That's all. How in the heck can these guys do this for three straight hours? You know? I guess we'll take a break. I guess we'll take a break. See, oh there we go. Okay, cool. So anyways, alright, we're back. This is the Intel report. Okay, so good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is now the evening intelligence report with butter knife and various assorted accomplices. One day closer to victory for all our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories in various compass directions, because I don't know the compass code. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Indiana Freedom Talk radio, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. Bottom of Soggy, Florida, across the arc to the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include the pit, the third, and the fifth, and our friends in the Civil War state of Colorado. Waving to the left coast, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, back to the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies, where the restaurant crews, OK, teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium of retired telecommunications workers work on the Golden Spike project. It is to September 2016. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the Intelligence Report. And that makes this Quartermaster's Corner. Normally we have Mark along with, but he's got other things occupying himself. So I am here semi-solo, as mentioned, with a gang of accomplices who can throw in their two cents anytime they want to. I hate to break up their BK. I apologize. I was away from the board at the top of the... So you guys are just going to continue through and help. We've got it. We've got it. Don't worry about it. Thank you guys. It often do your stuff. All right. OK. So a couple of things I wanted to mention. We have more stuff to talk about this week than we could possibly pack into an hour or maybe even two. Whenever I say that, I zip through the material and wonder what to do with the second half hour. The other times I think I have nothing on hand and we get only halfway through the list of nothing and the hour is gone. So we will see how it works out. I will mention, especially since Joe is here, that a week or two ago I put in my order for some garlic bulbs because this is a seasonal thing. We need to have these pre-ordered because they vanish. I put in my order to groworganic.com. There are other vendors. One of them of note is territorialseed.com. Joe can probably add others as well as species recommendations or categories. I'll invite you to do that in just a moment. What I did was I said, okay, enough of this gardening hubris. I should know better than to think I know what I'm doing in choosing species. I'll just get smart here and order the assortment from Grow Organic. I will plant all of them and we'll let the garden decide which one the garden likes. Some will come up earlier, some later, some will like the soil, some won't. And I'll let it sort it out for itself. That's an approach we can take. The others are we can choose hard and soft and different varieties and whatnot based on climate and preference, et cetera. Joe, can you elaborate on the available varieties and types of garlics and maybe you know of other vendors of note that people might want to look into? Well, okay, first things first with garlic, the best vendor that you could possibly get folks is the farmer down at your farmer's market. Wherever in the heck that is, the farmer down at your farmer's market, even if they've grown that garlic with chemicals and all kind of bad stuff, if you grow each clove out over the course of the next, I don't know, nine, ten months in an organic fashion, it's not chemically uh... induced anymore you're now growing organic uh... the other thing i'll say you know is that if you can't do that if you don't have a farmer's market or you don't want to be seen in public right now they got those no concealed firearms uh... no concealed weapons signs all around now you can order them online uh... and and i'll tell you There's different varieties, you know, you got the hard neck, you got the soft neck, you got the rocamboles and all kinds of artichoke type garlics and purple stripes. Here's the deal. You want a garlic that's going to work for you. You don't want to plant a garlic this fall that you then have to hurry up and harvest late spring. Okay, so what I always recommend is go with with an early summer variety of garlic Okay, if you have the opportunity to look at all the different types and what I really like my favorite type of garlic to recommend to people that are trying to grow garlic themselves for the first time it's a variety called music music like yeah the sound of music and so these early summer varieties can be picked up usually late May, June to late June. And it works out well for you. And then at that point in time, you can plant something else to get yourself a second summer crop, a quick cash crop of radishes or something like that. And so the music garlic variety is probably the best one. Now, if you want hot, I mean, I'm talking hot garlic now. This stuff is going to burn your tongue off if you try to eat it raw. Then you want to go with something like your purple glazer variety of garlic, your purple Italian. Anything that's got the word purple in it or one of my favorite hot garlics for real hot salsa is the Georgian fire. It comes from the country of Georgia overseas. I know that Speaking of the country of Georgia, I know that George from Texas will probably really eat that kind of garlic up. And so, a Georgian fire is another variety. But... In your garlic contentment, don't forget that now is also the time to pre-order onion sets, shallots, French shallots, gray shallots, and things like that so that you can grow those yourself as well over the course of the winter. And of course, most of these crops that we're talking about, these all basically go dormant. They stop growing during the winter time and then they begin again as the spring Comes and and they kind of perk back up and you don't need to cover them or anything like that I mean garlic is pretty hardy all the way down to USDA zone believe it's 4 or 5a 4b or 5a and so it's it's good stuff if you get your Siberian variety of garlic grow organic comm I know they have them they probably still have them in stock tonight although After you guys get done with them. They probably will not be your Siberian varieties of garlic are designed for your your your northern latitude your very very cold temperatures even all the way up in Canada's a Siberian variety So anyways, that's what I can tell you about it Just look, if you didn't understand anything what I said but you want to grow your own garlic, order your garlic now because it will not be there in two weeks. Yeah, by the time they're actually shipping it, it will all have been sold because of all the pre-orders and whatnot. So you want to get a pre-order and if, you know, if the spouse drops the hammer on you and says, no, you don't, you can always cancel the order. But, you know, get them in ahead of time. So you're getting in line, you're getting in there and get your name on the list while the list is still being populated. Yeah, I was talking to Patty over at Peaceful Valley Farms earlier today and she said that all the this is groworganic.com and She was saying that basically all the garlic and and onion pre-orders and shallots and stuff. They're all going to go out starting in October so Right, so you know that's that's an almost Halloween type thing You know get the garlic in and then then start go buying candy or whatever, you know if you like that holiday I like that holiday mark doesn't like it very much But oh well at any rate if you haven't done it by Halloween then you're getting late So you know plan on you know a couple of weeks before then is probably when that stuff will appear in your mailbox Candy candy candy candy candy Oh And you know garlic is actually we were talking last hour if you guys caught the militia town hall meeting We were talking about this trace element. It's called selenium. Yes, why people get gray hair because they have a selenium deficiency People who have something called cancer tend to have a high selenium, these kind of alternative methods of treatment of cancer. They need high selenium in their diet and garlic is one of the root crops that God or whoever or whatever has put on our planet. These kinds of crops folks, You have trace elements of selenium. I mean, the only way you're going to get selenium is by eating it or taking it in a supplement form. Now supplements are going to be hard to get once everything turns turtle, and you can't get your selenium supplements through your multivitamin. What we know, and this is based on a research that was done in 1995, and it's basically the benefits of cancer prevention by high selenium garlic, and the benefit of preventing cancer, having this garlic, is dependent primarily on the action of selenium. So this is a peer-reviewed study in their research journals that they were forced to admit, Carcinogenesis 1995, November 16th version, and the pages are 2649 through 52. The bottom line here on this research is, based on the results of several biological responses, it appears that the ability of the high selenium garlic to protect against tamorigenesis, that means development of tumors, cancerous tumors, is primarily dependent on increased intake of selenium provided by the vegetable. They probably wouldn't allow that study to get published today, but that was 20 years ago and they had not locked down the system quite as much. Exactly and if you guys you know want to know who that is it's IP and then lisk it and lisk You know obviously from overseas those were the doctors in charge of that study carcinogenesis 1995 efficacy of cancer prevention by high selenium garlic So yeah, the kind of stuff we talk about here. There's multiple layers for it You know mark will come on and talk about reloading and he will talk about You know leafletting and things like this and encourage you guys to do that. There's reasons why he's encouraging you to do that for your benefit, for our benefit as a militia. But maybe we can't be as specific but you can read between the lines. Well luckily in this world so far I Garlic isn't illegal yet, but it can definitely help you prevent against cancer. So let's start getting garlic in our diets now It'll help us become stronger and more durable and vigorous fighters. Yeah, yeah regulates it. Yeah We got yes, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah real quick. This is BC. You just spiked me an idea Maybe as a possible future you might consider on your show Tuesday nights speaking about Different vitamins and nutrients and things of that nature as well. It's a good idea I worry about turning people off with too much technical information, and I don't know what your take on it is. I mean, obviously, that's something that you would be interested in. I just don't know if that would turn people off, kind of like how if somebody's talking about, I don't know, night vision or reloading for three hours straight. You know some people who aren't in the night vision or don't need it or or reloading it like yeah But but maybe maybe for some part of the hour sure I mean I think that that's maybe you could just incorporate on occasion when you bring up a Specific plant or a vegetable or a fruit you could bring up or emphasize the abuse of it Things that yeah, you could organize it in different ways. You could say okay tonight We're talking about XYZ vegetable and it provides this and that or you could say, you know Hey, if you're looking for vitamin this and that, you know the following vegetables do it and you know spend five minutes in the program You don't make anybody's eyes glaze over too much and you know You could probably do 20 programs in a row throwing five minutes in on the topic each time. How's that? Yeah, just like you just did with the selenium. I think, you know, just kind of incorporating things in that way kind of naturally as they come. I think that's certainly doable. And of course, I want to hear, you know, I want to hear from people. Joe from the Carolinas at gmail.com or or check me out on Twitter. You know, Joe from the Carolinas. I mean, I want to hear from you guys out there that are listening because the only reason I'm doing this every Tuesday and every Friday is because you guys are listening. If you all ain't out there, there's no sense in me taking hours out of my life to do it. I'd rather. You know, be out in the garden making more garden beds. But nonetheless, I'm glad to do it because this is a source of knowledge and intelligence that I want each of you people out there to have. And I'm not the authority. I have some knowledge, but just like Carl from Virginia, you know, he talked about his B issue. Carl from Virginia as far as beekeeping is concerned which Katie brought up He is the expert as far as I'm concerned, you know when it comes to that matter. So I like people calling in even if they have a little niche interest in terms of growing food and sustaining ourselves. I really like how people step up to the plate and just kind of delve into one subject and just kind of hammer it home. I mean that's how we do it folks because monoculture, big ag, big agribusiness, they're doing the exact same thing and you see their ads on TV all the time. Yeah, another possibility is, you know, if you did a like a five minute slice of every program on some vegetable or some vitamin or whatever the case is, wrap it up with with a recommendation of anybody interested in this, this, that and the other book are good sources on this material and then go on. You know, and if you hit that every time for, you know, 20 times, then a certain percentage of people is going to You know, go out and grab a copy of that and become more adept in the topic. And it doesn't have to be painful. It doesn't have to go on for 45 minutes every time. Well, you know what I'm going to have to do? I'm going to have to figure out how to become one of those, you know, Amazon, I don't know, affiliates or something. So like if you click here. Like Joe from the Carolinas gets a penny because you bought the book he talked about on the air. I'm really tired of giving people free business and LTR is not getting anything in response. I know Mark does that with ammunition and firearms and he's done that for a while. And here we are struggling to get over $100 for crying out loud for the end of the year bill, which is up due at the end of this month, folks, at the end of September. And so I feel like... I feel like that's a good idea, but I don't want to linger too much because we're going to make other people rich and we're going to be sitting here, down here at the bottom, scrapping seconds off the floor. It certainly can be a little bit depressing to take a chunk of time out. There's things I could be doing right now, rather than allocating every Friday evening to this, plus a certain amount of preparation time. I get paid $0.00 and 0 cents, and I'm not expecting anything, but here we are spending time and resources and so on on behalf of trying to save all your hairy butts out there, not to put it too gently. And we don't always see much indications that people are moving. Now, you know, every once in a while somebody calls in on my hour and, you know, I rejoice. Hey, somebody's actually listening. But, you know, we're all exerting ourselves making sacrifices, expending some resources and so on, on behalf of other people without any expectation of anything in return. And we would certainly appreciate some indication that we're actually getting to people and, you know, helping them out at some point. Exactly, exactly. I agree with you there 100 percent, BK. But you've got to remember now in your category, or Joe's, or or even in mine, it's a ministry. We are there to serve individuals. If you can even see them, you're going to be wondering, are they listening? Sometimes you might actually see somebody sleeping over them, but is this registering with them? Is there going to be a return? But we've got to remember, what we are doing is a ministry, and a ministry is we are there because of the tronics, gardening, produce, and actual ministry of serving people with God's Word. ministry and it's all a service. Well you're a little more altruistic than I am. I'm just trying to save all their hairy butts so that I don't have to live in a communist gulag with barbed wire all over the place and look forward to another thousand years of mankind living under the the heel of a jackboot. So we have slightly different approaches to this stuff. Come on, guys, lift a finger on your own behalf or you'll deserve to be turned into livestock and slaughtered by these vile filthy monsters. Exactly. Well, the ministry that Liberty Bible Hour provides gives the people the ability to not fear one knows. Well, I'll say it again. If everybody out there sent in just $1. that was listening to the archives, that was listening to it live. Just $1 to each of us that have put our life into this. Because I've been doing this for a while now, helping out at the car and doing the archives, doing the broadcasts, helping Ed run the station, and running indianafreedomtalkradio.com. the number of people that are out there showing up on the numbers wise versus the number of people that actually get involved is way different. And if everybody out there just sent in a dollar to each of us, just once in a while, we wouldn't have the problems that we have, you know, keeping things running and getting new equipment and stuff like that. We wouldn't even have to ask for donations most of the time. Yeah, I recently sent Spike a few pennies, but you know if I told you my annual income you'd look at me and you'd say, BK, you idiot, what are you doing on the air? You should be attending to your business for a change, you know. How can you possibly live indoors and eat food? So, you know, come on guys. Yeah, I know exactly where you're coming from, BK. It's the same thing going on here in upstate South Carolina on my end as well. And I'm glad that Spike reminded me. to send me an email on Conway. I was hoping that you hadn't because I hadn't received anything in the mail. No, I haven't sent you anything because I didn't have a way to send it. Send me the contact info email was. Okay, that means he lost nobody took it. That's the only thing I was worried about. What I needed and the goal was met, so that's what I was looking to do. I wasn't looking for anything extra. No, no, no, no, no. Just take it. Just send it to me and take it and put it towards whatever you need. Will do. I'll get a hold of you. Hey, Butter knife. Yes. I think somebody just called in to hop on air. Okay, go ahead. Do we have a caller? I think somebody pinged in about two minutes and 40 seconds ago from the Midwest region, I think it was. Maybe just listening, but we have been asking people to call in this evening on the 2nd of September, for crying out loud on Tuesday. Gosh, it's already September. There she goes. Go ahead. Hi, guys. Is this an open forum to discuss anything? Yes, this is Quartermaster's Corner and we are very flexible about stuff so you can jump in and add your two cents. Go ahead, what's on your mind? Okay, I was just wondering, does anybody have any suggestions on storing potatoes because we're about at the stage where, you know, maybe within a month we'll be digging them up, but mine turned into spiders. I put them in the basement, but apparently they're getting too much light. Does anybody have any knowledge on that? On a good story? Oh yeah, that's right up Joe's alley. He's covered that recently and let's cover that again. Go ahead, Joe. Thanks. Hey, Misty, how are you doing? I'm doing good, Joe. How are you? I'm doing quite well. I like your question. I mean potatoes is where it's going to be at. It's not going to be, you know, it's not going to be in tomatoes, even though 73% of the gardening world only grows tomatoes. I love them too. But for sustainability and survival, we need to grow and keep and preserve potatoes. Now here's my thing. All right. Here's with the potatoes. We've got to put these potatoes in a container. That is very well ventilated. So one version of that might be those banana boxes the banana boxes that you get from the supermarkets are cardboard boxes they got holes in them and they've got some paper and then other than that it's basically just one hole in the bottom one hole in the top and So we want to keep our banana boxes of potatoes away from sunlight out of the Sun zero light zero And the temperature needs to be about 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Okay, so keep them in the basement. The other thing is, this is the most important part other than what I just told you about storing potatoes. If you can't find the banana boxes and you're going to put them in a bag or, you know, like a burlap bag or something like that, what you do... is you wrap each individual potato, and I know this takes a lot, you wrap each individual potato in some kind of a mesh fabric so they're not touching each other. And as long as it's a dark environment, you can hang that kind of conglomeration of potatoes, none of which are touching each other, you can hang that in a 45 to 55 degree Fahrenheit environment like a basement or a root cellar or something like that, and they'll be fine. They'll store quite well. Now the problem with storing potatoes they go bad when they start touching each other They release a gas and then that opens things up It opens the skins of the potatoes up your end up you end up losing that starch you lose those calories you get rodents in there And then you start thinking my goodness gracious I don't want to eat nothing that I've just seen a mouse tooth coming out of you know and so You know what I mean? And so, it's better to protect your harvest than over protect it. One of the best things that you can use that I found and other people out there even on the line now or listening might have a better idea than me is actually a panty hose. Yep, yep, and so what you do is you you put a potato down one of the legs all the way down in the foot of that pantyhose and you you knot it off or you can tie a little string around it and then you put another one down and you tie a string around that so you got these little bulges coming out of the Coming through the pantyhose, but there's no holes cut in the pantyhose The reason I'm saying pantyhose is because it's a very meshy porous fabric and that expands and contracts easily. It doesn't require you to do anything. And over the course of two, three, four, five, six months, especially if you got your Yukon gold potatoes or your russets especially, over the course of several months or a half a year, what's going to happen is naturally the potatoes that are separated from each other are going to shrivel a little bit. They're going to shrivel and some of them are going to have little sprouts, little eyes, and they're going to turn into new plants in the pure dark, okay? Pure dark. 45, 55 degrees Fahrenheit once again. And so that's normal. That's not anything bad. Now if you start seeing green potatoes... When you try to go out go down there, and you're gonna make some soup or what have you The green ones you don't want to eat there They are poisonous of any green in your potatoes are poisonous But you will see naturally in brown or dark colored potatoes with the skin still on folks We don't want to deskin our potatoes when we're putting them in there for storage. You'll see a little shrivel. A little shrivel, a little pruniness, as we could say, like what your fingers look like when you get out of a nice long Epsom salt bath. That's normal for storing potatoes. But the most important thing, other than temperature, is that each potato is separate from the one next to it. People get into problems when they just have piles and piles and piles. Okay, here's something that occurred to me. One is that one of the old techniques used to be to store them in barrels and sand. Of course, that was a very low-tech environment when they did that. But another one that occurs to me is that most of us don't have a place that's 40 or 45 degrees. Even the basement and so on tends to be somewhere around comfortable shirt sleeves in most people's houses. Could we do something with an old fridge like you know, have a desiccator pot in there to suck out any moisture that accumulates so it doesn't get too damp. Could we wrap them in bits of newspaper or something like that and stack them in an old fridge? Have you heard of improvisations like that? Does it work? Does that not work? Yeah, it works. I mean, that kind of a thing does work. You just need to make sure you have some airflow. So you're gonna have to open the door once a week or something, huh? Either that or you can route out, you know, you can drill out like a hole in the top part of it and then a hole in the, um, like toward the back and then a hole in the bottom part of it, wherever your bottom is going to be. Just so you have some airflow going in different directions. I know somebody else is just unmuted probably on this issue. Go right ahead. Yeah, it's Katie again. Hi Misty, if you're still there by the way. Hey Katie, how are you? Good, good. Yeah, I wanted to, since we're on the topic of potatoes, Joe, you had mentioned you don't want to peel those potatoes, you know, when you store them. I know from the nourishing traditions by Sally Fallon, there's a little note in there about not peeling your potatoes when you cook them because most of the, you know, vitamins and minerals are just under the peel. Anyway, just a little side note. I don't know if you practice that or not Joe, you know leaving your skins on your potatoes I always eat the skins and that never ever yeah I mean even if you take the skins off you can still kind of make them you could fry them up or whatever I mean you can make them into something else net all your vitamins minerals and nutrients and most of your vegetables out there are in the skins That's why I'm a big fan of baking the potatoes because you know you do it right you just slice everything up you know the center of the skins everything else and you know it all just down the hatch so you know 100% of the potato. I also just wash my potato really good scrub and I leave the skin on and go on and do it like I would do a peel you know but you're and make like cream potatoes but if I do have to peel them I do feed them to my chickens. Well, that's good. So you're getting the nutrients back through the egg or meat eating process too. Okay, before we leave that topic, can you touch the topic of curing the potato? How do you mean curing? Yeah, you have a procedure of treating the potato before you put it into storage. It involves not washing it but brushing it off and like that. Do you remember? Gotcha. Yeah, you want to, with your potatoes as well as your garlic or any of your root crops, You basically want to make sure that the vegetable that you've got is dried for the most part, so we're not harvesting that during the rain. And we just let it sit out, okay? And so we might take a kitchen table or a card table or one of them, you know, fold up camping tables that you can get. And we're going to put all of our, let's say, potatoes and carrots and stuff like that. So we're going to put them all out. And they're gonna be dried, okay? And they're gonna be dried overnight maybe over the course of like two days if it's really wet and the humidity's high. And then we're just gonna shake our potatoes and carrots off. We're just gonna shake them off. We're not gonna, and garlic, we're not gonna do much with our fingers. We don't wanna smear that dirt and soil and all that stuff into it. But we just brush it off. And if you've got, um, Like like a horse hair a brush or you've got like a brush to shine your shoes or heck you've got a blush Brush, you know for your face ladies. I mean that kind of thing you can use that to knock dirt off especially the garlic but we really don't want to cause any kind of bruising or injury at all to the flesh, to the outside of this potato, for example, that we are going to preserve. And so that's getting it ready. Now, there's a whole other process that goes with getting it ready to plant again, and that's called That's CH, not SH folks, even though that might be where your mind goes. Or maybe it's just me. But anyways, that's later on down the line. And the truth of the matter is that as long as you clean off your potatoes in that manner, you just shake it and let everything kind of fall out of it, the bad stuff's going to fall out. You want to look at your potatoes, just make sure there's not big clusters of mud and things like that. Inevitably, when you harvest a lot, and when I say a lot, if you're on a farm and you're harvesting about four to five to six hundred pounds of potatoes, all right, you want to make sure that when you're starting to store them, You need to make sure that every row of storage, so maybe you put them on racks or something, you want to make sure that there's no potatoes in that rack when you're going to put them in. There's no potatoes that are especially wet or especially muddy. Those can be basically fed to the chickens or fed to the worms. So we want perfect looking potatoes as best we can. Coming into the mix when we're going to prepare them to store We don't want any potatoes that are little that we don't that don't even look Appetizing and so that's a little bit that I can give you the other thing I'll say and I heard this from one of our friends I'm not even gonna claim. I'm not gonna claim credit for this because I'm not this smart Somebody had said that what they do is they've got one of them little pancake air compressors that BK's talked about on this hour quartermaster's corner before. There's little air compressors and what they'll do is they'll have their potatoes and every potato they'll just shoot it with high PSI with a bunch of air out of that air compressor. So instead of filling up their tires, they're shooting soil off of their potatoes and then they leave them to dry and then they're ready for storage. I think that's pretty genius to me and I don't even, that's not me. I mean, you guys teach me that kind of stuff. Wow. Yeah, that can be convenient or just a paintbrush or whatever you want to use, but yeah, no fingers. Well, that's an interesting thing too right there. And if you don't mind before we switch or if you got to go, the gentleman who was saying something about back in the day, they used to put them in sod and sand. even the refrigerator thing, I understand that too, so that would be left outside, correct? Well, Joe was saying that you really want to achieve 40-45 degrees and my thought with the refrigerators was that most of us don't have a root cellar that gets that cool. So I was wondering if an old fridge might do the job because it can get that cool but it can get damp inside. So he was saying, okay, well, maybe you want to drill a couple of ventilation holes and just put up with some thermal electrical inefficiency in the sake of ventilation. So these are all just sort of speculations on techniques that we could make do for those of us who do not have a nice chilly root cellar. Okay, and one other question I was going to ask. Okay, Joe, you were talking about the root cellar and miles down the road at a hunting lodge I work at, he has a root cellar and a team together. We're getting our meat birds. But he does have a root cellar. Now, are you saying Uh, once we've got to go in and clean it, I don't think it's been used in years upon years. Are you saying then you would do the same thing with storage? If I didn't go with the panty hose, I understand that part in my basement. But if I went with the roots so hardless, do not let those touch each other. You got it exactly and and absolutely do not allow apples into the mix because apples when they're stored Especially in bushel form apples release more of that gas that causes decomposition We don't have apples here in Kansas not okay. I got your money. Oh, thank you so much You're welcome. It has too much wind on the plains over there. You know, the main thing is shielding things from the cold this coming winter. And I think, you know, where the plains are, I mean, the main thing you want to make sure you have set up outside that root cellar in order for it to be efficient and effective is going to be some windbreaks because you're going to get an airflow in a properly set up root cellar on the Great Plains states no matter where you are. you're going to get some air flow. So it's okay to put up some windbreaks outside there. What we don't want is we don't want any insects getting in there. And so make sure when you go in to clean that root cellar out, you look up top on the top back wall and there should be a pipe. And that pipe needs to be covered with the thinnest possible screen that you can get if it's not already. and then you look around at the base, and you may need to even dig out the base, especially if there's like straw and stuff. You dig out the floor, take the whole floor and just kind of brush it away and see what's under there. There should be some, a hole or holes around that floor. And make sure those are covered up as well with the thinnest window screen mesh you can find. Okay. Well, this, uh, this, uh, uh, 1800. So it was probably in, I don't know, 50 years. It might have been used a little bit more, but I do have access. Yeah, if you wanted to put in a ventilation stack or something, a piece of PVC wouldn't be hard. But as Joe was saying, you want to cover the edge of that with a nice, fine window screen. Could be another use for a layer of the pantyhose as well, because that'll filter out little guys that could wiggle through the window screen. So use whatever it is like we kind of have to make it up as we go along from like you have the general principle But you know if you've got like 600 pounds of potatoes I mean obviously you're gonna have to come up with you know you're not gonna come up with you know 200 200 used pantyhose I mean you're gonna have to come up with a systems gonna work for you for your harvest But also for your your infrastructure for your your specific root cellar And so just look around, look around and make sure that whatever you put in there, especially if it's metal or if it's got, you know, any kind of rope or twine associated with it, make sure that you sterilize that using flame or the boiling process, because there can also be some icky microorganisms that come into your storage materials and then that ends up causing rot. And so inevitably in any storage operation, you're going to have rot And I think that's one of the components of food storage, long-term food storage that the quote-unquote experts don't tell you because what they want to put forth this kind of idea that everything's going to be you know perfect in Mr. Rogers neighborhood and all that and it's not. When you're really doing food storage you will get bad, smelly, stinky, slimy results at the end of your winter and you'll need a clothes pin to put over your nose or one of them N95 respirator masks just to ward off the stink. But just because you get that in your, wherever you're storing your food does not mean that the whole thing's gone. And so you take out at the end of your winter, and as you're pulling things out throughout the winter, you take out the things that are soft, you take out the different vegetables that are green or that stink bad, and you're going to have to maintain fruit fly populations and make sure that they stay out as they crop up from the bedding of this old 50-year-old plus root cellar. I mean, this is a normal maintenance kind of thing. set it and forget it as much as ron patel would want us to believe well i'd i'd say it's very fifty year-old word seller that's not the whole of the ground yeah yeah i mean exactly it is you know exactly it is yeah while now here's a thought that crossed my mind this may be a little more labor-intensive than your up to but uh... you might want to consider making uh... either trays or baskets out of something like hardware cloth. You can buy that in the hardware store. You can get a quarter inch style. It's intended to protect your plants from marauders. I've got some in service now to try to keep some of my seedlings from being consumed by the wildlife and so on. But you can buy that stuff at the hardware store. It may be a little bit of a project, but I make a little wooden frame and stretch some of that over there. You know, you could maybe make some stacking type trays or some such so that, you know, if you're dealing with a few hundred pounds, you get, you know, 20 pounds per tray or something. It gives you ability to handle some of this in a little more compact and convenient fashion or possibly, you know, roll that in a circle and wire it together and make baskets or something along those lines. So what do you think? Well, once again, my husband's in the kitchen right now, but I don't know. That sounds interesting too, and I'm sure you could do that with chicken wire. Yes, it's basically like very very fine chicken wire. There's rectangular style and there's hexagonal style. I doubt it makes any difference for this application. Sounds good. I've learned so much guys. I truly appreciate it. And now open it up to whoever else. Thank you so much guys. Thanks Misty. Okay and as always our archive is maintained on IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com kindly maintained by Spike. Sometimes it takes a little while to get the files up but they get there eventually. If you want to replay any of this stuff you can always visit IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com and pull down the archive and rerun it. So if they say, wait a minute. There's an awful lot of nattering by old BK, but there's some guy named Joe in there who actually said something worthwhile. But I don't remember what it was. You can go back and you can pull down the archive and play it and see what it was that you missed or kind of half remembered or what have you. And as always, that is available for BK's favorite price of $0.00 and 0 cents. So, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com, the archives section. It has Intelligence Report, it has Grow Your Own, it has everybody's programs on there. So, MP3 downloads and away you go. So, anybody else have a topic they want to hit right now? I know we've got some people holding. I know they're there. Folks, if you're just tuning in while we're waiting for people to star six on mute, if you're holding, please do so. This is the second of September 2016. You're listening to the evening intelligence report. Mark Kernke is not on air and will not be on air for the rest of this hour at least. He's had some family business to attend to. And so, you know, myself, Joe from Carolina is here. And I know we've got our friend BC. and and and butter knife and there's some other folks on the air as well. We're kind of trying to take up the slack here and and I think in this this mindset of the militia, I mean that's what we're supposed to do. You know fire and fall back. Mark can't support this whole network on his vocal cords alone. And when Mark needs a break, if if this network means something to you, if it means something to me, then we step up. And one person can't do it all, and so that's where we come in, and you. And I say we is like the listeners, because I love listening to Mark. But when he's not on air, if we don't call in, you guys don't have an interest, there won't be a program, right? So I appreciate Misty calling in and everything. And I know we've got more people with Katie as well, Katie's frequent caller. So why don't we go ahead, I'm going to just drop back and grab a sip of filtered rainwater here, because my throat's going dry. Okay, um, oh go ahead. All right, I stepped on somebody. I don't know if somebody was trying to speak or not. I'll give you 10 seconds try speak up Okay, I lied, only six. All right, so other stuff that's going on in the world, we have been talking about gardening and quartermaster type stuff. I also like to throw in some of this public affairs and the comedy that we call politics. The latest news, and this just broke yesterday. is that the debate or the first debate or what have you between the two characters running for President Hillary and Trump has just been announced. It's in early September. And here is, this is an absolute joke, but it's consistent with a lot of stuff that we've been hearing to the effect that Hillary's health is collapsing and her apparatchiks seem to not be certain whether they can even keep her on her feet long enough to maintain the pretense that she is capable of serving the office. There's now getting to be rumors that it was not a blood clot that was removed from her head three years ago. The rumors are now that it was a brain tumor and it's coming back. Certainly she has had phase outs events on air that the corporate press is not highlighting to any significant extent. They have announced the terms and details of the so-called debate that's coming up between her and Trump. And it's not going to be a debate. Have any of you heard these details yet before I get too far into it? Anybody? Nothing. Well, it happens in early September. I think it's the 9th, but don't quote me on that. It's going to be moderated by a fellow named Matt Lauer, who is basically a Clinton employee. You can imagine how even-handed this will be. It's going to be only one hour in duration, and it's not going to be a debate. Instead, it's going to be two 30-minute interviews back-to-back, I think Clinton first and Trump second. So they get to cut back and forth. They won't even be in the same physical location. So this is designed to spare, yeah, this spares Hillary the onerous task of staying on her feet for a whole 30 minutes at a stretch, which some of us are coming to suspect is beyond her physical capabilities and lets her be interviewed by a friendly apparatchik with probably pre-screened questions and probably very little you know, cross-examination and so on. And whenever, you know, if there's any sort of medical problem or she's zoned out or whatnot, they can cut away and, you know, avoid anybody seeing what's going on and so on and so forth. So it seems that they are explicitly acknowledging the truth of all these rumors about her failing health. They have set up a, a, venue a format that is specifically designed to maintain the pretense that she is actually healthy and functional when in fact they have no idea when she may phase out or glitch or need to sit down after a whole 30 seconds or whatever the case may be. How's that? Thank you. I'm curious to know if they're going to do all the debates like that. I mean, I can see the first one maybe. What do you think about them continuing in this fashion? I think that the rats behind the scenes are in a panic because they have no idea whether they can prop her up long enough to get her to stagger through the door into the big house before she flops over and the VP gets to sit in the big chair and stat. So... Say again? Did you see what the Vice President said? I've been covering this quite a bit on my broadcast. I did not. Go ahead. Tell us. I've been covering the whole thing with Hillary's health and all that and all the dirty dastardly deeds and all that good stuff and the string of bodies laying behind her bill. And her vice president said that the people have a right to know about a candidate's health and their entanglements with foreign governments. Oh, yeah, right. So let's hear him talk about all of that, the selling of influence and the money laundering and the payoffs in the form of fake stock exchanges, or I'm sorry, futures trading and the string of convenient bodies. Now, nobody thinks that the Clintons are personally pulling the trigger or necessarily even fingering the people who are a problem, but certainly they have a cloud of operatives all around them. I imagine a fly on the wall would record some conversations along the lines of, well, no one rid me of this troublesome priest. There is a historical reference there. Yes, Beckett. It would be foolish of Trump to put up with this more than once. I think so too. I'm surprised that he's putting up with it even the first time, but we'll see. Well, he did contribute, what did I read, between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation. So, I think there's some real strange things going on behind the scenes. I mean, he's calling her Crooked Hillary, which I agree, but to find out, and his campaign staff acknowledged that yes, he had contributed to the Foundation. Well, yeah, he's been in the business of being a real estate developer in the Northeast. for a long time and and he said this himself but the way you have to play the game if you have to pay off both sides it's just the you know the way it works he doesn't like it he's gone along with it I can I can credit that argument at the same time I'm not going to give people a hard time for being suspicious But not everybody can be as pure as Ron Paul because he wasn't trying to develop real estate and get building permits and all this kind of stuff that the apparatchiks can use as leverage to shake you down. So if Trump says, well, yeah, I had to pay off both sides and that's the way the game works. I don't like it. I'd like to change it. But I played the game by the rules. I can kind of credit that. at the same time without considering him the second coming. As I say to people, this is a contest between a lifetime corrupt politician who has engaged in perjury, money laundering, suspicious disappearance of inconvenient witnesses, concealment of rape allegations, accomplice after the fact, influence peddling, so on and so forth, versus the untested reformer. I consider that an easy choice, but I will call him the untested reformer. We don't know. We do know that he's rich enough that he can't be bought, at least not for money. So we will see. But the terms of this pseudo debate are just laughable I have to say, you know It seems to me that it was specifically engineered to conceal any collapse that she might commit Live and I have no idea what they think they're gonna do when it comes I hope they do put them in the same room together because I really want to see that I really want to see that I Certainly would do in front of a live audience. Yeah, go ahead. Oh, yes Yeah, I heard the same thing. Well, I didn't. My husband Doc heard the same thing. BK that you're saying that it's going to be. They're going to be in two separate rooms and I agree. I was telling my husband I honestly so on with you on that. I believe it's got to do with her health because she cannot stand up or she's going to have a massive bobblehead seizure on the air and my husband also said that he had had heard or read. Somebody making the statement, the reason why, too, is because she did not want to confront or, I mean, be confronted by Trump. In the event, Trump brought Benghazi, the email, the foundation, all the scams. Well, you know what? I'm going to jump in here. You know what? Somebody who has that much fear and who has that much control or... Somebody that would actually agree to those sorts of terms of a debate doesn't have the cajones to represent the United States or defend the United States on the world stage. And really, legitimately, I mean, does anybody actually believe this? And to quote Hillary Clinton herself, now listen to this. We had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night or decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? And that's what I would ask. What the hell difference does it make between either of them, folks? Right. Well, I disagree on that one, but at the same time I'm saying, well, I'm supporting Trump, but buy more ammo. Because, you know, in the best of all worlds, if he proves to be everything that we hope he is, he's still facing the entire professional government, both parties, the press, everything else, you know, the most comprehensive reform he could possibly make. will probably be not nearly enough to pull us back from the brink. So, you know, do the best we can with that little one bullet that we can fire our ballot. Be advised that it probably won't be counted, honestly. You know, you just do what you can and buy more ammo. And I agree with that too, but you know, Trump is the one that is pushing for more police say. Trump is the one that says he's going to give the police more and more and more. I agree with 5More and about the Trump issue. Hey guys. Yeah, he tends to pop out with kind of prosaic thoughts on a lot of these things and then what happens, the pattern is that people hop on him after the, you know, after he made some tweet or made some statements and say, hey look, you can't do this or it has to work this way or here are the reasons why and he seems to listen to those advisors. I feel very good about the debate. People are very, very nice. They're just very, very wonderful people. That's a quote from Trump. Go ahead, BC. Yeah, I would like to bring to the attention of everybody an article that Mike Adams at naturalnews.com has written. And I'll tell you what, Mike Adams really does know talking about scientists, and he is the daren the other day. I wish I could just bring it forth. Your attention to an article. that he wrote at his web lateral news.com. Also America in less than when, however many days, no matter who wins the election. Now I want everybody to at least read this with an open mind and you will see it doesn't matter whether Hillary the hut, we are going to see some major unrest in this country. And that's what we are prepping for. That's what we are preparing and trying to encourage and educate others about. And that's what we need to be focused upon. And then hopefully what he wants to say and what he wants to do, things might start happening in the right direction. Yes, okay, we've run out of time. Thank you everybody for lending a hand. This has been an intelligence report. It is 2 September 2016. We're wrapping it up for this evening. God bless America. Death to the new world. We shall prevail. Good night everybody and thank you all. Just needed our home and with our devotion
