I'll put it someplace where they're going to find metal or where it'll be harder to tell that that's what it is. Like if you're digging a fence post hole, why not put it right along the fence? Looks like if you come across it, it looks like it could be an old fence post. Right. Or you can also, another form of camouflage is some type of furnace or stove or something. You put it in there. So yeah, there's metal all around. It picks up the metal, but it doesn't pick up the fact that you got gold in there. So there's a lot of ways you can hide it certainly inside a refrigerator somewhere, you know, packed in where you chewed out some insulation and you stuffed some gold coins in there or whatever. There's lots of ways to hide things, but just beware that again, the bottom line is you've got contraband. So what good is to have it if you don't have your water and food and shelter and all those sort of things already lined up. Then what point of it what point is having the gold because you might not be able to get those things later with that gold That's that's the whole theme behind this program tonight I want you to understand that you need to be prepared before you buy these metals including copper Any type of metal you need to be prepared. So that's the bottom line is yeah, there's lots of ways to hide it and lots of ways to And to trade it and use it later But be very careful because things could be so bad because the press will spin it. All them evil patriots, don't you know, they ruined our economy. And they're actually out there running using real metals and, God, we're trying to get this money system off the ground and them evil patriots, and they got to turn them evil patriots because they're destroying our ability to make this system work that we want to make work. That's what they're going to spin it as if it becomes to this. So, my show here is about over with. I thank everybody for listening. By the way, I was not on Ustream tonight. I should have said something earlier. I didn't have an internet connection that I only phone. I'm actually in Virginia right now on the road. And we'll be doing a show in Fredericksburg, Virginia this weekend, a gun show in Fredericksburg, Virginia this weekend, if you're listening on November the 12th. And then the following weekend, Shantley, Virginia. And then after that, my schedule is wide open. I don't know what's going on in December. I got some things lined up in January but nothing in the form yet. So, check the schedule for good knowledge.info. And until then, I thank everybody for listening. And just a big thank you for Good Knowledge. Thanks for listening. And so long. of the Revolution. Thank you for listening to Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrant flavored 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. It's a number you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. 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 moved. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as fire and trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free and home? and good evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report i'm r kirky and i'm don betcher one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories west central east and south well ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. To the bottom of Florida across the arch of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Big John, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, 5th, and 5th. and 13 sisters on the left side of the state of Colorado, the recall state. Waving to our friends out there on the Pacific side, the great state of Jefferson and many others, we turn back across the plains, leap quickly and early over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies, where the restaurant gurus, grandma teams, okay teams, and the model grandma of consortium bring us the gold. And Spike, Don, what is the day today, sir? What's jumping off the wall up there in your neck of the woods? What is this special day? Mark, it is the 12th day of November, year of our Lord 2014. was chilly and it was windy and it's going to be colder tomorrow. So watch out for that 13th day of November. But again, it's today's the 12th day of November, or at least tomorrow's not Friday. Ah, year of our Lord 2014. It is a particular day and, you know, the strike down the middle of the week and all of that. Well with 1911 in one hand with an empty magazine magazine on the other hand, you know, there's a particular technique I showed it to a friend of mine the other day because he grabbed a magazine like you grab the the gun itself once you are actually holding the gun, you know, you've got three fingers around the Pistol grip and you've got the other finger forward of the trigger guard and he grabbed the magazine the same way and he brought it up to the to the magazine well and he wiggled it around a little bit and finally he got it in there and then he shifted his hand around to the bottom and with his fingertips he kind of pushed it in there. And it worked but you know what you can reference that so many times and get it right or get it wrong so many different ways. When you hold your gun, your handgun in your left hand as Don does or in your right hand as most people do Hey, that magazine is going to lay in your fingers the butt of the magazine. If it's got a floor plate, if it's got a, you know, a bumper, a rubber bumper, that's going to be right where your knuckles start to fold into your palm. And that magazine is going to be cradled with your little finger and your index finger. So you have the most certain index of where that magazine is. When you bring it to the plane that is your palm, You have recognition from one part of your body to another, not from metal to metal. It almost slides right in there. Then the magazine goes home. Then you touch that slide release. Now we got one in the chamber and we can say, oh, that's a hot gun. There, that's condition A. That's a Type 1 gun. But it is weapons. Wednesday, the perimeter is secure and you know there's plenty more where that came from. And that means we can offer equal opportunity, coercive force, the ability to be able to retain Our personal perimeter potential for destruction by use of the hand cannon. And of course you can get a little closer. You can either turn around and use the butt to beat him to death within arm's reach or break out the fighting knife. It's nice to have the .45 in its original format utilized for shoving almost half inch pellets down range and perforating somebody else's carcass with them. So, again, remember, that's why the hand cannons are kids. Knowing how to use it or how to make it work under any circumstances is your obligation if you wish to retain control of the battlefield. Yep. That's our concern. Now, real quick on that note, 1911s, by the way, well, it's interesting because prices have not really been coming down. The 1911s that are out there, it's been an up and down rise in availability, needless to say. But center fire system seems to be the one being able to keep the Rock Island and the Armscore 45s in general in service or we have them in stock for a pretty good price and Again still hasn't changed been pretty consistent around the $400 mark will get you a 1911 a little less little more some days but You're looking at a completely compatible, all parts interchangeable, 1911 type system that'll get the job done. So just something to take into consideration there as definitely a useful solution. The 1911 hand cannon has been around for 113 years old officially. Now it's been around longer than that actually because it's in prototype and different developmental and actually designated forms but the 1911 is the polished one. Yeah it came up through the ranks as they say. Worked progressively from one step to the next and there are a couple of models that were still out there in significant production before the 1911 that were called the original Colt models. that even when I was growing up, in my 20s, you could still run into the McDon shows. You'll see them in some gangster movies too. Very few and far between and pretty well non-existent now, but back in the late 60s and 70s, guys, we could run into those and a lot of the other stuff that now, well, of course it has been 40, 50 years ago, 40 years ago at least. They were coming out of the woodwork still. Grandpa's guns or somebody had him in a closet or whatever. I remember years ago one gentleman who was a span am vet, he passed away in the middle 70s as a matter of fact. Well, 77-78. He had a matching set. I don't think they weren't close in the serial number. In other words, they weren't like one after the other. But he had a matching set of pre-1911s. Apparently, he had collected them having been with the Marine Corps back about the time that they first went into the Philippines. That was one of the weapons that he carried well. He liked it a lot, so he had accumulated a few. Then the 1911 came out, but he had never gotten rid of these two guns, and they showed up at the Ypsilanti Armory at the gun show there. Fortunately, a guy that I know that is a... Colt aficionado got hold of both of them and they didn't get you know The person got a very good price for them he understood exactly what they were worth and the guy was very happy to pay the price You know, but they were for their preserved. They're safe. There's no papers on them and those weapons were you know, they were the need to be in the hands of a free person and Never never have seen the paperwork of the skank fed ever Which is cool But anyway, even if it was that older model, that standard 45 ACP projectile guys will still work just the same out of any of those weapons and or the variation of clones and knockoffs thereof from after the 1911's birth. Again, we have great confidence in that cartridge also designed by Mr. Browning with a mission. Go ahead Don, please. Well, I wanted to talk about internal and external ballistics and internal other things. But you know at the beginning of the hour you hear the slide close It picks one up out of the magazine and it forces it into the chamber and you know you do that to a gun over and over in particular you do that to a single bullet over and over and we've addressed this before but I have you know Mark I have three bullets that I do need to shoot because they don't need to cycle into the Chamber anymore. They've done it a number of times at the front of the hour Worse yet is to drop one into the chamber. You heard that for a long time. That's not good for the case. That's not good for the extractor. But it beats back the bullet in actual, actually shortens the overall length. Now, once you've done that a number of times, guys, you have a smaller volume between, you know, the internal portion of the primer, not the part of the primer that you see, and the back of the bullet, that area is actually getting smaller. Now it's meant to burn X amount, the powder's meant to burn X amount of rate in X amount of space, and all of these are formulas that are figured out. But when you light that off on that bullet that's closer up, you're gonna get a little more pressure out of that. Not to mention the bullet needs to jump a little bit farther to get to lands. So it starts to find its index in the bore, no matter how true or untrue. The farther the bullet has to jump from the case across nothing and void and space without any guidance or instruction to get to the lands where the lands are the beginning of the grooves and the lands, the tall parts. The farther that bullet has to move, the less accurate it's going to be. So again, I have about three bullets I have to shoot just, you know, to make certain that, well, the gun's gonna cycle them and I'll go out and aim them at something and I'll hit it, no doubt, but I don't know with what great amount of accuracy. But you'll probably, if you have a good notice, feel a little more slam in the gun. The gun might just bark just a teensy-tintsy little bit more, and if you do it enough, you'll notice that, man, that was a little bit of a hot round there. Now we've talked about how these are internal ballistics that we're talking about you guys Internal ballistics we could go to an in a different area and you know It's not so much with a straight shouldered case because when you reload that you beat it back down to hold the bullet, right? when you when you reload when you When you pull that lever down on that reloader with that, you know case that reforming case that well You're pushing that shoulder back too. We've talked about fire-formed cases. You're forming the case back beyond the shoulder, which is not a good thing for accuracy, to keeping your groups as small as possible. We've talked about fire-formed cases. A number of people, well, Hornaday will build you. As example, you have that 338 Lapua, that 408 Shitec for certain, your 50 caliber, you send them three. of your fired cases out of your 50 caliber I'd recommend that they all be the same brand like all Winchester or all Israeli military IMI or PMC for your Korean But all the same lot, preferably in all of the same brass type, preferably a military or spend a little money on a box of 10 or a box of 20 of a custom higher end load that's short cased. That way it's not going to have any chambering issues. Well, if you send them three of your 50 caliber fire formed cases, they will build you a die that will allow you to form that case. compress the neck enough to carry the bullet to contain the bullet but not change the shoulder and the area of the case farther back which is already fire formed to your chamber. Now these are internal ballistics. We've mentioned this before but there's a way right there. Now that guy's going to cost you most of $200 these days. But if you want to make your group smaller at 1,000 yards, if your groups are smaller at 500 yards, they're smaller at 1,000. And if they're smaller at 1,000, so on down until the bullet drops below subsonic. And then it's kind of a toss of the dice, because when it tumbles that little bit, as it slows down and passes through the speed of sound, it kind of catches a new direction. It surfs through that for an instant. And now that is pointed in a different direction, that axis of it. And it's still spinning pretty true enough to carry it in that direction. So then you lose your accuracy when you go, when the bullet slows down and goes subsonic. That's why the guy in Afghanistan, the Canadian, took three shots at that guy in Afghanistan at 2,700 yards. He did not hear that poor fellow that caught the third one. He did not hear that bullet crack through the air because it was subsonic. In the wind perhaps, in the mountain, he might not even have heard that sizzle of the bullet as it went through the air. or the next one that missed him, but he caught the third one. Now had that shooter, had that target been close enough, that shooter to hit something at 2,700 yards, no doubt would have hit something at the first shot had it been close enough for the bullet not to go subsonic. But now we're talking about external ballistics. I didn't want to go there yet. Boy, oh boy, you know one of the developments before the 1911 from John was simply a blowback gun and he was looking at other people's developments. He looked at that toggle gun from that Luger fellow and he looked at some other things and he built a blowback gun or two. All it did, the whole thing, it was like that little Beretta now. Oh, that is the favorite of the Israeli spies, the Mossad, just that dinky little Beretta in 22 long rifle or .225 caliber. I think you might even be able to get it up to .30 caliber in the same frame, the dinky little bullet .30 APC, not .30 like the Russian. But a automatic cartridge pistol, not APC. At any rate, that's purely a blowback gun. It's... The whole of the motion is carried from the power of the recoil. Browning looked at that and thought, well, we can do better. And that's why you have those grooves on the slide and the counter, the matching grooves on the barrel that keep the barrel and breach locked for a portion of the slide's travel back, giving more energy to the bullet, containing more energy in the slide too. So it's a far more efficient... to lock the... Again, these are internal ballistics. You guys, when we talk about internal ballistics, that's everything that can influence the path of the bullet inside the gun. You know, from lock time, you know, the time it takes once the trigger is pulled for all the mechanisms to work up until the firing pin goes slam on the... Makes everything move there in the little hammer and anvil. and everything goes kabang inside the cartridge. Right? Lock time varies from gun to gun and the faster your lock time, the more envied that trigger set is to people who want smaller groups. Imagine many times we've asked you to compare an inch to a mile. Now, Mark, we heard that this is my rifle and oh, the rifle. And in portion of oh, the rifle, you hear a snap, snap. It's like a drum. It's like a clack clack, but it's it's actually one gun firing That's what that's supposed to represent you guys if you if you don't have that reference that's the hammer slamming down on the pan and lighting off the bit Powder laid in the pan or pop and then it goes through the little cut the little channel Where the little hole is into where all the big amount of powder is and then it goes bang and the bullet goes down range Now that's an exaggerated lock time to where most people today wouldn't even be able to... the first time it went bang, they'd blink their eyes and flinch and look at the target for the hit and then the gun would go off. Almost. Now imagine that kind of lock time compared to what we enjoy today. So that's internal ballistics. And there are so many different things. Mark Skip used to say, there's 27 different things you can do wrong just loading your bullet. Just 27 different, and all of those involve internal ballistics. When you talk about the very end, we have talked about lands. If you're going to buy a rifle, one of the good things you could do, a used rifle, is to take it down to that good buddy you've been cultivating as a friend for years and years and taking them out to dinner and patting them on the back and sending them a Christmas card and inviting them to your New Year's party, you know, your gunsmith. And then you take this rifle over to your gunsmith, the rifle that is in question you might want to buy, and he gets out his bore scope. and he looks at the lands, he looks at the very end of the chamber. Let's reference a shouldered cartridge, like a 30-06 or a 50-caliber cartridge. You know, you have the base of the cartridge where your primer sets, where you press your primer in, right? You have the bit of cartridge that tapers down to the shoulder, and then that severe shoulder down to that parallel that contains the bullet. Then you have that curve of the bullet, right? That curve called the O-jive, by the way. that parallel there fits inside the chamber. That tube portion that contains the bullet is meant to fit inside the chamber to the extent that you've got, you know, nearly a few thousands on each side, unless you're loading machine guns and firing machine gun bullets, and you've got like... Well, an elephant used to live there and we want another elephant to live there with ease. So again, things are built real big for machine guns. So machine guns can eat anything. Hence, we've talked about match chambers and field chambers before. Consider a field chamber when a machine gun chamber. You can, as example, and we'll be brief on this, but you can shoot field bullets match bullets in a machine gun chamber in a machine gun But you might be hard-pressed to shoot machine gun bullets and we're talking 50 caliber exclusively here right now in a match chamber Because that that machine gun bullet might have been fired two or three times and reloaded by Uncle Sam and it goes over there and they want to make sure it's certain that when hey the That like five or six pound that five and some odd portions thereof pound bolt flies home on that 50 it just hey You know you can take the shoulder of that 50 caliber and you can bend that bullet about five degrees about eight degrees so that when you're holding the case and it's wobbling it looks like man, it's it's traveling about an eighth of an inch around at the tip and You put that in the belt And it'll just eat that right up. That bulk will slam that bullet home. You would never be able to put that bullet in a match chamber. Let's go in another direction and stay on the same subject. Because you know that parallel area on that 50 caliber, a match chamber might have the inside diameter of that chamber reamed out to something like 545. of an inch, like .545. Now you've got a .510 bullet there and if you've taken the wall of that end of that case, the parallel portion known as the mouth of that case, if you've taken that wall down to 15,000 and you've got a .510 bullet there, how much you add it all up? And you've got a .545, .554 inside diameter of your the mouth of your chamber, how much space do you have left? A machine gun bullet will not go in that chamber. Now that's, I hope we've talked about a little bit about, you know, this is, this is what we're, the field we're in now is head spacing. Head spacing can also be taken back to the other end of the bullet. And you know, sometimes, and we've talked about this on the hour, sometimes you'll get a gun and a bolt gun and man, you just can't close the bolt on it. or you close the bolt on it and you turn the gun up in the air and you hear a little tink and you open the bolt and you pull everything out and you poke that bullet back in and you can't figure it out. But eventually after taping things down, you're figuring that that bullet is dropping back in the chamber. Or, worst case scenario, there's not enough The bolt does not fall close enough to the back of the bullet that when you pull the trigger and the firing pin goes forward It doesn't hit that primer hard enough to make it go bang Now that's that's an exaggerated Or the shell casing is a little small right or the shell casing has actually been built small. Yeah, you're right But now you'll find this in mark you've talked about I think in fields where you can change the end of the bolt You can actually change the head of the bolt to help stay ahead of that erosion in the throat of a rifle. Take that reused rifle down to your buddy, the gunsmith, and have him inspect the throat of that used rifle. That's going to, no matter what the finish, how pretty the gun is on the outside, the throat is going to be your initial determiner of accuracy. As far as, well, if he's looking at the throat, he can look down the bore. Has it been cleaned ever? Are there big pits in it? You know, that's another good tell as far as maintenance. But if you go all the way to the other extreme, and we've talked about this before, you know, any rifle called a sniper's rifle, any rifle that's going to be sold as highly accurateized, accurateized, whatever the word they use, or it's custom built, is gonna have a recessed crown these days. That recessed crown, you look at the edge of the bullet, edge of the end of the barrel, and instead of the rifling finishing like it's a stovepipe, and right there is the rifling all in one plane, you're going to look at the end of that barrel and there's going to be like a setback so that if the rifle is banged or touched against some piece of concrete or steel or something while you're trying to creep along or while you're running as fast as you can, that little divot that might actually bend a little bit of metal or so that when you're cleaning the gun You don't wear a little notch in one area. A recessed crown is one of the good steps toward accuracy. And I have to say this, it is, I love this, the last word in internal ballistics. Thank you for that. Now, external ballistics, you guys, is everything that happens to the bullet outside once it's left a gun. Windage. External ballistics can be affected by how tight the bore is, the spin. We've talked about the different spins for .223 and you've got your fast spin and your slow spin. You've got like seven and nine. Now the heavy bullet goes with the slow spin and the light bullet goes with the fast spin. And you'll close your groups. If you're shooting heavy bullets in the in the fast spin, you're probably going to wonder why isn't this .223, this M16 type pattern gun, this AR-15, shooting groups like an inch and a quarter like the manufacturer says it should right out of the box. Well, the manufacturer will tell you that for this spin, for this spin, you need this weight of bullets. Call armolite that we don't just make this stuff up you guys these are other portions of what are literally I was going to say what one might call, but these are internal ballistics You know there was a big heated thing years and years ago When a guy started building and someone still is building a one in nine spin for a 50 caliber and You know the more you spin the bullet the longer literally the more pressure it takes to get it to the end the more the pressure backs up and the big argument then was Most 50 calibers are 1 in 12, 1 in 11, some get down to 1 in 10, but these are custom bullets, buttons rather. You're going to find 1 in 12 is about an average spin for a 50 caliber barrel. By the time you take that down to 1 in 9, you're spending so much effort on just getting the bullet down the barrel that you're starting to produce some dangerous chamber pressures. How do you judge that, Don? I don't have these big scientific instruments that the gun builders do, and even my gun store guy, my gunsmith, doesn't have the ability to measure chamber pressures. There are formulas for it, you guys. This is how they arrive at most of them. Gases, these solids are going to expand at given rates. That is what creates the pressures. Now, one of the ways you can estimate and guesstimate If you're over pressuring your bolt gun or not, this is awful hard to do on your semi-autos, some of them. Some of them you can get away with it. You fired that bullet. Now, let's do it like this. If you're shooting that .338 Lapua, if you're shooting a gun with a brake on it, that .408 Chi-Tech, that .50 caliber, and in broad daylight you see flames coming out of your brake, I'm probably gonna guess, and I'm probably gonna advise you right off the get-go, that you're over pressuring that gun. Now, let's take that to test. Pull that bolt open, Charlie, now. You gotta grab that pistol grip and you gotta put the palm of your hand on the bottom of that bolt and you gotta beat it up a couple times and finally now you can pull that bolt back. Now that's a tell right there because if you have to, and we address this, there's actually on Michigan Outdoors or Michigan, whatever, they show a guy shooting his armalite. is AR-50 and you know what? He's opening that... He's hitting that bolt after he shoots with a hunk of a 2x4. I couldn't believe it myself the first time I talked about it. I saw it. We addressed that on the air within a couple of weeks. It came up subject matter. But if you have to open your bolt with a 2x4, with a hammer, you're over pressuring that gun. As a reinforcement to this thought line, let that piece of brass... cool for a moment young soldier then put it back in the breach and close the bolt on it does it feel as easy going into the bolt as it did before you going to battery closing that bolt as it did before you fired it now as a rule it shouldn't feel just like butter just like the first time that factory round went in But you shouldn't have to bang that bolt down closed either any of those two aforementioned situations and man you need to back off on your powder a bit if you're loading or you need to change your bullet supplier your you know your cartridge manufacturer Because he's over pressuring your gun now when we talk about this you guys if you're a loader you know about this But if you're going if you're moving in got some background there don't worry Yeah If you are moving into the reloading world and you are thinking, I am going to learn how to load my 50 or my 338 or my 4, even your 223 and you open the book and you say, I got that kind of powder right there, I am going to go get it right now and you do. Then you open up the book again and you say, I need a scale and you go back there and you get a scale and then you come back and say, I am ready to go now and you look at that and it says, I got me that HB 50 and I'm loading for my 50 now and it says I need 225 grains that at HB 50 with a 750 grain bullet and then I'm gonna put that 225 actually it's 220 grains maximum load HB 50 for a 750 grain bullet. I'm gonna put that 220 grains in there and I'm just gonna I'm gonna build me a hundred of these and I'm gonna go out shooting. You'd be best to build five and start at about 200 grains. Going as much as 15% back from the manufacturer's maximum recommended load. Increte, build like five of those and shoot them. Now you've got fire form cases. Shoot five more at like two grams more and watch your group get smaller at like three and four hundred yards. Do it again and your groups might get smaller. And then do it again and man your groups start to get bigger or you get a flyer. And do it again just to make certain and your groups are getting bigger. Now back up to your sweet spot and wow you found your load for that powder at least for that one pound of powder or that eight pounds of powder in that one gallon. Haven't you? You found your sweet spot for that load. So again, loading to the maximums, these are internal ballistics you guys. Just because it says 160 on this pedometer doesn't mean the car will go that fast. But just because it says 220 grain doesn't mean, man, this is going to be the best thing since shooting a .50 caliber. You know what I mean? So again, I want to completely change the subject here because you know we've talked about windage. And all of that is external ballistics. And if you want to learn about windage, man, you better start shooting a 22 at the very least. Shoot a 22 at 100 yards in different conditions. Wind's coming from the left. Wind is coming over your shoulder. Wind is coming from the right. Wind is coming directly at you. Oh, did we mention it's raining? How about it's cold? All kinds of different conditions. That's external ballistics. Can be confusing as the first half hour was. even more so, but that's a learned skill that completely changes subjects. You know, we talk about mindset. We talk about control. It's been mentioned on the hour that any grown man worth his salt is a control freak, whether he wants to admit it or not. This is true, isn't it? In the back of your mind somewhere, think about it. But now... Even men who would admit, I'm in charge of everything, I'm the captain of my own ship, whatever analogy you choose to put there for the flesh and blood that you occupy. Well, people tend to look at this and that and say, well, we're in this situation and we can't do anything about it or we're in this situation and there's only one thing to do and But all of those things, you guys, that are outside of you are external. I want you to ponder this for a little while, and we don't have to spend a lot of time on this. But think about it like this. If I were studying with, let's be real, I want to use this as example to be, oh, easy to understand, to keep it simple. Because we could elevate it up to even something as fast as like, you know, 3,100 feet per second. But I don't know how fast the tip of a very well-managed sword might trap. If you figure a pitcher can get up around 96, maybe 98 or 100 miles an hour, that ball isn't going any faster when it leaves his hand. It does not magically speed up physics, say, and Popeye's granddaddy would tell you also that that is impossible. His hand had to be going as fast as the ball when the ball was released for the ball to be going that fast to be measured by that radar gun. We can all agree on that, right? Now, let's agree on something else. Throughout that motion, his shoulder is slower than his elbow. His elbow is slower than his wrist. His wrist is slower than his fingertips as the ball leaves his hand, right? We can all agree on that. Now if we move up a little bit, my shoulder is slower than my elbow, but my elbow is faster than my shoulder. My wrist is faster than my elbow. The tip of my sword is faster than my wrist. Now, once we've established that, let's say that I'm in a sword fight, or let's involve you too. We are in a sword fight, and we're swinging our swords at each other, and you know, smashing and trying to hack and all of this and that. I don't mean to be so personal. I just want to draw you right into this. But here comes that standard blow meant to split me from stem to stern from the top of my head to my feet. A straight down two handed blow. And I bring my blade up to block that. And as I bring my blade up, let's just imagine that, oops! The sharp point of his sticky thing there, his blade pokey pokey thing, cut off my index finger because, well, because I allowed my hand to be there. Now some might not understand that thought line and it took me a long time to understand this too. But think about that. He cut off my finger because I allowed my hand to be in the path of his blade. Now, can you understand when we talk about internalizing things? And I'm not talking about ballistics now. Mark, it's been said on this hour, and I wish it was a Don original. It's a clever statement to say, God does not tie our tennis shoes. We have to do for ourselves. We ask for guidance. We hope for it. And we try to walk in all of that divinity and serenity and other things that provided he gives you. calmness. We try to take advantage of it. But still, I have to tie my shoes. I have to wash the clothes, prepare the meals, all of the things that are day to day. Now with that in mind, I'm training with the sword. Let's use that as an example because that's what we're running with. As that sword comes up, because I know I'm going to need to block this, if I fail to make that effort if I fail by timing, if I fail simply by the judgment and the block never comes, that's not the guy's fault welding the sword against me. It's my fault. It's my fault for not having the sword in the right place. It's my fault for not blocking that sword that just almost cleaved me in two. It's my fault for having my hand in just the wrong place that his blade lofts off my index finger. It was my fault. Now let's take this internalizing of things to the nth degree because you know what? If you don't pick up the sword and practice with it, it truly is your fault if you get your finger lopped off or you're cut in two or your head is rolling over there if you live in that world. We've talked many times about I've got a gun and I bought it back in Y2K in case things, no I bought it back. In fact it's my, oh yeah I've got my father's gun. He bought it back during the riots. It's still in the box there in the closet. It's a fine gun. I haven't seen it in years. Or I bought that gun for Y2K or I bought that gun when those, when things looked bad and I thought everything was gonna go to H.E. Double Hockey sticks, you know? And I bought that gun and we've addressed this many times. You buy a gun and you put it away and you trust, you know, I'm gonna trust it with my, I'm gonna trust it with my life. Because to a certain extent, that's what you're doing, aren't you? You're kind of making that wager, you're buying that little bit of insurance. But if you do not get it out of the box, if you at least run one round through it to make sure it goes click bang. Now the lock time is a little bit faster than that, isn't it? I did that for reference. But when you pull a trigger, if it doesn't go bang, when you need it to, you'd be saying to yourself, man, I wished I'd have done this years ago. While you're being clubbed to death or the guy's taking your gun from you and showing you how to work it while he kills your family. Again, you're doing that gun so many disservices, not to mention yourself. You're not getting fire formed cases you're not building. Again, to improve your accuracy. You're not building a drop chart if it's a long gun. You know, 50, 100, 250, 300, so on down to its maximum ranges. And even your handgun, most anybody can hit something 10 feet away with their handgun. Why you don't even really have to bring that bring it up to site do you it's just point the squirt and we've talked about that haven't we? But how far away do you have to be with your handgun? To something before you really literally have to take that instant to take aim Lock lock that notch and groove and look at the target and pull the trigger 10 yards 30 feet how far away do you have to out what if you can hit something put it on the dot at 30 feet 10 yards What's the difference in point of aim at 70? So again, even with your handgun, oh, I put it over there and it's in the drawer. It's only been fired twice. I bet my life on it. It's one of them plastic ones. Or whatever. If you're not familiar with it, we've banged this drum so many times we harp on this, don't we? Familiarity with your equipment. We've beat that up so many times. But again, now we've talked about, now we're, We're beyond external ballistics here. We're beyond internal ballistics of your gun. We're talking about you. Are you familiar with it? Do you know how it works? Does it jump to your hand? You've heard that on the hour before, and that goes back, that's ancient. That's not gunslinger. That's not Johnny Yuma. We've got enough time. It's a moment worth of a story. That jump to your hand phrase goes back to Oh, thousands of years ago when China was beating up Korea for the whole of the summer, three Chinese generals had brought all of their armies. One Korean general had held them at bay all summer. They were confounded at this. They thought that they would just mosey on down the peninsula and have their way. They were going to walk through the Koreans. Yup. It did not happen. to the extent that they wanted to talk to this man who was in charge of this group of soldiers that had so befuddled them. During this meeting, one of the Chinese generals said something to the Korean general that he took offense to, and he drew his sword so fast that to the Chinese generals it appeared to jump to his hand. That's where that phrase comes from. It appeared to jump to his hand, and one of them thought, no doubt, the others thought to themselves, that if this man has such ability, it is no wonder that his army has held at bay all summer. And those three Chinese generals turned and took their armies and left. Now that's internal ballistics and that's external. That's internal and that's external exhibition of what was mentioned earlier in the week as continents, as ability. Again, the exhibition so fierce, but so slight just to draw the blade. But it happened so fast it was almost as if it was magic. It seemed to jump to his hand. You know, a weapon that jumps to your hand seems to be most willing to work for you, doesn't it? Or it would appear to... Why, that weapon, that sword just wants to hack and slash for him. Imagine what those Chinese generals thought. having never seen that ability before. Having never seen someone draw their sword so fast. Imagine. But what does it take to get there? It takes that cultivating, that internal ability, that external ability, the internal ability. We've talked about this so many times, you guys. If you cannot think it, if you cannot imagine it, your body, your mind cannot give your body the command. Period. It will never happen if you can't generate it in how does that go mark that most sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet that gray matter between your ears Mark up you asked me what was going on and I just Seem to not stop I I yield to you sir the one thing about the Whole idea of walking through the Koreans as I mentioned many many many many times Guys, there's for whatever reason they get it in their heads either in China or Japan But they can do just exactly that every so often. And the most important thing to remember is for all of their doing it or having done it or tried it one time or another, it should be pointed out that Koreans still speak Korean. If they were a conquered nation and an utterly conquered nation and are impossible to dominate despite, you know, everybody, ah, the Koreans are not that big, consider that the Japanese and the Chinese are bigger in terms of numbers, and yet neither was able to keep the peninsula. No single, neither of those countries have been able to effectively keep the peninsula. That is to be admired. Yeah, that's why you... Oh, Koreans, you can roll on it, really? Well, a lot of other people have said that in the last couple thousand years. Think about it. Obviously, the Koreans, the demonstration of tenacity, the Koreans had something to say about it, didn't they? Oh, yes. Just a little case in point, because we're talking also about dealing with the... the threats of the day and how we're going to have to fight for them, fight for our rights. Well, that's part of what we're talking about here. This is why we need to be thinking through the process and kind of stepping back and evaluating a little bit. What are we hoping to accomplish? How are we going to get it done? That was one of the subjects I wanted to touch on. who would agree today but we're going to focus on that tomorrow because this is weapons Wednesday and and it's something that I'd I figured out we're going to wait till Thursday because it's going to be two days worth of discussion it's part of the what do you want out of this but before you can even do that you you also you know you that is part of the question part of the many questions need to be asked but it's what how are you going to function What do you not only want to accomplish, but how we have to really ask the question, how are we going to get this done properly? It's not that we can't do it, we can. But there are certain guidelines that have to be established and we have to all agree that, you know, hey, these are our standards. It's kind of like when I mentioned the thing with the East Ukrainians, you know, forces. Guys, the East Ukrainian forces are Christian. They in fact have a very strict standard with regard to their operations in the field and how they even operate or what standard they maintain amongst themselves with regard to their honor and with regard to their faith. And because of this, nobody wants to talk about it, but they've already overcome what really would be considered by most insurmountable odds. And not only have they held on, but they've organized, reorganized, reorganized it again, and have built themselves up into a fighting force defending a nation state. Starting out as basically people just protecting themselves from somebody coming through the Wanda rape kill pillage and burn. Think about it. Were they just, again, I'm pissed, how about you? Yeah, well, we're all kind of pissed, but what do we do? Well, they organized. And what did they organize as? Militia. Why? Well, militia is a representation of the local population and that's exactly what they are. Why are they successful? Why are the people are willing to get into trucks or cars and go out and take what little they have in the way of belongings and share them with their ancestors? Who are, of course, well, I should remind you of something. You see, unlike a commercial military force, when they go out to help those men, they're their uncles, their brothers, cousins, husbands, grandfathers. Think about it. Why are they willing to step forward and do that? Because it's family. That's why. And that's the difference. That's why they will be successful. And that's why we have to... There's a number of things that we just simply have to decide. Are we going to be Americans? Or are we trying to play lip service to our enemy and play internationalist? I'm not an internationalist. I never will be. I enjoy the... wide range of people that exist on this planet i think that malakans are wonderful as malakans german's are fantastic as german's and stay there and the famous true with all the rest of these characters that want to come and pee in our pool on that note i'd like to say chinese have no Need to become involved in American law Don't get into this little American problem the quagmire that you'll create for yourself because we also have another attitude long-term vendetta That was said to fearless leader yesterday or today. You have no business becoming involved in Chinese law What, you mean the blood, you know, the dried blood red Star Trek uniform didn't bring him, make him part of the pack? It didn't work? No. I'll tell you, you know... This is never going to be a Chinaman. Look at him. On those pictures, guys, they're, the attitude there was they did not want him there. The more I'm looking at it is, you do not ignore a head of a nation state. But they either tried not to be associated with him ignored him or acted you know like pleasingly disgusted like ha ha ha you I even put you up in a monkey suit and you're stupid enough to wet That's exactly the attitude in the body language and every aspect of what was done. Except that like I said, Don, if you take a look at the group picture of the podium where they're all standing there and they've all got the Star Trek uniform done. No, I haven't seen that. Putin was there. Did you know that? The big controversy is he put his coat over the Chinese premier's wife the other day. That's the big controversy about Putin. That's funny about it. Well, here's what's comical is, there's no conflict there. Putin was on the level of the stage. Obama was on the far right side over with the women. Oh, yeah. It looks like it looked like a Chinese Star Trek. Did Michelle put a wrap around them? Well, it looks like it's a Chinese Star Trek sci-fi convention. Were they at costumes they had everybody in the way they were dressed? I'm sorry, if you can, dig this up, have somebody pull you over to the internet and take a look at some of the images. But here's the thing, Putin is in the middle of the stage with the Chinese. And Obama, you know that guy's supposed to be in charge of that superpower, you know, the nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines and everything. He's off to the right, over with the wives. Wow. Seriously, I mean now granted they tried to do this would be like man woman man woman up on the podium But in the middle is the you know, el presidente slash dick tater, you know two words dick tater of China and Putin standing beside him and then these other characters and like I said, it looked like a Star Trek convention with their own version of Jean-Luc Picard, you know Putin with you know, the slightly balding head In short hair in the Star Trek uniform and then you had his like number two man, you know the China kit sidekick and then there's the guys in the red church you know like uh... obama that the mark in the outer peripheral area every picture like this i've got a lot of a lot of work really dot others in several pictures that if you go through the from the trenches scroll the headline pictures that he used uh... people got their head their back to to bowl bomber And to me, I mean, number one, there's a decorum. I brought this up, guys, because it's like when you have a general staff officer in the room, or a captain on the deck. Everybody's supposed to be kind of paying attention to where the captain is and either doing their job or deferring to his space accordingly. Well, there wasn't anything like that going on with Mal Obama, because that's the one term I think it's very correct. Mal, as in Chairman Mal, Mal Obama didn't fare very well. We've got a few moments left. We have a caller? Yeah, a caller. Yeah, jump in there caller. Yeah, hey, I can figure out if he was supposed to be a black Vulcan or a warch. Yeah, that's what he thought. That's true. He could be a Tuvok. You're right about that. Yeah. Oh, that's perfect. I hadn't thought about that. That was true. Yeah, but the problem is he's the wrong cast. You know, it's next generation and he's with Voyager. He doesn't look right. No, he's with... Oh, what is it? Serenity. Yeah, right. No, I wouldn't put him anywhere near that class. Yeah, I know. If he'd be anything... And he wouldn't even be one of the bounty hunters or anything. No, he's got it right. Black Tuvok. Black Vulcan. Tuvok the Black Vulcan. Well, we joke about space, you guys. Something historical happened today. You know, if it really, truly happened, I believe today we, as people, landed a mechanical device on a comet. That's easier to believe than landing on a moon. There were no people on board this thing on the comet. This is a historical day as far as space travel and all of that and all kinds of other things, but man, the mechanical accomplishment there. Were there large icicles coming up through the base and steam and was it getting ready to collide with Earth? No, it's not. It's way way out. I know it's not it's not in in it's not bleeding anything yet, right? But this is astounding you guys this this has been equated to shooting a bullet with a bullet but the the oh The the scale of this the the the speed of this the whole of this this is tremendous It's not like Columbus, but this is a tremendous accomplishment. It happened today. Was that 100% American? Oh no, this was a European thing. I think it was European space, but you guys, it happened. It has to be acknowledged. Mark, you've talked many times about where is the American space agency these days or the space program or whatnot, and this is an example of it lacking. Well, we were too busy pulling out the prayer rugs and facing the east. You know, they were right in the middle of getting ready to do something and then it was lalalalala and everybody had to be politically correct and so the first thing they did was burn all of the Christian artifacts that were near any of the Space Center facilities. And then they had the Cthulhu Soul Eater Warshippers come in and blessed with demonic blood, the satellites. of course not worry about about cross-contamination like that and then finally that's another failed at their naked around the satellite launcher launch platform While singing, I want to teach the world to sing, of course the Coca-Cola piece. Ava Coke. Ava Coke. And they did. They started three lines. They went back to mission control. Everybody basically went into hyper mode. And then the rocket blew up. When she was launched, she blew up. That's right. See? I understand now exactly how it works nowadays. Dudes. You know that they, have you gone to the NASA channel lately, guys? Real quick, heads up. When you go to the NASA TV channel, you expect to see moving pictures, right? Yeah. So it was plugged in. One of the guys had a link to it today that they sent me. So I plugged into it and I'm looking and I'm thinking, oh, mission control. And I'm watching for a minute because this is NASA television. And it's like mission control is supposedly live, except the more I look at it, there's nothing. It's like, wow, that's cool. It looks pretty dull. It's even duller than the other mission control sites. But then it's like, wait a minute, it's a still picture. Now, they've got a television site, they've got movie capability, but they're not doing a live feed of mission control. Now, if it's mission control, I don't care what time of day it is. Now, with the present space program being a, you know, we have a satellite, we have a satellite in space all the time, but especially the space station, somebody's got to be in there all the time. So, why not have a live feed? Well, they don't want to show the guy picking his nose and the other guy with his feet up and the other guy pitching pennies at the wall throwing dice, marking and spitting on the floor and such. Scratch his hind end because it's really dull here man. 24-7 space program dude. Not like that. I gotta be out there for the morning prayer, the midday prayer, the afternoon prayer, the late evening prayer and I gotta have my prayer rug rolled up under. And then we gotta feed these monkeys. Yeah. I'm not sure. I mentioned of the landing on the comet. There's a pie in there in the sense that it's not really just magic or sorcery. It's a matter of science, both when you're trying to hit a small target at long range or to hit something out there in space at long range. It's the same sort of science. And I'd encourage all the listeners of the Intel report to... who do not have already a lot of experience in long range or extreme range shooting to try to, and they want to develop that skill to go to YouTube and watch this free series on their call. If you go to YouTube and you type a search for Sniper 101 Sniper 101. It's an 85 part series. Excellent experience on learning to shoot at extreme range. Very good. That's on YouTube. I gotta say to bless you my brother. You made that connection. You figured out the dime riddle of the day. Bless you. We are at the top. Dom's gonna be available in just a minute for night vision, guys. Hey, my phone number is 23179684. 5-8 goggles are gun sight, green screen through thermal, 2-3-1, 7-9-6, 8-4, 5-8. Thank God bless the Republic. Death to the new world ordered. We shall prevail and we've got some new empires on the run. But we are on the march both day and night. Raw. Could you please speed them down so hard that with the gods they never showed up? We'll be back tomorrow, save time, we're running a little late now, but it's our network and Ed's taking over. Don, you're number for night vision again, please. Those are guns, green screens are thermal. Give me a call. You won't call that guy with the 800 number.
