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 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both 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, get 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the... ...Eaping Intelligence Report. I'm a crunky. I don't know if we have a butter knife there. I hear a noise in the background, but I can't be sure. Okay. He should be there. Just give him a second. Maybe he's stepped away or he has to unmute himself. But I'm here and I'm just going to let you know, dad, everything is ready for the drawing at the bottom of the alley. Does that work? There we go. There we go. We got to be paid off. And butter knife. And 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. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet, Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska, BK, It got a little warmer just after sunset, which I don't know. It seems like it's warmer, trust me. It was a little bit more bitter towards the middle afternoon. Had to have more of a, you know, make sure you kept the coat buttoned up while you're cutting wood outside. Wasn't it like in your neck of the woods? What is the day today and what's jumping off the wall here, sir? It is 12 December 2014. It is Friday evening. It's the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. And it was actually fairly pleasant today. We got up to about 50 and it's supposed to be nice and warm for the next couple of days, which means that I'll be out there operating the lawnmower and doing other fun stuff, things I would like to not have to be doing. If I'm getting away with doing some of this stuff this late in December, I guess I can't complain too much. I should have done it a month ago. It is a boring and interesting week on the national front. A lot of the same old, same old, but the same old, same old is interesting stuff. I drive up and down a road and I see gas stations at $2.28 when I am farther into town, I've actually seen some at $1.99. Those are actually areas that are closer to, say, Ferguson and that area, and therefore I think are suffering limited traffic and engaged in a little bit of guesswork just to get a little bit of business. It's interesting, I talk to a lot of people in my business and I get a certain amount of chit-chat. One of the bits of chit chat I got, this is a couple of months ago, this isn't recent, but I haven't mentioned it here, was that according to this customer who knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows somebody, according to the calculations of the central office, the Starbucks chain in this region, estimated that they had at that time, and this is a couple of months back, already lost something on the order of a million dollars of potential business simply because of the nervousness people had about the whole Ferguson thing. This is long before the indictment news and so on. To the fact that people have sort of decided that, well, maybe they don't want to swing three blocks that way during lunch and pick up a Starbucks or stop by after work. Maybe they just want to jump in the car and scoot on home and be box people rather than spend more time in the urban areas. So even a fairly gentle little thing like that can have a big impact on people's discretionary expenditures. I think the same thing is reflected in the gas prices regionally. and that we see, you know, 30 cents swing from one section of town to the next, but across the board they are low. And we realize that this is part of the financial warfare against Russia. It's kind of interesting that so many other national entities are going along with the game. For instance, the whole XL pipeline is all about pumping Canadian shale oil down through New Orleans and off to its destination in China. The establishment is pushing hard the XL pipeline, which of course will cost Americans billions and billions of dollars just to make that transport of that oil a little bit cheaper for the Canadians. At the same time, the Canadians aren't saying a peep about this whole run down the oil price game, which has run down the oil price below their break-even cost for The shale oil, because the shale oil costs require something like $75 to $80 oil prices just to be economically viable and having pushed it down to $70 and below already. The Canadians are in the red, yet they're going along with the scam because Washington and the vampires in Europe wish it so. So, it's interesting to see this happen and to wonder how much of Canada's, you know, carotid is, you know, going to fall victim, voluntarily, to this program. You know, to what extent are the Canadians going to allow their throats to be cut in order to accommodate the vampires? So we get to watch this stuff in real time and try to infer the behind-the-scenes activity. We only hear specifics. after the fact, years after the fact sometimes. But it is interesting to watch it in real time. Do you have thoughts and comments on that? Did you wander away from the microphone? Okay! Sounds like we lost Mark. He got bored or decided to do something to a kitty or something. I don't know where dad is, but I'm here. And when dad gets back, hmm, I've got something. I'll send a link to him, but Something he will find interesting. I'm looking at Monahan's Domino's pizza car. The one that he sold is fully restored and up and running. So that's just a little bit of news for Captain Monahan. If you're listening, Beth got the car working and is cruising around in it. Okay, I don't understand the significance. Is this like the first car ever used to deliver Domino's or something? There were only two of these electric cars ever produced for Domino's Pizza with the paint markings on it. And it has an invention of Captain Monahan's bumper recharger system on the front bumper and on the back bumper. You just drive it right into the station and it charges. I was thinking maybe you just bumped it into things in the kinetic energy No, no, this is a little cheese wedge electric car He also has a outlet that you can plug into the side on it It is not that the cars themselves were produced for a little bit They look like a little wedge of cheese but only two of them were made for Domino's Pizza and both of them had Jim's invention on the front bumper Okay, docking bay. Yeah, did you hear me dad? Yeah, I could hear you. It's up the the person who bought the one has it fully functional Yeah, both of them have the printing is both of them of course are the Domino's pizza delivery car motif for the year I will send you I'll send you the link dad in the chat room so you can take a look at it the picture they got her cruising around in it on a golf course and on a golf course mini cart I guess it's a mini golf course and go cart track that she's test driving it on what's interesting is again the idea of the these cars were built back in the what late 70s early 80s back during the last you know oil issue problem yeah I was gonna say in that era that's probably lead acid batteries Yes, at the time they were using, well they had another set of research batteries, he had those off to the side, but he adapted a set of conventional batteries for obvious reasons, replacement being the cost issue back then and still today. I mean, they created all these Volt cars and whatever. Remember, we brought this up. We're dealing with the guys. We know the guys that do the maintenance on the first batch of these that came through. They were done for Ford, remember? I think the Taurus's were one of them. There's another name for one of the other cars. The whole base of the car is battery packs. They're all the new nickel hydride. There was another one that they came up with after that. If four cells go bad, it is a warranty policy that they have to replace the whole battery rack. Which makes up the whole bed of the car so you have to take all the whole battery Yeah, but it doesn't mean that they're gonna throw out all those batteries with it. I don't know that's just through them all My attitude was I didn't find out about this until later was you know what do they do with the old ones? I certainly would like to have those No, they'll they'll they'll sift through them The current electric car technology is lithium batteries. But they are not big lithium batteries. They are little lithium batteries like 18650s or something similar to that. The game is that every single battery gets a microprocessor stuck on the end. with a power control circuitry that can bypass the battery and control the charge and discharge through pulse width modulation. So they've got a thousand batteries in the car, whatever the case may be. They've got a thousand microprocessors. Each battery has its own little microprocessor stuck onto it. The Teslas do that and all of those are doing that. It also probably has secondary self-test effects. You can probably just pull those packs and plug into a diagnostic port and get a grid of LEDs lighting up saying, you know, pull these batteries. So I'm sure that, you know, I haven't read that, but I'm sure that that's the case. Well, the interesting thing is that that was one of the issues that started to bring down the, because of the number that they were having to replace. Obviously, they thought they would last longer. So just first hand, we know that with the first 150 prototypes, from where the University of Michigan bought a big lump of those. And they were running them extensively. And the Ford dealership here was the warranty company for the, you know, warranty maintenance company. So they actually did the physical maintenance and everything too for all of the fleet, which is kind of interesting. It's not that the electric car doesn't work. Remember we had the, let's go back a little bit, we've got the series of electric cars that GM was quote unquote forced to make because of guidelines. Yeah, the AV-1s that they destroyed later. They finally actually admitted that maybe that was a mistake. They realized that was a mistake only from a PR point of view because somebody made a movie who killed the electric car about how they rounded them all up at the end of the lease period and physically crushed the cars. Jerks. We can't have anybody looking at these to see how they were built. or perhaps resurrecting them which would be a big embarrassment if somebody is driving one ten years later or fifteen years later. Yeah, I don't think it was a matter of trade secrets or anything along those lines but it was an example thing. They didn't want them running around. It was only rich people that had them because they were available only by lease but even then the lease was movie star prices. But the people that had them liked them. Of course, they didn't have any dependency issues. I'm sure that all of them had other automobiles they could use if they wanted to and so on. There are some advantages to electric cars in that all the other maintenance is much, much reduced. Once you get past the batteries and the power control modules, the things are just clean as a whistle underneath. You don't have all the hot oil spraying around. all the vibrations and all this kind of good stuff. So, you know, they're like golf carts, you know, other than the electrics. So, you know, the maintenance regimens on those is vastly simplified beyond the electronics. We're building a huge facility for batteries only. I think in Vegas, they're going to be the largest battery manufacturer The largest battery manufacturer that employs the largest number of Mexicans in the world. Yeah, Mexicans and probably Chinese. Well, that's actually what happened here. Remember, we had the big battery package. That was the big grand home thing that she brought a whopping, you know, that they, after they killed GM, Ford and Chrysler in Michigan, that they brought back a whopping like 450. Then it became like 560 jobs. And some of the guys listening right now in the area know, Well, the first thing they did after they trained everybody is they brought a whole bunch of Mexicans in and then they brought a whole bunch of Chinese people in to train them in the jobs that they were doing and everybody understood full well with that man. Hey, Dad, can you hear me? Yep, go right ahead, Ed. Okay, which ID are you under in the chat room, LPR or... I'm inside, so... It would be quirky then, okay. Liberty Tree Radio. Hold on here, let me double check. I think you're under LPR. You're under LPR? Yeah, under LPR. So you're in the studio or did you change computers? No, no, no. Well, hold on here. Let me double check. Let me do it this way. Hold on. Type something. This is the way to do it. Yeah, just do that. There we go. Hold on a second. There you go. Sorry, guys. I've been bouncing around between all the different workstations. I have. I had to do maintenance on this one today. And I was working on the other system outside the other systems. We've got three of them running now. I'm running some experiments for actually testing machines for Henry! You're gonna send something to Henry. Yeah, Henry and I've got a Henry project going and I've got a radio truck project going Henry's vehicle Henry's equipment's gonna be the Dells and then I've got a whole pile of Gateways little gateways that I got I don't we're not used for useful for anything we're doing but they'd be great for the radio trucks So they're out there humming right now going through a program I just thought that was cool to see the vehicle up and running apparently she's had it running since 2014 that wasn't that long after he sold it to her Well, the interesting thing about this VK, if you haven't seen it yet, is a very simple design. And these are street worthy. These actually were out there. Then they started making noise about the size of the vehicle, which if you take a look at this, other than the fact it's got the flat lines of a typical late 70s and early 80s car remember where they went square on everything I posted the image of the car without the Modification that monahan made to the front and rear bumper so you can see the change in the design His invention actually made it a little longer forward and backward and gave it more of a bumper whereas before if you hit anything with this you were pretty much dead Yeah Well, actually, what's the name of the little cars, guys, that look like a little lifeboat? They've got two doors. There's basically two people in the front. You can squeeze debris in the back. It's the same size. Except somebody's been posting a picture where one of those had a collision. What are you thinking of the old Dymaxians? Well, they've been around just for the last few years here. I mean, more than a few years now, because they're actually- Oh, the smart cars? Well, they are not electric, they are gas driven, but they may be called a smart car. I really pay attention to the name. Mercedes has a line called smart cars. You can get them in either gasoline or hybrid versions. They are about $10,000 for the gas model. Those strike me as kind of stupid. To go from 30 miles a gallon, which you can get a conventional uh... you know some compact sedan that does thirty and uh... to go to those things in order to get another ten stretching into forty just strikes me as nutty i've seen those things on the freeway and i think you have to be stupid to drive that down the freeway it wasn't that you know it wasn't really meant for that it was meant for being a sci-fi movie or driving just in the grocery store you know that's about what it's a good lifeboat like i said for the truckers listening and be a great thing that hang it out there that behind the main uh... box You know, just like a traditional lifeboat. That way we need to let it down, you know, you just crane it over, drop it to the ground and do do do do do do do. Yeah, you use it as a tender for your RV. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that'd be another one would be cool. I just think if somebody did that, it'd be just needed in squat only because you could. They're not that heavy. The only problem is if they come in contact with another vehicle in motion, you know who's going to win. Well, that's a lot like... It's a lot like some of the little micro cars that they drive around in Rome because there's a total mismanagement of parking space. So those cars are light enough that people can kind of pick them up and move them. So people shuffle them around in parking spaces to pick up the other guy's car and move it to the side so you can wiggle yours in to park it. That kind of stuff. Actually, literally do that. They're like 600-800 pound cars. And the most important part about that is that the horn works. Because that is the tool of traffic control in Italy or France when it comes to those roundabouts. I don't know, a little car like that, if you put an air horn on it, it probably works as a retro rocket. Yeah, that's the only problem, you'd be losing speed. Well, the cool thing about this is that's your safety. You see that your crash is imminent, you lay on the air horn and you decelerate and avoid the crash. The cool thing about the Domino's car, if you take a look at it, it looks like those little pocket space shuttles that they did for Star Trek. Remember the Star Trek, the movies? Check it out. The Star Trek Next Generation had a whole family of shuttles. They kind of made some of them disappear. This fits into the little pocket shuttles they had for Next Generation. There were a couple of them and then they would go to the big stuff. We got more room for the cameras. It was a cool little idea and a lot of these little cars are. I don't have a problem with them. In the future here, let's say we had to resurrect stuff. If we get into a battlefield situation, everything settles down and you get back to real world, you're not going to have all these regulations to try and just beat people off the road. Innovation will be alive again. And it's like after World War II, there are a whole bunch of really neat idea cars that were innovative based on the idea that the machine processes were there, people could be created because they had resource access, they had stuff laying around, and there were some really cool idea cars that came about. They didn't stick around. only because, well, when you've got a three-ton automobile heading down the road, a bubble-shaped car that has a front door that opens up, the whole front of the car opens up as a door, with not much of a bumper, it really didn't have a high survivability rating against that big old Oldsmobile or Buick or that Mercury or the Continental. So that was the real reason was to practice protect life from the competition because they were like the guppies or minnows floating in a sea of ocean liners, which was a dangerous thing. Well, as a teenager, I was sometimes the neighbor had a VW Beetle, and I kind of liked the engineering aspects of the Beetle with the exception of the body, which is the part that is being resurrected into the new Beatles. It's the worthless part of the thing, is the body shape. The old Beatles, the under the hood stuff was interesting. engine and transmission that could all be taken apart and part swapped and all that kind of good stuff. But as a teenager, I ended up on a lot of scout trips riding in the back seat of that VW Beetle. And I tell you, a teenager with a backpack in the backseat of a Beetle is the definition of pain and anxiety. I knew that if we collided with a terrier There would be enough distortion of the body that there's no way I'm getting out until somebody cuts the car apart. So that's the part that disturbed me the most. Right. And unfortunately there were several cars that you could have hit like the Sibka where you're Sir Volkswagen but it had higher survivability. Which is the scary part. There were a few cars out there that were like, oh my god, you mean those are worse. In 1993 there were a whole family of Japanese cars. They came in just before 73. 73 is when the big shift because they knew they were going to do the fuel bump. It's interesting, before 73 there were a series of Japanese cars and four-wheel drive copies of the CJ5 Jeep that were brought in using the 750 Kawasaki motorcycle engine. And that was enough power. Of course, they had a lot of guts anyway. But these vehicles came in. They actually became quite popular. They were fairly fuel efficient. Problem is they were really small. Like you said, they didn't fit well into the fleet in Rome or in France where they need smaller vehicles. And of course, these came from Asia. The thing is that a variation on that is also are the little opals that look like the Corvette with just a little softer line in some areas. About the same window of time those came in is when these came in. They took off and then they cut them off. And anybody that's got them now they're just goofy collectors items simply because for anybody who's a motorcycle aficionado it's the idea that you lift the hood and you know what the engine is. A guy I knew in college had a Honda 500, which was actually an older car. It wasn't by any means new, but that thing had 10-inch wheels and so on, but it had a three-cylinder air-cooled engine. His biggest problem was I tended to get pulled over a lot because I was driving an old a state police patrol car. I had gotten at auction and they didn't like the paint job. He got pulled over all the time because they wanted to see under the hood. Neither of us could go 10 miles down the road without getting pulled over in that era. We got to commiserate our various woes. That little three cylinder air cooled got an actual honest 55 miles a gallon. I had a 70-plum of Grand Fury X Florida Hiropical Car. I had that 440 lean burn engine. It wasn't much good off the line, but it sure would cruise. I had the 440 and the Holley 4 barrel and the front of this brakes, which were way cool back in 1972 and all of that kind of good stuff. I was forced to get rid of that car. I'm told that it would be worth well into five digits nowadays just for parts, but I was required to throw it away because I didn't have extra free parking available at the time. Oh well. Ed, are we going to do the drawing tonight? Yes, we are. We're just past the area. So I'll tell you what. So we should do that because we don't know how long it's going to take. Hold on just a second, guys, because I want to grab one or two things. So Ed, give everybody a run up. What are we doing here? And are we ready to go? Okay, well if when dad is ready he knows the items that are going to be drawn for I've got the list of names and I have a lot of chitlets and a little bucket here I don't know if you can hear that with That coincide with the names on the list and I'm shaking them up real good now Can you hear that BK? Or is that too subtle? Yeah, I had a thought about your procedures. It occurred to me that if we're going to do this on a regular basis, you should get a bucket full of numbered poker chips. And then, you know, as people sign up, you can just assign, you know, 1 to 10 to, you know, Joe and, you know, 11 to 15. It would have been what I did after I could tell you. There we go. Okay, now everybody out there listening again. This is the official drawing and Ed is shaking the now here's how we're gonna do this for the the first item the first item that is up is a Bowie knife with pouch stainless steel This is a wooden laminate. It's actually really cool a really cool about an eighth of an inch shank knife saw back Drop point and that's the first item to be In the drawing and who gets the Bowie knife looks like the person who gets some Bowie knife is Our truck driver friend mark. Oh Yeah, and so mark you get the Bowie knife how we get that to you on the road is we're gonna throw in the car or somebody on 94 We're gonna tell them keep driving to you run into a certain. I think we have a mailing address for mark Very good. So again, for Mark, the driver, we've got the Bowie knife. Yeah, I thought I was unmuted. Sorry, Evan. I've been yelling and I've been screwing my head up. I love that. I'm going to, because I go by Spike's house all the time, so just send it to him and I'll go by his house and get it. Because I had the biggest address I'm hardly ever there. Okay. I think I do. We'll find out. If not, we'll make sure we got it. But I'm pretty sure I have it right here to my left, right only in arms reach way. Okay, so Mark... Very good. And now the next, the next person we're drawing for, well the next item we're drawing for, we don't have any slaves here. Two-piece folding camo knife set. These are drop point also. The quick foot connect. They are again dark and blade. So these are a tactical knife. and it's a set of two and the person who gets the double set of knives is... Shake the box really good. You want me to shake it again? Okay, I can do that. Everybody's happy. Lots of mother shaking. Alright, I think that's shake-nuff. Let's see whose number... Close your eyes, reach in and get snapped by the moss trap. And this would be... Boy, okay hang on, I'm going to read my own handwriting. Michelle? Yeah, Michelle. M-I-C-H-A-E-L, right? Or is that Michael? That's Michael, right? M-I-C-H-A-E-L. Michael? Well, there's the one who won the other knife set there. There we go. And we have the address? I will get that to you later. Poor little chipmunks running around trying to grab one slip after another one slip after another back and forth back and forth It's confusing little chipmunk and this one would be going to Don and for Don out there on B It's not Don betcher. No, it's not This is again down B. You've got a set of the soaps. There we go I'm making sure that we do this right now next is you know that way We're gonna do a mix the hat one of the camouflage hats is next and And now the next is going to be for the soap. Another set of the soaps. I want to make sure I get the sets right here. Nancy put these together. Again, Hunter Pine and the Hunter Earth. I think she might have served them out so they were even on those. I think she did. So that's the set of the soaps. These are again tactical or Hunter soaps is what they're for guys. These were made originally and again these were put together by Freedom Farm Soaps and their phone number is 828-466-2620. They're located in Mayden, North Carolina. So for our friends out there and I want to say thank you to our friends that have donated the soaps, this is what they do. It's what they're into and they do a good job too. We kept some of the soaps guys. They're just because Nancy uses them. That's not these There are other so the other soap right? Yep another soap this one goes to Jim s Jim s so Jim s you might have an idea who you are We're not giving out last names But Jim last name is starts with an s has got one of the set of soaps now the next is for a hat So for our friends out there again, this is gonna be one of the duckbill hats flash camouflage with embroidery We're being as fair as we can that way totally random everything's mixed up and the next hat goes to Jim S again got a hat and some soap. Oh, well he's luckier than the average bear. Okay, there we go And now the next one is for let's see. We got the hat now next one is for another set of soap And again, remember guys, we're going to have another drawing next week also. We won't have the soaps. We may have different soaps, actually. OK, I'm ready, Dad. Go right ahead. This is for? This is for the soaps, by the way. Another set of soaps. Another set of soaps goes to Mark. Our truck driver friend again, he's got something to knife. Uh oh. He's gonna have a knife and he can smell good. Well he can smell natural. You don't do that in a truck very often. You're gonna smell like pine and dirt. I knew you were gonna say that. Wait, you smell like pine and dirt right now. I don't know. Okay. You're putting dirt in the self, what's the point? You kind of come in full circle, right? How many more things we got left to go through? The next thing we've got at this point is Don's knife, fork, and spoon Russian knife, fork, and spoon set. They come apart, they actually go together as a system, fold up, and that's the knife, fork, and spoon system. Dom offered one of those because he has a few of those. Nobody else does. I don't even have, but I think two of those left from the many, many, many that we bought, guys. And they're actually supposed to be the best math issue. And this is for the fork, knife, and spoon. And who gets it? David C. David C. OK, now, tell us what we'll do. Actually, I don't think we've ever heard if we give out last names, would it? I don't know. If you haven't got specific clear accents, don't. David sees getting the Russian silverware set, right? Yep. Okay. We're going to do another hat. One more hat. Let's do that. Okay. One more hat and we're done, guys. That'll be it for this drawing. For those who may not have got anything, well, we tried. We appreciate the donations too, by the way, and everybody pitching in. And one more hat. and the survey says pomegranates. Glade A G L A Y D. Last name starts with an A. Got the other hat correct? Yep. Glade what's the last glade? Last name? Glade A. A, alpha. Okay very good. So there we go. Now I'm going to do a review of this real quick so everybody knows what's going on. The bow knife went to Mark. The two knives set went to Mikkel. The first soap went to Don B. The first hat went to Thomas B. The second soap went to Jim S. The second hat went to Jim S. Then the next soap went to the last, went to Mark so he will feel comfortable while he's cutting, I assume, people, things, whatever. He'll be clean and then he'll have to clean himself up afterwards. That's right, knife, soap. Anyway then we've got the Russian fork knife and spoon set, that's David C. And the hat goes to Glade A. Thank you for watching. I'm going to relay the pertinent information to you over private chat. You'll just have to copy it down. All right Well, it's a mobile I think a two meters what we're trying to decide we get a two meter here We've got a really nice CB. You probably got a CB. I was hoping to find a marine radio That's I have to here, but I don't think they're nice enough. They're serviceable but I know what to do with them. Somebody else would have a time with them and The marine or the two meter would be the two best choices The 2 meter that we have is in the box. It's a Cobra product. Nice radio. Not too big. It's pretty well, pretty straightforward bells and whistles. As soon as I can get a confirmation, like I said, tomorrow when the guys stop by, we're going to be doing a lot of bouncing around. We might have some other stuff at the other location tomorrow too. That's why I'll find out soon enough what we have. But we want to thank all of our friends that have donated items and anything that's donated we'll put it into the again we'll put it into the drawing. Everybody let everybody else know if they can. This is a way to again everybody get something out of the deal or at least somebody does really the opportunity to and I think everybody's happy you know with the end results. It's all nice stuff. The soap actually they sent us a certain amount that was for Nancy as a gift and this is This particular type of soap the guys have used and we've experimented with so we've tested, we know it works well. It doesn't smell like animal dung or anything like that. At least I don't think it does. I don't know. What's it say here? Natural ingredients and it's all organic. And it says it's animal products. Wait a minute. It's a glycerin soap by the way. This is a very high quality soap too. So heads up on that and you're going to like what you get there. Maybe it smells like leaf loam or something. Right, the whole idea is it's not an aggressive scent. They don't want an aggressive scent to begin with. You want to try and mask or first wash off. Basically you wash, then you use this soap and that gives you a base bass aroma that with your clothes covering everything up should be in better shape. This is something that the guys used to do with. I actually have a rub. If you know the old voyage air method, you actually had a rub that was designed with organics so that you didn't smell like the old polecat that most human beings are. That was the purpose. Be a little sneaky repeat out there in the woods. This is more sophisticated and you don't have to worry about it fermenting on the back porch and smelling up the house. I don't think we've done that down the road. We'll see what happens. Anyway, we are headed on down the road, the drawing, for this week. Thank you to all of our friends for donating. We greatly appreciate that. Again, this Quartermaster Friday, I want to remind everyone Centerfiresystems.com because it's Quartermaster Friday and they have all these Christmas specials. Two things I want to jump on again real quick. Centerfiresystems.com. Go to their 12 Days of Christmas special down at the bottom. They have a bunch of those AK items for just giveaway prices, guys. If you wanted to experiment to make something, you could screw on the end of your AK with the fine thread that isn't going to go anywhere and you wanted a base component. Eliminating the threading issue. Down the road for creating quiet objects, the idea is that a blank adapter is a sound component that can be used to develop a lot of other cool technology. And it's a throwaway item. You're talking $0.10 apiece for those. It's so cheap, it's like, well, get a couple dollars worth and just put them on the shelf. You've got a project idea. You're going to use an AK. Well, there you go. They also have of course, compensators, multiple compensators, those are cheap. The shell extractors. The Yugo butt stocks, which are Polymer and they're the thumb hole. They're basically about a dollar something a piece of what they've got them for right now. All of that's at Centerfire. Go to their Christmas Special section. You check it out. You've got a lot of AKs down at the bottoms where you want to go first. They do have a couple of really good buys on mags. That's a solution. Next. All of us, I don't care. You've got to protect your limbs. Doctors are going to be few and far between or they're going to be tied up with a lot of work. Let's prevent them from providing more. I should say we don't want to provide more work to them. copesdistributing.com, then go to their miscellaneous section in the line on the far right side, go to copesdistributing.com, go to the miscellaneous section, pop up to the surplus, and then when you do that, go to the second page on the upper right hand corner, $2.50 a pair for large size, in other words adult size, elbow pads. Now these are elbow shock pads guys, they're the ones you're very familiar with, you've seen them. They're Woodland Camo, they're brand new in the package for $2.50. They're not going to last. They had the matching knee pads for $0.99 a pair. Those are gone, but for $2.50 now They've got a baseline shipping of $9.00 and some odd cents so look through their other stuff That's on sale look through their volume deals you can easily come up with something that's going to keep the shipping down to maybe a few pennies per item or a dollar per item and again the more you buy cheaper is because After all your baseline shipping cost is a little under $10 or about $10 so for $2.50 a set That's the best price. I've been watching for these because I really affirm believer in them. Elbow and knee injuries, we got a lot of older people, we're all getting older. If we're going to be out doing anything, especially in the future, protecting those components is critical. One funny bone bump and you are really not a happy camper. The knee pads if I can find a place where they got the Woodland camo again. Now I would point out just to give you an idea they've got Coyote Brown there for like five times the cost on the same page and they're the same product. These are Woodland, those are Coyote Brown. Now Brown's cool but Woodland camo over 250 is a lot cooler. So that's a very reasonable price. As I pointed out Woodland camo is a drug on the market right now. I would say Woodland Camo is number one, DCU is number two, ACU is coming up behind it. Now again, Woodland Camo is the green range, Three Colored Desert is DCU and there's tons of it out there right now in MOLLEGEAR, uniforms, helmet covers. In fact, forgive me, I've got to dig it back up, I saw helmet covers brand new for 99 cents a piece. That's in the DCU or in the chocolate chip. I really don't care which way you go with that because both will work. The other thing is, again, it's brand new stuff. It's been in pretty good sizes. The ACU, well remember they just made the announcement, BK, that they're going to now fade out the ACU uniform. Well, that's about freaking time. Yeah, well the thing is there's going to be a lot of it out there. And while it's not the first choice, there are some solutions which nobody's really talked about yet. Number one, consider that while you won't get as defined a pattern, you can either paint, brush, we can experiment and come up with a design that we can writ, dye, the uniforms. Yeah, you can train them if you have to or you can just treat them as work utilities for that matter. Exactly. Yeah, they're cheap. But the thing is that the web gear is there. So for the guys in the desert that are listening, because down on the border is the only place where the stuff really works. I mean, it does. You get up to down to the bottom of California, the bottom of Arizona and New Mexico. Look at some of the pictures of the militia deployments with the ACU down there. It blends in well. The guys use it mixed with the Woodland or use it with other greens because of the high low color range thing with the field. But the thing is you can put a whole ACU set together right now for easily with several uniforms, the field jacket and a full MOLLE rig with lots and lots of pouches for under $100. And that way the helmet covers never go. Why are we always changing the camo patterns Mark? It's a fashion entertainment thing. Well, here's the thing. Ed knows I have the prototype cloth for Digital from 1975. I got swaths of that, enough to actually put some odds. I could make a number of different clothing items if I wanted to, but I kept the stuff around because they've been pushing Digital that far back. They couldn't get it to stick because everybody was like, guys, not everything is square in nature. But what the argument was, and it still really is for most of the digital patterns, is how it works with night vision. See, if you think back during Desert Dust 1, 1989, 1990. Yeah, the idea is it creates a bit of a moire pattern with your own raster scans. Yeah, remember it was before we ran out of... Before we run out of time, I want to ask you one. Earlier this week you were talking about some storage loaves. What were those? That was over at Major Surplus. I called and checked on them. They are out of one of them already, but they do have three. I wanted to bring it up too, so thank you BK. That's at Major Surplus, but you've got to get the flyer. I had the flyer right here and it's probably buried now and I won't be able to find it in time because I was bouncing. Oh no, here it is. I had it out where I could find it, right under the bowie knife. That's why I can't find it. The number is 800-441-8855. But here are the numbers because if you go to their page, they don't list all of these cakes, guys. I did call today and I said, hi girls, how are you doing? She said, well I'll go check for you. I asked, are they all in stock? She went and checked. The numbers all start with a 0-9 and then they do a dash. The carrot pound cake is gone. That's the one that's already sold out. Otherwise, 3145, that's the spice pound cake. 3145. The other one is 3146, that's the vanilla pound cake. 3146. The third one is 3149, 314 Niner. That's the lemon poppy seed. They are 10 for $12.95 if you just buy one. But the big deal is if you buy 10 boxes of 10, they're $99.95. So it's a dollar a loaf. These are 10 inches long, 5 inches wide by 5 inches high and these are MRE storage pouch systems. This is like the old hospital cakes like I talked about for years. Not with a variety. Basically it's a big version of the other types of pound cakes that they make in the small MRE pouches. They do have some other sales on the MRE stuff. You might want to check out. They're actually pretty good price. Do they specify the weight? weighs 2.03 pounds for 10 Sold in 10 packs now again remember this 10 inches long the specs are here 10 inches long 5 inches wide 5 inches high and 2.03 pounds for 10 of them Now it's a pound cake loaf the same thing we got in the MREs and they used to have in the cans in the sea rats so Except this is the big this is bigger. Oh, sorry. Go ahead call. I'm just letting you know if you look at the private chat in the chatroom now, you'll have all the information listed there. Very good. All right. And that's way too much for me to read and write. I think I'm just going to shut it off and go to bed. There's a lot of information there to copy down that's for sure. Again, for those pound cakes and also the other MRE stuff, that's at majorsurplus.com. They have some clothing items and I didn't get a chance to go over those, but they have, for instance, the check work coats, which are in the rain pattern camo, three for $16. I do not know what their shipping conditions are but three for $16 for a trench coat slash field jacket. It's a Parker length, actually a little longer than Parker length, field jacket. It comes with a liner. These are all brand new, old stock, three coats, larger, extra large for $16. I can't buy that coat for less than $10 wholesale. They've got the jobber price because they've got old connections and that's what makes the difference when it comes to certain items. So again, that's a better price than I can buy it for. That's three coats for $16. It would cost me $30 for the same coats. Wholesale. They're buying it at bulk jobber is what they're doing. That's why they've got the deal on it. Again, the item number on that is 08-0525. It's a three pack, oh I'm sorry, they actually checked it. The Polish Camo Parca slash coat. Actually, I don't know if they got the nationality right because I am pretty sure that's the check. But, I could be wrong. The pattern is the same, the colors are the same and the coats are very high quality. That's another neat little solution. They also have some commando of the British commando sweaters up to extra large for those guys who need them. Two pack of the wool commando sweaters in the regular full crew, not the V-neck but the regular full collar. $16.95. So $17 for two is a pretty good price for commando sweaters. Not everybody even has them anymore. Nobody hardly carries them because they're not coming out of surplus. Too many wars going on. They don't come over here the way they were. So there are some pretty good things that major. Not everything is a great price, but there are some specific items that just jump out. So I'll give you an idea of what's going on. Last but not least, and again remember we've had a lot of people talking about training. If you've got people and you want to try to bring them up to speed, if you feel a little help, go to Liberty Tree Radio on YouTube. Go through our PM series. Now you can do that or just go through all the militia videos that we've done. There are a lot of idea or concept videos as far as information on how to's. Start from the older videos and work your way forward. But for a lot of you guys out there, the idea was to again establish specific macro standards. That way we can get everybody moving kind of in the same direction. Somebody in California has a different way of doing something in Georgia, which is different from Michigan, which is different from Maine. We expect that. There's 50 stinking states that we officially have. We ain't going to Hawaii. We're probably not going to get to Alaska. We'll be fighting in the 48. So, it's going to be down here. And the country is so big, what you're doing in Maine, I'm going to be able to have any control over anyway, so congratulations. It's OJT time. You're going to figure out how to do it on the job, as they say. So, we'll get the job done. We'll do what we can to put everything together accordingly, but we need again everybody to pitch in and pass the information on. Also, let people know how LTR is. Every place I go, if you get anything, you go to social media sites, you'll notice when I do something, I always put either the micro effect or Liberty Tree Radio or a combination everywhere, every time. If there are several postings, pay attention. I put Liberty Tree Radio in there as a benchmark every time. If you could do the same thing, it helps us. www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. It makes a difference. It really does, guys. BK, anything else jump in there, please, sir? No, we're over the top already. Okay, very good. And again, that's a major surplus. Check out the page. Promise they only have one of those cakes at the ID. So I'll find out more again about a couple of the other items I just had. I'm only going to go through so much before we had to be on the air this afternoon. And people, we are going to continue to do what we can. The best of our ability, we're going in in 2015. Everybody feels bad. I don't feel bad. I just feel there's an urgency to get stuff done. So again, stay focused on the mission. Remember those pieces we played by Leslie Fish? In fact, the wheel is an excellent piece. We will play those during the programming this next week coming up on a regular basis. Stay focused. Just that simple. When I'm off the air, as soon as I'm walking away from this microphone, I'm back to work. I'm not stopping until I just can't go anymore and then get some rest. We've got to do the program in the morning. As soon as we're done with the program in the morning, I'm right back to doing the same thing. All of you should be thinking the same way. There's something that can get done, something you can accomplish. You've got work to do. You've got to take care of that. Make money. Again, because we don't want to bump anybody over the head, we use the fair exchange system we have with whatever we accept. Paper, coin, you figure it out. We need to be intelligent about it. Anyway, Ed, we should be hearing the music. We are past the top. We are actually five past the top. And Edward's probably going, oh my god, what happened? Wait a minute, where is it? Or we lost Ed. Or maybe we're isolated and we're by ourself and we're not even up and on the air. Oh, you're on the air, I'm sure. Hey, Ed, play the Christmas cookie song. I like the Christmas cookie song. There we go. That would be a good closer run it out. Uh oh. Well, we're not leaving for the moment, but the Christmas Cookie Song is what BK wants to hear, and the Christmas Cookie Song is for this time of year. I think so. Here's a thought for everybody. They make jokes about everybody sending each other the same fruitcakes forever and ever. You send them all to me. I won't send them anywhere. They won't go to anybody else if you send them to me. Yeah, that's 19th century MREs, and I like them. Oh, Nancy is ready to make hers, and guys, I'll tell you what, we have tens of pounds of material we've been saving up. And it's every dried fruit you can imagine, plus all the traditional ones that you're familiar with, and oh my goodness. When she is done with the fruit cakes that she makes all day, that's what I'm telling you, they're like butter. They're just fantastic. That's why I always laugh because like I said, years ago, one cycle we drew, the quartermaster, I don't know what the hell the first one went over. The only thing he could pull from the depot was the Christmas meals. So we had day after day after day Christmas meals guys. Everybody's like oh my god fruitcake again. I'll take it I got to the point where I was like hey just over here. What are you talking about? You started talking about Nancy's fishing and I'm sitting here driving a truck. I can't even reach through the refrigerator door. I mean I'm sitting here like dying over here. Remember in the sea ration the fruitcake was in the candy can. Candy sized can, your condiment can. You know what I'm talking about? Your candy and cookie can. And you had your patent frisbees, your patent crackers, and you had chocolates that were the size of those that were half the can in some, all the can in others, depending on what it was. But that fruitcake, oh yeah. Well, you're not allowed to put fruit cakes into the popcorn tin because that's not kosher anymore, right? You're mixing two kinds of food groups. Yeah, right. Oh, that'd be perfect. Yes. Fruit cake at the bottom, popcorn up above, and flavored to my discretion. Yes, I can handle that. Well, we actually have 100 tins here for that purpose, for the fruit cake and such, just for that reason. And I keep watching for more than anybody gets rid of. I start from up in a heartbeat. Uh, metal pins are a good idea. By the way, I don't know where Ed went. Help us, Ed! Well, you know what? I'm gonna do this, because you'll probably end up going out to another piece of music. But I'm gonna pull this up again. I'm here, Dad. What did you need? I was actually sitting in the other room having my dinner. We're the cops! We're past the top. I'm not sure what the cookie song is so Christmas cookie song I love Christmas cookies remember I love Christmas cookie. Oh, it's probably on the Playlist right yeah Should be there then I'll see if I can find it you guys wrap up What the heck did this just do? My goodness. Okay. I got it someday someone hit this computer. I actually I better not do that I only do that when it needs to be fixed Anyway, we are at the top. Guys, Quartermaster Friday is coming to a close for us, but not for you. We've got gun shows this weekend. This Christmas should be a heavy Christmas. Ammunition, mags.
