlar inserts that are all of the small armor pieces, I mean all the junk top to bottom. That includes the shoulder panels, the arm panels, the neck panels, the brassords, etc. etc. That is at KeepShooting.com, KeepShooting.com. The British Osprey Mark IV body armor set is on the front page. Now I'm pretty sure that's just the body itself in because it's got more decam. If nothing else, even though it's just the shell, they're going to command charge more for it. That's just the way it is, guys. Can't help that. It's what we expect. However, is it a body armor? Otherwise, so we've got the Osprey system there in the Mark IV. There's also some Mark I and Mark II Osprey Brown slash Desert DPM camouflage. That is pretty reasonably priced too. So again, for everybody out there, if you're looking for it, you can go to Body. When you do get to KeepShooting.com, KeepShooting.com, Body Armor. is what you want to punch in body armor and if you hit the search for that, uh oh, body armor. Okay, hold on a second here. That was Yahoo! I didn't need Yahoo! Oh man, I always do stuff like this. There we go, let's try the regular search. How about body armor? Now I'm bringing this up because this new item means they found some other cool stuff. And then you always want to check out when they found, when you find some cool stuff, you never know what else might be there. Okay. Yes, so again, there's a mix. Well, they do have another undercover Garant Protective Ballistic Vest for $500 apiece. Yes, they have added a few more items. And of course they got the British Osprey Mark IV. British Osprey Mark II plate carriers are $60. The British Osprey Mark IV are $100. Now, the one that's the Mark II is the British DPM Desert. and that's obviously, well actually it's pretty good, it's pretty good equipment. Now, I'm going to try to find, see what else they have here, might jump out at me. Oh, okay. And they do have something else that they haven't, nobody else has had a whole lot of. Now this is not as cheap as Apex Gun Parts, but they do have Bumpley Front Lady Body Armor, girls body armor. Apparently, second chance body armor. Wow, for $190 a vest. And I'm bringing this up for a reason because the girls would like this, I am sure. All these are surplus used, but if this is the government stuff, it's like, you know, government, like department enforcement stuff for the corporates. Typically, you can't even tell that they're used if the ones are used. I'm going to tell you that right now. I've had too many thousands of these that we've bought for people. and over and over again they typically, there's nothing wrong with them, nothing exotic, you know, strange about them. Perfectly serviceable, ready to use. At the bottom of the hour, we are going to go to a bottom of the hour break if we can. I want to try and find something else that seems to disappear. It looks like they pulled some other information from one of the pages here, guys. And it wouldn't surprise me because I was looking at some additional equipment today. They have already sold out and I don't really want to bother anybody with it. Several things people are actually outfitting as quickly as it can find resources a lot of people are listening what I've been saying About the idea of taking advantage of all this markdown to go to the closures the closeouts the Markdowns and the or defective which sometimes the defective. It's like well. What was the problem? And you can't find it even if you do it's camouflage who cares? but the body armor And Kevlar helmets, you're gonna see, you're seeing also a price creep or interest price creep, which happens when people start to buy and they're going, oh, this is moving, we'll jack the price up and see if everybody is as excited about it. Well, they've jacked the price up and now that they have, it's like, well, now it's the same price as everything else, so I guess I'll just pick and choose from whatever you got. That's typically how people look. Even if it's $10 or more in savings, yeah. If it's less than $10 and there's nothing much savings or if it's more but there's no savings then it's painful to wait to be beat on by whoever for, you know, well, just going out there and buying what you expected, I guess. The one big problem with, or not being able to find it at all, we know how that is, the government armor especially, the majority of it guys has never worn, there's actually a reason for buying a big lump of it and buying the same model. If you do get shot, that vest is compromised. Now, I wouldn't throw it away at any way, shape or form, but government that has your tax dollars, somebody get shot they don't want to worry about liability and unemployment and all kinds of different stuff so you're gonna get a new best well they have to have on standby a number of vests or percentage i who came up with a number somebody in the bureaucracy in government and they tell them how many best and how many panels and how many four pieces how much anti-personnel stuff you should have around blah blah blah blah blah and it's just the nature of the beast. So when you see this, remember that there is a standard that was established that's repeated over and over again with the equipment at hand, with how it's built, what it does, where it can be found. The body armor that we're seeing from Apex is Fed Armor that came from Puerto Rico. I haven't seen a bad vest yet. I haven't seen one that I even would consider really used. But apparently they even use the term heavily used and I can't see it. They're not beat up. Now maybe the last ones they have because they're running, they are running down on the inventory there, I could understand. But that's not the case with pretty much everybody that we're seeing at the other end here. So the equipment looks pretty decent. They've got a good quantity still. KeepShooting.com is probably the best example. They have at least a number because they purchased a big lump. But, being eaten quick. Go ahead, call and jump in there. Yeah, this is BC. I did a little research on buying one of those and how come you guys have... Yeah. Again, they don't know because of storage. It's kind of like they're arguing that they could be stale cookies, but you open the package and they taste just fine. Exactly. That's one of the things people make a mistake on. These are a polymer, but understand. By the way, I don't know if you caught this. The woman who invented Kevlar was given the credit for inventing Kevlar. She just passed away. As a matter of fact, the best that I was... Right. they're made out of it. years ago and we did a laboratory test where we started everybody goes well we know what will happen with this we know what not all we're not treating it that way we're gonna go from you know twenty two all we have to high-powered rifle we're gonna do a standard laboratory three-shot on these panels we're gonna find out what they do and uh... the the older type fifty six body armor that's the old flat vest everybody calls okay or the Kevlar, the first model Pascat armor. I had both because they were cutting up some of the new vests. If they couldn't give them to a police department, they cut them up. They actually have to cut them up, but they're harder than hell to cut up, so they have to use a cut-off shear. They have a cut-off shear in the warehouse for doing this. That's so many tons. So I got these panels are all nice shape actually I've used them and sewed them in other equipment to you know make you know armor for protecting gear you know protecting hardware and 22 stopped 25 stop, 32 stop, but the check stuff bit through harder. We had the check AP back years ago that the checks made and I wish I could get more of it. You guys see any of the check, 32 ACPM when you've got a check 32. Remember that was built for the Scorpion pistol and it is a conical AP round. Now those would bite through a big chunk of the armor, but they were still 32 ACP round. 380 stops, 9mm most stops but 9mm AP or 9mm SMG hot loads would dimple through so you're going to get some stippling underneath without any other supplemental armor. Here's an interesting fact that you guys might find interesting out in the listening audience and maybe you do Mark. The Patriot plates that I called in about your... Oh yeah. These plates and I'm reading this right off, these are genuine military 30-06 AP rounds. Check out the video you know you can work in the go ahead and give a side of a couple more times for everybody please yeah yeah that's uh... that's main gun military for the name of his site and they are and main you can get that that's very good deal especially the shipping is quite reasonable considering item now i'd be uh... carriers pretty well we've got them for the standard carriers that are out there right now the the market is uh... pretty well fixed on dimensions well he's got two different carriers that he's actually all the thing you get the tan i guess maybe uh... very good i was trying to see if i could find any of the other role actually the carriers they have uh... if you're using the uh... woodland camel go the green if you're looking to try and blend in with the bad guys ode green uniform and black body armor Because you'll notice if you pay attention you'll see black body armor, you'll see green on green, you'll see sometimes even some camouflage variants. But just have an OD green, Austrian or OD green battle dress uniform, Austrian flight, mechanics and flight coveralls right now are pretty cheap. And they're in the US OD green, green standard green weaning uniform and they match perfectly with the stuff that the other side's wearing. So the cool thing is, is you can pick up something fairly cheap to slide on fast, put the armor on, put your gear on. Your space, you know, Zip Gun Air 15 looks just like theirs, or close enough you won't know the difference, and you'll notice that they have many variations themselves. So the cool thing is, is there's lots of confusion with regard to friend-foe, shoot, no shoot. Yeah, regardless whatever they wear, we can blend right in with them. Right, Mr. Duct Tape is your friend. Carry a roll of white duct tape, carry a roll of yellow duct tape. The white duct tape will give you the letters like FIB or FAT. Of course, I don't know who else that might represent. And of course there's like LAB, LAM, LAM, LAM, LAM, LAM, LAM. Oh, Lamy Chops. But anyway, remember, do a spot check. What do you got out there? Turn around, a little pair of scissors or a little razor blade, some quick cutting, a little bit of artwork. And unless they're right on top of each other, they're not going to know who you are. You know, when you talk about that, that reminds me of a movie in New York. It'd be they come in and they swat teams. Oh, right, yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. And that's exactly how he escaped up until the end when the... Yep. And that's a great movie. Lots of confusion. Remember, the biggest thing is it's conditioned to shoot, no shoot, friend-fo. That's why, and I'll point something out. You might, guys, I hope everybody, you know, BC, thanks for bringing this up, because something that I did see finally in the Ukrainian situation. First of all, everybody's got any uniform you can imagine in service. And if you don't think so, watch the video from about, what, two or three days ago. They had one of the Ukrainian military commanders, not one of the eastern Ukrainian. Western Ukrainian, who is supposed to be with a regular army, right? He's wearing British Desert DPM, and it still has the British logo markers, the British unit flag markers on the shoulders, on the arm. They haven't even changed. I've been buying those like that for some of the units here. They've got all the unit patches and everything on them. Well, the fact of the matter is that what happens is because of all of these unique combinations that are showing up with lots of confusion, remember the Mexicans, they used the yellow and black crime scene tape, crime scene cheapie plastic tape, and they tied it to their epi-lip boards, and they tied it to the back of their hats. or their helmets and they had it on the end on the barrel of their guns. Why? Friend, foe, shoot, no shoot. When they went into the town, everybody that went into that town knew that if you've got the yellow markers, if I see them anywhere, you're one of us. They were something that whatever it is they use as far as it could be crime scene. It could be stay off It could be you know, alto alto alto who knows But the fact of the matter is that that's something that was used out in Mexico only in the last six months You've seen the militias down there. Well, you'll notice if you pay attention in the Ukraine You're seeing the same thing happen now units are using hasty slash changeable friend fo markers They're putting them on the epulets. They're putting them on the collars. They're putting them on the hat. They're also hanging them from the back of their gear. Now there's even older images of this friend-foe issue. This is what I'm saying guys, it is so hard to figure out who's zoo in the zoo. If you just, if you're trying to infiltrate or exfiltrate, the biggest problem is not getting shot by your friends. But if you know that you're the only people operating in an area, all you have to do is be a percentage correct. And as long as you look like you belong there, like you're in charge, people are not going to be noticing or dealing with you. They're going to be looking for the people that are trying to sneak and peek. And if you are already squared away and you move through an area and you just, you know, especially where you see a rabble move where a bunch of back faggots, a bunch of feds, a bunch of UN troops are moving towards a mess area or they're milling through an area because they're waiting for, you know, any number of different things. Moving through that group is not that hard provided you take a look, look to see what the most common standard items are. And they're simple things to carry. It's like headgear. It's like the color of your Kevlar helmet. I carry, my Kevlar helmets are black base painted. Then I have a woodland camouflage cover on the helmet itself. But then I have another brown camouflage cover inside the crown folded up into the top of the helmet. I have three color options with me all the time. Now you can also paint the helmet OD green, which traditionally, I'll leave it traditional, but take a look at the average bear out there with regard to the Colescuttle helmet crew. Black is very common. Now you could, would go OD green, and then go a woodland camo cover, and then you can buy black cloth camo covers for the Kevlar helmets. And by the way, those are pretty common out there too. And from a distance, 99% of the characters looking at you, 99% will go, oh, black helmet, one of ours. Black helmet. Yeah, black helmet. They won't really look at detail, even if they do. There's so many oddball variations. Look at Boston with the Boston Marathon bombing and the police state house-to-house stuff afterwards. Did you see a standard consistent uniform there? Did you see everybody wearing the same weapon, wearing the same equipment, wearing the same equipment? Think about it. Go back and look at those pictures. Ask yourself if you're trying to exfiltrate through or trying to, again, back out of an area, how would you do it? There are a lot of different ways they can be done. Thank you, BC. I needed to bring that up because that's something that is true. But I'm not joking about the electrical tape will work, but it won't stick as well. Duct tape sticks to everything. That's a wonderful tool. I love duct tape. There's one more detail. One more. Yeah, the Constance Grimace Lemon expression. Yeah, I hate that. With a touch of extreme arrogance. Amen. I hear another caller. I'll back off. Thank you, sir. Thank you for bringing that up to you and again body armor guys We are with some subject we were on go ahead call her next one jump in there, please. Yeah mark George from Texas Go ahead. What do you got? Well before I called it? Well militia number I called the county up on the sandbag distribution is now being distributed by the county emergency management because of hurricane season that started out of sandbags and there are are getting them but now that i'll be what they are using their screening card that's part of that uh... again i have told her by the end for free they just got a all they have to do is send a moving truck up pick up the box truck pick up as many as they can bring them back They're free for them. They go to a depot. In fact, there's two ways this happens, George. In the state of Texas, you have the state PDO, property disposition office, and what they do is they, if you go in, you're with the township or the county, you can get anything you can imagine there, just like government sales. Everything you see at government liquidation, the state has the same way. And they get stuff from the government to depot centrally so that they can access it at the township and at the county level. The other way is you can go direct. The counties can go direct, the townships and the fire departments can go right too. And they grab as many trucks as they take, they fill them up and take them back with them. I know the city of Sweeney, they just bought a two and a half expando van. A man center for the police. Yeah, they needed all that room. Donuts do take up space. That's why they expando van. Oh god. Well, the good thing is, at least it's in our hands. You know what I mean? It'll look good when we repaint it, it'll be camouflaged again instead of the SS, you know, slash the KGB black. Because it'll be KGB black or it's going to be some dark, dark blue, so dark blue you can't tell that it isn't black. Right? You know what? Some woman in Ukraine told me, I talked to her, she said there goes those Chechen fighters, they're standing up to them, they run. Well that varies, these are Chechen mercenaries too, that's one of the things to remember, they are really, again, The basic rule about mercenaries, and mercenaries fight to varying degrees of performance. Some, they really are again kind of good to the trade. Others, as Machiavelli said, will eat you out of substance in time of peace and are totally unreliable in time of war. The mercenary cannot be counted upon. Read The Prince by Machiavelli and what he has to say. Remember there's that series, The Borgia, which by the way, that's the era of Machiavelli, and he's actually in there in the soap opera, the Borgia television series soap opera, because that's what it is. with lots of blood guts and gore and killing, but it's still a soap opera. And Machiavelli, the character of Machiavelli is in there as part of the plot, part of the theme. So it's kind of cool to check that out just for that reason and understand that his place in history and what he was looking at with regard to the politics of not only the day, but of man in general. Go ahead. Well, there's another thing. It's poetic justice. It's not getting reporting, but I've been hearing a lot of Border Patrol agents getting their heads completely shaved because they got head lights from those elite... He said, you are. Well, that's not only that, but there's a lot of other bugs being brought up from down south. Now, I would point something out about the one thing we were discussing here about, what, three months ago. A couple of our people, we've got friends, in fact, they've been Our friends and good companions slash allies for a long, long, long, long time. And they worked down in Belize. Well, Belize when that 2008 thumper economy thing took place. All those people, it's like in America, we're all going to be the managers. We're all going to be in charge of what I don't know, but back with Naff and Gatt, we're going to be a service society. Yeah, by the time 2014 rolls around, we're going to be fighting over minimum wage jobs. Well, the thing is that what happened is Belize had a tourist industry like all the rest of these little dots on the map. But all it took was one hiccup in the economy and like I said what we used to call these were veneer economy. They were veneer economies. A veneer economy doesn't produce anything and South America rose during the roaring 20s like this. South America when the Depression hit in 29 whole cities disappeared back into the rainforest. Not back when the Mayans were there guys. We're talking modern times. Okay. The roaring 20s, everything was booming. The oil industry down there was going to gangbusters. All of a sudden, eeeeek pow! They hit the wall. Well Belize did the same thing in 08 and 09. And all of a sudden, for instance, well, we cannot afford to paint the buildings because it is expensive. But the tourists, we cannot afford to do the bug spray. But the tourists, well, we cannot afford to kill the rats. And so a lot of people have gone down there where they were all yeah, I go down to Belize and blah blah blah blah blah, which by the way was it was a very popular place even for Europe a little one of those corner spots for the longest time it's old British Honduras by the way is what Belize used to be called the British British Honduras Belize now is overrun with rats bugs and nobody wants to go down there and vacation and amongst the rats and the bugs So you're seeing people from these countries scurrying up here And the people maintenance wasn't any better. Okay, because everything took a hit. The economy in general, they're counting on benefits from America in terms of missionaries and other work that's done. That's how bad their economy is again. And it hasn't kicked back. It hasn't jumped back up. Because our economy hasn't jumped back up. There ain't a whole lot of people running down to Central America to a third world country. without all the paint, without all the gloss, and without all the bug control and pest control. And that's something that again is part of the factor here. That's what's coming north. There are a lot of issues when you get back away from that veneer society like Cancun. Why do you think all those guys around Cancun carry machine guns? Everybody, we used to joke about that, look down in these banana republics, you got a guy with a submachine gun walking along with a guy with a pistol and they're all muscling up on all the locals. Hey, sounds like New York City 2014, doesn't it? Guys with machine guns waddling around down the street you read all the old National Geographic and Time magazine articles and National Geographic They took a picture down at Cancun Because the federales and the secret police down there don't like their pictures taken and what they do is they took a picture through some guy's armpit And there's the two guys, this is an example of a den of republics down here, and like even in Cancun, how the locals are treated, and these guys have submachine guns and they're walking around on the beach. Ah, don't worry, now you come up here in the United States, they'll grab your crotch, they'll sniff the glove after they've grabbed your crotch, because they're, you know, queers or pedophiles, one or the other. or both and on top of that you got the good old government with all the rest of the secret police BS we all swore we'd never let happen in the United States walking all over the country. Well Mark when I went on cruise to Bahamas and the Caribbean it went like Trinidad, uh, islands. Mark I gotta say I have not met so many ladies that had hairy armpits. Oh that's a European thing. I don't know. It at least proves that she's a woman and not a girl. Yeah. Everybody kind of forgets that. With all these girls doing things that are like shaving parts of their body that really don't need to be shaved, I mean, there's only one person that's supposed to see them there, right? Unless they're some other kind of girl and then I guess everybody's going to see them there. Well, wait a minute. That's not what I want. Well, it didn't bother me as long as they used deodorant. Right, well you better jump in the ocean every once in a while. Trust me, it works wonders. It's mineral water. It'll do just fine. There's salt there, which by the way is the majority of what Remember the Underarm Deodorant is. Salt there. Oh, you got another color, yeah. Go ahead, jump in there, color. There's a lot of American money in those Belize banks, Mark. Oh, hell yeah. In fact, all of them. Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua. In Nicaragua, it's mostly the leftist gangs that are, of course, trying to hide their bucks down there. Belize because of the British connection. That's why they've been given favored status. So while they, again, yeah, they still have their money laundering going on through every one of those nation states selectively. It depends on who you're associated with. On one side of the fence or the other with regard to the different factions and scammers out there. The big thing though is that that's where that wave is coming from up through Central America. These countries have taken a hit. What's really happened is they've ratcheted back down to where their traditional economy and their economic level of production has been, would be. In fact, really the tourist business was not a production operation. Belly gun type economic structure is a very short range and has to count on the idea that it's going to be repeat, repeat, repeat, nearly constant repetition. But to do that you have to reinvest. And if you lose the money that you use to reconstruct or reinvest constantly, especially in a tropical environment, well, it doesn't take long for everything to go to hell in a hand cart. In South America, like in Venezuela and in Paraguay, well, not Paraguay, they weren't as bad, Brazil, Argentina, those countries, when they took a hit in 29, in two years, whole villages and cities that were, they, some of them, they called like the Venice of South America. They were completely gone. I mean, just literally, it's hard for people to imagine what could happen because if you're not there every day, well, look what happened to the Mayan Empire. How do you find the Mayan Empire in the Yucatan? How do you find the Mayan Empire in southern Mexico? You hire a whole village and they chop for months on end to get back through the foliage and to chop back the root systems that build up on top of the ruins and the wreckage, guys. And you know what? If they stop chopping and they all walk away and they don't maintain it, It doesn't take long for Mr. Rainforest to come back and occupy its territory. See, that's something people don't talk about. They don't think about, really. It's something that doesn't. Because they see the pretty images. Well, it always looked like that. You know how much man time it took just to clear what you're looking at there? And that's only like a one square mile area and not even that. Just to try and uncover a part of civilization that was made out of stone. And most of that 1920s construction was made in wood. And so between rock, worms, termites and everything else, without maintenance and with no money to maintain it, it went right back to the soil is what it did. Living in a rural environment such as where that's going. Yeah, it's coming back to visit, isn't it? Oh yeah, I have these heavy underbrush You know you were talking about you know our caller was other color the other I was talking about Star Wars lived in This is something I'll give you a point government understands this completely Okay, and also the fact that people are not attentive now spies are and people who understand detail work are but think about all the missile silo command posts that we built during the Cold War and The fact that they were you know the entrances the buildings are ranch style houses plopped on the real estate just like anybody else's house except for that cycle fence that surrounds them. And usually some agriculture is going on up above ground around it, but otherwise the idea was of order to look like everything else in the surrounding area if at all possible. But another example of that is, years ago the island that Tesla originally did the other end of his research when he did the free range power experiment from Niagara Falls, You know that's not an abandoned complex. Now when you drive up to where the bridge is, it crosses it guys. It is Star Wars lived in. They've let the foliage grow up. It goes right to the edge of the bridge. The bridge, the road has got grass growing out of the cracks. Everything looks just like it. I mean, man, this is nowhere. And if you get past the bridge and you walk over all the obstacles that they've got in place, which by the way are just mobile obstacles, a gate. Well, the grass is not mowing along the road. There's nothing manicured. The trees are growing up close to the road, you know, as far as, you know, hanging over. But then you get about a hundred yards in and around the first woods, around the corner, and all of a sudden the world changes about 200 yards in. All of a sudden the grass is cut and the road isn't so scraggly and doesn't have any grass or anything growing in it. and you turn one more corner and there's a brand new building and then you go farther in all of the original complex is out at the end of the island and interestingly enough while the old buildings have been taken down by storm and wind over a period of with the last century what's fascinating guys is there are uh... ten inch and twelve inch size electrical conduit lines traveling from the new buildings down into the underground basement complexes of Tesla's original structures. Don't know what's there, but you know what? You can't get into them by direct access from the original tunnels. Now the original buildings were made in red brick, the old red brick and not glazed brick, red brick. And what's interesting is all of that is still sitting there above ground. None of it's been blown up or busted up or anything. But the brand new conduits go underground to those tunnels. And then there's a brand new cement block wall sealing those entrances up so you don't go in that way. Now the conduit goes through those brand new cement block walls. But the average person looking at the road ain't nothing down there. Oh, it looks pretty lonesome Nobody's been traveling there. By the way, there's cars all parked all through there There's people going in and out the guys that infiltrated in just stayed on foot and stayed off in the roughage Walked through the whole area filmed everything. Oh, wow at first they're thinking man This is gonna be pretty bare and it's gonna be pretty tough Well, then they realized when they got down past all of the obstacles and the past the you know first area first areas where you couldn't really see directly You know from the bridge the whole world changes and the rest of the complex So again guys, looks are deceiving and you know can affect just a minimal amount can deter a lot of curiosity. What the eyes cannot see, the heart does not long for. Think about it. And or if it's a yucky or smelly or yucky, broken up enough, they're probably gonna think it isn't worthwhile. just something to consider. Why and how and why to make things deceive in general. The bad guys of course, or to go the other way. It's like I said, World War II, when we were in Wake Island, we lost all of our aircraft. But you know one of the mechanics on the ground, the first thing they did, they were down to only a couple planes, but they fixed up and beat back all the metal of all the blown up or shot up aircraft. And they kept pasting them back together, so the Japanese waste bombs on the wrecks. and not destroy the aircraft that were still serviceable. Works both ways. Either you make it look pretty when it's not, or you make it look scruffy when you really don't want people to have a great interest in it to think it's worthwhile. Maybe a dead dog out by the end of the driveway isn't a bad thing, right? Of course that might bring in the raccoons, but then again, a raccoon is a pretty tasty animal when you're hungry. Yeah, yeah, let's let the raccoon look around that dog corpse down in the end of it. Ah, there we go. Yeah, we're trying to bring a raccoon in. We'll leave the dog there. He's not really useful. But that raccoon's tasty and he's fresh. Just something to think about there. Anyway, anything else? BC, go ahead, jump in there, please. Uh-oh. Yeah, well, yeah. Well, dog poop and everything else, yeah. You know, somebody needs to come out. actually that wouldn't be that hard because it would you know where to do that you can go to uh... a uh... fear production facilities you know where they have like costume shops and all of the the the uh... right now the plastics are available for molding and forecasting and you find components that if you were to incorporate with other you could make a very confident looking uh... you know roadkill that nobody would really want to mess with it yet a little stench Oh yeah. You know what I mean? In fact, you can make it so that the busted open ribs, you know, and the broken open like it's like from aliens, you know, make it so it's busted open, make that into a literally a vase. You know, make it so it's an actual water retaining, you know, a location, what you do is take some old meat, throw that in there, throw anything you want, whatever is biomaterial that it prefers with protein, and throw yourself, you know, a little bit of vinegar in there, a little drop, a few drops of vinegar and then some water. and don't worry I give it some some like we got right now oh yeah and have real high wow what is that don't kick it It might explode! Yeah, don't kick it. I wouldn't kick it. And you know what, if you threw a few more chunks of something edible in there, that's not too edible. What would happen is it would break down and it would attract flies the whole nine yards. You couldn't tell between the scabius fur and the busted up chicken bones you use or whatever. It would be perfect. We are the top! Well, don't worry, we can talk more about this next hour, guys, because... ...Militia Town Hall, coming up next. God bless the Republic. Yeah, it's in world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, first day and night. Ooh, Ron, by the way, you can put your camera in the dead dog. And even a microphone in the dead dog. I don't think anybody's gonna steal the dead dog, and I don't think they're gonna steal your camera if it's the eyeball. Sitting there hanging on an angle outside of that little corpse. Yeah, that works. Think about small phones cameras are becoming phones guys think about what you could do with that. We're gonna go for now Thank you BC guys everybody for the input and we'll be back at 8 with The okay and myself here evening until reported Friday. Bye. Bye guys of the revolution.
