Summary
Mark Koernke discussed rifle maintenance and sourcing, specifically addressing an Arasaka rifle feeding problem and recommending reversing the magazine follower spring as a potential fix. He then pivoted to tactical gear procurement, promoting affordable surplus and knockoff military equipment from vendors like RAP4, Airsoft Club, and Gov Liquidation to outfit militia units economically. The show concluded with discussion of border security and National Guard deployment strategies within Texas state boundaries.

Live 365. All countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom 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 in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is to still the land of the free and good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon in Oh, we gotta play that at the bottom of the hour. We played it all the way through. You know that's one of the three favorite, well there's all the songs from Brother Where Art Thou Are Cool to begin with number one guys. If you haven't listened to the soundtrack, if you watched the movie, to be quite honest, when that movie came out there were a ton of people who were of course trying to match up with the original releases, etc. So there are many, many, many variations out there. But if you haven't listened to the soundtrack, take time and grab it because there's some great gospel music in there. Traditional Americana in the Ridge Runner format that is well true truly american anyway good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is second are the afternoon intelligence report of our quirky one-day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on behind the lines of occupied territories west central east and south ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. Our name and FMI, station CBB, stations, ultimate 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, cause the aragulable from Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, picture in the Nebraska, which Wyoming to include both 3rd and 5th pit, 12 sisters on the left side of the state, waving to the left part of the country of the great state of Jefferson. Turn back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the emerging banks of Mississippi. And land on the smoky side of the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crew's grandma team's okay teams and the Maville Grandma Consortium are retired telecommunications workers. Bring us! the Golden Spike! Today's date? No way! Yes it is. It's the 24th of July. We are headed towards August, kids. So y'all better be getting busy doing whatever you can do. It is the 24th of July, 6th year of open-pabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2014 older calendar or Mayan crazy town and Nostradamus do. What a combination that would be. The Mayan calendar reinforces Nostradamus! Well, of course it is. You've got 6,000 different calendars to choose from, and between that and the roll of the dice, you can make it stick to anything Nostradamus BS. My God, you might as well roll over in the corner, blow your brains out, and eviscerate yourself with a three-cut super-coo slash. And by the way, don't forget to take potassium ferocyanide while dropping into a bathtub full of, you know, in your bathroom. A bathtub full of hydrochloric acid. There, that's dead. how that's not the world and all because you listen to some not case who was being in his key then driven boiling up really good drinking it and while he was on a little psychedelic experience don't forget a little pinch of opium always helps get that along why you name it he wrote it and you can you can make it stick to any daytime place you want no stardomus that we're doing uh... Anyway, it is Thursday. It's a beautiful day here in Michigan, though a little cool is going to get cool tonight. Again, just warn everybody there. We still have our caller with us? Yes, that's still here, Martin. There we go. Okay, now, well, we had a little bit of entertainment and a bigger break for the top of the hour. Also, remember, praise Lord, pass the ammunition and we'll send the enemy straight to hell. Okay, don't forget that one. Let's see real quick. Next, Arasaka. We were talking about the Arasaka rifle. Go ahead and explain to everybody what the problem was. And it was failing to feed after the first round. After the first round extraction, it fails to break up the next round. Now, two things can happen, though it varies depending on the model. If it's not gunked up and he's taking the time to disassemble properly and clean everything meticulously, The follower spring could be tired. Like I said, war production, especially 43 on, they were cranking stuff out from all over the empire. But Japan itself was under siege by that. By late 43, early 44, they were starting to feel the heat for lack of imports because their shipping was being sunk by our submarines as much as anything. We did to them with U-boats like Germany did with England. As it is, the other consideration, if the part isn't, you know, the part easily enough can be changed out. But before he does that, try this. Take and reverse the follower spring the way that it rests in the fixture. Now, the follower itself slides in at the top. Now, some are beveled, so it can only go one way. But the majority, the lion's share, especially late production or even cruder and ruder, they're straight and the follower could be reversed. Now if the follower is reversed, it's going to apply pressure incorrectly against the follower if the spring is reversed. It will impress, or in other words, it will move the follower in a reverse fashion with regard to how it applies pressure, and it will not introduce that next round at the base of the case up to where it can be picked up by the bolt face. So I would try that first, simply out of policy. See if it can be reversed depending on the model. Have you seen this rifle? I'm not having it. Their pre-war production is very high quality, very high finish, tooling marks don't exist on the guns. The sights are flawless. In fact, the sights typically also have a couple of pickle fork rails left and right of the primary slide sight. And that was so that the weapon could actually apply an air defense sight to the gun. So every man had the ability to shoot at aircraft. Actually, it had an anti-aircraft sight. That was one of the first things that disappeared on the later war production as they went into World War II with us. But the adjustable sight was still there in place and fit and finish was pretty consistent even into 42. Now, overlapping 42 to 43 is where things started to change. And one of the things they tried to do is figure out where they could cut back. If it's an earlier or mid rifle, then there are very specific things to watch for and you want to make sure your parts are lined up correctly when you replace them. Late war production, the first thing that's a dead giveaway is if the rifle has a machined peep sight on the receiver. If it has a machined peep sight and there's no slide rail rear, then that's late war production and that's probably metallurgy. It's probably an issue with the, it could be an issue with just the spring itself being just tired to begin with. It would work well enough, but over the years with use and wear and just because it's a lower grade metal, that can be a problem. www.gunpartscorp.com Sarc0 would be the other, e-sarc0inc.com. But before I do that, I would take the time and sit down with him and carefully disassemble. I always use the right screw drivers to move the threaded stock. Remind him when he puts it back together, do a little light oiling on all the threaded stock because that rifle is more than half a century old. That's an air socket. It's like my Springfield or anything else. You're going to be doing maintenance on. You always want to make sure before you put it back together, inspect everything, but lubricate everything a little bit. Take a plastic brush, clean everything up to make sure there's no gunk and junk on it. He said he already looked at the spring. I take a look at that anyway. A lot of times people see it's a matter of interpretation. If he had completely broke the weapon down, That's one thing, but a lot of guys, I've even talked to people and I've bought rifles, like 22s, I bought rifles for $25 all day. I asked the person, are you sure you cleaned this? I mean, it doesn't work for me, I've cleaned it. Well, of course, then you open it up and, well, he put a swab inside the chamber, Eric, it may be a little bit, and never broke the weapon down and cleaned it. When I opened it up, it's got a nice, perfect, like a brand new finish of park rising on the inside. What is it? That's the carbon uniformly laying all over the inside of the weapon. I'm not saying he's like that with a gun, but a lot of people, what they'll do is they'll push down on the follower spring and clean out the magazine well. Depending on when this rifle came in the country, if it's an import by a contractor, remember that the Pacific is a misery for moisture, and so all of those armies learned years ago to grease the living snot out of every weapon they've got. And that's typically how you'll find the Arasakas, but not every Schmidt Ruben, if you notice the old used Schmidt Rubens that have been coming out, or those first Nagats that everybody was buying. Remember when they first came into the country? Guys, remember how greased up they were? And how there was grease everywhere? I mean, bare grease. Talking like industrial grease like you caught a car with. Okay, that's what they were using and it was on everything. It was lumped up inside and there was a reason. They didn't want the gun to rust inside the stocks. So a lot of times people didn't disassemble and they just cleaned them off on the outside but they didn't take the action out of the stock. They didn't even take the trigger group assembly out and then clean out the inside. But when the companies do this, when the units do this, the Army units do this, they want to keep these in storage. The government, our government, we have a whole program for long-term storage where we have a machine, we used to have a machine that processed the guns the whole nine yards. But overseas it's all manhandling. It's all done by people with big vats of grease. Sometimes what they do is heat the grease up or the cosmoine up. That's what traditionally we did. And you dip the whole thing in it on the inside and then you put it all back together while it's still kind of warm and dip it again. And that's how a lot of these things came into the U.S. And the Arasaka's are no different. The other thing to watch for is if the chrysanthemum is ground, That's an indication, although certainly they did that to a lot of them when they had to surrender at the end of the war, but when they sold a bunch of these Arasaka's, they ground down with Chrysanthemum and they were brought in. Usually they'll be stamped somewhere too. That's what you want to watch for. And so if that's an indicator, there's probably some grease and gunk, number one. If it hasn't been broken down, if it has been broken down, then I check to see how that spring is attitudeed inside the magazine well. And if that still works, it doesn't work. In other words, take some cartridges and experiment. Be careful. If it does deal with the problem by reversing how the spring sits, just reverse it the opposite direction. That means you'll apply pressure to the base of the follower where it needs to be towards the base of the case, back to the rear where the safety is. And it'll uniformly allow for a feed because then the bullet will slide forward, attach to the ramp, and then follow into the chamber. It's a big problem. Air soccer has been on a long time too, a long top of everything else. Somebody just could have had a lot of fun with it and needs to have some care and then some parturably. From the way he described it, he said it was in real primo condition and I think he got it from his father. Oh, well, it made a battlefield pickup. Again, number one, I wouldn't sell it. A lot of guys brought it back. Some of our guys brought back a whole lot of stuff from each war and World War II is no different. You couldn't drag that thing away from them with a tractor and a tow chain. He said it was real accurate. They are, they are tech drivers. They killed a whole lot of us with those rifles. Everybody needs to remember that. Everybody goes, well that's just an Arasaka. Really? Well I'll tell you what, that just Arasaka rifle, why don't you go out there and stand on the well house and I'll shoot you with it five times and we'll see how dead you are. You don't want to meet that. I'll bet you I'll kill you dead, dead, dead. With the 6.5, Jap or the 7.7, both will kill you dead, dead, dead. Now, one of the companies to check, does he have a bayonet for this? I don't think so. Now, they've been bringing these in and this company is Atlantic Cutlery Corp. but it's at atatlanticcutlery.com. They're the ones that have all these martini rifles and stuff they've been bringing in from Tibet. and they have a you gotta check with them but they've been bringing bandits and their original but they may have the you know the the markers defaced that's not a big deal but they've actually been bringing him for pretty good price now a lot of the other the air soccer bandits old you know command a big chunk of change which again is why a lot of people shy away from while they can eat a band at but check with this company every once in a while see what they have you give a call phone numbers one eight hundred eight eight eight 1-800-883-0300 and the web page is atlantacutlery.com. They are the ones that have these martini rifles. I know several people that bought them and they are quite reasonably priced for a single action drop block martini. You know a pivot block martini henry like you saw in zulu the movie zulu Okay, and they actually have the their beaters that need to be clean you see untouched martini henry 450.5 7 7 short lever m 1878 infantry rifle no papers. There's no paperwork on these. These are pre 1898 $179 a rifle Wow So, for a rifle to put on the wall if nothing else, if you're looking for a nice antique but it can be shot if you work at it, they cleaned up a bunch of these and they charge a lot more for the ones that they've dressed and cleaned. But take a look at what they have left. I don't know how many of these they have left because they actually were moving for a while there. They also have examples of the P1841 early model Brunswick officers rifle. Let's see, the P1864 Schneider Breachloader. Now, that one I was thinking years ago back when the Civil War reenactor era was big in the 60s, Schneider rifles were actually quite cheap. That was one of the rifles my brother told me I should buy when I was really, really young because he didn't require any paperwork, guys. They still don't. They are pre-1898, they are non-firearms for all practical purposes. But the Schneider is to the British weapons industry what the trapdoor Springfield was to the US Army during the same era. The Schneider, instead of being a flip bolt like we have on the 45-70 trapdoor, is a side gate. It's a side door. It opens from the top, drop it to the side, load the cartridge, drop the bolt back in place, and cup hop. In other words, it was another one of those, like the Springfield, it was a solution to take an existing rifle and make a service rifle, a cartridge service rifle, out of a muzzleloader. Now, these are muzzle loading guns in many cases. There's all kinds of stuff they brought in. There's a whole story to this thing too. They went up and they found these things. There were a series of literally castles and apparently the warlord there, every time that he bought weapons, he never got rid of the old ones. They took him down into the dungeon and they used a material that in reality was actually a step above cosmoline. This guy started back in the 1800s doing this. Every time they got a new batch of rifles and he bought new weapons for his army, they stacked the old ones in the dungeons. Literally, there were tens, if not hundreds of thousands of weapons that were stacked like cordwood from the Civil War era all the way up to World War II. Max and machine guns, Vickers guns, Lewis guns, cannons, cartridge artillery, but he never threw away even the muzzle loaders and everything else that they had and the early cartridge guns all went into the dungeons like these Martini Henrys did. It's great to get the catalog if nothing else is great reference. But for a lot of people, if you're looking at a little to add to your collection and you're into a certain era, then these are still not badly priced. But they're not cheap anymore by comparison. These aren't $80 rifles like they would have been decades ago. or 60 or 15 or 20 dollar rifles depending on what era you're looking at. But the best price of the bunch is $179. They're untouched. When you clean it up, maybe it would be a research weapon, but it might also be an interesting, again, nothing else. It's a really unique wall hanger for the price, which you won't see anymore. This is one of the last of those odd man out guns that is, you know, they're just not built. The other thing is, no FFL. So is it Mr. Dolby rifle? 450-577 is available, but you can also build it from other brass, from other big bore brass. And that would make a nice single placement iron sight rifle where you shoot them through three neighborhoods and you don't walk away. In fact, if you do it right and load it right, it would be, and you'd take about a 500 grain bullet, put it down range into somebody's leg and watch your leg fall off. That's seriously 500 grain bullet, you know going a freight train, but subsonic. There you go. Give a shout out to your mother 45, 70. Oh my goodness, you know, so. I'm gonna back out and let somebody else in. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. God bless you. Keep up the good work. I'll be back. Thank you. By the way, let us know how that turns out because the first thing I would try, like I said, is find about reversing the spring. If not, sarco and gun parts corporate are your best choice. Okay, okay. Oh, you have bus data. Thank you, sir. And of course we had a little extra ear candy candy at the beginning of the hour I don't know if it's gonna give us another bottom of the hour music break Maybe we got something else from brother where art thou? She'd be kind of fun. I know it might might be listening there So if not, don't worry, we've got lots of other Patriot music a bottom of the hour break song would be nice hit hit hit Meanwhile, again for everybody out there, I got to remind everybody this hour for the archives guys. We are looking at trying to finish the end of the year bill for Liberty Tree Radio. This is our operating expense. It's once a year. We have to do this every year. We're transparent. Unlike the federal government and that skank in the outhouse who's in the O'Fell office in the outhouse in Pennsylvania Avenue. in the district of criminals were actually quite transparent there the bill is right there for you to see on the page our goal uh... we also show you how much has been donated where we are what we've achieved and the the idea behind this is that it's a simple one-time bill we actually cut the cost down by fifty percent by doing this there's something taken into consideration So, again, that makes a big difference in and of itself. A couple other things. Again, Airsoft Club, one of the guys posted in the chat room there, and pulled it up here. Airsoft Club, the ATAC's clothing guys. ATAC's knockoffs. They've got Velcro, Patch, Baseball Caps in the ATAC's camouflage, in the green range. for $3.99. Now that's a good buy for a utility camouflage baseball cap that is in a pattern that is the latest and greatest solution coming out that's now in service. It doesn't have to be name brand. I'm sorry because most all this stuff is still being made pretty much the same place, China Sport. So you get the China Sport knockoff, no one will know the difference or ask, are you wearing Chinese? Well, yeah, just like you are but yours is paid for with US tax dollars. Oops. Yeah anyway If you check them out, I actually haven't a chance to check to see what this company has in the way of clearance and close outs They might have a section like that and if they do Be a real good idea to go to see what they have their kids But right now again, this is at let's get the station right here. First of all airsoft-club.com airsoft-club.com and then the item number is AS5939. Now this is the green ASAT range, at least the one they're showing. You may offer the other colors because there are a couple other shades. But it looks like, I don't see a color option, so it looks like it's in the green by all indication. It's the ATACS-FG camo. and size standard velcro back so one size fits most beans unless you really got a large head. We'll add another piece of velcro and stretch it out farther to make it fit I guess. But velcro backed and fully adjustable $4 or in other words $3.99. This is in the ATACS FG Camo baseball cap with velcro fixture front so you can put whatever unit patch you want up there. And the item number is AS59. again that's AS5939. Now I'm looking while I'm doing this and see if I can find, well they got night vision devices and night vision accessories but they have specials and I love specials because you just never know what you're going to find in the special section. Hopefully clothing, maybe some gear. Oh and I was right! All well prices are up and down here though but not too bad on certain things. Matter of fact They do have some pretty good buys on the camouflage backpacks guys for those of you who are listening. Tactical Utility MOLLE 3 liter Hydration Water Backpacks, $16.10 pack which is not bad. So there is something that is taking into consideration. Another thing they have, OTV Body Armor Carrier Tactical Vests. 3750 see I always go to the specials and sales and markdown and hopefully it's calling going out cheaper than ever before and If it is that's where I would be grabbing what I need tactical utility gear shoulder sling bag multi cam $10.50. Oh, that's the cheapest multi cam. I know I've seen yet Considering they want to go Jorm and a leg for multi cam. So Again, a number of different. Oh, we're down the bottom here. Here we go But $20 vest guys again. Are they really fancy? No, are they serviceable? Yeah, and they've got them in coyote brown There's also a number of pages go to the special section too numerous to mention I don't have time on the air to cover all of these But if you are looking for a solution Now I will say this they've got a BU camouflage in the markdown section now a BU is the Air Force tiger stripe if you haven't seen it I like it. The problem is it's either A, not available, or B, so stinking expensive ain't no way in hell I'm going to spend that kind of money on it. But if you can find it in a markdown section, or if you can find it in a special section, then it's worth perhaps picking up or worth looking at. So check these out. And again, I'll give you the website here in a second. But you want to go to their special section. As a matter of fact, uh-oh, I've got everybody here with the whole cat pack trying to help me do the program. And they're crawling up my leg. Okay, there we go. I'm not being assaulted on the leg muscles there anymore. Less claw marks. Anyway, let's do it this way. Go to www.airsoft-club.com. And I don't have my notepad right here because I do not want to lose this page myself. So I'm going to do this while we're doing this on the air. And again, that is. The reason I'm saying guys, check the specials out there, there are some actually pretty good prices there. You have to shop around. But we're looking at airsoftwww.airsoftclub.com. And again, they had a couple of decent prices on the headgear already, they can see. Trust me, those hats will look just as good on you in the field as they would for any Aerosoft operation. But go to the specials section, scroll through everything. Now pay attention, not everything is the best price, but a lot of MOLLE gear for a reasonable price. It matches up with all the rest of the Molly junk that's out there. Again, Molly is a drug on the market right now. This is the time to take advantage of this. So when you've got Molly Woodland in four different, five different, 10 different places, and if you've got Molly Three Colored Desert, if you shop around, you could put a whole kit together for a penny as compared to what it was when it came out as the Invogue way to go. The same is going to be true for other stuff that right now we're slavering over and going, man, I need that. Well, be patient right now. Go with the Woodland. Go with the other patterns because you can dress yourself out uniform and complete top to bottom. Look really kick butt squared away. and you're not out a whole lot of cash to get it done. And that's something you really need to be thinking about is how many troops can I outfit? Or if I save money in one area, how much can I do with what I saved? Well, probably arm yourself up that much better and fill up those empty mag pouches with the magazines with the money you saved. Yeah, that would be kind of nice, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would. So it's something to think about, and it's a solution. Also again, they do a pretty good job with this page. of breaking down the carrier systems and what you get so you can visualize what you're looking at there. Again, one of the packages they have here, the OTV Body Armor Carrier Tactical Vest Camo Woodland, $37.50. And you know what? It's Woodland Camo, $37.50. multiple pockets built for the AR-15. I don't know if they're doing M14 or M1A or HK, you know, mag pouches, they probably do, but if not, you can find them laying around. So take the time to go through the page, check it out. I don't see a clearance. I see the specials section, but I don't see a clearance section. It's not bothering me that maybe they're a solution. New products, featured products, all products. Well, that doesn't help me in any way. I'm looking real quick and we'll get off to another subject here. And needless to say, airsoft guns always look for derelicts. If they have airsoft guns, sometimes they have special, oh they got claymores, that's cool. Anyway, if they have guns, they may have also a boneyard. If they have a boneyard, If you're looking for training aids, at least for basic weapons familiarization to help people understand and to handle weapons, it's nice to have something broken that can't actually work at all, but it's the correct weight, it's the correct size, so muscle memory and everything else can be applied to the program. See how that works? So again, a solution, not just complaining about the problem, what do I do? Well, it's real simple, we mildew. Oh, did I say that? So anyway, let's see, I don't see anything else. Again, airsoft-club.com. Check out their clothing and gear. Apparently we've got some pretty good sales going on because they've got to clear some of the shelves. Not just the original location I was talking about, but that's wrap4.com. $20 a vest there. There are also some pretty good buys here with airsoft-club.com. I don't care which direction you go. The idea behind this is that we can get more people outfitted in the field in advance, ready for what's going on, and keep them there when the time comes. Hey, they've got Airsoft, multiple triple mag. Caudie Brown and their $5 a pouch or three pocket system. So there's another solution. And as far as this stuff working, guys, we've already beat this knot out of these things and they hold up just as well as anything else that's out there. Look at it this way. When you get it for like almost giveaway, you can have 20 of them. And if one wears out, switch out to the other one. But for a lot of people that are going to show up, they don't have anything anyway. They're going to need everything top to bottom. This is a way to have the gear squared away to put them in the field without any complications. How's that sound? Oh, otherwise, wait a minute. They have the Air Force and they have the Black Bear Rampage masks also. Interesting. And they have them cheap by comparison. Ah. The very least, that's better than a ski mask, as far as I'm concerned. But that's just me. And they have them in Woodland. And they have, oh, Italian camel. They got them in vegetato. Very cool. Anyway, I'm shopping here and I shouldn't be because we're on the air. Anyway, we're getting away from that and on to one other subject before we go any farther this evening. It is Thursday and Don should be with us. Of course, we have also BC coming up from 7 to 8 o'clock. You're not going to touch that dial because we've got more live broadcasting. When we're done, we're not finished yet though. As it is, let's see, back to... Hey, Mark. Oh, go ahead, caller. Jump in there. Hey, I just wanted to say you were talking about them rap4.com vests and those are very, very well constructed. It's a great price and I appreciate you listing it again for us. They're made out of a really, really tight Cordura. The pockets can store armor plates and everything else. They're excellent, excellent value. Of course, you were mentioning about the fundraising drive. The money you've saved, folks, if you're not dumping them into extra mags, you could always pass it on to the network every go that idea well i appreciate that thank you yes sir thank you very much and i keep up the great work excellent and again guys were trying to i'm trying to come up with solutions because we've got a lot of groups i've had a lot of messages they have been given the task of organizing this I don't need to say anymore because it's all over the country right now. Everybody has pretty well had enough. The pissing in the pool with this thing with the border has finished a lot of people. Some people are just like I said, I've got to go out in the woods and I'm going to do a video and rant. I want to say thanks to Eric for sending a one to me from one of the guys down there in Arkansas. Actually, he sent everybody. It wasn't just me. The idea is that people are just finished. We're not going to put up with it. It's obvious they need to be shot out of the seat that they're in and they need to be done away with their plaintiffs. They tried to play us with Syria. They couldn't get us in there, so they attacked their newly made Israeli terrorist organization, ISIS, which is completely sponsored to run by the Israeli mob. Let me ask you something. If those were Muslims and the West Bank was being attacked, shouldn't ISIS be attacking the Israelis from the east right now? Everybody get that? If supposedly the whole thing with the ISIS, they were really a Muslim organization, the Palestinians are being attacked right now, the Gaza Strip. Wouldn't the ISIS, which has all kinds of new equipment, all kinds of weapons, wouldn't they be attacking the Israelis right now? I mean they do have all kinds of cool toys that they just got hold of including a whole pile of stuff from the Iraqi military which driving down the road and heading over to the other end of the battlefield ain't a big deal. Think about it. Yeah, we're not supposed to think about that. Then to Ukraine, hey, we had the Operation Northwood plane exchange. There are so many ways they're trying to muddy the water on that, guys. Well, it turns out there was a plane on the radar. Our second plane was there. And maybe another one, in other words, they're trying to confuse the issue with what we originally talked about. Read Operation Northwood. Operation Northwood. They virtually played it word for word and since a lot of the professionals have been talking about what happened like the air traffic controllers, Guys, the BS about their being a fighter, I don't even think that was the case. I believe that that's all trying to CYA because it's coming out in the wash what's really going on because now everybody's acknowledging it. Of course, the Russians, all they had to do was say, hey, this is the 21st century. Here's what we got on satellite. Here's what we got on radar. Here's what we have on...now America can let us all know what they've got, right? Well, we got tweets and some other stuff that we had our trolls do on Facebook Yeah, see how that works This is the 21st century and the superpower on this side of the water Spends two trillion dollars a year spying on America and the world, you know We got a whole rat organization a whole bunch of rats. That's all they do and you're telling me that the best we could do was a Twitter and Facebook oh wow, that's I guess we should save $2 trillion and cut the money off to them. They could operate off their black-bot budget for that stuff. I mean, come on, you could have two or three teenagers over in Utah, you know, shut off all the power and do some tweets and some Facebook every once in a while and do some more trolling. What the hell? And then we got the border down in the south. So as I said before, most important is guys pile up the gear, make it consistent so your men all know how to use it. One of the advantages of being able to buy a quantity of the same piece of equipment, if I have you trained, let's say that I take 10 men and I train them the way I want to train them, and I'm able to pile up that replacement gear, if and when something does wear out, I'm not going to cry about it, and I'm also not going to throw out what wears out, because there's people out there that have absolutely nothing. They take what you wear out, and they'll run that puppy another 100 miles. They'll fix it. In prison, guys, no pair of tennis shoes ever die. I am butt cold serious about this. Let me explain to you. A pair of tennis shoes never die. I needed a pair of walking shoes. You know what you do? You put it out on the block, out on the prison block, you need a pair of shoes. Then somebody says, hey Fred's got a used pair that he's paying, he'll patch it up. Well Fred and Otto and Yosim and a couple of the guys, they're cobblers behind the wire. What are their tools? Sewing kits, the real cheapie dollar store sewing kits that you see. Dental floss. and scavenged parts from other tennis shoes that really, really were so bad that they're like on their last, last, last, last leg and they don't even get thrown out. They get piecemeal to rebuild other tennis shoes. So instead of paying 20, 30 or 40 dollars which you don't want to waste in the shop buying from the store because you have to wait and order them, instead you either watch for a sale where they're finally 8 or 9 dollars there which is very rare, you'll find the size you want. or B, you buy a pair off the block and you spend between 6 and 10 and maybe $12 but you get a pair of shoes that there's no paperwork on, you didn't have to wait. They're all fixed up, they've been polished, cleaned, whatever necessary. And when you're done with them, you either give them away to someone or you sell them back to the cobbler for a couple bags of potato chips and they turn around and they sell them again. It's a real shoe division. Now that's how your equipment situation works in the long run when you're scavenging. You are not going to throw anything away. Now think about this. If you put a platoon together, and right now one group looks like they've got about 40 men that got an outfit right now. Well, all woodland camouflage, all woodland whatever you can get. I can get rip stop, woodland camouflage, size medium to size 3X, in shirts, brand new, unissued, $5 from the wholesalers. Now I probably could do an even better price if I could get hold of some junk bins where somebody's tossing stuff out. Pants are more expensive than shirts, but anywhere from $6 to $10 for brand new, unissued, woodwind camouflage, military issue clothing in pants. Field jackets, $12. Don't even have to guess on that. Size large to size 3X. So, in other words, rather than buying or having to worry about guys not being able to fit them out, you're talking the cost plus shipping. But we have to do bulk and we have to do multiples. Headgear, I'm going to tell you the airsoft places are as good a place to go for headgear price-wise because there isn't any good surplus gear out there for a reasonable price. Not for 50 cents or a dollar an item like they used to be, and that's where they should be at the wholesale end. But they're not. So that's why I pointed out like these baseball caps, they're in the new ATACS camouflage, the guys just pointed about from the chat room there. They work. But I prefer to match up the camo so my woodland all matches. So if you watch, you'll find surplus helmet covers for $0.99, woodland camo. You will find all the MOLLE web gear right now, woodland camo, drug on the market. You can get it in five furs and ten furs. You can go to RAP4, like we were talking about, or airsoft-club.com. and woodland camo in the brand new items, $20 a piece, $1 or $2 or $3 an item for pouches. Well, I can put a pretty darn good looking group of troopers into the field with either new or like new equipment that is excellent, made out of cordura, well built, as good as anything any other army is wearing in the field right now. And I can put a soldier in the field and have multiples for what most people are going to pay for one set of clothes. I can have four or five change outs for what you're going to pay for one set of clothes if you help buy new from a typical source. Now that's the difference. Your men can actually stay dressed. But here's the cool thing. If I get multiples of those vests, when my gear does get tired, I do not have to figure out how the new system works because I can pull off the shelf the exact same vest ready to go that I've been fighting in for the last year or two years. I can take that vest, switch all my gear over, and my muscle memory is identical. Nothing to new learn, no mistakes to make that could get you killed because everything that I've used is right there the way I used it. You see the advantage in that? Have you ever done this automatically where you've been working with something for years and you change out to something and your hand automatically goes, you're in the middle of a task. And your hand goes to where you expect that tool to be, but it's not there anymore. Now, in a workplace situation, provided it's not something urgent, like you're doing something, I'd be really life threatening to be deadly, but in a workplace, that's one thing. In a battlefield situation, that's another. Time counts for everything. Seconds can mean life or death. So consider that. Think about it. And again, $20 a vest or $15 or $18 for these items. It's not throwaway, but it sure as hell is almost gimme price. Now I should tell you something about what they're paying the communist slaves over there when they're offering these to you for this price. Because what they're trying to do is get their revenue built back up so that they can go buy a big pile of China Sport again and put it on the shelf. And it's all the latest product that they wanted to have there. That's how companies do things nowadays. So again, take advantage of it. Take advantage of it. Woodland, for a lot of you that are most of the green areas, because you could look squared away, all your stuff would be woodland. If you want to go high end, because you might have some sugar daddy and you've got a bunch of money, pick a pattern, but commit to it. Guys, everybody warships all this BS video game type stuff where you've got to have all of everything exactly the same or otherwise you're irregular. Now you're going to see me. I'm going to be irregular in the field. But there is a point where I understand that again, Esprit de Cour is part of organization. You want your men squared away. You want everybody squared away. You need to have a trunk. If you're going to set up a unit and you're going to start adding people to the unit, somebody comes in to visit. You don't have them running around in blue jeans and red shirts. Anybody that participates, anybody that comes even to observe, you want to show them that you are prepared in the field. So what you do is you take a big foot locker and what you do is throw five of everything in the way of assault gear, the same stuff you're using. Whatever you can find, or for that matter just basic web gear, but it's all the same kit. It's all put together and it's all ready to go. You also put 20, 30 sets of uniforms in there. Put a pile of booney caps or baseball caps, all the same model. And when you're done, when somebody shows up and they got that pair of blue jeans on and that red t-shirt, that disappears. There's another reason. Take a look at all these videos that are out there. Just a little bit of thinking, a little bit more effort, and it's 100% tactical. You need to get people conditioned and disciplined to this. Now, I appreciate everybody showing up, and I'm not going to complain about anybody and how they show up. except to remind them that we're in a tactical situation. Here's what you do for the girls and guys that show up that are coming to visit. Remind them that we're in a tactical situation and rather than showing up in blue jeans and t-shirts that are commercial colors, they've probably got some green pants, OD green pants out there that are Bushwhacker or Navy or Google Boy or whatever. Tell them to put some green pants on and wear a green sweater or shirt or blouse or whatever. Look tactical coming out you help us out that way and by the way if you got any dark shoes or black boots or black shoes wear those please Otherwise again be prepared with a few pairs of cheapy jungle boots I don't know those are hard and hell to find now But you want some average size footwear that you can put on the people and square them away That's the most expensive item. We're talking about here everything else is over-the-counter fairly, you know reasonably priced easy to access, okay? Again, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. For our friends out in those states that are listening, and I know they are because they already sent me a bunch of little pings while we were here on the air, and yes, I'm going to get back with you. But the idea behind this is I don't want to be the middleman. Not if I can help it. Wherever we can connect you direct, I'm going to connect you direct. That way you can deal with it. Now you get motivated and get the stuff done. I have wholesalers, and even with wholesalers, here's what we'll do. I can organize so that you will know exactly what the cost is. You will know what the shipping is. I am not going to pay for it and I am not going to be the one receiving it. I will organize the order. I will set it up. We can have it drop ship straight to you and you're the one that's going to pay for it with a card or whatever. See how that works? But we can put troops in the field, field them quickly. Now goblequidation.com, goblequidation.com. Uncle Sam's retail outlet, go check. clearance sections there guys for the same reason. There's tons of stuff that would go right on all these $20 sets of gear for pennies or that will round out your kit. Let me give you an example. The ASAT $20 vest that are at RAP4. Guys, remember you put a pistol belt on that set. And then, all you go to Gov Liquidation and go to Uncle Sam's retail outlet, and for $3 they've got the belt hanger system that matches that ASAT system. They also have the mag pouches for your Beretta or for any of your large cap or for any of your pistols. In fact, you scroll through one area, they have the holster, four mag pouches, and the hanger for a better price than anywhere else. And it's an ASAT, and it will ACU, forgive me, not ASAT, ACU, and it'll match that ACU vest you got for $20. Wow, you got like little money a little bit of money committed and you got a really really nice batch of gear for a very reasonable price You could be looking like somebody in Stargate man Dudes Stargate universe Stargate Atlantis or the original Stargate take your pick you'll be about a squared away as any supertrooper you can imagine and Your equipment will work just as well as the characters that you are hunting See how that works Our proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Guys, gals, everybody help out with this. We need more stuff put into video, fantastic. And by the way, I don't want them to see my face. Well, what do you think camouflage, spandaflage is for kids? Go invest in a bunch of spandaflage. What does that do? Puts a nice camouflage patima over everything, but you don't have to use grease paint. It goes right over everybody's face. You can see through it because it's a mesh. spandoflage or whatever other variation on the theme you can find. Any of those will do. We're at the top. Hey dad. Whoops, there we go. Oh go ahead. I was going to say one other thing. Everybody needs a hero scarf. Oh yeah. Or a gas mask. Yeah. Be creative. Well, one of the things to remember guys is, you know, the big thing is everybody has to have the same outfit so you look like you've been over in Iraq. I haven't been over in Iraq. But you know what? I used to wear, I've always worn, if anybody knows me in the field, they know I've worn a British Actually, what is this old camo sniper veil? That's standard for our unit for years. What do you wear that for? Now it's really funny. Basically, we've done that kind of get up for years, but it's our pattern. Now you have to have the shrimus if you don't, you're just not with it. You can't fight if you don't have one of those. Wow, I guess I might as well give up because over the last 30, 40 years we didn't have one. Now one more thing before we go, BC is going to be pre-recorded tonight. Oh, very good. Okay, well we are at the top so we're going to hear the music here. Ed, have we had any more to add to the page? When I checked earlier today, we were at the same level. Very good. Okay. Anyway, for our friends out there, rap4.com, www.rap4.com, www.airsoft-club.com. They both got some fantastic sales going on. Looking there, clearance and specials first. Same with copes distributing dot-com you need pistol belts. Don't look at copes distributing you buy 40 50 of them at a time You get them for almost nothing And there's where the pistol belts are for those vests you got for $20 only you pay two or three dollars for the pistol belt rather than seven or ten How's that sound God bless the Republic death of the new world order we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire's on the run we're in a march We'll be back in 8, down to my self-intel report, while BC coming up next right here on Liberty Tree Radio. Bye-bye. They've got every swing and dink they've got, everybody in uniform. 180 men. How much real estate could 180 men carry, you know, cover? Let's give each one of them 20 yards. Put them in uniform and have them do walk patrol. Non-stop. Got 20 here, 40, you got a platoon here, a platoon there, a platoon here, a platoon there, checkpoints, blah, blah, blah. Presence. Presence and occupation. Here's the thing, you don't have one National Guard company drilling this weekend. You've got probably a dozen, if not 20. Next weekend, there will be just as many of another formation or series of formations. Sister units, the ones that drill this weekend, will drill alternate weekends. Why sit in a building in northern Texas rotating your thumbs or kicking your foot upon the wall behind you because you don't have jack squat to do and you're getting bored with getting paid? When we turn around and we apply them to a working mission inside the state of Texas, the federal government cannot say jack or squat about. Here's how it works. See that space right there where the federal line is? Well, we're not going to touch that. We're going to hit the road. The road here is inside the state of Texas. That's ours. So don't worry. We'll just take care of that right there. Now, if you want to pile them up on the beach there, you go right ahead. But you know what? They're not going any farther. Anybody and everybody that tries to move will be grabbing. We've got lots of people here to grab them. We're going to put them in a deuce and a half. We're drying them over to the gate there. We've got bolt cutters. We're going to shovel their arse right back through the gate, put the chain back up, pay you for a lock, and put another one on it. How do you like that? Now you watch and see how the Fed would get in everybody's face because this wouldn't allow them to make any money off us. or to steal our jobs, or to rip off our wallets, or to jack us in some other way because this is all a complete set up. Every one of them trying to come over needs to be shipped back. We don't have to handle them, we don't have to house them, we don't want to hurt them. I don't want them in a lock up. I don't want them anywhere in the United States. The moment they come across, they go right back where they came from. Mexico let them in, Mexico must love them, Mexico can keep them. I'm not even going to fly them back from here. Why? I didn't ship their sorry arse to the border. I did not ship their sorry arse halfway across the isthmus of Mexico there in Panama. We didn't do that. They could pop their hind end and convince themselves. So I guess they better figure out how to drag their hind end back through Mexico.
