Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness equipment and training supplies available through an airsoft retailer closing out inventory, including tactical gear, booney hats, belts, safety goggles, and training rifles at heavily discounted prices. He then shifted to analyzing historical militia victories, particularly the Battle of Cowpens during the American Revolution and the first day of the 1993 Waco siege, emphasizing the critical role of armed citizens and militia in defending against federal overreach. Koernke covered radio communications strategy, electromagnetic countermeasures, and lessons from asymmetric warfare, stressing the importance of independent communication systems and tactical preparation for potential conflict.

Visit them online today at mainmilitary.com. That's main, like the state, military.com. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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's 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. Taken Satan's number, you trade it 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 buried. 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, get 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? The land of the state I call that much sooner to a second on Phoebe and the socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2000 and see how things develop both out west and country. Remember the rancher, Mr. Yantis, cued by a couple of cops their ID has known that's gotten delivered because of what's been going on farther out in Oregon. No, they always, even if they do wrong, they always of the... especially with this regime of core knuckle draggers could do no wrong. Frustrated, just benchmark that for me consideration with regard to our enemies. I'll sure hold down. We've got a bunch of activity taking place, like I said, here in Michigan. Job of throwing together the rest of the work that we need to get done with the two derelicts that we picked up. Not quite musing, certainly not functional right away, but that's just a matter of time. Four vision blocks, I had to check storage to see what I had, and I had them there. One's got a little bit of oxidation on it, that can be cleaned up. But again, the thing we've got, pour in as quick as we can. Both of them are Walker Bulldogs. One is an actual shape, just doesn't have a pretty paint job. It's almost always a case of don't count for nothing. It has the better paint job because it was repainted actually by the military years ago. Still a lead-based paint longer than the first vehicle. We're in the same location. Cool thing is we got them as a gift from one of our other fellow patriots who, two Walker Bulldogs going to the inventory, everything pulled apart. But many or any equipment like this we get hold of guys. I'm gonna go through a short list here on this because it is definitely worthwhile. If there's anybody out in, it's out near Let me get the location for you here real quick guys There's gonna be a boneyard sale, but he's called air sit 3 8's one Dale, California 9 1 7 0 6 that's the address they have items and material for as little as a dollar apiece But if you're looking for training aids, or if you're looking for especially they've got some Russian belt-fed duplicates all metal They've got $20 boxes in fact if somebody was going to be there, and I could get hold of them We cover the cost if they can be snagged because these are airsoft guns that are you know, boneyard everything wrong with them They don't care the silhouettes there though bolt-action sniper type rifles Oxes of other parts and there's actually a precursor. There's a few pictures of some of what's there You guys are AR-15 operators. They've got several different AR-15 boneyard and AKs stuff unique items 88 like I said bolt-action mouser those things run about three four hundred dollars apiece and expensive Boneyard item here is supposed to be $40. One, five, ten, or what are they, twenty and then $40. Anyway, it's a mix of stuff. $40, see that they're just showing like as a precursor, $40. They've got 8.70 knockoffs in Airsoft, can't tell the difference even point blank range. Picking off rifles and what you're actually going to see this is just a titillator thing. Who knows what the wall is going to be there. You got to remember two other people are going to be jumping on this. Find out more, just Rather than waiting for Mark to tell you everything, I don't need to read everything on this page. They're located out of Erwindale. This is a site, apparently, that's what I thought they were doing. They're going to close this site up, and they're going to a new location. So they're trying to clear everything out so they don't have to move it, and that's what we've been seeing. All these fantastic sets. You know, changing scroll from one item to the boneyard is for what it is, so we hit something. Okay, so it's a good training aid. In addition, That's the only one of the airsofts that are really critical. They have rubber training knives. Now we bought a bunch of the others up and I think we bought them out. Nine inch commando rubber training knife for hand to hand combat. It's the kind of stuff that Don likes to have around because that way he can teach people. Next, air splat. The wraparounds are the ones I like to go with. Not the ones with those points on the lower base. What you have with that is when you create more sharp points, if you've ever impacted into stuff, that's like putting the front of a motorcycle. You know what I mean? It looks really cool. you have that moment where something gets bumped up front and centrifugal force pushes you forward, stuck on the bumpy sharp thing, go whichever you choose. They're 50 cents a pair for these glasses. They're in smoke and they're great for throwing into the utility kit. People's faces rise when they get hurt. Open more for 30, 40, 50. But for $15, I've picked these up, I've looked at them. They're serviceable enough. Long as you can get in and out of it pretty quick. It's a tactical quick release plate carrier system in multi-cam. Pouches, all the fixtures and everything are on board. Now, next, row farther down, they have, by the way, they do have paint 100 for $6.50, and they're yellow or orange. If you need something just for training in that purposes, there you go. They don't have much air, they don't have much paintball equipment, but air that does have some. Okay, next, real tree pattern duct tape. I've bought a ton of this stuff. You can only get so many rolls. and they're 25 cents a roll. You can't buy any regular duct tape for 25 cents a roll. For the time, these are small rolls. They're not super big. They're not like your industrial for doing AC work. But they're the ones you get for anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 anywhere else. And it's in the oak camo pattern, okay? 25 cents a roll. There you go. Page two, which is what I'm gonna go to. There's a number of other items you may see something you're more excited about. Greg, congratulations. Run with that puppy. It's not my job. Wells L96 MB01 Sniper Rifle Metal Bipod. This has the Picatinny Rail release, quick release on it, spin pin release, $7. Now they haven't changed the price on these, but that's not a bad price for that type of system. For utility work with a couple of built up hand-me-down rifles, if you're looking for a bipod to put on them without spending $21, $29, $62, $80, okay. about $7 and you're not going to cry about handing it out to somebody and say, hey, take this and go kill a couple of them and then strip them naked and give it back to me when you're done. There are two different ones to choose from. You take a look at them. I've already got them. They're all metal. They're no different from any other China Sport folding stocks that have been out there. They actually have extendable legs. They work. It's the Nylon Cordura CQB Duty $3 apiece. This is a Riggers belt. I have one of the originals of these from decades ago. by the guys that made out of the shop, got it, okay. Then somebody got the bright ID to muck off of where the practice towers are on the south side of the ring there. You go in and, you know, same side they used to pile the boots on, guys. Anyway, they built them there. I've got one in OD Green. These things are Sage. They're a good little unit. They're a good belt. They work really well. And the trick was, if all fails, you can swing them off real quick and beat somebody with them. as heavy as the originals because the originals were done with aircraft go-straps. They're serviceable and they're not always going to see them. They go on your belt. Who cares what color they are as long as they're not orange, okay? But they're $3 a piece and that's a good price for a utility belt. If you're doing a 5.10 program, that would be a hell of a thing to put in your 5.10 program for people because, and by the way, you don't cut the belt down. You take it and the person is, tuck it around and the belt loops, okay? Get used to that idea. But for $3 a piece, it's on pay. page 2, about the middle of the scroll, $3 a piece. So on page 2, if you scroll down a little farther towards, well not quite the bottom, still in the middle, safety goggles. These are not goggles, they're more like safety glass, they're like soft rubber, you see them using them tactically, this is a knockoff copy of them. Well they've got full seal safety goggles, they're like the wraparound sunglasses with a strap instead of the arms that rest over your ears, okay? Saying goggle, but don't think goggle like the full, full wide lens, large lens, they're not. Streamline, 10 for $2 a pair, for $2 they've got the green ones for $2, and then they've got the 10s for $3, which one would mark by the green ones, because they might blend in a little better. They're there at that price somewhere, and I think I paid about $10 for it. Yeah. No worth it, even at that price. And for $2 a pair, like I said, for handouts, if nothing else to people who don't have anything, they're going to go, wow, you guys really got some cool stuff. Yeah, when you get into an altercation, you're going to love having your eyes protected so you don't have to be distracted. You can just walk right where you don't want it. And the price is right in these for $2. Like I said, the tan ones are $3. And it's like, nah, I do the green or the black. For $1 less, I can get more for less. Same pair, guys, but if you desperately need tan, I guess you can go with tan. But that's $1 more. So if I buy a bunch of the green ones, I get more pairs of them for less, or for the same price. I spend the same amount, but I get more. I like more. More is always good. OK, more betterer, right? Well, let's put it this way. I get three pairs for $6, or I get two pairs for $6. How does that sound? Does that make it easier to understand the math? Gee, I get a whole pair of, oh, yeah, I guess I'll do it that way. These are good. You'll find them on the page. You'll find the belt. It's nylon Cordura CQB belts. First strap belts. $3. Those are very well done. I actually got three of them before they ran out of the other color. The, uh, in the, uh, riggers, uh, slash the ACU green, sage green. I just got those today. So I'm bringing this up on the air. I got a chance to see some of the other stuff so I can tell you about it. I haven't seen it. I just say, Hey, I haven't seen any. Yep. It looks good. I'll tell you that. Now here's another one. And while they have them grab them. If you need booney hat and you are looking for that blackie for instance, for you know, all black, well you can spend 3, 4, 5, 10 dollars on baseball caps or whatever but they've got airsoft tactical sniper booney hats for a dollar a piece in black. You can only get 10 at a time. And they've got airsoft tactical sniper booney hat in tan. And you can only get 10 at a time. I got 10 of both. Why? Because you can't buy hat for a dollar guys. This right now, you can't buy a hat at for a dollar. Just for a dollar anywhere. Last year supporting one of the militia units out west and I scoured the system. I bargained for these at once so I could get 10 at a time. Teahats are booney hats or booney hats for somebody if you don't have anything. There's a solution, okay? You know, get rid of that problem of not having any. There are some holster, concealable holsters, not fancy. They're actually crude and rude but for 50 cents a piece, enough is just I don't have any use for the concealment holsters. they are there so if you're interested there's an option so a number of clothing items that have come up on the too numerous to mention they've got a whole bunch of polo shirts, camo shirts they're trying to push the inventory out that they've got and a lot of them the things that we're looking at in the later couple of pages in this closeout are typically a little pricier item they're a good price for what they're offering them for right now because it's half or like even if only a third of what they'd normally be many last week and I told you to buy them, that top and bottom. Well, I got those here. They're excellent uniforms. I expect it to be, but I'll tell you what, they're the other cut. They're excellent uniforms for $8. Dollars and top, $4 a bottle. There's stuff here. I'm recommending it for a reason. The reason I pointed this out to you and it's airsplat.com, www.airsplat.com. If you order $150 worth of stuff, free shipping. In other words, if you did $110 or $120, you might as well go $150 because your shipping is going to be making up the difference. Well, why spend that on shipping and give it to UPS when you can take $150 and get $150 worth of equipment? You see what I mean? And again, they're almost completely out of the vest. The ones that I mentioned before, you guys swooped in or everybody swooped in and bought them all. I don't know who did. I hope our people did. It seems that, you know, the waves. When we mentioned it on the air, it did what it was supposed to. We got them out of there. Now they do have some Airsoft 6mm 12 grain BBs for 5,000 pieces for $2. I grabbed a couple of those out of policy because we do have Airsoft for training. And for $2 for 5,000 BBs, not bad. Okay, pretty good price. And remember you can reuse them. Set up your training area so you can collect them. Anyway, solutions not just complaining about the problems and hopefully it gave you some ideas here. It's running out of to the scroll come up. that says running out of time, hit the red banner, or red banner, slap me in the microphone, yellow banner. There's a yellow banner that'll say, you know, shop here, tag that, it'll take you to the page. Now there's a lot of other items on their pages that are marked down, but it's a goofy page. Very sensitive, a lot of people don't like it, I don't, but you know what, I can put up with that when it comes to the prices, we're seeing a lot of interesting stuff that's showing up here. 25 cents for the roll of camper's duct tape, a dollar a piece for the booney hats. You can't beat that price. The tan ones, if you're looking for dark, you go with lighter paint. If you're looking to go with desert, but you don't want all tan, paint and add the other colors. With ultra flatten, congratulations, your dollar booney hat is brand new. It's got some more color. Now it matches whatever else you're doing. You can alter it. There's no rule that says I can't or that I shouldn't. You said for a dog, I've got ten of them sitting right behind me of the tan ones. And I'm excited about the tan ones. I can get real excited about. Why? Because hey, now somebody's got a piece of headgear that otherwise they wouldn't have had. Put it on their meaner. Or their militia unit. We'll be focusing tank, aqua chip, or the three-color DCU. But we'll be shoving it at them until we get them outfitted, you know, outfitted top to bottom one way or another. Those right now, hopefully because they got more. We're putting armies together. Anyway, airsplat.com, airsplat.com, www.airsplat.com. Those are the things to do. They can, you know what? has actually been gone for a few years now. It doesn't seem like, you know, it's like you say, time passes so quickly. Did a lot of interesting pe- back in the day, needless to say. What's fascinating about his choice of music in his last album is he was kind of making a statement about his personal attitudes and beliefs, okay? The special are great for limitations, as we know, and they create unique pieces. In this case, he knew he was, he was actually figured, I can while I can do the best I can make this the best I can for me of all you know all the times that I've gotten to a keyboard or particular piece think about he could have chosen not to talk about things to a point and especially the way he said it here little part of his background and personal beliefs with regard to this country we know are part of the history of it okay again Warren Zeevan of some time while I'm trying to get it squared away for you because you know how it is the machine will never cooperate when you want them to, you know how that works. Okay, Warren Zevon here. Actually could even think about people who are just plain piss-woolies out there. You have to do all kinds of things about what they're saying they're gonna do. Flynn said, he goes, you know what? We do what we do now, we do what we can now. He goes, you know, what difference will it make? We'll be dead. We'll be dead. No, my enemies don't like me. Your enemies will never like you. They hate you now, they will hate you later. If they could, they'd kill you right now. They just can't get away with it because you're as well armed as they are. Oscar, you guys asked for this and we've got some people up there doing some work to try and pull some of the food. I think we've got a family that's in need. That's the other reason we stockpile the food the way we do guys. So that when the time comes we have what we need where we need it and we don't have to hesitate our way. We just have to make sure everybody knows what's going on. Here we go. See if I can make this work right. The two ladies being about what trans... The one was asleep as they went into the ambush. The other before the ambush took place was phone went blank. The very nature of the remoteness of the s- of where they were from the beginning, and as we've talked many times about it being the old story, it's BFE slash you can't get there from here, then alternate radio communications becomes more obvious and apparent. The component is the more rustic the environment means, the more critical, independent, separate rhythms that do not rely upon repeaters, that do not rely upon any kind support system from a central member that in each case, even with radio, we consider each one of the radio's cast amplifiers as a landmine. These are all kinds of issues. You create toasters, the transmitters better be as heavy and industrial to match what you're doing with the linear amplifier. They're only good for so long. We expect that. Number one, we're looking at using some of this equipment purely for, you know, it's shoot and scoot. You crank it up, you run like hell and get away from it, and you wait to see how long before it becomes a major bullet magnet. That's not a problem. We accept that and understand that's why we built it. Consider this, that if you can create enough confidence, countermeasures, chatter, bad guys feel that they have to neutralize or get rid of something, and radio communications on their checklist is a high priority. Would it not be better to have their aircraft something that's irrelevant? Even if it's one piece of, any piece of ordnance that is distracted is a piece of ordnance that is not bothering you. It's not going after you. It buys you time or allows you the ability to fire maneuver, you know, or just, again, step out of the line of fire, whatever's going on. For amplifiers, E.B. radios, or whatever, the other side's technology, I would remind everyone that typically everything that the other side is carrying is micro milliamp per hour. It's tiny, it's small. be applied, but you've got to remember different elements of the circuits are all down for particular purposes. You don't see this because the radio is so small. In older pieces of equipment, the reason you have these multi-time battery packs is because you are feeding or supplying different power to different circuits in a radio transceiver. Different power output. Now it was designed what it does. Can you wash out an area? Like what you saw with the Batfaggots back in 1993 with the attack on the Branch Davidians the first day. Imagine if you will if somebody had a linear amplifier landmine in place. It would envelop and knock out anything and everything that was online. Would your equipment be off? You'd be down? Yes, it probably would do. But remember that you're already on your power base. You have your battlefield under control. You already know where you are, what you're doing. The other side is in the offensive. And when they're in the offensive, they have desperately to try to pump each other up because, number one, they're typically bullies and cowards to begin with. The only thing that gives them confidence is having somebody standing right next to them or knowing that there's somebody, maybe able to have that reinforced because it's a brain pacifier. The moment that that's knocked out, then they're in trouble. And by the way, as I pointed out, that is exactly what happened with the Batfaggots at Waco. The first day. The first day, which was day of victory, met with losses, and it was still a victory nonetheless. One of the elements of what made for that victory for it to become a reality, well, two things that are the most critical. Number one, there was one brave soul, and I have his name out here, and forgive me, I cannot do honor, but I will acknowledge his what he did. The attack, when the attack began, one young man who had not armed himself up right away was able to get to one of the M1As, some automatic 308 battle rifle. He grabbed a couple of magazines, or however many magazines, we'll never know for sure, but he recovered as many magazines as he could that were loaded. He grabbed the rifle out of the rifle rack before they got into the room, which was where the weapons were stored, which was part of an FFL, you know, storage area. for a federal firearms license. Most of you probably don't even realize that. Accessible, he grabbed one of the M1As, either a private weapon or whatever. Again, I never did determine that for sure because the young men is long dead. He went to one of the upper floor windows and when the helicopters came in and started their strafing runs, initially everybody didn't realize, oh, they're like, God, they're just gonna shoot everybody. Well, from the air, they did. The building, they didn't care if they're getting women, kids or not. They were using the choppers as gunships. you know, backed himself up to a position, loaded the first magazine, racked the action, waited, heard the chopper getting close again, turned into the window, kept himself partially covered, and dumped 20 rounds point blank face on into the first helicopter. Immediately he didn't wait to see what was going to happen. He stepped back into cover. He dropped his first magazine, reinserted the second magazine, tapped the magazine, checked the action, made sure he worked the charging handle. Waited, heard the next chopper coming in, dumped another 20 rounds into that, took that helicopter out. One person basically neutralized, now eventually they figured out where he was, there was fire on this young man and he was killed. Eventually he died. He's one of the casualties the first day, but you know what he did? Now part of this is repetition, it's kind of like being that sniper in the bell tower in, oh come on, Saving Ryan's Privates. You know, stay long enough to figure out where you are, okay? Right. Yeah. Saving Ryan's private. Anyway, the step up to the bell tower when he keeps repeating you at the very end battle, eventually I swing the guns on him and kill him. Well, what happened is the guy got all, he snagged all three helicopters. Most people don't know this. He put bullets on him, he put down two magazines in the two most critical, or the first two that he could hit. The one was a command and control chopper that was the boss of the operation doing the classic French command from the rear thing, okay? Anyway, all of them were hit. All of them went down, away from the site. Every one of them. One man with three 20 round 308 M14 mags terminated their air supremacy. Now, it's not going to happen every time, but let's point out that remember that these invaders, you know, as a backpackist here, we're an invading army, we had to fall back to re- Well, when they saw their choppers leave, it's like, where are they going? Well, of course they were trying to get the hell out of Dodge before they scutted into the earth. Okay, and they did. So, now the choppers are gone. Now it's a land battle. It's a land battle with no upper dimension. Okay? And as that chopper, first chopper gets hit, there's other fire going on from the people defending the church and home. Well, a bunch of the bat faggots got wounded. Help me, Frank! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!

Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! And then of course SOP, there's only some of these programmed in guys. And he won that linear amplifier with the seat which just washes over anything that's got a, uh, that can be done that way to help with what it is that we need to do in the future as we apply force and we apply energy. Okay? Blank them all out, then they got a shout just like anybody. Pick one out that's shouting and givers or one of them that's shouting and doing whatever. He dies next. In fact, and with that magazine, all of you have contributed. He is not getting back up. They will mag, but you know. in SOP. My red trays get all fires on that. You gotta learn to make the battlefield yours. In whatever form, whatever way, pick a direction. Do program what I do. Because the idea of re-event is true. Some of these events can be absolute feces. My people are debrief people. This is why you worked. You know, stakes were made. What went wrong? What went right? Extracted. Somebody got it. Roll parts of the considerate of, again, what is a Zebor mobile battlefield. Another thing I'm gonna point out is something that gets me is, I don't know where the hell this idea came from. It's from the movies. But guys, we lost as many battles as we won in the American War for Independence. Does everybody understand that? And there's a bunch of skirmishes we didn't win, and there's a bunch of skirmishes the other guys didn't win. On the other side. Not tit for tat. Some of the best victories of the early part of the war are the Army tries to make you forget. You wanna know why? Because it wasn't the Continental Army that did it, it was the militia, and only the militia. Take a look at the Battle of Cowpens, which by the way, some of you might have been on the the Cowpens, which is a carrier, an assault carrier, and it was named that for a reason, okay? It's one of the Continental battles of the World War for Independence. It was a militia battle, though. The significant and decisive and dynamic battle, in which on the one side, I've noticed in Mauritius, they tried to play it down, but the bottom line is it was a perfect execution, military force, what was available to the militia. That's all your BS where the regular military always tries to pump themselves up. They get older, they have to negate the idea that the citizenry has the ability to fight for themselves. The units were all militia officers who had trained from before the war. The individuals who participated were all militia that had been armed and equipped by their respective states. Pure and simple absolute militia units. Well, what could you do with a militia unit? At the back of the cow pens with all of them you had, you won. It's not the only action, by the way, that was like that. And there's no single action where the continentals were involved, where the militia wasn't heavily involved, and won or lost. Sometimes they lost. That's the bummer of the battlefield. Okay? It's just the way it works. I would point out that a lot of guys say, well, we won the war, but we lost the, you know, we won the battles, but we lost the war. Guys, we didn't win every war in the Every Battle in Vietnam. Forgive me. We didn't win every battle in Vietnam. We may have survived and gotten through it, but when you take a look at the unconventional policies and the paraconventional policies of your aggressor, they did exactly what they were supposed to do and they exacted massive tolls. Why do they call it the I angle, guys? The I-trang. Why was it called the I-trang? I always question, see everybody just, you know, assume, oh no, there's a reason that they always cover certain parts of the Vietnam War and they never cover other parts. There's a reason for that. Yeah, some of them can't tell you they're dead now. Been dead since the war actually. She takes its toll time, but doesn't wait for anybody. If we were from the middle or beginning of the war, it was a dog fight and it got a little better as far as war and mass and our side.
