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 is 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 won't be blamed. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines occupied territories west southwest east and North ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on Liberty tree radio dot 4 mg comm indiana freedom talk radio calm running with a micro station cb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd to 5th and our friends in the recall state of Toronto waving to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson. We turn back to the east, sweep over the plains, leap over the Mississippi and land frolicking in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, Grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium of Cleveland, Ohio. Bring us the Golden Spike. And for all of our friends out there, it's going to be a busy, busy, busy week as we know. It's Monday. It is the...no way...yes, it is the 22nd of December. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K-2014 Old Earth calendar. Or, Mayan. Crazy Town Crazy Town Crazy Town Calendar! That's right, over 3,000 made. Hundreds and hundreds, probably, every year. New ones! More with greater disaster so far out. Nobody could prove it, but everybody was selling DOOM calendars. It's like the BS today. You know, in 2022. Used to be it was 2011, 2014. The world was gonna wink out. We were all gonna die. Now the latest one, of course. Boy, the CG just gets piled up more and more. You only wanna be around for the real thing. It's not gonna be as exciting as the CG, you know, San Andreas Fault earthquake. It's just not gonna be as exciting. There won't be in all the color, it will be color, but it won't be that defined CG color that makes it so much more dynamic. Reality is actually a lot more fun anyway, but with disaster it's like trying to avoid. How about we are away from the San Andreas Fault? I can't do that, I've got money torn up in it. I wonder if they're trying to get everybody off of that the rest of the way so the Chinese can take it over too. What do you think? That particular piece of real estate? A lot of farmland and prairie land out there. A lot of cattle run there. Yeah, communist Chinese probably want to push everybody off the rest of it and save us from ourselves while they're busy occupying it and replacing the Americans that are there. What do you think? Yeah, most likely. Well anyway, a couple of things real quick. By the way, we've got the drawing coming up after the first. And so that's a couple weeks out. Wade's looking right now, guys. and the station slash network t-shirt that was put together by Henry and has been signed by all the different broadcasters of the network. Well, it's right there ready to go. So guys, for everybody, if you want to take a look at it, check it out. It's up there on the page. I put it in a frame. Actually, if you got somebody knows what they're doing, you're going to make a cutout. so that you can, you know, like a t-shirt cutout and then you put that in a frame. You know, it's really cool. You can make it 3D so you know, so you can arc the shoulders a little bit, pulling yards and kind of steps out away from the wall. It's really cool. Anyway, that's part of the drawing. We also have of course the undercover utility pistol bag, which is really neat. It's got the velcro pull down with the built-in holster. A bunch of other cool stuff like that that's going to be part of the next drawing. Certainly some more folding knives. We also have some pistol socks. Oh, let's see, there were two or three other items that are in the Box I've got to take a look Nancy picked up some more stuff came in for the mail today So we've got those the packages that were sent want to say. Thank you. We're friends out in Nebraska Nebraska we got the package Nebraska we got the package and thank you. We appreciate that from the gun shops out there Another donation little donations, you know stuff. That's fine guys It's fantastic because we can offer more things as gifts for donations that way So, again, go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. $10, get your name in the hat five times. And, again, if you want to donate more, you can go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the donate key, go to donate any amount, and then Attach accordingly. Let's see your mailing address for wherever you want the stuff sent. It doesn't have to be your mailing address. It can be for whoever you want it to go to or whatever location you want it to go to. That's not a problem. And make note that it's for the drawings. So make sure we get your names in and done early. Ed's got to snip all those, print all those out, snip them all up. And then put them in the bucket, which is how it works. Another cool thing is you can, well, we've got enough time. You can send a donation through the mail. One of our friends that did that won a couple of items. Gee, again, which is cool. Mr. B, your stuff is all packed up and outbound, so pay attention to your mailbox because it's on the way, Mr. B. And again, you can send your donation, make a check of money, or you're out to Nancy, last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E, or you can send cash as a donation for it to get into the... drawing then uh... send it to pb and that patriot broadcasting network pb and p o box one nine four dexter michigan four eight one three zero pb and p o box one nine four dexter michigan four eight one three zero and that pb and p o box one nine four Dexter, Michigan 48130. Let's check and see if Don came in. We have Don there. If I don't hear him right away, I've got to fill in the space. There we go. Don's not with us yet. Again, for all of our friends out there, too, remember we have sponsors. Go to libertytoryouradio.4mg.com and peruse what's available through our friends and allies that have stepped forward, people who are supporting the network. If you can, also give a call. I believe, oh you know the whole thing is, they might just, they've just closed up a few minutes ago, we started the top of the hour. So Monday through Friday, 4 to 8 p.m. Standard Time, they're located at 105 West Main Street, Deschler, Ohio. 43516, their phone number is 419-277-0377, that's 419-277-0377. Go to their webpage, check out their products, and again, Call them up. Do business with them. They're helping out the Patriot Movement. They're helping out Liberty Tree Radio. How about you take care of them in the process too? We're dealing with friends rather than strangers. Also, again a reminder, it is Christmas time and you might still be trying to figure out what to pick up. Well, you've got, you know, Freedom's Guardian and other locations where there's bulk ammo, whatever you're going to do. Hey, bigger is better and everybody should be going when they have to lift up those packages without hurting them. And taking them out to the car when they're done. So Christmas should be heavy. Ammo, ammo, ammo, ammo. And, by the way, magazines and weapons, more ammo, and tools. That should be it. Nothing else. Useful material support to keep everybody operational. That's what we need to be looking at. More is better. More gooder, as they say. Now, another thing about the technology, especially with regard to the tools, multi-tools, stuff that doesn't have to be a Gerber multi-tool. I'm talking about like going to tractor supply. Yes, I know it's a China Sport. We need tool kits for every vehicle you got in the fleet. Whatever you got, you should have a tool kit in the back to match up for it. The way to make it possible with smaller cars is pick multi-tool, stuff that does more than one function and allows you to carry more but in less space. example tractor supply has an excellent set of ratchets right now that have small, medium and large drives. The first one has the quarter to the 3 eighths, the other one has the 3 eighths to the half inch and guess what? They're at a great price. And they're even in camouflage. In fact, they have camouflage rinse sets at tractor supply right now. Metric and SAE. So take the time. Grab them, pick them up, and make them Christmas gifts. Oh look, it's camouflage, I keep losing my wrenches. Just drop them through the motor compartment. Yeah, it's tactical. Never find them down there. Well, if it was camouflage down there, wouldn't that be like greasy oil pattern? Wouldn't greasy oil paint would be them any better choice like you know a partial nut or a bolt that can be seen You know on the print and then you know like a splotch oil and a couple weird angles like you're you know looking at the manifold and You know the block or whatever. It'd be kind of cool. That's camouflaging an engine compartment Never find the tools until you turn the engine over. Oh man. Oh, it's a mess on the inside Yeah, but I found all my wrenches one right in the radiator That was an easy one to find. Justine led me right to it. Is that special sound that you always recognize? No. Well anyway, we got down with us here. Couple other things real quick because we are headed towards the Christmas holiday, guys. Everybody goes, well I can't go and order stuff from far away. No, but you can go to Cabela's or any of these other sites and find cool stuff that's laying around that like cases of shotgun shells. Oh, you know another thing that would be good for Christmas, if you have somebody who's been asking for one or somebody who's been looking into this direction, a reloader and a whole bunch of primers would be really good for Christmas. And not to mention some powder and projectiles, because you know all you have left after you pull the trigger is your gun in the brass. You've got to do something with it when you're done. And we're not going to leave it laying out in the desert or leaving it lay around. We're going to pick everything up because we're going to be disciplined to that. On that note, take the time and watch what's going on in the Ukraine by going to YouTube, Punching Militia. There is a lot of really useful technology available out there and you're going to be running into it. and if you get a chance uh... take a look at how things work and how things operate is definitely worth the time you're getting rather you know you can learn from videos actually that's what they try to avoid in hollywood they don't offer real information instead what we're looking at is a situation where uh... yeah well uh... well uh... uh... yeah ham hall as it is uh... We're looking at a real-time situation we're going to have to be dealing with here and because of that resources, technology, everything needs to be in hand. We build ARs for Santa. Oh, cool. I love this sign. Somebody just sent that. It's out on Facebook right now. Somebody just sent it to me as an email. We build ARs for Santa. Let's see. Oh, I see. It's something on one of the other pages. That's kind of cool. Santa Claus with an AR. Well, he might be using an AR, but he's up on the North Pole. The AK might be a lot more useful for his purposes, wouldn't you say? Extremely. Oh, you can see a lot farther than it, too. Yeah. Sorry, guys. There ain't a whole lot of trees to hide behind. But them polar bears, they play Scatterdodge. Yeah, and they're armed and they shoot back. Yeah, and you want a bigger bore when you have to knock one down. Shoot it with a squirrel shooter. It says, you just did what? I'm hungrier now. I have to heal up. Do you know that when now this is something I do have at the survival guys, if you have the right year for survival manuals military survival, you know, these rivals keep an evasion Arctic operations There is a whole section there on since we've changed from the 308 rifle to the 223 It is recommended that if you encounter a bear you switch to full auto and just dump the whole magazine And there's this picture of how to do it. In other words, it shows this picture of the bears going, ahhhh, you know, with his paws up and his back standing up. And in the foreground is this guy standing there with the, and this is a serious image, but it's the guy standing there with a chipmunk rifle, you know, with the barrel pointed up towards whatever and getting ready to dump the magazine, or dumping the magazine, this little flare at the end of the barrel, you know, like a flash, like, you know, from a cartoon. And it's just the idea of like yeah, in other words you probably still would have to use a lot of rounds of the 308 but not quite as many and Depending upon your panic fire since everybody's trained to fire at center of mass That 223 round center of mass with the bear is not quite the same thing as dealing with a 90 pound Vietnamese person You'll just never reach out and touch it. Yeah, so it's just you might as well. I do agree It's like an aliens movie. It's like oh, I just keep dumping mags. I mean it would be like Just why not? I mean, you've got nothing to lose. And you might just chew a hole through the bear if you dump enough rounstown range. point blank range, you won't have much time to do that though. Which is what they always show the picture of the bear being like, as muzzle range. Even with such a high cyclic rate. Yeah. Now in some moment here, the bear is going to do what he does naturally and sweep the area with those big long claws. It's a thing he does. It's just what bears do. He's born to it. Yeah. Plus, though the kicker would be if you're on your own, it's a survival situation is the bear falls on you. Oh no. You actually do damage and hurt the bear bad enough that he actually dies on you but it takes time and he falls over you and collapses on you. 1437 pounds of left bear. He's still breathing a little bit, so when he breathes, you squish. He breathes and you squish. He doesn't breathe as much. Try to synchronize your breathing with the bear's breathing so you can get a third of a breath. It's like an anaconda. Every time you breathe out, it's a little bit harder to breathe in. The one's a little warmer for a longer because it's kind of like in Star Wars. It's a hit and roll that bear fur. Yeah, all that bear fur will keep you busy and warm on one side, but not so much on the other. Yeah, so anyway, just idea there and it was a gallon fight Yeah, yeah Santa was an ar-10 maybe or Santa with a you know an ak and our SPD preferably So anyway, that's how it should be this year more is better. We need to well diversify. There's no Confusion, I don't know where I am. I don't know what I'm doing now. We know exactly what's going on now on that note Don you were gonna touch on night vision technology during the two-hour block and we got into a you know subject Guys, an update again for everybody. We are looking at the Christmas season. Maybe you're going to go out and find some green screen somewhere. Don, recommendations, what can we do? And we do have white screen. How can we adapt it to the mission? Go ahead. Well, you guys, have you ever seen the pictures of the World War I gas masks? To say that they were gas masks is a joke unto itself, because sometimes it was just a hood impregnated with a chemical that was supposed to neutralize the chlorine. and the mask itself and the chemical that this fabric was impregnated with was the filter. And the more you breathe through it, the more the chemical ran into your eyes. Well, the more you breathe in it, well, the more CO2 built up inside. So again, it was a joke compared to what a gas mask developed into. But all it was was a simple hood that tucked into the tube. That was World War I British, American, and German gas masks. Now the machine gunners had gunners had something like a dive helmet and they were equipped with oxygen cylinders so they could stay in the gas long. We've addressed this in a number of ways. That white light, you guys should bring it up to your gas, you bring it up to your, if you're wearing a gas mask and you bring up a piece of night vision, green or white, no matter what light comes out and you have two ports there that you look through, right? You're going to have to cover up one because well, even the green light would be a little bit of an attractor. beat up the white light a lot as of late. White light on a battlefield at night is not a tactically sound thing to just wave around even just for a second, three seconds a moment. It's not good. It tends to attract attention and then other things that might go past your ear real quick. Right now, you guys, my entry-level piece of real green screen is like $980. And I've said to you, if you're going to a gun store, if you walk into a gun store, you walk into a gun show and you see the first generation gun site that you want and it's green screen, buy it. Because, well, in the entry level, it's going to be white light coming out of it. And we've talked about this. And I've got a piece of viewer that is the digital. That's a highly technical term. We could say innards and be a little more, you know. little more up in the scale. But it uses the device, basically in the internal portions of the device, are a DVD camera, portions thereof. Now the manufacturer says they're moving a gun sight right now. It goes for almost $800. You can touch a button and change the light that comes out of it to green. You can touch a button and the light that comes out of it is black and white like... you know, a black and white television, that same button in the daylight, you'll have color, just like your natural eye, you know, reds and blues and whatnot. But I did mention that, well, they want almost $800 for that. That's getting into the territory of second generation real green screen. About the white light, the discipline, you know, even a piece of thermal emits a black, a white light. It's a black and white image you're looking at. So if you use a piece of thermal and you've had one of your buddies standing around and he is observant and so talkative, He's going to say, well, Frank, hey, look, Ralph, give me that for a minute. Let me show you what's going on here. And as he brings it up to his face and holds it there, and he says to you, do you see that light on my face? Yeah. Well, you need to hold your hand in such a way that you try to conceal as much of that as possible, OK? Now, that's the first route to disguising or concealing that white light. It can take 80%, it can take 90% of the visible white light away. But no matter how you try, you're going to have some leaking light. You can bring up your other hand, and now you've got both hands involved in what should be a one-hand operation. And try to conceal the other side or try to move it around in such a way that your palm is across your nose, and it's holding the other end of the vices there, and you're trying to hide that light. But you guys, if you get a dark piece of cloth. slightly bigger than the eyepiece itself and then you move the eyepiece through the piece of cloth and retain it there with a rubber band. When you, the device in your pocket, you roll the cloth up around. When you take it out, you flop that cloth over your head like that World War I gas mask. See, you wondered why I was talking about that? Like that World War I gas mask. You turn the device on, man, there's all kinds of white light on your face, but nobody can see it. That's a, that's a If you're not alone, if you're alone and you put that hood on, well you've kind of shortened up your immediate area sensibilities, haven't you? Your other eye has no input at all. But again, teens and well, call up the night vision guy, we need to look it over here and if not everybody in the universe is equipped with night vision, Frank comes over and just as he crawls up at the edge of the hill, you're telling him, When you get there, I want you to look to the left, see that tree, and I want you to go twice the distance from that tree. Look out there and tell me what you see. We think we saw, I think we saw some light there. Okay? The guy comes up, he puts the hood on, he brings up the vice, turns it on, and others might think of, advise you to do green bits of some of the entry-level viewers. You can adjust the, now when you adjust the brightness, you can adjust the brightness so much that you start to just, it overpowers the picture. It just takes away the pix, it takes away the pix, pixilation. You put a green cellophane, a green disk in there that isn't too thick. I would advise if you're looking in this direction, and I am too, something to fit the project for something that's glass. Plastic slows down light, doesn't let as much light through. That's the point. With the viewer, with, I mean Brighton, screen on that aforementioned gun sight, but there's no need to because you can touch a button and make it turn green. But again, we've touched on that. That's almost $800. And we can turn that white light green. That would basically be the solving of the problem. We've run a number of the flagpole in the manufacturer's arena. You can do this, you can do this. And it has to do even with something as simple as the color of the LED lights that light the screen or a switch, as Mark has pointed out. Sometimes you touch a switch and the color changes. But again, entry-level, what would be called first-generation as soon as the green screen has disappeared from the gun shows and the gun stores, entry-level night vision is going to be a white light, you guys. We've addressed this many times. And there are a couple of solutions. The hood one is the quickest one. It's kind of inconvenient. It is a tactically sound way. It's not going to be that much fun in the winter if you have a hat on. It's not going to be that much fun in the summer if it's hot. We're not here to have fun. In this instance, when we're going this way, we're going to do that, that's kind of like we're on a mission. Sometimes you do that, the intention is not to have fun. real quick on this note with remind everybody we're going to end up to the point where no matter what we're going to be pressing everything in service for you we're doing i r first we're doing old i r technology i'm not throwing any of that away we've got military infrared generation zero yeah it's going to be in service we're going to have to use everything now how we use it or how we employ it uh... is a matter of developing skill and common sense most of this is again Cutting time on the machine will be the center of all of our activities, but especially if we're having to use the white light technology. The first rule is we shut it down wherever possible. It's covered up, it's shut down. This is old, this is the way we used to run infrared. Part of that was because, remember, you had an illuminator you had to use unless you wanted to go passive. You let the other guy turn his illuminator on, and you scanned the battlefield for illuminators and shoot them. Right? That was the old policy. That's how you did it. The Russians used passive night vision. They didn't typically run an illuminator with their sniper scopes. When they were in IR they simply ran passive and watch for everybody else trying to use their illuminators to brighten up the battlefield Yep, and they were trained that well if the illuminator is moving consistently in this way Chances are there's a rifleman right underneath it right below that bouncing orb. That's what you shoot at okay now From our perspective, we can apply the white screen in particular ways. We're going to have to do that because it's going to become the dominant available technology. Pretty much other than used stuff, which again is going to pop up from these mercenary companies, it already has, with no warranty, no guarantee it's going to run for any longer than the time it took for you to get it in the mail and power it up for a week. We know that. We understand that. We're taking a risk. It's a throw of the dice if you're going to be grabbing surplus used if it's contractor used. Now if it's military surplus used, different story because usually the stuff that's in service, they bring it up to a certain standard. And there will be, again, more people that are proficient with working on it. Spare parts have been available. And they've even probably reconditioned it to go back out into the render revolution industry because of the interest in night vision for the last, you know, what, five decades now. Doesn't seem like it, but in reality, night vision goes all the way back to World War II. And that's how many years ago. And if I were to run into Red Screen, I'd be putting it into field, kids. I'm sorry, we're just going to not, not sorry, but we're going to have to do it. Now how we employ it and what we use it in terms of what application will vary depending upon the intensity of the battlefield and the priority of the area for contact. You might use it simply to get someone to run over there. Exactly. Yeah. Look at this. Oh, and or use this to move and then shut it down. There are a number of different ways it can be used to bring the bad guys in or give them high confidence that there's something worth messing with. And again, you have minimal cost on it, but you can get it into service. And it can be abandoned in place if it survives. It's used as a bait tool later. Again, if not, hey, we can fix it. We have broken fix it. If not, it becomes a prop. Imagery, again, for any number of different things. It's a prop even if it's being used for For instance, high probability or high confidence deception. There's illumination, I've got thermal signatures, though they're camouflaged, they're trying to. I've got radio traffic I can confirm. Yeah, let's waste some time on that over there. When in reality, the whole thing is a deception. That can be done, but it means everybody has to be using their mind. And that's especially true of what we're looking at with this idea of employing the other technologies. The white screen is still a step above the infrared in several categories and not so much in others. It's passive. It doesn't have to run up any illuminator just to simply produce an image. Generation zero did. Generation zero was like that. The tube wasn't powerful enough to work with the ambient light. They had to supplement it. We've talked a number of times about, well, how does an Abrams range with a laser? What are those big things on the front of the Russian tanks, those big discs? Now, with that in mind, can you understand that there's going to be lasers and illuminators and flares and things we've never seen before being deployed on a battlefield that will emit light or invisible light to the human eye? You know, hence the illuminator. Pick it right up with a piece of night vision. Once things get rolling up in a particular area, one might just move to a perch. Previously picked, if you know the land. Lay down. Splay a ray, the gun. Address the gun. Because you know that everything is hot in front of you you turn on the illuminator in a moment You know the definition of a moment 20 seconds if you turn on that illuminator hold it still for 20 seconds You're probably going to be drawing some fire you turn on the illuminator you select a target you take a shot you turn the illuminator off you move There is a way to deploy that and still have a pretty good What is that mark? See of s you know chance of survivability Which is really good. The greater, the higher your chance of survivability, the more you want to go back. Which is really good. Think about it for a while. But that illuminator, we've talked about taking shots with your handgun, with a pair of night vision goggles, or a monocular. The single tube just held up with your other hand. You bring the gun to bear. To the best of your ability, you might even be looking down the handgun with your night vision. Your target is in focus 70 yards away, 40 yards away. But you're looking across a blur of your hand and your gun because the night vision won't focus like your eye does. There's that whole process of look at the target, look at the blade, look at the notch, and then your brain starts doing it. Look at the blade, the notch, the blade, the notch, and then you take your shot. But you can't do that with a piece of night vision. If you focus on a target 40 yards away, your hand will not be in focus. But again, you're looking down the gun to the best of your ability. You point the gun at the target. You touch the pressure pad. The laser comes on. You take the shot. You correct for aim and then take the shot and let go of the pressure pad. It can happen much faster than it can be described with words. When a battlefield is rolling up like that just you know boiling roiling one could well imagine that If you again know a lay of the land this is key to making again increasing that chance of survivability Move to a particular place because you know things are hot right out there you turn on the illuminator in an instant in three seconds You've take you've selected a target and taken the shot Now sometimes you might have to wait longer. Here is a suggestion. You come to a point. You know things are happening in front of you. You turn on the illuminator. You don't see a target immediately. You study the area for four or six seconds. At the very most, you turn off the illuminator. And again, remember that study of the area. While you reflect on it, you might think, I thought I saw a target there. I think I saw a target there. I'm not certain. But the next time I turn the illuminator, the gun's going to be pointed at one or the other of those in case that is a target. And we caution it's much like a sniper taking the second shot from the same position. The next time you turn that illuminator on, it's going to be a lot thicker. Well, stuff coming your way. Because, you know, in a battlefield, other people are looking around too. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Am I wrong? If you have to deploy that div radar, that active night vision. If you have to deploy it, you're going to have to fall. I would encourage you. I would say this is imperative. You fall back to that basic one-shot-and-move, one-shot-and-move. But still we have that moment, that three seconds, that five seconds where you have to pick a target. the illuminator comes on and that's like hey here I am and you sweep the area you pick the target you take the shot now that might be real time right about in there but then again you know people even at night in battles they tend to hide behind things if it's at all possible rocks trees vehicles if I were to be that guy with that piece of passive And, you know, we think even today, and I want you to get away from this, and this is why I bring this up, and Mark, you'd say the same thing if this thought just jumped into your mind. We still, even today, look at, to a great extent, that engagement is a front, and that engagement is a line versus a line. Sometimes it will be that way. Sometimes it can't be, it's one of the basic arrays. Sometimes it will be that way. When things are that plane, the illuminator comes on, the target is shot, the illuminator goes off. Because you know where the target is going to be. The illuminator comes on, you take it, it's almost the illuminator comes on and the shot goes out. But you cannot count on that. You're going to see different arrangements at the front. Any private, any group of men who have worked together for a little while are going to know that They encounter another group that really really doesn't like them that might be you know of the mind to shoot at them You're not just going to array out in a line and stay there Why I posed the question What happens to an army with no legs and this comes right down to just the five men ten men squad rifle team? You have a couple of people to the front engaging what is expected to be the the element that you have You're returning fire. You're bringing fire to bear on something that you found Everybody doesn't do that unless you're about to be over overrun overwhelmed if you have a 10-man squad and you can keep that group busy with three or four of your shooters You've got six or seven other people to go around each flank and now mark you talk about that Polish firing squad no disrespect I shouldn't have said that, but you talk about that and it's done for effect. But if you flank one way and you don't know the size of the body, this can be, well, they just divert portions over there and tend to deal with the problem. If you flank on each side one at like a 90 degree angle and one like at a 45, The front, the original line is shooting directly into the enemy body. The 90 degree flank is shooting across their field, shooting directly into the enemy body. The 45 degree angle is shooting to the best of its ability, directly into the enemy body. But it's not shooting at the other group that is facing it, is it? Granted, now, if you look at it, there could be some fire from the L-shaped portion going back over to the 45 degree angle. This would be a worst-case scenario in the Arctic because we mentioned that people tend to hide behind rocks and trees and if those guys shooting are pretty good, their bullets aren't going to go real far anyway. Think about it. They'll be stopped, won't they? Particularly the bullets of the 223 variety. They'll come to a little squishy stop and that'll be the end of that. But again, this can't... This can't be reinforced enough. In an initial engagement, if you choose just to hunker down and call this the battlefield, your opponent, even if they are of a match to you for ability, they will move, they will flank you, they will defeat you if you do not do that to them for IOTU, Mark. The other thing to remember here is using the layers of deployment. One of the things that we can do is again use for flanks and center our most sophisticated technologies and then ride with the lesser technologies in the basically the mass with each of the progressive waves of either defense or in the offense. The idea behind this is that the flanks are properly secured and observed. The center is secured, which of course, especially at night operations, it is best to have a central pivot to work from. One of the reasons that the German, in fact the first times that the Germans deployed night vision technology, the majority of it being against the Russians, they were devastating. They were absolutely devastating. In fact, literally the Germans took the night away from the Russians for an extended period of time when it was first deployed. The Panther tank combined with the Stemgashut 3, along with the night vision technology, Uhu systems that were the owl systems of different types, they were integrated, along with the Honimag armored car, into mechanized strike units. The Russians were totally baffled initially because there was no doubt that they virtually could see in darkness. The bell formation. Look this up. You might be able to find references to it. Of course, modern history is piss poor now at best. But the bell formation for night operations, literally with what was like a bell-shaped curve on either side of the advance, Typically, using a road or a rail line or even a dry riverbed or, say, a roll in the terrain as the center or the pivot point for the formation so they can keep the structure going. This type of penetrating line destroyer, basically punch, effectively went over or steamrolled over everything in their path. It became a standard until the end of the war. The Russians captured a certain amount of equipment because at given points you would be making contact and have to break contact. The priority was because just like we are talking about discipline with year zero or with white light, the first rule was if anything is to be destroyed or if it is being left behind, it must be destroyed. So the Russians didn't catch up on the night vision technology until almost the end of the war. Better to destroy something utterly, you know, at whatever cost than for the enemy to get hold of such a critical weapon system. Have you ever seen the manual for a PVS-2 or a PVS-4, first and second generation night vision, respectively, fielded into Vietnam? In the manual, there are places, line drawings of the devices, and where to shoot them. You do not want them to be captured. Where? To shoot them. One straight down the tube of both devices. One into the side of each device into the power conversion areas. If you're about to be overrun, you destroy the device. You shoot the hell out of it. Well, you shoot the device. Save one last thing with a pen. Make sure that again, if you're going to make it a fragmentation device in more ways than one, but destroy it utterly. white phosphorus, any kind of willy peat or thermite, whatever they had on hand. That's good for any gun tubes. If you've got big guns, you guys don't want to burn over. You don't want them to get it. You don't even want them to get your sidearms. Literally, you don't. A phosphor grenade is good for that. It destroys guns. It destroys big guns. Just drop it down the tube and let it go. It keeps cutting and cutting until it can't cut no more. And now we're talking about right down to your own little piece of personalized scorched earth. Because you or me, if I'm shooting a piece of night vision because I don't want them bastards to get it, I bought it. You see what I mean? You or me and our own little piece of scorched earth. The interesting thing about this, again, the deployment of this type of technology in a vacuum was a significant change in the environment, the battlefield environment, guys. Your ability to switch from spray and pray to accuracy, which I've emphasized over and over again, the devastating effect of a single round properly placed over three to four or five mags consumed and wasted in the dark in one of your boys screens yes think about that the other option is and this is the other way they're there two directions to go either leave it dark and employ the technology that we've developed that we know if can are able to adapt and develop the other option is cascading firestorm in other words their logic was that we were going to keep it dark The other consideration is to literally light up the night. Even if it's only for a short, like in other words for 15 minutes, we're going to make this daylight. And it's never going to hesitate. It's never going to stop being daylight. This means cascading fires, massive amounts of tracer. Everything that can burn is to be put down range systematically. You have designated grenadiers, designated engineers. Their job is to make sure that the fireworks keep going off. And in doing this, that completely defeats the purpose behind a massive fourth generation deployment of technology. It serves no purpose except getting in the way. Now, at a given point, the lights go off and the world changes. So this is where your ability to know the timetable, you shut off the technology, you focus on the battlefield, changing the night today, and then when it goes off, contact break, and you switch back to the technology, but you don't try to match piece for piece your enemy. See, that's one of the things they're hoping is that, wait in a while, we've got the best and you've got the other. Well, again, since we know the limitations, although it may still be comparable, we're not going to join or engage in ways that create tit-for-tat casualty, you know, production. That's not our goal. Our goal is supremacy of the battlefield. That means choosing the time and place. That means sculpting the battlefield to our needs. that means moving that means moving it's right we again the idea dynamics uh... everybody's a grenadier and everybody again in a for a few moments you can completely command the battlefield with two hand grenades and two magazines if you've got a like i said big sample imagine and i i understand what were from a logistics and government doesn't want anybody think this way but also you don't want to because it would just be a devastating slaughter Every AR-15 flash hider is a grenade launcher. Every HK-91 flash hider is a grenade launcher. The spigot grenade launchers will go on your M14, your Grand, your M1 carbine, your 1903 Springfield. Guys, if you don't understand what I'm talking about, look at pictures from World War II, punch in rifle grenade. Go to Google, whatever search engine you want to use. videos even. Now ask yourself this. We've built so many of them that virtually everybody was able to carry one of those launchers. Can you imagine 120 men and each one with two rifle grenades? The concept here is not a new one. It's something the Russians employ with what they consider to be a cascading rolling thunder front of artillery. This is why right now in all these videos of the Ukraine, you see all this towed artillery and mobile artillery and mass everywhere. Both sides. The militia have towed artillery and they've got self-propelled. They've either pulled it from the guard units or on their side of the border or they have captured it from the other side. But they both know how to use it. It's because their philosophy has always been saturation, heavy, artillery, fire. When they went up and progressively developed through World War II, they reinforced the massed artillery. Initially they lost it left and right because of their fumblings, because of the commissars at the beginning of the war playing general and of course failing miserably. They lost massive amounts of guns to the point where the Germans were able to actually take whole fronts They were able to take the Russian artillery that was massed that they captured and turn it right around and put it on another front and use it for a whole other part of the war. Think about that. So imagine a rifle grenade. Imagine at night every man with two rifle grenades and here's the mission. The team leader, the company commander, whoever it is that's going to be the designate, all of a sudden he's going to pump a stream of .223 or .308 tracer into a target area. and all of you are going to launch one rifle grenade times 120 in a company. Do you know what that would look like at night? Psychologically, do you know? And here's the thing about it. There will be that POOF! flash from the muzzle end, but very little. Guys, I've used rifle grenades left and right. There's very little muzzle flash, you know, when properly deployed from the rifle end. There is no rocket stream. There is nothing to see. There is nothing to see. There is something coming at us. You only know about it when it impacts. By then, it is too late. It is already there. Now imagine 120. Let's say you have an objective and you just say, I want that. The commander says, that is going to be our psychological thump. Right there. See that really cool piece of equipment they all thought was so special? 120 rifle grenades. Everybody on my mark. Okay, there we go. He just painted up the target for you. Y'all got it? He might go five round bursts times a 30 round magazine and an AR-15. Every so many seconds, another five rounds, so y'all confirm your target. He's using a Gen 3 night vision device or a Gen 4 we've captured from the enemy. His mission? Identify the target. You follow his paint. See all that splashing going on at the point of impact? There's no doubt what he wanted you to shoot at. And by the way, it's high explosives. It's like grenades. You can be close. You don't have to be perfect. And by the way, somebody's probably trying to get away. Wouldn't you like to saturate the area and make sure nobody does? Yeah. Now, imagine 120 rifle grenades all at once. And plus, you probably can kick in with the 40 millimeter grenade launchers. Boom! Everybody got one of those? Anybody got a 203 they've captured from an enemy corpse? Maybe an M79? They're still hanging around in surplus. Or a German version, a Walther 40mm? Okay, well they're all kicking in too, so just imagine that. Imagine what that would be like. And by the way, here's another one. You know, and I'm pointing, this is where fireworks, you know, we can all buy fireworks over the counter now. Pretty much in all states, not everywhere, but pretty much it's pretty liberal right now. Won't be real quick. Let me ask you something Don you always like watching fireworks, right? Oh, yeah We've had a great time with that you ever notice those ones that go up and go And they they spread out a little bit of a golden line to them and then they go boom boom boom boom boom boom boom Yep, guys What if I were to take that tube and I just angle it about 40 degrees or so out towards the horizon and then I launch it in it goes Boom boom boom boom. What would that be like on the ground? Wow, that might have to be... You probably want to jump out of that hole if three or four of them things fell into you. It wouldn't be very friendly, would it Don? Oh no. Now let's consider how the scale of what we're looking at, remember those aren't little popcorn fart, you know, explosions. Those are pretty significant HE charges up there. And it would be... What is devastating if you had a home made no name brand, where you take a couple of short tube pieces of schedule 80 PVC pipe and then you mount your back rack inside that. When you launch one it goes... But what happens if it goes launch one, launch two, launch three, launch four, launch one, launch two, launch three, launch four? Hey, there's a third deck. And this is trailer mounted. So it can be towed around, or it can be manned portable. So you can drop it in place, light the fuse, walk away. And if they want to fire on it, it's too late. Nothing can do them any good. But you know what? Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Would you want to be on the receiving end of that little barrage? Oh, no. Now think about how that deals with some of your problems. You can either spread the wealth out over a broad front or you can crush utterly a target where everybody hears the screaming, the thrashing, the dying and that blunt force trauma sets the stage for how you're going to continue to fight that night. WHOMP! And every time it goes WHOMP! somebody on the other side doesn't just die, they die just absolutely. I mean it's like they just lights out. See, that's the kind of thing that you're supposed to think is going to have... Well, it works both ways, tit for tat. But it's a matter of thinking through, working, you know, again, with the tools you have. Rifle grenade launchers, recoil-less weapons, anti-tank weapons, everything else could join in this. Needless to say, you've got a number of different threats. So there's a couple of mean tricks. One of them that would really be fun is three-point contact, cascading fires, creating illumination constantly, and then... painting three specific targets and all fires go to target could be a truck could be an a p c if you got any take weapons each area each bob platoon has a certain amount of tank weapons and support weapons and night vision they focus on each of those particular to absolutely destroyed them to get a kill getting a kill especially with a with the brew up where the things going to be burning at night guys they provide the elimination for part of the battlefield You see how that works? Now your other generation stuff can kind of kick in without too much of a problem. You just don't stare at the fire, right Don? Right. Oh, that's really impressive. Wow, look at that bird. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Turn away, turn away, turn away. You got night vision. Turn away. Don't worry, you can see it without the night vision. They're not doing your device much good. Yeah, exactly. See, so there's where again, common sense in the amazement of the event, sometimes you can forget yourself and that's why discipline. This is the key word to all of the operations with weapon systems, but especially night vision and illumination technology. Discipline. Light, discipline, and found discipline. Anyway, we're going to some interesting times. 2015, if not, hey the 24th guys, is the UN Gunman. Now, whether or not they're going to try to get tied into it, well here it is the 22nd. They're running out of time on that. Bummer's going to have to have some incident that they've already been trying to stir the pot over, some kind of, you know, exacerbated expansion and contact, whatever it is. The individual little shootings and stuff, you know, the two cops got shot in New York. Guys, you better do a little history background on what happened in Detroit. You know, oh my god, these two cops got shot. Do you really have any idea what Detroit was like when it was called the murder capital of the world? So for me, it's like, really? Wow. Come to Detroit. Well, not anymore, now it's cornfield. What can I say? The war took its toll. I don't think we'll see that with New York. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know. But it'll still be pretty much the same game. This is nothing new. All of a sudden we're rediscovering stuff. Anyway, we're going to rediscover the other part of that. Organizing arming, equipping, and training as militia. Don, your number for night vision technology, you'll be available in just a minute. We are at the top, Ed. Hey, that number is 23179684. 58 goggles or gun sights, green screens or thermal 2317968458 Thank you Mark. Not much time to get it done kids Christmas is there, heavy Christmas, lots of presents, make sure it's arms and munitions and tools. Well, now, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on the run, but we are on the march, both day and tonight. We'll be back tomorrow, same time. Don, your number for night mission is to be available in just a minute. It is 231796-8458. God bless America. Here's the Christmas cookie song for you. 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. I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar. Sure do like those Christmas cookies babe. She gets mad at they're all gone, Before she gets icing put on, like those Christmas cookies, babe. 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. Like those Christmas cookies, babe. It looked like Santa Claus and stars took his bay Christmas took his bay
