A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. 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 buy 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 is 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 and 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. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he 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 trample 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 this still the land of the free? Evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I'm our corny and 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. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, Ronnie M&FM Microstations, CB Baystations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida to the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Chugga, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd and 5th pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east sweep across the plains over the Mississippi. Cool air to the left. We land in the Smokies. For the restaurant crews, Gram and teams, OK teams, the Mobville Gram and Consortium bring us to the Golden Spike. It's grower 8. It wants to rain here, but it hasn't yet. The storms are not quite right. The air is close, but not quite right. If it does, I got to step away from the mic real quick. If it does happen. Anyway, BK, what's the day today, sir? And what's it like in your neck of the woods? And what is it, jumping off the wall, please? It is July 25, 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. That makes this quartermaster's corner. We have reverted to standard Midwestern summer here with a little piddle of rain today. That mitigated the temperatures quite nicely and I can't complain any about that. I have spent a disproportionate fraction of the week doing battle with a mole that is running around ravaging the front yard. I have to say that's kind of depressing. So far the mole is winning. All these little craters are reappearing and piles of dirt everywhere and so on. If I can't pour the mole, I'm not so sure about how I'm going to deal with the vampires, except, well, maybe the vampires are bigger targets. So, I guess maybe there's hope. But it sure is frustrating. A rotten little bugger, he just keeps popping up here and there. I never see him, but I see his dirty deeds. Well, I guess that's kind of like the vampires, isn't it? Maybe he's practiced for vampires. So, at any rate. We have had an interesting week. Not a whole lot that's new, but we have had more of the same. We have watched the Israeli rampage continue. Last I heard they were up to 800 KIA's. That is 800 Palestinian civilians slaughtered. Congratulations, guys. A national military manages to slaughter civilians. Wow, gee, we're impressed. On the other hand, as soon as they engaged on the ground, the kill ratio went from 200 to 1, up to something like 800 to 10. Interesting, they come to arm's length and suddenly their success rate drops. dramatically. Isn't that interesting? Basically, they're just demonstrating over and over and over again that as long as your opponent refuses to quit, you can't win. That's what we're seeing over there. The Palestinians refuse to quit and therefore the Israelis can't win, at least until they have final solution everybody. They appear to be quite fond of final solutions as long as it's them doing it to somebody else. We have a big blind spot in the Western press. We only talk about the KIA's. For every target that's killed, there's probably another 10 who are severely wounded and basically maimed for life and we don't talk about them. For each of those, there are probably about another 10 who are displaced and homeless. Apparently, we don't care or talk about them either. So, the casualties of various levels are orders of magnitude more than even the corporate press is admitting and the corporate press is admitting that the Izzies are getting close to four digits of victims as their front line military assaults, rough and tough hospitals and schools and neighborhoods and so forth. Man, we are awfully impressed by this performance. Comments? Well, again, it's a replay of when they went into Gaza a few years ago, except it's even worse in terms of how they're acting. The people that are Palestinians in their own piece of real estate, they're not owned by Israel, but the Israelis, of course, doing everything they can to steal the property anyway, so that's really what this is all about. The thieves are being thieves and people have been pretty well fed up with it for quite some time anyway and now this is coming to a head. The casualty exchange is probably quick, but also remember for the offensive, if they're acknowledging that they've had an increase in KIA's on the Israeli side, then in the same breath, either through friendly fire, see that's the other problem, it's kind of like the Polish firing squad thing, once you start getting into a tight area, all the garbage you're throwing in, well, kind of like in Braveheart, well, won't we hurt our men too, sir? We'll hit our men too. Yes, we'll hit those as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's just peasants. Yeah, the goofs, you know, idiots stupid enough to follow the orders of the sycophants. Well, they're expendable. But there would be just as many 5, 6 wounded of whatever type for everyone. Typically it's a KIA. So if they've admitted a KIA is killed in action. then that means that somebody's putting some rounds back on range the way they should. And that means there's more than just those killed. It's not like, oh, these either dead or very much untouched and alive. No, they've been taking other hits then too. To what degree is the question? How bad is of course, you know, it's like the colors of the rainbow kids, you know, broad spectrum and many, many options for how badly you can be hit. But everything and anything where you hit somebody typically is taking them out of the operation. Well, that comes back to my comments. You know, we only talked about they killed. In fact, some piece of shrapnel knocks a chunk out of somebody, even if you patch them up and they manage to stay alive for another few years, or 50 years or whatnot. That's a life changing experience. You never completely recover from that kind of stuff, and somehow that doesn't even count. All our press is interested in is how many are killed. How many are killed? How many killed and maimed? How many of those are adults? How many of those are children? How many of those kids have lost a leg or an arm or whatnot? You think that they don't notice that after a couple of weeks? Come on, guys. I'm kind of frustrated on that one. Then on the other big front in Ukraine, as of a couple of weeks ago, I think there were up to 1,500 of the Eastern Ukrainians that they had killed. It's got to be over 2,000 by now. They have shelled entire towns. They continue to do airstrikes on apartment buildings. Kiev regime's forces are actually running down and bogging down. They've continued to take objectives, but at a tremendous price. We're starting to hear stories of desertions that they are running shy on supplies. The food supplies are running down, the ammunition supplies are running down, probably fuel is running down because no matter how much natural gas they can steal out of the Russian pipeline, that's not going to do anything for their armor on the ground and aircraft and all that kind of good stuff. So they are taking bits of ground and at the same time we don't hear anything about losses. If you notice that, we haven't heard one thing about losses on the Kiev side. It's as if they haven't lost one guy. I don't believe that for a minute. This is just part of the highly asymmetric press reporting we get. We watch our news outlets, Fox and CNN and all this kind of good stuff. It is just nothing but propaganda, those evil Russian separatists versus the democratically elected, or was it appointed or elected? Well, we don't know. The legitimate regime in Kiev. Of course, all of this conflict is Russia's fault because Russia created the conditions for this fight. Wait a minute, who put this particular regime and power in Kiev? We all know who to blame. Oops. Oh wait, well no, it's Russia's fault that we did that. Everything we did is their fault. Okay. And then there's even more little information that's dribbling out about this MH17 event. Apparently a whole bunch of people on the ground saw this aerial engagement that resulted in the airliner coming down. All sorts of witnesses. Apparently it was a fairly populated area. It wasn't one of these militaries engaged in all the civilians that have scattered in every direction type zones. They say that they saw a fighter aircraft shadowing the airliner flying along underneath it. Then, when the airliner blew, the fighter aircraft turned 180 and didi bopped out of there. That's actually technically consistent. If it were a book missile, that anti-aircraft missile has a flight profile of flying up to meat and then flying higher than the target, looping back and attacking from above. That's probably a means of assisting it in distinguishing between the aircraft and flares. That would be my guess. That would be a reason to want to hit it from above. But at any rate, these things fly in a fish hook pattern. They shoot up, they arc over, they switch modes, and then they attack from above. So that makes sense that if a fighter aircraft were using the Malaysian airliner as a stalking horse that it would want to be underneath, below, so that if a missile comes, it's why it would be the airliner that gets hit and not the fighter. That's consistent with the report, so that's starting to sound very interesting. Of course, we have to ask how did that aircraft actually get there in the first place. Either Kiev vectored them up there and some idiot went along with the direction or they fiddled around with the GPS and the autopilot caused them to drift north or something along those lines. Last week I opined that a pilot will fly wherever he is told to fly. But I was looking at some maps that came from our corporate media. I've seen since better maps and it's pretty clear that that airliner was vectored north far above where it should have been. Remember that just conveniently we had this UN NATO exercise that was going on and one of the components was a complete electronic countermeasures deployment in the Black Sea. Well, one of the things that electronic countermeasures units do is create disruption in air traffic control through everything from deception to jamming. and everything was on the ground and everything that was in the air was active. And maybe screwing around with GPS and maybe screwing around with Loran or who knows what system they were using. And that's what they're supposed to do and that's what they were there for so this falls... all the pieces of Operation Northwood were there. Virtually every aspect of what could be accounted for. Too much junk in one place where it shouldn't have been. All of it, of course, conveniently during this hyper-crisis event. And all just happened to be where they need to be. In fact, where they uniquely would not be because these were NATO units that were in what basically is Eastern Europe operating on the very fringe of Russia. So, they're not exactly in the normal area of operation that is sanity for training, and especially where you have a war zone already operational. So, that again is a big flare by itself. The combination of things, everybody's pretty well figured, it's a lie across the board. And so the problem is just putting all the pieces on the table and ignoring most of the pickle smoke and mirrors that the other sides, you know, that the shysters in Washington and the manipulators are trying to throw out there. Because pretty much everything they've said is either a bald-faced lie or the problem is they've tried to use we don't know which of course hits the 21st century. One of the first things the Russians have done here this last week is they said, well by the way here's all of our satellite telemetry, here's all the information we have monitoring the area, here's all the radio traffic, what do you guys have? In other words, why are you talking about Facebook and Twitter, Twitter's back and forth because that's what they've been doing when this is the 21st century? Well, yeah, and the US is saying, oh, well, we have lots of intelligence. And the Russians are saying, okay, let's see it. And the Americans are saying, well, we're not going to show you the intelligence, but we have all sorts of intelligence. Well, that sounds like a couple of things. If you want to make an excuse for them, you would say, well, they don't want to reveal how good their stuff is and so on. But the more obvious interpretation is, we need a little bit more time to fake it up because we're going to have a lot of professional grade people looking for Photoshop. They need more time to fiddle it around and edit and select and make sure there isn't any detail in there that somebody is going to pick out and say, wait a minute, this is inconsistent. That seems to be the signature of their behavior. They are acting like somebody that does not in fact have intelligence saying the thing that they claim. Remember, these are the same guys that had all of this information that proved WMDs in Saddam's hands and so on and that was a lie. And proved that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons on one of its cities and that was a lie. This stuff dates back to the Tonkin incident, just one thing after another. I remember the story of the boy who cried wolf, you lie, you get caught, you lie, you get caught, you lie, you get caught. After a little while people don't believe you. I can't imagine why not. Interestingly enough, in this case, the problem is after Syria, I mean, this isn't even cold. Syria is still hot. In fact, now it's expanded into Iraq. And after the lies that were generated there, which have gone nowhere for obvious reasons, I mean, everybody just kind of said, well, okay, they lied. Let's just look flat-faced and let them continue to get away from it, you know, get away with it. It's like, well, really? Okay, well then why worry about being there? If we're not taking it seriously, we don't need to take the affront seriously, since we're not going to take any other aspect of reality seriously. So let's just forget it and get on down the road. What do you say? Well, reality is what we claim it to be. There's nothing going on in Syria because we haven't run anything on our corporate press about Syria in the last few weeks, right? Yeah, it no longer exists. BSBs has been shadowed by the other BS to the north. Exactly. We have always been at war with Oceana. Well, like I said, it fits. I said that when the whole BS with Desert Dust, we were at war with Iraq. We have always been at war with Iraq. And Syria is our friend. And guys, remember, if you were Marines and Desert Dust won, When you came up the western side of Iraq, whose tanks and APCs were right there next to you? Moving with you. That's right, it was the Syrian army, remember? Does anybody remember see that's the whole thing they count on the idea that we're supposed to have no no gray matter between our ears But of course they were also one of the places that we renditions people to yeah Let's go over there and have some fun electric tuning over in that spot at the very least they were the transition initial holding and torture and then on to the other places where all those other countries needed money and So well all we had to do is waggle some dollars in front of them and well, they'll torture anybody for the right price That's exactly what they did, too Well, people also forget that one of the reasons that we made so much ground so fast in Iraq was that we actually paid a bunch of unit commanders to stand down. The almighty dollar did it. Well, it doesn't seem to be working that way in Syria and it doesn't seem to be working that way in Ukraine. Actually, it is kind of working in Ukraine. Another piece of information that has dribbled out in the last few weeks is that the Kiev regime is of course running on a shoestring. It's running on vapors right now. Probably it was robbed of any gold that it had, but certainly it has no foreign exchange to speak of. It has no industry and exports and so on to speak of. It's being kept alive by the IMF that's dribbling in money, which is enough to at least line the pockets of the top leaders, if not to pay the army and feed everybody and so on. One of the things the IMF has done has given them explicit orders. The spigot will be shut off if you do not regain control of those eastern provinces. So basically the Kiev regime immediately upon its ascension became bankrupt and completely dependent upon the IMF and the IMF is giving them their marching orders and has ordered them to win in the eastern provinces. So even if they lose enthusiasm for it and say, oh heck with it, those guys speak Russian anyway, we'll just let them do whatever they want to do. Not likely, but even if they were to do that, they don't have that option. Because the western vampires want this fight. and have them buy the short hairs. Through the IMF they have ordered them to maintain this fight and to seize that territory and do whatever it is necessary to do to the civil population there in order to seize that territory. That's out in the open and our corporate press of course is not talking about that. Well, one of the things that I'm waiting to see, again, we've already heard inklings about the need for support. And of course, guys, this is the breadbasket of Eastern Europe. That's what the Ukraine has been known for. If you look at all those pictures, the battlefields have been what? Across the crops and across both the vegetable patches and the wheat and corn fields of the country. And if that's happening, well, you know, towards the fall here, it'll be interesting to see, number one, they either keep it for themselves, and countries never do that when they're in debt, or when the harvest comes in, they're going to be begging and we need to send them food. Now the food they've made will go out of the country and get stuck into the pockets of whatever sheister banker is pulling their strings. But the people themselves? You sell it off in bulk at fire sale prices. Your hunt top lines its pockets personally with cash receipts. And then you go begging for money to buy back comparable or lower grade food at higher prices. Now how is that going to work? Ever. The people are going to be starving will be the common population and they're going to do all of the, don't you have any compassion thing, you know, for going in and grabbing whatever they can in the way of resources from whatever non-governmental organization or whatever foolish Americans are stupid enough to send whatever when the time comes. So be prepared for that. I haven't seen a map of what are the agricultural regions and how that overlays with the eastern provinces that are under assault. I very much doubt that wherever the agricultural activity is that it is operating at normal basis. If nothing else, there are undoubtedly diversions of available fuel to the military and so on. Even if they are in quiet zones, chances are they can't run the tractors and so forth. Exactly. Well, that's going to be the problem. Anything and everything as we've seen. It's like what we did in Iraq, guys. We shot everybody. We shot them when the occupation was there. Well, farmers in their fields, people driving down the road. Just think about it. Same game, different day. Something's been taken into consideration there. So it's not going to be any better. Of course, the other interesting thing you just said, the lack of information on casualty production, on the central government side because Kev is the occupation, you know, brought in by the international bankers, Junta slash rebel government in charge. And what's interesting is unlike what they would normally probably have hoped for, which would have been an internal civil war where somebody says, see, this is the problem with the ethnic division of this. Nobody on the eastern side of the Ukraine There are several river barriers that are natural, which they are also using for the border, which we need to pay attention to. They actually have logical borders with most of this. What's fascinating is nobody on the eastern side is saying, let's go take Kiv. Have you noticed that? Instead, it's not, you know, you guys are right. You wanted that part, you can have it, but we're over here. Well, you can't do that. And what's interesting is the moment that they said, well, we've got to do battle. The one thing about the people who are in the eastern provinces is they're not talking about invading the rest of Ukraine. No, they are not interested in committing the high crime of self-determination. As I pointed out, self-determination is always illegal. No matter where or when you may be, self-determination is always illegal. It was illegal here when George was king and it is illegal there and it has been illegal everywhere in between. Because there's always somebody who is the established or at least nominal ruler and they object to the whole idea of the peasants engaging in self-determination. That's not what they have in mind. That's one of the things too that there are several different people who say, they're evil and evil. They try to do this propaganda. They want to what? Are they trying to take Western Ukraine like beyond Kiev, like there's something they want? They even proposed the idea that they were thinking about invasion. In fact, if you think about it, they had to go raise militia. Well, they're committing all of the evil acts that are very similar to what the U.S. committed back in the 18th century. It was good when the U.S. did it and it's bad when the Eastern Ukrainians do it, right? Exactly. And that's one of the things that needs to be a litmus or one of the several elements we use as a litmus test when you try to teach people about, you know, who's who in the zoo and how things work. The other interesting part is to see, again, if any of the eastern divisions, you know, because there are more than one, you know, a couple of provinces tied into this. The others really haven't seen the level of direct conflict at the far eastern, you know, headed towards the Russian border have. But what's fascinating is you've got a whole coastal area that is, it still doesn't mean they aren't seeing resistance, but they haven't seen the same action or activity, which is another indication of creating a larger problem than being told to do so. Because again, with your backup against the water and no place to run, the other pieces of real estate would be a lot easier to just walk in, walk through. It's not all been the case, including the coastal areas for the far eastern provinces themselves. That's the thing. Anyway, a couple of things before we go too far. One of the things I want to reinforce again at the bottom of the hour here, rap4.com, rap4.com. These vests are an excellent buy. This is that once a year thing. We brought it up in the past. This company, RAT4, when they get down in inventory, when they want to order more from Communist China, which is where it comes from, they or Taiwan or whatever, they have to sell out the little difference they have left to get the capital back and to make room because they don't want to have to cross-reference two different models when it comes to equipment like this. Now, it doesn't mean they'll throw it out. If they have some left, they'll have some left. But by doing this they can move the product, they can turn right around and take the same capital investment and move it into the next family of items they wish to purchase. So right now, if you go to www.rapnumerals4.com, rap4.com, raprap4.com, rap4.com, then go to clearance, go to clearance, it's over on the right side, clearance, when you tag that, Then look at the assault vests that are on sale for $20 a piece. You can't beat the price. There are less than 50 of the eight color camo, which is the multi cam but it's the no name brand version and guys these are the same vests and I'll challenge on this you take a look at them everybody's buying from the same suppliers I've been looking at those suppliers from the job producing end you know the jobber end There's a couple of companies Alibaba is one of the marketers and they deal with all the different manufacturers in China and Taiwan and in other locations in Asia. Those best cost about $9 if you buy $500 at a time. That's the unit cost from China and that is including delivery. However, you got to have 500 people to get together to get that price. Still a pretty good price, not bad. However, for $20 a piece, these vests are 100 people doing a 510. Yeah, exactly. That would work. Now the thing is, like I've always said, you can go to the next level, but you've got to have the purchasing power. Well, for $20 a piece, go to Sportsman's Guide and look at the same vest. Go look at the pictures of what you're buying from Rap4.com. Then go over to Sportsman's Guide and punch in the same vest by description. You'll see the exact same vest for $59 to $79 because they've got over at Rap For, there's four camos that are on sale. They're actually the sale items. ACU, which works down in the desert like in Arizona, and also the bottom of California. CADPAT, which is Canadian Digital Pattern, which is darker than Woodland Camo. It's more like the Norwegian colors that you see in the deep pine forest. The next one is Woodland Camel, which I've recommended because Woodland is a drug in the market. It's cheap, cheap, cheap. Right now is the time to buy it. And then the eight color slash the multi-cam knockoff. So it's a personal choice, but if you were looking at your respective area, may be able to use That particular camouflage is available. There are four of them. They do have a lot of other items in their sale sections. You take a look. They've got a whole bunch of ACU stuff that's marked down. A whole section with ACU marked down right now. I don't know if everybody's starting to move it out because it only works in certain areas. It can be used to a degree as a winter camouflage because it does have a lot of gray-white in it. But it's interesting everywhere ACU right now is a drug on the market also, but it's on the upswing. It's starting to come in. You can go to a dozen different places and get five furs and ten furs, which is kind of nice for molly gear. Now these vests are all molly system and they will, they do have hangers on the base for the US pistol belts. You can add a US pistol belt, you can use that for your hangers and everything else. Congratulations, you're in motion. So anyway, wrap the board back on. uh... with what justice come in and especially through the clearance and sale sections that are retail where the stuff is a block they've got like uh... copes distributing his helmet covers for it for ninety nine cents they've got double pads for like three three ninety nine brand new in the bag u.s. military gi issue woodland camel now i'd just go bounce around here and there i can put a person into a class double a or triple a kit pennies on the dollar and for instance uh... c c e french woodland camel is out there in force right now it's coming in another wave that's the it's called c c e if you see c c e french that is their woodland camel pattern uh... syrian croatian italian woodland there's italian uh... vegetado and then there's woodland and they make a woodland that looks just like ours So the cool thing is, or they were using it, whether or not they're phasing it out completely, who knows, these governments just, you know, they're making money, hand-over-fist, sliding stuff out the back door where they should, and anyway, just like our government's doing. So, you can do it top to bottom. You can, you know, your boot choice is up to you. But pants, Croatian, Serbian, French or American right now, all fairly cheap, but still, again, pants are always more expensive than shirts. That's how it's been for several years now. shirts dime a dozen cheap cheap and all the way up to 3x along with the pants all the way up to 3x which I thought was also amazing you never see big sizes in this stuff guys but big sizes are available and they're still just as cheap as a medium which is also not seen. Woodland camo elbow covers knee covers you know slash you know armor protectors body armor vests backpacks all in woodland just shop around and be very careful and look and in fact there's another company that the guys pointed out on the oh forgive me on the I don't have a real yes I do right here the other company and they have a bunch of stuff on their sales and markdown section actually it's www.airsoft-club.com and they have knee pad sets brand new which are the Woodland Camo for $10. Okay, $10 for a set. Both the knee pads and the elbow pads. If you're choice, you shop around, you can probably do a few dollars less and get American Military. However, in their sales section, they have a number of backpacks that are fairly reasonably priced and include a camo pack system and they're actually a complete integrated multi pouch system for the backpack to go along with these vests from Rap4 for $20. So for less than, I think it was about $16 for the backpack system, which included side saddles, a back butt pack type system, a camel pack, and a primary chamber for about $16.75 a unit. Now, if you do this, I mean, like I said, you're squared away and looking just as good as any other supertrooper out there, and your gear is just as good as anything they've got. So, personal choice there guys. I know you've got more for us. Please jump in there. Let's do a little bit of the routine business. LTR is scraping up contributions right now to do their annual bill for Live 365. If everybody who listened to this program threw in a dollar a month, Man, they would never have any problems whatsoever. Now, I personally could of course easily underwrite that entire remaining bill. All I would have to do is stop sprinkling gold dust on my foie gras in the morning. Oh wait, no, I'm sorry, that was the alternate universe. I forgot that one. Well, if we all threw in a few pennies, a couple of dollars here and there, I threw in my 20 bucks the other day. Now wait a minute. I'm supposed to get paid for this. I'm going to have to renegotiate my contract. I shouldn't be paying you guys. That's not the way it's supposed to work. I'm supposed to be getting wealthy off of this. Like everybody else on LTR, right? Well, I'm going to have to think about that. At any rate, LTR is soliciting contributions to help them make that annual bill. Anybody who wishes to do so, please go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com and hit the contribute and paypal button or mail a check or mail FRNs or whatever it is that you see fit to do. OlbK is coming through in improved audio quality the last couple of months because of a contribution of hardware. LTR stays on the Internet through contributions. We all squeak by with little help from our friends. I should have requested that tune perhaps as part of a promo. We could put one together. We are seeking to put together a payment of sufficient size to get the annual rate rather than the monthly rate. And in the long run, that is a savings for the network and all of us who chip in to keep it going. So anybody who cares to toss in a few FRNs, please, please do so. And we greatly appreciate whatever people can do. One other plug that I like to throw in on a regular basis on Tuesday evenings, before the evening hour and after the afternoon hour. Tune into LTR and you can hear Joe from the Carolinas, the guy with the green thumb who valiantly strives to educate the rest of us who have brown thumbs in permaculture and traditional gardening and Any other method we can to get the vegetation to grow and produce food for us, that is, grow your own The Butting Revolution here on Liberty Tree Radio, Tuesdays between the afternoon and evening hours. Let's run through a little bit more of the routine business. As we have mentioned in previous weeks, North Arkansas Guns, that is N-A-R-K, guns dot com, advertises, I trust that they are being truthful about this, advertises availability of BLC2 and H335 and IMR4064. That's the good news. All three of those are medium speed rifle powders and very suitable for .308 and to varying degrees can cover the span all the way down to 223. Some a little bit better than others. That's the good news. The bad news, they have single pound packages at $30 a piece. Ouch. Oh well, but if you have a small budget like you're looking at two or three pounds or whatnot, that might suit your available budget. We'd rather buy the stuff in eight pound jugs if we can. The pound rate is that much better and the fixed cost of hazmat shipping always screws up the economics of small purchases. The alternative this week is at GRAFTS. They are advertising 8 pound jugs of LT32 at $214. That's the bad news, that it's $214. The good news is at least it's a little bit less than $30 per pound. And LT32 is a premium very, very consistent powder developed mainly by the benchrest people, but suitable for everybody else's use. I thought about some of the 406.4 that was available last week and that was my mistake. I kind of thought about it. I went back to the site and took a look and it was gone. So what else is new? But the available option right now in any reasonable quantity is graphs and that is LT32 this week. So, I really hate this situation. I'm not trying to encourage people to have 2 pounds of this and 3 pounds of that and a pound of this and 4 pounds of that. That is not the ideal profile. It takes a little bit just to dial in a load and figure out what's a reasonable recipe. We'd rather tell people, well, you know, get a whole bunch of this and a whole bunch of that and between those two you've covered your range. But sadly the market does not allow that right now. What's up? $8 to $10 for the pants. I'll go high. We'll say $10 for pants, $5 for shirts. Brand new. This is all brand new stuff. This is not used in its military surplus. $12 for the M65 field jacket. Uh, bad. I'll be about that. Just to get a guy to put him in green right now. Woodland Campbell. 27. Please mute yourself. The background noise on your connection is making even mark break up. Switch it on and off. I got every little noise in this damn truck that we really have. Sorry about that guys, we're doing a damn thing on it. That's okay. The thing is that you're looking at easily under $100 for being able to not only basically outfit the person, but actually have a couple of duplicates which really need three pairs of uniforms at least, tops and bottoms. But the vest, I would buy the vest we're talking about right now. If I were you guys out there and you got an AR-15 or an AK, I'd go the RAP-4 vest right now. I go to the Woodland, I'm trying to do a Woodland guy, so let's go to a Woodland Tactical Vest, that's $20. I go to the other company I mentioned, that's $16 for a complete backpack with even a Hydra system in it, which to me, hey, that's what the Hydra system costs, is $16 on the job or wholesale end. So you grab one of those backpacks, you still need a pistol belt, $3, $4, you buy that from Copes. Well, you know, you're looking like I said about $80, $90 and I can put a person, somebody said $200 will be leased to get somebody just with one of everything. No, I can easily half that and none of it would be used except for the pistol belt. All of it would be brand new. So about not $90 easily. The knee pad and elbow pad, if I shop around, I just missed one of the company's copes had medium and large knee pads for 99 cents. They were a US military issue in Woodland, Camo. I don't know if I should see it, but I mean, I don't want to go to the year-end deal. I want to go to the outfit guy. Oh, just tag it for uniforms. Just tag it for uniforms and gear. Okay, all right. That'll be fine. If you just do that, are you going to send it as a check or are you going to do it on the computer? Computer. Yeah, just flag it for, it'll know. Flag it for, you know, uniform donation. That'll work. It will be earmarked for that. What we are going to do, and I have been pointing out, there are guys out there that were calling and I already told them where can we find stuff. I will put you in touch with, the cost of shipping, the cost of the item, they even pay directly to the wholesaler and I can have it drop shipped right to them. And I don't have to handle it. I don't have to be a middleman in it at all if they can do the whole bop like a big chunk of something. Because wholesalers, for instance, we do bundles. And the bundles will have a size range, which typically right now the size ranges are perfect. They've got a few mediums, mostly larges and extra larges. And then still the upper end, the last 30%, are double x and three x's even. and it can always make something bigger, fit somebody smaller, but most of the stuff in surplus has been, you know, when you get to the tail end and the stuff's cheap, it's usually smalls and extra smalls and then a sprinkling of mediums. This stuff is right now, for whatever weird reason, is the other way. It's in big, good sizes that fit people. So this is the time to take advantage of it. Yeah, I'll send it back to the show. I want to listen to the rest of the show. I'm going to do it through my smartphone. Well, I appreciate that. Good question. If anybody is going to donate for a unit, then again, earmark it for. That it's for donating to one of the units down in Texas or one of the border units, etc. Just that it's donating for uniform or equipment expense. And that will go that way. That will be fine. Because there's a section in the PayPal guys where you can say what you want to gear things towards. You have to do that because some people are ordering hats or ordering DVDs or whatever. So, there's a notation section for that for everybody who hasn't really paid attention when they've made donations. You can actually tag it so you can make a comment, say hi or whatever. Go ahead BK, jump in there please. Yeah, it really sucks when you get down to the mediums and you have to draw straws and figure out which one of you guys doesn't get to eat for three weeks so that we have somebody to wear the medium. Oh man, Fred is the one that gets no rations. Darn, it really sucks to be Fred this week. Star of him. He needs to be smaller. Star of him. Who's going to be a medium? Everybody hears a large. Not for long. Better to choose one guy than everybody. We are starting to see back to school specials. I cannot point you at any given one of those things. That's a regional thing. Keep an eye on local ads and whatnot. You will find spiral round notebooks that are normally a buck and a quarter a piece selling for 15 or 20 cents. You will see bundles of pencils. You will see all of that kind of good stuff. Remember that in a breakdown scenario, even the simple stuff is critical to maintaining bureaucracy and we hate bureaucracy, but a certain amount of it is necessary. This is how we keep track of supplies. This is how we send courier messages by writing a message on a piece of paper. You leave a note for somebody. You make lists of things. This is something that we really take for granted until such time as we are out of luck, out of materials, and no longer have the writing paper, the pencils, that kind of stuff. It is silly for us to run out of stuff that is so easily available now under current circumstances. If you hit the back to school specials, that's the time to get things for a quarter or a fifth or whatnot, the regular price. They are counting on you going in there. to get pencils and paper and walking out with brightly colored backpacks and all sorts of other fufu rod. Don't do it. You just go in there and you buy the two reams of paper and the three packs of pencils and so on, whatever the limit is on the special, and then you go to work and on the way home from work you stop at the store and you do it again. So that's the way to make your dollar stretch a lot farther. I will also remind people that BG Micro, that's Bravo Golf Micro, is the outfit that we have called out recently for various batteries. The 18650s are a very nice lithium ion battery. A little bit unusual, often people will use those to rebuild laptop battery packs and things of this sort. And if you are designing your own equipment, of course, you can choose anything you want. But of more direct use are the CR123A lithium primary cells. These guys still have them, they're down to around $500 at this point. They are offering them at $0.75 a piece if you buy 10 or more. That is a bargain. The very best price you'll find those anywhere else is going to be about $3 a piece and you can easily pay double that. That is one of the batteries that goes into an awful lot of these IR illuminators, some of the night vision equipment, some of the high performance flashlights, very few radios here and there. Lithium primary cells have the benefit that they are very long shelf life. Now these are partially expended shelf life. They are officially 2020, but that's still six years out and even at that point that just means that they're going to be a little bit lower capacity than is rated. So, keep that in mind. I would recommend that people just clean those guys out. They've only been dribbling down 50 a week, 100 a week, whatnot. So, people are obviously not listening to old BK. But, if you skip that and later on you need those batteries, you're going to kick yourself. Because 75 cents a piece is a bargain. Any comments on that, Mark? Absolutely, no, that is a choice selection right now. In fact, I've been going through the batteries and finding I've got some dead cells that need to be replaced. Everybody needs to be cautious of that. Even just having stuff sitting around, only using it occasionally. If there's a flaw in a battery, it can happen so easily with dropping, jar. I mean, you never know how it was built, guys. I had one unit I thought was perfectly secure. Actually, a fairly new battery than last year, rechargeable. Having spares on the shelf is critical. The good thing is I did have another part of that family, that set, that we bought last year that was a similar sale to this. In fact, it was with the charger for the night vision device. A couple of them have here, they're the gnomes that Don sold years ago. They take the two-third AA. The one, I don't know what happened to it, in fact I've been kind of metering them, in fact I just took the meter and put it back on the other bench. I had it full charge, full charge, but this last two nights ago that particular battery said Asta Luinobago and it's just like all the rest. It's the only one I've had do that, but it can happen, so you need spares. Anything manufactured, a few of them are going to glitch out no matter what it is. Exactly. And again, we're looking at long term guys. If you're going to deploy down the border, if you're fighting in the future, you can't count on just one extra. You need to have a pile of them there. You're going to be going through them. Eventually, they're all going to be tired. You're going to charge all of them up so you can get through the night. You'll change one out, then about an hour or two hours later, you'll have to change it out again. But hey, that's better than harsh language and poking around in the dark. I think a night vision unit will run a long time on a 1, 2, 3A battery, but those are non-rechargeable. So those just plain need spares because they are a consumable. Also, Numbrich, GunPartsCorp.com continues, much to my amazement, to still have the 60mm gas mask filters in case quantities, 45 of those filters for $150 plus shipping. That works out to $4 apiece. There is nothing else out there comparable if you do not already have the M9 or M61 masks that use those. The Numbridge does have the C3 Canadian masks in size 1 and 2 at $14 apiece. That's not bad at all. So those are something that we ought to keep track of. One other thing, surplusshed.com. Surplusshed.com. I was poking around in there and stumbled across something. Those guys tend to do an awful lot of optics and lenses and whatnot. But one of the items they have, the M17 Out certs. If you have the M17 mask, not my favorite mask, but a lot of people have them, they have the outserts at a buck and a half for a pair. That is a weird thing. They do not specialize in gas masks or military or any of these things. Their specialty is more in lenses and gears and a lot of random stuff. But random stuff works in our favor. M17 outserts at $1.50 at surplus You'll have to search in there, say, search for M17, or you will have to wander around randomly like BK does and stumble across them. But of all places, a buck and a half. Not bad if you've got those masks. No, it would be an excellent price. Is there anything else there in their special section? Those guys, their website is a real pain to navigate. You just spend a long time wandering around in it and stumble across things once in a while. I saw shoelaces there at a nickel apiece and they're all sold now. Of all the things you find remarkable stuff there. Then you'll find a chunk of some optical device for $700. Then you get a beam splitter at 20 and there's just so much strange stuff. Their store must be either a wonder or a horror depending on how you look at it. It looks like an old school is what it looks like or it's one of the old 40s industrial complexes. There's a picture of the place. It's interesting, the car that's in the parking lot looks like it's from the 80s there. Well, that may be an old photograph, who knows. But they have the most random stuff. However, I just stumbled across that M17 Outcert the other day and thought, hey, I haven't seen those in a dog's age. If you've got the M17 masks, that's worth having. And they're cheap. Interesting, they also have for instance a number of different images and stuff, new stuff coming in. Posters, lenses. Filters? That's the thing. They cater to an awful lot of the astronomy buffs that people are building their own telescopes and things of this sort. That's the outfit that had a grab bag box of rifle scope parts by the pound a while back. They have binocular parts. I think you can have two thirds of a binocular. I can't find the other pieces, but if you have some of those, you're good. Most random stuff you could possibly imagine, but it's heavy in optics and small gears. It didn't take long. Actually, a little past. Well, for everybody out there, guys, Quartermaster for us is over. Quartermaster Friday, but not for you guys. Gun shows this weekend, Surplus, and don't forget, Hamfest. If you got one in your area, get to it. Watch for 6 meter radios. They're cheap, they're effective, they work. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We are on the march of day and night. Ura! Thank you BK! You're welcome. Guys, we'll be back next week. Meanwhile, be careful over the weekend. High protection, air protection, when you're on the range. Watch out for your buddy and your team mates as you're moving through the woods. That muzzle pointed away from friendly is the sword's bad guess. We'll see you Monday. Please stand by while we try to reconnect.
