Live 365 As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside 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 fleet? You go first. Oh, Indy, I don't think he has very much confidence in the situation. Yeah, well, there's snakes on the floor. I didn't have to be snakes. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Hornky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, Southwest, East, and North. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg dot com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and alternate 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 Texas Oklahoma big chunk of Nebraska whole bunch of Wyoming to include both third to fifth and our friends in the recall state of Colorado Waving to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the Mississippi, the big muddy, and landing on the Smokies, not far from Knob Creek, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million Peddicoat Junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. For all of our friends out there, it is, as we know, the tenth of April, it is the seventh year of open Fabian socialist Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K, 2015, Old Earth Calendar, or Mayan Crazy Town Calendar. That also means it's 2015, year of back hole. Now, let's see, and again, Cinco de Amo de, as you know, here it is Friday already, so if you haven't purchased ammunition, I guess we've provided you with some locations. You got one of Machar's, one of Machar's, one of Machar's, hmm, gun show and arm show at Tulsa, Oklahoma at the big Tulsa event site, and they're at the fairgrounds, so you can't really beat it, and as big as that is, Man, if you can't find it there, you probably aren't gonna find it, Scooby. Whoa, dudes. Don't take any Scooby snacks over there, but you know, you name it, it's probably on site. Hand cannons, real quick here on that note. Somebody was commenting about high points here the other day. Shame on you. I don't have high point pistol. I think everybody should have a dozen of them. One of the things about the high points is that again it is a fine light handgun that's been serving quite well but most important is takes a lot of abuse, you know, takes a lick and it keeps on ticking as they say and most righteously so. So I would highly recommend if you're looking for something to fill in let's say you're committed to 45s and you love your 1911s which most all of us do and All of a sudden it's like, but man, I need a 40 cal and I need a 9mm. And we would recommend that. In other words, if you don't know what kind of ammunition you're going to be capturing and the zombie pocket clips coming up here with regard to the black uniform zombies, and so with the zombie pocket clips coming up, having a 9mm and a 40 cal really handy, or vice versa, maybe you bought a bunch of 40 cal, I'm not saying to isolate the 40 cal gun, If you have 40 cal and you're already committed to them but you don't have any 45 or nines, well to have a few 45 cal and a few 9 mm around would be a good thing. High points offer an inexpensive solution, pretty reasonably priced. Magazines are average price, not too expensive, not too cheap, they're just about right. So you have the ability to actually put a couple of extra lifeboats on board for little or no money. And if you have to save up bottle caps to do it, so be it. I would point out too that remember both, well the three basic calibers, .45, .40 caliber and .90 millimeters as far as the autos go, are readily available out there in the market for the moment. So whichever runs out, consider this. If while you're in a purchasing cycle when things start to get out of hand again, it is cheaper and easier. to shift sideways in many cases and go, oh, well, everybody's jumping on the 223 bandwagon. I'm gonna go buy 760 by 39. Oh, wait a minute, a bunch of us did. And as we pointed out, a lot of companies are getting the inventories pretty well consumed. Amoman.com. Amoman.com. Amoman.com. They had one flavor of 7.62x39 left, you know, AK ammo. What's interesting is that it's not like you don't want to carry more. The problem has been getting more in good quantities. That's not an accident. So if you're committed to the 7.62x39, I highly recommend right now that that's something you start to double up on or triple upon with your purchases. If you are going in for Cinco de Amo Day, You see a price and it's reasonable. Whatever you can afford to spend is what you should spend on the ammunition this weekend. And continue to do so. That deep larder is why the bad guys haven't jumped yet because our reef for resources and inventory are virtually at our fingertips. And everybody has been intelligently training. So, hmm, syncodiamity as much as anything is just a statement against the enemy. As I've said many times, as far as us being ahead of the bad guys in terms of purchasing power, well, some of you might be behind the curve, I understand that, but for the most part you've got something. And with the ammunition issues continuing to deplete in certain areas, well, again, with the rifle ammo I would do the same thing, but do it in advance. I'm not excited about the 223AP rounds or whatever kind there are. That's a tempest and a teapot fake issue that the feds have made up purely for the sake of trying to pee on firearms and ammo owners. It's that simple. Now, when that happens and they try, I don't care what level it is or what tier it is or what state it is, that's going to kick off a war inside the United States. So just be ready for it. Don't be surprised. Don't be shocked and awed. I don't want to hear about any shock and awe nonsense. Instead, be prepared for the worst and you won't be disappointed. Now, we mentioned one of Ockers, that's this weekend, also Nob Creek Machine Gun Shoot, don't forget that, at www.NobCreekMachineGunShoot.com. I'm pretty sure, but I got double checked again. In fact, I was going to run that one together, Irons, because the actual site, there was another, it's not at the top of my head, today for whatever reason, I had too many other things that had been going on. Anyway, Nob Creek Machine Gun Shoot, one of mockers of course, and we've got the Colonial Marine National Militia meeting for the east coast, which is going to be on the edge of Kentucky. Well, it's going to be in the Nob Creek area, but it's west of Nob Creek. Just remind everybody of that. Definitely it's going to be worthwhile for all the people who can make it, and as you know, it's an invite situation anyway with Colonial Marines. Once that's done, then there'll be next weekend the Iowa meeting. Okay, before we go to the front, we have a caller just to be safe. Don't like to leave anybody out. Very good. Now, here we go. Now the next thing, oh yeah, we're almost, okay, we're gonna have a bottom of the hour break again, Ed, also. Please, let's remind everybody of that. One more thing here. Covered the Enfield, so we got that out of the way. The you of using the heavy caliber weapons, you know, with the heavy bullet light velocity, this works in any weapons formula out there that you want to play with, with regard to the size of the case. But I would remind everybody about using heavier bullets and of course downsizing powder charge, that there is diminishing return depending upon the size of the pellet with regard to destructive potential because it's the sheer weight moving through the target that gets the job done. So much velocity is weight. Now, the cool thing is, let's not forget that if you are going to be building a system of this type, if you're going to be building, for instance, quieted shotgun shells, quieted rifle or pistol, You don't just ratchet down to a certain level. Recommendation is you test five rounds. I know this is monotonous, but the answer to your powder scale is four, guys. Knock down by one half of a grain or one quarter of a grain. Your primary charges do five rounds for test, bench, bag, and shoot the things. To find out what the rounds are doing, if there's something leaking or bleeding that you need to know about, And what happens is you can literally bring the powder weights down, the scales down, to the point where you only have the muzzle flash of the weapon and minimal at that. Then you have the weapon, of course, with no sound. Don't need a silencer for this, guys. Unique, and several of the other powders that have been out there in the past are the best choice. A lot of other people have realized, wow, you mean you don't have to have any special permits or technology? No. You just have to know how to load your weapon, how to deal with the powder discharge. That supersonic, the ballistic crack, you're going to hear that supersonic crack. It's going to be minimized depending upon the system because by the very nature of what it is they're doing and how they're doing it. It's going to, of course, be noticeable if you have the ambition of trying to play Dirty Harry with all of your shotgun loads or rifle loads or pistol loads, but if you're looking for simply tack driving performance, then you can look at your charts and you can actually figure out why they do what they do because most of the different companies that post reloading charts, they have, you know, again, a number of different Specs up and down the chart by about a quarter or half a grain and this gives you the idea of you know how where you want to perhaps go to To get a particular end result in terms of firing performance So I would highly recommend you take a look at some of the other you know ideas of the bar you put put down on paper If you're looking at a small small gun actually, it's already been done with 22 We've mentioned something out there called CB cap if you were fired one Now consider that CB cap, basically a heavy bullet with a minimized powder charge, actually makes the CB cap about the length of a short 22. And yet, it's lethal enough, if the bullet's put in place, it will penetrate skull, muscle, bone, etc. And it will kill something where somebody dead, dead, dead. So, but Mark it's such a little impute, Ron it's so tiny it's like yeah, yeah well if the idea is putting the bullet where it belongs in the first place, all of the energy of a round like this is delivered against the target. Now just imagine rather than a 22 like say 45 or 50 grain bullet in lead, how about a 150 grain projectile or 200 grain or a 300 grain projectile loaded to standard specs. starting with a lower velocity load for that backyard shooting you might be wanting to do. It does not have to be the most powerful. Powerful doesn't count for anything if you don't hit it. See how that works? If you don't hit it. So I'm asking you to think, take the time, and if you're going to be engineering these rounds or this type of a load for whatever caliber, you can do this with 30 out of 6. You can go to a 220, 225 or 230 grain projectile, reduce the powder charge, and you're looking at comparable, not quite as big a freight train as that 500 grain spear down that 45-70 barrel. But you're going to be doing some major van damage when the time comes and you get to the other end of the delivery. So there's again the reason for why do they have all these numbers and why does the number chart go down to this ridiculous level and up to that ridiculous level? Well, because there are ridiculous things people do with the guns, that's why. And what they do with the reloading charts to begin with. So let's not forget that we were not worried about getting in trouble. This was the other thing, you know, John, yeah, forgive me, Joe was talking about this morning and discussing about militias. And it's the idea guys that you know when somebody says we're gonna build machine guns and we need you know when nuclear devices and you know we got to attack there's why they're gonna be coming out you don't need to go looking for them. When the time comes what you strip off the enemy dead will give you better munitions reliable munitions granted it'll be lowest bidder contract junk but making up the difference in your supply and support unique technology you simply take it from the enemy because it already works. Okay, now that's number one most important when it comes to specialized otherwise I don't need a silencer I can quiet up the ammunition by knowing how to reload and I can tack drive and put one bullet after another at 50 yards right on the Target that's century removal guys So sent a removal load. Okay, go ahead caller. Hey Mark. Don't you call that supply pods? Oh repeat. I'll call that supply pods. Don't you? resupply pod harvesting. Yeah. Yeah, look there's one there Now there was one there, you know, do you know who I am? Well, I know who you were man And the fact of the matter is that in reality now, you know call like I was saying with the 4570 loads ratcheting back with unique Using a 500 grain bullet my 4570 trapdoor Made less sound than the CB cap a CCI. It was a COC CB cap in a single shot Winchester that was right next to me And it was like, and then the 45-70 was, and then the CV cap was, and then the 45-70 was, so there's the difference guys, that's all you heard. And the farther away you were, the less of anything you heard. Now you can't load any weapon this way, you can drive your bullets back up and run your pressure by running your powder down. but you'll still get sufficient ballistics because of that increased bullet weight. And like we just said, we're hunting. We're not going to be fair. I'm not doing, you know, in this situation where I'm golfing, I'm on like what is hole number four, and this is our quiet mode. Remember, be very quiet. The golfer is focused. Oh yes, this is a tough shot. Well in this case it's just, hey everybody be quiet, stay focused, pay attention to the environment, arrest the weapon, fire on the target, and okay, did I hit what I was supposed to do? Yep, yes I did, very good. Okay. And practice, practice, practice with these unique rounds. I mean after all, consider this. If you use a cast bullet, your bullets are purely a matter of what your material is that you buy and cast the bullets from. But otherwise, your powder charge is half of what it'd normally be. You get to shoot twice as much with these specialized loads, which is something that nobody really has ever done in math. Of course, we joked about that. Well, that means it'll only cost you half as much to shoot as much as you presently do. Now, it means you'll shoot twice as much, because if you have the ammo there, you'll use it. So take the time do it right fix the stuff up squared away Know what its potential is and then pick what works best with that weapon that you're using Any of your intermediate battle rifles of any kind can be you can build a trash garbage support system for that purpose one of the companies here locally They're actually putting the bill to buy a whole bunch of either 400, 500 grain, well, 400, 450, or 500 grain. What is it, 44? Yeah, it's 44, is that what you're saying? Yeah. And they're doing 44 caliber projectiles for that purpose. But they're going, instead of 45, they're going 44. So they'll be doing this, you know, they'll be doing loading, like we were talking about earlier, 444 Marlin. They might even have a custom 40 caliber barrel hanging around. I don't know what they're going to be doing yet. As far as the research barrel goes, you can have any barrel you want made. So building up a single shot from scratch, it would be a gun that could take all of these solutions we're talking about. That would be very real. That would be a very real thing to do. Remember, take advantage of your environment. Anyway, we are, uh oh, let's double check to make sure Mark's wrong. And we're almost at the bottom of the hour break, I'm going to have a minute or two more. The other thing about these loads, I mentioned unique powder. I know unique powder has become tougher to get. Just looking today, I saw one tub of unique and it's going for twice the money that it did this time last year. In fact, I don't think there's been any unique and any good numbers for the last year and a half, two years, for whatever reason, they haven't caught up with production. either because they don't care to, they've been told not to, or they're busy with other work, which all these things are possible and even sell them at the same time. So don't get frustrated and start watching around for the old, new inventory. In other words, somebody goes to a gun show, you might have to buy one pound cans to get it all done, but you can find somebody who's selling one pound cans for a pretty reasonable price in certain valuable powders okay and uh... to deal with the uh... cleaning of the weapons which is not a big deal pay if the end of the uh... you're looking at uh... copper jacket spear horned bullets cleaning the weapons not to be a problem that was an ex question we have because i mentioned lead a little trek with lead bullets is step one cast lead step two take him over and copper plated like winchester used to it looks like a mock lubaloi but uh... copper jacketed or copper washed lead projectiles by reloaders are the norm not the exception. A lot of guys have been doing this now for 30 and 40 years. They pretty well got it down pat so you're not going to have a problem finding the components one way or another. If you cast your own bullet be prepared to clean the gun a little more often anyway because you want to make sure that the following is away from the action, away from the chamber, etc. Especially since in many cases if you do have following of any kind, you're looking at a weapon that is very unique. It may be a 45-70, could be a 50-70, could be a World War II Mauser model, or pre-World War I. Here we go. Pre-World War I, 11mm Mauser frame or chamber, but not the rifle itself. So that's expected, that happens. Now, With regard to cleaning again copper jacking job for good copper jack copper jack would be your first choice Copper coating would be your second Third is if you're gonna go lead increase the tin and antimony content This is going to change dramatically the formula with regard to the amount of lead you do leave behind because the softer or pure the lead is the more likely it's going to create letting clay color When you're 45-70, I believe that originally was a black powder cartridge. Yep. Oh yeah, originally was black powder, yep. Always, in fact, I will repeat again why, okay. More popular cartridges that everybody uses the nomenclature for, but we don't know necessarily think about what it means. 45-70, 30-30, 30-40, Craig. The first number is the caliber. The second number are the number of grains of black powder the case will hold at maximum. Understand that. Yeah, so what you've got is when you hear 30-30, the cartridge is old enough that it overlaps into the black powder era. The, in fact, 30, op-6, right? Well, 3,106. Think about it. I thought that was the year of manufacturing. That was the op-6. In reality, here's the thing, the cartridge is originally developed in 1903. Let me give you a little hint, it was actually developed in 1901. And the cartridge, as far as, well, consider the most popular rifle before the Garand was what US weapon? Insert. No, no, before the Garand was in service, what was it we carried into, for instance, Guadalcanal? 1903 Springfield, right? And the 1903 Springfield was chambered in what caliber? 30-06. See, so just a point. The reason, like the the the 06 cartridge, the 3030 are transition cases. And what it comes down to is generals who were fighting the other war 20 years earlier Originally, they were the majors fighting the other war before. Well, they came into being the generals fighting the next war. And because of that, they make the decisions. So how things went from that transition period into the advanced smokeless era, because that's what really they called it, the advanced smokeless era, their argument was when they developed these rounds like the 30-06, the seven millimeter Mauser, the eight millimeter Mauser. You know, it was argued that all other weapons would be obsolete. In fact, you know, I've talked about this on the air when they, when they developed the out six round, the many knowledgeable people said that because of high powered smokeless cartridges, you know, on the high powered rifle and because of the machine gun, that grenades and mortars would be rendered totally obsolete. Now that was just before 1914 by the end of 1918 More grenades and mortar rounds had been built than the entire history of mankind to that point for the entire history of black powder and Smokeless powder, so apparently that didn't work Obviously mortars and grenades were still kind of handy, you know, but that was the whole point is that they were developing these new rounds but the the nomenclature overlaps because of that transition era and people could relate to the numbers it was just that the old numbering system hadn't you know passed by yet. That's all. Okay. Another note unique powder not done shell take re-weigh it. Oh as far as you mean cannibalizing other shells? Yeah you can do that. Cannibalizing the 12 gauge shotgun shell and load it with something else. Yeah. Then reload the shotgun shell. Washers and pebbles and whatever else. What did you hit him with? I hit him with everything. This works well. I mean pennies works well. Yeah. Well copper is yeah and then now the new ones are copper you know zinc course that'd be pretty cool. You actually aren't quite as heavy and you're not gonna lose much but you're really you're what your actual cost is is count the number of pennies that tells you what your charge cost which would be kind of neat. Oh that's right we are. Okay thank you. Okay we are at the bottom and we should be taking the bottom of the hour break. Guys if you're at Knob Creek let everybody know how to get hold of Liberty Tree Radio and the Micro Effect dot com and Indiana Freedom Talk Radio. Remind everybody Patriot Broadcasting is staying the course. We have been continuing to do our part. Have you done yours? Also jog everybody's memory. Well I'll tell you before we get we'll jog and we'll be getting back from the break. You're tough enough to deal with. with the problem and we are of course in the last 12, 25 minutes or so of the second hour of the intel report. We were talking about modified loads. You don't have to have a silencer and they're terrified that you will know this. They really are. The system is terrified because no, you need to cut a shotgun shorter. No, you don't. You don't need a short shotgun. A 20 inch shotgun barrel will do just fine. Stick with the 20 factory. We come out of the box 20 inches, leave them 20 inches. Why? You know you can always shorten. Here's a little trick. You got a Mossberg 500, leave the gun with a 20 inch barrel, cut the buttstock down by... Now, don't go get a clunker. Here's the way to do this. Forgive me before I think I don't think you don't go cut a brand new stock. Go to the gun shows, look for the guy that has all the junky parts there, old parts and you know, misfit toys. Okay? If you're going to modify something, why are you taking a piece of walnut that looks pristine and brand new out of the factory box? When you can go over there to the junk box and find something for one, two, or three or four dollars rather than a $60 piece of walnut, and you cut it down. Now granted that stock might be walnut that's in there, but it's probably birch. Or you might find a plastic stock. Now, you guys are worried about shotguns being more manageable. You know, it's got to be shorter to, okay, well, cut the buttstock down by about two or three inches. Reapply a thin recoil pad and finish accordingly. Clean it up, straighten it up, you know, grind it up, sand it up, glue it up. Congratulations, paint it up or lacquer it up, whatever you're going to do. And you've got a short shotgun. Wow! But you've got a 20 inch barrel. Well, that really messes with their brains. And again, just enough of a stock so that you can put it to your shoulder when the time comes if need be. And you get sight line, you know, positive. And you get good shoulder weld for control. Hitting is what counts. Misses are failures, okay? Next, silenced weapons. Well, we've been covering that. You don't need to silence a weapon if you know how to load the ammunition. And by the way, you may have to go with something other than unique. We've been talking about unique being used as a common load. There's other powders, many powders out there guys, and you can roll back the specs on any one of those powders to where you get into the optimal niche with regard to noise and flash. Flash is just as important because Typically, and again this happens over and over again, sentry removal takes place during cover of darkness. Oh, that's right. Now as far as select fire goes, your little twitchy finger will do everything with a semi-automatic that any select fire will do. And select fire is non-critical. When the time comes if you really want to select fire weapon you can afford to shoot Well see that black uniform moose on the other side look at him as nothing but a mobile resupply pod shoot him you get a select fire weapon if You have to defend yourselves and down the road here, and you're gonna be fighting a battle which will develop into a war If the sky's the limit Okay, but you may find once you get hold of and this little thing. I'll warn you about You may not like what you get from the other side. It's like, man, this is like, junky. And it's like, I know. Lowest bidder and the troops don't know any better because the junk that's being given to them, it's all they know. Oh, yeah, you see how that's a real problem for them too. If it's all they know, they don't know any better. And meanwhile, you're carrying some of the finest high quality arms ever made. You tweak them to the nth degree. It's your Glock, it's your .45, it's your AR, it's your AK. Whatever you have at your shoulder, what did you do to make it yours? Why is it that gun is so special to you? In many cases because you've built it one piece at a time or you've built it up and replaced parts one piece at a time and you've made that weapon your weapon. Well your weapon is what's going to make the difference. The significant reason that success is most likely is because all of you have taken your shooting interests seriously. That's a big plus when the time comes. So we don't need to do anything super exotic as far as the operations go. What we need to do is make sure that if we're going to get out there, that we become highly proficient with what we got and perfectly cognizant of all the variations, what we can do with what we have without any special entanglements. Another thing real quick, I've got something here I am trying to find. Now, I had an example of these before and apparently Marspec, which is a company I've mentioned before to you guys, Marspec has some Italian mesh baseball cap camouflage hats. But the camouflage is like nothing anyone else has. Now what I understand is that this is not a vegetata. But it is a desert Italian camouflage pattern. It works kick rumpus. In fact, it's very well engineered the way it's built. And I'm trying to find any example of the pants and shirts just so that I have a bigger piece of print. However, one of the reasons I bring this up, this particular hat is an excellent camouflage. It is a field desert or fall item. and it would work really well as a friend fo identifier now the hats are available their dirt cheap and they're actually uh... a foreign slash italian military desert item all try to get a picture of this on the war page eventually we're working on that uh... because we got some other color upgrade to take place but it what i'm looking for is to try and find more of the uniforms and or gear there should be a shelter quarter or shelter half or a poncho, there should be again, top and bottoms and coats. The problem is, the stuff may have stayed in the theater of operation, or this was again, a very limited issue for some NATO slash UN operation. And then it faded off into the distance, it disappeared. And it's really interesting because it's actually superior to a lot of the Italian, Italian camo that they developed in the last five, 10 years or so. It is, It's not digital, but it has some digital characteristic with just about the way the pattern is set up. What's most interesting is it's more like the new multi-cam in the way that it bleeds over from one color to the next. It's really well done. So, hard to do this. Let me hold the hat up to the microphone. See, I didn't do any good. But, if you see any of this at one of the gun shows, it's the Italian desert, not the new Italian desert. There is a new pattern that's out there. But this was actually used through the 90s, by what I understand. And Marspec does have the hats, but they've seen nothing else in the way of the gear. I'm trying to figure out if anybody does have it and then we're going to find out what we can do with it. But the hats by themselves, this hat is so oddball yet it's reasonably priced so you could have a hundred of them on the shelf. This is a great friend-foe identifier and it's something that somebody couldn't get from any of, you know, they could just walk out and buy the store. It just won't be there. It is available through a wholesaler, but that wholesaler has been eating that inventory for the last couple of years, at least, that I know of. And he still has a bunch of them sitting on the shelf. So I'm going to see about clearing those out. And then I'm also going to talk to one of our Michigan militia manufacturing group people. We're going to look at actually building this pattern. We're going to figure out what it takes to build the pattern, first of all, because it's a very unique idea the way this was done. Anyway, next on the list of things to do, the hat thing only because it can't heads up if you see it guys. If you're at Knob Creek, there's a couple guys. They have some uniform people that show up and I'm not always able to get down there before those guys come and go because one of them takes off a little early, unfortunately. He's down there because he's enjoying himself. the hands and tables off to another guy and the other guy fills in for the difference and so if we catch him fine if not not going to cry off I'll be able to track him down and I will be buying and I'll be acquiring more of the stuff we're going to put it on film so everybody doesn't understand what we're talking about be one of our YouTube videos also we are working on the next Well, Don Betcher's third night vision video, that is something that is in motion right now and uniforms, gear and equipment. We're going to be demonstrating some of the more unique stuff that works really well. And it's not so unique that it really jumps out at you if it's not in a nighttime environment. It's a good camouflage pattern, or they are good camel patterns. They especially work in their area of operation quite well. In other words, wear where they're expected to function, they're built specific for the environment. So that's one of the things we're going to demonstrate is, well, how well do some of the Swiss patterns work? There's more than one, by the way, the Swiss Alpine Flauges, one you're familiar with. There are two or three others they've come up with that are bleed offs from what the Swedes, the Finns, and the Norwegians have been doing. And they've been pretty successful with those. Also, a lot of the Northern European camouflage is for night vision purposes. are definitely predator uniforms. And that's something that as we've investigated, we found out, wow, check this stuff out. Sources, well, as a matter of fact, we're going to the source, Finland. The Finnish forces have been releasing a certain amount of stuff in the surplus, but we have to go track it down and figure if we can drag it over this way. Now we can. It's not a critical item, but it's an item we wanted for the video filming. We're probably going to use it in more than one environment. We're going to take it over to Idaho. And we're going to be filming up in the Rockies. So we're going to definitely demonstrate with the different terrain, different colorations, how this works. And we'll also be filming, well, as a matter of fact, down in Iowa. And we'll be filming in Colorado. Four weeks out, if I get to travel, we're not going to sit on our hands. We're going to be doing more than three or four different projects simultaneously, in addition to the Alliance work. I mean, come on, we'll be in Colorado. Aren't there mountains out there? And then the rest of the place looks like stinking desert. I mean, whoa, dude, has you ever been down there by Cheyenne Mountain? It's like bleak. If they drop a nuke, it'll be very hard to tell. Yeah, we're hoping it will drop a nuke. But if they did, hey Mark. Yeah, I know well remember they spent all that money on the place and hey They've been using it as like a walkthrough museum II thingy and it's like well that what that did is by keeping it active They kept it remember what I said you you let people play with it so that when the time comes you can come back and take it over And that's exactly what they did Jeff Lee they left it the place. I mean good lord. They I was got him out of my they spend that on that well Well, one of the things about that, you know, thank you for bringing that up, Cheyenne Mountain, is remember we've been pointing out to places all over the country they've quietly been moving back into. Remember we were covering in Massachusetts a couple of locations. One of our callers that's listening, forgive me, one of our listeners who has, you know, written a lot, was taking pictures of one of these sites that was a major signal communications underground complex. Well, one of the colleges took it over like they did so many. Well, all of a sudden, you know, all the sites are being secured with locks and all of a sudden there's traffic that was never there before and then all of a sudden the two big blue and orange trunk line fiber optic cable roll showed up and That that's the flag right there. That's all fed. So what they're doing is rehardening and re securing and then rewiring the sites and putting them back online and I'm expecting the Russians, you know, I would think that the, if, well, for instance, like the Ukrainians would be doing that, at least the East Ukrainians, all that Cold War equipment that was on standby, built like a brick doghouse, all the facilities, and a lot of them built the sides of mountains or whatever. They look tired now because everybody walked away and nobody did basic maintenance. Well, they get their act together. All those complexes could be back online and hell, they're pretty hardened and can deal with even the worst of bombing effects. So it's true over here the same way. Cheyenne Mountain is one. There are two or three other air bases that right now, what they did, like everything else, like a lot of the guard bases or what they call camps, Where it became a camp, or Fort Custer for instance, it was Fort Custer military reservation. Well, what they did is most of the old post, they let factories put buildings all over the complexes guys, and they get to rent the place for nothing. But what they sign in the way of an agreement is if they build a warehouse sized building, and they mobilize for war, all of those buildings become government property in 24 hours. Now, what they'll expect them to do is move their stuff out unless the government prioritizes to mobilize what they have in the way of technology for their own use. But the idea behind this is any buildings that they need were constructed by somebody else, the facilities roads were maintained and kept up, Now, secure areas are still secure, but all the rest has been opened up, and there's restaurants, and there's food handling, and there's maintenance shops, and there's everything else that they need somebody else paid for. So when the time comes, they just walk in and say, hey, read the contract, time to leave. And that's another variation in the theme. But there are a bunch of air bases that are right now on standby. It wouldn't take no time as long as they've kept the pavement from silting up and the facility isn't under sand dunes. Well, guess what? That facility could be taken over by the Air Force on the count of one, two, three. Planes that leave at Mach 1 can just easily return at Mach 1. Transport, think about it. And the semi-trucks would make up the difference, a driver like you're doing. That's a big question mark on it. That big hole kicked out in Nevada for the fish they'd ever used. There's not one pound of nuclear waste in that facility in Nevada. I'm just wondering what the hell they're going to do with that huge hole in the mountain over there. Well, if all of this fails, they have a tendency to very quietly ignore it, and then all of a sudden it gets sealed up and somebody's doing something with it. That is true. We've watched that time and again. What they'll do is tell you they're closing a facility down and well, they are closing the public area down, but like up there at Escoda, the facility there, the nuclear side of the post was never shut down. And even after they told everybody, oh yeah, we're shut down. Let me give you an example. That particular site at Escoda, we went through the whole thing to look at buildings to buy. So we got a chance to see everything on the inside. So we asked, well, what about the north side of the runway? Oh, you can't go there. But I thought the facilities closed down. Are they going to sell everything? Oh, you can't go over there. Don't worry about it. Wait, why don't you come up? Let's go look at the Officers Club. See, we went, we actually, when we were looking for a place to put Republic Radio, you know, RRI, we looked all over that part of the state because there were some radio stations were come for sale. buildings were up for sale, all kinds of stuff. Well, the base itself was up for technical sale. In other words, just like we were talking about, they had a brand new double theater they just installed like they had in all the bases here in the US. They had a brand new commissary, brand new PX, brand new factory warehouse for picking everything with robotics. They installed billions of dollars worth of material, brand new officers and enlisted man's clubs. We were looking at the officers enlisted man's club to put the radio station in. It had everything was needed, office space, power supplies, and it was big. It was like half a neighborhood, so you know, well, about the size of a quarter of a city block. It was a nice complex. It's still sitting there. Nothing. No, that's moved. It's all been occupied. But the thing is, it was a own technical lease arrangement in that, yeah, you owned it. You could do whatever you want with it. You could promote it and fix it up and do whatever. But if the government wanted to come in and mobilize the air base, you were out of there. And that's what they did. I remember Harry Reid fought tooth and knelt that damn thing over there. They never even utilized it. For some reason they never put a wealthy light about what it was supposed to be for. I'm not sure they're going to build another dam. Well, the only problem with that is where it is in proportion to other... It certainly can't be near a fault line or anything, so it should be a very stable site. And there's nothing to say that they haven't already installed something because where is the best place to put something? in a place, they always try to pick a place where they've told you they're not gonna be or they never would be. And you shouldn't be there either because, radiological waste! Well like you said, they never introduced anything into the site. But you know, people think that way. They hear part of what you say. And that's one of the advantages of using a site like that. So just don't think about it. That's why I held a big hole. I mean it's like violent. Well you might recall that that kind of happened with Remember we were talking about the collider that they were going to turn on and it was going to turn everything into mini hell? Remember they built the same thing down in Texaco. And they dug everything. They sent the board machine in, dug all the holes, the whole nine yards and then walked away. So it does happen. I mean they really do that because now one of the other reasons that I argue they do that is a distraction from what they're really working on. And I would point that out, I've seen this many times, it's like, oh yeah, look over there and they'll make a fuss. And meanwhile, they're busy over in the opposite direction right behind you, literally building what they're trying to get you to look at over in the other direction, it's never gonna take place. Or where they're moving stuff, especially when they're trying to move stuff in and out. They don't want people to, you know, to get anything, activity to draw attention. Especially if it's a really restricted site. It's like the salt mines in Detroit, Michigan. Those are completely fed run and supposedly they've opened up the salt mines for people to look at, slash tour, but they're not touring them like they used to. It's a very limited like, hey look, we're seeing you can come in here, but don't go over there. Yeah, you can come in here, but don't look that way. You can come over here, don't move that curtain. Because they've got everything curtained off so that you can't see what's going on down the tunnels Oh, they'll let you come in and take check things out and they have a very limited narrow place where you can operate and You are going to be charged and beaten on and tased and whatever if you step off the the salty path If you decide to go check things out for yourself, you know, I'm gonna go over here. Oh you better not do that Did it up all floors or top? They're just like, yes, they'll handle, they have rail down there. They don't just have trucks, they have rail. The tunnels are so big they can handle full-size rail cars. Wow. In fact, there is, under Detroit, the headquarters for the salt mines was built in the salt mines. There's a complete office complex when you come into the main and in fact nobody even realized where the main entrance is It's all been pretty well low keyed out But when you go down and you go through the first intersection I believe you go straight ahead Then in the next tunnel you go through you come out into an opened up area And it's a it this is a two-story office guy actually three in some spots But it's a big office complex built underground in the salt in the salt mines It looks just like an industrial building, an industrial office site that you would see above ground from back in the 50s. I got to google that and check that out. That's one of the few underground facilities I've never seen. Actually, the thing is, understand it stretches all across not just Wayne County, but parts of that go out into Upper Monroe County and even up under the Detroit River. I don't know how far they went with that because again, that river is above them and you wouldn't want it to become part of below you. You know what I mean? That'd be kind of embarrassing. Hey, look, we drove a hole here. We got fresh water. And that does happen. You know, that happens both ways. When they tunnel what most people got to remember, they're constantly watching for making the mistake of boring into an underground river. You know, rivers don't just roll above the earth, you know, on the surface. Right. And that's right. When you always hear these people tell you about how they bore these things, these tunnels for miles, and it's like, really? Well, that's kind of neat, but they'd have to be very cautious because the rivers underground are even more massive than anything we have above ground. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. These water shortages. I guarantee you, California's not out of water. No, it's a complete fabrication, but it's also because, again, the eco freaks are, you know, it's not the eco freaks, the communists. They're using the Eco Freakdom as their excuse. They could deal with the situation, but there's been a progressive, intentional attack on the farmer in California, so that the communist Chinese could take it over. And that's in California. That's Nanogor's Oregon. Henry could tell you his area, the problems they've had in his part, in the State of Jefferson area. But all the way up to Washington State, it's no different. And Colorado, the creeps in Colorado, again, like we said, it's Boulder and Denver that are a problem, not the rest of the state. If they have their way, everything will be squared away. I wonder how well Chinese get along with Mexican. Boy, that's inevitable. It's not an if, it's just a when. Well, I'll tell you what, we're almost to the top of the hour. We should be hearing the music any minute, guys. Ed with Militia Town Hall Meeting is coming up next. Nob Creek is right now. Today, right now. So you're gonna, in fact, even as we speak, they're getting ready to rattle battle out there on the range. Well, we're the top. God bless the Republic. That's a no-wield order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on the march, day and night. Hurrah. Thank you, sir. We'll be back. BK and myself evening intel, reporting at 8 o'clock. Meanwhile, don't touch that dial. More live broadcasting. Ed and militia town hall meeting. Bye-bye, guys. The sons, the sons of liberty It's the time, why it's made in an every dream It's the time
