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. 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 is 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 brought. 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 will 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 for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. Runny with FM Micro stations. CB base stations and Ultra Net technologies east and west of the Mississippi. along with Alaska Hallmark Network from the top of 8 to the bottom of Florida. The bottom of Florida is the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, and the 13 sisters on the left side of the state. Waving to Colorado, we also say good afternoon to our friends out there in Mmm, great state of Jefferson, because they still got sunlight out there. We're dark, and they're not quite. And turn it back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies, where the restaurant crews, Grandma teams, OK teams, and Maville Grandma Consortium bring us the Golden Spike Don. What is the day today, sir? Mark, it is the 17th day of November, year of our Lord 2014, and it was a little bit snowy and wet, It took about an hour to replace the fill up the tracks in the road and then it looked like nothing had been there. It's been snowing that much and well we're going to get some more and that's kind of across the Midwest and you guys are cold down in Texas I'm told. We're cold here right now too. Temperatures dropping with the gust out of the west and the north a little bit so probably coming from your direction. For everybody out there, square everything away, get everything plugged in, and don't forget to check your gas, make sure your fuel is all up where it needs to be with your backup generators, etc. And a reminder for everybody that we are looking at a very busy, busy season coming up here. A couple things I want to touch on, and we got Don here with us, but I'm going to reinforce this again. Oh, wait a minute, before I go any farther, ba-da-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-d Another victory for our boys on the Melbourne Front. Well, wait a minute. No, not quite that, but Charles Manson's getting married. Oh, I'm kidding. Mary's licensed anyway. Well, turns out that, and again, Henry's got this at the top of the scroll right now. It's in Yahoo News. It's like number two. Parker in California, mass murderer Charles Manson has gotten a license to marry a 26 year old woman who visits him in prison. The King's County marriage license, viewed one day by the Associated Press, was issued November 7th for the 80-year-old Manson and Afton Elaine Burton, who left her Midwestern home nine years ago and moved to Corcoran, California, the site of the prison, to be near Manson. She maintains several websites advocating Manson's innocence. And of course she looks kind of like she's got that share image down guys. You know, classic for the... Yeah, you know, back in the good old late 60s, early 70s. 60s dude. Yeah, I got you babe. You know, I know you may be behind the bars, but don't worry I won't go very far. I got you babe. Oh baby, I got you. And by the way, all of Carvas swastika in my head. And then I'll choke you till you're dead. I got you babe. Oh, I got you babe. So anyway, well he did more than that. Well, he wasn't the one. He was a director so other people did all the... He was a general, yeah. Yeah, icky nasty stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, Chuck's getting married and he's 80 years old and she's 26. I'm a union maiden Hades. What can we say? So... Wow. Yeah, well I'm sure she's working on a book too so he guaranteed that's coming. It's pretty hard to visit, Mark. You would understand sometimes if you're not a relative of someone in jail, sometimes they just deny. You're not going to be able to visit that person. Oh, yeah. It's just arbitrary on their part. It's totally arbitrary on the facilities part. Oh, let alone someone as notorious or... infamous, I was going to say drop the in there, as Charles Manson, a groupie in every other email or every third letter, every other letter at least. Well, the interesting thing too about this is, see I don't know about the Corcoran Complex, the Corcoran facilities there in California, Corcoran, California. Let's see, what's the name of the facility? What's in Corcoran, California. But anyway, they could have a number of different secure levels. I don't know what level he's at. He might have gotten down to level two. Remember, they typically with the system the way it's set up, level two, which is still where you can find baby reapers, mass murderers, baby killers. They can get down to level two, but they can't get below that. And usually again, like I told you, they'll work up to maximum if they want to vacation and then come back down to a lower level over a period of years. It takes years. You all think we... prisoners plan ahead like star ship operations guys. You know what your career is going to be in Starfleet in this case. So it's interesting that again, They've got him popped up in the news, especially at this window in time. Of course he's 80 years old. I don't know what his physical condition is. Not really been following the Manson. I'm going to 1968-1972 Cher, just think there and you've got her pretty well picked. She can't believe that Charlie was connected with those murders because she wasn't born yet! It wasn't anywhere near the era so it's really easy to understand. Another thing real quick on the next image on the scroll here, I had to point this out. Now, we all know what it looks like outside. Everybody pretty well understands the temperature. The picture is showing the Fuggalicious' out there with their bare butt hanging out and their no shirts. I don't think we're going to see a whole lot of that if they decide to have the riot or whatever they're going to have. I don't think we're going to see a whole lot of naked Africanus, Babinus out there screaming and hollering and doing whatever. Okay? Photo op! It's like nothing could happen. So that picture probably could be kind of thrown out the window as far as worrying about what's going to transpire. It might look more like Nanooka the North, which probably is good for the, I guess, the rioters because it offers a little more protection if they got cold weather gear on. So, just something to think about there. If they're going to be raping, killing, pillaging, and burning, there's more places to hide stuff and more pockets to put loot in. Especially if you pick a coat that's got a big, you know, a bad boost pocket on the back or something. Anyway! Well, it's a difficult call that everybody covers up their faces while they're doing that. Then it's, you know, nondescript in the metered justice. Right, they can't say they were trying too. It was just the cold weather. If they were going to riot, they had to write in comfort. Yeah. Well, anyway, the big thing here again, as I pointed out, is, it's in the scroll, by the way, going farther back. I'm going to start with the Ferguson thing first, real quick, for those of our friends that are coming in to the late evening program and aren't necessarily here for the afternoon program. The one thing about this Ferguson scam, for instance, they're pushing the, if you defend yourself when they come to rape and kill and pillage and burn, you're a racist. Because the Klan said they're going to shoot people who try to, you know, you know, lie and rape and pillage and burn. So you're like with them, it's like, you know, there's no doubt in my mind that the whole, that whole Tempest of Teapot was done by Homeland Security. Seriously, from both sides. You know, the scam where supposedly the anonymous is doing the, the Klan said at this site! And it's like, really? How do you know it's Klan? Who's there? And who's running it? And it's likely it's not either Southern Proversion Law, ADL, or Homeland Security. Most likely. Number one. Number two is the whole idea if you pay attention, unfocus, ignore the players, pay attention to the pattern. If you defend yourself, you're a racist. Really? Well, I'm really not worried about my enemy. Calling me names or making trouble because you're my enemy. I don't care what you title. But wait a minute, put that coin. If you attack me because I'm white and you think that I have something to do with the killing of Thugalicious, you must be racist. Right. Well, you know, we can't do that because the whole idea here is to make everybody, especially white bread America that got the, you know, shotguns maybe bought a box of ammo. Why you're supposed to hesitate like in the movies and all of a sudden the writers are going to show compassion You know like they do when they beat down women or torture you know women and like couples to death and chop them into pieces You know, I mean they'll kill you a little quicker Yeah, you think they'll kill you quicker because you'll be nicer and they'll turn the gun on you I mean seriously, because what they're trying to do here, this is homeland security, the whole thing is, why? We got homeland security piling up all over the place. We're not talking state police, they're bad enough and they're all tied in, joined at the hip with homeland security, so they're all prostitutes anyway. But with regard to local enforcement, the Fed's going to come in, they're going to, of course not. First you have Knuckle Dragging Street Gang number one, that's the rioters. They come in and to find justice they gotta go steal the spandex underwear from that shop that's got plywood all over it and they gotta beat the door in. And the owner who might be armed, the only thing he can do is use the gun on himself and blow his own brains out to make his death quicker because if he does anything else he's evil and bad for doing it. And let's steal a cigar so we can make a blunt in memory of Mikey. Yeah, everybody. You gotta share those. Actually, they were supposed to, as part of the agreement, have boxes on standby by the front door so everybody could do that. As cases on Standby, they're supposed to order extra. I don't know if they did, but the store owners were supposed to apologize for their existence, be prepared to be burned out after, of course, all your property is ransacked, but provide the swisher suites that they need for the rest of the project. And it was part of the agreement. They went to the White House. The White House said, we'll send that memo to all the store owners. Okay? But then we have the other knuckle-dragging street gang in the black uniforms who are on Standby. And after they show their professional courtesy and do their unka, unka on the street, like the street gangs who first said they were after the cops but immediately turn left and right and go after the middle class private properties and store owners, Well, then the knuckle-dragging black uniform crew comes out and after the people have defended themselves, wherever Americans have decided that their life is of value, the federal government will come in and confiscate the guns there because they have to make everybody a victim. Do you see the pattern here? In other words, there will be the riders on the street but the riders will disappear because they got their government checked to do what they're doing. And now they've done their job so they will fade away and there will be lots of mystery about where they went even though they all came from the same neighborhoods. Right? There will be a mystery and nobody will be sure who the rioters were even though this is the age of cameras. And cell phones can be tracked within a foot and a half or wherever you're standing. And all they have to do is look at, let's say the riot happens at 9 o'clock at night on Schmidlap Street. All they have to do with Homeland Security's complete monitoring of the 800 Meg system is ID every phone that's in the line on the skirmish line with the other side, right? And everybody's carrying a cell phone. And then with the cell phone confrontation ping records, they can go right back to where they came from and follow them right to their doorstep, can't they? But you know what's not going to happen? What I just described. See, if we live in the 21st century, then we do live in the 21st century, right Don? Oh yeah, can't be denied. But instead what will happen is, oh, back, back, back, back, and then they'll disappear and then they'll be kind of stunned. And then the cops will turn sideways and they'll go, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come and see us, come and see Bitter. Oh, oh, I'm sorry? You know, secret police, we're here to check your guns and confiscate them because we've got an order to do so. Oh, well you weren't here when they were raping and killing everybody in the house next door. No, and I don't care. I got an order from the regime to get your guns. And don't you think that's in the works? Don't you all remember? See, we don't have to make this up. Katrina! Homeland Security! Regional Police! Homeland Security Pigs! Katrina! Off-escape the guns from the homeowners! Remember that one? Now, if a Republicans would do that, What do you think the orders are of this pig communist we have in the outhouse right now? If the neocon Bushite would give that order, well, what do you think this communist is going to do? Please, anybody? Oh, did I map it out properly for everyone? Oh yeah. So, vote with your wallet, buy more ammo. Or, leave the Ferguson area back off and let them nuke from orbit, which they won't do because too much professional courtesy and political chicanery amongst street gangs. The Black Rock Street Gang and the other street gang. And the blue ones with the red rags and the ones with the blue rags. What's that called, Fluffy? What's at your front? I'm from down here near New Orleans and everybody down here remembers that. And I don't think there's going to be anywhere near so many people willing to put up with that crap. No, not this time around. No, that's the difference. This is not that era anymore. Everybody in America pretty well has got a good feel for what's going on. And if you know, it's really bizarre is on the one hand they're there stir in the pot and they may decide they're going to use the riders on us and then use a secret police but one way or another they were both going to get shot. You know, this time around, even back when Katrina took place, I told them, you know, here's how it works. I'm the homeowner. I'm on this side of the door. You're on the other, go on down the road and find some criminals. Go on down the road and find some criminals. I'm going to tell you one more time, go on down the road and find some criminals. We're done talking. From this point forward, whatever happens, happens. See, that's the attitude everybody... some towns did that. Some places, FEMA and Homeland Security was coming across the bridge and they stopped them at different locations because they joined up and made local militias. What everybody needs to be doing and we need to hammer this over and over again. What I just talked about, repeat it, replay it, what we just talked about. But one way or another, express to everybody, you better be arming up. Christmas had better be a gun up holiday. If they want to push Christmas early, good. Start buying your ammunition early. Since they don't want to acknowledge an American holiday called Thanksgiving anymore, then fine. Let's just make it one big merry buy some more shotgun shell holiday. Don't buy any of their Chinese junk. Don't buy any of their, unless it's, you know, again, there's some cheap hardware that we can get, like I said, go to wrapfor.com, get those $20 assault vests, go to airsoft-club, go to their special section, look at some of their bags for under $10. They're worth it. But other than that, buy American or buy at least ammunition no matter where it's from. Buy more ammo, buy more ammo, give Uncle Fred, give Wilma, give Barney, give everybody, even little Toto, give him ammunition for the holidays. Here's a little caveat. If you're looking at a can of .50 caliber and it's got the Chinese head stamp on it, it'll look like Chinese characters. Buy it, but it's probably not going to fit in your match grade gun. It'll fit in your machine gun chamber your field chamber But it probably won't you'll have to force that bolt closed and we've addressed that a number of times It's kind of all right you might find that you guys I have so again, you know Get ready. Oh by the way, you know, thank you guys before I forget and I put in our favorites for Liberty Tree radio I told you guys everything is coming out of the woodwork Well, guess what? World War II, 50 caliber bolt-action single-shot rifles. Remember those big beasts that were about 7 feet long guys? Well, there's an excellent series of little videos out there floating around YouTube from the last 48 hours or so showing them deploying the wet-mills rifles. and they're using iron sights. It's the gun you'll see like it's Stalingrad when they wiped out whole Russian units in the later stage. Actually both in the earlier and the later stage but then obviously things went bad for the Germans. You'll see these rifles stacked like cordwood because like the RPG-7 they integrated them through the whole squad to the squad. and every squad had one. That was their equivalent back in the day to having an RPG. I think I have films of a Russian skiing squad, every man equipped with one. I think I have been on film you guys. So again, that's another one of those weapons like the SKS as it showed up the other day. These are weapons either being pulled out of inventories or being pulled out of route sellers. You know what I mean? A lot of stuff laying around after a battle and if a peasant farmer is smart he just shuts up. Oh yeah, I don't know where it went. Yeah, and so the, and what's interesting is there's one that looks, hold on for a second, I know we know the color. The other thing I thought was interesting is one of them looks like a 14.5 millimeter shoulder fired gun. And that beast when he pulls the trigger, oh let me tell you. You'd best be leaning into it. Oh yeah, but it's bigger still than the 50. It's bigger, longer, and obviously it's a bigger bore by a few more millimeter, but it's just the idea, it's also a bigger case. and it's very distinct. That's why I was looking at the empty cases with the one gun and going, hmm, that looks like a 14.5. And then I was looking and I had the 50 right there with it where the two of them are firing together and you can tell just even though the one's farther back, looking at the design, the scale, yes, the 14.5 is, that's definitely a 14.5 gun. So there's a lot of interesting stuff we're looking at. And we had another caller there, caller, jump in, please. Yeah, I was talking to a certain major the other day, I retired, I retired with a veteran and He was telling me, this is kind of off subject a little bit, he was telling me that some lady holds the longest shot for 2.1 miles. Is that possible? And then my second thing is, he also said that some of the equipment, the optics that they're using now, you can put in your pocket, there's some binoculars he said you can put in your pocket, and you can see Two miles away with them, just like if you're having a conversation with your friend, just sitting down at a barstool three feet away. That's how close you can see the guy. I mean, is that kind of optics even for real? And is that shot for real? No matter how much you want to spend. The problem is, yeah, the optics, you can compress What would normally be a telescopic system into a refractor, a series of refractors over and over and over again and get the same kind of focal capability. So, yeah, being able to see out to 2 miles is not difficult, but the problem is, of course you may have also incorporated digital technology into that too, why not? But the conventional optics have been available for quite some time. Now, the one extreme is not to go with a tiny pocket pair, but rather if you notice Naval optics or border control optics where you see the binoculars that are held there as long as a rifle barrel, 20 some inches long. And those will dry again and you can count pimples at two miles. But they were designed originally for ocean going service and they've been dragged over into a lot of other operations, typically like the North-South Korean border, the East-West border with Berlin, you know, that kind of thing. The problem with dragging an image really, really close to you like that, it looks like you're standing there talking to the person, is mirage. You're only going to get real crisp image like that a few times, perhaps in the morning, just before the sun starts to heat everything up, and then in the evening as the air is still just the temperature and things start to stabilize before the evening breezes come in. But to bring an image that close, mirage really starts to be a factor. Even in what appears to be a very calm and not humid and not real hot date. Tie that in with the fact that the farther you are away, any distortion, any movement at all with your hands, with your arms, is immediately going to affect your ability to stay on target. Grounding a scope is one thing. Grounding a pair of binoculars, unless they're fixed to something rigid, just think about what kind of motion problems you have at 600 to 1000 yards. See, that's the only problem with small optics. It sounds really cool. Smaller is not better. I mean, this is something we've gotten into for years is that, first of all, it's not economical. I mean, no matter what we come up with, there's always the issue of to make it smaller, they've driven the price up if it's not something that's mass produced. So the price range is in what we call goof level. Where it's like yeah, I can afford six of those or ten of those it's like the present writers were buying right now We can afford a whopping what 60 70 maybe 90 and then we've already got problems with Chinese parts And now we've admitted that the Chinese made an exact copy for one-tenth what we're making ours for which by the way the word is flying now This guy was special You know, he had everything we had in like a long conversation every whether we you know start talking about so much that talking about that I said talking about that I can't talk about that. You know, he was real Well, the problem is that even if it is so specialized that it is not likely to be, if you do capture it, it would be nice, but it is not relevant to our present conditions. In other words, it is so few and far between and if, again, with the With less expensive and quite reasonably priced optics and a little bit of work, we can reach those distances golf balling in. If you can reach 1,600 yards, for instance, and we can keep it inside a 40 gallon upright barrel, that's a person. It was like the one sergeant, he was a command sergeant major on my shooting team. He said, what good is your 45 going to be at 100 yards? And he said, well, I'm going to make you real nervous at 100 yards. How does that sound? Now you've got to remember this is a man who put five rounds into an area the size of a silver dollar at a hundred yards with a 45. But he's pointing out that, well okay, if I didn't hit you at least you're not going to stand there and wonder what I'm shooting at you with. You know what I mean? In other words, if you had splat splat splat going on the wall next to you guys you're going to stand there and go, nah nah nah, you didn't hit me. You all know better than that. You're taking cover and getting out of the way. Well that's what his pistol work was supposed to do. If you can't hit him, at least you can keep him busy while the guy with the big guns does his job. In other words, I'm the only one that saw him, so pop, pop. You put two rounds down range. You drive the enemy to cover, you drive the enemy down, so now they can't move forward. As long as you can reduce their ability in any way, shape, or form, you're contributing to the battlefield. See, that's where everybody says the handgun isn't relevant. That's all BS, as far as I'm concerned. Like I've said, consider if we were to think economically Look at how many of these video tapes are you see these guys burning full rifle calibers in close range shooting. Be quite honest I'd be telling everybody hey everybody carry either a machine pistol or a light you know like a volume fire pistol and when you get into contact if we need to burn ammunition if I'm going to keep his head down why don't I carry three times under the very argument of why I carry the M16 as opposed to the 308. Well, why not carry a zip gun, a buzz gun, submachine gun in 9mm? And if I'm going to consume ammo with the assumption I can't hit you anyway, then why not do something where I'm not losing as much? You see what I mean? This is where we talk about the golf club syndrome. In this day and age, if I've got a 5 pound M16, why can't I carry a 2 pound or a 1.5 pound or a 1 pound pistol made by H&K or whoever, right? I mean, come on, I see so much weight off in one direction, I can carry a complete second weapon system without any complication. That's the whole idea. There's one lady that he was serving with, I don't think this person, I don't mean to interrupt you guys, but he was saying this one lady who served with him gave a 2.1 mile headshot, and he said, stuff lady holds the record for the longest shot in the military. Do you guys have you heard anything like that before? If he is, okay, it's possible. I mean anything theoretically shooting That's the first thing I have to ask, you know, like a five inch Yeah, no, I have something he does kind of like that It was a sniper shot with a 90 millimeter gun that's possible. Yeah Well, yeah, but okay, but my point is it I'm not really joking because you know That's one of the things you could do. You know Bradley's can be used single shot people Don't forget remember that a lot of weapons can be used single shot that aren't right shoulder fired arms But as far as the idea of two miles, I've seen you there's guys out there and then the people were you know being Inspired by a lot of these guys have been in Afghanistan your government paid for it's like I've said before when government pays for the ammo You can afford to burn it And that's where we've tried to emphasize you've got to get up on that learning curve so that when you do get out there in those maximum ranges, you're already up to speed in understanding what your weapon does. That's where Airsoft gets you into the basic training phase for a lot of your new shooters. Then it'd graduate to the conventional and then to specialized weapons, depending upon your skill. And you can press that envelope, but 2 miles, you know, you're 2.1 miles, this sounds impressive, but I'm, as far as it being a headshot, if it was, it was a lucky headshot. In other words, you know, there's a pipe plate and there's a 40 gallon barrel underneath it. Well, he just actually happened to catch the pipe plate maybe. Maybe. And even there, I'd be questioning that. In other words, how many rounds were dumped down range and what was it they were using? Because there's a lot of, you know, we're really secret. We originally before, consider this, before most people knew it, remember that the .50 caliber M2 machine gun was being used in single shot sniper mode back during Vietnam. And most people had never heard of that and didn't believe it. Well, taking a bigger gun and doing the same thing with that, I had a barber and when the Germans got upset they used to dump 88s at 1000 yards on infantry. That's a hell of a sniper rifle. But you know what? It's like he said, the optics on the 88 was designed to knock down aircraft at 22,000 feet. So shooting at an infantryman at 1000 to 2000 yards wasn't really a big deal. It's like we had him in Borscht in Fritz. Yeah, he had a chunk of his, remember I talked about it, he went to Florida here back in the 90s. But he had a chunk of his hip that was taken out. It was a crescent. You could lay your wrist in it and half of your wrist would be gone. Okay, would be sunk into his thigh, into his hip area. That's where the round hit him that took him out. And that was, he said, I was 1,200 yards out, approximately 1,000 to 1,200. He goes, I was close to 1,200. He was running along with a wheelbarrow. and he said it felt like his leg. He didn't have any clue what even happened. He didn't even hear the thing go by or go through him. He said I just fell over to my left and flopped over sideways and he goes I couldn't move. And then I figured he was in tall grass and he was going back to pick up another casualty with a wheelbarrow and the only reason somebody knew where he was is because one of the other medics running by saw it because he was in three foot tall wheat, tall grass. The other guy, one of the other medics saw the wheelbarrow and thought, oh, wheelbarrow! And he ran over the wheelbarrow and that's where he found him. And so the first thing he did is he said, I got another guy I've got to pick up worse than you. Went and got him, dumped that guy back, came back with a wheelbarrow and picked him up. But it was an 88 gun that was sniping the whole unit at over 1,000 yards. So it doesn't have to be a rifle and a crucified weapon works just as well. So a lot of times this stuff, when they tell you things like this, I'll give you part of the story because the rest is classified. I've got a better habit of meeting these guys in bars so the beer starts talking. There's a lot of stuff that people have heard about and not necessarily. Again, that's where it comes from, a bar talk to begin with. It doesn't mean it can't be done but you've got to remember to dial up the technology. You're starting to look at the point where do you really benefit from spending that kind of money on an individual target? See that's the balance with infantry operations is can I get that real sophisticated computer between your ears which that mechanical one is trying to copy. If I focus on training the man I can do anything that that computer can do and I can do it with perfect repetition. I've watched that with hundreds of men with 45's. It will take and put group after group in an area the size of your thumbnail, myself included, over and over. And you know what we compete against? Because some people have the equivalent to half of a crescent off of that group. and you're all competing and that's how tight it is. And maybe once in a while somebody screws up and there's a stringer that ends up outside of that group maybe out of four, four on the bump and one's like say off by three quarters of that crescent, there are three quarters of that circle and that puts that guy in the lower aggregate. Think about it, that's how, and think about a hundred men, two hundred men, three hundred men competing all with that kind of skill in handgun. So making men that can do that with a rifle is not only possible, it's been done. It's already demonstrated. We're just not doing it. That's what pisses me off about most is everybody tells me, we can reach past 200 yards. And it's like, really? I want to fight you when the time comes. See, that's what I've said. Change the dynamic. Change the mindset. Every individual out there could be a long-range rifleman, and there's no reason not to be. Now, would all of you be a Carlos Hathcock? No, well, it depends. I mean to this day and age, look at all the cheap optics and everything we can pick up. We can outfit ourselves at least equally to that man and what he had to work with, you know, as a marine sniper. Think about that. So we can provide the tools en masse. Then we do have other technologies we can prey upon that we didn't have back in the day or that they could have used but decided not to. You mean like rangefinders, like laser rangefinders? Sure. You guys, when we talk about laser rangefinders on the hour, we encourage you to study its use. Yes. Not its deployment, its use. So that sometime when you look at something, you might say, that's 700 and That's 780 yards and you get out your laser and you poke the laser downrange and it's 784 yards dang That's what you want to strive for with your laser not you want if you need confirmation Well, you might want to get it out, but when you're playing with your laser rangefinder now, you're not just deploying it Are you you're studying it aren't you that's a hundred and seventy yards away and your spotter says it's 190 And you know what? You bring up the laser and it splits the difference. It's 181 yards. Wouldn't that be nice? That's what you strive for. In fact, by being able to reinforce it, you're mentally bringing the math into play and tightening up your calculations. Eventually you will match. It's just like anything else. It's second nature. It's like Kentucky windage. Okay, the idea that you can dial up a gun But you don't have to change your dial up or change the dial center if you already know that, okay, I'm going to have to compensate by 1 1 6 inch left of the target by this optical image I have. So you push to one hair, two hairs, left right, left down, whatever, and you compensate automatically based upon mental experience, physical experience and mental registry. And this is what I was talking about with the rangefinder. It's the same way. Play with it. Why? Well, look at it and start out by guesstimating and then, oh, wow, I guess I was off by that distance. Okay, now wait a minute. Let me scale that. You mentally begin to register your environment. You become cognizant of the mental registers that allow you to gauge. That we're all taught in the military, you know, fence posts, telephone poles, car heights, bank height. I mean, we look at the average height of a, you know, here's the problem. When you look at a tread head, remember the average Russian tread heads, 5'2 to 5'4. But every image they ever show you on a tank recognition silhouette is always a 6' man, isn't it? Have you ever thought about that? So remember that those little, the Russians call, well we do the same thing. We do it with helicopters and we do it with armor. But the average soldier on this side of the planet gets fed better, so 6' is a good average height. That's why we use that gauge. What would you know the height of a human being but on the on the other side if I was dealing with the mechanized units understand that they're gonna be about three four inches shorter on an average by nature That way they fit the vehicle guys. They picked the men that fit the vehicle as much as anything They don't all won't be a threadhead. Well, how tall are you? I'm six foot two Oh, well, you're not going to be threadhead, but we can make you a very big infantryman Congratulations. You're doing good job We'll make you regular infantry. You have long legs. You get there faster. You'll tragically run to your death faster as you charge the German machine guns while the Russians come to the rear. So, as it is, again, the idea is kind of... the technology is out there that can improve, but I still argue for develop the man first. It's kind of like learning the drafts, as draftsmen guys. Even if you understand computers, the idea is to know how to work with the basic tools first. Even though you're going to go to a lot of other technologies, they give you the basics first no matter what. In this case, the first rule for doing that, and again I would go to the point where iron sights are as critical as optics. Before we had all the optics, we had men up to 100 years ago. This is the year 2014. 100 years ago, every man that was out there that was engaging at 700 yards was engaging at 700 yards with iron sights. Now you think about that for a minute. Every man out there wasn't any standard optic issued to anyone. Yet 700 yards was a realistic range and in fact It was engaged with repetition ad nauseam over and over again. World War I. You see how that works? Think about it. And by the way, the weapons at both sides shouldered also had no problem delivering lots of energy at that range, didn't they? By the way, you're still buying some. Those nagot rifles started out being built back in 1891. Hell, they were already 20 years old when they came into World War I, kids. Think about that. The design was already 20 years old. Model 98 was already 15, 16. Think about it. So again, but it had the performance. Again, today the biggest problem is they've bought us into the chipmunk cartridges and then we're told that we don't have the ability to fill in the blank reach to these ranges. Well, we have to build our toolbox accordingly. When we do, we also need other technology. Look outside. See how dark it is? Well, we've got somebody here who has stuff that takes care of that problem. That's Mr. Betcher. So, Don? Will you have night vision technology? What are the changes? What's been going on in the last couple of days and the last week here with it? And how can we get hold of you, sir, please? Well, we've still got some of the four power generation gunsights. We've got even less, I'm surprised, of the six power. That's my green screen in first generation. That's my entry level green screen right now. Beyond that we can talk into second generation which is all green screen. Although they're offering what they call the white phosphor screen in second generation now and that's white light and they're trying to tell you, oh it's a crisper image and it's easier to understand and all of that. Stick with the green screen you guys if you can. If you don't buy from me, if you're buying from somebody at a gun store or gun show or something, try to get something with a green screen. unless you really want to exercise a lot of light discipline because little slivers of white light attract attention at night. Just the flash of a match even when it's cupped in the hand. If someone's looking in that general direction any kind of light is an attractor at night. The green screen light is so subtle it you'd almost have to be looking right at it for it to be something. It is not so bright as to Well appear like white light white light to another piece of night vision out there if you bring it up to your face cast it across your face for a moment Why that guy's face was on fire it'll it'll be very very bright in the green screen viewer We've addressed this numerous times since the beginning of the year when this came to our attention Again, I've got four power gunsight. It's 308 capable. We've talked about this a number of times. It'll live on top of your M1 It'll thumbscrew down to your, you know, with the thumb bolts on the side, they're not levers. I wish they were little levers instead of just, you know, hex heads. It'll thumbscrew down to your 7-8ths or your 1-inch to an acceptable, with your hands, every once in a while you reach up there and tighten it again. But if you tighten it down with your hand and you find that your disc is where I want it and you put another like a 30 second of a turn on it, the wrench, it's going to pretty much stay there. Again, a 7 8 or a 1 inch rail it'll grab onto. Which leads me to, speaking of rails, I gotta do this again, DR and Moline there. I need to talk to you, and I haven't done that in a little while, but if you're listening, give me a call. My phone number is 2317968458. But if you've got a rail on your gun, it's sometimes harder to mount a piece of night vision on a bolt gun because sometimes, or like an M1. because, well, you have everything going out of the top of the gun so that gets offset or it needs to be lifted and moved back so that the bolt gun will function. But there are plenty of options as far as getting it mounted on a gun. Now, I don't offer rails. I talked about rails with someone and they sent me money for them. So I need to fix that problem. Again, DR and Moline, give me a call. If you want to talk to me about that first generation gun sight or a second generation gun sight or viewer, a piece of thermal, we can go from an entry level piece of thermal all the way up to something that you can see a person a mile away with. The entry level thermal right now is $18.95 right near your mail box. That's right from the FLIR company. And I don't want to take up a whole lot of it. I won't, we'll just finish this. My phone number is 231-796-9. 845-8 again 231-796-58 goggles or gun sights, green screens are thermal. Thank you Mark. Very good. And again for everybody out there, a reminder, why are you dealing with a stranger when you can deal with a friend? We might have another caller. I'm not certain. Do we have a caller? Callers you have any questions? Yes sir. I was going to ask you about an M1A. When I start... trying to reach out a hundred yards. The rear side on my M1A, it's a TRW bit on the onshore receiver. It's the side on it, elevation bumps on it under recoil when it starts getting up that high. That's a soft primary spring on your, it's a retaining spring or your tappet spring for adjusting. It's probably soft or tired. It could be a spare part that they took off of a if it's an arms core You got to remember the Philippine and the Taiwanese military sold a lot of spare parts or they sold you know surplus they sold stuff It's more likely that the spring is is light. They'd be if it's jumping you know there was when you're firing it Are you saying when you fall let me qualify this when you pull the trigger? The the site will actually readjust or changes like Yes sir, it changes everything. or it could be an angle cut, could be a number of different things. So when you're adjusting up to that elevation, what happens is there's just enough to keep it in play when you're adjusting it, but if there's any kind of recoil, the spring is probably also softer. It's a light duty spring, and it has enough give that it actually will rotate back to an earlier station. It's not a problem that's hard to fix, it's just you're going to have to re-site your weapon when you're done. It should take any M1A type site and a solution is replace the entire site internals with National Match or replace the whole thing with an NM site system. A National Match site would be worth it. The M1A, if you put a better site on it, she tightens up. The National Match sites will be just a little cleaner, crisper, they're guaranteed and certified. You can also get brand new US military or you can get aftermarket, but top end from a couple of different M1A manufacturers. That's probably the case. If it's doing that consistently, I'd be willing to bet if you were to look at it, you were to disassemble your site bowl and take everything out. That cylinder, you'll see that there's probably an inconsistent line or cut because usually it's probably a cutoff machine, so going back and forth and indexing and it probably rotates the part indexes and cuts. Indexes and cuts. Something happened with the tooling or it may be a tired part. If it was a surplus part and it was re-parkerized, you just have to look at it to see where the where points are. Because the M14, if it was military-ish and it was Indonesian or if it was, for instance, Filipino, or if it was Filipino, it was probably made by us. It could be an old TRW, could be an old US-right. It's TRW, all the parts are stamped TRW. Okay, well, yeah, it's a good rifle. It's just that it may have been in service if Armscore built it. If it was an Armscore-built gun, it was made in the Philippines. If it's an Armscore receiver and it was a parts kits gun, the parts kits probably came from the Israelis. Sound good? Yes sir. I didn't really figure out a tail, you know, what was the weak point that was causing the problem. But when I get back home, I'll take a second look at it. Oh, take a look at your, okay, now take a look at the body of the receiver because, in fact, let me double check here. I'm trying to think who else has parts. I've got a card index, but it's not within reach. We've mentioned several companies. Some are a little pricey, but they're making all brand new American parts right now. There's a couple of young guys, young by our standards because they're like in their late 20s, and these guys have decided to make an American company that does what TRW used to do. All their parts are made to the original machining specs. All their parts are made to the original tempering specs. They make very high quality sight systems on top of everything else. It will go right on your rifle. But I just don't have it right here on my tip. That's fine. It gives me a point to start working from to figure out what's wrong. Go ahead. I'm sorry, go ahead. It kind of stuck me. I didn't know what I was going to do. I re-zeroed it. everything like you're supposed to and re-tighten. But I didn't know if maybe I didn't have it, you know, tightened just right or whether it was a... That'll help me figure out what's going on now. The other guy I was talking about, you know, range finding, one of the easiest and best things is if I put light poles or camera poles down the interstates, usually they're set, set distance apart, you know, it'll be consistent. And, you know, some, depends on what's taking where you're at, you know, some's like a course. half a mile, but it helps you be able to look at a distance and be able to roughly estimate using one, three formulas. I normally use take it and cut it the distance in half and then try to judge that half and things like that. That's the way I'm coming close, trying to use the other methods and I come up with that. That's a pretty standard though and I'm glad you brought that up because that's one of the ways to get there. You're right. Another point to be made. I'm glad you're stretching the legs on your gun. Yes sir, northeast Georgia. I'm up here in Virginia right now. A lot of places there. Yes sir, yes sir. There's going to be times it might not be on your home turf and if you can reach out there and put you on stiff ahead of who you might be going up against. still home at the end of the day there, right? Exactly. Yeah, I heard that before somewhere. Well, the one... Go ahead. I'm sorry, go ahead. I didn't catch up. The other driver... Well, you were saying, what about the camera poles? You want to help me one more time real quick? I'm the other driver you were talking about, I think. Oh, the distance between lights or camera poles. You know, just the regular things that are up. That's one way to get judgments on certain, like stretches of road or whatnot. We have in the Night Vision video a series. There's a scene where every telephone pole is 100 yards apart, and you can see like 9 or 12 of them in the dark. Oh, okay. Awesome. As an example. And we are at the top. Thank you, guys. Thank you. And as always, Don Yerber for Night Vision first, please. Hey, 231796. 8458. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Hurrah, give him a slap to beat him down hard. Don't let him get back up. We'll be back tomorrow, same time. Now, your number of a night vision enclose us, please. It is 231796. 8458. Goggles or gunsights. Screen screens are thermal. Thank you Mark. God bless you. God bless you America.
