His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight if he stood by your bedside 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 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second power of the afternoon intelligence report amark kirky and i'm done but sure five o'clock one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on a behind the lines not quite a richard west central east and south well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on liberty three radio dot four m g dot com indiana freedom talk radio dot com running with a micro station cb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with alaska or the homework network from the top of me to the bottom of four different about four percent of the off of mexico had weekend to be taken oklahoma arkansas beach of the rascal whole bunch of wyoming to include both third the fifth the pit And the 12 sisters in the left side of the state, who are soon to be 13, waded to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson.

Or the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and Mondo Grandma Consortium brings us to the Golden Spike. Well, I'll tell you what, it is gray, but it's mixed. It's like mid-altitude clouds, looks like it wants to rain, does want to rain. Looks like it wants to rain, does want to rain. Then like that all day, wind out of the west, Don, what's it like in your neck of the woods? And what's jumping off there? Along with a date, please. Well, it is the 17th day of October, year of our Lord 2014. And it's foggy, and it's raining over there, and oh, it's raining over there, and that really is on the visibility. But that rain just hasn't marched across. It's between here and the expressway. If you guys have seen the night vision video, it's raining over there by the bridge. This is true. But we'll see if the wind can push it over here. Again, the 17th day of October 2014. Now. Over the years, Mark, we've offered as help support Liberty Tree Radio. I'd say that Liberty Tree Radio can always use some more support. We offer up... Hey, we run for three hours in the morning. Mark does. I hang around every night. The microeffect can use some support too. Over the years, we've offered little bits of attraction like that. Do you like the... at the beginning of the hour, how would you like a recording of that? Generally, when the recording goes out, Mark, don't we send out a printing of it, too? Yes, we can actually. We haven't done that in a while. A visitor from the past, we do have a copy. We need to actually probably make a double-sized one, though. It's well-executed. It's a well-appointed print. We probably need to generate a newer one, just bigger. There is a reason why. It's just because it's so long is the thing. It's not the, you know, we just need bigger print, but we needed a little larger print to do that. We need to put it on larger posters is what we need to do. Because it is a single document and a poem by the name of Paul K. Visitor from the past. Pretty well benchmarks everything across the board. I like to say verse because men write versus women write poems. Like poetry. it's a lot. to It was up for that one hour. When we did a second hour, well typically because people like to benchmark the hours, we use it as an hourly intro for that reason. So you know that you've got a one hour block coming up. it You might the first time you got it you're sitting honest to gosh. Sometimes you want to do that documentation and follow along. You guys, I've heard visitor from the past literally so many times I could probably recite it by memory, but I've never attempted to. But I've heard it so literally and Mark, I'm certain you could too. Many of you who listen to the hour, this goes over to doing something every day for 30 days. We've addressed that, that habit, that subconscious. You're thinking about swimming right now, whether you were swimming or not. Even if the word came out, it brought that outline to the surface of your consciousness. No pun intended. You're thinking about swimming the surface of your consciousness. No pun intended there. That was all meant to go in that direction. You're thinking about riding a bike. You're thinking about driving a car. All kinds of things that you know how to do are stored up there. But if you sit down and you follow along that visitor from the past and you're hearing it on the front of the hour and you're following it along line by line, you know, Mark, there is a reason why we need to make another copy of it because when you get down there to the line that says, and tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep, You hear that on the ear, but you don't see it on the print. So you're right, Mark. We do need to make a copy of that and insert that line in there so the whole line is proper according to Mr. Pay. But I wanted to elaborate on that for a little while because tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. And many of your parents, now we're getting into that time, they could be your grandparents because we talk to a broad range of people here. But many of your parents came back from World War II or Korea. And you guys, to come back from a war to a land that hasn't seen war in so long is a gift from God. To come back from a war and come back to a place where war seems so far away across oceans, it seems like everything is okay now. This is a basic psychology. And once you get there, it's kind of easy just to accept that. Everything is okay now, you guys. And this is one of the reasons why they can say, or Phalen Polk could write that line, tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Or literally, we could put another line there, tyrants labored endlessly while your parents tried to... And your great grandparents tried to lick their wounds from World War I, or we could go farther back than that. And while your grandfathers and fathers tried to heal up, literally, Mark, you explain that to us from the Second World War. Labor endlessly. We need to correct that in the print. I just wanted to make that point, but help mix some other things in, Mark. The one that has that line is one that was done as a gift by one of our printers. and in their effort to try and put it on the original page and they sent several hundred copies is why that one has the one missing and that's something that we know what we had mentioned that a while but we do need to again well it's going to take time because we've got to have the i need to have a printer do this i haven't done that in a while typically we can recopy things but what we really need to do is take it to a print shop a real print shop uh... slash one of our other printers where we have some of the other text on and have them do a plate print because if we do it that way they can crank out five thousand for half penny or quarter penny or depending on what they got for setup. There's no real setup time with doing a plate like that because it's just one sheet. It's not like you're doing a book where you have to match up lined sections and everything has to be consistent. We don't care where it hits on the paper as long as it hits roughly square. That's something that movie makes for saving time when you're using a commercial print shop to do it. That's what we need to really focus on. Right now everything is soft on the industry, even with school coming back. We have some of the largest printers in the state of Michigan, but also in the United States right here. Most of the books you've read, a lot of books were printed here. They may have another company's name for a publisher somewhere around the country, but they were printed here in this state and mostly in this county where I sit. There's something to think about there. So we do have sources and we have friendlies at work in each of the places that can kind of get the job done. So that'll be one of the side projects that... We'll initiate it so it's just a matter of making sure we do a proof check on the read on the read and that uncool thing is well Nancy has done that so that a couple of our other friends who have been imprinting so I'm the quality problem making a master copy that's you know squared away That'll be our net be one of the next little projects needs to be done simply because visitor from the past is like the benchmark for I'm complaining to somebody everything that we've talked about on the air for as long as we've been on the air. I've thought, and we've talked about this off the air, and it could be done one day in the not too distant future. We could sit with that copy, because I have a copy of it, and go through line by line. It could take an hour, it could take two, but we could just pick it apart and give you examples of every line in there is true, isn't it? And Faehlen just wasn't chewing bubblegum when he thought of particular lines that make up matter of fact he had just come back from vietnam part of the phone to written in vietnam but you know the uh... poems for patriots and pilgrims the book itself was originally uh... put together from writing that he did while he was over there and then when he got back here just after the war That's how old the work is. In fact, there's a couple other poems that we wanted to do that we want to record and we need to do it actually. It's again one of those many projects where we need studio time. Then in the process, as we know nowadays, the important thing would be also to do a little movie video to go with it. Each one of them. Even Visitor from the Past can be done again. There are some people that have put work out there. Punch it and visit it from the past on YouTube. I think you'll find a few pieces that have been done. Again, every work that's done is acceptable. Anything anybody puts out saturates the battlefield. Some are more like than others, and understandably so. Well, we know what we want to do, and you can pretty well visualize with the way the verses roll from step to step. So it's pretty simple to do the imagery. You want it to be ours. That's one of the other things I would point out. I know there are a lot of images that we can use, but we can also make our own. Kind of like a conversation I just got onto yesterday with one of our allies not too far from here. With the work that he's doing, we're talking about doing more video work and it's like, well, we want to make it our own. There's no reason not to. It's part of that Patriot Wood thing where we're going to have to run with the ball. We've got all the other problems going on, but the rest of our divisions of our weapons locker guys have to be maintained. The problem is other people need to pick up the ball in order for that to happen. Other people need to step in and start working on stuff from their direction and throw it out there. Every one of you people has a computer, by the way. has a Movie Maker program on your computer. If you have Windows, you've got Movie Maker. Everybody understand that? You probably didn't even notice it. Some of you probably had a computer and like minimally used it and it's like, what? Oh Mark, that's crazy. Well, no actually it's not. As a matter of fact, if you go to your start button there and then you punch in Let's see, Programs, you will find a whole bunch of different subjects. One of them is Windows Movie Maker. When you punch Windows Movie Maker, by the way, you also have a sound editing system too if you want to do music. If you want to make up your own compilations, throw stuff together, make your own music mixes, of course. Well, then when you go there, you have a number of subcategories, but you have Capture Video, Edit Video, Finish Movie, and Movie Making Tips. And guys, you start playing with it. It perfect your skill. You have to work at something in order to develop your skill. You have to try. It's not going to be necessarily perfect the first time, but you know what's cool? It's on your computer. You can change it. You know what I mean? In other words, it's not like you have to wait for it to go up to the pharmacy and come back. I've got to wait for the film to develop. No, you don't. It's right there. And you could even watch it, rewatch it, and coordinate the sound. And you could make it happen. And if you want to do Visitor from the Past, guess what? Run with that puppy, please. I would ask somebody, please, all of you out there, we can only do so much. We're going to do everything we can, but we can only do so much. It still comes down to. Anyway, we're headed towards the bottom of the hour here. Don, this is Quartermaster Friday, guys, and I have been emphasizing, well, actually, Don's been the one bringing the information forward. But what's happening is that the green screen from the new manufacturers, the new manufacturer green screen, is going out the door fast. And there's a reason, and I believe there are two reasons for this. Needless to say, the Patriot Movement and people that are motivated that are in the militia effort or see what the problem is in this country are moving forward and grabbing what they need. And the other half of this, which very quietly, oh, Harvard's being slunk sideways, even though it's going halfway across the planet yet again, a lot of this stuff goes right back out of the country. Not all of it, but a percentage. We can't stop that. There's nothing we can do about it. And it means that even though it went through the inventory here, by the time we're done, it's left and gone forever again. And you would think that, well, markets made in Russia, yes, and I'm sure they're buying stuff from that direction wherever they can access it. On the Renter Revolution market, everything's available. But the suppliers get their material from many different points around the globe, including this country. So that's another issue. And there's still little sub-government mechanisms too, guys. They know what's going on. Not all of the policing agencies or peace officer groups buy from Uncle Samuel. And they can't all afford $4,000 pieces of night vision even if they do have some money backing them. So guess what? They're going to go first gen because it puts something on the table. And that does happen. Second gen too instead of going to three or the latest four and with all the bells and whistles. Why? Because they can get five for the price of one. That's why. So five men are outfitted, and in some cases that's just how they have to look at it. They've got beam counters, they're limited in resources, so that's where that's going. So Don, give everybody an update. Again, how can we get a hold of you? What technology is available, and what are we going to jump to next in the rifle scopes, of course? Well, we've got four power gunsight, a limited number of them. I'll know by the end of the day how many are left. It's easier to get seemingly an inventory at the end of the week. It runs a little more true. At any rate, I can put that in your mailbox for $390. It's for power. It is .308 capable. Don't put this on top of your .50. I've had that. Will it live on top of my Barrett? It might, but I wouldn't take that chance because the manufacturer says it's going to live on top of your .308. So, you know, there's a pretty good caliber underneath that gun sight right there, isn't there? I mean we'd all agree, you know, it's just like their 50s a whole lot, but you guys you're going to need something different on top of your half inch gun. But this will give manufacturer warranty this for two years against recoil failure. It's not going to fail from recoil. That's bragging rights right there. If you want to talk about that device, again, for power, it's first generation. It'll thumbscrew down to your Weaver or your Picatinny rail, your 7-8s or your one inch rail. Give me a call. My number is 231796-8458. Again, 231796-8458. Goggles are gun sights. Green screens are thermal. We have to go up. When the green screens are gone, if you want green light coming out of the device, we're going to have to go up. To second generation, I've got a second generation gun sight. It's 2 power. I can get it in 4 power. I don't know how much more it would be. I'll have to... research there. But 2-Power is plenty good at night and it gathers a lot of light because there's not a whole lot of glass between outside light, the surrounding light, the ambient light, and any restrictions to get that low light to the image intensifier tube, the night vision tube. I can put that 2-Power gun sight second generation in your mailbox. It will again Grab your 7 eighths or your one inch rail, thumb screw right down. 308 capable, two year warranty, $1,248, 1248, right in your mailbox. My phone number is 231-7964-58. Again, 231-796858. Thank you, Mark. And for all of our friends out there, why are you dealing with a stranger when we have a friend here who has stayed the course and done his part through the whole process, guys? I would highly recommend that you get hold of Don. He can't do it right now. He's on the air. But once he's off the air, you have the ability to get in there, contact him. If you have questions, that will save you a whole lot of trouble when the time comes. So I highly recommend that you make contact and talk to him about what it is that you might need to apply to the task. We're almost at the bottom of the hour. I don't know if we're going to do a bottom of the hour break or not. We have Don with us here right now. Don, hold on, we better wait. We got a ding there. Who do we have? Do we have a caller? And don't have to respond. If we don't, don't worry about it. And for our friends out there listening again, don't forget guys, we have a whole bunch of other interesting pieces of technology coming up in terms of weapons systems that are, you know, again. they're starting to become a little more reasonably priced with the situation economically the way it is uh... because certain countries are just not looked upon your first choice for certain things are probably best example i've noticed something the magazine fed can about shotguns are made in china those are the ones who look kind of like an a k but uh... you know that a k action they are they're knockoff of the uh... uh... figure guns but not interchangeable for anything Most everybody, even though they've bought them, they've played with them, they've used them, they're happy with them, most everybody is also understanding that, well, China kind of screwed us before, or let's put it this way, they decided not to stop selling to us and people don't like that. So what Little has been coming in from China, people will take it out, play with it, have some fun with it, look at it as, again, a stash gun, a cash gun, it's only going to be good for so long, if it breaks apart, you can't get any spares. That's the one thing about it. But when the price comes to progressively comes down, kind of like it did with the Sega shotguns. Guys, Sega shotguns came in back in the 90s. First the 410, then the 20Ks, then the 12Ks. And they froze. They just literally froze. And they stayed high. Well, we started talking about them on the air. Remember when they were down at $165 apiece? When they're at that price for a gas operated magazine fed shotgun where you can you know quick feed quick on quick off You know it's a nice safety feature for you know around a place to if you don't want to be if you want to be able to deactivate the gun Well, we were literally got everybody to scarf up all those hundred and sixty five dollars Sega's and then they started creeping up in pricing You know where they are now how much are they now? Yeah, but I have an eight hundred nine hundred dollars take your pick Seriously, that's where they are now. So any of you who bought those $165 Sega's, you're all sitting there smiling because you know what I'm talking about. Well, let me ask you this while we're on the air. I've walked by a tag hanging there in the local grocery store and you know, usually you see guns for sale privately. They go quick. There is a gun there I'm not familiar with. It kind of looks like an AK with no stock. in a real short barrel. It's a PK92 or a 92 PK or a KP92. It is a 2x39. But again, it looks so much like an AK with no wooden stock behind it. No pistol grip underneath. Just a dinky little gun. It looks so small that it might even have to be sold as a pistol. Does that ring any bells? Well, it could be a Yugo, but those typically are all PAP weapons. Is that how they list it? That's how it's written, yeah. Yeah, PK92. Now you've got my curiosity up because there are... Well, again, if it has no stock, it has no stock, right? There doesn't appear to even be a folding stock on it. It probably is listed as a pistol then. Let's see if we can find it. Maybe that's why it hasn't sold. Yeah, because it's a... let's see... For $400 the guy wants for it, if you need a pistol purchase for it, a lot of people would look at something, because that's a hard gun to conceal. Right, the only thing about it is just, again, for a vehicle operator in the lap gun, because the PKs are the squad guns, belt fed, and it's a 92. 90 or 92? It's 92, right? I'm trying to do this by memory. It might be a 90, it might be a 92. I'll tell you the place to look is classic. Let me see what I can find here. Let's do it this way. Only because that's a good question. There's a number of different AK pistols that are out there. They're going as short as just to the end of the gas system. and then longer but not much longer than say a 10 inch, 11 inch, 12 inch barrel. They're basically the Kringkoff, but it didn't have a flash hider on it, did it? No. Yeah, that's one of the commercial pistols probably, 760 by 39, probably uses a standard mag. Is it something that they've had on the bulletin board or something? Yeah, that's why it's caught my eye. It's been there for like... The last, you know, for two weeks, the last three times I've looked, you know, the beginning of the week, the middle and the, just yesterday on the last two weeks, three times I've looked for reference. So it's been there, nobody's purchased it, $400. Numerous, oh, three 30 round mags and 100 rounds of ammunition. Well, yeah, that's typical for the web. Oh, well, it's not how they come, usually they come with just one mag. So he's joined a couple mags and 100 rounds is enough to get you in trouble. Yeah, we've addressed that before haven't we? But he's only got three mags so at least you can load all three mags and have a handful of chiclets left over to put in the pocket. Yeah. Which is how to look at it. The weapon itself is like the Krinkov or like the you know the the Shorty APC, the Bradley M16s, the XMs were designed for gun port you know stations that was the whole idea. Now all the other little pistols are basically variations on the theme but as far as They are neat and offer a lot of bark. When the time comes, I might not have a stock on it now, but I guarantee that once war breaks out, I'd have a stock on it. You know what I mean? A folding stock at the very least. Well, at the very least. Well, there are two ways you could do that now too. Because now they're offering the rear-mounted AR-15 type telescoping buttstocks for the AK. So you basically take that model and you screw it right to the rear end of that receiver. That's what I do. It adds maybe what? Even if I had to add some meat to that, maybe some washers and a few other things, I trust me, it's only going to be another 1.8 inch or 1.25 inch thick at the back. And to make it a much more stable gun platform, then for house to house use, or for in-house use, or in-vehicle use, then it becomes a lot smarter because once you leave the vehicle, Well, let's do the old routine. Number one, I don't want to spray and guess. I want to put that barrel right on his body. I don't want to guess about maybe mucking up an improper angle because I'm going to hip fire or anything like that. So bringing it up to the shoulder and just aiming over and into the center of mass, low, into the groin like we've talked, it would work fine. It's just that in the, and again, it's a stowable weapon. It's just one of those ideas since there were tons of AKs around somebody said, hey, we can make an AK pistol. And they did. And there are several companies, like I said, the Ugo's have, the, let's see, I know they've made, you know, Wasser types. There's a couple of American variants made by the AK companies and all of them are pretty much in the same class. Obviously, quality is up and down depending on who built it. But overall, It's just to me, again, a lot of muzzle flash, barks like a dog, and good for maneuver inside. What was it designed for? Getting around inside something tight. But basically it appears for all the world like an AK action to me. No question about it. Just seems tiny. Yeah, right. But for $400, it seems these days you can't go wrong. You could pick up another barrel for it, couldn't you? Well, you could, but what I would do is, like I said, I just leave it, if you have to get it as a pistol, I would take it as is, I get a Krinckoff or a long basket flash hider for it, number one, because she's got a lot of muzzle flash. I would then, like I said, get a buttstock. To be quite honest, we've pointed out all these buttstocks that are available for $1, $2, and $3 apiece that you could put on the weapon. Hell, you could even affix. a one of the Sega thumb hole stocks to the back of that and make it a very stable gun indeed and personally I want with the stock on it the short barrel would be handy for close-in that's the only place where it applies it doesn't offer any advantage for open field combat all the benefits purely submachine in fact it should be considered in the submachine gun class with regard to its performance and the other yard you're kind of spraying and praying with that aren't you have a hundred people are certain Yeah, it would be one of those things where it's the bark like a dog and bullets going through everything that are going to impress the bad guys if you're trying to really disturb them. You're trying to keep them busy. You can have them winging through the trees around them, yeah. Yeah, the other thing that there is the big rave right now, Don, is the wraparound. Now the bat faggots have said supposedly, and this will probably last for a few minutes, and then they'll flip-flop on it. As soon as they can attack somebody on it, they will. The latest are the stirrup type. hand supports that go right now that literally put your arm in it and it locks to the gun but you put your arm right in it so they can leave it on and it's like the next thing to a buttstock. It's not a buttstock but it could be used as a buttstock. In other words, it's rigid, it's hooked up to the back of the gun. It would be no big deal to shove that up to your shoulder and keep it generally on target. But it's not what it's meant for. It actually looks like the rib cage of a fish. only with wider ribs about the size of spare ribs. You stick your hand in that and hold the pistol grip and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and it's much more stable. To me, it's desperately trying to appease arbitrary laws that do nothing but try to snag people up. The Bat Faggots are always notorious for flip-flopping on something that supposedly they approved. once you get the approval BS going then they can arbitrarily disapprove and they've done this over and over again. That's the only thing we can warn everybody about. We've watched this for most of my life now. You can't have a flash suppressor on your SJS. First they're okay then they're not. Then we think they're okay but we don't know but we'll attack you anyway. But that's the wrong one. Then you've got a bayonet lug and bayonet lugs are evil because don't you know that we have lots of bayonet charges were saving you from the drug lords of the world remember that by not having a bayonet log remember i have to step away from it but would you elaborate on that because that goes over to hagan janeva doesn't it exactly one of the things that we've argued in it is that it's a fact that remember this sporting purposes bs is all u in gun confiscation when you hear any of these bat faggots pushing matter in these other shicers in the system pushing that what that means is that they're trying to bump your weapons out of the Geneva Convention and Hague treaties with regard to acceptable combat arms a martial arm is supposed to have a bandit luggage part of the criteria for uh... making it a martial arm and you a military canal military combatant that is covered under the uh... uh... Geneva Convention Hague treaties now the uh... The cute part about this is that there are a whole bunch of different criteria with regard to the arms and also uniforms. Very simple. It pertains to militia and even other irregular forces that may not even be considered militia. All of them are covered under the Geneva Hague Conventions and Geneva Convention Hague treaties. That's why they're doing this but not explaining, well you're just not sporting! Well the reason they want you to accept that idea that sporting BS is because in America under our article 2 of the Bill of Rights, there's no delineation. All of our arms were martial arms. All of our arms were used in the American War for Independence. We use shotguns guys, blunderbusses as commonly as we use muskets or rifles. and everybody knows that. In fact, that's why, like I said, there's an excellent made-for-television movie, it was called One April Morning. You'll recognize all the stars in it, but they try to do the anti-gun thing, so they make some snide comments because the Lexington militia were able to acquire six Dragoon pistols. And one of the commanders says, like, they'll do us any good. It's like, wait a minute, let's back up here. You got men without guns, but you're talking about how you're not going to field six Dragoon pistols. I would point out that Dragoon pistols were basically like Kerbins. Understand that. The Dragoon pistol traditionally was longer than a standard handgun. Typically a little better built and beefed up. Virtually in every era going back to the American Revolutionary War slash the war for independence through the war of 1812 even in the Civil War guys pistol shoulder stocks were built for many of these weapons and for the American Revolutionary War Dragoon pistols could just as likely come with a detachable stock as they would be without one. They could be with or without depending on whether or not it was separated from the gun. So, when they made that little snide stupid comment for the sake of political correctness in the 70s, in reality, there wasn't any weapon that they couldn't get hold of that wasn't put into the battle, especially during that pre-Revolutionary War era when the war started, in the days leading up. If they could put a bullet down range and you had a man that could hold it, he pulled the trigger on it, and if it put a bullet in the general direction of the bad guys, it was. It did. They did. That's simple. Anyway, it is Quartermaster Friday. The main military has been running down on inventory. I just talked to one of the other wholesalers, two of them actually today. Pretty well got a confirmation on the rest of what we were talking about yesterday and the day before about inventory, guys. The stuff that's being bid on, that's European inventory, it's being bid off from underneath the American purchasing agents. It's going into the wars overseas. It's going into mostly the Ukraine. A lot of the stuff that you were expecting or that they figured out it had more of, it's not showing up. It's not in our inventory here. As I said, if you're looking at the military surplus stuff like the Sportsman's Guide, I'll repeat that again if you go in there, they got a couple of woodwind, camo, Croatian camouflage shirts, woodwind, camo, brand new, up to extra, extra large. $2 for $9. So that's $4.50 a piece for a brand new BDU Woodland Camouflage shirt with epulets. Those are nice pieces of clothing. A lot of you people are in the hot parts of the country. Woodland Camel is a good choice simply because there's a lot of it. There are several different nations that have made it, not just the US. So getting brand new, unissued in all categories. Pants, shirts, field jackets. I can get the Woodland M65 Serbian field jackets right now up to extra, extra large for $12 apiece wholesale. Now that means they probably paid $2 to $3 a piece if you figure by weight what they paid for the cloth. Because that's what wholesalers pay. Their prices are one quarter or one fifth or one half of whatever you're paying depending on how they're wanting to move a product. If they have a glut or a pile of it they want to move it so they bring the price down. If it's something that's unique they know the uniqueness of things. Do you think they're stupid about their industry and if you don't know what's going on? They pay attention to the market too and they also pay attention to trends. They wouldn't be good businessmen if they weren't doing that. So some of the stuff is still goofy price. That's because it's the latest and the greatest and the one that everybody has to have. Anyway, do we have Dom back with us? Yeah, they're not trying to sell you air. No. They'll sell you a gas mask. Yeah, they'll say, yeah, the ability to breathe they'll sell you though. Yeah. I'm going to have to take a turn here too, Dom, because I've got something that showed up here. I've got another server computer and I've got to move it to another spot real quick. So take over for just a moment here and in fact again, 50 caliber shooting, we're looking at heading towards winter months. Let's talk a little bit about getting into the fall and winter shooting. Look at the wind out there guys. We're looking at more air moving as a matter of fact. Don, we have to deal with that so we have to compensate accordingly by paying attention to the environment when we judge how we're going to aim, don't we? Oh yes, we do. Now, we'll mix two different worlds while we talk about this because, you know, I'll go back to one of the old masters here. Skip Talbot used to say, if you want to learn to shoot a .50 caliber at 1,000 yards, learn to shoot a .22 at 100. Now, he wasn't just talking about under ideal conditions. And, you know, some people might zero their .50 at 100 or 200 yards and then have to adjust up to that 1,000 when they get to the 1,000 yard range. We've addressed that many times. If you've got one of those AK or AR variants that's in a, that's Calibird for 22 long rifle, if you, if you've got a 30 yard zero in it, well, it's going to be pretty low at a hundred yards. It's going to be pretty low at a hundred yards. And a lot of you guys that shoot 22, you know what I'm talking about. Now let's, let's just stay with that 22 and a hundred yards for a few minutes, for a few moments here and we'll move up into the bigger world. But across the 100 yards, there's not a whole lot of variation. You might see the wind is stronger where you are and calmer at the target area 100 yards away. You might see that. Across the 100 yards, you might see the wind is moving at your face right where you are. But at the target, wind seems to be moving across your field of view, 90 degrees. Now that's cramming that in a bit, but you might find that at 100 yards. But, how are you going to notice that? Well, first off, we did mention that feel of that wind right square in your face. Two, three miles an hour, that even little gentle breeze, you feel it right square in your face, but it's coming right at you, don't you? It's like someone is breathing on you, but it's not. It's just the wind moving. So, you can look around, and we've talked about one of the ways to learn the wind, you guys. And you want to tell your friend or the wife or the cousin who frequents the garage, other types of sales along the yard sales and whatnot. They used to call them rummage sales. I haven't heard that one in a long time. But if you come across one of these weather stations, half of it goes outside, half of it is inside, and the inside half is your readout. You guys, when you can glance, we haven't brought this to the hour in a while. But when you can glance through the window and look across a good little bit of range there, and you can see the grass moving. And you can see the tops of that tree closest, just barely moving. But if you look out to your fire sight line as far as you can see looking through the window, where you're looking across your indoor sensor, your receiver, And you see, well, the trees farther away seem to be moving a little more. You're experiencing example of what I'm saying, or the trees farther away seem to be leaning in a different direction. You're looking at the wind moving in a couple different directions. But when you look at that close one, the tree that's close to your sender outside, the sensor outside, and you look back at your receiver and you see that's a seven mile an hour wind. And you look back up at the top of that tree. and you see how far is the top of that tree moving in a seven mile an hour wind. And you look about halfway down and you see how far are those branches moving. Because see, there might be a time when, well, just because of where you're at, you can only see the grass and the leaves that are at the bottoms of the tree. But if you can read all of it, it's best to learn all of it, isn't it? No doubt about it. This is one of the quick ways to learn estimating wind speed. The other is to just, you know, expend bullets, you guys. And, well, a 22 is going to move about 100 yards, isn't it? But guess what? That 50 caliber bullet with a one mile an hour wind, 90 degrees to your trajectory, that goes over to velocity. You know, it's going to be about, it might be, it might be eight and three quarters. It might be 11, depending on how fast that bullet is and how much that bullet weighs, how much time it spends in the air. but you see the scale skip referred to. Now let's go back over because there's a number of different ways. You guys, even if it's raining, if it's snowing, look at the particulate in the air. Man, that rain is coming down sideways. That's a 40, 45 mile an hour wind, literally, to get rain coming down sideways. Do you really want to take a shot in 40 mile an hour wind? I'd try to move upwind or downwind, wouldn't you? I'd try to get the wind behind me or in my face if I had to make that shot in that particular circumstance and here's another C word, condition. But again, this goes back over to how much is that tree moving? How much, if you're along water, are you guys, is that body of water? Because sometimes you might have to shoot across the body of water. Are those, you know, a lake, an inland lake? Is the lake smooth? Is it just, you know, dawn? Is it just dusk? Because these are times, a lot of times you'll get be calm at dawn, but you won't be calm at dusk because, well, the ground's all heated up. A lot of times you'll be able to get greater magnification at dawn. rather than at dusk because again the ground is heated up and your greater magnification brings up that mirage faster and we're mixing a lot of thoughts in here but you know you can read when you learn to recognize that mirage that those squiggly lines from high magnification and heat rise that's what it's happening the heat is rising up off of the ground or the pavement that you're shooting across or even the lake. You generally won't get a whole lot of mirage across the lake when things are really calm first thing in the morning. But, you know, the more that mirage leans over, the faster the wind is. You can, if in a high wind, you guys, you might do this for yourself if you've got like 12, 14, 18, 22 power rifle scope or big power spotting scope. Do this for yourself and go out in a high wind when you've got enough light to look real far away. And even if there's not a great temperature variance, look at the mirage. Now, you guys, you can see mirage on a black top road in the middle of the winter. You're driving up the road and it looks like, you know, it's wet up there and the road is wet and you get closer and that's mirage that you can see with your naked eye. But when you can start to key things together, you know, you can take that outside sensor and sit here and, well, if you have one of those quick releases or the two thumb screws, you can sit and observe through the window and look right at that wind speed indicator and look at the high power and see that mirage if you've got enough view to bring that up. And then you can start to judge that mirage too. But now here's a caveat on that, a warning. Dang, that's Latin. Here's a warning there. Because if you're looking across 1,000 yards, and you'll see this if you've been standing ever at 1,000 yard range and there's some kind of wind, and it isn't just flat as Nebraska, no disrespect Nebraska. But you might be at the shooting line, and well, the flags are barely moving. And you might look out at the flags a third of the way down and they're just perking around a little bit. Then there seem to be tipping toward the right side of the shooting range. And you look the other third down and the flags are, man, they're tipping up pretty good. And you look at the flags at 1,000 yards and they seem to be calm again. There's just some air moving across the center of the range. Or the flags might be moving at your left cheek at the firing line. And they might be starting to turn halfway down. And by the time you're at the 1,000 yards, those flags might be moving away from you. So the longer the distance is, the more variance you might see in wind direction. You're going to have to learn to read that too in order to hit at great distance or at 100 yards with your 22 because you can come to a place where you're sitting and it's calm. But you're looking out there in the last half of the shot, man, the wind's just coming around that little hill that you're enjoying the protection of and that stand of trees, and you're shooting across that open, and you can see there's windage out there the last half of the bullet's flight. So there are so many different variants that, well, every once in a while and now and then you have to engage that. What is that you refer to, Mark? That most sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet, that gray matter between your ears. We now have machines that they expect to be doing 100% of that, and it basically comes back down to what happens when the batteries don't show up. Exactly, but it is another good learning aid, much like the weather station. We've referred to it the beginning of this, the weather station outside, the sensor inside. When you look through the window, you see, man, that's that wind speed, and I can look at the trees and the grass and all of that. But if you're bringing in something like Mark just referred to, you guys, you can gauge range by laser, can't you? But if you're gauging that range by laser, you know that comes back to things like 634 yards, doesn't it? That comes back to things like 813 or 887 yards. Are you paying attention to what you're looking at or just the gauge in front of you? Because this goes back over to repetition, doesn't it Mark? It might come a time from using that laser rangefinder and you're looking out there and you might even be in a different place where you've never deployed that laser rangefinder before but you look at that and you say, I bet you that's 840 yards. Your spotter might say, it's 860. And what do you do Mark? You split the difference don't you? And in constantly watch time to travel and target. Remember, guys, once you pull that trigger, don't start chewing on a piece of bubble gum or opening up a cigarette pack. Stay focused on the objective, especially with your first shot and you're looking at great range because you automatically go through all the rest of the motions. If you're using a gas gun, it's already been done for you. Your spotter should be doing the same thing, especially with extreme range. Your spotter is using that second scope, his either attached weapon scope. He may have a second scope. This is something I've seen that's kind of cool. With an AR, you're only looking at a five pound rifle with an M4 or plastic. Guys, the upper part of the weapon would be heavier if you put like a short range optical or aiming tube or iron sight and then off to the side actually were to mount a more powerful long range rifle scope using it as a spotting scope. for the very purpose we're talking about here. This allows you to call in and help the gunner to dial in his shot based upon conditions, which is the other thing that needs to be done. It doesn't mean that you're both observing and the reason for that is what you observe can be confirmed. You will even call it out to the assistant gunner and he will confirm. You'll confirm or he might put a question mark in there. It appears to me to have hit it at two o'clock. You say one o'clock closer to 12 and no appears to be 2 o'clock confirm on that I can see you know you have a view you can't you talk to each other you literally talk to each other and the response is instantaneous so you compensate accordingly for point of impact and send another round downrange that's how it works again depends on the type of target it depends on your disposition especially at extreme range with harassing or decimating fire where you have again perhaps even multiple targets well their return fire is not going to be all that great to begin with especially if they're carrying a 223 rifles and here you are with a 50 and you're reaching 1000 yards 1200 yards and you're not taking a barrel through the window yeah think about it they don't have anything to observe and there's a whole bunch of mean things you can do to dissipate you know even the sound now in the open you still have a difficulty with that because of the range And here's the thing, are you the only thing shooting on the battlefield? Let's take into consideration that you can even do screening. Other, what you can do is coordinate, this is something we haven't really talked that much about, but if you have a series of sniper teams, you can use other flanking riflemen with 50s to create deception. In other words, there's no way to properly orient where that shot came from. Now you're not wasting bullets, you don't just put a bullet down range. But you coordinate for window of activity on my mark. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Fires engage your targets. And what happens is within that, not instantly, they don't have to fire at once. But by battle chatter being out there, guys, echoes and counter-echoes and secondary deflections makes it almost impossible to identify where that round came from. In addition to all the other small arms fire going on. Again, I'll challenge you. Take a listen to some of the battlefield footage. Notice I said listen, not just look. Listen to the battlefield footage from some of the stuff from the Ukraine. It's excellent. It gives you a better feel for why it is you are constantly aware of your environment. If you can hear it and it's sharper, you're within range of that weapon. Here's another thing we've got to point out. There is no such thing as friendly fire. Another part of observing and remembering things, if you start to hear sharp cracks or you can hear what it is that you find. Is that Michael Bullock going over your head? Yeah, the cracks mean it's really near you. And it could be an allied unit. It could be a friendly two blocks over fighting a group on the ground. Think about it. Think of what your O2-6 can do. We've talked about this even in an urban setting with these cop shootings. I know shootings in Detroit here that one that face off between two cops and two guys that were robbing people going down the street. When they exchanged fire, they found 9mm rounds from the one Smith & Wesson Model 59 six blocks away. 6 blocks going through side by side neighborhoods, going through a house, going through a kitchen sink, going through lodging in a telephone pole, 6 blocks somewhere else. Now it didn't hit a house on every block, but think about that. Think about the lateral motion. That's just a 9mm. Now what do you think that O2-6 is doing? Down the road, Chuck. And that 50? Oh! That's why we talk about the other part about air defense is You have to change your mind about your mental processes about air defense because air defense crewmen are trained this way. They think umbrellas. They don't think line of fire. They think umbrellas. Because remember guys, if you want to plunge fire into a target or through an area, you don't care if you hit him on the tag in or the tag out and even if it's by accident. Did you snag him with a half-inch round as he was going down range in a way and you know you get the rounds maybe not quite as much energy But it still smacks and slaps when it hits and aluminum doesn't hold up very well against a half-inch round Yup, you blame him when he's leaving that just means he's not coming back. Yep So again when we're looking at these are all techniques that are tied into what Don's describing about now
