For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay 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 will 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. You pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report I'm Mark Hernke and butter knife one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, east and south. Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations and ultra net technologies. East and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Chungo, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, and 5th in our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waiting to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson. We turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the smoky, splashed Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, cram-a-teams, okay teams. And the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. I'll tell you what, it's dark outside. We had a wave of high cloud cover roll in. Kind of cool. And lo and behold, kind of darken things up real fast. BK, what's like in your neck of the woods? What's today today? What's jumping off the wall? Over there. It is 7 November 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report and that makes this quarter masters corner. And I have been more or less off the air for the last couple weeks and boy was there a whole bunch of stuff in the last couple weeks so we've got lots and lots of things to talk about. The big news of course is that the midterm elections were completed on Tuesday and the Repikins gained a bunch of seats in the House and the Senate and therefore they're going to get busy immediately and fix everything. I believe you. I believe you. Right, you know, they're gonna get rid of Bobo care and all of that Yeah, if you believe that one I've got a bridge for sale for you. So what we really reasonably can expect is that they will fumble and fool around and Do nothing much and people will be that much more ticked off and as a result we will probably Get it spun by the corporate press as a failure of the replicants and It smells to me like they're setting up Hillary for the next big chair. Remember that the last several election cycles, at least the last 20 or 30 years, every national election has been a sham even before the electronic voting machines What they do is they run the selected candidate against a punch dummy who cannot possibly win. Can we say Kerry? Can we say McCain? Can we say Romney? And so therefore the selected candidate pretty much gets it by default. It's their job to seize the ring, but the ring is placed within their reach by the hidden hand. And it smells right now like they're going to use Jeb Bush as the punch dummy and Hillary as the selected one. That will certainly be interesting and exciting if they do that because I really cannot see us suffering four or eight years of Hillary without, shall we say, a certain amount of excitement. The one thing you probably can expect from the Repikans is that they will push through the XL pipeline. And what I have to say about that is look at the map. Disregard all of the noise and BS they're shoveling around. Oh, it's a jobs program. Oh, it provides cheap energy, blah, blah, blah. Look at the map. Where does the XL pipeline run? It runs from Canada to the port of New Orleans. Did I say the refinery of New Orleans? No. I said the port of New Orleans. What do you do at a port? You refine oil, right? No. You load and you unload stuff. The sole purpose of the pipeline, the XL pipeline, is to make it cheaper for the Canadians to sell their oil to the Chinese. period. In exchange for that, what we do is we give up millions of acres of land, we chop ranches and farms in half, we seize private property, we put up with all kinds of environmental damage and oil spills and so on. Normally we would put up with that in exchange for having the energy, the oil, there's a price to be paid for things. But, and of course, always in these things there are a million little hidden subsidies, so we're going to be paying for this to a large degree out of the public sector as well to create this supposedly private facility. And the sole purpose of it is to save the Canadians a little bit of money when they're shipping their oil to the Chinese to improve their profit margins a little bit. Sounds like a deal to me. Does that sound like a deal to you? Well, year round, by the way, remember by sending it south, the porting facilities have no weather issues to speak of by comparison. And there's a whole bunch of other right away issues. If the can heads are involved, it's like the rail service guys. The Canadians are wanting Americans off the property, period. This is part of their whole scam slash agenda. and I'm pointing this out, remember we have Canadian, we have cops that are Canadian off the main railways here that are issuing trespass tickets for about $498 per person and the Michigan courts are upholding them. Now I hate to tell you what's going to happen with a canned headline running straight through the middle of the country The other thing is while you're talking about this BK up here where we are I've seen just this evening. I think at least six During the break. This was at least six different Ads for the pipeline just since we took break between the two hour and the end this hour. Oh, that doesn't sound rearranged people totally doesn't yeah So they're beating the gong so hard, it's just ringing right now. Well, golly, that's obviously extemporaneous and nobody could have anticipated that. No, yeah, except it's right there in your face. So right on the money, that's exactly what they're doing. And of course, who? Me? They're doing the Alfred P. Newman thing while they're at it, too, which is the only thing everybody should be paying attention to. Right. Meanwhile, oil prices are down and everybody's saying, oh gee, oil prices are down. This is a result of supply and demand and isn't it interesting and wonderful, but it would be a terrible thing if they went down too far, but they're down some and this is a good thing for Americans is going to put all this money in their pockets and blah, blah, blah. Well, funny thing, seems to me, oil prices always go down just before an election and Bear in mind that the stuff that's been going on in Europe is still going on in Europe. What's going on right now is that we, the Western powers, the vampires that have thorough control of our economies, are waging an economic war on Russia. the facts on the ground have not changed. The propaganda campaign is, oh, the Russians stole Crimea from Ukraine. And we have to get even with them for that. Well, yeah, right, get even with them. The reason that you apply pressure to another country is that you want them to do something or to not do something. Russia is not going to let go of Crimea, so it doesn't matter what you do to them, it's not going to generate that result. You do not apply pressure to somebody if you know that you are not going to get the result that the pressure is intended to provide. So, what else might be underway? Well, we've discussed this before. The vampires' plan is to collapse Western civilization to create a new empire centered on China and to basically rule the planet in that fashion. This time it's not the Roman Empire surrounding the Mediterranean. It is not Babylon. controlling the Euphrates River Valley. It is intended to be China controlling the entire mud ball. They cannot have a free and powerful Russia sitting on their porters, able to defend itself, able to operate independently, and participating in Western civilization. Western civilization might not collapse on schedule the way it's supposed to. They have to have Russia broken and reduced to the status of being a resource node under control of the Chinese Empire. This is what they are working towards right now. All of this financial warfare is intended to do exactly that. Their first move was to try to seize the warm water port in Sevastopol and they failed. Putin outfoxed them in that regard. So they're going to plan B, which is the big hammer, the big crude, clumsy, stupid financial warfare approach. And that is hideously expensive. tremendously destructive to the Western European economies. And the EU is actually a bigger economy than the US. It's got more people than the US and so on. And it is being gouged. It is already in bad shape. It's got an aging population. It's got all sorts of problems. There's far too much social welfare, all that kind of good stuff. Here, they are damaging it further by using those economies as the cannon fodder in this financial warfare. The population there is getting a little bit unhappy about that, but their opinions, as is usually the case in all societies, but especially in Europe, Do not matter. Only the rulers desires and opinions matter. So the European economies and countries are being savaged by this whole warfare against Russia purely to accomplish a goal that benefits only the vampires' plans for China to become the planetary ruler. And all of these people are being sold down the river. So don't think that just Americans are being screwed over big time. everybody is a candidate for that sort of treatment, not just us. The Europeans are taking their turn right now. It'll be anybody that gets in the way of the plan. We're watching history in progress. You live in interesting times and all this kind of good stuff. This is what's going on. Expect the oil prices to be held down for a while because that is a major aspect of the vampire attack on Russia. Now, Putin is no saint. No country is saintly. Every country, including our own, has scumbags in it. There are no pure cases, but this is very, very much evil in action. We are watching it right now. and we are listening to the propaganda. Do you have comments on that? Oh no, it's exactly. They're in motion to try. The biggest problem they've got is that they're playing a very patient game with regard to the east-west Ukrainian conflict. The eastern Ukrainian forces actually have their act together and they're doing it with minimal resources, which is really PO-ing the, I think, the sheisters to death. It's similar to the Hezbollah situation. Certainly they're getting support from more than just the Russians, by the way. That's something that nobody wants to admit. There's a lot of other countries in that particular stretch of real estate that have a vested interest in not seeing things expand to their north. Big hint there as to who might be helping out. But Serbia is certainly tied in with Russia on this. And so Serbia can provide a lot of resources. without Russia being directly tagged. And I would point out again, a lot of what Serbia can produce and provide is actually superior to what the Russians build. So there's a lot of other countries just off to the other side of that puddle of water that the Crimea is part of that they have an interest in dealing perhaps behind the curtain in some ways. And it's obvious in looking at the weapons. There's a lot of stuff showing up guys. It's not Russian, but it's Russian oriented. and the telltale signature is especially in the shoulder fired weapons that appear to be mostly Serbian and or Bulgarian and I think the most interesting thing is the Bulgarian stuff that's showing up because you might recall the Bulgarians and the others there are supposed to be kind of aligned with NATO but the Bulgarian stuff is showing up in force That's a big flare for me. Now I would point out that years ago Bulgaria was actually building the AK-74 rifles at their TS, their top secret plant, because they were better barrels than the Russians were making. So they contracted a bunch of AK-74s. to be built with the Bulgarian custom barrels which were a very, very high-tech and very accurate barrel. One of the reasons that a lot of those AK-74s and AK-47s are having their barrels chopped is because contrary to what most people don't realize, they're superior to what was being built in the West. So there's a whole lot of other games that are part of the subroutine being played here. They don't have to have tit for tat, but if they know how to work it better than the other side, the eastern end of the Ukraine can hold its own and can actually start punching back harder. Well, all they want to do is hold real estate though. They're not trying to take anybody else's. And I think, BK, that's what's really going to mess with the bad guys, because They're hoping to get this pushing and shoving, pissing match going on where the Eastern Ukrainians decide to quote unquote take Kev when they don't have any interest in it. So it's a very lopsided game of oppression. And meanwhile, the Kiev regime has done such a terrible job of running everything and bobbled everything. Wait till winter sets in and people are freezing. They have actually agreed to a new bargain with the Russians about gas. They realized that if they don't clean up their act and get something going, their one major industry Aside from farming, their one major industry is managing that pipeline and if they blow that up, they've cut their own throats. So they've cut a deal with the Russians that they get a heavy discount on gas, but they've got to pay back the amount owed already and they're going to a cash on delivery or cash in advance type arrangement. I think that that's kind of inevitable. The people downstream from that pipeline basically have to become involved paying the Russians at the front end and then them applying pressure to the Kiev regime to actually pass the gas along, not siphon it all. So that's going along. Part of the alibi for quote low end quote oil prices is that all the dollar is so strong. The economy is wonderful. The Republicans are going to fix everything and so on and so forth. All we have to do is go ahead and let Bobo issue his 15 million green cards and so on and so forth. The dollar does appear to be strong to a degree, but I would say that this is the tallest midget in the room effect. It's not so much that the dollar is strong as everybody else is even worse. That brings us right back to that economic warfare and the economic damage that is being done to the Europeans by being part of that economic warfare. In order to keep the illusion going, the vampires have been manipulating metal prices down for a long while. Then you add in this little bump of artificially strong dollar that's a very temporary thing, but it is the fact right now in relative terms. And the end result is the metal prices have dropped considerably. So we are now at the astonishing point of seeing $15 silver, which means that at the retail end, eagles can be had for $19 at retail. So I will point out to anybody, this is of course bad for people that have these resources and are occasionally cashing them out for operating funds. But those people who have FRNs in adequate supply, this is a good buying opportunity. This will not remain in effect for terribly long. Comments? I've been up to other things. It has been a couple of weeks and regular listeners will know that old BK is dealing with a, you know, my dad is less than mentally coherent now. And so I make a point of getting him out of the old folks home once a week. And we go out and we see movies and stuff. As such, I've been seeing more of the theatrical releases. than have been my want in previous years. So here are a couple of quickie reports. We saw Fury recently and I can generally give that a thumbs up. That is a tank movie featuring the Sherman's and they are truthful about the Sherman saying, well, yeah, you know, they were kind of pathetically poor tanks but we had a lot of them. And so, you know, they one-on-one against the German tanks were a problem, but there were lots of ours and eventually we won in large quantity. Like most reasonably authentic or by intention authentic type movies, I would say that every battlefield has plenty of course language. By definition, Boy Scouts were our instruction in course language. We weren't being shot at or anything, just the rigors of cutting ourselves and falling on things and burning ourselves. It was an introduction and exercise in course language. I would say that Fury is a little bit unrealistic in that regard, there is a vast amount of that sort of course language, and it sounds like 2014 course language, not 1944 course language. So in that regard, it kind of gave a bit of a lie to the color that they tried to add to it. You know, many, many F-bombs, F-bombs were not that routine in 1945. There were different expletives in use. But aside from that, not a bad flick, there was an interesting scene there in which two tanks were in a battle and they were racing around in circles, everybody trying to get a rear shot. That did remind me a little bit of some of my mech warrior days. We did exactly the same thing. We would be in the circle of death, we would call that, when everybody's trying to get a shot at the other guy's rear. and no innuendo intended there. Run, turn, run, turn, reverse, turn, hard left, turn, turn, turn, turn, almost got him, turn, turn, blam, oh man, glancing shot, keep going, keep going, all that kind of good stuff. So that was an interesting little scene in there. The other flick that I saw recently, and this is a different style, was John Wick. I would give thumbs up to that one as an action-adventure type movie. There was some silly stuff in there. Short form is that the main character, a fellow named John Wick, is some super-duper world-famous assassin who is retired. Some bad stuff happens and he becomes more active trying to settle affairs. So I won't go into too much of that. There is a little thread of those evil Russians causing trouble, so that may be contemporaneous and perhaps even synchronized with the vampire agendas. since his opponents were Russians. But that wasn't the main thrust of the movie. There's a little bit of silly stuff in there, a little bit of fantasy. It turns out that in this movie there is a worldwide chain of assassin hotels where the amenities available include a surgeon on hand 24 hours a day and removal of corpses and things of this sort. There's an awful lot of services being paid for by a single eagle or a krugarand or something along those lines. Contemporaneously, a single one ounce gold coin is not going to buy the sort of services that they seem to buy in the movie, so that is a little bit silly. On the other hand, there was a great deal of adventure and fighting and so on. Most of it close quarters battles and that was fairly interesting. Like most martial arts movies, it was clearly very carefully and very intensively choreographed. No actual flesh and blood person could do as much move, shoot, acquire target, shoot, move, acquire target, and so on. One after another after another without slipping up, missing an enemy, getting hit, falling over a table or something along those lines as our hero did. But you expect a certain amount of that from Bruce Lee or John Wick or whoever. the hero of an action movie may be. I did notice an interesting thing and that is while there were some fist fights and knife fights and even a few scenes with car beans and a certain amount of full auto 223 and things of this sort, the vast majority of the combat in this movie was piece de l'aireau work, auto loaders presumably 9 millimeters. And the interesting thing about that was that there was a combination of grips and IKEDO type soft martial arts stuff along with the pistol work. When the hero, or a bad guy for that matter, was at two feet range, if he had a pistol in his hand, he didn't drop the pistol and play fisticuffs, he used the pistol. even at very, very short range or occasionally at unrealistic, late long range. But there wasn't too much of this nonsense where Barnaby Jones with a two-inch revolver would pick somebody off the top of a power pylon or something along those lines. They were realistic in that regard. But that was kind of interesting in that regard. I would call some of that combat remarkably plausible in fact not that you necessarily want to let an enemy get that close to begin with but if you're in the thick of them be pragmatic about the utility of that pistol because it is still an effective weapon even at two feet range you know do not go applying the pistol butt to an enemy if you can still discharge something out of the barrel So, that is my comment on that film. I don't know whether you've seen it or not. Do you have comments? I've seen some of the promos on it. It looks like it would be pretty interesting. Again, it's one of those worthy special assassin hotels. Remember, all services provided. Menu A, Menu B, corpse delivery C, or disposal B. Yeah, like in the La Famicita series, they should get on the phone and call for housekeeping. They didn't use the term housekeeping, but they had the same sort of thing. They'd get on the phone and they'd say, I need to make reservations dinner for 12. And that meant they had 12 corpses to remove. And some guys would show up with minivans and tarps and cleaning supplies, and they'd be in and out in 30 minutes. So, you know, that was a little bit silly, but, you know, okay, fine. We'll do that. Oh, I stumbled across some of my notes and I got something a little bit out of sequence. Another aspect of the propaganda war that we're seeing, the latest little bit of news, according to Hamsek, the people who are looking out for us so carefully and seeing to the security of the homeland, I'm calling them Hamsek because it sounds kind of like Gestapo and I think that's appropriate. According to Homsack, Russian hackers have invaded the energy distribution system in America, at least since 2011, and they can threaten the supply chain. So, if any economic disasters or crises occur, it's clearly the fault of Russian hackers who have been busily at work infiltrating and corrupting our electrical grid. And how do they do that? They do that through putting back doors in all the equipment that we buy from Russia. Wait a minute. Isn't it China that we're buying all this equipment from? Well, it's the Russians' fault, whatever it is. That's what's going on. The Russians. But the Chinese did it, the Russians. Shut up about whether or not. Who did build all this junk, sir, or whether it wasn't the Russians? Doops. Again. Well, it doesn't mean the Chinese couldn't sell them the back door. Why would they? The Chinese have an interest in the vampire agenda. They have their own mission and they have their own purpose in life and they certainly apply them to. Go ahead please. Okay, some of the regular stuff. I did a quick survey of the powder situation. We're doing well on powder this week. Fair number of choices available. If you like the LT32, that's fairly expensive, but it's a wide range, versatile and high grade powder. Grass has that at $214 and Powder Valley at $190. LT32 is not a bad choice if you've got the money for it. And if you need something that's reasonably versatile, as a .223 powder, the $4320 is available. I'm graphs at 173 and Powder Valley at 154. We're only talking about 8 pound jugs here. It's a little bit silly to go to 1 pound containers unless you are absolutely, totally desperate. Accurate Arms has the XMR 2495 out there. That is a 308 powder and it is a fairly new one on the market but both graphs and Powder Valley have it. Graphs at 184 and Powder Valley at 164. That $20 price differential is very, very consistent. You suppose maybe they actually kind of watch each other's prices? Maybe. With as small as the market is, now they have to be. Of course. We noticed that when one of them gets something, the other one tends to get the same something. They're working off the same suppliers or manufacturers or whatnot, and probably have the same throwaway, which means that they have the same priority for shipments. If one gets a shipment, they probably both get a shipment. Another option available for the 308 crowd is IMR 4166. Now that is another of the fairly newer powders. It's growing at premium prices, 204 at Graf's and 183 at Powder Valley. The thing that's interesting about that is that it is designed for 308 and similar powders, but it is described as being temperature compensated. which suggests that if the billing is correct, and I can't tell you from direct experience, that should see much, much less variation. due to weather conditions using in a cold, winter or arctic conditions versus hot summer type conditions. That may be the case. Oops, I'm getting a little bit of frog in the throat. But that is IMR 4166, available at both graphs and Powder Valley. And supposedly, one of the newer varieties of powder, which is supposed to be temperature compensated. So that might be of interest to people looking into. Both of them have Hodgson Super Performance, so if you need shot shell powder or might want to try adapting that for pistol use, they both have Super Performance Grass at 162 and Powder Valley at 144. That's Hodgson Super Performance. And they both seem to have some inventory in the normal powder line. I'm not familiar enough with the Norma to tell you which one might be of interest. for a particular caliber so I'll just mention that they both seem to have that in inventory at the moment. So, take that for what it's worth. Now, we do have a comedy section in this evening's program. It's going to be a brief comedy section, but we've got one. There is an item that I'm not going to recommend to people to buy, but I do recommend people to take a look at and laugh at. At Goldmine Electronics, that is goldmine-elec.com. or goldmine-elec-products.com. Either one will get you to the same price. There is an interesting item. They have, you have all seen road signs that are made out of LEDs. And one of the things they're offering for $20 are some of these road signs. that are not general purpose programmable ones but rather have a single message on them. The single message is slow down and it is spelled out in LEDs on the boards. Why are they selling these things? Because each of these have bullet holes in them. Apparently, these are not terribly popular among the locals wherever they've been posted and they have accumulated bullet holes. So, Goldmine Electronics is selling you these road signs with lots of LEDs on there that you can peel off and play with for a relatively cheap price because the signs have bullet holes in them. I think the public is speaking on its general attitude and degree of patience with the establishment. So, I consider that a little bit of a comic relief. Here you can buy these signs with lots of LEDs on them. Perfect good working order except for a couple of bullet holes. I would be willing to bet southern states or western plain states. That would be the first guess. Yeah, most likely. Okay, and there are a couple of things that are straight items at Electronic Gold Mine. They are running a special right now, Good through the Ninth. They are offering one of these five-unit battery packs. That is five AA batteries all stuck into a single battery pack. They are undoubtedly tab-style batteries. If you took this thing apart, you would have tab-style batteries, so you'd have to do something to use these for a general purpose. But for $1.50, they are offering a nickel metal hydride battery pack that consists of five AA batteries and a connector. Yeah, 30 cents a piece equivalent for those batteries, even if they are tab style. That is a good offering. Their usual price is what, $6 or something? That are five or six. I do not consider their regular price of five or six dollars to be a good price, but at $1.5 that is. So that is a short run sale. Remember, Goldmine is this outfit that's bouncing the prices around all the time up and down, up and down specials. They give you these specials, they take away the specials and so on and so forth. So, pass on their stuff when they're offering you a very, very good deal because bear in mind also that they gouge you on shipping. And they always default to a more expensive shipping than one of the available options. So keep a close eye if you place an order with them. Do not just click straight through. They will go postal service instead of UPS or UPS instead of postal. I forget which is which, but they are charging you not only outrageous prices for the shipping, but they are also going to default you into a mode of shipping that's higher than the least expensive one they offer. So keep close tabs on these guys if you place an order. But feel free to place an order as long as you're aware of what they're up to and strike on these sail items. This particular sail item right now is one of these five-cell battery packs, nickel metal hydride, buck and a half of the pack. Comments? Again, if you're looking for rechargeables to replace batteries in, for instance, LED lighting, If you are looking for a piece of equipment to upgrade or switch out from NICAD to nickel hydride, there you go. More of the nickel hydride is starting to show up in greater quantity in surplus. just by the nature of the industry guys. There's still NiCads out there but nickel hydride and the new, what is it, the ion or the latest thing being pushed hard so those... Well, lithium ions have been around for a long time. They have different charging requirements and so on. Right. They're dangerous. You know, they're the preferred mode for cell phones and laptops. Nickel metal hydride is an in-between state. You're getting more power density than a NiCad. They do have different charging profiles, but they are sort of the pragmatic approach right now if you've got the right kind of charger for them. Purely a matter again of what they're deciding to buy in the industry, which is why we have to be careful. And that's why we want to recommend pay attention because there are a number of different rechargeable batteries offered. And that's one of the things that is most critical is knowing the technology and understand what you need to support it. The nickel hydride, the nightcads, a lot of you guys like myself, I have a whole bunch of little solar lights out here. I picked up a whole bunch of those little bundles like that, disassembled them, and replaced with brand new batteries, lights that have been in service for like six, seven years. The solar cells work, the fixtures are crude and simple. But the batteries get tired. It's just they get older and out in the weather all year round 365 days a year for two or three years at a time. Pretty good service for a dollar a unit. Actually, if you're doing the LED yard light, there's some reason to suspect that the NiCads may actually be a better choice for that, especially since they're exposed to cold and so on. But the nickel metal hydrides I would use for radio or flashlight use, that sort of stuff. And you may find that you just don't have a choice. You have to make do. You will, if you're swapping a battery in a device that's designed for NiCads, then you might have to do some things to change the charging profile if you're swapping in a nickel metal hydride. So the NiCads have some value as replacement parts for those yard lights because in general those even the new ones still are NiCads and that's a better choice for that use. But the nickel metal hydride... I have a question. Go ahead, caller. What do we have? I'm not fluffy. I'm here in the deep south and Aren't signs supposed to be Bennett magnets? You mean they don't come from our actually... Our metal ones are up here. I mean I do admit that. Our metal ones are bullet magnets. I just figured the lighter ones may have just drawn like, you know, bullets like moths to the flame. I don't know. Yeah. Pretty much. Oh yeah, I think you got one, but they're not going out. Well that's the other question. BK, do they acknowledge that they actually illuminated all or are they dead? Well, they don't say. I mean, I understand the only deal is... I imagine that the circuitry is disrupted enough to have taken them out of service because they probably didn't notice that there was a bullet hole until the thing stopped lighting up. Right, and what's that one? Oh, not another one of those. Oh, man. Well, we've got a pile of them to sell later, which they did sell at Surplus, obviously. It's pretty cool. So, go ahead. Okay, there's another item at Goldmine Electronics, also a sale item. They are offering a 10 watt LED plate. It's one of these little rectangular guys. This one is, they're quite bright. If you look at them, you will be reminded of childhood misadventures with the family slide projector. That's how bright these things can be. You will need to fasten them to a heat sink of some sort. either a large mass of metal or some you know a CPU cooler or something along those lines but these have the benefit they are 10 watts which means they're very bright and they operate at a nominal 12 volts which is a convenient voltage. Do not Repeat, do not just connect these across your automotive power supply and expect them to work properly. When they say 12 volts or 11 to 12 volts, they mean 11 to 12 volts. They don't mean 14 volts. And your car's power supply will operate at a nominal 12 volts when the engine's not running. But if the battery is charging, it will run it up to 13.8 or 14.1 or whatever it is it does. And that'll be too much for these guys. So you do not want to run these in an automotive application. unless you're willing to place a protection circuit of some sort around the device. Be that as it may if you're running off of batteries, 12 volts will light these things up and man are they bright. At two and a half dollars apiece that is a good price for these. Normally they want six and six is an acceptable price but two and a half is good. So, as always, they say limit quantity to five at sale price. That means they've got a boatload. Whenever Goldmine Electronics says limit five, that means please, please buy five because we've got too many of this. If you see something that's limit five or limit ten or something like that, I guarantee you'll be seeing it for the next three, four, five weeks on their site. That means they just have too many of them. They don't know what to do. This is about consumer psychology and marketing. If you can only buy five, what that really means is they're desperately hoping that somebody will buy that many. So, two and a half dollars a piece. They are offering a 10 watt cool white LED plate. And those are really neat little gadgets. I've played with the 20 watts and some 10 watts and so on. And that is a heck of an option. for utility lighting. Just be sure you do not provide them with more than 12 volts because they're not as resistant to that sort of abuse as a filament bulb is. Okay? Goldmine Electronics, 10 watt LED, 2.5 bucks a piece, limit 5 for the time being. And again, take advantage of this. A lot of other things you have there is what you get to the page, peruse the page. You might see something we missed. and bring it up on the air. We don't just do this on Friday, we do this all through the week. So if you run into something, give us a heads up, we'll swoop down on it ourselves and pick up some more. A couple things real quick here. We're headed towards the top. Let me stick one more in this very similar before we finish. I will remind people once again, remember how we were ragging on you about gas masks and filters and then they went out of availability and now people are saying, oh man, what do I do? And Mark is busy trying to find people with M10 filters and things of this sort to make up the gap. BG Micro still has the CR123A batteries at 75 cents a piece if you buy 10 or more. That is a wasting asset. They have a big load of them but they're not going to be getting any more of that big load. They cleaned out that source. So I'm going to remind you once again the CR123A batteries with an expiration date of 2020 are available at the dirt cheap bargain price 75 cents a piece. If you buy 10 or more from BeeGene Micro, that is bravogolfmicro.com. That's what you will want to use for an awful lot of your night vision stuff, your illuminators. There are a few other things like some high-tech flashlights and laser designators and so on that use those. But the night vision is the prime market for that. Okay, go ahead Mark. Again, real quick on that, go through the different sources. Always check the clearance close outs and sales just to see what might be the last of. A lot of these places do last ofs. And when it says last of, it probably is. So if you're thinking about it and you're familiar with it, then you might want to pick up what you need and that way you won't be lamenting later, maybe I should have gotten more. Well, maybe so, but they're gone. Anyway, real quick here, a reminder again, as was pointed out about the gas masks, filters or masks, commit to the system and, you know, again, make sure that you at least have a mask per person right now. You're going to have to shop around. I can't even point you to a particular direction that can be guaranteed to have the inventory. I warned everybody about the next half of what just happened footfall-wise. A lot of these companies are drop shippers. They don't have an inventory. So you saw all these different items on the page, but then it's like some people are complaining. Somebody complained to me today while I was out and about. Well, I ordered stuff from Sportsman's Guide and they said it could be six months to nine weeks. Six weeks to nine weeks before I get the product because it's technically out of stock. I had to explain to them, I said, well, that's because they don't have it. They never did. and what their job is telling them is that well yeah we got some on the way or the probably told her in a cab other words are somewhere in a container ship on the way you know to the u.s. how long it takes come through customs they'll eventually get the camera open up most or everything out but uh... again you'll notice if you go to the different They have also thinned out what they are offering. Now there is a reason for that because now the wholesale market has caught up with their drop ship customers. And they are now explaining that's gone, that's gone, that's gone, this is gone, that's gone too and those are gone too. So you are going to see some companies that are like, well Mark I saw they had a blah blah blah mask. Yes, because they are the ones who went out and it's kind of like gold futures versus having gold. The dropshippers are like gold futures. Well, in theory, I would have 600 of these. Somebody else has them on the shelf, so I have 600. Well, the problem is somebody else went out and talked to the company and said, do you have 600 of those? And they said, yes, I do. And they bought them. And now that company has those masks, or they have the filters, or they have the chem suits. Chem suits are destroyed. I mean, they're just eaten up. I'm looking right now, as a matter of fact, I just pulled this up because when you started on the subject of the suppliers, there was one chem suit, as I mentioned, left. And I talked to them today and they said they weren't sure and they'd be reposting on the page. So I'm going to find out right now if they're even left. They still have a very small quantity and it is limited of the check. This isn't the wholesale end. This is not the retail end. It's the Czech chem suits, they still have those left because if they were posting them this evening, he told me, then they still had some technically on the books. And that's it. There's no other chem suits that I can find anywhere that are in any good wholesale price or quantity. To be quite honest, the best price for a lot of the odds and ends is still main military guys. Main military is the Mark III Anarach tops, which I like using for cold weather gear. I just pulled mine out of the basket here because I just washed it. The one I've been trying to beat to death for 15 years. You know what? It's still held together, which I think is a testament to this equipment to begin with. I haven't checked their site recently. Last time I looked, they had the M10 filters at $8 a set. I don't know if that's still current or not. Again, check to see if they have them in stock and you can always call them and find out for sure to place your order. That's the big thing. Remember they do have a retail store. Some of the stuff is in their warehouse area with a new building and some of it's out on the floor. It's what they have in inventory for stock. That's again, mainmilitary.com. I'll give everybody an update as we go. Another thing I have noticed real quick here and now BK will cover whatever's left. Gov Liquidation at Uncle Sam's retail outlet. This is the first time we've ever seen this. I don't trust the government on this, to be quite honest. But they're selling through the retail, Uncle Sam's retail outlet, they're selling MRE meals. And it's the newest menus, which I think is rather fascinating. So just a heads up, you can go to Uncle Sam's retail outlet and peruse what they have. It looks like either eight or 10 menus available. But you got to remember that the feds have used this as a scam to attack people. Well, you must have stolen these MREs because they're government MREs. Well, no, they're sold by the government MREs and that's happened for years. This is one of the scams the feds have done for decades. So it's one of those things that just a heads up. On the one hand, the head is selling it and the tail is going to try and screw somebody on it. Yes, so if you choose to buy those, take a copy of paperwork and tape it to each of the boxes. How's that? Put it right inside. In fact, that is one of the tricks we learned a long time ago is guys duplicate, duplicate, duplicate. That way you can stuff it up your arse right away. Really? Well, you know what? Because it'll also grab stuff and then say, well, prove it. Well, they'll use that as claiming probable cause for other stuff. And if they saw the paperwork and lied about it and you catch them, then you can put their feet to the fire. Exactly. It would be done that way. So again, take a look. There were some other items, the deal of the day. Before we forget, one of our callers brought this up in the tour block. Deal of the day at Uncle Sam's retail outlet. They've got double mag, three colored desert, M16 mag pouches, double mag for like $3 going on four. Take a look at those and they also have some ACU camouflage pouches, universal types. Check those out too. So anyway, go ahead and jump in there BK. I just want to get those out before we go to the top. Yeah, a few things. Okay, one of the topics that has been discussed recently in the last few days was alcohol stoves, these little penny stoves and so on. So anybody that's interested in the penny stoves, there's a website that talks about how to build them. This is a tiny URL, dot six, hotel, Papa Romeo, Sierra, Hector, 1. echo Victor. Now these guys talk about how to build these things yourselves and they lament the fact that Heineken has changed their beer cans and discuss various ways that you can produce these out of soda cans and other things and so on and so forth. And that's all very fine. And these are nice little field expedient means of producing a little aluminum hockey puck that you pour some alcohol or whatnot into and use as a camp stove. so far so good. They also talk about ways that you can put one part in the freezer and another part in the oven and try to get them to expand and contract and push them together in that fashion or glue them or whatnot so on and so forth. You can do all of those things. I would suggest that if anybody out there has a lathe, and I'm sure that some of our friends do, it would not be hard to make dyes for drawing a soda can another few thousandths smaller than it originally was because a soda can is originally a deep drawn item. It is a selected alloy designed for easy drawing. So if you took away then you made a little constriction die that is designed to take a soda can of your choice and squeeze it down another few thousandths that and your arbor press and you want to have an arbor press will put you in a position to take a soda can, squeeze it down a little bit and now that is slightly smaller than its twin soda can and you can slide those together and make anything you want. So anybody is really really interested in these these aluminum soda can style camp stoves you can use the crude methods that they describe of squeezing things and chilling things and trying to push them together and slopping JB Weld all over it and things like that. Or if you really want to do a slick job, you could make a little bit of tooling of your own and go ahead and do a really professional job and slide these things together and make them work. The other comment I have... is that they do not recommend rubbing alcohol as fuel because even though it's so easily available, most of it is 70%, therefore it has 30% water and can sputter a little bit. Well, two things. One, you can get 90% isopropyl from the drugstore and that works much better. The other thing is there's an old technique called salting out. Basically a chemist would say you are breaking the azeotrope. Here's a Mr. Science experiment you can play with rubbing alcohol. Get yourself a nice transparent bottle because you want to be able to see what's in there. Three quarters fill it up with isopropyl and throw some table salt in there. Okay, cork it up, shake it up, set it down on the table and just sit back and watch. Within a very few minutes you will see that you have a bunch of excess salt down on the bottom of the thing. and you have a boundary, a visible boundary. There will be some cloudy fluid on the bottom and there's some crystal clear fluid on the top. What happens is that table salt does a very weird thing to that kind of alcohol and water mixture and makes it separate. And if you pour off the super clear stuff on the top, you'll find that is very nearly pure isopropyl alcohol and what the cloudy water at the bottom is actually salty water. So all it takes is some table salt. to take your 70 or 90% isopropyl from the drugstore and refine it down to almost 100% isopropyl which makes a very very good fuel for these little camping stoves. So disregard their stuff about how all you have to buy this kind of alcohol and methanol and this blah blah blah blah blah. You can use isopropyl. All you have to do is salt it out is the old fashioned expression. Just add some table salt, you shake it up, you wait for it to settle, and then you pour off the very, very refined pure isopropyl at the top. And I do the same thing when I'm making my own electronic solder flux. I have a nice 10 pound bag of pine rosin, and I just make my own liquid flux. I don't see any reason to pay $10 for a 4 ounce bottle of something when I can have, you know, pounds and pounds, and many lifetime supply. for a relatively small number of dollars. But you can do the same thing for these fuels. So all you have to do to break the Azeotrope is you add some table salt, you shake it up, and you sit back and you watch it through the clear bottle and you will be able to see the separation. And it's quite a remarkable little effect. You can amaze your friends and neighbors and you can talk about nice big words like Azeotrope. And we're at the top by the way real quick on that note the new spun Longer neck they're a heavier hull Beer cans that are coming out. They have a actually a screw top on them guys They've been off for a little while tougher and more metal to work with to build something with see my own experiment that direction and again Cost of a beer can 10 cents or free if you pay attention to people throwing them out depending what state you're in We're at the top as always God bless the Republic Death to the New World Order.
