A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. 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 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. 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 in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave build the land of the free? I think they just shish kaboom see her demise are being your said was correct remember your training fight Intelligence reports I'm R. Kurnkey and I'm Don Betcher One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters behind the lines in occupied territories west, south, southeast, and calm Indian Freedom Talk and microstations, CBE base stations, and ultra-mark and golden spike technologies. To the Mississippi along with Ol' Godun. Reamed a little bit, got a little bit of spittle. only for a little bit. Then it stopped. Of course, you put everything in preparation for the rain. Already caught it, as they say. And then it stopped. So like in your neck of the woods, what's the need to do when it's jumping off the wall, please? Well, on the seventh day of Year of Our Lord 2016, it's raining here now, and you could call that rain. But like the cat said to someone, I'm not going to stand out here and be soaked in a little while. And I know you're going to be soaked by the time you get where you're going. The person didn't have to go far. It was within arm's reach, it's just things where, yeah, just, all of a sudden it's gone. And then, the matrix allows it to reappear. little USB ports to up there. It's around here somewhere not far away. Only, you know, the things within your arms reach that are important to you, we've talked about that pistol. Something real close to that, you know, comes down hard real quick is there and things in too with a single motion might be a lot more humanly possible. Again, you know, it's good to an arms reach, isn't it? The fact of it. Wonder where that went doesn't work when you're looking for another magazine and I bring this only as example. The idea is to make sure that if you place it, you know where you place it and the fact that it'll be ready to roll when the time comes. This is Tom Becko. I continue to and some habits are good like where you put your stuff on your body. Mark you've talked about that. The whole group should have well all their medical if I get there, you know what I where I need to go to help you. But when you sit down in your little you know piece of the world or you you get crawled down into your you know excavation for the evening could be things that, well, they're right there and they're right there. The reason this went away for a little bit is the whole place got changed around and things in my corner and well, I didn't have as much room as I used to before, so I put it in a different place. When I'm looking for it, oh, it couldn't be over there. So again, this goes over to the things you want at hand, the things you deem to be necessary immediately, you should work those into habits. You know, few people that come close into your world, into your domain, into your cast, again, you know, there's a couple people that know that there's a gun and it's generally within arm's reach and all of this and that. I tell the radio, because we tell you to, it's a good habit to get into. And I can get up and people that come and they have no idea what is at hand, they might look around and see something hanging on the wall, a thing that looks to them like, oh, that's an antique. Or that's just, you know, something. So again, you know, what you keep at hand should you should you bill I use I bring this as example mark because it was know where it was I knew where it was for many years change and know I look for it and it's just concealed by something and well hey nobody's perfect and you what you do is you know you try to discard you try to even polish what you know our good habits right you try to even make them better don't you I yield to you and again for everybody out there Our proper planning is we know step one is determining the problem and then getting on with the solution, working towards a solution. We've mentioned Airsoft. I've actually been looking at most of the Airsoft sites. Airsplat.com. Let's see. Airsoft GI, Airsoft Station, and Airrattle.com. Airsoft GI. They do have some pretty good post 4th of July sales going on. If you are going to be training, Airsoft is an excellent solution. I highly recommend you take advantage of it. There is a little bit of everything there. You've got to watch the companies you're dealing with. One cool thing about the ones that I mentioned, Airsoft GI, Air Splat, also Airsoft Station.com and AirRattle.com all have $10 shipping or free shipping, depending on which coupon you happen to have there on the page if you pay attention and look at it. There can be a number of different options, things that can show up there at the Airsoft sites, especially right now. If you're looking for a variation of what it is you have, the only thing I think they're short. A lot of you guys have SKSs and are thinking, Mark, I want to get an SKS. They are out there, but you have to search around for them. and recently a bunch of those SKS's have been bought up for whatever reason and that's making a little more of a competition issue with trying to find the airsoft guns in tact. So, recommendation is when you're looking for a certain model. Peru is the whole of the internet, let your fingers do the walking, but a lot of the 45, a lot of the 9mm pattern guns are all pretty consistent. Look at the nomenclature determine which weapon might fit your system for training best Most important is again just get range time range time range time guys You need to do that wherever possible with whatever we can get our hands on to accomplish the task Oh, yeah, and again the solutions this way not just complaining about the problem. Oh, how did we get here? You know again. I missed and I missed again well practice practice practice That's what happens again with a rapid And again, you're putting the bullet on target repeatedly over and over and over again. That's the goal. Other people asking about airsoft. Well, the airsoft, the spring airsoft, the difference is more than the others. Pretty much all the others, gas or whatever, are repeaters. Airsoft air spring means that you shoot once, you have to re-cock it again. That's the one thing that is a different issue. But it is still good and you're focusing on hits. So the idea is that you have a muscle memory tool. you have the ability to train and you can pretty well train anywhere you want. So there is one direction and again airsoftgi.station.airrattle.com, airsplat.com. There's a lot of others, there's another one, let's see what is it, the airsoft marketplace is another one but depending where you are in the country the price on some of their shipping is like oh my goodness. So if you're in their backyard check to see what their mailing address is, see if it's close to you. eliminate that shipping supply issue because shipping costs are outrageous if they don't choose to make a deal. Just that simple. Again, pay attention there. Now, libertytreeradio.4mg.com, we were told, and it's true, we should give out the information more often, we don't do that, libertytreeradio.4mg.com and pbnpobox194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Remember that address. You can, of course, mail what you wish to there for contact purposes. If you have any questions about organization, if you're looking for particular information, and like we said, you can talk to Don about night vision. Any other questions, drop us a line this way. And you can mail down this way too at PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. I got this funny feeling that Again, with the way things are going, we've already had a flood of requests come in. I've been trying to take care of things as they appear. It's not an if, it's just a when. We're going to be cranking up things to a higher level, guys. We've got filming over the next three weeks. I've already begun that this last couple days. Some really epic locations right here in Michigan. Now, Don, we're, well, I'll tell you what, we got to do one thing. We're going to do some ear candy, got to do that. Had a request. that we didn't play. In fact, let me do it this way. We may or may not be able to make that right away, but I think we can. To make a request for music, I would point out liberty at provide dot net. Liberty at provide dot take the time plug-in. Again, through the music repertoire, you have find a name and the band. A band of the name, obviously. We're better, band of the name. There we go. If you don't name the song and if you've got a time block on it too, it'd be great of course. It's not necessarily critical, but if you get a chance, plug in, shoot us an email at liberty at provide.net with a music request and we'll put in the inventory and then you'll be in the order of battle for things to be done. And I'll play it in the morning and the afternoon if possible. Maybe split up a little bit, but we'll play it at least in the morning and the evening. So whatever you find, share it with the rest of us. on Liberty Tree Radio, on the Intel Report. Now, in fact, I played this the other day. We're not gonna give up. Now, needless to say, we're gonna end up in a conflict against these creatures to begin with anyway, so simple. Just be prepared to deal with the prop. But, you know, that's one of the things where I think I can, I think I can. There we go. I think the volume's where it belongs. If I can pull it up here a little air candy, and then, uh, Dom, I need to have you take care of a few things also. And here we go. gliding beneath the waves to the other, taking everything you could with them in the process, taking the other ship as a war prize and sailing on to the conflict. Sailing on to the future conflict. In fact, one of those battles happened in front of the French onlookers that just happened to hear of a battle at sea and it was so close. Let's go watch. Well, they did. This was one of the things that helped bring France into a heavy commitment to the war. Interestingly enough, remember that these battles took place in British and French waters. Yep. Over there. Contrary to what they try to teach you people, with all the weezer routine nowadays, elements of our car went deep into enemy lines when to back areas, well, British were having their heyday and fun. ripping our people off ships, etc. The idea was, why don't we just take the battle right back to them? Look up the definition of course there, and it's not always connected with. No. Interestingly enough, again, John Paul Jones is quite successful. The battle, of course, it's actually a series of strung out actions. The rating group was more than just the Bonhomme Richards at one point. And if you look, the way that the battle was preceded, not just the one with the Bonhomme Richards and the Dominant, and of course still sinking and losing the ship, Jones' group of Raiders who agreed the purpose was to disrupt supply and support and final production, economic industrial support to England. That's what they were going after. They've been doing that to the country. colonies for years why not do it right back to the british and with those who knew the commerce lanes and those who knew the activities stayed forward to start out there and deal with the problem and that's exactly what they did so guys said well what would we do so well you go hump them on you hey that's easier than you're right that's easier than on them but it's easier on you when you take it they'll come for you just like you're thinking i know that i know that proactive action Anyway, what I wanted to do, I want to let you take over here for a minute. Nope, we have a- BK. Can you jump in there? Go ahead, please. Okay, couple of things. One just popped up while I was waiting and the other was the reason for the call. My head while we were waiting is there's some pretty funny- some of AJ's guys were down on the border filming, you know, illegals coming across, feds standing around watching them. And the feds pounced on the reporters and grabbed all their sidearms. and held them, you know, did the informal torture thing, you know, hands over your heads for a couple hours in the sun, that kind of stuff. And then they did the piracy act themselves. They took all their sidearms and then they demanded $230 apiece to de-confiscate the firearms. So they shook them down for $230 on the spot to give them the property back that they took from them. So the piracy thing has not gone out of fashion. It's alive and well and happening, you know, right this... this minute as we speak. There's a certain element of comedy, the feds were so incompetent that one of them, confiscating the guy's pistol from his holster, was hauling on the thing with two hands and yanking and jerking at it and so on, couldn't get it out and he had to explain to her, you pushed the button on the holster there. And she finally figured out how to get her hold of the pistol and get it out of the holster. Even though it was just like the holster she was wearing, you know, she didn't know how to operate Here's the way that she cleared the pistol. She didn't take the magazine out. She just racked the slide and ejected it around and that's how she cleared the pistol. So, you know... In some worlds they call that cycling. Yeah, that's called cycling and she thought she was clearing the pistol but she just racked the next round in. So these are the people that are going to be on the other end, you know. They're not all superstars. Well that poor person that she took the gun from is lucky that he or she didn't get shot in the thigh. There's that. that they got to pay $230 to get there stolen. That's the thing that just sort of occurred to me. There's video on AJ's site and so on. The pirates gave them a receipt, well didn't they? Probably. I'm sure there's going to be a civil suit and that's good. The reason I called in is that I will be off the air tomorrow. I haven't been able to get through to you, so I'll let you know. Oh, very good. I appreciate that. Yeah, I was late laid out for trying to get done. I was in the morning today. and appreciate that. Anything else happening down there in your neck of the woods? Me busy. I'm trying to figure out why I've got an electric motor that starts at random. It's got gremlins in it. Works kind of. It works in its own mind, right? Well, it works sometimes. I cut a strip of a strip from the ceiling so that I can tell whether it's working or not. There you go. When it turns off, I don't want it just sitting there in the basement humming to it. and dead short across the power line. So I want to keep an eye on it until I figure out what's going on. Keep me entertained. So I have many things cooking. That really winds my meter too. Well, hopefully not the ammeter. I think there's probably a thermal cut off in there and it's tripping for some reason. It's a little probably two hair trigger. And maybe it will wear in and settle down. But working motor makes a huge difference. It's nice being able to blow the, run the blower again. We've been living at 19th century standards for a little while and in the steamy Midwest that's not fun. Oh yeah. The 100 year old houses were designed for that. You could open windows and get cross ventilation and so on. 50 year old houses are not designed for that. They just sort of assume the AC is always working. That's the mischief I've been up to but I wanted to call in and make sure you understood that tomorrow I will be off air. Very good. Thank you sir. And again, some of the other things. In fact, the BK kind of brought to my jog my memory like it wasn't memorable. So many of the things I've been trying to accomplish today. Most people probably saw the incident with the black woman and her boyfriend who's in the car. They had a five year old child. They were stopped by the cops for a quote unquote broken tail light. You can believe that. I'm sure it wasn't broken when they were stopped. But that little bump on the side of the car when you heard that crack, That cop made sure it was broken if not when he did that or shot the guy and killed him dead in the car. The most important thing about this incident is that the woman was on the phone and was sending information out live. And here's the thing, the gentleman had a carry permit, a legitimate carry permit, and the cop of course is fumbling and bumbling and is so busy with his hemorrhoids stuck all the way up to his throat, with his old stinker problem, that he gives contradictory orders, which is what the woman points out. She tells him, keep your hands where they are, keep your hands where they are, and then show me some ID, show me some ID. Well, what do you do? I'll be quiet on this personally, I'd stay right there. You've got a fruit loop on your hands that's giving conflicting orders to keep your hands right out where they can be seen. Reaches for his wallet and Nimrod shoots the guy four times in the arm. Of course the problem is he isn't just shooting him in the arm since he's coming at him from a right angle. The bullets go into the body, the guy flops over, he's still alive, the girl is talking. This is all covered on film and it was going on while it was happening. Oh yeah, I brought this up yesterday, yes. Nimrod, of course, well then the rest of the punks that were the cop shop, you know, of course, after harassed women. The only interesting thing is they did such a good job of murdering this guy. I hope they're taken for everything they own. I hope that they lose their houses, their cars, everything, down for letting it happen, etc. Because he, first of all, the guy did not conceal, okay, he actually stated, hey, I have a firearms permit, carrying a firearm legally. I've got ID, you know, in other words, he did everything he was supposed to do guys You see how that works and again, this is where the person did exactly what he was supposed to I don't care what color is black white pink purple. He had a carry permit He had a permit for the weapon. He was carrying and even informed the officer. Hey, I've got it I've got a carry permit. I'm carrying a gun You see how that works. Yep, and I got the law in almost every state you have mister warm the officer Yeah, and mr. Twit who of course busy barking, you know contradictory, he's caught on Philbun, why did you do that? Why did you do that? You know the worst he's trying to cover his ass now because Mr. Twitchy is, well, the reason Mr. Twitchy is, Mr. Twitchy is they've been listening to too much garbage from Homeland Security. They've been listening to much garbage from the Israeli trash to come in and tell them kill all, you know, kill all the population, they're all the enemy, you're at war, they're all the enemy, you're all at war. See, that's what I've said, you understand, they've been told they're at war with us. always at war with us that we're the enemy, that we're the peasants, that they're the royalty and of course they've been told by the other royalty all about this. If you haven't seen the videos of this you need to watch it. Of course it's being repeated all over the place right now so it's bouncing all over creation. Also the story that BK brought up, I think it's Hall, Hallmerk, a police stadium for where his reporters are arrested. I think that's the article, somebody just shot it over to me here. And I assume that there's video of it. Yeah, there is. I haven't watched any of it, so I haven't a chance to see it. I watched the one video with the man that was pulled along with the woman in the car with the child and of course the entire process of her being pulled out of the car. And then apparently them dumping her on the street. Of course they got the car and the car shut up because the person has been shot up and the whole car is bloodied up on top of everything else. But she's trying to get somebody to come and help her and pick her up. They're just going to roll her out there, which I'm surprised because again, they're probably a little slow on the uptake on that because normally they would be doing a routine on her, buying the woman one way or another for the purpose of trying to stumble her up so she doesn't nod to the situation. They can come and get her if she tries to sue. happens I hope that watching this event it's like so many the character should have been less Mr. Twitchy everybody did their part and Mr. Twitchy the dimwit slash Nimrod they hired the black uniform still went in shot the guy and murdered him the mission of the rest is to try and cover up and fake because the information went out live you know so that something we have talked about before although preferably to survive the incident um you know you don't see that calm she was in shock yeah she was not in because he died right next to her yup she was you don't please don't tell me he did don't tell me he died this way hey guys yes DC good evening but you know I mean it's gonna have happened to go through from the other direction from litigation process which will take six years don't keep and that'll be the only other option they had it might make a deal because they know they're in trouble my you on you might recognize the guy's name Assad my you he's got a... I said, I think it's Mossad Ayub. Check me on that one. I think I reversed it for some reason because you were saying, I know who it is. Yes, I understand. But any practitioners know that... I want to review the... Panty Bunch, okay. Yeah, they approach... ... stations that are active. I to Camp Emerson, also to our facilities up there at Fodley Stull New Construction. It's new, so it's interesting for everybody and they're having a lot of fun. So, good, keep it up. The station is up and on. line at Foxy, not the Ogamah Ranges, but if you leave over at Camp Nega, hit you, they're doing the same thing right now. So, I'm going to answer the weather and again, moving ahead. Everybody's got to focus right now. This is good with the other thing that happened with Hillary the Hutt. I'm hearing a much more focused attitude across the board from everybody I'm running into. Today, I was talking to one of the older gentlemen that I've known for a while, actually, from another business. He's actually stopping in there some things. It's like he said, everybody is pretty well repeating to him the same thing. I just said, wow, it looks like everybody's really kind of pissed with what they just saw happening, you know, with Washington. Oh, let me tell you, everybody I know is buying guns now. He said, everyone's tired of this. They all can see the writing on the wall. It's obvious that lying across the board, there is, they're just simply going to try and do something stupid and everybody knows it and everybody's getting ready to put them down when they do. I said, well, the thing is, tell everybody, talk to their family members in the military, talk to all their family members in any policing agency because all they're going to do is end up dead. In fact, there aren't going to be any coming home. If they go against their families and go against this country, anybody in uniform doing that, there's no coming home. There won't be any rest for them ever, even if they, in theory, think they're going to win. The revenge and the call would be the feud attitude would prevail. From that point forward everything's out the door as far as the way you've known America if they want to proceed with something else and it's going to get very... The other interesting thing about this again is Burp and Sills. Now they're talking about the idea that they're talking about the thing that the government's bought so many, you know, going to buy or is in the process of buying you know so many billion rounds of ammo. They're pointing out guys How many rounds do you think we've purchased in just this last year? I mean, for many given companies, most companies won't really give you a quote, but they'll give you a little bit of a hint, then you can pretty well track it like I've done by watching, you know, example, let's go to amomand.com, go to amomand.com, benchmark for Monday, then look at the number of cases available. They tell you right there, how many cases of the particular ammunition, how many thousand round cases do they have? come back the next day, half are gone. Come back another day, they're all gone. Or like they're down to their last six, seven or eight cases. It doesn't take long in the next so many hours and that's gone. Well, if you figure that flow and you watch that happening times how many different calibers, et cetera, and that's just one company, now calculate that times how many different providers out there. There are so many that are set, there's so many bulk, you know, FFL type dealers, et cetera, there are so many people that deal in munitions in this category and they of course well have been moving a lot of material. They'd be the first to tell you yes they are in gear. It is a hassle for everybody again. All I can say is make a point of buying ammunition every chance you get and plug in what needs to be plugged in to get the job done. I can't say anything other than don't hesitate don't wait because it is going to continue to become a very intense situation. The other thing is that the amount that the government is buying, I really could care less about it. People use that to try and say, show you, oh my God, it's the old bad it is. It's like, wow. So in other words, that's that other one billion rounds, because you know they're going to use some. But that's that other one billion rounds that isn't going to get burned up when you frag your vehicle. It's not going to get fried when you toast your buildings. It's the billion you're going to capture and use to finish off the difference, right? Is that what you're talking about? Is that the billion? I would point out all the stuff that we've purchased. We don't have to sign out for that. We don't have to wait for it. We don't have to... All the equipment material that you guys have been purchasing, everything that you guys have bought in the way of ammunition, immediately available. Now we're talking about that? Yeah, as a matter of fact, we got off on a little bit of an angle here. I wanted to do this. Somebody else asked me this. Don, we still have enough time. I was in emails over night picking. Night vision, okay, not night vision, but thermal. We want a site in the system. We're using a thermal weapon site system. go through the process, let's go from turning on the, you know, we're going to take it out of the box, what, by step, what are we going to do to accomplish that? Because is there any special signature system we need to be looking for? You know, again, do we set color patterns to a more brilliant level? How is it that we cite the system in when we look at a weapon, mounting it on a weapon's platform? Forgive me. Well, the device will thumbs go down onto your Picatinny or your Weaver, you know, your 1 inch or your 7 8's respectively. It'll just grab onto that because it's purple. There's a gun sight, so mount is, you know, built right in. It's integral, you know. Now, you want to zero that if you can pull the bolt out. Well, you can bore sight. This will get you there pretty quick if you've ever bore sighted a gun before. There are a number of guns that you can, you know, pull the bolt out and look down and kind of center up that 100 yards on and And then you turn on your thermal, be it day or night, and you look through it and you hardly even see the target because, well, it's the same temperature as everything else out there. It's really disappointing. Now that gets me into something again. Do we want to use some? Oh yeah. Okay, go ahead. We need contrast, don't we? Right. There's a number of ways to cure that. A cheap one would be a nickel pop bottle filled with hot water. Guess what you know you hit that target you have a big hot water splash behind it to replace that target again So you want to be you know? Boresight the gun you just just don't want to be blazing away here you want to feel you know like well man I pull the trigger I hit the target right or I pull the trigger and then I only make two more clicks adjustment I think I'm going to hit it and two more clicks after that and I'm right in the center again You're going to need that well It's going to have to be some heat against some cooler background out there, and that's that's a good point to be made we've brought it Well, it can be a you know, that's to sight into but you know Then you have to walk down there and you figure well by looking at the remains if there's anything that Well, I think the bullet went in here oriented and if you can see where the banal then you have a good idea where you hit the you know Full that used to be full of hot water now if you want to get real specific here, you know You could measure that water to like ninety eight point six and if you wanted to get real specific here You could line up like someone lines up tin cans at the or you know duck you could line up hot water you could line up a and shoot them one two three down the line Initial shots that you want to bring to bear on the target right point of impact versus point of aim Well, there's a way to get there It's pretty quick again with the bore sight and the gun is good, you know bagged down to where it's on a you know When you're pretty, you know steady you can confirm that boresight over and over and you go up and you turn the... And again, if it's pretty bending by the target or anything pointing right at the center of the target, you might not even see that. It's almost surreal if you're used to looking at green screen and seeing details and seeing the tops of the grass moving and the trees and whatnot and other things. These are almost all the same temperature. Grass is almost exactly the same temperature. You hardly see it move. If you're looking at the grass and the road, you're going to see the difference between temperature. You'll see a road. You'll see a car moving down the road. We've talked about this a lot of times. And if it's a white truck and black print, you might be able to read, depending on, well, was it just in the sun for a while? You might be able to read those numbers or that unit identification on the door or whatever. That's going to be pretty slim chances if it's a camouflage truck and subdued letters. You won't be able to read detail with thermal. but green screen will do that for you. But green screen won't look at the heat of the wheels and the motor and the muffler as it's moving away, you know, something that thermal does and green screen does less and less effectively as the light level goes down and the target gets farther and farther away. Now, we've talked about this before and what a pixel represents and you can get a target so far away that it just looks like a few pixels just wiggling out there or moving ever so slightly and eventually if it's walking toward you eventually it looks like a blob and eventually I think it's got arms and a head and those legs and eventually you've got enough pixels representing something that well I'm certain that that's a human being. Green screen works the same way. Green screen though is dependent on the light level. If there's a full moon you're going to be able to see a lot farther. That's one end of the scale to the other. Now you want to talk about walking into a factory basement. heavy canopy, you know, into the dark of the woods where when you look up you even see a full moon. So now you're in real dark. Any first, second, third or fourth you're going to be wanting to turn on unless you just sit and wait and are content with short, short ranges. You're going to want to turn on that illuminator. But if you get in that position with thermal, you're just going to be looking through the tree stumps, you know, the trunks of the trees and out even into the next field. Green screen won't bet for you or look through a stand. of trees for you. It will show you detail that the thermal won't. And that is a strong key for the aforementioned reasons. Decalling and the ability to see, oh, just that water balloon over there, that's a temperature. You know, that water balloon could be about three inches in diameter, which is above, you know, someone's forehaul. You can see the top of their head, maybe the warm gun. You get my drift there, right? Bring that down to shots like that. Now you're not doing bad, are you? It's a way to get there. Again, it doesn't have to be just one pot bottle, but if you splatter it onto a background, you could move the back farther away. As an example, if it were a sandy hill and most of that water fell behind and onto the ground, your target impact area, the thermal would hardly see it. It would be minimal influence on the next one you choose to target. Now, we've talked about zeroing green screen also, and you know, you can daytime with the pinhole cover-up. And you'll probably be on paper by the time you pull the knife off at night. You'll be really close. Sometimes you'll be, you know, within 10 inches of paper, right there like a bullseye almost, at 100 yards. I advise you to bore sight that gun first, not just, you know, go out there and spray and pray because while you find it, sometimes you have to move that targeting, you know, that portion around. And that's what happens on a lot of green screen. not like American scopes. We've talked about this before where as you make adjustment and make more adjustment, even the difference as example from 100 to 1000 yards, that's a lot of, you know, click. You don't see the scope. You don't see the crosshairs move. The green screen, a lot of night vision devices that are again green screen and thermal, you'll see the point of impact move on the screen. You'll see the, you know, where you're supposed to aim to move on the screen. Some people want to cure that with adjustable mounts and that's their preference, but you know you get used to this real quick. You know that's a warning as much as I've had a couple people call, hey Don is that supposed to move? Yeah. This is another reason why and we've talked about this sometimes you might take a or you might have heard of someone getting a scope gun that well you have minimum to center and you can shim it to the gun so that well you move that fame to the from the center so you have a lot of adjustment underneath you and say for greater ranges right. That's why a lot of manufacturers of 50 calibers and scope mounts for guns will put an inclination in the rail. Sometimes 15, sometimes a half a minute, you know, 30 minutes of angle of degree and sometimes a whole degree. 60 minutes of angle. Now that 60 minutes of angle when you bolt it onto a 50 caliber, that's generally for like 900 to, you know, 1800 yards and beyond, you know. So that bore gets lifted up for hours. That's a bore setting for way out there, so to speak. Again, you know, if you're not really you're having a aim point move around on the screen, you might want to talk to a gunsmith and ask him about shimming and ask him how much it might cost. Then you might get used to having that aim point move real quick. Not a whole lot of sniffs are really skilled at that. That used to be something a lot more common, but you're hardly hear of it anymore. People don't mind putting a scope on a gun and taking a quarter of their left windage out. Well, I've got it zeroed now, but they had to go 20 clicks to the left. And, you know, on some sculpt setter or even half of your windage adjustment, there are reasons why some people might want to, uh, and you know, here's another big hint, you know, if you do that to a gun and you paid that much money to have that done, you're probably going to leave that scope on the gun, aren't you? You might say that it's, it's embedded with that. It's part of that team now, right? Okay. Hey, prompting, uh, you want to see something you might want to shim to your gun or not. I, I had to do that, Mark. But. You'll see gun sites and you'll see green screen gun sites and thermal gun sites and you'll see goggles and other things and binoculars and binoculars but you'll see gun sites there of all types and varieties. You can use it digital in the daytime and you can use that thermal in the daytime. So if you website ydtoe.us and if you have any questions about anything you see there, give me a call. My number is 231-796-8458. Again, 231. Why dealing with a stranger when Don Betcher is available. Now the neat thing about the thermal targeting guys is that there's a number of different tricks that you can use to create unique patterns or unique target options. Anyway, interesting thing about it is that the kinds of shapes of bottles and containers You could even, theoretically, just to get an X marks the spot, how about a jointer with PVC pipe just stuck together? If you hit it, it's going to cost you a few pennies, but there again, there can be either tape where replaced is needed. I wouldn't even necessarily bother gluing it together. But a number of different optical targets can be made with something that's heated or activated. Another crude-rood solution done while they're off-season are head warmers. Just if you get in a nice sunny place, if you've got a... I can't underscore a safe place to shoot. Even a big white board, a big hunk of rolled paper out onto a plywood or something with a wide hunk of gorilla tape and an X. And if it's out in the sun, that black tape is going to get really hot and that black tape is going to show up on your thermal. and it's going to be something you can shoot at for a while and eventually you'll want to put more black tape on but that won't do any good unless again for a while this is a way to just walk out there and shoot and then just walk away keeping your time short. What I did was I took a 3 foot and then I went back and I got your green screen right? Oh yeah. You can walk it in once you see where you're hitting and walk it in the thermal and that gives you about three inch. Cool. You get. Yeah. Thank you. The other thing is if you're if you're shooting at something that's like, again, the gorilla tape, you know, that's three inch wide, you can shoot for the intersections of the tape and then, you know, like the top north corner is and try to walk it in and then shoot for the other corners if you haven't mauled them up too much. You know what I mean? Like it's kind of like thinking about, you know, some some of the small targets or in particular like BB gun targets. You put one piece of paper on the target board there and you've got five targets. Alright, everybody out there, again. God bless the republic. Death to the New World Order.

It's gained a whole new popularity. The song isn't any more popular, but the flower's doing real good. I was flower grew wild on the farm and we never know what it was called. Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed. I didn't give it much thought. I was out there talking to my brother and I reached down for a weed to chew on. Things got fuzzy and things got blurry and then everything was gone. But I knew it'd be the hell out of Smith and Berlant. I come to my brother there and he said what's wrong with your eyes? I said I don't know I was chewing on the weed. He said let me give it a try. Spent the rest of that day and most of that night trying to find my brother Bill. Caught up with him about six o'clock the next morning. Making, singing on the windmill. He said he blew up there. Had to fly up and get him down. He's about half crazy. The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds and we put them in the sun to dry. And we mashed them up, barely cleaned them all, put them in the corn compound. Slokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a happy one. We never seen no harm. Oh, he thought it was kinda handy. Take a trip and never leave the farm. They go puff up wildwood weed, next thing you know, you just wanderin' around behind the little animals. All good things got to come to an end, it's the same with the wild woodweeds. One day a speller from Washington come by and spied him and turned white as a sheet. Then they dug and they killed all our cute little weeds. Then he drove away and we just smiled and waved. Sittin' there on that sack of seeds. Oh come back now you hear. Wait, you can call if you've had a...
