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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You 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 can be brought. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iooke 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 to 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? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. And a butter knife. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, southwest, east, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, our name is M.M. Microstations, CB Bay Stations, and all product technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon to the Aleutians. You're way behind us. Waving to the left coast. And of course also the east we have both the hallmark and the golden spike doing their part for our friends in the left coast by the way over there in the great state of Jefferson. Congratulations, keep up the good work. People are noticing that you guys are staying focused when everybody else is stumbling around. Well, it is. the end of the day we've got a little bit of cloud cover that's moved in. We had blue skies with little puppies but I can't expect it. There's a front that's moved in. Won't be surprised if we get some rain late this evening. We'll see what happens there. If we had a little bit of time after we do the program we could do some more yard work. Actually some more construction and work. DK, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the day today? It was jumping off the wall. It is 11 July 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last day of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this quarter masters corner. And it has been a fairly quiet week for me. I had an interesting little event that I might get into. But it has been fairly clear, usual hot, steamy Midwestern summer. But we're halfway into July. The corn stocks that ought to be knee-high traditionally are now at lumberjack stage. I wonder if they're actually going to put in a second crop because these things have been growing so much. We had tons of rain last month or so, not none this week, so that at least is pleasant. But on the news, we have also had just sort of more of the same The Ukrainian national forces are continuing to perform ethnic cleansing of their eastern provinces with U.S. London, British and probably Israeli collusion in there. Nothing quite like final solutioning a chunk of your own population. If you have Western press and Western powers backing you, it's not called final solution anymore. It's called anti-terrorism or anti-separatism or whatever the case is. So depending on who you are and who is behind you, You are either committing outrageous war crimes and atrocities or minor internal policing operations. It sort of depends on circumstances. Just like the Izzies are doing exactly the same thing. Three teenagers were killed. We don't know whether that was false flag killing or whether it really was some troublemakers within the Palestinian groups. going absolutely medieval on their open-air prison that they call the Gaza Strip, air strikes, artillery, all this stuff. Last I've heard they killed something like 100 people and seriously wounded several hundred people. I guess the moral of the story is if you're a member of the Chosen, or you've got the US behind you, you can do anything and it's not an atrocity or a war crime. business as usual. If some individual flips out and kills a family member, that's a high crime. But if an organization like the Izzies or the Ukrainian regime or what have you does it hundreds of times over, well, that's no big deal. So can we say propaganda? Well, yeah, can we say hypocrisy, yes, I guess we can. But if the US does it or the vampire minions that are hijacking the US government at least do it well, then that's different, at least according to the Western press. Meanwhile, These operations are serving another purpose. Remember how we've spoken in the past about how the vampires are running a combined arms operation against the US, its economy, its culture, its national cohesion, all of this kind of good stuff. The whole purpose being to break down the US? Well, outraging everybody else on the planet is part of the program. They are terrified of the notion that anybody outside the borders might have the slightest bit of sympathy or goodwill toward the American people, and they are doing their best to outrage and inflame everybody on the planet against the US and by extension its people and they're probably succeeding despite the fact that people in other countries have long had the ability to distinguish between what a national government does and what its people are like. I think a fair number of people around the planet realize that Americans are nice folk, but are still ticked off because we are just so forgiving and in recent generations so apathetic that we allow the most outrageous stuff to be done in our name. So, you know, the average American would not even consider committing these atrocities at the same time they are being done anyway. And we're paying for them and they're being done in our name. And it's just one more little chip away at the prestige and admiration that the U.S. used to have earned. in the past and has to be disposed of before the vampires make their big move if they do actually make a single notable big move. They may just continue with the frog boiling operations. If we are sufficiently apathetic, that will work too. If they go all butterfingers and lose control of the situation, they may have to do something explicit. I think the risk of something explicit is the reason they are engaging in some of these outrage operations. Do you have a point of view on that one? Oh no, exactly. We're virtually in every stinking pool on the planet right now. The only thing, we haven't had anything really outrageous in Asia. However, we remember we have had the ongoing Orwell 1984 bottom of Japan thing going on. They've got everybody focused to the a piece of dirt in the middle of the ocean that other than the minerals and oil underneath, there's no fresh water and no way to maintain anybody unless it's artificial. So it's oil rigs or else. But beyond that, everywhere else I can pee in the pool, it has been actually just to break the machine. There is an intelligent process. We understand that sociopaths can still be intelligent. But it in no way shape or form benefits us. It's all designed purely for the sake of you know again, bump pumping the machine and benefiting these little minority of characters that are doing all the damage. A lot of it, they aren't even coming up with, I think. I think that they are relying on bright boys and girls that they have hired as minions to come up with these deals. I don't think the Hillarys and the Bobos and the Soros and so on are coming up with a lot of these concepts. I think a lot of their minions, aides, assistants and so on are thinking out some of this stuff. There are just too many secondary plans running for them to have cooked these up themselves. Case in point, there is another piece of blowback that nobody is really paying much attention to. One of the economic arguments is, oh, America does not need to be food self-sufficient. It does not need to be energy self-sufficient. It does not need to be manufacturing self-sufficient. We can rely on imports for all of this stuff because we can pay for it by exporting movies and technology. Well, for many, many years, of course, we have gone along with the game that the Chinese and everybody in Asia and so on and so forth can pirate the movies. The technology is being taken care of in a way that the average character on the street doesn't recognize yet, but is already underway. As a result of the Snowden revelations, not revelations to us, we've been talking about this stuff for years. but to the average person it's not real until it hits the television. Because of the Snowden revelations, larger numbers of people here and abroad are starting to realize that, wait a minute, IT products, computers, software, telecommunications, routers, and so on cannot be trusted if they come from the US. email servers have been attacked by the NSA. They have been ordered to hand over access to absolutely everything, not individual accounts that are suspected of something, but absolutely everything, and likewise ordered to not tell anybody about it and in effect to lie. If you can order somebody to commit what amounts to a criminal act of invading people's communications privacy and you can order them to lie about it, then there is no accountability whatsoever and there is no chain of trust whatsoever because you can't even rely on these people saying, no, we do not do X, Y, and Z. To the best of our knowledge, we are securing your communications and so on and so forth. There have been backdoors and bugs discovered in equipment that we have shipped to other countries. And as a result, most other countries now are on a crash program to find ways to buy telecommunications equipment other than U.S. It's no longer a matter of what's cost effective, what's bleeding edge, what's most efficient or effective. It's what's the best stuff that we can use that's not from the US because if it's a US corporation, if it came from the US, if it's from an organization that's got ties into the US, we can't trust it. Russia is even cycling up a wafer fab plant to produce general purpose CPU chips. This has not been cost effective for them to do that because the Intel and AMD chips are so cost effective and keep pushing the performance boundaries and all that stuff so well. It doesn't pay to do independent development of a complex chip like that. It makes sense to just buy it, especially since most of the balance of a system, the other chips are most of the cost of a computer. However, the central processor is the key enabling technology. They can't trust that there aren't bugs, that there isn't concealed firmware buried in the CPU. So they're working on producing even their own CPU chips. Once they've done that, well, everything else comes from Asia. Everything from the steel boxes to the hard drives to the RAM. all of the connectors, everything else. The only part that the US really has a finger in is the software which they know not to trust and Linux is an available starting point at least for an operating system and the CPU chip which they now know not to trust either. So all around the planet other countries are coming up to speed and working through the learning curve to do without these US products. While the movies have been taken care of long ago because they can be pirated without any consequence, the IT and communications equipment now is losing sales. US corporations are starting to wind that, oh, well, we're losing sales. They're not buying our stuff. You should accommodate us. Well, guess what? They signed on with a vampire regime and they were totally amoral and sociopathic about the whole thing. As long as they were getting greased, as long as they were making a buck, they went along with the program. This is a strength and a weakness of the whole vampire program. I'm sure that the vampires are frustrated that so many of the things they come up with as schemes don't move forward. We would probably be astonished if we ever found a diary of a vampire somewhere listing all of the schemes that they came up with that never went forward because they couldn't find a corporate accomplice to do the work for them. All of the ones that do go forward are those in which a corporation somewhere can be caused to do the dirty work because they can be structured in a fashion where a corporation gets to line its pockets along the way. They have spread Roundup everywhere because Monsanto can make money at it. They haven't spread plutonium everywhere because it would cost them money to do it. But they can do Roundup because there's a profit in it. Same thing with the GMOs. There's a profit in it. There are opportunities for accomplices in the corporate system to make a buck. in the schemes that we have seen move forward and the ones in which no accomplice gets to make a buck. Well, they are not self-financing those schemes. Don't go forward. This has got to be a frustrating thing to the vampires because they have not been able to move nearly as fast, I'm sure, as they would like to. A lot of them are dying of old age and not getting to experience the fruits of their so-called labors. But they're doing plenty of damage anyway and the longer it takes for people to recognize this, the more damage they do. The average person on the street, of course, knows that there's something wrong. They're not yet at the point of recognizing the true nature of the threat. They're still focusing on the minutator saying, oh well, the oil companies are gouging us. They think that it's all being driven by the oil companies. Gee, Monsanto is poisoning us. They think that's all driven by Monsanto. Maybe aspartame is bad. Oh, well, that's all driven by Searle. Well, that's focusing on the trees and missing the forest. All of these things are conceived in a more central fashion as their goal being to break down, poison, corrupt, degrade the system in the US. They are self-financing in that the ones where some corporation, some party, some interest, some politician, whatever can personally profit, those are the ones that move forward. Under cover of that corporation, interest, politician, what have you, if people recognize them and notice them eventually, you have to be comatose to not recognize these things. They can be blamed on the individual corporation, politician, interests, so on and so forth, that is executing them rather than the people that are paving the way and enabling all of this stuff. This is what we could go on for hours throwing out examples, but this is what's underway right now. We're just seeing more and more and more of it. This wave of illegals is the same deal. Some of them are kids, some of them are not. The illegals themselves are just being used, but they are useful. They are accommodated because they are useful and harmful. The vampires couldn't care less about those characters if they starved by the millions somewhere else. The vampires wouldn't care about that unless they were useful in some fashion. They are in fact useful right now to help break down the whole concept of having a border that we control. Now the feds are saying, oh, we need a supplemental almost four billion dollars to cope with. Ninety thousand of them expected this year. Do the arithmetic, that's 40 grand a piece. You think it takes 40 grand to give somebody a bus ticket? I don't think so. This is just more of the same nonsense and we're just advancing all of this stuff. I do have to say that I think this is displaying the characteristic of being end-game tactics. They are getting more overt, more clumsy, more in-your-face. routinely. As such, that's not what you do when you're preparing ground work for 20 years out. That's what you do when you're preparing ground work for two or three years out or maybe six months. So, while they could do anything they want in the timing, I'm of the opinion that they're probably planning on something nasty probably in the next two or three years, something along those lines. And the standard disclaimer applies, BK's sense of timing is the worst on the planet. I would never make it in Wall Street as a stock trader, even when I call things correctly. If the timing is off far enough, that's just as good as being completely wrong. So don't rely on my analysis or opinions of these things, but do recognize the general trend. We are seeing this sort of stuff and it seems to be cycling up in intensity. Do you have anything to add to that one? No, go ahead. All except with regard to the acceleration, it's like you said, it's basically like using a meat cleaver, but with a blunted blade. That's how crude these actions have been. They're not doing as well. They're not doing the finesse with regard to surgery. It's more like, again, a meat cleaver where they've just taken a grinder and flattened the blade down to about an eighth of an inch. It's tapered. So you get about an eighth of an inch, so you're bludgeon your way through whatever you're doing. That's what they're doing right now. Go ahead. Yeah, it's like a lumberjack wailing away with an axe and hitting with the wrong part of the blade, but you know He's in such a frenzy that he doesn't know or care. Okay, early warning for Ed. I'm gonna call for you in about 30 seconds. Early warning in another area. This is mid-July. About a month from now, we will start seeing back-to-school specials. We have noticed those earlier and earlier in calendar. It used to be those things happened in September, then they moved into late August, and then they're amid August, and so on. So it's entirely possible that those may start popping up quicker than we can call your attention to it. So we're going to call your attention to it ahead of time. When you start seeing those back to school specials, that's the time to stock up on things like pencils, reams of paper, all of this kind of stuff. The things that you will need not only for routine bureaucratic management of your resources and so on, but also homeschooling and that sort of stuff. Never underestimate the value of paper, pencils, and a basic stationery until you don't have them. Then all of a sudden it's hard to leave somebody a note and then you notice, gee, we took all that stuff for granted. in the order of three weeks from now, start paying attention and keeping your eyes open. We should expect to see these back to schools. starting up in two or three weeks and when you do uh... you know pounce on those get that get the cheap pencils and this kind of stuff don't don't go for anything that's just labeled back to school special and protect the numbers and make sure they really are offering you a deal and uh... hit those when they appear okay uh... and are you ready if so go ahead okay now we can see a new world every coming into view A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. The new world order does not mean surrendering our national sovereignty or forfeiting our interests. Actually, this is funny. That was not the track that I had in mind and it turns out to actually be a better choice than the one I had in mind. So, happy accident time. I had it cued to only play 17 Little Children and start playing through the whole CD. Consider what you have seen within the last six months on the television. When we were focusing on Syria and our failing attempts to overthrow the regime in Syria, all you ever heard on the corporate press in the US was the phrase, his own people, his own people, his own people, arguing that Assad was supposedly slaughtering his own people when he was resisting our attempts to overthrow him. Have you heard that phrase even once in the context of Ukraine? No. Whereas, in the context of Ukraine, neither we nor any other power, including Russia, is backing the people that are attempting the criminal act of self-determination in the East. In fact, the national forces are explicitly and openly shelling and waging mortar attacks and airstrikes and all that sort of stuff against civil targets, against residential neighborhoods, or blowing the snot out of apartment buildings, killing hundreds of people and maiming, who knows how many, and basically just doing a whole ethnic cleansing operation. Yet you never hear that phrase, his own people, his own people, his own people. So can we say hypocrisy? I knew you could. All right, okay, so let's get back to some of the more traditional topics that we normally handle on the Friday evenings. Oh, before I forget, let's make good on a promise I made. I like occasionally to plug one of our newer programs on LTR and that occurs on Tuesday evenings between the afternoon and evening intelligence reports, depending on where you are in the country. Those are different time zones, but it's always between the afternoon and evening programs. On Tuesdays, listen to Joe from the Carolinas. He runs a program called Grow Your Own, the budding revolution. And people like BK and others with suitably brown thumbs call in. And Joe haplessly offers advice trying to get us up the curve. and operating better would be gardeners and permaculturists. Those of us who are actually not of brown thumb persuasion might actually derive more benefit from that, at the very least entertainment as we attempt to commit gardening with Joe's persistent efforts to assist us in that direction. Tuesday evenings, grow your own The Budding Revolution with Joe from the Carolinas right here on Liberty Tree Radio on all of the various venues that carry us. Recently, in the last couple of weeks, I had an interesting little project start and completed it, which is unusual for all BKI. I'm really good at starting projects and I'm not as good at completing them. A regional delicacy or specialty that we have in this area is the pork steak. It's really just a pork butt sliced at one inch intervals, but it is a regional favorite and routinely goes on sale around the various summer holidays, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, all that kind of good stuff. When 4th of July came up, they had the usual sales. A bunch of these went on sale and I bought something on the order of 20 pounds of pork steak on sale and said, hoo-wee, this is great. And then I went and looked for a freezer space for it and said, I'm a little short on freezer space. Okay, I need to can some of this stuff anyway. So I did this project. I did it in a traditional fashion. Stack all these things in Pyrex dishes and ran them through the oven so that they were cooked. to begin with and that kills off all the bacteria and whatnot. And then did a traditional hot pack canning operation. We've talked about how to do that and there are 1,001 sources on the net. If you do not already know how to do the hot pack canning, there's lots of advice. I'm very conservative about these things so I went with the probably excessive advice to do the whole 75 minutes at 10 pounds for pipe bottles. probably more processing that is truly needed but better safe than sorry is my attitude. At any rate, I stacked these guys all up in the Pyrex dishes, ran them through the oven for good hours, so they were thoroughly cooked before I ever did the hot pack canning and proceeded to can them. There are a couple of things that really struck my, that really caused me to take notice. One is that There was a lot of fat in these and you've got to expect a lot of fat and that doesn't bother me at all. Every last drop of the fat went into the canning operation because when you are operating on reduced calories and so on, the saturated fats are very important to us. We have been told that we should avoid fats at all costs and that's bad advice. We really, really do need those, especially from animal sources. They are calories in extreme form if you are calorie restricted. You really want those. You don't want to waste that stuff. The other thing that was quite shocking is that the Pyrex dishes halfway through the oven baking process became very nearly to the point of overflowing, which is strange. Normally that isn't the case. What happened is that water cooked out of these at a rate that I had never seen before to the point that partway through the process these pork steaks were actually swimming in inch and a half deep pans full of water. So I stacked these guys in the dishes, we baked them and they just melted. Absolutely melted. You would not believe the amount of water that steamed out of these guys along the way. So, while we know that hams, for instance, have routinely been water injected, we can now say that not only are Porkbot and other such products getting to be water injected, but they are injecting it to a degree that I've never seen before. I think that probably at least a third of the weight that you are paying for is now injected water. So that even if you're paying a super duper bargain discount price of a buck and a half a pound and so on, that's pretty expensive if you're paying a buck and a half a pound for water. Excuse me a minute. Even so, those specials are still worth working. And if you do not have the freezer space or if you want some storage that is not dependent upon the electricity, I do recommend using this home canning technology that we all have, if we don't, our grandmas have it, available. The end result of that is that I bought about 20 pounds of this. and packed it all with a little bit of leftovers for nibbling on the spot. Pretty much packed it all into a dozen pint jars. Now that is an astonishing cook down rate and I would say that it's largely because of that injected water. Just be advised that even the routine stuff that we're getting through the channel now is being degraded, stretched, Technically, it's not considered an adulteration, but that much water injected into meat products is a sign of the degradation of the system. The supply channel is breaking down in quiet little ways, and not only shrinking the packages and all the usual stuff that we saw in the past during inflationary periods, but this is a way of stretching out the product. I don't think they've gone back to putting the traditional tactic of putting plaster in the bread to make it way more and so on, but it's a variation of the same thing. Are you aware of this happening elsewhere, or is this any surprise to you at all, Mark? It makes sense because, again, one of the advantages of water injection, and you know it would not be that difficult, especially with the mass production facilities now that are monopolies, it also creates the illusion of volume. which is the most important component people see, you know, physically can see that, well, it looks like it's bigger. I'm getting more. Well, of course, when you cook it down, you find out how much is going to be passed back through the muscle structure itself. One of the things when you're canning like that, now you don't have to evacuate, but if you want to make the container leaner, needless to say, then you focus on the skimming, you know, you go for the fat. and don't process or run the rest of the juice into the container. But remember, for our people that are listening, nothing needs to go to waste in that because when you think about it, you actually pay for broths right now and don't pay a cheap price for them either. So even the broths can be jarred and canned for future work with soups and stews or with even baking where a lot of people are doing work. Just something to think about there. A lot of the, for instance, stuffing mixes. You use the one quart size square broth containers. And so if you're doing beef, if you're doing pork, if you're doing turkey, and this occurs, one of the considerations is to prep a number of other containers and make just a spin-off, a quantity of. just the broth as long as you've got it there and it's already been worked through because it's been, you've got the flavor, you've got the, you know, you can add additional spices if you want to, you can add additional salt if you want to, all the other things that might be required, and mark or just take note of the recipe that you've come up with. Otherwise you treat the broth the same way that you do any of the other products that you're working that day. Right, I actually topped off these with a commercial broth that I happen to have on hand already because I don't want to pack them dry. I want everything to be liquid. There wasn't enough fat to cover everything completely. I would have completely covered everything in fat if they were available, but there wasn't that much. But the baking in the oven stage, I let run all the way until the point that all of that water was boiled off because until such time as the water boils off, the temperature is not going noticeably above boiling point of water and I wanted it to reach proper temperature for sterilizing purposes. We boiled off all of that injected water first before we you know, sliced everything up and packed it in the cans and then I topped it off with a commercial broth. But man, the amount of that was just astonishing. One of the other things to remember is, especially since I don't think we're going to see any different turkey, it's already been a big issue with this last year, not this year, but last year with certain brands. Pay attention and ask around just to see because typically the word gets out. Butterball this last year apparently did a lot of water injection in our area, the one the packing houses they had here, or where we supplied from. And because of that, as Nancy pointed out, this year Butterball had a hard time moving their birds. Interesting, in our area here the sales were down by, well let's put it this way, during the winter season Yeah, you get away with it once and then people realize and you've blown your reputation, huh? Yeah, and even if they did stop doing it, everybody else sold out and the butterballs were the very last thing and most of them didn't sell. In other words, they went through every other brand and the butterballs were good sized turkeys, etc. But there was a lot of conversation and a lot of discussion amongst the people that cooked them and then discussions in different food circles and such. So they burned their bridge on their own. Here we are with a brand that as soon as I say butterball, everybody recognizes it. But right off the bat, I also mentioned at least in the last 12 months, everybody's like, those are terrible. They've got more water than anybody I cooked with last year and it went down to half the size that it was, and that kind of stuff. And I put a turkey in the oven and I pulled a pigeon out and I'm getting it for the chicken. What the hell is this? But it's interesting that you see when they buy from a meat department, people come back and they do respond. They actually are. I didn't like that or they'll actually mention me. You got any more of fill in the blank? So that's another way to spot check is actually go to your chain stores and go to your butcher shops and kind of pay attention to what's going on for a little bit around. You ask a few questions to see what kind of kickback you get. That's just one of the many ways. We can't be everywhere at once and we can take advantage of other people's off-the-wall experience and we can do a follow-up just to confirm it. The big thing is, again, be prepared for having to make up the difference or again, like you just did where you had the broth on hand. When you're doing meat, I like to make them lean as far as dry. Not so much lean as in the fat is there, but we'll pull off all more of the fluid so that we've got more dense material in the can. Well, it's the protein you're really after in the long run, but yeah, you do want to include everything and not let it cook down to a meatier stage. But there's no reason to let them flood your stores with a bunch of expensively sold water. As I said, this is 20 pounds and it only slightly more than filled a dozen pints. The rule of thumb is that it ought to be about a pound more or less because everything in nature is more or less the density of water, a little more, a little bit less. That's the equivalent of a dozen honest pounds of meat that got packed away. Well, the one thing to keep an eye on here too, like we said, spices and such being another issue, either doing it beforehand, if you're going to flavor it, I know I mentioned that, but I should follow up with this. If you're going to spice in advance, know your spices. You can experiment, and or again, if you've got older cookbooks, remember, pay attention, especially the older canning cookbooks. 100 years ago we had a different flavor range with regard to how things were done. You might like some of the older recipes for canning meat. Well, wait a minute, why would I do that? In other words, you're looking at a recipe. Well, remember, there were different ethnic philosophies with regard to food. The German recipes, 100 years ago, the big German influx came in, oh well, 100 and some years ago now. But there was a big German influx and the cuisine, the German cuisine came with the people. You'll find also the same is true with the Italian and there are some phenomenal Italian, older Italian recipes for canning meat. Oh my goodness! I mean just thinking about it, Philomena La Rosa, she's still alive and she's a hundred plus years old and she's about four feet tall. And I'm going to tell you what I was little... She is. She's only four foot one, four foot two guys. Little ones laugh longer sometimes. I don't think there's as much blood pressure from the toes to the nose. A short little Italian woman. Yeah, but a tefillome, La Rosa. And she, years ago when we were in the old neighborhood, they opened up, they were on the front porch and they opened up this Italian, you know, her canned sausage, the way she did it, right? And I'll never forget it because it was in these short pieces. and you could only have one. And it's like, oh great, tease me, right? Because it's like, oh, you know, remember like, you know, snaggle tooth? Oh, oh, oh, it was just, I mean, this was mouth watering. So again, it was traditional, old family recipe. She's from the old country. All of the other recipes that she brought out like that, I mean, just, well, actually they had a restaurant, guys. Just a case in point. They had a family restaurant. Basically, they took their family restaurant menus, they came from home, they came from the old country, from Italy. It's just phenomenal. Again, the spicing, the combination was just fantastic. Again, it may be different from what you expect because a lot of stuff has been mellowed out. They've ratcheted back the dynamic of interactive flavoring like that. One of our friends is pointing out in chat that some of these products you will find a euphemistic item listed in the ingredients, wood flour, which is basically just micro ground sawdust. So be advised, there's nothing the corporates won't do to your food. Ever eat a pine tree? Um, you hool givens. Well, as a matter of fact, you have. That was kind of a tongue in cheek thing that he did when he said that back in the seventies. Yeah, we eat a pine tree. Well, you didn't know it. I've been feeding it to you for years. There's pine nuts and then there's the pine. Yeah, exactly. Well, the thing about this reason, bring this up is because you'll, this is one thing I've noticed even with the recipes in the last couple of years, guys coming out of the cans, they become blander. For whatever reason, it appeased more of the population or because of, again, lack of curiosity or dynamic interest. Orals are just cutting back on pennies. Yeah, the spices cost something. If they can shave half a cent off of it, they'll do it. And that's why, again, look at the older recipes. When you go to yard sales, we just got a, in fact, I just picked up three books, one 1882, and it looks like it was printed maybe only 20 years ago, just pristine. The other one is a small cookbook printed in 1903. And some of the stuff that's in there, I found it has a licorice recipe in it, which is very rare to find in even cookbooks. So I'm going to experiment and do that one, because we have the plants. I'm going to do fresh, as fresh as you could possibly imagine licorice this year. I mean like literally it's going to be coming out of the oven cooling and yum yum yum yum yum and it will be a traditional old earth recipe. You know from the fro again, licorice goes back into the depths of time. It is the oldest of confection candies. Other than maybe flat out sugar. Sugar would be unique all by itself. What can we do with it? It's native to North America and one of the very traditional items. In fact, that's another thing with some of the stuff that we're canning. Honey traditionally was added. That's another thing. Modern cooks will tell you that their secret is sugar. But anybody who knows the old formulas, remember, well, where did we get most of our sugar from? Maple products and or B. Honey, of course, changes very much the dynamic of both the flavor and nutritional value. Remember, you're not adding bad calories or a hyper-processed product. Even cane sugar is a health improvement compared to the high fructose corn syrup. Even that, not being very good for you is still better for you than the high fructose corn syrup. Okay, quickly before we run out of time, Powder Valley Inc. has BLC2. Now BLC2 at $19.40 is not bad by current standards. That is a good choice for .308. If you use BLC2 on your .308, that will take some pressure off of the other powders. You can run higher and lower. with the more versatile powders. So, BLC2 is available at $19.40 a pound from Powder Valley Inc. It is also available at a higher price but available at North Arkansas Guns, that is N-A-R-K Guns dot com. They're advertising both H-335, which is a really versatile medium speed powder, and BLC2, which is also versatile a little bit slower but they're highly overlapping in their middle range. Those are at $30 a pound, so it's not such a tasty price but they at least are advertising availability of them. That one is North Arkansas Guns N-A-R-K Guns dot com and Widdeners has some of the reloader they have reloader 15, 17 and 19. Now the 17 is getting kind of slow that's similar to 4350 the 19 is really slow but the 15 is not bad 15 is a mid-range mid-speed powder and that's at $22.45, a lot better than $30 a pound. But we're still looking at one pound here and one pound there. So, powder seems to continue to be the pinch off item, the choke point that they've decided to restrict us at. 3031 is available at Widners. That's an excellent powder for the 3030s. Once again, you use that specialty powder for the 3030s and very, very similar to take pressure off of the other calibers faster or slower. Do some thinking about what you have, what's versatile, which things are multi-purpose and which things are special purpose. Also, Lever Revolution is a very specialized powder. That one also is useful for 30-30 and a very small number of other calibers that are somewhat similar. That's available at Powder Valley, Inc. for 144 for an 8 pound. It's also available at Winders at $22 for a 1 pound. So Lever Revolution is not a very versatile powder, but if you are feeding 30-30 or very similar, you can use that for the 30-30 and use it to relieve pressure on your other calibers so that something that you have that is more versatile, you can shove off to the side for up to the .308 or down to the .223. So those are available options right now. Widners is also advertising Alliance Steel at 1845. Now that is a very specialized powder intended for steel shot, shot shells, which means it's not only fast shot shell stuff is, but even faster than that because the steel shot is less dense than the lead shot. You might be able to adapt that for some of the pistol purposes. You would have to experiment. I do not have data on it, but it's a Positivility Alliance deal, 1845 at Widners. So, those are available options nowadays. And let's not forget today is the day that Aaron Byrd did the country a favor and shot Alexander Hamilton. I had the hurt of injury game. You were just commenting on there a moment ago in one of the postings in the chat room, I think. Everybody out there listening, right? We're at the end of the week, but not for everybody on the business end of what's got to be taken care of out there. If you're going to be training, watch your eyes and ears. If you're going to be out on the range, pay attention. If you're going to be deploying, take 100 pounds of food of all types with you. God bless the republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We and our canning pods are on the march of those day and nights. Thank you sir, we're all work on, for now it's taken back over live with the E3 Radio. Here, it's Friday. Bye bye. Welcome back to the Cat Show. Up next we have Nico. Nico is a member of their Shelter Pet group. That's right. A group known especially for their sunspot sleeping, ball chasing, leg rubbing, and of course companionship. Just look how she struts. This actually owns the place. And see how she curls up and cuddles her person. The pitch on her purring is simply perfect. Nice one. Fantastic cat. But really the best way to know an amazing shelter pet like Nico is to meet one.
