That's free for five days at Live365.com slash VIP. Live 365. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You 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 Plan. Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iookeed 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 tyrants trample, each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? The home of the free? I was just gonna say I'm not certain if Mark's up yet, but he'll be here soon, correct? This is something to look forward to. Waddle around here for just a moment. Mark'll be here. If I do the run-up, he's gonna do the run-ups. Hehehe. At any rate, I'd rather do that just one time. Hey, you guys, you're tuned in to, uh, Retreat Radio. Broadcasts took the compass and to each and every one of our brothers and- sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied I might be listening on an AM station or in one of the rebroadcasters I call you guys the short Rangers instead of the micro broadcasters it gives you a bit of a more of a militant bite so my hats off to the short Rangers you know the AM and FM broadcasters that you might be listening to how about that channel 7 or 29 across Michigan and spreading across the nation on the CB channels and Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intel reporter Mark Korky and I'm Don Vetcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories Central, West, North and Northeast. From your listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. 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 chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd and 5th in our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving 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 land and the Smokies. The restaurant crews, Gramitines, OK teams, and Mobbell Gramit Consortium bringing us the Golden Spike down. As you were saying, the date today is... Hey, it is the 13th day of November. Year of Our Lord 2014. Thursday the 13th. And it did get a little sunny here in the afternoon market. It was, you know, cold and damp. I almost said muggy, but you know, you can't be muggy when it's cold and damp and... until about noon then the sun came out and turned into a pleasant day and then the sun went down. Now it's getting cold again on this the thirteenth day of November. A couple more days will have firearms season here in Michigan. People will be out shooting deer left and right. So if you're going through woods in that time frame you probably want to wear some orange just for your own personal safety. It's been mentioned many times on the hour though Mark. You know they even make the bow and arrow now at least an orange hat and vest but you know they're the guys that want to be really sneaky sit and sit in the tree for you know hours and hours but we've addressed it on the air the reason they want hunters to wear orange the DNR guy can spot them in the woods can harass them yes that's all it is it has nothing to do with safety and bow season the massive number of people who actually shot his deer during bow oh that doesn't happen does it Don? No Everybody pretty well is quiet through the woods and sees and hears everything going on. So the only reason is for it is who again? The advantage of the DNR. At any rate. So they can ruin your hunt? Yes, exactly. Just with people and they laugh about it, which means another good reason to get rid of them and for it to be gone. Well, again, it's been said more than once on the hour and it's not a darn original. It was first told to me by Mr. Jacotto, you can't be a rebel if you're not willing to take one of the king's deer out of season. Now with that in mind, Mark, do you know any deer hunters? Have they talked to you about the price of shooting one deer in Michigan this year? It's almost doubled. You have to buy what is called a base license now. To get a license to shoot two deer is almost three times the price as it was last year. I would remind you that two or three years ago they raised the prices across the board on fishing and deer hunting and everything but making cat-gut sutures. In addition, by the way, there are fewer places selling license. Because they don't have to make anything on it. Right. They make nothing. Right. By the time you're done with the time it takes to fill out the massive amount of paperwork, not just what you see to get the permit, But you've got to understand the massive bookkeeping behind the scenes that you don't see that the desk has to do. Whoever has to manage that, it is a job unto itself. And of course you're pressed when you're at work. You've got an in-hour shift. You're working in a sporting goods department or a sporting goods store. Maybe it's your own shop. Guys, it takes a big chunk of BS to do license. And even if you know what you're doing, and I knew what I was doing, and I'll tell you right off the bat, you were buried up your eyeballs. And of course, then there were many, why don't people want to carry the license? Well, on the other hand, the DNR also likes the idea that people aren't doing it because they actually are in the business of trying to get away, get, do away with hunting, not improve it, not to make it better, just to try and do away with it. That's part of the communist agenda. Go ahead. Oh, well, to up the price or to, I'm going to invoke one of your It's been said on the hour almost to the point that it's a cliché. People are voting with their wallet. You might recognize if you've been through Michigan, and someplace else is traveling through our pleasant state, or you might have seen advertisements for Jay's sporting goods. That place is getting so big he bought a closed down Kmart, and he's moving into there. He'll be the dunnums of northern Michigan. A friend and I drove by the Dunhams here a week ago and he was amazed at how big that place was down there by Monroe. But Jay's Sporting Goods is getting that big. They commented on the evening news, the local five o'clock or six o'clock news or something, it might have been the morning news, that people are going in to buy a license mark and they find out how much it costs and you know what they do? They turn around and leave. But you know, you've heard it said on the hour before, and here comes one of those, it's been heard so many times that it's almost a cliché. I bet you my left little toe or my right little toe that that man's still going to go out and shoot a deer this year, and maybe too, like he had done for many, many years. And it's not just one person walking away from the counter. Otherwise, much like the, oh, that What's His Name song singing about Thanksgiving, Arlo Guthrie, it's just one person did it. It wouldn't, if just two, if three people did it, it would be a movement, you know? But a whole bunch of people are doing it to the extent that it's mentioned on the evening news marks, so there's that phrase being applied out there, vote with your wallet. Well, I vote that I'm not gonna buy a deer license this year, but I vote that I'm still gonna fill up my freezer. You watch. D&R will be kind of busy this year. In fact, they might even be busier than they want to be. Just some very busy anymore after their first exactly exactly like that one dirt now And then I'll be well, they'll be very unbusy. Yeah that particular one or two of them How does that going how does how does it that? Oh Warren's Yvonne says hanging out in the motel where they never change the sheets It might be silk to hold still kids. It's gonna hurt a lot. Yeah, and I'm still gonna drag my dear home Yeah, so again, you know It's a money thing. We're tired of it. We're not going to put up with it anymore. But we're going to... How does that go? Here comes another one. Carry on as usual. Yeah. That bow and arrow worked just fine again this year. And then rifle season is coming up. And that deer was about two and a half years old. Was. Didn't go no farther. Great. This comes over to so many things. I was talking with someone today, and I'll mention a name, excuse me, and you'd recognize the name, but he was talking about trying to encourage a federal hunting license for veterans. They hunt for free. Now, I tried to put the quash on that because, well, then what you've got is a federal list of veterans who are firearm owners. and they just look up this list and look up that list and pretty soon they'll write where you are. They make everything you have illegal and then they come out and play jack-booted thugs until enough people decide to shoot them dead and then they'll back off for a while. Again, yeah, there are predetermined paths. You're right. You're right. And if it continues to go in this direction, some of you will get shot over a deer eventually. And people say, well, where would it start? Hey, if more people knew about that guy in Pennsylvania, if more people knew the truth about that, do you think that, well, people might have saw that as a start? And I, you know, that's unabashed. I'm saying that right here. Bare naked. And I've got clothes on. But you know what I mean. That's how raw that statement is. If people, your average Joe knew, instead of what they were sold by the media, that's why that Pennsylvania State cop was shot and that's why his buddy was shot too. Well, they weren't shot just on a whim. They weren't shot because this guy... Oh, Mark, they weren't shot because, well, he's a military re-enactor. They weren't shot because there were pictures of him in Bulgarian uniforms. Just off the top of my head. They might have been Ukrainian. They might have been Yugoslavian uniforms. But that isn't why those cops were shot. And the media, every time you see that, well they don't talk about it so much anymore because they finally found that guy. But I didn't want to let that just get swept into the dustbin of history. Because if most Americans knew, do you think that they'd say, well, maybe that cop got what he deserved and I wonder what the other guy was standing around, you know, if he was grinning all about it or they were actually even standing there talking about it when they... We decided to shoot the other one too because he was laughing. Now understand, we've brought you this when it happens in Afghanistan and some Afghani soldier or some Afghani civilian or officer walks up to a group of men and he says, were you at this house last night? Just as example, or that woman you talked to in the bazaar yesterday, that was my sister, bang. That woman you disrespected, bang. Now again, Eric, what's his last name? Painted as just, you know, some cold-blooded murderer. And the media basically got away with that, didn't they? So, you know, maybe a police man that wants to come around and try to steal somebody's wife, you know, if you don't do this, I'm going to do that, because I'm... And that's what that was about. Maybe he'll think twice about it, but you know, most of them are just plain dumb, as you say, Mark, as a box of rocks. So they aren't going to get this message. They're going to continue down their path of stupidity and they're going to have to just, you know, how does that go? Club, club. Bang. One way or the other. So again, if most of America knew what that was about, don't you think they would have thought that, well maybe that guy got what he deserved. Frank lives right down the street and he's been, and maybe Frank gets what he deserves too. So, you understand, you know, there are people right now who are saying, well, these are crazy statements, Don. You shouldn't even be talking like that. But the media understands that if most people knew about that, that's the way they would see it. And we've talked many times about keeping things contained and compartmentalized. I'm wondering in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas, what they heard about this guy at all other than There's a huge manhunt because somebody shot Pennsylvania State. So bear that in mind again, you know, it's not always what, you know, no matter what you do, it doesn't matter what they call you on TV later, because if they're not paying you, they are probably being very derogatory toward, Mark, I'll be quiet now. Well, one of the other things coming up here, of course, we've got firearms deer season passing through, bunny season overlapping with it. Real quick backing up on that, I didn't see what small game licenses went to either this year. Oh, you can't even small game on your own land without paying that $10 what they call the base license. Now, you have to pay $10 to shoot a rabbit on your own property in Michigan now. Again, There's going to be somebody who might just find that like a stumbling block or a snare. Yeah, that's biblical. Do we have a caller? Yeah, you've got John here from Kentucky. We will lose revenues so often we lose one. They just walk off ledges and stuff, right? I don't know what happens, but they just don't come back. Yeah, they find a nice little place and they decide that's where they want to stay, huh? Yeah. Here in Kentucky, our deer season opened last Saturday. There's a few being brought in. I'm not going to go out this year. Although my license for me as a senior citizen, I can get the full license for everything for $5. It's called the Sportsman's Package. It's fishing, hunting, everything. In that respect, Kentucky is very nice to their senior citizens. You can barely get a big deal. back in Michigan for five bucks. Oh, what's that? It's like that dang darn darn, the Refresnatal Government until somebody says, well, I'm, look, Mr. DNR, you know, I've said it before, I've said it on the air here before, you know, your fishing license, your hunting license, what that does is allows the DNR guy to go home at night. And if you pause and ponder on that for a moment, it's not a big riddle. And somebody's going to come across somebody who doesn't have a license, and he's probably not going to go home that night. So that's the other side, you know, that's not a very funny riddle, is it? But this is where they're pushing plenty of people. There's more than a, there's about a quarter million people hunt in Michigan. It's a big, big number of people. And I wonder how they said, if, if deer license purchases are considerably down, which is the word, enough that it's not too well the afternoon, the evening, or the morning news, attention to it. If they're paying attention to the purchase, don't you think that they are going to try to make it back up on the other end? That's a business phrase, isn't it? Because Michigan certainly is trying to take care of or give the hunters the business this year. It worked out pretty good. But you don't? Yeah. Yeah. In Texas, it's $25, plain hunting. If you're going to hunt deer, 25 nuts for a senior or nothing. You still have to have that $25 if you want to shoot a squirrel out of your own tree. Oh, no kidding. Wow. Yeah, I mean, if you're going to make any game, unless you can... Yeah, catch that first part, how much is yours up there in Michigan? Oh, I'm thinking it's around $48 for a single deer now. For what, a single deer? Yeah, that's... price of venison is going up, fellas. How would that say? You know, that's better than a 2 cent... Here, it differs from county to county, but mostly it's five deer, two in our area and three does. You don't have to tag exotics here. A lot of them get loose. You mean like a fallow deer or something like non-indigenous? Yeah, but you still have to have a hunt license. What about pigs? There's a lot of talk about shooting pigs in Texas. There's no seasonal on them, right? There's no seasonal on them. I'm not sure if you have to have a license to shoot them. That was my question. They're considered a varmint. I'm not thinking I ought to look it up, but it might be different. You're shooting it and taking it home in a process. You're shooting it, a bunch of them. When this happens, a lot of people are shot and just left to lay. Oh, no kidding. Oh, yeah. I mean, just because there's so many. Again, you know what gets me about that and just an idea of plant a seed. If you do a little research about canning, dog food or cat food, there's big money in that. And rather than it Chinese made garbage, we've got bulk critters that need to be thinned out. It's like rabbits, jackrabbits out west. They used to piss and moan about the tribes that had an open season for a day and everybody came out and there'd be like 10,000, 20,000 bunnies killed and everybody was like, oh my god, all the rabbits! And next week they'd all be back. They wouldn't put a dent in the actual population but they'd keep down the nibblers and chew down the foliage. Again, think about this. If nothing else, a mobile cannery to work regionally, but with something like that, you harvest them. The pelts are worth something, no matter what. There's a pelt market. If you're not familiar with it, there's spot pricing, just like for anything else, for a cany or the commodity. So the pelts can be marketed. All of the animal would be used. So there's nothing to go to waste. If you gut them, you're going to take the entrails. That goes to fertilizer, typically. It can also go to other products depending on whether somebody has a commercial use for them. Bones to the same place. Yeah, either that or you see a lot of the cat food and dog food companies once they've got the animal gutted, although some don't even do that guys, they pressure cook everything. The bone is brought down to the softness of the rest of the tissue and then it's all ground into a meal and then they add the other bulkers. to make you know to stretch it out but if you had something like we're talking about here like pigs in california open season or down in texas if somebody were open up eight cat food operation or dog food operation that port could be processed over and it would be a richer healthier menu for the animals than anything else are being fed that's coming in off the dog food bags right now and it would be hard to do uh... Here's a heads up on this, you guys. If you haven't been listening for a long time, years ago Mark suggested doing this with the Chinese carp on the Mississippi. Yes, the flying carp on the Mississippi. You know what happened, Mark? We had a good laugh the day that the federal government talked about subsidizing. I don't remember the numbers, but they were building like five or seven plants. They were doing the surveys to get it going, but the problem is the government is going to be involved. We don't know what ever really happened to that. But after we talked about it out in the air, somebody had a real smart idea in government. Somebody whose cousin was listening to us and being paid by the government to listen to us, talked to his cousin who talked to Frank who said, Finally, we should do this. We could even make it a program. You know what's interesting, and I don't know who sent me this, but there is a video, and how many of you guys have seen this, showing the guy with his sons in a flat bottom boat going up one of the tributaries in the upper Mississippi, where the carp, these flying fish, the flying carp are. Guys, this is a stream width that's only twice the width, maybe three times the width of the boat in a lot of spots. And as soon as he starts the motor up, they are just, I mean literally, they're so thick that it's hundreds in any image where they're jumping out of the water up and down the stream. They're so thick that they're virtually, you don't have to put a fishing line in the water. The fish are jumping into the boat. It's a fisherman's dream. Just club them. Yeah, yeah, you know just well you can let them sit there long enough and they'll die but you know the thing is they might have out Yeah, they're trying to get back to the water but the fascinating thing is this is like about a five-minute video and he coming off the tributary off the primary and they go into this tributary and they are just everywhere and Immediately two three five feet out of the water now. I've seen the images where they've been on the main river and and they have what they call a clubbing competition guys to see how many. You can go out with bad mitten rackets, baseball bats, golf clubs, everybody is supposed to have a competition where everybody has their theme. The teams go out and they go out and the idea is to club as many of these things and catch them as you can. and the thing is people are losing teeth and busting each other in the head swinging for the fish and missing and finding their buddy in the boat. This is like you said, their complaint was they were trying to figure out how to get rid of these fish. Well, open season. No government interference. They're not native. They escaped by accident. They breed like any other fish. So the only possibility is do the buffalo extermination thing. Open season, unlimited game. And don't tell me I need a permit for anything because I'm not going to bother any other fish. The only thing I'm going to hit are the ones flying out of the water and none of my other fish do that, right? Yeah, you're right. See how easy that is? The government will have some BS by the time they were done. They would have a 20 volume regulation about Chinese flying cart fish fishing and how you have to have knee pads, elbow pads, body armor, the boat has to meet certain specific... blah, blah, blah, blah. And those inhumane harvesting practices. Yeah, and then Peter would be right, how could you hurt those poor flying fish? See, I'd grab a Peter Puth home lady. It would be like Mad Max. I'd have a pole at the front of my 20 foot flat bottom and I'd tie one of the Peter people to the front and let the Carps have their way with them. Mark. Mark. Go ahead. Who do we have? George from Texas. Tell the people who want to hit Carp a don't forget to wear an athletic supporter to protect your family jewels. Oh, these things are mean. There's pictures, like I said, these things come up, people lose their faith, lose their tooth. They come up with a weapon. And in the video, and forgive me, I don't have it saved or I'd even give you the title on the thing. If you go to YouTube, you can probably find it, but these guys are doing this. The guy's got his sons with him, his little guys in the boat. And for giggles, he takes them up this waterway and guys, as soon as they hear that motor, they're in attack mode. and they're popping out of the water by the hundreds, not one or two. We're not talking like you see on the Big River where there'll be two, three, or five at a time. There are hundreds, and I'd count at least, I think, nine or ten fish that just jump in the boat. I mean, I'd keep them. I'd muck! They'd be down. They'll go. Hang on to them, Frank. You know, if you get into areas like that, you might, if you want to take huge numbers of them, electrocute them. The DNR does this. The DNR does it in such a way that they stun the fish and you can selectively take the carp and leave the game fish so you're not breaking any laws. You probably have to get permits and have somebody who knows what they're doing. So you wouldn't end up like the DNR here in Michigan about 12 years ago where they were doing fish surveys here on the Muskegon River mark and stunned a whole bunch of fish to death, about 50,000 pounds of fish to death. So they find themselves, I repeat, so they find themselves. Did I tell you that they find themselves $50,000? Now I have a quarter in my right hand pocket here. If I take it out of my right hand pocket and put it in my left hand pocket, that is the equivalent of what the BNR did. You know I read about in Maryland when they were hunting trying to get rid of the snakefish population, that they had to shock the Yeah, well in this case like I said the cool thing is you've got a creature that's totally contrary to the rest of your population I do like only a track population just yeah, I do them What you do is just yeah booted type catch racks like racks that go out beyond the edge of the boat Drop into the water a little bit and then what you do is you just make enough noise To you know make them make them aggressive which is Doug apparently anything does it if it's a boat motor they hate it and So a little motor up inside the rack would be the way to get it to go and they would, you know, leap up in and then what you do is you drop the gate on the top and then you have a pivot that drops it into the hoppers in the middle of the boat and then you drop the gate, the cage back down, open the, you know, the top of the cage, start the motor up, they all leap right into, I mean they do all the work. Yeah, watching these things they do all the work for you set up a see you know that your your your perch aren't gonna do this your bluegill aren't gonna do this crappies aren't gonna do this trout aren't gonna do this There's no other fish you're gonna catch this way. So there's nobody to worry about there's nothing to say Oh my god, you could be you know, destroying the habitat of Wubble the species. Oh, these other species are gonna be cross hit by no, no, no, no, no The only fish is going to fly into that trap, into that catch bucket, you know so to speak. Think of it like basically what you want is make like a narrow barge. Your operation will be front or rear. You want one spotter in the front and control person, one person in the back. You put the serrated cages, think of them like french fry baskets on either side. Put the motor on the inboard side and each one towards the, you know, the gunwale of the boat. and then what you do is hit the little motor maker. What they did in this video is literally, it's hundreds of them and they start going straight up and at the motor. What you want to do is put a barrier down the center of the boat so any fish that fly across boat hit the barrier, flopped into the boat. Yeah, and they stay right there otherwise they're hopped up. The problem is, I don't think it would take you that long to fill whatever you make. You've got to be able to get down the river. You're going to need a bigger boat. You'd have to have a little fleet of them and you'd have to work in teams. I mean, it wouldn't be a problem, but you know, it's like I said before, there are two ways to do this. If you were going to do it on the river, I would tell anybody you offer them, you know, so many pennies per pound. But you know whole fish because you're not going to care whether they're gutted or not you just tell them hey you bring everything in we account for everything no game fish no other fish other than the flying carp and you bring it to us you come up to our dock we account them and we approve them and you get paid congratulations and half of it could be harvested by other people this is how you make a business. You do your part and even show people, hey, this is what we built. People would go out and make their own catch boats. And then you promote the market and that way you don't do anything other than the final production work because everybody else has got a profit mechanism going. They make some money. Everybody likes killing. Everybody likes fishing. Of course, after a while it would be like work again. But, you know, some people would do it and wouldn't have any problem with it all. Because, you know, time on the river or on the lake is a hell of a lot better than in a car going to work. A bad day fishing, how does that bumper sticker go, is better than a good day at work? It worked. Exactly. Yeah, and you don't have to drop explosives. You don't have to do anything. Except again, the idea is to come up with a system that allows you to harvest at a prescribed altitude, so to speak, so there's no doubt what you're taking in. That eliminates any issues about how you could be harming the rest of the population. Because that is the scam they come up with. As soon as you come up with this idea and you make it work, Some skank federal agency would be on your arse to try and run you out of business so Izzy Blats and Steam could take it over. That's what would happen. That's the only thing you've got to be ready for and that's why you've got to cover all your bases because as soon as you're successful some punk from the bankers operations would be there to try and steal it from you. So you probably have a hit team ready to get rid of them. Really, you want to take over my business? Talk to Fred there. Over in, what do you call that? Special Operations. I mean Special Operations Production. Ever watch Firefly? Remember the first time I heard that? What do you keep him around for? What does he do? What job does he do for you? Public Relations. Remember? What's Jane do? Public relations. Anyway, that's basically the same way. But the pigs are the same way. Here's another one. Maybe our friends in Australia are listening. They piss and moan about all those frogs. Right? The world needs cat food. Remember the frog population and the non-indigenous frogs? Put an open season on them. Turn them into cat food. They love cats in Australia. They love cats in New Zealand. Well, the cats will love frog. You know, it might get away with frogs, but there have been efforts to do that with the roos because there are just so many of them sometimes. Well, they've got rabbits down there that are the... Right, right. ...the indigenous rabbit population. They try to do it with the kangaroos and the PETA people come along. Right. And they know...they actually...Australian's will eat kangaroos, some people will. Well, that's like remembering, here's another one because we talked about we've got the frogs and the bunnies down in Australia. We've got the jackrabbit out west which everybody worries about habitat and the jackrabbits breed up and then they eat out everything and then they kill off everything else if they're not careful. We've got the flying fish. Think about how many different foodstuffs that either steer two things you can do with it. It could be if you were really wanting to get it out fast, it would be cat food. But most of the world is hungry. So why are they hungry? What do they say? The food is not where the people are? But if the food is being produced and the calories are being generated, guys, we produce, and I brought this up many times, what is called Grade C food, meat. It is Grade C meat product. You know what A, Grade A or Double A beef is, right? Have you ever seen grade B beef? Okay, now I challenge you to find out what grade B beef is. Now understand this, they make what's called grade C meat paste. Now if they try to use everything they can off the cow that they can give a hail mary to to make grade A meat stocks like you know Kowalski sausage and bologna, what do you think is grade B stuff? And if you have a grade B and you didn't use all of that up, what the hell is grade C? And give us that description again. Well grade C is what they do. By the time you're done, it is some kind of gray pasty slurry. Oh okay. So it doesn't qualify as the McDonald's pink slime? No, no, no, no. That's three grades above. We're talking, this is the stuff that goes to all these third world countries that you see where they put water in it and they stir it up. Guys, it's gray. It's not pink. It's not yellow. It's not silent yellow. It's not silent red. It's gray and it literally is like the consistency of instant potatoes. Okay, think that way. Think that's how they do it because it's the same machine that they use. They take this slurry of whatever grade C meat is with all of the... once you pressure cook it, I mean all of the... It just falls off and all the maggots and everything in it is dead, right? And it's just more protein. And they mush that all out with slurry and then they dry it out like they do potato flakes and then they put it in a can. and the can is a double size number 10. You know how you got a number 10, one gallon can as you call it? Well, think of a can twice as high and then they put a hands across the water, George Orwell 1984, you know, ink-sog symbol, you know, with the black hand shaking the white hand. And it's the food stuff that they send to like Africa and the Pacific and Asia to, you know, through the UN. That's what we send people. Now, don't you think you'd rather open up a can and find, say, a number 10 can full of boiled frog legs? I would. Wouldn't you rather have a can and open it up and have, let's see, rows of honey? A lay of carp. Yeah, or yeah, carp slabs that have been smoked so you can't tell the difference between them and salmon. Because you really I know I know guys that know how to smoke and know how to fillet fish and they've done this to people for years Oh you want salmon fishing and they're smoking right and they've got salmon slabs on the on the smoker and you can't tell the difference If you know what to do with the mud vane and everything else, that's why carper brought to the United States You know carper or were a food fish that was brought from overseas guys to be used here as a food fish because they're kind of slow and easy to catch and That's why we harpoon them Well, we use a multi-tie spear to snag them and it's one of the many different fishing experiences here in Michigan and all over the country. If you catch them on your book, some of them put up quite the fight. Oh hell yeah, you're a fish and I'll make. Yeah, they are just a plain tow boat going in the other direction. Guess what? You have to keep working to bring them in and that will be an all day affair. A little battleship, yeah. Again, there is another foodstuff though. Think about it. What would you rather have? That grade C food junk that whatever the hell it is, God knows what diseases are with it. Or you could have Hasenfeffer slash Western Rabbit. or flying cart filet, which personally I'd be willing to bet probably doesn't taste bad at all. To be quite honest, there's many ways to do it and the cuisine is as old as fish and starvation itself. If you look at again, those still portraits, forgive me, those still images that are paintings from the 15th century and the 16th century that are still lifes of a kitchen in Europe, There's a string of 40 or 50 chickadees hanging by a string over on the next to the cutting rack. Maybe even a buck. Yeah, and two or three carp or big mouth fish that don't look like game fish that you've ever seen. Why? Because they're not. That's the reality of Gee, well remember the other thing they finally acknowledged after all these years that that was a mini Ice Age? So people were kind of like, what's that word? Starving? Yeah. Wow, I guess all those little critters like the 4 and 20 blackbirds just did get into the pie, didn't they? Oh yeah. And they weren't alive to be cut out. They were kept in there and plucked and properly sauteed and everybody said, good blackberry pie, ma'am. Can't believe, ma'am, can I have some more? Go ahead, come in there. Yeah. I was kind of wondering how exactly how do you make that and I got a pie pumpkin and started cutting it up. It seems kind of hard and it doesn't have much flavor, but did I pick the wrong pumpkin? No, no, you're good. You can either let it sit and ripen longer, which is an option. But as it is, it strips about a quarter of an inch thick in an angle like you would a wedge from top to bottom. and then you can cut that, depending on how big it is, cut those into halves or thirds. I like to taper cut it so it's got like a little bit of an angle on each end. And what you do is make up a, for instance, molasses, brown sugar, a little bit of honey, whatever you want to do, and what you do is you paint the pumpkin, and what I do is actually paint the pumpkin with the molasses, and then, or dip it, you can do that too. and then take the brown sugar and spread it on it like you'd be doing say squash and put it in your dryer that way and the brown sugar will work randomly into the pumpkin it'll dry it up and you can do well actually we've done Mexican we've done you know sweet you know like Canadian sweet like with maple syrup and molasses I like using molasses that's cheap and with brown sugar and or you can do honey you can do any number of different combinations remember it's a gourd to begin with so it's like squash you know you can go in a lot of different directions with the flavor so it's perfect just cut it about a quarter of an inch thick you're going to get a little bit of wedge to it because it's circular do you know obviously a circular fruit you know circular plant you can boil it if you want you know like to a blanch it to soften it up You can either leave the skin on or you can cut the skin off. It's up to you. The skin is edible, it's chewy. If I were looking at disaster food, I wouldn't be throwing any of it away. But if you're worried about the little stringy with the outer shell, then just very carefully peel that off or take off as little of the meat as you can and then put that in the food dryer that way. Right now it's kind of hard, so you're saying just leave it sit a while? Well, you can let it sit. If you haven't cut it yet or if you've cut it, you can let it sit a little bit, but you can actually, if it's probably a little green still it sounds like, it still will work. What you can do is blanch it a little bit. Don't boil it. Boil it. Just take the boiling water going, put some sliver it lengthwise. and then dip it in the boiling, using a boiling rack, put it into the boiling water, pull it back out and then do everything we talked about. It's the same thing you do when you dry potatoes. You boil the potatoes, you get them to a mild boil, then pull them out, then slice them. That's the trick to doing dried potatoes. That way when you rehydrate the potato it's already cooked. It's basically like doing Uncle Ben's perverted rice, because it's already cooked. Now, why does this work? Oh, you don't want to know what Uncle Ben does to it, but it works. Oh, you mean converted rice. Yeah, yeah. What was it converted to? Tell me that one, okay? I just wondered about the title. It's like Uncle Ben's converted rice. Well, converted to what? It's rice, isn't it? Oh, no, you don't want to know what Uncle Ben did to that. Trust me. Just don't even think about it. Well, running back along the same thought line about what would you rather eat. Hey, it's deer season in Michigan here in just a little while and plenty of you boes season Guys that have been out there sitting in your tree and watching and watching and waiting for that 32 pointer might have seen a coyote run by. Now, it's been said on the hour before, you know coyotes come in, they denude the land. They eat the birds, they eat a squirrel, if they can catch it on the ground they dig up the groundhogs and I'm not particularly affectionate when it comes to eating groundhogs. But if it's the difference between eating rabbits and birds or wild dogs, I vote. But remember, if you don't have refrigeration, two-day-old coyote is better than what, Mark? Yeah. Well, you see there again, I'm going to point something out. You know that's another thing about meat curing. You know if you do the study, I mean I can't we'll give you a lot of homework on this program Go find out about the beef eater and what his job was and what the what these guys did for a living But also find out how they did cured beef Now once you find out how they did traditional cured beef you'll go how is it they all didn't die? You see I mean seriously, it's like my god you did what? but they told me if i do that i'd die at my pre-order or fall over in you know make it to a you know it don't be from within or whatever it it's like uh... uh... we know that we call it follow what you would call them we call them fall for a reason but it used to be like uh... have it to let a bird hang for four or six days if i yeah i don't know if you have a there was a debate about whether you should wait you should be a wait like just a set number of days or if you should wait until the bird rots off the nail. You hang it by its head. The idea was to drive the nail through its neck. And the idea was that, well, you wanted it to cure, to get a better flavor. I don't know what that flavor is. But we do hang meat anyway. I mean, we actually do. You don't realize it, but remember when you're in a cutting house, meat hangs and cures to a degree in all the chilled houses no matter what. But in this case we're not talking a chilled house. We're talking a... We're not talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're not talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a... We're talking a I would say after four or five days in a warm environment there could be all kinds of things going at it before it fell off that nail and they don't have anything to do with four legs. That's okay Mark, more protein. Yeah. Remember with the beef eater and with curate beef you used vinegar as part of the inventory of things that had to be in the beef eater's tools of the trade. Because when you let the beef age, the mold level was supposed to be 3. You were gauging how deep the mold, the fluffy mold would grow before you bathed the whole thing in vinegar to wash off the mold. And it's measured in inches, guys. You ever seen like you come into a sink and you find the sink has me like somebody abandoned the hotel or the Abandoned the house and you come in because you got a you know, we've got to take care of something and the the kitchen sink has a mold It's like six to eight inches worth of fog over top of the unwashed dishes Have you ever seen that I have? working with them kids Or my favorite the three Muslim men who lived in Northwood five Well, their belief is that only women should be doing the housework and they didn't have a woman with them. So guys, since they didn't use the bathtub, they kept buying new dishes and they would eat off the dishes until they couldn't eat off them anymore because they were too thick with debris and they would stack them in the bathtub. They had already stacked up the kitchen sink on one side and filled that with dirty dishes caked with all kinds of foods. Then they left. There were probably 50-60 8-Dish sets along with the cups and bowls. There was a cloud of mold that was 3 feet deep over the bathtub. puffed up over the bathtub like it was a living cloud and there's an example of what we're talking about well you think about this they would cultivate that on the beef and that's aged beef that's how you're supposed to age beef it's kind of like well where do you think we got blue cheese from huh yeah I know and I still We're not supposed to think these things through. You're supposed to not think about it. You're supposed to just assume that, well, we've always done things the way we do them now. And amazingly enough, you have to ask the basic question, why didn't all these people die from eating this stuff? Because what I'm telling you is only a small portion of some of the things that were done which are like, oh man, you can't tell me they're doing that. Oh yes, they are. It's like going to the other part. Again, here's cuisine. You can go right now to the Asian food store. you will find a dozen eggs or four eggs or six eggs and they're little nested clear plastic containers and those eggs well the container is shaped like an egg the pod but there's no shell and they're black and they're green what are those? They tell you they're a thousand years old. A thousand year egg! Now, do you know how they make thousands of your eggs? Here's a quick recipe. It doesn't take a thousand years, but they'll probably last a thousand years. They smell like they've been there for a thousand years. Well, what they do is you take an egg, you dip it in a lime, and you don't refrigerate it. So it's going to be a raw, fresh egg that's fertilized. You dip it in the lime several times, soak it and dip in the lime, soak and dip in the lime. Then you put it over to the south side of the house, dig up some soil, take the eggs, bury them on the south surface, south face, and walk away for about a month, not a thousand years. Now the eggs are cultivated, they're fertile, so again, there's little chicks inside. But you've hardened the shell and you've buried it, so the poor little things can't get out. So they die inside. Then they molt her inside their juices and then they perfect into a kind of a really hideous like black and green jelly and That's what you're waiting for that fine next meal of thousand-year egg. It's been wait a thousand years Well for the chicken dying like that it was like a thousand years wasn't it? Oh did I say that yes, I did See you think some of the stuff you might have to eat is bad just think about some of the other stuff somebody's gonna sit across the table from and again slide over to you and You're supposed to be courteous enough that you have to eat it because it's the finest of what they have available I'm sure I asked what that is. No, I wouldn't ask what that is Again, it's not three-day old coyote. Yes You wish yeah Anyway guys, creativity, well we got it again. See, you thought MREs were bad, right? Everybody thought those C-rations were bad, right? Well, most guys eating C-rations in Vietnam could look over at the cuisine that some of those people cooked there and go, ah, C-rations ain't that bad after all. Beats fried snake. Yep, that's right. Wow, I can handle the awesome deep fried snake. Sounds pretty good right now. Ooh, that'd be a good meal for this evening. How did he kill that snake? It was big enough to swallow him. Remember that line from Pet the Patriot? Oh, dog is a fine meal. Yes. And they both look very excited and nod at each other and grin and smile. Yeah, dog is a fine meal. Yep, let's try to avoid that. Not that we can't do it, but let's try to work on doing a better job. You know what I mean? We'll do that as we have to. Anyway, we are at the top. Before we go any farther, Don, your number for night vision, what do you have available and what's changing? Give us the information before we go, please. Hey, there's a couple of, there's a couple, there's more than a couple, but the pile is pretty small when it comes to that 4-power first generation gun sight, you guys. The one that is .308 capable and will land right in your mailbox for $390. That is a finite resource now. We've got the 6 power after that, but it's going away too. I've got a second generation viewer, a second generation gun sight at 980 and 1245. I've got a piece of thermal. I can put it right in your hand, right in your mailbox. It'll be delivered overnight from the manufacturer for $1,890 right in your mailbox. A piece of thermal fits in your cargo pocket or your BDUs. My phone number is two three one seven nine six four eight three one seven nine five eight green screens are thermal and you know some of these guys you're gonna go out and you're gonna hunt for the 32 pointer and You take that second deer and you really don't need it. You might want to think about somebody you know the food oh Come on where you can go and get free food Someone needs it the food dispensaries And I know that's not the word. But think about it, you guys, because we've addressed this at the beginning of every hunting season. There's, I think, one in five children wakes up, goes to bed hungry here in America. And you know, that 32-pointer, and you shoot another deer, and you really don't need it, you can direct it to a place. Farmers against hunger, hunters against hunger, things like that, there's a good place for your excess venison to go. And I know that some... of you people, man, there's no such thing as excess venison. I know that. But if you could find that little bit of extra, send it in the right direction, somebody will appreciate it even if they never get to pat you on the back and say thanks. Thank you, Mark. Very good. And for everybody out there, guys, remember while you're dealing with a stranger and we have a friend available, we won't force you to eat coyote, nor a thousand of your eggs. But look outside. It's getting dark. It's going to get darker. We're going to be able to fight under all conditions. Talk to Don, find out more about night vision technology and capabilities. We're going to be seeing some interesting developments progressively over through to the end of the year here. And expect it to get worse as far as availability. Anyway, we're at the top here. We're a number of subjects we want to cover and Don and I are going to be going over tomorrow morning. I had a touch time during the floor block. But we're going to get into it more heavily. Why are, what do you want from this cause and from this effort? Because we're going into a war. We're gonna be fighting for our liberty. But we better have a standard. We need to establish it. You need to be part of that. We want your input. Anyway, and again, feedback. The idea is this is a forum so that we can discuss the subject. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Hurrah! You give them a slap, beat them down hard, don't let them get back up, and then, well, you figure out what you're gonna do with them. I'm not right there at the moment. I'm going to be able to do that. HempUSA.org urges everyone to plan ahead for possible food shortages in the future. We offer this dense, nutrient-storeable food directly from the farm to your door.

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 fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You 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 and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? 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 torture freedom burning bright. Please stand by while we try to reconnect. We praise the God of the Land!
