Visit them online today at mainmilitary.com. That's main, like the state, military.com. 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay attacks 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. It's a number you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail, harass 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 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 what 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 burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home of the free? PrettyTreeRadio.4MG.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com. We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. Pull up on the floor across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, hoping to Wyoming to include both the 3rd, the 5th, the 5th, and our friends in the recall state of. We're out of waiting for the left coast where we have the great state of. along with the rest of our friends on the Pacific side, too, including where the beachhead landing took place down there in San Diego. Oh, if you haven't heard about that yet, we need to follow up with that one again. Now from the Pacific side, El Salvador and the Guatemalans and lots of Mexicans all doing an amphib beach landing and running over the sand, jumping over the wall and into the city. Watch out for that strafing helicopter. goes another fuel can. Anyway, well, I'll tell you what, all back to the east we sweep across the plains, leap over the Mississippi and land on the Smoky slash the Blue Ridge where we haven't had any place where they can land there yet unless they drop by air or come up the Mississippi River, I guess. Well, that's where the Golden Spike is located. and follow our friends out there. Nice weather, medium temperature going into cool this evening and for everybody out there it is a, well it's Thursday, Don, what's the date today and what's jumping off the wall up there in your neck of the woods? Hey it is the 28th day of August. It is a Thursday. It is the 20th day of August year of our Lord 2014 and I could say ditto for the weather. It was a very pleasant day. Not hot, not muggy. Good day to yeah do all kinds of things out there in the Sun and get a little bit of tan before the Sun goes below the horizon and Michigan turns to tundra and then we have to dodge the saber-tooth tigers and the polar bears and you know the occasional beaching killer whale my greeting north yeah You know, I'm exaggerating most of that. I don't know, it'd be kind of cool if we had big fish like that in the Great Lakes. They'd make sports fishing that much more interesting. Oh, spear hunting. Yeah. Yeah, he got the... Wait a minute. He got the... But I think the Orca got him. There goes the end of the dock. Whoa brings new meaning to sports fishing doesn't it competitive sports fish or no? Well the oracle wasn't really after the guy on the dock He was after the fish on the end of the line, and if the guy was clever he almost had a sporting chance. That's right Great great break out the emergency harpoon So anyway, yeah, and bear hunting, of course, in Michigan, when we only have black bear. Don't piss them off, but black bear pretty much don't like to mess with you unless you really get in their face. Otherwise, they'll be down the road. In fact, they move so fast, you'll figure out why it is you probably can't outrun the bear and you better be carrying a gun. Okay? That's simple. When it comes to, you know, hunting in Michigan and big predators... Hey, they're trying to draw up different rules to shoot the wolves here in Michigan now. That really messed up a lot of those wolf lovers. It broke. You're out there shooting little gray dogs, little gray murderers. You know, I would point something out. Contrary to what everybody thinks, guys, they never completely thinned out the wolf packs in the Upper Peninsula. And a friend of mine that I mentioned, he was in World War II, he was a doctor, you know, he was a medic, he wasn't a doctor. He slapped me if I said doctor in front of him. He was a medic, but he might as well have been a doctor. I mean, all the stuff that they had to do, I had them work on me in heartbeat, you know what I mean? In fact, we got into this conversation about immediate injury surgery to keep you alive. pretty much a guy that's been through four years in the Pacific has done everything you can keep, you can imagine trying to keep a man alive. Oh, yeah. These doctors will never see. Okay, because they get to see it in the compressed, oh my god version. Okay. Well, when they retired, everybody goes south normally, right? Well, these guys, the family goes north and they retire up in the Keweenaw. You know, this is where Here are the wolves at night. Now let me give you a little hint here about how the wolf population in coyotes are no different up there. They're just as thick. And this is before the whole wolfy and coyote thing. Guys, the little sub-bay there between the Keweenaw and the western part of the upper peninsula freezes over. There are parts of the upper, you know, like the superior that will freeze early too. Now when that happens, the wolves that are in the Keweenaw have a tendency to start wandering more to look for better food because it gets cold and freeze-ily real fast. And they'll cut the corner there across the ice pack. And they know this. They have grown up with this. And counting 30 or 40 wolves in that stretch in a group was nothing back in the 70s and 80s. And that was where they were already stopping everybody from clearing them out. OK? And telling you they were gone. Oh yeah, telling you you were gone while they were busy hearing their hoes on the, you know, shall we say, on the snow and in the eye across the ice and watching them. Now they would tell you flat out, oh yeah, we'd shoot them. Everybody's very quiet, you shoot them anyway. Why? Because you want your dogs and your livestock to be there next spring. Because after they run down the elk, which they did, and of course after we planted elk, and of course I don't know, see there's no discussion about what happened to all those moose we planted up north too guys. Because while we have moose in Canada, the moose had been thinned out in upper Michigan, so we traded turkeys for moose, and they helicopter airlifted the moose that we traded from Canada over to the UP, where we threw the wolves in to kill them off. Oops. And of course we can't touch the wolves while they're busy killing the young as they're being born because wolf pack knows they will pay attention for that. Springtime is fat enough time. Yeah, when the calving, you know, the case where what they'll do is they'll attack both the calf and the mother who's debilitated from the birth. Now we've got to remember, we're trying to build the moose herd up. So what's the first thing they did? They dumped more predators in? Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. But that's how payoffs take place. Government grant money, I'm telling you. We won't spend it on the real project. But boy, if we get ten million dollars from the government, we get to spend a hundred thousand on throwing some, you know, some low-bred wolves in. And then the other money goes to my accountant, Heifer, and I'm sucking on pina coladas on the beach, and that's exactly what happens. Professor Blatsonstein, what were you into before? Toilet paper, but now all of a sudden I'm a specialist on wolves. I'm telling you, when you've got ten million dollars for your charge, no accountability. You bet I can know all about wolves. We need to save the wolves. And that's what they did. That's what that's a scam that's run. So they don't, it's like the desert tortoise garbage out west. Once you find out what was really going on, the other 47 ranches that had the desert tortoise on them, Well, once they got a special exoneration from the BLM, they could take the ranch after they used the tortoise to get the ranch. They then got money put into the Big Desert Tortoise Fund, and then the ranch could be transferred over to Harry Reid, the communist buddies, for housing and for urban development. So much for the tortoises. Yeah, and remember, the tortoises they were raising that we needed so many the government had, what did they do with those, Tom? They killed them. Like, like a mass execution, like, like it was a holocaust camp! Oi! Then all those Holy Hoax people, I could see the turtles lining up to be counted, and then the gunning started. Oi! The BLM guy with the evil black uniform came along, which is what he did. Actually, they did. They just killed them in all kinds of exotic ways, because they could have fun killing the tortoise, and they didn't care about them. Stand there with the hatchet. Just wait for him. the stickers head out. No, just crush the shell. Get out with the prank. Yeah, but then they were shooting them and they were macheteing them and chopping them. They even ran over them with trucks. Just because they were trying to have fun. Because we don't need the desert turtles to scam the ranchers anymore. Now we can execute them. They need to dispose of the evidence. Look at so many in one place. How could they be threatened? So they just had to get creative. 2,000 turtles to kill and only so many hours on their hands. Fun and fun and funny text dollars paid for that. But if you did the same thing to the desert tortoise, your butt would be in prison. You'd be in federal prison for the rest of your life. Yeah! Think about it. You'll warn this country clean. By the way, I have got opened dark roast coffee with freshly plucked from the goat whole... Oh, the perfection. I have to rub that in, because I know where the goat milk came from. And by the way, I'm the one who harvested it. Oh, but none of the cream or anything, guys. It's like, why would you all have to do this? I'm serious. Most of you are going to go, how are you going to do this? Guys, go get, this is the way they're attacking all these farmers who are doing the pasteurized milk garbage. My dad mentioned this years ago. He used to work in a dairy in the Depression. Actually, the idea of working in the dairy in the depression back when he was about, what, nine years old, eleven years old, was to go down to the corner of Miller and Maple here on the edge of Ann Arbor and he milked 78 cows in the morning and 78 cows at night by hand. Okay? Now, the pay for that was one milk pay I'll look to take home for the month. This is the payment for milking 78 goats. 78 cows in the morning and milking them at night was one pail of milk. Take home, and I remember my dad had seven, well there were eight children, so seven brothers and sisters and mom and dad at home. Now dad worked, grandpa worked, whatever he could get his hands on, mom worked, grandpa, she was taking care of the munchkins and doing everything to gardening, harvesting, everything you can think of. And I would still tell you that, you know, you mentioned this, we went down to the dairies and he would talk about what we call chalk water. The stuff that you call 2% milk, they used to dump down the drain. It was an embarrassment for the dairy to even think about selling that. Today you pay how many dollars per gallon? Oh yeah. What we call whole milk today is what they would consider their, what they considered the health food, you know, for the health food nut. the what we call vitamin D whole milk is like the low-end milk that they used to sell to the guys who had the health food stores because it didn't have all the calories and it was a light milk. Now go get a whole milk where none of the cream, especially where somebody has milked the cow or milked the goat and all the cream and all the whey and everything is in there, drink it and just sit back and relax for about half an hour and watch your body respond. You're going to go, wow, I'm feeling good. Why am I feeling so good? Actually, you'll get real comfortable to a degree, but you'll notice that some of your aches and pains are going away. Something's not right here. Why am I feeling so good? Why am I feeling better? Well, it's because all the minerals and all the calories and all of the different parts of the fats are there, and they're natural fats, which is what you need. We talked about this with regard to dieting or muscle tone and all the other things. Just a case in point, we need to be getting used to this idea. Goats are real easy to produce for milk production. In fact, with three goats, you can produce more milk than a typical small family would need and easily can produce extra for cheese and everything else. We just had some of the feta cheese that was made, that we made for this last batch. Nancy has been making feta. And a couple of the other Greek cheeses too. Oh my goodness. There's a little hint. You can't make feta cheese from Cosmo. Yeah, exactly. Oh my goodness. We're talking rich vectors. And there's a Greek guy local who is grabbing all of it that our neighbors are making right now in force. Trust me. He's from Greece. He's from the old country. He's Greek. And it was like the first time he tried the benefit they were making. It's like, oh, I need more. So again, that's one of the other several... that need to be covered, especially in light of what's going on with them mixing up the pot, trying to get us into a war of receives or wherever. Well, we're not going to get caught by surprise, but we need to have certain production areas covered. Years ago, I've got this book here on the shelf. It's living on five acres, farming on five acres, okay? Five acres worth of land will produce everything that you need, not only to feed your family, a family of, say, six, but... Excuse me, give you enough production so that you can actually market a big, you know, the difference. Either you're going to store it and put it away or market the difference. Now, even right now, I would say this, we have a lot of mason jars here and I don't have enough. But in addition to that, I've saved up a lot of other containers because we run the food dryers nonstop. Okay, whenever we, you know, whenever we've got something to dry, if I have extra in whatever form, guys, it's going into the dryers. Then it's those are going into the airtight standard, you know, containers that I've got. Half gallon pickling jars that we get from one of the food stores where they go through so much of this for their salad bar. I use the plastic bulk containers for the one pound or three pounds of nuts and whatever. I try to get all of the standard containers I can so they all stack nicely, okay? And I separate them. I only use certain containers for certain stuff so I know when I look at the container what's in there. Even in the dark, I could figure out what it is. The big thing is, put as much away as you can. Down here, Don, all of the purple fruits have gone early and hyper strong, and the plants, the trees, are losing their leaves as if we were into middle fall. And the grape vines have already started to turn and have actually turned in our sweet. Now guys, you don't get sweet on wild grape until after the first frost. Okay? I just went out and spot checked all of them. I've got a cup of the grapes actually over on the counter there. And guys, I had to nibble and I couldn't stop for a little bit. Why? Because these are the biggest, sweetest wild grapes we've had in probably a couple of decades. Wow. But the thing is, they're already purple. In fact, I've even got grape raisins. This is the end of August. It's not supposed to be like that. Okay? The mulberries produced, the trees, not bushes produced well, but the trees cranked out everything they could and now they've been losing leaves, which I've got some sky ends back there that are like the big around. I can put my arm around, I can't reach around them. And they're producing the most chokecherries I've seen on chokecherry trees in my life. I'm serious. I've been doing this for years. I've been picking stuff like this. I have a memory, you know what I mean? This year, they cranked out and now they're losing their leaves, which means they've pushed so much sugar into the fruit production for seed, because that's what they're doing. They're not producing fruit for your benefit. They're producing seed for production. Now, the chokecherries have done that. The grapes are in the same situation. Now, it's not everything, not all the grape plants, this is weird about wild grapes, just like even regular grapes. I don't know what it is, it's location, Don, it's location, location, location, but 90% of what we have here produced this year, and all of it produced well. In fact, I've got some where they're hanging from the trees. I was going to go out and do it and I ran out of time. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go out and I'm going to harvest all of them, and this is a month ahead of time. Because if I don't take them now, they're going to be raisins. The birds will come in, the deer will come in. And they're talking clusters that are about half the size of your fist. Take your fist and ball it up. Wild grape cluster is the size of half to about two-thirds of your fist. All of them with berries, you know, grape, grapes the size of the end of my little finger. And these are wild grapes. These are not domestic grapes. I don't have to do anything. I can go out and find them. Okay? But that's another purple fruit product. Because they're all in the purple range, they're all with dark berries. All of these have produced in mass, and all of them are producing, and now they're dropping early. Now, nature talks to us. That tells me, we better break out like we were joking during the two-hour block, you better break out the snowshoes, you better be checking all your cold weather gear, and buy the cold weather gear now because people aren't thinking about it with this nice hot weather outside. Seriously, get your extra mittens, get your extra, if you haven't done this or if you're a new listener. There's a bunch of really nice military surplus parkas or cold weather coats out there that are very reasonably priced. The Swedes, the Norwegians, and also the Belgians have, like from 20 years ago, generation of cold weather gear. They're really nice Arctic parka or cold weather parka coats. Big outer pockets for all the junk you need to carry when you're in sub-zero or cold weather and winter weather with lots of snow You know like to have in Norway and Sweden Okay, well they build their stuff for that environment because they don't plan on going and fighting somewhere else They build for where they defend which is their homeland first and they don't sell this stuff on the render revolution market Until it goes out as real surplus and even then they've already got a whole generation of new equipment in service So this is very good quality equipment, typically made right there in the country that it says it's from. And it was built for the really nasty environment like Don and I live in, which is the upper, you know, the lower peninsula of Michigan, but Don lives in the upper area, which is like living in Feed and Norvey. Okay. So guys, take advantage of this stuff now. The cold weather gear is needed, but also food storage. Another thing I'm going to do this year. The way this is looking, I'm going to be putting up walk channels outside. I've got scaffolding. I can panel it in on the side for free because I get wood from down the road for nothing. And this year, I am going to do this. Why? I think we're going to be buried up through our eyeballs. If not, it's going to at least be like last year, and I'm not going to shovel as much into certain locations. In fact, I've got different equipment I've already built to the garage, to the station, and things like that. We're going to change things up a little bit more this year because we've been off on the winters. We're not going to be off on this winter. And in fact, I really need to break out the Farmers Almanac down. I haven't done that yet. I suggest everybody go get theirs and read it. Because last year, the Farmers Almanac was 100% on with all that snow and everything that we got hit with. They were not surprised in any way, shape, or form. But all the regular media was, weren't they, Don? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, They actually use that unlike the you know the people have the millions of dollars in the Hollywood sets and fumble the ball completely Whoa, dude Anyway, I tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna go the bottom of the arm break down your number for night vision first of all Hey, that number is two three one seven nine six eight four five eight again two three one seven nine six eight four five eight goggles or gun sights I'll tell you what guys, again Don, I want you to get into first generation monoculars. That's one of the things that I've had a lot of questions. I don't know why. It's all you people out there, like we said, ask questions. Now, first gen monoculars have the same potential as the night vision weapon scopes. That's where one of the things to balance out is, is it just as good to buy or maybe just buy? If you're looking for a monocular, why not buy the weapon site? And then you always have the option to use it on the weapon, right? Oh yeah. Now there's a price option there too and there are price considerations. I need to have you take over for a minute because I need to save the kittens from the darkness. I've got a little litter of guys out there. One of them was halfway across the cornfield last night. Uh oh. And the guy is smaller than your fist. Yeah, they're adventurous. They got that wander foot. He put his one foot in front of the other and I ended up, I could hear this. way out in the middle of nowhere. So I'll tell you what, we're going to go, Don, you take over and we could use a bottom of the art music break here too to help out. That would be helpful. But you know, the coyotes hear them kittens calling too and sometimes they go away and they don't come back. That's a good shepherd thing, keep all of the stock, even if it's just kiddies, keep them, you know, safe as you can. But let's go back to that night vision thing and it would be good to have a hunk of music in here, Eddie. The first generation green screen is going away, you guys. We've talked about this before, and we're looking at the internal functionings of digital video cameras to replace that, and that's what will be known as first generation coming up. The entry-level night vision, that's another way to put it. You almost can't call it first generation anymore. It's just... It's entry-level night vision. But one good thing about it, you can use it in the daytime, so it's a lot less prone to being damaged by loaning it to your brother-in-law who doesn't care if it's yours or how much you paid for it. That's one way to put it. That's worst-case scenarios. Or the five-year-old finds it, or the seven-year-old, and opens it up and turns it on. And well, you can get away with that, with the digital stuff. You can't do that with the green screen and again the green screen is going away. So We've talked about this before now. I got a four power gun sight you guys all you know We've been talking about this a lot, but I'll put that in your mailbox for three hundred and ninety dollars there is a Four power viewer and this is you know the comparison mark wanted to bring up I can put that in your mailbox for two hundred and five dollars the manufacturer wants 219 for it then they're gonna get delivery beyond that So, you know, you're saving a little chunk of money there, and the manufacturer's gonna get, well, on a Monday he'll want $479 for that gun sight, maybe by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, depending on how many sales the guy who answers the phone makes. He might be down to like $449 bucks, like Thursday, Friday, but he might be in a good mood Monday. You might get it for $449 for him. There's a good chance, but... It is certain that I'll put it in your mailbox, delivery, and everything that the manufacturer includes for the higher price, and including delivery, $490. That's a four power first generation gun sight. Now, you know, I don't want to mislead anybody if you don't know that much about it. First generation is older technology. We quit using first generation in Vietnam in like 1971. But it still works. Now, that four power gun sight is .308 capable, much like the second generation gun sight I have at two power. I can also get it at four power, but it's like another $170 or something. I'd have to go right to the paper. It might be a little bit more, it might be a little bit less, but it's right in there somewhere. The two power I can put in your mailbox for $1,248. And again, all of the things that the manufacturer wants, and he's going to get Oh, he might get over 14 for it, but again, by the end of the week he's going to get 13.99 for it, and then he's going to charge a delivery too. So if you're looking, hey, my number is 231-796-8458. Again, 231-796-858. goggles or gun sights, green screens are thermal. I've got a piece of thermal entry level, granted it's low cycling and it's the small screen. There's a couple of different ways you measure thermal performance and you run it from nine cycles to 30 cycles and then you run it up to 60 cycles and at 60 cycles it looks just like your television as far as motion and whatnot. At 30 cycles every... no, half a minute or a minute it's going to click off for an instant and then it'll come back on. so that the device kind of catches up with itself so it doesn't overheat. And at nine cycles it's going to look like a Charlie Chaplin movie. It's turning on and off and on and off. And it's like, again, flash on, flash off, flash. It looks like a Charlie Chaplin movie. But that's entry level at nine hertz. And I can put that in your mailbox for $1,895. That's $100 cheaper than just a couple weeks ago. Two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, four. Again, 2, 3, 1, 9, 8, 4, 5, 8, goggles or gun sights, green screens or thermal. And that first generation 4 power, there's a 5 power also, but it's like, manufacturing one's like $279 for it. But, again, the other one, the 4 power right in your mailbox for $205. Look around for what else is out there that's brand new. the two-year warranty and again right in your mailbox for two hundred five dollars for first generation viewer at four power right in your mailbox of a first generation gun site four power three hundred ninety dollars right in your mailbox second generation gun site to power one thousand two hundred and forty eight dollars done everything hey what you got going george you know the thing is i tried buying a cheap piece of night vision from uh... from wall-a-world I just need something to reserve my garden so I can shoot rabbits. That's all I need to pour, not from combat. But you know the thing is on Walmart, even some of these places are so like telling you to buy insurance on a package to be shipped because a lot of these vision devices, gun parts and stuff are being stolen through the postal system or through FedEx or through UPS. I haven't had any losses yet. That's one good thing. Well, it looks like Don, somebody's been praying for you. I hope so. Thank you very much. I've always appreciated it. Let me underscore that. It's something that keeps us alive. And you know the thing is, it's like, Don, I think as patriots, I think we have to pray more for discernment than ever before. Because I'll just tell you, there's a lot of scuttlebutt on our side. Like I said, there's a lot of scuttlebutt on our side. It's like, it's hard to tell if it's truth or fact or is it sincere. And the thing is... Yeah, fact or fiction, yeah. And it's just more like, it's like one radio broadcaster was gonna go, we're dreaming of Palestinians and Israelis. It's a tribal thing. I'm like, it's been far for thousands of years. Well, before Israel was founded in 1948, everybody got along just fine. Until all those people were driven out of their houses. and off of their land, yes, by a United Nations edict, yes, the decision. And it's the same thing with Ukraine. Some Ukrainians are telling some patriot broadcaster in Austin, Texas to shut his mouth because he doesn't know... what's really going on Ukraine and I don't really go on Ukraine I mean I don't hardly write about because the thing is my it's a very big cultural thing in there and it's like Eastern part Ukraine is a very it's very Russian and you know anything is a don't they don't tell it the thing is even on our side you got to worry about it you know it's not what your time That's not what they're saying, it's what they're not reporting you've got to be worried about. Oh, exactly. We've tried to illustrate that a number of ways. No pun intended, but you know, this is, that's an ancient thought line. The Japanese or Chinese ink drawing paintings, what is not on the paper is as what is on the paper. It is just as important. Sometimes deflection as much as anything. Yes. That's why we need to look around. look at one point on the compass, immediately look around you. Well, just you got people saying at the Bundy Ranch that they were the ones who deflected the BLM shooting at us, like, were there peaceful, disarmed ways? And the thing is, no, you know what stopped the BLM? It was fire power. Weapons, guns, pure and simple. The idea that backing it was an intelligent process with human beings, they decided that with regard to the bully or to the thief, we've had enough. It�s that simple. And again, it turned out as we know, I mean, here�s the thing, they got away with this 47 times with 47 other ranches right there down the road. Over and over again, they pulled the same BS with owner after owner, guys. We just heard about the last one, that�s all. Last man standing, as they say. So we did something good. We should have caught it back at number 40, like say, where number one or number two started. But they didn't tell anybody. They didn't talk. They didn't make any big noise. I'll just go quietly and let them slaughter me. Go ahead. We've talked about what happens when you sit on your hands. Yeah. Real quick, hey, before we go any further here, I want to get this in. And it's on the scroll from the Trenches World Report. Guys, everybody share this one. But what's interesting is that this is an FBI charge, or a federal charge, which I think is rather fascinating. FBI testimony. Illegal alien admitted hitting 16 year old with a machete. Right? Now that makes it sound like, oh I don't know, I got a little crazy and I whacked him with the machete once. Really? Then how did he end up in body part chunks? What do you mean like, even this sound, this is an example of titles, and again Henry just posted, wait, it was listed, FBI testimony. Illegal alien admitted hitting 16 year old with machete. Now listen to this. This is, by the way, on the scroll, but it's from August 28, 2014. CNS News by Brittany M. Hughes. That's H-U-G-H-E-S. Give credit where credit's due. CNS News, CNS. Charlie November Sierra News, dash. By Brittany, B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y. Middle initial, M. Last name, Hughes. That's with an E-S at the end. On the morning of... 2013, Josel Cuavara was a 16 year old, or is it Josel? I think that is usually a 16 year old sophomore at Klein Forest High School in Houston, Texas. Before that day was over, he was dead. His body found brutally beaten and dismembered in the San Houston National Forest. Christian Zamora, 22, and Ricardo Campos Lara, 19, both illegal aliens from El Salvador, were arrested in connection with Guarvera's murder. Both were indicted for the murder by a federal grand jury in June. Now, of course, the only reason I think this became federal is because it was either his body was dumped in the National Forest, maybe he was killed in the National Forest. I don't know. I mean, I haven't read all of the story to parse all the hyper details, but... Well, let's see, during the Zamora detention hearing on July 1, FBI Special Agent Pilar Lozano, one of the several agents working on the case complained how Zamora composted Lara and a third defendant, a juvenile, she said she did not name, allegedly lured to a guavara to the park. So, yeah, but it's on federal land. That's why it's a federal charge. to the park with the intent of killing him. The Houston Chronicle has identified the third defendant as 17-year-old Jose Bonilla Romero. Now don't worry, Jose's 17, so they'll be sitting next to your children in high school tomorrow. Oh, wait a minute, that'll be the other ones with the same mindset and the same kind of machetes, who has been charged with murder in Walker County, Texas rather than in federal court. Lozano, who works on the FBI Multi-Agency Gang Task Force, said that the murder was ordered by the notorious violent Latin American gang, Madara, Sowapucha, or MS-13, of which all the defendants and Guavara were reportedly members. Now this should be in the national news, right? This should be where everybody gets to hear all about how the El Salvadoran illegal aliens are, well, instead of, you know, bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver, Hammer. It's, you know, chop, chop, Christine and Ricardo's silver machete came down on his head and his arm and his legs and his hands and his feet and well, chopped him into little biggy chunks and spread the wealth. Either that or chop him into chunks and made it easier to fit the hole they dug. Whatever they did. Anyway, yeah. So here again, I don't, if you want to read the rest of the story, but the emphasis here is, guys, this is a we told you so. And you're going to be seeing a lot more of this. The only thing I can say is number one is, oh, I've watched all the movies. Oh, the illegal aliens are so nice. I need to get my, I'll just let my kids go with them. Ring, ring. Well, Señora, you know the children you let go of us? If you want to see them again, you will cost you $100,000 in pay. So, oh, wait a minute, we're in America now. Dollars. There we go. Dollars. And just to let you know that we have them, I left an ear on the front porch. Does he look familiar? Yeah, do you recognize the ear? I left your daughter's earring in it so you will know it is her. See how that works? Mark, you know what the other scary thing they're saying? They're saying... BS BS Isis whatever oh my god are talking to the Mexican cartels in the MS 13 gang members And I'm like what the hell can they tell exchange as far as being brutal? They're both pretty much put equally brutal talking to each other Yeah, well so are so the Israelis talking to him So we're gonna hunt the Israelis down that finance is is and the Israelis that hunt down and you know that finance MS 13 Let me see one will saw off your head The other old chainsaw off your head. Yeah, they can afford the gasoline. They both hurt equally. And both kill each other. And one's a lot louder. Yeah. So anyway, as it stands, I have to think about, by the way, I gotta guess, guys, have you ever noticed all the ads for all of the, this is a sidebar, but I got a comment on this. Okay. Have you noticed all of the really cool... graphic art that's been done for all of the fantasy type girls that are, you know, like part of the video game thingies, right? And I'm looking at one right now, the story's here and it's not from the trenches. And she's a really cool looking girl. She's supposed to be what is the thing is League of Angels. And there's this blonde haired blue eyed. She's rather, well, let's see on the one hand, she's very lean. But let's just say that she's very well endowed up above and she has, you know, sumptuous rolling hips, right? Have you ever really looked at what some of these fantasy art kids come up with? Medallion that's covering your corn things coming down like towards them up in the other direction towards the belly button and the other little boys have heads down. Put something under chain mail. So it doesn't bite you all. It's literally you guys. It will chew your skin open. Your jerkin's purp is patting under the effect because it also... When you see these girls, this one isn't, but I just... It made me think about this only because I've seen this a hundred times. The girls are wearing this scatty chain mail like this thing. It's like, you know, they're bleeding, but it wouldn't be from anybody's weapon. the machete. Go to the chop, arms, legs, hands, and feet off. You have to chop more than... Dimension repetitive. Yeah, the tendon didn't quite cut that time. I'm still trying to get through that knee bone. You get a good cleave. But otherwise... Mark, not... You know, you were carrying and you blew their brains out because you knew what was going to happen. And now the cops come. You know, I'm just curious as to what... All those poor young adults' heads were machetes. And you had a gun, why couldn't you just be nice to them and wound them a lot? I did, I wounded them and I did to them what they were gonna do to me. I shot him in the arms, I shot him in the legs, hell, I shot him in the side of the head. I didn't try to hit him in the middle, I shot him everywhere. I just tried to graze them in the head. I didn't try to, it kept shooting the arms, only trying to wound them. 48 rounds per target usually means you're probably gonna bleed out before the ambulance ever gets there, especially when you're hitting all those arteries. Well, never bring a knife to a gunfight. Yeah, well, but the problem is, again, with somebody like that, if they're willing to wield a machete, this is something like we talked about. It's what the 1911 was built for. Guys, remember, the Moros used machete. They were very adept with a machete. And they came at you, even if you hit them once or twice, or maybe even dumped a whole cylinder of .38 special. You know, .38. They might still be running at you. They still get to you and chop you dead. Yep. So the important thing is kill, kill, kill, but first and foremost, a person cannot run or walk at you if their hip is blown out. Okay, just like I said, send in a mass. There's two reasons for this. Number one is typically you're going to be in panic fire. You take a 45 round and you slap that through a person's groin. You're going to take the dangly parts off. You're going to take chunks out. You're hitting major artery and junctions. You're hitting the ball joint. You're hitting blowing the hip out. And hopefully you're going to keep it low and start riding up. But if you dump seven rounds fast into a target and you're a little twitchy, Well, this means that every round you fire will probably hit something if it doesn't hit that crotch. In other words, you're going to jerk the trigger, so it goes up into their abdomen, their belly button, it hits their chest, it hits their lower chin, it gets into their face. You know, whatever happens, happens, but the bullet stays into the target area aimed for the crotch. The worst that's going to happen is not worse. It's actually a good thing. If everybody talks about how, well, you were trying to kill them, no, I was aiming for their crotch. And you can say that. You actually can. You know, for the question from our caller, I would point out that, no, I was trying to hurt him. I wasn't trying to kill him. But I did keep putting rounds in him until I ran out. You know? In other words, he was kind of doped up and he was all crazy. I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... Yeah, I know. I took his head off. I took chunks out of him. The bullets went from the back of his head and slid along his spine. Man, once they attacked me, I was just in crazy mode. Couldn't help myself, man. Yeah, they're carrying these great big bush bastard friggin' machetes, man. I mean, they lift that thing and they can throw that shit. And, you know, if that thing hits you, you're gone. Well, remember that that is one of the things, too, is that these are people who handle these weapons. We don't handle martial arms the way people do in third world countries where they're... Right. That's another thing to remember, is, you know, it doesn't have to be kung fu martial artists from the Far East. It's like I've said for years. Every part of the planet where anybody had battle axes, broadswords, and or blades, or farm tools, they were all taught to use them as weapons. Virtually, well think about it, all of the weapons you see that are in Korean martial arts are what, guys? Farm implements. Why? They weren't allowed to all- Because that's what they were allowed to have. Yeah. Same thing with, let's mispronounce this for the utmost, the num-chuckas from Okinawa. That's where they came from. Originally, the farmers would use them to harvest rice. Yes, thrashing tools. But just wait until they want to thrash something else. And the end of that thing stuck in your forehead is so, like, permanent. Because they weren't trying to hurt you. That's one thing about, in fact, this is true, if you ever have an Asian instructor, especially Koreans, the Koreans believe in full contact training. And they will instruct you in a certain way to remind you using pain, like slap you side to head and say, you know, this is going to get you killed if you do what you just did again. They will instruct you in a way that you will remember. And they have been, they've got to remember this is how they train their children. So it's like the difference between soccer moms in America and a no score game where everybody might as well just be running around in a circular field kicking the ball until they exhaust. As opposed to playing a game over in Korea where they plan on winning. And they're talking about it. There's so many illegal coming across now that it's almost imperative that you carry. Everything you have should be a weapon. Let me give you an example. One of the reasons to carry a small mag light. I love these little bright LED lights. But a small mag light is still a compression tool. It is still an impact tool. Everything you're carrying should be an impact tool. I carry a carabiner. I carry a 1972 carabiner. Got it right here. It's right on my waist right now. What's it for? Well, it's not for hanging from a tree. You want to know what you do. You take, when the carabiner comes off, you put the clippy side in your hand. You make sure that that crossbar, that steel, that fine American 1972 made chrome steel. is towards the face side. And then if nothing else may, it's not a brass knuckle, but it's better than a brass knuckle. Because you can't see these flashlights, these small flashlights with the bombs that come out now. I know that you guys have seen them. Those tactical flashlights. Right, when you're getting out of here. The pokey pokey. Yeah, that'll fix the part. But these stories, like you said, they're coming out more and more. Man, you almost have to carry a gun now. Well, the gun is the equalizer because you're dealing with packs. See, that's the problem is Americans are still not, we experience it, I'll remind you of it every once in a while, but it's like what you're going to be seeing here. You're going to be seeing, you already are seeing it. Look at the knockout game. It's not a game. It's an intentional attack on the fabric of America. But what do you have? You have a pack of animals that are spread out. Now if you kill enough of that pack, they're going to back off, especially when you become very proficient and you make one scream and bleed a lot. Not just die. I mean scream bleed thrash and bleed all over the place. What's that crot shot crot shot crot shot? His dinky is laying on the ground He got blown off by that half inch around that 45 his dinky's laying on the ground because he's sagging his pants and the dinky's laying there and he's got a hole where you can stick it you stick a fist through the our school Okay on the back of him now that motivates all the rest to go I don't want my dinky missing and that's really all they're thinking about because they think with their dinky anyway with everything that they do And I don't care what it is. There are hands around their dinky and the other one is back around their mouth and they'll rotate and then they're busy looking at you like, what can I do to hurt you? I'm serious. So the thing is, blow their dinky off. And the more that you do that, especially when you've got a crowd or whatever, the idea is that you immediately, boom, this is where you've got to think about not turning and doing all the classic shooting. I learned a long time ago, if I'm being grabbed, I'll shoot right through the coat. Oh, we've addressed that number, hey, before the gun can be seen it's gone off once at least. Exactly. When you turn they think, you know, you don't have to get that arm out, arm extended. Consider the idea that if somebody's already cleaving or coming at you with a weapon, you're going to take a hit. And the other part about it is if you're slower, you've not been paying attention. You have to be prepared to create ways to absorb that hit. That turn and reaching and pulling open a coat at the same time to gain that underarm. and drawing and pointing the gun right through the vest or coat. It can almost look like you're grimacing, encouraging your opponent, relaxing him, thinking he's got it made. Yeah, practice panic, but it's not panic. In other words, make them feel comfortable, the idea. Make them see what they expect, but deliver what they were not expecting. Right, right. Give him that for that instant that gain of confidence make him think he's got it made and then go to your war face And I'm telling you go to your death face. That's the one thing people know you hear about that, but it's hard to explain Here is a mindset that is attached to your count and when it's obvious to them that you've changed from oh this was oh I was I was I was the white cracker, you know dummy to the well, this is now killing time Because I used to love you. And it's been used, it works with great success. At the very least, it blunts some. Usually there's only one or two out of a pack that are really the alpha slash the biters. And once they're gone, the bravos, the bees, they don't really want to keep up the fight. They might stay as long as there's some fight left in, you know, the alpha you put holes in. But even there, it's already broken the operation. The important thing is to identify who the next one is, open their face about trying to charge. You have to be thinking through the whole process. And I know this is tough because it takes longer to explain than it does to actually experience it. Because there is no difference between America now out on the street and a prison environment. In a prison environment, you are always prepared to fight. You're a civil where you need to be, but you have to understand that because of drama queens, people that have a true criminal mind that operate in the prison system behind the wire, just like they do out on the street, they're always looking for a victim. And in their mind, they will never fix that. So like I said, there is a percentage of people that absolutely need to be behind bars. But there's such a small percentage that they're easily identified, but government lets them out to do more crime because if they let the other people out that really aren't criminals that they put in there illegitimately, the crime would cease to exist and the police state has no justification. So the purpose of the parole board is to let out the criminals that will resid and not let out the people that would totally change the numbers and the demographics. So that's who you're dealing with. It's just like when they're opening the gates. What's coming across the border right now is a criminal wave designed to kill you. That's its purpose. That's its only purpose. That's why you've got 35-year-olds in American high schools that are trying to sign up to go into American high schools. And what do we just read? What are they all to see? The street gangs, what are they doing? Killing people. What are they looking for? Recruit. And fresh ground. Which means your children are the target to become the casualties to show the other thugs how to do it. There's method, a wicked evil method to the madness here. And the only thing that's gonna work is a flat out war against it. But it's also against the regime that's doing it. All the cops know this, all the government employees know this, the bureaucracy knows exactly what it's doing, and those pigs in Washington are laughing their arse off because they figure they're gonna get a lot of us killed. Now the important thing is not to stick around. I'm sorry, I don't care what anybody says. In this day and age, you know, fire and forget. Seriously. Fire and forget, there's two reasons because you don't know what else is in the wings. You can't stick around anymore simply because you just hit the contact point and they figure that, you know, hey, they've got the B, there's a B wave and a C wave, you know what I mean? Another thing taken into consideration, your objective is to survive. You know, to, in other words, survive the actions. You have to constantly be thinking two steps ahead of the aggressor. By the way, Don, before we go any farther, I know we're at the top. Note your number for night vision, please, because guys have had a lot of questions about monoculars. Again, I've got three more letters here today, and I got two yesterday. Yes, you can use the night vision for monoculars. Just understand there's a difference in what you're looking through, because, well, the weapons site has gradients on board, right? You're going to have an aim point. You're going to have a reticle in it. Yeah. You can live with that. But go ahead, please. What do we have available first gen in a monocular we can grab out that we can put into people's hands to, you know, arm them up well? We've got a four power first generation gun sight right in your mailbox for $205. The manufacturer wants $219, and they're going to get delivery beyond that. Right in your mailbox, all of the... Two-year warranty. It has a built-in illuminator. Write your mailbox. $205. Oh, by the way, before I forget, Don, if you get to a computer, guys, everybody out there, have you looked at the new T-90 tanks? The latest variance, what you're taking pictures of in the field right now that the Russians have, I would point something out. Look at the front glacis plate. On the top, you'll see one daylight night light system that's on the left side of the tank if you were the driver. On the right side, notice the big black lens. That's an IR illumination system. For all of the modernization guys, they are set up on IR night with half of their lighting, half of their white light connection.
