Mark Koernke hosted the afternoon Intelligence Report on July 28, 2015, discussing preparedness, night vision technology, and firearms. The show covered end-of-year fundraising goals ($2,000 target with $435 raised), upcoming drawings featuring a signed lead guitar and militia baseball caps, and detailed technical discussions about night vision devices, thermal imaging, and gun sights. Don provided extensive information on mounting systems, optical equipment pricing, and sourcing strategies. The hosts discussed scavenging parts from damaged equipment for deception operations, the value of printed reference materials like "Small Arms of the World," and practical advice on pump shotguns, scope mounts, and field repairs. Topics included EpiPen shelf life, bee sting allergies, and the importance of maintaining spare optical and mechanical components for weapons systems.

His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside 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 still the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our krinky I heard a ding we might have Don there. He'd be unmuting himself. A closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, and ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on treeradio.4mg.com, indianafreedomtalkradio.com, r- on AF and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska Hallmark network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, a big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, 5th, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of Mississippi, and land in the Smoky, slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the mob, elgrama consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million petticoat junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Okay, it is a beautiful, beautiful Tuesday, and it has been medium temperatures and actually pretty toasty here and there, but we've got cloud cover moving in again, so... Looks like it might want to rain. They're saying it might rain tomorrow. Who knows? Don't even count on making that interrupt your day because it'd be a waste of time. We were waiting for the rain. It never shows up. On the other hand, if it rains, it'll rain for a bit. It'll stop and then it'll get muggy and it'll be back to summertime again. So just have the tarps and everything ready to cover everything. It's not hard. They're cheap. Chinsee, of course, garbage from China Sport. But hey. All you've got to do is get it covered. When everything's done, get right back to doing what you've been doing. Just that simple. Anyway, it is a beautiful Tuesday. It is Communications Tuesday, by the way. It is the 28th of July. It is the 7th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation. America with a K 2015 old earth calendar or 2015 year of battle so Couple interesting things going on right now. I would figure just to be safe. Don't leave Dom out. Do we have down there? Well double check is I know he's around uh He's not on the call-in line right now. He was when I first checked, but I'm kind of taking care of the fours at the same time dad We're getting Well, I've probably got a speaker going it's feedback. It's from my mic opening. I'll close it. Okay. Well, anyway As long as we're you got ed here, I'm gonna shut up ed. We got the end of the year billing Let's cover that before we go any farther and let everybody know what's going on and we need to update the numbers on the page, too All right, let's try that now there we go. There we go. No squelch. Yeah. No, I was saying I was uh Picking up and taking care of stuff here. So you get you're pulling me away from an ongoing project, but that's okay Well, we've got the end of the year come bill coming up in October we're trying to raise $2,000 before October 1st to Cover the end of the year bill. We've already got about Let's see here according to my notes last time I updated it. We've got four hundred and thirty five dollars and forty eight cents raised for the end of the year bill out of the 2000 so we're almost according to the way there. then that one time of year bill is half what it would have been had we paid through the year. Which makes all the difference in the world. So if we're going to have a goal, might as well be an intelligent goal. Where we minimize the expense to everybody, maximize the end result. And, uh, let's see, we do have a drawing the end of this month, which is, I believe Friday. This Friday, yep. And you know what's available there, Dad. You need to get a list of that. We're doing Robert Lloyd Music Collection. We have four of the training aids. of the baseball caps, the militia baseball caps, the woodland camos, they're very high quality. In fact, they had themselves around about $8 apiece between 6 and 8, even wholesale. And that's, if you can find them, the company has them in stock. Right now, I've been looking around and... Everybody's eating up their inventory, but nobody's replacing you guys. So finding them to spend an issue. You can pay top dollar for them, and you can pay medium dollar for them. And you can even pay a little less if you know where to look. Well, I know where to look. We're not buying enough so Paying the higher bill is what we're gonna have having to do probably and I don't like doing that when we when we do the next batch right now We're still looking at a number of them available Captain Monahan is the one who did the first big lump of them the In the printer should say the stitchery company that's doing it as our information on file so we can do it with any hat we choose which is Anyway, very cool. I see we have Don back with us to mark We also have that's for this month's drawing next month We've got the guitar and I need you to either get a picture of it post it on Facebook or have mom Send me a picture of it through her phone Either way so I can get it up on the website for the guys. I know Henry and Spike and the other guys want to put up on their website so people can see what's in the drawing And it is a lead guitar, guys. Not really a bad little machine, better than the average pair. And it's probably seen a few concerts here and there by the looks of it, but it's actually in pretty decent shape. And it's cool because it's signed by the entire band, by Poker Face. And we'll put a few more signatures on there before we're done. And that will be for next month's drawing. So, and yes we do have strings, everything's there. We took the strings off and have everything on standby so we can get the signatures on there. It's kind of hard to sign and get around the string, you know. So we just got that, you know, eliminated that problem so it would be a lot easier to fill the board with... ...to fly over or under the bridge rather than through it. That's right. Alright guys, I'm going to step away and finish the project I was working on here. And I appreciate that. And again, end of the year Bill. Now, done. ...brother, Night Vision Technology, the new webpage, and understand, make people understand, you still want to call down even after you go to the webpage for a reason. Go ahead. Well, when you get to the website, you know, by punching in 3W's dot Y, D, uh, that'll get you over to the website. Again, Y, D, dot U, S. When you get there, you'll look at goggles and gun sights and green screen gun sights and thermal gun sights and other goggles and... Well, I do mention gun sites for a reason. Places that, well, are just competitive with anybody else on the net, but if you call, you can move those prices down to more acceptable levels for the purchaser. You know, tree level and cut a little bit more out of it. As an example, and this is the one you hear a lot of, but the Generation Gun Site, 308 capable, 2 power. You'll see it advertised, you'll see it there listed on the website as the night arrow. The entry level tube in that brings that device to $1,299 according to the manufacturer. I can't advertise for less than that. But if you call me, we can put in a code that will allow you to purchase that device for $1,155, which is better than $1,200. We can do that across the board. As example, a third generation gun sight to power. I think the manufacturer wants $34 or $3,600. I'm going to change on top of that, but let me see. That's like six. what the manufacturer wants for minimum advertised price. With that in mind, again, you get over to the website, you might want to look around and if you catch an interest in something, call me about the price. 2317965833W.YD. When you get there, I wonder what that goes for. You can find out by calling me at 23179684. Go ahead, color jump in there. Give out those PS case that I sent like this month's drawing. I was just curious. Not this month, I think we're going to do it next month with a guitar. We've got all things for this drawing without any problems. So what we do is I've got a box and as we have stuff built up and I try to do it multiples, I'm looking for a couple more knives to go in with that. I've got some really cool stuff that's sitting here that's related. Also, carry pouches and I've been running into some really nice...they're not the fancier, but they're chest pouches. They're above the Chinese chest pouch, but below a lot of the molly gear as far as how big they are and how they fit. But they really do have some nice side pockets and I think will accommodate everything I want to put in them. So I was going to do like maybe a little kit. see what happens. It depends on what I get this week coming in from the different distributors. What's nice is that if you take that kit apart and put it in different places or when you're done with it, what have you, the valve itself makes it nice. Either way it was manufactured and so kind of large, but this is a dump pouch or an ammo pouch either way because of its size. That's kind of nice. Well, actually the uses there's a bunch of different ways to station that especially like as a as a utility carry ring just for a blowout kid or for a Reserve bag for additional magazines just stuff it in solid remember we've talked about like for a breakout kit So there's a couple different things can be done with them. It'll work fine for any number of different, you know purposes But I want to experiment because I got this other gear And if I can, I'm going to make like a little system so we have more than one of these. And the two are the way maybe. So. Yeah, I sent one to Henry and then one to Spike. You know, they're all exactly the same. And then one to you. But they're all basically for L2. Right. Yes. Well, actually, remember, India had a freedom talk radio. They've got a drawing. And Henry has to find resources for his programming too. So everybody does basically the same thing. And these are cool. The other thing that I was hoping to do is I've got an access, a source right now that has check medical packs. In fact, they came in brand new, guys. What's interesting is when they came in, nobody had checked them. They still had the, they had certain things in them that will keep you from feeling a lot of pain. Get my drift. Oh my. And they had nobody had checked anything and they were all on board every one of them like cases of them Oh that had to be dealt with but very interesting is that I put in for their drawing Well, we won't have those because they didn't get they didn't get past I don't know me stuff, huh? Yeah, they won't well they did those things were taken from the kids. Let's put it that way if they realized this has happened before with atropine Years ago, one of the surplus companies bought a whole pile of M17 gas mask bags. They were 15 cents a piece, and I needed a bunch of them. So I bought 100 of the 15 cents a piece M17 gas mask bags. Well, each one of them had three atropine injectors in them. And I didn't say a word, I just ordered more. It turned out that however many they had, every last one of them was all properly outfitted the exact same way. So... The cautionary on this is sometimes people send things as bait or to load someone up. You might be walking, and it's not Weapons Wednesday, but you might be walking through a gun show looking for all the lower parts for your AR. And here's the guy who knows you, who's seen your picture, who's been briefed on you. And when he sees you coming, he gets out that special pack that has that sear in it that's just enough to say that, well, that won't work on, you know, single fire. It'll work as long as you hold the trigger down, and he'll sell that to you. And if this is another example of people, I don't know what I'm looking at, and I'm, hey, I'm example of that too. They will load you up with what they will later call you guilty of. But the neat thing is that these are brand new. They're fully stocked packs, you know, pouches. Well, actually, they're medikits is what they are. They're just the replaceable. Every time you use one, you pull everything out, you use everything up, you throw another bag at the guy and everything's there, packed up exactly the same way. Well, they have several thousand of these. So what I'm trying to do is make a package deal in a larger quantity. And if we do that, then we'll have a lot of really nice, you know, we've had stuff like this before. In fact, back when Desert Dust 1 ended, we acquired a massive amount of equipment like this, in fact, through into the early 90s, into the like middle 90s, surgical kits, medical support, you know, uh... triage packs you name it anything you can imagine but it was tough was packed up for going overseas for the war and they balked it out the way they normally would but didn't get it get over there so it was sold in uh... south carolina virtually by the city block i mean they literally had piles the size of a city blocks of the stuff was ridiculous went for a ridiculously cheap price if you had the money to buy it And in turn, then the person had to find a place to put it. So he started moving the stuff where the guys have bought it, would move it for a good price. And that's what we're looking for right now is the perishables like this. We are going to go through a lot of this stuff, and we can't be just throwing things around and tossing stuff out. Everything will have to be used. If it isn't, it has to be preserved. So just something to think about there. Hey, that's it. I'm sorry to interrupt. That atropine, that's basically an EpiPen. Yeah, all it does is... You know shelf life on those unless they're highly stabilized as far as temperature. Right. Well, the other thing too is remember I always laugh because everybody says, well, this is the antidote for biological and chemical weapons. And it's like, no. All this does is accelerate you to the point where you don't feel, you know, it's like you don't feel yourself dying. It lets you run, it lets you run a little longer before you fall face down anyway. That's what they don't really want to explain is it's like, okay, well, yeah, the metabolism burns faster, but the atropine, it's just going to make your, you know, you're going to go tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick If you're looking to put one of those away on the shelf as an example for shellfish or bee stings, you might not encounter that many shellfish unless somebody serves you crawfish stew sometime when you're out there in the woods, but you might come across a bee sting. There's this thing called adult onset. If you weren't allergic to bee stings when you were a child and you don't know it, adult onset, if you become allergic to it, is vicious. Can I say something about that, Don? Let me finish this thought, please. You guys, the Etripein, the EpiPens have about a six month, maybe a year shelf life, and they advise you do not use them after that. Perhaps it's to sell more, but the alternative would be go out and buy a hundred count of the Benadryl and in pill form and don't open that package until it's needed. Buy two or three of those and don't open those packages until they're needed. Keep them as stable as you can as far as, you know, 70 degrees year round. and I thought I'd bring it up. You wanted to add a thought? Yeah, well, the pharmacist told me on the EpiPen that it actually has a life of about 18 months. I have two of them. I used to raise bees. I don't raise them anymore. Maybe that's what I got hit with was this adult onset deal. I had apparently myself in just enough time, locked the door and I was out like a light. This is not even enough to describe it, is it? isn't even enough of a word to describe it. You know, but you got to look at it this way. How much is your life worth? And I buy something that I feel I really need to look at it. Not what it costs. Money comes, money goes, but it's like you want to live a little longer. And so, you know, I got the prescription, I bought it, and I kind of feel a little safer. But you know, the thing is, you jab yourself with that, that'll just keep you awake like 911, and they come, well, this time I won't be passed out, I'll probably be awake, but that's it, you know? Because again, sometimes it's progressive. The next time you get hit, the next time you get hit, it gets worse and worse. Again, it's almost a curse to think that, you know, before someone, we were talking about sharks. I've been in the water with sharks and I was talking with someone else about it and he was with a rebreather at about 400 feet and fought off a big shark. And, you know, it's... When you think about along the lines like that, you know, I've walked out here in the woods and the bears 20 feet from me, you know, and stuff like that. But to think that all it would take is a couple little bees. Outradictions, isn't it? You're thinking the world and then a little damn bug will Tuesday when you're out of beer. You're out of combo, you're out of beer. That's your new saying. Yeah, it's about the same, ain't it? Because you can't order nothing in. And I don't mean just bug-wise. That's about the end of the line. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Oh, boy. That's a good point. We'll have to get somebody to make a bumper sticker out of that. Well, that's OK. We're good. We're at the bottom of the hour, Don. So I want you to get in the information, technology. What do we have? We were talking about FLIR the other day. We do have Green Screen, other technologies. Mounts and fixtures. Also, remember, maybe you have something that needs to be mounted. Maybe you're looking for parts. Well, to do that, you need to talk to Don. Don, how can they get ahold of you? The web page and more. Please, jump in there and take your time. Well, that leads over to mounts and fixtures. Somebody called me more than a year ago and they asked me what would I need. And I told them what they would need and they included the money. And I really don't have that connection. I don't, you know, look around a bit and I've tried to get ahold of this person. So I'd ask if you're listening, you know, call me about that, you know, sometime soon and we'll work on that, huh? But again, that's, and I've done that clearing on a number of times. I just wanted to clear that because, you know, there are a number of people, arms is one, A period in each letter. And then they've got two sided mounts that are a quarter inch thick and up to like almost three inches thick, you know. inches long or 18 inches long and all kinds of different invariant. But that'll get you to mounting almost any night vision device I sell on almost any gun out there. Sometimes when you start looking at bolt guns, you know, like, or guns that are top loader, top ejector, you know, I know the M1 throws it off to the side, you know, but it is a top loader. Sometimes you have to look over to things that, well, carry it off to the side a little bit. Point it out many times. B squared or the military mount for an AK or an M1. That scope off to the side enough that well, just like you did before. But if you're looking for something to put on that rail, we could talk about green screen via second or third generation. We can talk about fourth generation, but the caveat there, the warning there is, you know, for the price of one fourth generation gun sight, I can pretty much get you two third generation gun sight set. A bit of an exaggeration. And that works down to, again, for the price of a third generation gun site, I can get you two second generation gun sites and it works down, see how it, you know, at any rate to about fourth generation other than to say that's, you know, that's an auditorium full of pop bottles, guys. In that direction, we've talked about that curve that intersects as the thermal price came down and, well, the green screen prices come down some as far as for the tall end stuff. In gun site and third, the duration used to be over. worth of $4,000. Now it's over $3,000. So there's been a reduction there. But the curve I was talking about is the coincidence, you know, as they cross, prices in, you start to look to higher third generation, not exactly the entry level. If you move the next step up, now you're in the price of a thermal gun sight. I pointed this out before, and if you can move that far, If you've got some, if you've got even first generation in your team, a thermal gun sight added to, or a thermal viewer added to that team would be a tremendous addition because what the green screen doesn't make out generally the thermal will and conversely sometimes you're looking at something with the thermal and you might wonder what it is but the green screen will offer you, you know, that's frank, that's not, you know, some unknown. So they make, they came together rather well. If you have one person and you give them, he becomes familiar with the green screen and then you give them the thermal, he's going to just be all kinds of happy about the thermal. And he might even tell you, we did this recently, that I'm going to just carry the thermal from now on. But there'll come times when he wishes he had someone standing next to him running that piece of green screen just so they could figure out, what is that we're looking at? And I'd only do this to exaggerate. They are each tools and they each perform in different parameters. you can expect, you know, X amount from one and X amount from the other, but the two X's will, you know, have different quotients. That might be one, and maybe that's, you know, I'm not a mathematician. I won't move much farther into that area. Okay? But you kept my drift. You spoke some time ago about that one book, Guns of the World. Guns of the World? Yeah, yeah. Read it once. Remember, Craig, it's been a long time. But it's behind Otherwise, it probably would walk out the door quite often. And so they keep it behind registers, but they do carry it. And it's, I want to say, in the $40 range. And it's a blue cover, from what I remember. And from what you described a book, it's to say, your Bergens, your Sweet K's, M1 grease guns with the, you know, the black couple's drawn. You know, and then it's got that whole page on, you know, like, for the the development of 60, how it came out of the MG42 and just, you know, the M79 and, you know, with a blow up version of it and it's just on and on. It's just, it's exhaustive. For $40 honest to God, you can't, cheap and actually that's a bargain. I mean, if you look at the dollar... That's only $410, only $410 pot bottles. There you go. You know, I do that really... Oh, it's a big pile of pot bottles, but that's only 400 of them, and it's worth every penny. Have you perused that book? She did. She let me take it from my to deal with it, you know? And so I gave it back, and you know, and I was like, what's... Oh, yeah. Oh, no doubt, not pages and pages, how it was developed, sees of the gun, how to load, how to fire, how to disassemble, and the general failures to expect. How much more honest can you get? Smith and Smith. Small Arms of the World is the book we're talking about, right? This one was, I believe, by Ethel, turns an oboe at the bottom. But from what you were describing, it's the same book. Let me lean forward here. Some things I like to keep close at hand. Books on guns, guns. Loaded magazines for the aforementioned guns. Inside of this book says Smith and Smith, Small Arms of the World, Galahad. of course this is, this one, somebody else might be printing it now, but I don't know why a publishing house would move away from, you know, such a book if they'd been printing it for years. So apparently you found another example with a good source of information. Yeah, and like what, the pictures are all in black and white. Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly. Now I'm going by memory in that, but you described it sounds the same. of the index is numbered page 760 and then there's the fly page and the back hardcover. This is quite the book bigger than plenty of phone books. I like this book a lot. Like you said you know it's just for us just since the dollar is going anyways you might as well do something with it that will do you so good or whatever and oh yeah I mean not that you're gonna run across you know but I'm just saying that the knowledge is time under conversation. weapons that were until the book was produced, which would be like the whole development of the M16. That's like kind of exhaustive and you know, the H&K, so on. It shows in the drawings the whole roller block system and how it works and on and on and on, you know. And so it's worth the money. Many guns that we might encounter. And an overview here is, you know, there are only so many ways you can build a car. There are only so many ways you can build a piston engine. Vankel would argue with that. And there are those that say that's not really a piston engine. At any rate, there are only so many ways you can build a gun. And once you become familiar with the broad overviews, sometimes you can gain the point, too. You can look at that gun and you can see that this is like this. This is like that. And by the time you're into the innards, oh, this is like the other guy. You understand what, sometimes when you get proficient at taking, like taking apart those 302s or 350, 351s, the 427 is just another 428, the 420, just another motor to rebuild. It's just, man, pick up that connecting rod piston, you know? The point is, when you have guns, you might come to a point where I've never seen this gun before, but you can look at it and study it for a moment and disassemble it, and put it back together, and wow, it functions. And one of the ways to get there is studying whole bunches of guns. You know, Weapons Wednesday, but, you know, talked about the value of the printed word before. And it's plug your Facebook in or, you know, your computer in out there in the woods. I've never seen a tree with a 110 volt outlet, be it, you know, the American or European or Asian outlet. I've never seen one of you, but again, only proving up the value of the printed word. a book in the right place. I'm not telling you to build a library and carry it around like your house. But the thing is, you know, it goes out. It's nice to have like everything on a little zip sticker, whatever the heck they call them. The thing is, electrical is poop, then zip stick. It ain't worth nothing. You can use it for a weight, maybe for fishing. And all the knowledge in the world is on it, but you can't access it. Access it at all, right. Electric when gone, but if you got it in print, there you go. You know, I'm just saying, you know, maybe I'm too old school, but I like books. Oh, me too. We've been, we've beat that drum for a good long time. It's like, come over here, boy, sit down. I'm going to help read this with me. Whether it's a Bible, a book on guns, or a book on the Constitution. Because, you know, the Constitution isn't much. It can be reduced to a, it can fit into your pocket. Functions, and even it's fluff. There are books, there are those that say, well, there are two. I think the number is two and there are those that say three or four outright contradictions in the, they're just outright contradictions in the Constitution and how it was created. So again, books are invaluable, you guys. It might be something that how do I do this? And someone hands you a book and they don't know how to do it either because that's a book in their library that they thought, I think I'll put this in the library, maybe I'll read it someday. And then you're... scratching your head and here comes the book because men there ain't no plugs out there in the woods ain't no 110 when we've addressed this before and we've done no we've talked about solar and we've talked about bicycles and generators alternators and mark you've talked about even you know taking them from the hulks of burned-out vehicles oh I go so far real quick on material and equipment on that note I want to point point out some images that people are seeing with the Kurds where the Kurdish units have been engaging the Israeli ISIS, you know, Arab mercenaries, the ones that are from right up there next to Israel. They knocked out a bunch of equipment. Now, I don't know if you've heard this, but now we, part of this special arrangement is that we've told the Turks they can bomb the Kurds who are fighting ISIS. Yeah, and we're supporting the Kurds in other areas. Yeah, but we're going to bomb the Kurds. Now I pointed out that guys when you have wrecked equipment if you can't scavenge anything off it this is why you have a crew of engineers and Just maintenance people that do deception work, you know They should be stacking and racking cardboard always watching for tactical or at least earth colors of house paint Staple guns, nails, board, pipe, whatever you can. But if you've got a burned out Hulk-like quarter-ton truck with a pair of, you know, 14.5 millimeters in the back, they may not be active, but they can be made look active. Now you think about why. You know that other one that Downs talked about we just carried away that works? They're hunting for that kind of stuff, guys. From, you know, again, everybody goes, well, they got air power. Well, give them what they want. I'm not going to use it. I'm going to make it look like I'm trying to hide it, keep it functional, and it is functional. And this is where we got to remember they've got just enough quality they can kind of see burned, none burned. So you've got to start thinking about that with deception technology. You know, I'll go so far as to say, you know, all the tires are burned on it, Mark. Yeah, that's what cardboard's for you. You don't have to cut circles. Think about it. Or even, how about this? How about those other pile of dead tires around the corner that haven't been used for anything? You slide, you know, cut a section out of them because the truck's going to be sitting on the ground. Cut a section out to make it appear like you've got the truck in a bit of a depression because the truck's sitting on its axles. You throw a couple of clunky tires, you make a cap out of a piece of cardboard, and you wire it into place, paint it real quick so it looks green, and the rest of the truck gets a coat of paint even though it's a rusty Hulk. Now when you say rusty, it's just a burnt Hulk, okay? Yeah. The idea behind this is to create high confidence with junk so that you can salvage the good stuff and get away with it. You may even still find parts are going to be very viable off of even a burn because it's not destroyed completely. If it's burned for a long time, the temper has changed, metal is an issue. But some items it won't make any difference. It's just that it's now scored. You're going to have to scrub it, paint it, and congratulations, it'll work crude and rude on something else. Just something to think about there. But I noticed this today, especially with a lot of the imagery, and then they're saying that they've got an air threat. Well, then you better get good at deception operations. And we've repeated this many, many, many, many times. And I want to reinforce again, because just because it's a segue into that, well, you got it out of that vehicle. Well, maybe you got that real hard half the wrecks burn, the other half isn't. There's no sense. Well, turn it around and stand it along the wood line. So the guy in the air to him, it looks like a new fresh target. Exactly. And camouflage knitting covers a multitude of sins. Yeah. Remember, camouflage or make it look like you're trying to hide it. You just didn't do as good a job. Not a perfect job. Let them dump another piece of ordinance on something that is not really a viable target. If they're dropping that ordinance on that wreck, they're not dropping that ordinance on you. Not new. Or new. See how that works? Just a little heads up on that, guys. One of those things needs to be remembered every once in a while. Anyway, a couple of things here. You know, the night vision technology, I want to slide back over here because of the other stuff that we're picking up. We may have to improvise to make something work. And this is another thing about scavenging parts off wrecks. Some things won't make any difference as long as they're not fried completely. They might need to be unsooted. You might have to scrape them with a brush or scrape them with a little piece of pad and then hit them with some auto paint or whatever you got, but they'll work. However, you're still going to end up with a lot of stuff where you're trying to mount that really cool optical device on something else you have. Picatinny rails come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. There's all kinds of nonsense. You know, short ones, big ones, small ones, spacers, you know, elevators, all kinds of stuff. If you can get ahold of the cheap China Sport copy knockoff, and you know, that's mostly in metal, then make up a kit and start adding to it, or feel like junk boxes at the gun shows, and maybe you guys got a bunch of this add-on stuff. It doesn't have to be the best. But remember that we're gonna be stacking we're gonna have to make spacer blocks and we're gonna have to make something that was maybe on another piece of equipment Fit your piece of equipment. So that's another reason have a spares container guys Nothing in optical fixtures ever gets thrown away. Yeah, I know that scope mount wasn't the scope mount you expected the rings didn't work quite the way you wanted on that You know, there were the set of rings you got you don't toss them out put them over in the rip in the spares box You mean that scope don't hold a zero no more? You can look at it and you can see that the reticle is broken. It's going two different ways. Looking down range, ain't it? Right. It's a great way to put something right in the middle of a hole. Okay, line up that hole and there they are. Wow. Pop, pop, pop. Better than no size, guys. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. What do we have? Uh, I just wanted you to remind everyone that Blue Extreme has a pretty good section for, uh, streams like scope maps and whatnot. Yes, D. dealxtreme.com. A lot of background noise, probably if you're going down the road or something. Let me turn off the speaker. I just wanted to say one example was they have something similar to the Peeper. You know the regular, what is it, Burris that makes the Peeper, P-E-P-R, Mount, whatever. There's a lot of that that was pretty super duty. I didn't try to run over anything, but it's pretty good. Let's assume that as long as it holds up to normal, rough and tough, we don't need to experiment to see how far we can go to destroy it. Exactly. Well, see, that's the other thing about deal-extreme is, remember, light fixtures, lasers, they have billions of lasers. They have all, if you want to experiment, or if you want to try and... Put something together to go along with what you've got. They have every size of widget you can imagine. They've got all the fixtures to mount it. They've got your small ring, medium ring. They've got, you know, again, mechanical fixtures for hooking up other items, but they're the accoutrements. So you can buy individual sets of items of things that you might need if you look at it and go, I can make that work for this. So it's part of that repair kit or that utility kit for in the field so that we can get something back up and online as quickly as possible. You know, we might have to make two dissimilar systems, but we can make those two dissimilar systems associate with each other enough so that we're doing a better job with them. Especially in night vision and optics. You know, optics is a unique niche. We don't think about it because we're blessed with a lot of junk right now, but this is why you don't toss it away. I just had a conversation with somebody, only a few minutes worth, that was at the grocery store on this very subject about finding parts. And they're hunting for something right now to put some other rifles online. And so far they went through three of the suppliers and they're all out. Why? Because everybody's snagging everything. And as the person pointed out, he goes, oh yeah, they're saying the same thing. Right now they're getting swamped. But it's for very specific, in other words, everybody's trying to get those last builds in, or they're trying to fix up that weapon that should have been fixed up maybe a year ago, and they're finally, you know, they're topping everything off, but it's eating up the inventories. And so even like Gun Parts Corp and Sarco and go right down the shopping list, I don't know about Apex, but I know Apex is going through a lot of stuff. It's all the same situation. People are experimenting or they're cross-dressing something and making it work. Because they've got it, so they figure, hey, might as well see if this will work on this one. Or they're fixing up the weapon that they've been gradually collecting all the parts for. It might be a bolt-action rifle, it could be a pump gun, could be a number of different things. So there's a lot of orphans out there, and they need to be brought up and online. They don't have to be drag racers, guys. They just need to gallop along. We just need to be able to throw it to somebody. There's something I can put five bullets in somebody with and now I've got the weapon that the enemy carried in. That kind of thing. Plus, reserve weapons in many locations is something that is going to happen. It's a must. We're going to need them. We're going to have to spread and disperse the arms we've got. And it's not always going to be perfect. So we've got to make do with the materials and support. We need to be building those skills now. That goes back to the 5'10 and not all your eggs in one basket. Yep. Doesn't have to be... One of the other things I was being asked about is pump shotguns. Again guys, I go around now, what do I get? Questions about guns and more ammo and where can I find this? And so the next question I had from somebody else today while I pulled into another parking lot was pump shotguns. Now the Chinese had those Remington 870 knock-offs. They're not Remington's, they're a Chai-Kam police gun. They come with the black stocks. They're running about 154 apiece. And considering that a used shotgun is running between 100 and 160 for a beater, you know, some of it's not necessarily a Remington, but you know, it's an off-name shotgun. Used. So, well, here's a brand new Chikon pump gun. At least you know out of the box, you should be good for a few rounds. And for a 510 program, it'll work just fine too. So just something that has a heads up there. Don, anything else, jumping in there? If you've got a buddy who's a gunsmith and you buy one of these guns, and you have it delivered through him, ask him to run a Brinnell test around the edge of the chamber. Just to offhand figure out how hard that metal is. Seen some of the Chinese stuff come in years ago with what M14s that were really soft around the breech, one or two of you might remember that. Again, I'm not deriding the shotgun, it would be better to know, wouldn't it? And that's a simple test. It just basically what you do is you just type something down on it. Oops, made that dinky little mark there, I'm sorry. It's a simple test. You know, uh, before, oh we're almost, are you gonna stick around now? I gotta go mark it. Okay, we're almost to the top here. I don't want to before we go any further don't want you to rush. Night vision, again, give out the web page a couple of times. Guys, go to the web page. You can look at what Don's been talking about. But when you do, you then know, call Don to find out what the prices really are. Don, go ahead, please. That number is 231-796. Again, 231-796. That's the number you'll need to call if you're looking at something on the website, be it goggles or gun sites, no matter green screen or thermal, in order to get a better price than you see advertised there on the website. Again, that number is 231-796-458-58. The website is 3w.y. That's yankee delta tango, o-y-d-t-o-e. I know you walk into the car dealer and there's sometimes there's some Dick or Shock, but we complete by dialing 231-796-84.

His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. 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.
