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. Invist 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 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free and good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report time our kirnky and butter knife one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind lines in occupied territory west, southwest, east and northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, we are listening to us all Liberty Tree Radio at F4MG.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com running at the microstations, CB base stations, alternate call mark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Well, VK is a dark out here where we are. I'm sure you got the same. Are there any glowing fires over on the horizon perhaps? in glowing areas perhaps. I mean, well, it's a city glow anyway. I'm looking more for the fiery birdy kind of thing. Anything like that? Go ahead and give us a date too, please. It's a little bit of a distance for me to see any Ferguson ignition at this point. It is Friday evening. It is 21 November 2014. It's Friday evening is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. and that makes this quarter masters corner. It has been a nippy week, supposed to fall out tomorrow and over the weekend, which could in theory be bad news for Ferguson, but it's also supposed to be wet. So, we'll see what's what. because what are they going to do? Oh, in 48 hours we're going to say yes, there will be one, or 48 hours we're going to say no, there isn't going to be one, or 48 hours we'll tell the cops whether there's going to be one, or what the case may be. So that's just one of those null statements you get through the press. It kind of sounds like they're saying something, and then you think about it, and you scratch your head and say, what did they just say? They didn't give us any information. Well, there's nothing new about that. So this has also been an interesting week. They've given us all manner of comedy material. Gruber Gate continues. They go on and on about this Gruber character who helped them obfuscate bubble care to the point that nobody knew what was in it until after the fact. There's a certain amount of inane chatter along the lines that, gee, this guy did such a terrible thing, maybe we should make him give the consulting fees back as if he somehow did not do what he was paid to do, which is, of course, quite silly. He shouldn't give the consultant fees back because he did exactly what he was paid to do, helped them get it through. What is sad is that there are hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars of taxpayers money swashing about available to be paid to consultants in order to pull off this kind of stuff. That's the scandal. Not that this guy got a piece of it and actually delivered value for his payoffs. Once again, they are pointing us in the wrong direction. One of the things I learned by observation when I was in school, and some of the most interesting lessons you get are not in class, was watching decision making going on in student organizations. We of course had a heterogeneous population. We would have little would-be politicians and little would-be engineers and little would-be this and that all mixed together and trying to have their say in matters. One of the things I learned is that the engineers, whenever there was a question, were always willing to gather more data. because their decision making was based on data or at least it was intended to be to the best of their abilities. The politicians were never in favor of gathering data unless they had managed to rig in advance what the data would be and what conclusion it would lead to. So whether a politician was interested in gathering data depended on whether the data supported his position or not. They never had any interest in the actual truth of the data. It was all about getting their way. So that taught me something about the nature of professional politicians because Even the little politician, Larva, had learned that sort of operating procedure. It was just second nature to them. They weren't interested in new information until they had vetted the information and decided whether or not it supported their position. Then they were in favor of it if it supported their position and they were opposed to it and willing to suppress it if it did not. They always just saw that as perfectly natural. The concept of an honest politician is almost an oxymoron because just the way they think is what other people would consider manipulative, but they think it's normal. It's a we told you so for everybody on our end, but it's fascinating to watch the drama as they play it out and then try to redirect. If you look at how many different ways it's been re-engineered just in the last couple of months, but especially in the last couple of weeks, step by step by step by step. As far as I can see again, There is no set direction or path they are going to maintain and crisis will still prevail. No matter which direction we turn, crisis must prevail. Doom is on the horizon. Remember that. No matter how cheery, warm, fuzzy or soft things get or how much people fall back to sleep. As soon as you absorb the last BS argument and start to realize that it's humbug, a new one gets trotted out. There's always a new crisis. They've completely moved off of the bobo into the Gruber and they'll move off of the Gruber into something else. One thing you're not hearing right now is global warming. Right, except that at the G20, in fact, Henry just put a piece in there in the latest part of the scroll. Apparently, Australia is going to be going, you know, standing up for coal. They're not going to bring the global warming scam to the G20, you know, summit meeting. Well, Australia is a source of coal, so... Right, exactly. We can't do that. We make money on that. Good night, mate. Have another beer. Shut up. Well real quick on the Gruber thing, let's remind everybody of something here too. Guys you mean to tell me that after six going on seven years they just now found all these statements that Gruber made repeatedly? Which by the way there's also that very interesting little piece where back in 06 who was Gruber standing next to and working with? Oh wait a minute wait a minute, Rumdum Romney! So you're kind of a man of all party. Well, the fact that he had worked for Romney was the reason he was selected for doing the same thing to us on a national scale. It should not really be any surprise to people that a bunch of paid functionaries who can spend full time on it can spend 40 or more hours per week tangling and obfuscating language in a document to the point that somebody who has a half an hour of data think about things other than work cannot possibly unravel or decode it. Well, what is surprising about that? This is sort of like saying that, gee, a second-rate prize fighter versus your grandma is a predetermined conclusion. Well, of course. There is no comparison in white class there. The same thing in the political front, as long as you have paid full-time professional political operatives who get to tangle and obfuscate the documents, of course it's going to be opaque to normal people with a normal understanding of the English language and so on. What is surprising about any of that? And again, the compounding and construction involved, remember we didn't need to read it, we just needed to pass it and we'll find out what's in there later. Remember that famous statement, repeated at several different levels of this fiasco and prompted by the person who said, remember, oh, that's that guy we're talking about. You know, the voters are just ignorant and stupid. Hey, wait a minute. You mean because we let it slide and should have dragged him out and hung him? Is that what he's saying? that if we were smart we would have not put up with this because they were the ones voting on it in the Congress and making statements like they didn't read it. So obviously what he meant is that we should have been smart, dragged them out and hung them all. Right? Well, the guys that have entire staffs of people to read and summarize stuff for them say that they don't have enough time to wade through all of that drivel. And yet they peer down their nose at us because Joe Sixpack who's got to work for a living and has only a few minutes to devote to these topics can't wade through all of the 2,000 pages of crud. Come on. Be serious here. That's just kind of silly. Exactly. Real quick here, and just as a side bar, going across the water, and if you haven't seen it already, great Britain calling for knife control, guys. Yeah, remember, if we got all the guns, there just wouldn't be any cr... Oh, well then why are they going after the night? Oh, that's right. Knives are quieter. So it's a quiet violence. Why would you be worried about that? It's quiet violence. Screaming a little bit. So just a real heads up there on that one real quick. What happens in a lot of these jurisdictions if they ban the firearms and so on, the firearms murders do drop. Everybody shifts over to knives and blood instruments and poisons and automobiles and strangulations and all the thousand and one other ways of killing each other and generally it goes up because the physically weaker people now no longer have an equalizer. A counterbalance. Right, so then they say, some of these people like to say, youth violence, youth violence, well that's a euphemism for gang violence. Well here's the thing, as was put down in the article that Henry posted here real quick, the new motto is, Save a Life, Send a Unite! Well why I've got a gun. Oh, did I say that? Oops. Program, it's in full swing and police are telling us that they have joined forces with an already growing trend in the United Kingdom to ban quote unquote, pointy knives. Now, let's remember that back in Australia, we've got our friends listening in the chat room there, we might recall guys in Australia, they banned the guns so everybody started making swords for home defense, which then of course were evil and bad and wicked and they want to ban the idea that you should be allowed to have those. So, we're seeing the same. Every place where these panty waste leftists are in power, take a look at what Now the people who are the criminals are still going to have those pointy knifey thingies. Does everybody understand that? In fact, if they're smart, here's a wicked thing that they used to do in the middle ages, but before and after, it's been done before. Have you ever heard of knocking a knife? Now this is an old trick, but it was actually used for people who really were hateful. If you had a good assassin, you rusted the knife, but first before you did that, you had a blacksmith tap the knife or you would score it. Now it was knocked on the top and you know like the narrow end of the blade at the top and the bottom. The idea behind this is that once you stick that knife in you pull up or down along the flat surface side or push down hard and you hear a snick and then you pull your blade back out. But not all of your blade comes out! Yeah, leave some of it behind. Yes, and it was always, again, intentionally sharpened in all surfaces, so no matter how you moved, it cut. It's interesting that with this rule, I can see this coming knocking. People are going to figure it out. They're already doing a bunch of other things like this to try and damage collector swords. Remember we talked about how they're intentionally making them take all these multi fortune swords that are out there and you have to take the hilts off and they've been cutting the shank of the grip so that the blade is broken. They were doing that you know eight ten years ago. Well of course now this is for anybody evil enough to carry a knife But you see if you're smart you knock the knife and then if you look like you're gonna have somebody bothering you do a little bit of a run put your foot down on that on that knocked blade pull up and Make the little piece disappear. There's all kinds of fun things you can do on this flat blade I don't have a pointy blade knife. I have a flat blade knife Gee, Mr. Smith, you don't have a fireplace. How come there are all these fireplaces sitting around all over your house? Remember, he did it with the poker in the den. Remember Clue? We could never figure out how to make a mallet with a stone on the end of it and cave people's heads in. We have a large occurrence now. People having their heads caved in like melons. I don't know what's going on here. Don't worry, it's round and blunt. Does that satisfy you now? Round and blunt. Oh man, that had to hurt. No, he didn't feel a thing from behind. And that's where, you know, it's already happening anyway. The sharp point, this is the usual with the leftists, they have to disarm the population to the point where, you know, everybody is, you know, they're all sheep to be eaten. And of course the characters that are pushing it, they know what's going on. So this is just to create more and more of the terrified, petrified, lamenting, sitting in the corner, drinking a broccoli shake and singing, I wish I were an Oscar minor, weiner peasants that are, you know, stop knives, save lives. What do you mean by stop lives? They stop knives. I thought we got the guns that would deal with this. Wait a minute, what life is my knife supposed to be threatening? Well, it gets to the point where it's like, first of all you have to double, triple, quadruple lock the door and then you have to keep a pot of boiling water handy all the time. Because the first thing coming through the door, that's what they get a face full of. Now, probably just pee them off, but make sure you've got a good pan there with some say stand-off spikes welded to the base so it's actually designed so the pot will not score or scorch. But they're sharpened. And that way after you hit them with the water, you bring the pan back down on their head and there you go. Well, it's a camp stove, a camp stove pot, guys, like you have for the Dutch ovens. The fire extinguisher size bear sprays have the secondary effect of being a great blunt instrument and you can't claim as premeditated. It's just an impulse thing. It was in the panic of the moment and so on. Did you hear that aluminum tank ringing when you hit? Is that what you're saying? flopping around on the ground screaming then there's a thump thump thump thump thump. Yeah you hear the ping ping. Well it actually makes a ringing sound. You know there's like a baseball bat when you hit somebody's shins you know ping. Wow you know that was a perfect hit. Oh that can barely does ring doesn't it? It really well made aluminum, spun aluminum sir it works really well. So anyway sharp money objects we told everybody and by the way where is this from? I will remind you, 1993 Handgun Control Incorporated, the objective was to disarm the population and even take your sharp pointy objects away. And there they are. We told you so. We told you so. You thought we were getting when we started talking about knife control, huh? No, no. Scotland, of course, remember, what was it, eight years? No. Yeah, eight years. No, it's going on nine. They were pushing for serial numbering the knives. You have to register your serial number and register your kitchen cutlery. That's why Chinese cooks have used these weirdly shaped knives for so many centuries. Not only the rectangular cleaver but the semicircular moon knives and all this kind of stuff. It's because the Mongols had knife control. Mongols are so paranoid about all of the people that they dominated that they were terrified of people having triangular style knives. And coming back and visiting with sharp pointing onions. Yeah, so you know people think that the amateur chefs think oh I'm doing a wonderful thing because I got a terrible terribly exotic and super sophisticated Chinese style knife No, that's a stupid shape because it was a stupid shape. It's not a super wonderful knife in the kitchen. It's just what? Pessence allowed. Yeah Yeah, it's what a peasant under the thumb of the Mongols was allowed to have and they found out ways to actually make them cut vegetables, but it took them that many more months of training just to suffer along with the half-baked cooking implements. You have to be kidding. This is not work. Yes, it works. Trust me. We have to make it work. Otherwise, they'd kill us. You can find a way. Go ahead, Mickey. I don't understand what's going on there. Favoring net neutrality is the correct position. All reasonable people should do so. The only ones that advocate allowing the backbone ISPs to do nasty things to the data transmission flows are the corporate suck-ups and would be surveillance mavens. So all of the advocates of network freedoms and innovation and so on are in favor of net neutrality. The basic idea of net neutrality is that a bit is a bit, a packet is a packet, and you let people decide what they're going to do with them. You don't say this packet is more equal than that packet. Bubba made a little announcement that he was in favor of net neutrality, and I don't get it. He said the right thing. This is the second time I can think of where Bobo actually said a reasonable thing. There must be some clever and nefarious purpose, but perhaps the clever and nefarious purpose is simply to confuse old BK because I don't know what he's up to. I just assume he's up to something. Well, maybe so, but he still confused me. I don't quite understand it. He could have just stayed out of that one and allowed the Verizon's and so on to go ahead and corrupt the Internet as they have been doing. That is kind of strange. Also, watching the television, I don't give very many channels anymore because I'm not willing to pay the higher tiers At the moment I'm watching Dish, so all of the Turner channels are off the network at the moment, so I don't even see CNN. Now this is an interesting one. Turner is fighting with Dish and arguing over money and saying, well, we think that Dish should pay us more money for carrying our channels. I find that kind of interesting if the CNN and other such channels, which do show commercials. They are ad-supported channels. If they were actually financially healthy, they would not be desperate for fees just to be carried somewhere. They would just want everybody on the planet to carry their stuff because after all, lots of eyeballs equals lots of revenue for them. They must not be as financially healthy as they might want people to believe. So desperate for transmission fees from Dish, for instance, that they're actually willing to take themselves off the air for weeks on end in an arm wrestling match. That is an interesting sign of ill health in that corner of the corporate press. Also, I'm seeing other comic stuff. We're getting closer to the Christmas season, so good old Rabbi Ekyl Epstein is back on the television begging for $25 donations for boxes of so-called food for all of these starving Israelis. They're showing the same pieces of file footage again that they've shown year after year after year, showing all sorts of elderly cazars grabbing at boxes that are obviously empty or at the very least full of foam rubber because they're so light. I get the box. The box is worth money. I get a box. I keep making it. I've got to fight over it anyway because it's a thing. So I've got to grab at the thing. Grab, grab, gimme, gimme. And it's obviously got nothing in it. The way they're tossing these boxes around. So for $25 we buy a cardboard box full of air and give it to an old COSR somewhere. But they don't even shoot new footage. They have the same extras and the same footage from last year and the year before and the year before that. And they're talking about the current situation and so forth. Well, it's always the same current situation year after year. So that's actually kind of humorous. But they're starving. They're starving. I'm telling you. Well, it could be monsters. Give me boxes of matzas, $25 worth of matzas? Come on, it's a shipping, that's what the cost is. If there was a whole bunch of matzas in that box, it would still weigh more than that. Very dry, dusty matzas that we paid for back in 1969. You got to remember that, you see. Slightly stale, oh, more than stale, sir, but have you ever tried a matzas in that, really, shall we say, perky end to begin with? So steel isn't really noticed, it's okay. It's a standard 1.5 cubic foot box with great matzas in it. Okay, one mop and lots of peanuts, several of them peanuts like you said. But they at least get a ration, one ration eats because we're so desperate and they're starving, don't you know? Especially when you see them in the bikinis with that little like 20 pounds of pudge over there in Haifa sucking on the pina coladas. The ones that I'm seeing in these ads I don't want to see in bikinis. Here you go, Grandma. Go away. Listen, I've got my bikini on. Take a picture. I am telling you. Here's the one that's really kind of sinister. This one is coming through the more serious channels. There's a certain amount of mumbling and rumbling and trial balloons being floated. What they're saying is that if the US wants to experience the benefit of lower oil prices, it should export its oil. Why don't we keep the oil we make? Do we sell our really good high-crime? I mean, how would this work? Why would you ship oil out of the country and have oil shipped in to the country and supposedly you'd be, wait a minute, that doesn't work! Right, well what's more, net oil imports have been dropping for several years. They've basically been on a downward slide since about 2005. for a number of reasons. More efficient automobiles is part of it, the general collapse of our economy is part of it, and the increase of supply from natural gas for other purposes. And when you have a lot of natural gas production, there are condensates that come off as a side effect of the natural gas refining, and some of that can go into the same hydrocarbon feed channels has consumed oil. A lot of these things are interchangeable at the industrial level because of the sophistication of the cracking and polymerization plants available now. So our net oil imports have been dropping. They are now back down to early 70s levels at something on the order of 5 million barrels per day. That's still a tremendous net import, and yet they're talking about, oh, we should export oil. Now, the argument is that, oh, back in the oil crisis days of the early 70s, the Congress passed a law against exporting oil. And that is an old and outdated law that's causing us problems, and we would benefit terribly if we got rid of that law. It, of course, is kind of absurd when we are net importers, but there you go. The argument is that the cognosetty understands more about the mechanisms than you do. What happens is that U.S. oil prices, gasoline fuel prices and so on, are set based on world price levels and therefore if we support oil into the world market, we will depress the price of the world price and that will drop the domestic prices in the US. Now that is really kind of stuff your elbow in your ear reasoning. You have to be quite a contortionist to follow that. But the other aspect of it that they're not talking about is that if that's the case, All it really means is that they've been screwing us for decades because why should US domestic oil prices be set in Europe or London or someplace? Where's the difference? Where's all the money going? Why should that be the case in the first place? One of the things that I found kind of interesting, I saw an interview recently with an oil executive. Just as Lindsay Williams has said in many interviews, these guys often get a little casual and tell you a bit of truth. They're not necessarily political operatives. They think that what they do is natural and reasonable and sometimes like any normal human, they will speak of the things that they do. In this interview that I saw, The fellow was asked about US domestic oil production and he was asked what are your margins on this stuff. And he said, oh, at current prices, which is about $70 oil, we're operating at about 73% margin. No, wait, 78% margin, which means that every dollar that is spent on oil at $70 price range 78 cents of it is marked up over costs and expenses and so on. How does an enormous margin on any business, 78% and that's at the depressed levels of $70 per barrel relative to what they were doing just a year or three ago. So consider that number. and realize, man, these guys could be making money at a buck and a quarter a gallon of gasoline if they felt like it. Well, it's like what they did back in the 70s. That's the whole point. Even now, the biggest problem they've got is there's been a discussion about this. Unlike the 70s where you had the post-Vietnam and post-World War II industrial complex, the problem with what's most recently happened in the post-NAFTA gap environment is, well, beware, you kind of get what you ask for. It's like trying to hide government secret police or government clandestine facilities. You have to have other things going on to hide them. But when you have no other business and you have, well, you see, most of these oil complexes that were available for bulk storage, guess what, guys? They were metal. And guess what happened in, like, Detroit and a lot of places? The metal moths came in. Now they didn't take the big tanks down right away. They just damaged them a lot. But what they did do, well, remember those horror stories where they went into the public schools and cut the live water pipes, even though the hot water pipes for the heating system? Well, they did the same thing in all the storage sites that were empty, only on a massive scale. What the system doesn't have is as many places as they were originally probably seeing in the big picture for places in hidey holes to stuff the material. It doesn't mean they don't have place on the ground. It doesn't mean they don't have other places that weren't meant to be used for oil. Remember they did that back in the 70s also. There's a whole lot of locations that they cross-contaminated because of the need to squeeze it in and hide it. They also used a lot of obsolete equipment that broke and created a lot of oil spills too. Which came into the story progressively over the couple of years after the first part of the crisis developed which was a complete fiction. And it's kind of like the same thing we're going to be seeing now. Well, this time around there isn't any need to create a shortage because the program they're doing is to push down the world price anyway because they are willing to use their budgets off the oil until they watch it and see it. Right, floating around. What they've been doing with the old tankers, the same way that's what I was saying, the infrastructure though can only last so long and it's being eaten up. And there's no replacement infrastructure short of the parked fleet or like you said, the bulkers that are already papered, registered and flagged and still floating around up and down the Mississippi and the Ohio. and the snake and a few others but they've got places but it's harder to get away with it now because they frag the industrial component that would give them the ability to do that. Like you said, they're trying to drive. They're not driving. Well, that damages their ability to pull the same scam that they did in the early 70s, but that's not the scam they're pulling right now. They've gotten to the point where they're just overtly using the computers in London and New York to set the prices arbitrarily because they have done so many mergers and acquisitions. There are not 50 oil companies in America anymore. But the program right now is to push the prices down because they're willing to contort the entire planetary economy in that fashion simply to advance the agenda of this financial warfare against Russia. That's part of the larger program of trying to make Russia into a resource node for the new Chinese Empire. So, all of this stuff does fit together. It is, however, springing leaks here and there, and it's becoming more visible as they do each of these manipulations along the way. uh... and have we exhausted that topic at your end yet i'm sorry please go ahead okay and i a it will work with a real quick here on the thing with the oil reminded buddy about something we're talking about earlier we want to keep reinforcing i did this today and everybody you know the once by one shot shop just went quiet because it would work pushing the russians right there was a lot of the prices are pushing russians so if we can afford to do this Before they were punishing the Russians when they had the prices higher, who were they waging war and punishing then? Yeah, if everybody's done. Well, that must have been us. They're down from something higher. If we could just push it down at will because we wanted to, then why were they so high to begin with? Right. Well, then who were they waging war against? Because they're telling you they used the oil prices to wage war, don't they? Well, that means they were waging war against the American middle class and you and me. And they hate us. They just for the moment decided they wanted to twist somebody else's arm. So all of a sudden, as chumps were allowed to have some cheaper gas for a little bit. And it was like, oh well, nobody had an answer for that one. So use it whatever you can and have some fun just to drop it into the pool and walk away. Who cares what they say afterwards. But it would be funny to hear the stupid math that goes on after you do that. Again, use the public announcements the government and the shysters in New York have used. Where is all that money going? The shareholders of Standard Oil are not seeing it. It's vanishing somewhere. Again, let's not forget that that money has been passing hands mostly inside the U.S. Our national debt should be down by quite a bit. Oh yeah, and we should have a very good economy with all of that money slouching around. Everybody should be busily at work. So I guess we're getting screwed and screwed and screwed then, aren't we guys? Yeah. Well, there's banks that Russia uses to finance energy projects within the country of Russia, and those banks who have loans to operate in the US said, we're not giving you any more loans. That's the sanction part of how they're supposedly hurting Russia. Like you say, Mark, it's a bunch of BS. Right. The thing is, if all else fails, Russia can do exactly what they're doing here right now with the Federal Reserve, but they could do it internally with using... Because they've already had, just like we do to a degree, but not as much. We've got the FRN spread all over the place. Remember, for the longest time, they had both the import and they had the internal and external currency. They were trying to push that in the US here back when the Clintonistas came into power about 1994 where they started talking about not allowing you to have your currency outside the US or to use it and to have an internal and external currency which then they were going to tie into the cashless society thing. Yeah, just like the internal and external rand in South Africa we saw how well that worked. The thing about it is that Russia, because of the schism of communism being there for how many decades, they actually had that. The internal ruble and the external currency exchange were two different worlds. They can relate to that. That makes it a lot easier to re-initiate it too, which is something that they haven't talked about. Anyway, go ahead, next subject, please jump in there. Okay, some miscellaneous stuff. Over on scipus.com, that is scipus.com. Once in a while we call out interesting little things at this outfit. This is an oddball outfit. It's sort of like Spencer gifts on the web. They have an awful lot of junk and toys and miscellaneous stuff. Every once in a while they have something interesting. They have a couple of things that are interesting. One of them is that they're offering a 3 watt Cree LED flashlight at $7 a piece. Now I have a different style of 3 watt LED flashlight. Mine uses a pair of D cells and I couldn't get more of these at this price. It was one of those surplus buys a couple of years back. But I am deliriously happy with and impressed with 3 watt LED flashlights. These guys are offering a flashlight at $7. It's a 3 AA battery flashlight. So it uses common batteries. It's one of these short fat stubby guys. They claim that it runs five hours on three AA batteries. I'm not sure whether that's true or not. It's possible. The LEDs are often very, very efficient. But a 3 watt flashlight, if this thing is the slightest bit similar in performance to the ones that I have that are also 3 watters, that is a very, very cool thing to have. I resist Again, the LED lights or any of the high intensity lights are worth having around. They have a longer life than the original first generation that came in, but even those last long enough for critical work, especially at night. One of the things to consider putting those in your surgical kits, high-illume lights, high-intensity lights, guys, are priceless. That was the first place we prioritized putting these types of fixtures, is in with the medical kits. So having one in the kit, Hey, maybe a hands got to do it instead of a stand but somebody standing there well somebody can see what they're doing suturing something back up is Kinda nice you really don't want your field jackets sewn into your wound do you? Even if it's just an edge or something I think that would be a little awkward I Did do it right, but I didn't notice that little flap of cloth there where that come from oh man Don't take the field jacket off too fast. Wait, wait, wait. We've got to do this over again. And all the anesthetic is worn off now. Oh, man. There's another item at Sci Plus, which is more of a maybe more of an oddball, maybe one of those you're going to slap BK around and say, what were you possibly thinking? They are offering a couple of different flavors of civilian shoulder bags. These are grandma bags and usual civilian carry around utility type items. However, they have two colors, one of them is teal and one of them is purple. Apparently the purple is not as popular as the teal because the purple one marked down from their $3.50 down to $2.00. Now these are fair sized bags, these are bigger than you would normally want to use for magazine bags or gas mask bags or whatnot. So if you wanted to use them for miscellaneous utility purposes, you might end up running a sewing machine across them and making them smaller or what have you. They are a little larger than is normally the case. Usually we don't complain about things being too large, we complain about them being too small. However, They list these things at 16 x 12 x 5 with a zipper closure, a 10 inch deep exterior pocket, 9 inch long straps, removable adjustable shoulder strap with swivels. At two bucks a piece for these things, unless they are made out of tissue paper thin nylon, this strikes me as an awfully useful utility item. I'm not sure exactly what anybody would want to use them for. Like I say, all of the conventional military, paramilitary type things generally want something a little smaller. A gas mask bag is smaller than that, an ammo bag is smaller than that. Normally you are handling fairly dense things and certainly you would not want to fill this with dense things, you wouldn't be able to lift it. But perhaps lower density materials, fabrics, medical supplies, I don't know what. But something of that size with a zipper, carrying straps, all of that kind of stuff, all of that handwork in there, assembling it. for a whopping $2 a piece kind of impresses me. That's got to be useful for something. What do you think? Cargo, such utility for the winter emergency kits in the cars because you can throw some additional clothing items in there or you'll again socks, scarves, hats, clothing, food, emergency blankets, slash the mylar type, whatever you want to put in there. It's a good color because it's easy to spot. Also, the price is right for the size of the bag and you're not going to worry about it. You put it in the bag in the trunk, you forget about it. It's there but it's not there. You're not going to pull it out and grab it and carry it away. But you know, hey, purple one. See, that's kind of nice. Color coding is cool. So in this case, grab the purple bag in the trunk. That's the first day of the day. If you wanted to be more tactical, take some spray paint to it. Well, again, purple. I like to teal. The tail is going to cost you $3.50, so I'd go for the $2.00. On color, again, remember guys, for color coding, the other thing is medical bags. For emergency evac or ambulance kits, you'll notice what came out here a little bit ago, and they're out there in force, British They are basically EMT bags, but there are four different ones. They came in a set. Originally they came in off the West Coast. They are kind of spread all over the country because they didn't move right away with the original wholesaler. They were the only ones that had these things. They are a nice bag set. Now, they're not a tactical set because they're in kind of like an aqua color with the Air Force bead reflective tape and that stuff lights up like it's like there's an energy source in it when it gets hit by white light. But as emergency utility EMT bags go, these things are phenomenal and they are cheap. Again, color. The idea is that all these bags are the same color. They're in this kind of aqua with reflective tape, but there's a tactical support bag. There's two big bags with all the multi-pouches in them for all your individual items. And then there's a backpack bag combination too. And they were all set. Purple like this is handy in that respect in that it's like that bag will not be confused with other material and equipment. In many cases for your support people it's not a bad thing or like we're talking about radio gear, radio rigs. If we do this, like right now I'm looking around for extension cables. We used to be able to buy purple, blue, green, yellow, red and burgundy extension cords. Now in the hardware in town I actually used to have them all the way up to 100 feet in length. It's harder than hell to find now. But when you're doing equipment, guys, I know everybody goes, well, a cord is a cord. Yes, that's true. But to have a purple cord going to one project and a green one going to the other, when you tell somebody, pull the purple one, they're not going to be confused. And nowadays, pretty much power extension cables for any color you want as long as it's orange. Yeah, exactly. They've gone back to, and that shows we've got the reflection on the economy thing here again, because we used to be an industrial community, and that's why the hardware carried those colors, because the hardware provided stuff, retail to all these different manufacturers. and they're all gone. And so progressively all this stuff is disappearing from the inventory. We used to have a phenomenal industrial modeling section at the hardware where every little piece of brass, modeling construction technology, all the raw stock was there in three and four foot sections, PVC tubes, fake I-beams, the whole nine yards, it's all gone now because the industries are all gone. This is becoming a foo-foo Disneyland community. and it's reflected in what you can find. But again, color coding, even with the bags, guys, the antenna bag is the purple one. And seriously, that's what I do. If I can set things up that way, I don't try to put everything, well, I need to go in really cool black or really cool good enough. What you do is you color code it so it's quicker to respond. It's easier for you to give an order for somebody to find it. medical support, they're doing that so that there's no confusion. All the gear is the same. Everybody knows when they see a bag what it does. And if you got a boatload of all purple bags because they're at an excellent price and some lunatic named Butterknife pointed you at them, well maybe you put a color-coded stripe on it with some spray paint or something. Or a number on the side. Or a stencil and a number on the side. They're cheap enough. Real quick on color, I just want to bring you, this is something when you were talking about this. We've got one more item. Yeah, go ahead. EDN and Investments has got a bunch of stuff on sale. If you guys have galils, or if you have Glocks or if you have these little GSG MP5-22s, take a look at their sales. It's email specials and catalog guys. They've got a bunch of stuff here. Give me a minute. Give me a minute. Give me another minute or two. Okay, one more thing here. I've never seen it before. Kel-Tec is offering Patriot Brown. in the color for their guns. I don't know what Patriot Brown is but now I do know because Caltech is offering Patriot Brown. I've seen Patriot Red, White, Blue. I've seen all kinds of other Patriot colors but I've never seen Patriot Brown. Well that's half camouflage. You only have to get some green paint. Okay, Freund container, F-R-E-U-N-D container dot com. These guys have a bazillion different kinds of containers. I don't order from them very often because they're normally very expensive. I do consider it container porn. BK is a container pervert. They have some clearance items though. Here's one that really grabbed me. I don't know if everybody's going to be interested in it, but I really like this one. They have some 50 ounce clear glass jars. These are the style of jar that has a wire bail to close it. 50 oz is about 3 quarts and that's useful if you're running a kitchen or an apothecary or handling material of any sort. These are these self-sealing jars with the wire bail. 50 oz jars are discounted down to about $25 per dozen. quantity is a dozen and you can only buy them in case units. 25 bucks per dozen. Be aware of the shipping cost. To my location, one or two cases was $25 for shipping, three or four cases was $50 for shipping. So there was sort of a jump there. Tink with the cart and see what the contours are on the shipping cost in your area. But at $25 for a case of a dozen of these things, That's about three dollars or so delivered if you buy two cases, you know two at 25 each plus 25 for shipping That is in my opinion a heck of a bargain and a really interesting asset that doesn't come up very often these 50 ounce clear glass bale style jars with a gasket and everything Excellent and again location for everybody out there Freund container F R E U N D container dot-com Excellent and again Freund container dot-com. We are at the top of the hour Everybody out there quartermaster Friday is ending for us, but it's not for you. We've got gun shows this weekend we have Again a reminder of ham fest all over the place guys Deer season is in major swing here in Michigan, so bambai is being harvested. I will remind you again that if you can put it away, can it, dry it, whatever you're going to do, but don't let any of it go to waste. We're going to be needing every calorie you can put on the shelf. Also, we're at the end of bulk vegetables because of the harvest. Up on this end, most of the stuff is in. Obviously, we've got snow on the ground. Cabbage, I can't emphasize enough. Cabbage is one of those items, especially going to sauerkraut for jarring. Right now it's at the cheapest it's going to be. They've got all the harvest in. We've got a phenomenal backlog on cabbage. In some places you can find it as low as $0.10 a pound. Now, with that being the case, that makes it an awfully cheap food to create a change up on the shelf. The other thing, pumpkin. Though we're laying the pumpkin here, you guys farther south still have pumpkin in the field. I would recommend grabbing what you can, pumpkin seeds, grab a whole bunch, dry them for seed for next year. But pumpkin, you scrape that out, you can jar it, you can can it, but you can also blanch it and then strip it into quarter inch sections and create pumpkin jerky if you use your food dryers, you know, your standard food dryers guys. all kinds of solutions there. I have to be desperate to eat the sauerkraut, but you can feed me coleslaw all day. Well, I'm going to be doing coleslaw the moment we're done here. As a matter of fact, I was halfway through chopping the cabbage I have on the table. We'll be back on Monday, but meanwhile, like I said, Quartermaster Friday continues through the weekend. And for our guys, the Oghammer Ranges keep up the good work. Ranges open up at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and will be open until 7 tomorrow night with night fire out to 1,600 yards. You guys, be careful on the range. God bless the republic. Death to the new world's artists. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on a march both day and night with our mail closure jars. Actually, I'm going to check on those as soon as we're off the air. Thank you, BK. You're welcome.
