Live 365. He's just trying to get by When his second tour was over And he made his way back home He felt defeated, discouraged, and alone You might say he has some problems You wouldn't understand No, this wasn't quite the life that he had planned He's been living in seclusion In a cabin by the lake He's been seeking faith with every toke he takes And now that pot's been legalized Well, this old broken land When's the music Colorado? of the revolution.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The 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 won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free and home good evening ladies and gentlemen this is the Evening Intelligence Report, Mark Courtney. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, central, southeast, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra-net technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska Hallmark, Denver from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida to the bottom of Florida, to the bottom of Florida, to the north of the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Big China, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the Pitts and the Thirther Fift and our friends Colorado. Waving the love coast, we have the great state of Jefferson and our friends up and down the coast all the way to Canada. Mexico turning back to the east we sweep across plains over the Mississippi line of the Smokies where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the bobbell grandma consortium bring us the gold and spiked on. Still dark here and same temperature. Actually the heat's been kind of kept in from the day. Not that it was warm but you know it's been medium, head, no above freezing, but that way comfortably above freezing. What's today today? What's jumping off the wall? What's happened up there in your neck of the woods? Hey it is the 15th day of Year of Our Lord 2014 and as you say it's you know it's dark and it's not going to get much colder it'll be a pleasant evening it'll turn a little more winter like over the next few days but you don't hear me complaining because today was a very nice day for this time of year again the 15th day of December. If you're a nice fisherman in Michigan well you're probably kind of disappointed if you're if you're really there's the big hint for your snowmobile to be the road sink or the... and you know if you're a skier most of them are making snow here in Michigan. So you can go skiing. Alright, again the 15th day of December. Go ahead. We can run in a number of different directions. We could talk about beheadings around the world. We could talk about actions with individuals here and there but you know what? That God-given right to self-defense. We've addressed this many, many times and You guys, there's a whole bunch of things you can have on your person that considered weapons in court until, well, did you see what he did with that? We might have to... Is there a charge for death by newspaper? Is there a criminal code number for that? Or do we simply call it a bludgeon? So again, you guys, we could bring up many examples. And I want to do this just... We don't have to dwell on this, but I don't particularly care for that Chuck Norris fellow. He'd really turn New World Order after he quit fighting. There was a movie he was in once, Mark, and he walked into a room with one of his instructors, a friend also. He was there to do some business with him and some other people. Things got pretty sour real quick, and everybody's beating everybody up. Chuck's beating on somebody, and he turns and looks at his friend, and his friend picks up the receiver from a plug-in to the wall phone. Boy, those are almost antiques now. and wax this guy over the head with the talking portion of that phone. The curly wire and all of that. Wax this guy on the head with the phone. Chuck watches and here is this great master that supposedly in this movie trained him from a little child and he is beaten on this guy with a telephone. The guy says, anything that works. There is a lot to be learned there, anything that works. I'm reminded of the story, and I fall back to this one because it's not a story, it's a true recounting of a person confronted by someone else who simply rolled up a newspaper and put an end to it. With a rolled up newspaper, you guys. A pencil isn't generally considered a weapon. You could have a pencil in your pocket. But, you know, there's more than one person in jail for assaulting someone or bringing about the end of someone with a pencil. A pen is better. The plastic pens, you know, the cheap 19 cent BIC, one can do a lot of damage, such an implement, if that were the bent of some welding it. Now, without, you know, without, boy, if you wanted to hurt somebody with a BIC pen, and you put your mind to it, you really, really could, I mean really, really could hurt somebody with a big pin to the extent, is there a number for this crime or do we simply charge them with stabbing this person to death? So again, we could run this in a number of circles. How about a simple hardback? It's harder to do with a paperback, but a hardback book to stay together longer. When held properly and driven to the temple or driven into the throat like a strike, it keeps you from breaking your knuckles. Or if you were a woman, it would keep you from breaking your fingernails instead of doing that spear hand strike to the eyes or to the throat or bringing a knuckle up to the temple. Now, that's getting a little bit on the soft side. How about that ashtray laying there? That injection molded plastic ashtray that the cigarette just won't burn? You know how hard that plastic is? I refer back to the aforementioned telephone receiver. It's the same plastic. You could almost have an elephant sit on it or at least, well, I was going to say step on it, but almost have an elephant sit on it and it would not hardly even change shape. But again, the plastic ashtray. The glass appearing to be crystal ashtray. Now you could have a glass ashtray in your car because you know what? A lot of cars these days, them stingy manufacturers trying to save money, Mark. Why? They don't put ashtrays in cars anymore. It's not politically corrupt. I mean, correct. So you have to flick that ash out the window or bring an ashtray. Now a lot of people bring these baggy, these bean bag kind of ashtrays because they fit almost anywhere on the dash and if you put them down as long as you're not in a bad collision, they kind of tend to stay where they are. But if you have a little niche or a little nook or place where you can put one of those dinky little glass ashtrays that appear to be crystal, and you pick it up in such a way that you carry it between the heel of your thumb, like the heel of your foot, and your fingertips. You can beat on somebody all day long with that, particularly if you're striking into the face, the temple, the throat, and that won't break on you. It won't hurt your hands hardly at all because of the way you learn to hold it. It's just an ashtray. Now if you're worried about that breaking because you might be a big man and a hard striker, replace it with one of those plastic ashtrays. We go back to the telephone receiver and that example. So many things can be brought up. We've talked about taking a couple of dots of silicon and gluing temporarily just so it doesn't slide around a pair of scissors. into that pocket that's on your driver's door or your passenger door. Or if there isn't one, literally just with that phone and some tape to hold it, literally just gluing that pair of scissors. And if the officer asks why, why that's to cut myself free from seat belts if need be, sir. And he might look at you a little sideways, but he might say, well, that's a reasonable excuse. And if you ever end up in court, because, well, I grabbed the gun and drew it past me as I was bringing up the scissor and introducing it into his chest at the base of his throat, Your Honor. I did that in defense of my family. And when the persecutor asked you, why were those scissors there? Why those scissors were there to cut myself and my family free of seat belts, if need be? We've talked about this, we've addressed this in so many ways. You know, when you get to be older, 50, 60 years old, you might have been a really hard puncher when you were a younger man. And you might still have a great portion of that speed. Some people carry that speed. They can still have 85, 90% of the speed they had as a young man. And that gets up to a hard-hitting man. But you can hit somebody so hard when you're 50, 60 years old that you break your own hand instead. There's this big old long medical word, it's osteoporosis, meaning your bones kind of shed density over time. If you can put something in your hand before you strike, it would be better. I go back to, because it's become real popular in this portion of this conversation, the plastic ashtray. Bones right now, you guys. Portable phones used to be pretty tough. You wouldn't want to hit somebody with your portable phone because you paid so much for it. But portable phones, pocket phones, cell phones now, you hit somebody with it, it will probably crumble in your hand. It will probably crumble in your hand. Now if you live in a bad neighborhood and if you have a screwdriver on the floor and you get pulled over, that cop could probably want to if he wants to be a real pain. He might want to press you or have you spend a few hours in jail arresting you for having that screwdriver on the floor or tucked into the council. Why, that's a concealed weapon. Or it is, you might not even call it concealed, it's a weapon and you're bearing a weapon. And we don't, how would they, we don't shine to that in our county. We don't cotton to that in this township. However he addresses it, you might spend a few hours or the night in jail. for something that would be like a hammer to forehead is better than boot to head. But the next threat that was going to get in the car, the guy whose gun you just got passed and relieved, oh I'm going to steal this one, relieved his mind from his thoughts. The other guy who was going to go along for the ride seeing what just happened might be beating feet in the other direction. Here's a Hollywood hint. Do not throw your hammer at him. You can keep it. Here's another thing you can keep now. The gun that was just your assailants. If you call a cop, it's probably going to be evidence. So that's an up-in-the-air thing if you want to keep that gun or not. Years and years ago, Mark, someone came here to pick up a piece of night vision. Years and years ago, and he came with his friend and he was here because he was working on construction. And he was telling me earlier in the year, he was down in Cincinnati. This was when we were building things in America. He was building this big building in Cincinnati and on his way to work one morning he stopped at the light in this wreck of a car and he couldn't believe that someone stuck a gun through the passenger window almost to his head and told him to get out of the car. Right off the gate, you know, this guy is a loser. Stuck a gun through the passenger window almost to his head and told him to get out of the car. He didn't even open the door. Right off the get you know this guy's a loser the gun went to the dashboard the foot went to the floor for an incident and then the brake and now that gun is that driver's gun and That fellow has an arm that this happened many years ago And I have no doubt that man has an arm that when it rains it hurts unto today for the wrenching it took a little bit of gas and a lot of brake and My gun now So, again, even without a weapon, Mark, you've pointed out many times the fact that your car can be a weapon. In this instance, a weapon, even when the assailant wasn't standing in front of or behind the car, in fact, the only part of him that was really important, his hand and the gun, was very far into the sled. He learned real quick to his distance. Now, again, you guys, When you're at home, and we've talked about this many times, don't you have this and that and the other thing within two steps? You've heard the old song, give me two steps, mister. The crook ain't going to do that for you, and sometimes we strive to practice proper English. But the crook is going to set upon you as fast as he can with all that he can bring to bear, because he's a coward. Now, to be prepared for this, there's a difference between being a coward and being prepared. Because a coward will set upon you in the darkness as you walk by. He'll wait for you to walk by. But the prepared man in the darkness, he's listening, he's looking, he's moving as he moves toward that shadow. He looks at it with question, doesn't he? He might even move to the other side of that hallway, that alley to walk a little bit more in the light, to give himself that little bit more distance between the perceived threat and where we're distancing ourselves from. But again, sometimes sitting down in your car you don't have the ability to take three steps. It's step on the gas, step on the brake. My gun now. See how that works? But, you know, I'm not advocating, you know, trying to fight a gun, you guys. That's a high form, that's a high skill. And it's a confidence thing. It's a reaction thing. Because when we do drills like this with a rubber band gun, the rubber band gun to the forehead, unless the person is so belligerent that he just shoots you, He's waiting for his victim to move, and we've done this a thousand times here. There are people who have done it two and three hundred times. You move the opposite way of the hand that's moving to intercept it. Your head is moving the other way. If it moves the same way as the gun, bad news for you, right? Bad news for you. You combine the motion of your head moving one way and your hand's moving the gun the other way. That's the most base motion is the guy that sticks the gun right in your face. Everything above that, what you do with your feet, what you do with your hands is a higher thought that's hard to describe on the radio. But you might want to take both the gun in both hands as you step toward your opponent and your elbow slips over his forearm and now you turn about 180 degrees as fast as you can while you lock his forearm to your ribs by bringing your elbow to your ribs. Either you're going to take that gun from him or you'd better be prepared to follow him as you whip him off of his feet. Again, now we're describing actions instead of just pick this up and beat them with it kind of thought lines and what do you have at hand. But we've gone back. We did take that conversation into your house, didn't we? We've talked about the gun on top of it. His two-year-old son found it and brought about his own demise. brought that to the air. We've talked about leaving things around the house so you're two steps away from defense of yourself and your family. No matter what your choice, it could be a blade, it could be a bludgeon, it could be a gun. If it is a gun, you've thought long and hard about where you put it, right? Particularly if you have children in the house, particularly if you have high traffic in the house. Because, you know, sometimes the thing that comes up missing up missing even when the door is locked or even when no one that was unknown was in the building. So again, sometimes when you deploy things you don't even want even your friends to know that they... Now before we move away from this I want to tell you about an old, old trap. And it goes back to guns and it goes back to knives and it goes back... What would you do? You go and see somebody and you've been buttonheads with this guy for a good long time and he might have even told you or someone might you might have heard one time that that guy said he was going to kill you. Now you sit down in the house and you're trying to you know patch things up and make things better and you're talking about this and the conversation might turn to guns or turn to knives and the guy says do you want to see my knife collection? And the other person says, yeah, sure. And the guy brings out a box of knives, and there's all kinds of different knives in there. And you pick up this knife, and you pick up that knife, and you pick up a big knife, and you look up, and the guy shoots you dead. And then he puts the box of knives away, and the knife in the box doesn't look like any other knife in the house. And then he calls the police and says he was assaulted by the victim with a knife and shot him dead. So again, we talk about pieces. We talk about where they are. We talk about what can be done with them. And the same thing could be done with a gun collection. Would you like to see this gun? Look what I just got. And someone hands you a gun. Again, sometimes things that are missing aren't taken because the door wasn't locked. Okay? Mark, I ate up the first half hour. Thank you very much for this time. I'll be quiet now. There are things you can't get under certain situations you can access in this day and age. So think when you're looking at items, how best can I make these work for me as a combination tool for the future? That's the way to look at it. If I needed something and I had to grab something, what could I do with it? How could I make it work? And that's especially true when we're looking at the situations here where the threat can come from anywhere. It's obvious the bad guys are trying to do everything they can to plug a crisis situation into America, make everybody scared, make everybody afraid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, as we know. Well, we're already expecting that. We understand the concept of what they're up to and how they're doing it. If we think ahead and prepare accordingly, we can easily deal with the problem. But there are situations where you may not have a weapon in hand. A system that is directly available can be applied. That is a weapon system. That's where improvising, adapting, and overcoming comes in. Okay, just remember again, it's a matter of you being creative and plugging in the technology is needed to get the job done when I say plugging in I mean whatever you have a hand plugging it into the adversary The other issue here is remember any strike is a good strike If you are in a situation where you can't apply a weapon to we know that what you thought would be the primary target get a hit in no matter what Remember, that stun injury, no matter where it is, is better than either striking air or hesitating where you had an opportunity to do damage. If you are in a struggle with somebody and you're able to access something and there's a shoulder, an arm, again, stab fast. One thing to remember is shock trauma, shock trauma, shock trauma. I've repeated this a million times. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it's where a bunch of soldiers on an exercise, they're in an area where there's werewolves. and they don't know it and they end up in this farmhouse. There is a scene there that is so classic where the guy defends himself in the kitchen and everything in the kitchen is the weapon. He takes everything he can get his hands on and uses it as a weapon. That's how you need to think. When you see that scene, he boils up the water, he's got everything he can get going. The butcher knives are right there and when he grabs the butcher knives, it's like he grabs two of them and he just goes to town scissor. Why? You know what? Not scissor, but sewing machine. You know, like, WAAAAAAH! And you know, WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAAH! WAA And if you, or if you've only got one shot, jam the sucker in as far as you can and break it off. You see, it's one thing for a muscle to be free after injury. It's another thing for any, any part of your body to have an obstruction stuck through it and staying there. You see that type of delivered energy continues to create trauma and problems for the nervous system. The body responds erratically. This gives you an opportunity to perhaps get another cut, another punch, another kick, maybe just break away and un-ARCE the AO. and if he wants to chase even as you're turning here's another thing to remember you're looking for more weapons right away oh look there's a there's a rake oh not a hay rake there's a rake oh look there's a stick it's a big like hickory stick it can be a cane it can be a walking club it can be whatever run toward it oh repeat run toward it yes run towards it if you're out in a situation where you don't see any help get to whatever it is where there's more of a weapon and again Let him chase. Ideally, like you've seen many times but they don't really explain what's going on. The guy dodges around the corner. Hey, you go around the corner and that's where you find the hickory stick. That's where you find that baseball bat. That's where you find baseball bat, baseball bat, golf club, whatever. You run around the corner. They're pissed or it's pissed. Again, somebody's pissing is chasing you. Well, when they come around the corner, say hello to my friend Jose Jimenez, the baseball bat. Boom, it's like time out and beside bit by the way once they're down keep going with it Well, they're down. Yeah, and he might get right back up. I don't know what drugs he's on I don't know what got him motivated to be stupid and figure he's gonna try and murder you or set you on fire and burn 95% of your body Or hammer you to death or oh wait a minute my describing all these situations that we've been reporting on for the last couple weeks I don't think any of those people plan on that being part of their day's experience. Do you? The victims did not think that way. On the other hand, we're not going to be a good victim now, are we? So everything that you've got, anything that you've got, even if all you can do, it might even break. But the idea, let's remember that if you've got something where it's limited, sunglasses, any kind of tool, whatever it is, even if it's something that's made out of plastic, Remember, go for soft tissue. Try to get stuff into the face and the eye. Ideally, take an eye. Take and do damage where it's going to be obvious and can't be hidden. See, there's another thing. If you figure you're going to go, make sure you put as much of a mark on them as you possibly can and their DNA wherever you can drag it. So it's spread all over the place. It's blood. You've got chunks of their tissue all over you in different ways. And by the way, it took that eyeball out in the process. He ain't just bee bopping around after that, contrary to popular belief. the damage to the ocular area you shove something into in an eye just keep jamming it there because go right on through that soft skull or that that soft bone behind the eye oh yeah just keep pumping kids if you can jam it into something like that just hammer down on it hammer down on it especially oh he's on the ground and rising good kick him in the head take that boot girls and put it right on this temple and stomp with all the strength you've got stop Girls have fantastic lower body strength. They have really not so great upper body strength, but boy they've got lower body strength. So if you've got the target on the ground stomp anywhere you can at first. If it's like well I'm not right where I want to kick him, get some bites in there in other ways, but preferably places where it will hurt and do damage in ways that can't be fixed quickly. But stop in ways also the other consideration if you want we have so much go ahead It's a reaction thing But if the hand is flat on the ground crush it with our heel if the knee is flat on the ground Crush it with your heel if the ankle is flat on the ground Because what I mean about flat on the ground if he's moving to get up In that three quarters or two and a half seconds that that hand is on the ground it should be a target. If he's turning his body and his toes are on the ground and his knees are on the ground because he's facing the ground, starting it up, you need to introduce his ankle to the ground. That's going to hurt a whole lot. He's going to probably roll back to the ground. Depending on the target offered for that second or three, take the opportunity. War is an opportunity thing. Martial arts, personal fighting is an opportunity thing beyond description. I can't say that enough. I could say that for the next 25 minutes. It's an opportunity thing. It's an opportunity thing. It's an opportunity thing. You'd get sick of it, but it could not be repeated enough. I told you a little while ago, I'd be quiet now, Mark. I'll try to back that up. Well, the tie-in of this, too, is, again, by either intent or accident, is, you know, opportunity is presented. One of the things to remember is, again, like the guy that was set upon with his wife being attacked. He had only moments to get into the fray. But you need to remember that as you wade into something like that, you know, again, if he's moving and they're already attacking her, then one element there is not, on a four or five or six assailants, one of them is not facing you. In fact, they might initially realize you, but remember that hammers, because they are like a battle axe or a tomahawk, you have to focus on strike and engagement. When you are going to get a closer weapon like that, if you are not staying focused, remember there are two things that are happening. Target motion and good old energy applied because once a weapon like that is in motion, it takes a lot more resource and focus to redirect it. If you were coming on a group like that, remember, jam a knee from behind. If there's something that presents to you from behind and it's the most close and opportune target, remember all the weight you can to the back of that knee and thrust to the center, bending it and also grabbing them by the head, but try to keep that leg pressed down while you press it forward. You will dislocate something. He is hurt. He will be hurt. He is not going to be happy camper no matter how you look at it. If you grab him by the head, rip an eye out. Grab the grab the grabbing but if all you can do no I've seen this guys if this is wicked But if you got a pencil is better and the pencil is really wicked But if you if you're coming up from behind and you're dealing with multiple targets later You're coming to support an ally See this before you grab the face and you just read think about how much energy you've got when you're drumming Russia's going Grab a guy's lips inside just like you're grabbing a fish and just tear it out And that sounds like, wow, guys, trust me, it can be done. It's one of those things where that soft tissue again, kind of like the fish, when you hook him wrong and you try to get the hook out and you just know, oh man, I tore part of it. I got to let it go. That's the street fighting old razzling move called a fish hook. In this case it's a real and serious one. If applied proper and with enough determination you can tear flesh. This is a kind of a wound that you're going to have to go for medical support for. If you have a blade, if you had a small blade, use the weapon. You can use it in the pull back mode where it's like you put your palm down, the top of your hand up and make a fist. Put the blade where the thumb and index finger is and you would pull back naturally. However, one of the things about thrusting is in reverse order, put the blade between the little finger and the base palm of your hand. When you come up on a target like that and you pull it and you are working them, the idea is that you swing the hand around, rake it back across the face, try to aim for that natural groove that's available, you know, the mouth. When you rip that through, you've torn a whole bunch of nerve and muscle tissue that's just not going to in any way, shape or form allow for the operator to proceed. That one action and this action with this man and wife probably could have saved his life. But remember again, you have to already have the idea if they've come forward with hammers or something like that, they're planning on killing you. They may try to be quiet because there's no gunshots. All their gunshot monitoring technology isn't going to do any good. Watching it on camera isn't going to save your life in the seconds it's going to take for them to murder you. Just kind of soft, squishy. Yeah, at first you'll hear it, then after a while you won't. But the problem is if you go down, well, your wife's next in line. So this is why you have to be making decisions in advance. Again, the first rule, if you're going to have to wade into something, create a casualty right off the map. Now if you're really fortunate and had hammers, that first tomahawk becomes yours. It's all a matter of decisiveness. If you're coming from behind to an opponent, step to his left or right. As you pass him, with the hand nearest him, you reach around to the side of his face. You introduce the last knuckle on your middle finger into his ocular orb. You're displacing his eye as you walk by and you literally rotate his head like until he's looking backwards while you're moving past him. You might be taking his hammer out of the other hand as he falls to the ground doing his best imitation of a stack of potatoes. The thing is that first strike because if you have a pack giving it a hard bloody nose right from the get go it's going to be painful, there's going to be noise, there's going to be screaming. Homey Fry, I don't care who the hell it is. Thugalicious. Pick the target you know you can take down. If you've got a 300 pound Lumox, 300 pound, 400 pound Lumox. Remember, just dead weight can come at you. Go after the target you know you can hurt because that target is least likely to get away and it's changed the formula. If you can strike him from behind, that's your first target. Yeah, whatever. If it's a big one and you've got something good enough to do some major damage, hey, take the Walrus down first if you can. We're talking strategic here, not tactical. Yeah. That is the idea that if one of the bigger targets has gone down and Beck comes down to it now if you're better armed with a firearm. Then, yeah, now you've got to pay attention. Usually, like I said, that tag-along nutcase, the old wild-eyed crazy critter that usually gets everybody into trouble, it'll be stupid enough to come at you. So you have to pay attention for a slinky Pete. But the primary or bigger is usually the lunker is the one they're counting on to be like the bludgeon that gets the job done and you're just along for the ride. So, there again, depending on what weapon systems you have, priority is, again, look at immobilizing. Everybody always goes center of mass. I will repeat again. He may be 300 pounds, but without one leg, he's 300 pounds looking like a pogo stick, or he's 300 pounds on the ground looking like curly. Remember when you do that dance around on the ground in a circle? You know, with the one leg. Think about it. So, again, this is where you get into selection when you're looking to more target conflict. And that includes, again, target selection with small arms. What are we looking to do? Well, again, with that 300, 400-pounder, you know, one thing to remember, and this is true of men I've seen, I know guys that are that big that are marksmen, and they're like gun platforms. They don't do anything else much other than load ammo and shoot and other things like that. and when they're in the prone position, almost all their bodies making contact. It's like a walrus shooting. Well, you see that's the whole point. Remember, that's a lot of mass that can take energy and distribute it over that surface or area. So again, what you're looking at is what keeps it up. A man cannot fight if he has no hands. A assailant cannot continue to approach if it has no legs. If it, no matter what it is, has no legs. Everybody goes, Mark, what am I? I'm going to take his head off. That sounds good, but that's a bob and weave thing. One thing about the bigger the target is, the more stable it has to be to continue to move. And it won't be as fast. It's going to be stable and center. It's one of the few areas where the hips and the legs, the upper legs, is the most central and will have to be the most consistent point of impact with very little motion. And the way to do this way to explain this is watch a runner. Watch a runner. If you're slow mows, you'll watch whole track events. And the cool thing is they show you the front, the side, or whatever. Watch the front. What is it that keeps that target on center? You remember there are only two points of contact and everything else is trying to streamline your body. You're trying to keep everything tucked in and minimize resistance. Bicyclists are in the same boat. But if you bump that wheel, so where's the center of gravity? What is it and what disrupts that center of gravity? That's another reason like I said if you're coming up on a target think the leg only to give you advantage when you when you're a demolition expert if you're working demolitions you try to get the object to assist you in the destruction of themselves. If it's a train, you do a bridge. Not because it's cool for the movies, it's because with a minimal amount of energy, if you only have a certain amount of energy, the bridge contributes to the destructive process or the kinetic energy process. The train in motion, not to mention that's that much more wreckage they have to move if they want to rebuild in that site. So it has complementary effects. It's the same with many other aspects of what we're looking at. The same is true with close-order weapons contact. The other thing to remember is to actually have weapons on hand. In fact, I'll tell you one that's good that they can't say anything about, although it's a personal choice, there is a tennis racket. and you can get tennis rackets for nothing at the sports resale shops and if you look out back you can probably get them for free. But Mark they might break. Keep beating them. Now the edges are sharp. Yeah exactly. First it broke when you slapped him enough because you're going to slap him with the side of the racket. But a lot of these rackets, guys they are built like a brick doghouse. But if they do break, if it's an old wooden one, just exactly what Don said, wow it's nice to have a pitchfork. Yeah. You know. If you're a taxpayer, if you're a citizen, and especially if you're white. If you try to defend yourself in the situation they're developing right now, you will always be the criminal no matter how many of them there are. You shouldn't have had that kind of strategy with you. You should have let them beat you to death or murder you. So if you actually come out where you survive it and maybe you put two or three of them down, well that's especially bad for the professional cop gangs who are trying to be professional with the street gangs. Hey, that tennis racket, you know how you hit it? A ball in the net. Turn it sideways. The strike across the bridge of the nose. The strike across the Adam's apple. Oh boy, I wouldn't want to bear either one of those. I would much rather be the hammer than the nail in that situation. And there's again sports items or something where there's a lot of resilient stuff out there that can really take a beating. Hockey sticks are fantastic. Hockey sticks are designed to take impacts at full velocity where guys have muscles and they have armor and they still can go to town on each other with sticks or at least accidentally, oh I missed it hit you anyway. They're meant to hit things really high. Yeah. So they especially the new fibrous ones, they're fiberglass reinforced. Every kind of metal you can imagine is durable. If I was carrying a hockey stick, they might see me as not so much a victim. Yeah, a hockey player. Oh my God, it's as bad as a martial artist. They've been forbidding all the way. You guys, you've seen the key chains that are shaped like an O, like an H without a top. It's a key chain with a bar, and on one end of the main bar your keys will hang. Off of that bar are two protrusions. When you hold your keys and that bar in your hand, the two protrusions come through two of your fingers. They become sharp objects that you strike like a punch and drag flesh away from the arm as it moves across, from the cheek as it moves across. I'm certain if you were to strike someone in the eye with this device aforementioned, they would go into shock. That's really mean, but the person that's trying to harm you and yours has mean in him when he saw you. He had mean in him when he woke up that morning, and I use those words in particular because someone said, that policeman woke up that morning thinking about shooting my boy. But again, when the cook wakes up in the morning thinking, who's going to feed my habit today? Well, he's got meaning in him from the get-go, don't he? And if he's on you and yours, anything that you can do is justified. We did start this hour with that self-defense is a right from God, didn't we? So again, you guys, anything. Think of the tips of your fingers instead of a punch. Think of a punch delivered fast enough to get there, but just the tips of your fingers moving toward your opponent and two fingers going on each side of the bridge of his nose, moving forward. If that hurts, think of turning your fingers back until your fingertips are almost touching the edge of your palm there, and think of the same strike. Women can use this strike very effectively. Men can use with practice a finger strike and spearhand the eyes. Women can do it too, but if you learn to fold your fingers back, and spread them. Those two knuckles that are any, you might be your index finger and your ring finger. It might be your ring finger and your little finger, the finger next to it, that go across the bridge of the nose and strike the eyes like a punch, but strike the eyes, literally the eyes, not like a punch around the eye where you break open their skin and you strike your bones against their bones. This attack, you're striking your fingertips against their eyeballs. If that's done successfully, he's out of the fight for probably 20 minutes, maybe for a few days. Maybe he'll never want to fight anybody ever again. This goes over to, martial artists know one of the basic moves, and we've referred to this. You're standing there with your arms crossed. Here comes somebody who takes a swing at you. One arm can go up and one arm can go down and you've covered your face and you've covered your body all the way down to your junk. I'd use that word. All the way down to things that you don't want to get kicked or punched. But if that same motion is moved up in front of you and intercepts a punch, while you're moving, as example, that punch might, let's do it like this, that punch comes in and at the extension, the palm is down. Granted, the palm is covered up in the punch, but imagine the palm down at the end of the punch. If I strike the thumb side of that fist right back of the wrist, immediately behind the wrist toward the elbow, If I'm striking on that side, the energy is going that way, right? Now imagine, stick your hand out, your left, stick your right hand out. Most people are going to punch me with their right hand because they're right handed. That's their first punch. If I strike that, the base of that thumb right at the wrist, I want to strike that bone. I don't want to strike the hand because the hand will fold and absorb good portion of what I want to do. I want to strike that wrist going to my left. My opponent's left, going to my left. I want to strike his elbow going to my right. Many street fighters who have experienced that counter never want to fight anybody ever again. Many professional fighters who have suffered that in a boxing ring or in a martial arts ring who have suffered that take a good long time to come back to a fight. Basically what you're doing is hyper extending their elbow. If you do it really hard, you make it look like you're working a Kentucky Fried Chicken and you've just taken that chicken leg from that thick chicken thigh. You know what I mean? So again, you guys, ruthless is something that shouldn't be in your vocabulary if you're meant to defend yourself because the cook is bringing ruthlessness to you. You are simply performing defense as necessary to meet and to neutralize the threat before you. Yes. They are bringing the threat. You are going to bring the solution to get rid of the problem. This means all bets, all rules are off. Right. There is no referee saying, you poked him in the eye. You know that Larry guy, I can't remember his last name, won 49 fights. I am really glad that one guy put it in. He didn't win more than that Marciano fellow. Because he won most of his fights. If he got in a bad way, he'd stick his thumb in somebody's face. Larry, I can't remember his name, Holmes. He was a fummer. And if you look at history, this is borne out in film. This isn't an accusation. And I'm really glad he didn't break that Marciano's record of 50 fights. I'm really glad. Don, I want to bring something up here real quick because this is an ongoing story for everybody out there. Apparently in Pennsylvania, again, DA 6 dead in Montgomery County shooting terrible way to probably, in Montgomery County. Montgomery County, again listen to this because this is what I told you so, what do you do if all of a sudden they just decide they're going to get up their arse, that they just want to go randomly house to house and they just going to come up with an excuse out of their arse. Prosecutors said police We're searching locations in and around the town where a stone may have been located. Loud noises were heard from near a house on Main Street as police called to the suspect. You're under arrest and come out with your hands up. Okay, problem with that. This guy has not been caught. And by the way, who they were yapping at wasn't the suspect. SWAT teams descended in Pennsburg after police responded to shootings in Landdale, Lower Salford Township, and Sutterton beginning before 4.30am. The search for the shooter ultimately led to a standoff. Sutterton's West Penn Street, which ended shortly before noon after what sounded like a concussion grenade went off and an unidentified male, evidently seriously wounded, was removed from the home and taken by ambulance to a waiting medical helicopter. Tella Meckin, Township Police Chief Tim Dickinson said the person was not the suspected gunman and SWAT teams had moved out to another location in Pennsburg. Okay, now what's wrong with that explanation right there? So in other words, this wasn't the shooter, but they went to fire up somebody or they got in somebody's face and that person obviously, well, no you're not. And so needless to say they fabricated, you know, they got in their little pumped up, roided up way. And you know, any number of different people they probably peed in the face of, but something happened here where, oh, it turns out that for all of their focus, while they were busy playing the usual Polish firing squad, well, we're going to throw more force on there and more force on it really. And so it was completely the wrong location, wasn't it, fools? Wow, but because of that here's something to think about because and I've warned you all about guys be prepared You don't know who's gonna join in a fight and because of that if you just take a defeatist mode Remember that in survival escape and evasion. This is probably the best example of what I've said for years Somebody else gets they they get pissed in somebody else's face and somebody pisses back or at the very least They don't know for sure or they decide to play in their mind that I don't care This is a great excuse to do it. Anyway, yeah, we'll get him too Well, the problem with that is meanwhile the person that they're actually looking for is unarsing the AO. Like we've said for years, okay, so they piss around with somebody as a taxpayer and you got every donut muncher in the area focused in a Polish firing squad situation wherever. Well, what's happening around the rest of the community while that's going on? Well, this is an example and an inversion in that. We got this guy over there, we got this guy over here. Oh, why'd you hear this guy? It must be him, it's the guy. He said the guy. No, he said a guy. No, he said the guy. Just step on the gas, run that red light, run him through that, people. There's a pedestrian. I don't know, he deserved to get hit. We gotta get there, we gotta get there, we gotta get there. You see what I mean? But because of that, here's the car with the actual shooter, whoever, going the other way. And he just drives by him. Why? Because the radio has created in their mind the focal point of all their energy and anything could be, they could be driving by a bank robbery and they will totally ignore it guys. Think about it. Just something to consider when you're looking at stories like, it's not just stories, there's more reporting on this Don. This is ongoing so pay attention, heads up. We don't know what the real story is but there's never people been shot. Child Perverted Services is involved in it was a custody thing so I wonder who he might have shot. Well a lot of people when they're finally get tired of these people go shoot the Child Perverted Services people in this march. But again personal choice there. Anyway Don your number for night vision you'll be available in just a minute. Hey that number is two three one seven nine six eight four five eight. Very good. God bless the Republic. Test of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Stay focused, guys. Clock's ticking down and we got Christmas just around the corner. Remember, the drawings donate to Liberty Tree Radio. Ten dollars in the kitty, get you five names in the hat. We've got all kinds of good prizes. A couple more that have been donated. Some others have been picked out and are now in this particular cycle. Uh, Don, you're number for night vision closes, please. Debt number is 231-796-8458. Green screen, second generation. God knows gun sight, thermal. Give me a call, 231-796-8458. Thank you Mark, God bless you. God bless America. It's a tall special treat or she bakes them up and sometimes get myself to stop Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep and she'll take the ones that I didn't eat and put those little sprinkly things on top Christmas cookies sugar cookies bane look like Santa Claus Christmas trees and bells and stars Christmas cookies bane Now those sprinkly things just make things worse, cause it makes them taste better than they did at first, and they're absolutely impossible to resist. Some disappear to who knows where, but I make sure that I get my share, and those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss. Christmas cookies sugar, sure didn't like those Christmas cookies babe. She gets mad at they're all gone, icing put on. Christmas cookies baby. Now there's a benefit to all of this that you might have overlooked or missed. So now let me tell you the best part of it all. Every time she sticks another batch in the oven there's 15 minutes for some kissing and a hugging. That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long. Cookies sugar, Christmas cookies baby, Christmas cookies baby, Christmas cookies baby.
