AIM and FM micro station Hallmark network from top of Maine to the bottom of Sierra the Gulf of Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include the planes leap and land in the spot. For the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell, Grandma Consortium of British bring us, like many hands make for light work, a million Peddico Junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is Well, it is a beautiful, hey, it's been a perfect day. Of course, they've had cold weather up in Maine. I understand they got their below freezing weather up there in the tippy-top areas of Maine, up there in almost Canada. They're telling us we're going to get cold in their leaves after they did a major production trees, power losing, they've done something in their leaves. Here's the other thing. Now, when you go out and pick wild grapes before, be prepared for a little bite, you know, like, it's kind of like, you know, doing a lemon squeeze thing. It's just enough to... You know, you make your pucker little. Not so right now. Weird little finger from the bottom to be raisin'... I didn't warn you. Now, today's date, first of all. What we are looking at at the end of August are hidden into the September 29th of August. It is the sixth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America 2014. The calendar or Mons not just lamenting about the problems. Oi, oi, I'm so verclapt. My, my, my, my panty is a bunching. Oi. Well anyway, it'll be a pretty exciting rock. Something in anywhere now. Anywhere. And the control media is just flat out flapping their lying face left and right. Treat them as that. Look at them for what they are. Treat them as the lying sacks of feces that are pointed out to everybody wherever you can. That's what I've been trying to emphasize here, guys. The fact of the matter is, it's George Orwell 1984. They tell when basically they're lying now, it's when their lips are moved. Didn't do anything about Bummer. Bummer has been a absolute treasonous, if we believe he was American and he's not, for a foreign opportune most likely and he is. Okay? So nobody's done anything for six years, now all of a sudden they're making noise. Of course it's all flap your yap garbage. We're looking at less than two years, and every step of the way it's going to be that creature, that piece of trash, that pile of feces doing damage to America everywhere he can. It's part of the closing act. That's right. Exactly. And the way it's going, guys, it's a sinking ship syndrome. So instead, focus on being prepared to fight one hell of a good fight and actually not get caught flat. I just finished packing up the last of the medical supplies into their triple to the way I do things. And some of those yesterday I was already shipped out. But I'm doing more. Everything I can try to get it palatized, trying to get it packaged so that we can support our people when the time comes. Everything from medical support, military ordinance, whatever you can in the way of manufacturing, figure out what you can do and how you're going to be prepped to do it. We'll get down with us here. Don, before we any farther, night vision technology, just a benchmark it in the cellar. You've got it. How will we be able to get hold of you in about an hour? Hey, you pick up the phone. I don't have any means of communication other than the phone or snail mail. My phone number is 231-796-458. But if you call me, we can really carry on a conversation about night vision. get stuff done in what you call real time here instead of the virtual world. That's what misplaced nomenclature is for sure, the virtual world. At any rate, my phone number is 231-796-458. We can talk about goggles or gun sights, green screens or thermal. We could talk about that generation viewer writing your mailbox, $205. That first generation gun sight writing your mailbox, 308 capable, both of these being four power devices. The gun sight, $390. I'm sorry, the viewer in green screen is 3 power. I was thinking about there's another device and I definitely have my mind. No, we're talking viewers, but it's a weapon sight. There's a difference. The viewer gun sight is green screen 4. Yeah. The reason I bring that up is because there was a question here about the whole idea, well what about taking the monoculars and using them as a sighting system? Well we've discussed that for years, that if need be you won't have crosshairs or anything, but with all the picatinny rails and all the other stuff that's off and improvising a set of rings, Yeah, you could make any of these night vision devices work on a weapon system at least give you the ability to look out use three round burst You know three rounds fast, you know again the shotgun in the area It's intermediate to short range. I'm looking forward you see some military pieces of night vision you guys there's there's little dinky channels almost like string channels and points of the compass, you know top bottom left and right north south east and west and if your reticle fails you drag a piece of string across that and you tie it and you drag another piece of string up and down across that and you've got a center. I'm pretty certain that that would be pretty in point for a handheld device. The problem is you guys, you know, some handheld devices, you might get a few rounds out of it. You might get 400 rounds out of it, but you don't, if it's not purpose built gun sight, well, the other thing is keep these things, these improvised devices on them, you know, two, two, three. Light rifles and very light recoil if the best. Yeah. Yeah. About like the ARs. There are so many 22s out there right now that our AR-5K look-alikes, I don't think the AKs have disappeared, being heavy on the market. Remember a year ago, the AK looked like 22s were out there in force, and they were a great training solution, and they're still a good weapon to carry, handing out weapons. That 22 AK is going into the field. In other words, everybody's going to be armed. If you're going to be carrying a 22, you're going to be dealing with that. I don't think you'll feel bad about that at all. In particular, in the short ranges, you'll find across almost all of Wooded, Michigan. it would be it would be more than effective enough and again it would continue that we're going on to strip the enemy warm and make it we're going to get them from the twenty two down the road to and you'll be upgraded but you do them all and again uh... something in the way of a night vision device to give it you know clarity uh... to step up from being you know cropping in the dark it's not your first choice a lot of other things we can do uh... and the night sight weapon system for your first best the other thing is large bore If all else fails if we can't get enough night vision out there for our troops Remember large boys of any kind offer greater like that's another option for years. That was the old That's the best we could do for Twilight shooting Go with a one see better option because we've only got so much night vision initially in the field Well, we've addressed this a number of times talking about the comparison of plastic lenses be binoculars, you know at about I wouldn't I wouldn't venture a guess here at about $70 or $90 you're going to find a cut off on most of your binoculars from plastic up to glass. You might find something special here or there but if you can find a 10 power cheap binocular and your buddy over there has got a 10 power it's like a Nikon or it might be some other big name. It's going to be glass. It's going to have much like they do with plastic. coatings on it to help move as much glass through instead of as much light through the glass instead of bouncing light off of the glass. That's why glass seems bright and when you get it just the right way, wow, it looks like the sun. Glass does that. S is more transparent once the light moves past the non-reflective rays also. It allows more light to move through the lens than plastic. When you take this out into the field, and we pointed this out last weekend saying there's going to be a number of places where people are going to be in, you can try this just in a few minutes, you guys, for most people. This window of experience is short in the morning at dawn and in the evening at dusk. You're looking through the plastic and you're looking through you're switching off with your buddy or maybe it's moving up and down two or three people and you pick the device, you might have to adjust it to your eye. You take maybe four breaths with it and you hand it to the next guy and the other device comes to you right after that. There's going to come a time when you're looking at something with the plastic and you can't make it out and it just seems darker than like what, 16 breaths ago? And then the guy hands you the glass and you say, wow, I can still see. When you finally do experience that, you say, I don't ever want to spend $10 or $20 on a cheap pair of binoculars ever again. But you know that cheap pair of binoculars can save your life. We've talked about seeing your opponent before he sees you. We've addressed that in so many different ways over the years. For one, when you see him, you can determine the direction he's going. Is he coming at us? Is he going the other way? From there, is he coming at us? If you pay attention to him for a little while, you might be able to with a little bit of math. We should have paid more attention in grade. You can figure out how fast he's going. And then, once you know how fast he's going, these are the same things that apply on land and sea. When you figure out how fast he's going, you can figure out how you already know how fast you can go right. Can we outrun him? Is he going to overtake us? Can we maneuver better than him? Can we just go over there and let him run right by him? You know, hey, do that J-hook thing. There are all kinds of things that arise from that. See? But again, we've talked about plans and we've brought this thought to the hour so many times. When you just look at that little development there, because of this now, what is going to happen there, what is going to happen. But the ability to see your opponent before he sees you can be the difference between winning a short fight or fighting a long fight and maybe not even coming home. Think about everybody with optics to extend range. This is something that we really need to... I guess the way to do it is make it a mission or a priority. If you have any kind of optics and you can put it in everybody's... Please stand by while we try to reconnect. and you'll find that many spotting scopes you typically buy. And it says can it? Kaboom! Okay, but here's the thing. It's a blue bag, two lenses, one long telephoto, one intermediate telephoto, hanger, hanging bag with a little tripod, all the garbage in it, and I paid a whopping $2. I paid by weight. I paid the weight of it. I didn't pay for it as a camera. I paid for it as weight of material. Now, what are the optics worth? You tell me. It's like the camera you know, I just got the other day. It had the receipt in it, Don. $1500. Oh boy. $1500 for the whole packet. It has two tapes. I just ran it the other day here. It's got two tapes in it. From 19, was it? 1984. Apparently they went to Europe. It's got like about one tape's all they needed. And that's where it's set. Maybe they died. I don't know. Maybe they just forgot about it. something bigger and better but the whole unit everything with its spare battery spare you know lenses even the experience yeah and even the experience which didn't get pulled out and saved to go somewhere else which is what got me you know I mean other words usually something like that at least to be you know it'd be pulled away from it because it would go into something where it be I don't know you'd be somewhere this is what grandma and grandpa did yeah yeah and and so again this is how you get it this way you got to pay attention because any optics binoculars at yard sales oh that's just a pair of You know, a little, an eight power power. Yeah, grab them. Right? Because those can be handed out. And the other thing is, for people who are at the very least nothing but observers, every pair of eyes that can jump on a CB and go crossroad, confirm, three vehicles on your mark, whatever, think about it. But they can physical thing. They can up with more than just simply straining their eyeballs. I think it's filling. I think. What was that, Ralph? Yeah, in other words, they can also do this grid coordinate four four six six two three round four test Fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire fire What's that word, Mark? I'm going to enjoy using it here and now, policing the area. Everything and anything that's man-made gets carried out, even if it's a broken gun or a shotgun, carry everything away. Always remember that. This is Quartermaster Friday. You bring it back, we'll figure out whether or not we can make it work again. All the while, that guy with the glasses looking one way and there's somebody over there, a different hill or a different intersection. He's looking another way. And by the way, don't forget looking in the air. Air defense arm and you have a ground surveillance arm. And here's the thing, everyone goes, well they got caught! I'm surprised only because you were not thinking ahead and pre-deploying out deep and away from your position by mild bird air observation. Why not? And that's LP-OP again. Because what does a drone sound like? We got totally, yeah. So we got totally caught off guard. What? What'd you do? Ear plugs on or something? So if you put personnel farther out and here's the other thing just like we're talking about opting I confirm with my ear here's and here's something that we have talked about building shotgun mics any kind of mic with just a simple collection device and using it to scan the air and then you hear we off on the horizon oh well we even there's something right there and that's heading this way hard to see from this you got an idea where to look and it will be it's that simple you can vector it and everybody then is gonna go oh They're still detectable. Most of what you're going to see as a priority threat, what have they told you? You're going to be drone-atoided. Everybody's been yapping to me about drone-atoiding. Well then you obviously weren't paying attention to your environment. Because they've shown you what every one of these drones does and how they sound and how they look and how they operate. And there ain't none of them that are stealthy, guys. There's not one of them that's stealthy. Every stinking one of them is like a turd in the air. Most of them fly at an altitude that a 12-gauge shotgun with buckshot will take them down. And it will take them down because they're not armored. That's right. Well, that's exactly. And for the bigger one, you can see them coming, kids. You've got plenty of time to countermeasure. And that's the other part about this that we've got. Well, down the road, we'll be discussing more. But we've already planted the seed in a lot of people's minds about this. We need to be thinking with the right mindset, but listening and seeing are half the, eliminates that surprise factor. What's the thing that they're always supposed to be, you were standing there scratching your arse and you don't know what's going on? Cause what? You're on the battlefield and you didn't expect to see this coming. And all of a sudden there's shit come from all the middle of nowhere. It's like hellfire guys. And I will point out again, rockets make a whole, the best way to do this is go over to YouTube, punch in anti-tank missiles. Punch in rockets. Listen to what goes on. Like you're in peace time. Oh, lalalalalation. I'm not even paying attention to the helicopter going by. Lalalalala. Life is now in a, you're in a risk environment. The world has changed. Your villages have been bombed. People have been killed. Your mind is totally adjusted to the environment now. And people learn this real quick. It's why people, when they hear that, they didn't wait for the, the sun's going, they're already halfway to the... if not in the shelter, because everybody got real good at learning and paying attention to their environment. And those bombers were a lot more subtle than what we're talking about. So again, another thing to remember, first rule, disperse. In the event you hear that shriek spread out, everybody in a different direction, they're hoping that you will stay clustered. None of these devices that you see in the music, especially Hellfire. Hellfire is very specific or And it's Ordnance Target Effect 2. It is a 1A cluster bomb, competing against the TOW missile. That was its mission. I qualified that and I'm at it, 1975, on the call fire system. I'm the original prototype trainers and all the simulators. And I trained and simulated on an Apache. The equivalent warhead weight. Oh, and by the way, also the Cobra version. Oh, the equivalent head would be like a 250 pounder. That's what I was thinking. Even on a drone, I couldn't imagine a 500 pounder, not unless the drone gets a lot bigger, you guys. Well, the problem is that with Hellfire and with these others is what they're pushing down range. You've got to remember, it's a complete rocket package. Most of what you see is the thrust mechanism to get the warhead there. Now, it's a sophisticated warhead. It's designed to be, again, a shape fragmentation. It's designed to get through targets. In fact, they even made, I'm sure that by now it's got to be a double shape system. In other words, there's a shape charge behind a shape charge. To push charge into the impact zone. Yeah, and to get through the soft, chewy, outer screen and protection. You know, like you see everybody doing this, you put the screens on the outside of the strikers, guys. Well, have you noticed when these guys are carrying these RPGs that there's some really weird looking ones that have extra long bodies? Have you noticed that? Pay attention to your weapon systems. Well, they already build a double shaped charge RPG load that will go down range, punches through the screen or the outer shielding. The second shaped charge does what it always does and cuts through the homogeneous armor or the aluminum, but behind it. In fact, you might have noticed there's another RPG round. You'll see this in a lot of the Syrian images. Number one, look at the circular main hulk body of the weapon, the charge. Also noticed that instead of the stand-off long paper cone, It has a bulbous, it's rounded more, but it's also longer and deeper. What do you think that does? See some of these are a, it can be hashed. See what they've done is they've taken tank loads and dropped them down. Now they don't do what a tank gun does. They won't do everything that a big, big, big gun does, but they still do a hellacious amount of damage. And again, if you can take that technology, if you're willing to spend the money on it, you can take and drop it down smaller and it won't have the super dynamic effect that a 105 or 120 millimeter main gun has. Both will auto metal and get to the start. You know, because you're trying to kill the crew. You really, if you kill the crew, what does a tank do? Where's it go? See? That's the whole human operator who has a brain in there somewhere. On that note, before I forget, my goodness, Don, I mentioned this and we were enclosing. And guys, Don's night vision technology, okay? We're into the start of And we have been into the stars. One of the things that I pay attention to is what's on board these tanks and you see these face-on shots. The new T-90 or T-100s that are out there, guys from the Ukraine. Now some of the images they're throwing up are not vehicles that are necessarily in the Ukraine right now. When you're Russian armored during the Georgia campaign or present Russian armor that's being deployed around two things. Number one, I mentioned before about the bread boxes. On the Russian equipment, it is more centralized and it's smaller, number one. They do have all the high tech on, but they've distributed it a little more efficiently so it's not all in one target area. Still, it's on the turret, so it can be found. The other thing is it appears that they have maintained the stereoscopic mechanical slash glass sighting system, actually reincorporate. Now, let me give you an example. If you're not a tread We were using an M60A3, guys. If you look on the outside of the turret, left and right, on the left and right panels, looks like eyeballs on an elephant. There's a couple of sides. Those are the stereophic range finders for your axe. The optics could be queued in by the tank commander and by the... Okay. I can sit up in the commander's cupola in that little turret. Most tanks just have a spinning, you know, hatch now. But back in the day, you could sit in that commander's cupola in the, for instance, the Sheridan, the 551. the A-2 by the way. The A-2 had its own little gun through it also. And these vary depending upon year and there's many variations on the M-60. But they're pretty much the same. And the M-48 had a little commander's cupola. I can be turning that commander's cupola on that 60 or on that shirt and I can be watching flank right or flank left. And I have my own optics. But I can observe what the gunner's doing and what's fascinating about the way the up is I could hit a switch and that entire 15 ton turret, it takes me longer to describe it guys, would pivot and swing underneath you and zero on what you were looking at with that upward speedest thing and on the move. So this is all older technology by the way. The traditional, although again much more extensively, you know much more precise than many of the other older scope type and systems that were incorporated into earlier tanks. You see the same things on turrets, But the farther apart they are, the more accurate they are. And interestingly enough, take a look at the front. I've got to do some research on this because there are two armored cap panels in the front of the turret. Another thing I've noticed is we now, the 551, to me is one of the most, the coolest tanks we ever built. They don't call it a tank, it's an armored fighting vehicle because it's an aluminum all. What they did is they went light so it could go fast, so it could shoot hard. It's got teeth, but it was designed to shoot and scoot. Don't stand in one place too long and get cut in two. But if you face off, it had the biggest weapon available at the time that we could put on a main battle tank, but we put it on an armored fighting vehicle, a medium-sized tank. Actually, not a medium, it would be the equivalent to a light tank, guys. It was like a Stewart. It would be a Stewart on the modern battlefield. Think of it that way in proportion to the Panther tank and the equivalent to that in modern Now, we dumped the Sheridan for whatever reason. It had pluses and minuses. The big thing it was, fast and fleet. But it had the Shalele launcher system and it could also do any main gun ammunition that you wanted to put on board. It had all the ability of a main battle tank, but you could carry three or four of these for the price of one main battle tank and still have four times the fire power. Think about that. Well, if you go look at the 551 Sheridan head-on and now take a look at the new turrets that are on the new Russian tanks, and you will see a great similarity. In fact, they virtually look identical. Other than the main long gun tube on the standard Russian stuff and the new Chinese variants that apparently the Russians have made some contract tanks for the Chinese, it will look very much like the Sheridan head-on now. So much so that if you had him out there in the battlefield side by side and a head on shot, you'd have to think. You'd have to go, is that a buddy or is that a bad guy? Would be an interesting issue. However, it tells me something about design concepts and we're going back to sloped armor, pitching and deflection, which has always been a flat plate and trying to let it just slug through. deflection is, again, lightens the combat load, but remember that if you angle the plate, any kind of head-on shot actually has to penetrate more armor by the very way the armor is pitched. Because of the angle through the metal. Yeah. And so in many cases it will deflect or prevent the device to eat through, or at least to deflect with good energy, instead of it coming in on you. It might be a bite there. Interesting about this latest stuff. The Russians have been sitting on their laurels by any stretch of the imagination the Ukrainians have. Here's an interesting one that was a little quote from this morning I didn't get a chance to cover it Don. What do you think the draft age is for the Ukrainian army right now? Oh gee, if it's way out of line what would it be like 16? They're looking at Russian and they're basically... They're drafting them right now. Calling up the militia aren't they? But here's another funny thing, because somebody made the comment once again, it's young boys and old men. And remember that line from the Big Red One? He goes, I thought they told us that they had left here in Normandy. Well, it was young boys and old men. And remember the sergeant goes, shoot, son. That's infantry. He had to think about what he was pointing out. He was a World War I vet. Think about it. Those young boys. Oh, nothing but! Between those... So just on the flip-flippers, that they've had three mobilizations and your manpower. Well, if you've got incompetence and you've got Jewish, you know, communists running you, the Commissar's Ukrainian army. The Russian Barbaros, the Russians had absolutes and everybody usually goes, well, no, Mark, they had... The Germans had more tanks. No, they didn't. In fact, the Germans, you know, in theory, I mean, other than the fact they knew how to use their armor as, you know, like fast cavalry, literally. The Russians had basically trained their own troops with the same techniques that the Germans were using. Everybody should remember that during the Iron Pact, all those German armor commanders... They were back and forth, and back and forth, and patting each other on the back, and sharing vodka and schnitzel. And went over to Russia and trained with all those T-series of tanks to find out how they worked and make things work for them about tactics and evaluating, you know, combat procedure the whole nine yards. Do you remember that? We should jog everybody's memories. So what is it that fumbled them? It was the Jewish commissars overriding the orders of intelligent commanders trying to husband their manpower. And the commissars kept shooting the generals and just throwing the men in and just losing millions and millions of troops. Many had already been trained, already seasoned. Some had been combat troops, so they were experienced. Utterly wasted. by all their stuff or not spend anything on themselves but hand their treasure over to everybody else. Now they're up to their eyeballs and debt. Everybody's pretty well fed up with them both in country and across on the other side of the border in eastern Ukraine. Again, what's it like outside? Guys, Maine just had freezing weather. Did everybody catch that? No, I didn't look at the map. But that's kind of a warning. Remember what we said about the plants and what they're doing here, all the berry plants this year? Like I said, we're going to end up with at What do you think of the fly-care? 1760s and 1770s at the end of that little micro ice age they talk about. That's that gray sky that doesn't turn, sometimes I even attempt to blame it all the time on the chemtrails, but a lot of times there's natural influence also. That's that gray sky and the real tall ice that gathers onto that dust. We've got the ring of fire activities that everybody's been talking about. Was Iceland just had its anti-corruption? And I recommend that you remember we're a spinning planet and so it's been enough. And like when you look at that top spinning fast, that little band of light goes all around that whole little glazed windows. And down of the images from the bottom of Kamchatka, an American airliner 747. Another thing we didn't talk about is really cool. The red and yellow lights that they were seeing in the ocean. Well, it turns out that it was in the ocean. And what's interesting is what drew the pilot's attention is there was a single lightning bolt and then there was all of this massive, they took pictures, beautiful. Some of the stills right now in any of the search engines looking down or off on an angle on this, and it's just phenomenal. Considering that they had seismic activity kicking in, and it did, so there again. We have a lot of activity around the planet. Go ahead, color. So that it's actually copper, and yeah, well, that's in our copper country, remember that? Up by Meteor Hill. Yeah, yeah. Where he still rolls uphill. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The interesting thing to remember is the Upper Peninsula is basically a chunk of metal that juts up from the subsurface, you know, from the mantle, by what they argue, it's on an angle, but it just juts up and it's a solid block of metal. There's silver, there's gold, there's... But it just... The whole Upper Peninsula, that's what that is. Talking about it, you want to camp it up there, waterfalls up there. I mean, it's... That upper... There's a trap, I like it. Because the wolves do not get you now. The wolves... Yeah, I mean, all the water is all really weird colors. Well, that's good content. Yeah. Yeah. And you remember, I mean, you've got iron quarries up there that are like craters on the moon. If you really travel to that to see things, don't forget to picture rocks. Yeah. It used to be, and I don't know if they still do this, but it was really neat when you went to the Sioux Locks. What they used to have, I don't know if guys were over there years ago when I was little, used to have bins that you could pick up and take home with you. You could take chunks of iron ore about the size of your hand. And it was the iron ore chipping the way they take it out of the quarry. And so you could stand there and watch the boats, you know, the Great Lake boats, like ships, go to the lake freighters. You could watch them get into the locks and they would, you know, drop to height or whatever, you know, drop to depth. And then they would, you know, and when you stood there, they had at the, at the gangways where you could stand and watch the ship. You could walk up and used to be, you could walk up and talk. I don't know if you can do that anymore. But it used to be like while they were changing levels, you could walk up and say, hey, how are you doing? And they'd be talking to you while the boat's sinking. By the time they're done, it comes down so they're right across from you. It was really neat. And they're like, yeah, yeah, we're headed to Cleveland, or we're going to New York, and we're dropping this load off. And well, what do you got? They'd tell you what you got and everything. And then they'd go on the next boat and come in. And it was really neat. The iron ore bins were like, oh, like the size of two wheelbarrows. And they were up off the ground. You could walk up and they'd always refill them. And you could take iron ore home with you. I still got the first. It was kind of rectangular. It was kind of in. It's iron ore. You could brag about, but it's kind of thrown. You could turn it. Let's put it this way. The way it's shaped, I could put a stick on it, and yours is a war mallet. Yeah. As is. Not a real fancy piece of iron, but it would be made. And again, most Michiganders have never been there. And the kicker is like Michiganders that should have gone up and checked it. So we do need to do that everyone. Touring around the highway. One of the things, it is Quartermaster Friday by the way. Uh, helmets, these are not kept as the actual importers. They're M88 Pascat replica helmets. They're thickness of the Pascat helmet. They are the proper webbing and everything on board. They're ready to use as is. Okay. Our helmet cover. We're right home about, but to keep your beaner from getting caved in, they will work fine. And the price is seven. I bring this up is because right now, I've been collecting helmets, skateboarder, you know, brain buckets, the ones that are the nice solid panels, not the bicycle bikes, you know, bicycle that makes them that are like that. And I've been getting most of them in tactical colors because they've been coming out in the market in flat grays and flat OD greens. You know, this is another solution rather than paying $20 for a skateboarder helmet if you're looking for something to keep your noggin from bouncing. It's not going to stop a For $7, it's cheaper than a steel piss pot, cheaper than a steel Russian or Polish coming in. And it is thicker, and since really mostly what it's going to do is keep your head from bouncing on the trees or busting up on the branches, hey, it takes all the American helmet covers, it looks the same as all the rest of your troops that are out there, and it will offer good protection from the edge of that APC when you try to duck in the door and you miscalculate. and instead of it taking a horizontal chunk out of your forehead, you bounce off of the steel. I don't ever want to do that again. Yeah, you only do it once. I can tell you who the tread heads are that weren't paying attention when they got that scar that runs right across over the... Usually it's up or down by a half inch, and it's on the upper part of their forehead. I know exactly what that's from. That Bradley is shorter than you thought it was, wasn't it? I don't know. Yeah, did that bleed? Wouldn't you have stitched it? Yeah, it did. it hurt right away? I've been looking at the helmet substitutes for something like that. All the other goofy ones that have the night vision connectors and everything, they want $20, $30, $50, $100 for. Even bringing them in, they're up around $30 a piece. They're good helmets for application. Again, most of the helmets that are out there right now really don't offer any ballistic protection. Even the ones that are in the military so much, as what they're doing is they're being used as a platform for the night vision devices and for the sound system. If you take a look at the original Pascat helmet and the whole reason it was built, which was to offer more protection because, and we've now thrown that completely out the door and now we're starting to turn them into short panel brain buckets where they don't offer any side armor whatsoever, which is the reason we came up with Kevlar helmets in the first place. do a little research on why we had the entire body armor system put together. And it was to go the storm trooper route to try and offer better protection to the three areas that were the most common areas injured in wartime. They had already done the evaluation from Korea and Vietnam. And all the data from Vietnam was put into practice with the next family of armor that came up. So just something to think about there. Anyway, there's $6.99 a piece. The item number is... AS-011 for the OD Green, they've got black OD Green and Coyote browner slash tan. They're seven dollars apiece. I don't know what the shipping is. The weight is 580 grand in back in the 90s that everybody thought were Kevlar and them. They didn't look like Kevlar to me kids. Somebody finally took them out. One of our friends listening did this. They went out and shot them. They stopped it and they... Oh no! They didn't stop for each like, oh my god those are Kevlar. It's like I said. Oh my God, I didn't think they were. When you shot it, was there any fuzz in the hole? Nope, you know, it was straight through. ABS plastic. And these Kevlar helmets, guys, this is why I said they're great for protecting your head from getting beat down. In fact, they'd be great armor for getting off of bludgings and stuff because these are ace in terms of simulating the thickness of the Kevlar helmet. Their dimensions are the same. An unsuspecting customer could be, you know, you could screw somebody if you were going to disappear. That's my problem with these things. know your products, know the material, know what it should look like. Kevlar has a particular consistency to the material surface, etc. And there's a reason for that, like Don was saying, does it get fuzzy when it gets hit? Compressed Kevlar is just that, it's compressed sheets of Kevlar. When it's hit, it looks like a dead pop. There were the original Kevlar helmets that were sent in for Granada. One of them, the guy was a survivor, he got hit with three AK rounds, one deflected low, one hit sideways and scutted into the helmet and stayed. The other one hit top and the whole back of the helmet looks like somebody glued a dead possum to the side of the helmet. And the reason they put it in the museum is because, yeah, it knocked the guy out. It sent him for a loop and gave him a good concussion. But you know what? That's all he got. Because it did its job. If you weren't going to use it for anything else, that's the only thing about it. It's like most of the armor, once it gets hit, you're going to have to replace panels with its laminate Kevlar. That's the basic rule, just like ceramic armor. Guys, ceramic armor stops the bullet every time. But once it's shattered, that panel, it's kind of like dragon armor in the Lord of the Rings, that panel is now susceptible to damage. You know, that area is susceptible to bullet injury because the ceramic panels shatter. they do, that slide that one out, replace it, or you report what they used to do, is you just got a whole new vest. People don't, they haven't done any testing or research on this stuff at all. So again, these are not Kevlar helmets, but they're full thickness and they would be good for, you know, being a protectant, especially that branch across the trail at night, or that tree you didn't quite notice when you turned to try and run and went, oh yeah! Oh yeah, and I'm telling you guys these are things that really happened and the only good thing I've got to say for all of the thousands and thousands of men that I fielded the three injuries that we had I looked straight at the one man when he took the injury to he took an injury to the leg it was in snow the snow was about two feet you know a lot that bad was about 20 inches deep where snow drift he right into that tree stump and I watched him drop just like a just like a I mean literally, but the timing is everything while the rest of the troops were in motion. It was snow storm, sub-zero weather, assaulting, moving into assault as an op-for unit. All my medical people kicked in. I directed the individuals. They just took over and did the job. We had a deuce me, just like the army trucks. One of our deuces was right there. We threw the casualty right in. Had him back in our barracks, armed right away. precautionary we took him to the hospital. He had him back right away. Speaking of deuce and a half, I've seen a couple of them down in my area for sale. Right in the kima area, anybody who is familiar with it, there are a couple of deuce and a half's that have been rolling around. One of them definitely runs because the guy has been running it. I saw him doing what we did with Dairy Queen back in the day. Dad, he had the kids all in the back and he had it pulled into the Dairy Queen. Yeah, Dad, think about it. Now, for anybody who doesn't know, there's nothing like taking them. We had a five-tonner here. To the Dairy Queen, all the little girls had to strap up to hand up the root beer, didn't they? Remember, it's all-wheel drive. I'll let you know what it is. I got a gun sight for $390 bucks, $308 capable. I got a piece of thermal right in your mailbox. It's hand held, it's slow cycle, but it's entry level thermal right in your mailbox for $18.95, $1,895. My phone number is 231-796-8458. Thank you Mark. For everybody out there, again a reminder of the technology that's available. If you have any questions, give them a call. you're going to have somebody who literally stuff it. It doesn't work that way guys. We all know that a lot of people listen to this program at different times. They don't hear everything we say anyway. In different hours we'll find the answer. If we don't have it right away, don't give the manufacturer a call and follow up on it. That's one of the great things about the guy you've got here on the other end of the microphone guys. Take advantage of him. He stayed the course and a lot of other people have fumbled the ball. For that reason and everything else you're dealing with a friend rather than a stream. all the difference in the world. On these past get helmets, the reason I bring these up again, the regular Kevlar helmet covers are cheap out there, especially three-colored desert. It's going to be coming out big time. Groups together, neater than they did, because you'll have all your equipment. You can get it working over in the Rockies, places where there's granite, white camouflage, and you've got a pretty good system, because it's that gray powdery color. That underneath the snow cam, a regular snow camo, would break up the difference. I mean, that's another option. Look at this winter camouflage gear. Anyway, we are at the top for everybody out there, his quartermaster Friday. We of course have BK coming up with us during the 8 o'clock hour. In the meantime, we've got Ed taking over in militia town hall. And this weekend, it's a vacation weekend for a lot, but there's also a lot of special ham fest events and gun shows going on this weekend. Guys, get there, pass that information about how to listen to LTR, how to listen to the micro effect in the morning and LTR. 24-7 broadcasting. We do it, but we need your help to get the word out. I gotta do this. If you're going to a gun show, check out the night vision prices. Oh yeah. Then call down. Yeah, exactly, guys. Seriously, I mean, the legal prices. I couldn't help it. Yeah. I'm in Pennsylvania right now. I just wanted Pennsylvania, right? Oh yeah. I mentioned that there are shows this weekend. In fact, he's going to be at one of them by what I understand. Don't hammer it right here in front of me. Forgive me. I left notes in the studio. I'm at the other workstation right now. I've been fighting the phone lines here guys, I'm gonna tell you something, it's not our phone lines, I've replaced, except for the primary going to the headstrong of the station. I've replaced all the lines and the background noise came from the infrastructure's falling apart and they're not doing anything to fix that. The background came from everywhere. But we are the gachos. I'll have to talk to you about that later, Dad. Okay, not a problem. Anyway, well, we know what's going on in the box because I've already been cleaning that up, too. Okay. On the building. Anyway, not the station, but the house. As it is, guys, be careful. Pay attention if you're traveling this weekend. Drive offensively. Get away from the boobies. Don't get any conflicts. Get under where you need to go and then get home. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march both day and night. John, your number for night is at least give it out a couple of times. Death number is 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8. Again, 2-3-1-7-9-6-8-4-5-8.
