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 said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught According to the state you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax You do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and family farms and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be Our 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great republic and eat God given right and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist for once. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, What would be your answer? He called out from the grave, of a land of the free. Intelligence report, I'm R. Kornke. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, Southeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 m g dot com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com, and we are on AM&FM micro stations, CB Bay stations, and UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies East Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon to the Aleutians of the very streets, Northern Marianas, and of course, Goa! Let's just roll this dozen. Cool over him, sir. Oh my god, this just sounds horrible. It's not our town for it's a constant soaker. been getting a conqueror rain now for, I don't know, about 20 across the whole of the Midwest, down all the way to Kentucky. We just passed right through all that guys in the last 20 hours or so. And from all the way to the Mississippi to back east, I mean, western peninsula areas, at least, already to the eastern side of Pennsylvania. It's going to be a rolling front all over the country. It's classic fall. And the conflict is the ground is really warm. We're getting fog in the middle of the day, kind of burned off already. cool rain from above, average temperature about 60 degrees, but as low as, like where we are right now, 54 degrees and consistent. So by the way, real quick, I-94 in the Ann Arbor area headed eastbound of Boyd. So some of our listeners who are in the Ann Arbor area eastbound around Ann Arbor, Salene and the south side of Ann Arbor is a parking lot in the rain. So, of Boyd, go somewhere else. Use an exit before you get to Ann Arbor-Celine Road. I just want to mention that because now we have a lot of listeners who are in the area and not a good day to be sitting around with your thumbs diddling while you're waiting for the cars up ahead of you to move that aren't going anywhere. Anyway, Tom, what's it like in your neck of the woods today? What's the day today when you're jumping off the wall? Please. Hey, it is the 20th day of October, year of our Lord 2016. And it's chilly, it's become overcast, the sun went away. Well, the leaves are falling off the apple trees as fast as they can and they're turning on the maples and the oaks and the other hardwoods here as fast as they can. And the evergreens are just saying, so that's what you guys do for the winter. But again, it is the 20th day of October 2000. And, you know, I'm thinking the debates last night, they were in Las Vegas, weren't they? And, you know, People play odds on all kinds of things, you know, and bet on, well, the outcome of wars and who's going to take a seat first at the debates or will they even shake hands and stuff, you know. And people stand around and scratch their head and say to themselves and sometimes out loud, what's the odds? And you know, in times of distress, you think about this because this is a misnomer here. This is completely wrong. In times of distress, doesn't that guy who's running the table there or the guy who's dealing the cards over there or the guy who's throwing the dice, don't they say something like all bets are off? Or just before that happens, it could be another incident too after they throw the dice. Snake Eyes! And the first thing somebody screams is, it's up there at the podium! That's right, Hillary. Yeah, this is true, yeah! But you know, if they call All Bets Are Off and it's Snake Eye Hillary, you know that? Everything is on the table. It's exactly the opposite, isn't it? It's not like All Bets Are Off. It's not like, well, I can pick up my money and I can walk away and maybe we'll come back tomorrow and make another bet. It's not like that at all, is it? Because everything is on the table then, isn't it? If you fight from, well, gun rights and everything that that, from a lock on your front door to... the amount of food you keep in your house because you know there's already federal laws for that you can't hoard food and and if you've got more than a thousand rounds in your house or in your garage you know you're an arsenal and you should have been registered and because of that well you should have been registered and and you shouldn't have hoarded so much food so we're going to send you off to well at the very least let's let's see somewhere in the not too distant future what would be a nice more pleasant name for the re-education camps mark or You know, you can't send them off to federal, well you could send them off to federal prison hoarding ammunition or being an unregistered armory if you had more than a thousand rounds. By the time they're done, they'll even quote that down to a few hundred rounds or a hundred rounds or two rounds of garbage. Oh yeah, three magazines. Look at Australia right now. Take a look at England right now. Guys, having n rounds of ammunition, depending on where you are on the planet, can be 20 years in prison. A single round. That's where they want to go with this. So it's like, no, I think I'll just give you the bullet and a whole lot of others too and get rid of the problem. Go ahead, please. Again, thank you, Mark. It's not like all bets are off. Think about it, because that's... That's a way for the the Mississippi gambler the the guy running the place to I don't know to You know ejection seat out or something. I don't know where that phrase really comes from or what backs it up But in this instance if if the if oh, yeah, we can do it just like this. Let me ponder for a moment If the political system rolls snake eyes on oh the eighth day of the 11th month of the year of our Lord 2016 All bets are, well, everything is on the table. And everything is up for. Think about this. What did that clown say the other day when in the town debates someplace or somewhere, someone said to him, hey, if Hillary gets elected, that could lead to a, I'm not exactly certain what was said, but it was shouted from the crowd. That could lead to a war or a revolution or a civil war. I'm not exactly sure. You can find it. It's, it's, if you search, they're trying to bury it. It was brought up once, maybe twice in the mainstream, but it was brought up live when it happened. What, what, what, if, if Hillary gets elected, there's gonna be a civil war. Let's just say that was shouted from the crowd. The clown looked up and, and said, oh, don't say that. That's what he said. Oh, don't say that. Just like that. Like he's your grandma saying, time to say your prayers. Don't say that. That's not nice. We should, if, don't say that, it will wash your mouth out the next time I hear that. Exactly how he responded to that. Say that. The complete, that's just as good a dodge about the directness of that thought line projected to him so that the whole crowd could hear it. so that it couldn't be, it was going out live, so that it couldn't be ignored. They couldn't just push the seven second button on that one, mark oops, oops, somebody should have perhaps, yeah we'll tell you our plans now and then. And sometimes it slips out and sometimes we just can't help it and well maybe that person was even in the crowd on purpose. But then again, you know, if it ever came to that, Hillary would say, no one told me. I didn't know what she meant. And it was on my vice president's server. I'll tell you like this, and we've told you before, just like 1860. And people are sitting on the edges of their seats saying, they vote that Lincoln fella in, we're going to go to war. Just like that person yelling at the crowd to that woman, nominated to be her vice president, if they vote that Hillary person, that person is a bit of a credibility. if they vote in the zombie known as Hillary and maybe some might think that's cruel, but Hillbots just opened one eye and their eyebrow lifted up a little bit if they vote that zombie known as Hillary in war. And it won't be a North versus South thing. It won't be a this side of the Mississippi and the other side of the Mississippi. It will be to put the one that that foreigner in the White House says has a right to defend itself. But what he's saying is he's telling you it has a right to defend itself from its citizens. Remember that was only about three weeks ago. The corporation plans on fighting the American people, but remember, back in 1933 that corporation already declared war against us. We're just not supposed to know it. So understand, they've already been at war with us. They know what they're doing. Now they're trying, we're in a defense, there's no defense here. These tanks are against us. That's the bottom line. They've been offensive. And they've been offensive since 1933 on the offensive against us, progressively to destroy our liberties. That in and of itself is justification for waging effective war against them and getting rid of them. And it's something we need to keep emphasizing amongst our own people and across the whole of this country. I know, if you, if you don't, well you don't need to know that, of course we're going to tell you you don't need to know history. You don't need to know the foundational elements that they use for their excuse to be able to get away with murder on a regular basis. And all of it has to do with the potentates and Pharisees and the pharaoic creatures that all, you know, oh yeah, oh yeah, have an agenda. Before the American Civil War, a lot of people understood what was going on. I would point out, guys, they were digging in. Whole communities, we've covered this many times down here, but this is all over the country. All over Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, anywhere along the east coast. Guys, there was a complete culture of preparedness taking place knowing what was coming. Because a lot of people did have common sense as opposed to the frivolous short-minded ones Which are the same creatures you're dealing with right now that do the well Actually now they say well, I hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime work. Well, it can happen But I don't really know what happened right now. It'll be you know some years down the road That's almost wishful or hoping in other words. Oh God, I don't have to face it somebody else will or maybe I'll be so old I won't have a clue And they'll just walk in and shut your machine off. They won't even waste a bandage stroke on you. Yeah. Why bother? Yeah, just hit the switch, plug it, and you'll be, wait a minute, why? They were having to harvest pork. They needed more pork for their export. And don't think that isn't the plan. Guys, there's so much of this. You know, real quick on that one, and originally it was, well these are rumors, but it comes out later and they're quite proud of the fact that Mouse Ate Dung was a cannibal. Okay, and every one of these sycophants get into this. This is another part of the occult scam. Let me point something out, I'll tie this in, because we're at the bottom of the hour down, I'm gonna have to step away. But guys, the Viking thing, okay, there's a Viking series. The first thing I have to ask is why would there be all the Viking series which has to do with Nordic and Aryans and Demi-Aryans and, you know, the cliff dwellers of the Great White North, they had to stay indoors because the winters were so horrible and because of that they started using their brains a lot more and thinking. You know, you got time to ponder on things and you got to sit there, you can eat, because you know how to store food, you got stuff on the shelf, so to speak. But the big thing with this is that it's anti-Christian and the other thing is once again sacrificing, human sacrificing, slitting throats, taking your best warriors and laying them on a slab and cutting their guts out and slitting their throats. And oh yeah, oh the piping's real, they were, no that's not tough, that's a waste of, that's a waste of good manpower. If you had a real hardcore religion to be, well, your sacrifice is to go wait into the enemy, outnumber you 20 to 1 and die in battle, which also is a double plus good for you because that's the Viking way. But instead, once again, what was the big theme they put into the Viking scam? All the suicide slash murder slash occult gutting of human beings, your own people as a matter of fact. See, that's the thing. Remember, that's the psychopaths over the psychopaths trying to plug the agenda in. And there's people that are grabbing up on this, oh, see? See, that was really cool. See? Really? Ask yourself how intelligent that really is. Especially in an age when, well, you didn't have machine guns, hacking and chopping rules, or the odor of the day, and every single dick I got that can hold a weapon. Yeah, I need everyone I got alive. You know what I mean? If you're going to do anything, any type of action like that would all have to be, we're going to go find the bad guys or somebody we don't like. You have to wade into them and commit kind of ritual super coup by fighting until you die. At least you get something out of the guy that was a dynamic warrior that took what, 20, 30 years to train, 10, 15 years to train depending on the age, and you're going to waste him by splitting his throat? Are you an idiot? What kind of a stupid culture is that? But you see, that's what these psychopaths do when they finally get control of cannibalism, human sacrifice, all this repeated over and over again by these same turds, were pushed and written into the history even if it wasn't there. See how that works? So challenge people on this. Anyway, I say what we're hitting towards the bottom, and a couple of things I want to remind everybody about too, that I'm going to bring up is, you know, all bets are off because you see no things. symbolism that they kind of go to certain places and the whole casino routine are going to go, leave all lost wages. Well, it is kind of an epicenter for a lot of human activity, but all of it is frivolous human activity. If it worked for the gambling casinos, what would people be doing in lost wages? They work at that water production plant. No. They work and they cut down the trees. No. They build automobiles. They build parts for automobiles. They were sand canisters. Remember what he said? There's sand there. Sand! Oh, he was talking about the Middle East, but think about it. You know what's there? Sand! Don't send them money. Send them luggage. Okay? Get them to move over where the food is. Well, it's interesting. The only reason that place is there is because of what? Organized crime. Yeah. The only reason. So it's quite apropos that they would have that section there, guys. And that way, again, who'd they slide them onto? Organized crime. One batch, the OI boys, sliding money to the other OI boys, all working, the organized crime circle. Isn't that fascinating? And nobody really steps back and thinks about what's the symbolism here for the ring knockers, for what they're doing. Well, of course, it's to laugh at that laugh there ourselves because as we know, on the one hand, Don, right there, they have those one-armed bandits all over the place out there at Vegas, don't they? Step up, drop in a nickel dime quarter or a silver dollar or even put in a $10 bill or a $50. It'll know the difference for you. And by the way, we have a variation, but don't worry, they don't take money. It's called a Die-Bold machine. It operates exactly the same way except, well, wait a minute. It's rigged just like the house is. Same game. No matter what. It was already proven Ron Paul was running guys. Remember all those people went first thing in the morning because they wanted to vote early and they wanted to get on to work? and the machines wouldn't take their vote, it kept registering somebody else and it kept registering somebody else and finally the woman didn't say, oh no, no, no, we're gonna fix it. It was, oh, there's a guy coming and they're probably gonna, they're gonna do something and you just put who you voted for on this yellow pad and we'll fix it later. We'll take care of it, yeah. Oh, your vote's not important, just ignore that and get out on the road. Hey guys. Yeah. Go ahead, caller. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. Regarding what you're saying about the Vikings, weren't they the culture of the Berserker? Oh, you know. I didn't during your last... Well, good point. Again, one thing to remember as we said is, the M16 was a very streamlined rifle going into service. And if you look at the whole design, it was well thought out because it was minimal drag. Any time that you add another piece of equipment or whatever and you're in the field and we're in a temperate environment, we're not in a tropical but we all, some of you guys are, you're down south in Florida, you're down in Louisiana. It's even worse than it is in a temperate woods or in ground, low ground cover because brambles, drags, sumac, grapevines, raspberry bushes, everything hooks on stuff. And that's one of the things people are going to learn progressively is they have to use this equipment. It's almost the way that, again, the angles of approach that were built into the M16A1. People really step back and look at it. and think about why. They already knew what environment the rifle would probably be going into. Well, of course, everybody's focusing towards Vietnam. But, you know, I'm looking at her woods right now, right out here in front of me, and going through that, oh yeah, down at ground level, everything's going to snag. And all it takes is one boo-boo. And, of course, the latest lights everybody's got are these super, you know, I'd like that you don't like around the bright side of the moon, okay, during full moon. That's a hell of a flare for someone to target on. They'll see you from a satellite. Yeah, it really would. Yeah, you're right. That is true. And what are you doing, Mike? I've been to many in FTX where somebody starts out with lights and lasers and vertical forebricks and by the end of it in the morning they got, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's It's one thing if you're jumping out of a vehicle and you're going back to an office at the end of the day or up to a barracks because it's a police state operation, you're going house to house to go after the guns from the peasants in Iraq or whatever. It's another thing to be in the field in a situation where you're going to have to stay and you're the ones who have to, shall we say, work the course because Well, we don't have aircraft supremacy. We have to conceal. We have to take advantage of the environment, the terrain. It means we've got to work through it. I'll tell you what, guys. You take over, but we've got to take off for now. I'm aware I'm supposed to be. And we'll be, hopefully, cutting back into the 5 o'clock. If not, Ed will have to do a rebroadcast. Or, if Donald can stick around, that'd be great. Thank you, Mark. Over and over. Take it easy, guys. You'll be good. Be careful. and up and away and you know how does that go? Hey, it's the bottom of the hour. We can fly a different kite so we could talk about oh that poor Donny and that mean old Hillary and I don't really want to go there because we've been kicking those two for a while haven't we? You know, I used to say to Mr. Otto when he'd run with me on, while Mark was in the monastery, Mark's words. I used to sometimes when we'd change subjects or or when I'd want to interrupt, I'd say to Mr. Otto, Jack, you want to hold them while I kick them? And you might remember this. And then when I'd want to transfer the subject back, hey, I'll hold them, you kick them for a while. And a lot of people don't think that that's not very, you shouldn't say stuff like that. That's like unfair, and that's like bullying. Bullying is a real bad thing now, you know. I can understand that, but, well, it depends on the application and I'm not, you know, trying to run over into some kind of situational ethics or anything and we've talked about monsters, you know, and sometimes you might have to hold a monster while somebody else kicks it. You know right, sir, you shouldn't talk about it. Just go ahead and do it. Just go ahead and do it. Yeah, you're right. You're right. But again, uh, I enjoy sometimes that trade off that, you know, I don't mind that hand off. Did Martin Downe take care of the next half hour? I could run into the next half hour, but that would be rather awkward for Eddie because he could only run half an hour of recording then. Hey, Don. Yeah. I did hear. Sorry, I got some noise in the background. But yeah, it's not a problem. I've got a rebroadcast already ready to go. They gave me a heads up beforehand, so I'm good. Right. Okay, I'm glad you caught that right away. Thank you. Again, we go so many different directions, but you know, I'd sit here and I'd tell you, I miss Mr. Otto. I do. And I know that there's a number of people out there. I don't know their names, but you do. And you can say the same thing, you know, that person who sat down with me a long time ago and said, take that gun apart. Now, you know, take that gun apart and put it back together, boy. You know, we can talk about You know, that goes back to our roots. That's what I'm referencing. How did we get here? You know? If you look at the television, well, we got here from, oh, there's so many different ways we got here. As of late, we got here from our, how does that go, the new founding fathers? Yeah, yeah. We came here from those three stars. We could go to run back to so many sources, but the individual right now, why is it that you're listening? Somebody told you something at one time when you were walking along and everything was fine and you had to look at them twice and maybe you just walked away and you didn't see them for an hour or three years and they told you something else. or in the interim you might have heard something from somebody and said, yeah, I don't want to hear about that. Every one of us, and I can't say you, every one of you, every one of us has that story. And you know when you think far back, somebody had to tell them, and somebody had to tell them. And you look across that, somebody had to tell them, if it wasn't you, we could go back into that timeframe like, oh, that author, of None Dare Call It Treason. I'm trying to remember his name. It's in there somewhere out that synapse of Will White soon. He wrote that book in like 1960, 1961. Its first print sold like 100,000 copies. Then it sold a quarter million, then it sold a half a million, then it sold another quarter, then another half. It ended up in about 14 or 18 months. There were like 2.5 million copies of it out there. Yeah, you used to have a bunch of them. Yeah, I've had a couple. I've loaned them to people and they don't get back. Right, but I have one pristine copy. Everything I've done... Jonathan Stormer? John Stormer, yes, thank you. We've had him on the air. I can't tell you, I don't know if he's gone now. They don't answer the phones. It's as if his organization has folded up. I don't know if he's gone now. But he wrote a book and a lot of people read it. In fact, Mr. Otto said that was one of the books that people were handing me this and handing me that. When I read that book, I was certain that this place is really messed up. That something has to be done about it. So, you know, I'm not bringing this up to just think about, well, how did we get here? I'm not bringing this up so that we remember people like that guy that put the gun on the table. Mr. Sears was his name for me. Take that gun apart, put it back together kid. Huh? Take that gun apart, put it back together, okay. I remember that. You know what? Are you doing that for someone else? We've talked about talking. We've encouraged you to talk. And you know, it's one thing, it really and truly is, understand this, to look at that guy, he's two or three years older or younger than you, he might be six or eight years older or younger than you. at the office or at the line or out there in the woods when you're chopping down trees and killing spotted owls and all kinds of things. I don't do that to disrespect the loggers, you know what I mean? But it just went there. It's one thing to talk in this generation and try to get this generation, stick a clothespin in somebody's eyes, the old cartoon, you're going to look at this. Sometimes we treat our co-workers like they're a captive audience and sometimes they don't appreciate it and they never talk to you again. Oh well, it's their loss. Because how does that go? When the whirlwind comes, you'll see them going up through the air and they won't be riding a bike like the witch. They'll be just going through the air and never to be seen again. But that, you owe it. Really, you do. Think about it. What did that person do for you? Because you've probably got enough bullets to take care of yourself for a while. and enough bullets to take care of your food. And you've probably sat and thought about, well, if this happened, I'd do this. And you might have, if that happened, I'd do the other thing. And if it happens over there, I'd have to run there. And if it happens over there, I might have to dodge that one. You've probably pondered on these things for a good long time now, right? Who do you owe that to? Who do you owe that to? I'll turn that around, because there is a debt to be paid, isn't there? It only and truly is. It's like the sailor. Somebody teaches them how to tie a knot. And that knot's a pretty good knot. It's been tied for a long time and proven. And he turns around and eventually he teaches somebody else how to tie that knot. And we could elaborate on this. We could talk about teaching guide of fish. We could elaborate on this in so many different ways. If you're a reloader, you should be gathering youngsters around you to teach them to reload. Again, if you're a reloader, it would be great to be teaching your brother-in-law how to reload. But, you know, let's be real here. If I got another 20 years in me, seriously, I'm 61 years old. If I got another 20 years in me, that's a gift from God. That really and truly is. If I can open up the eyes of a 20 year old or a 25 year old, some of these guys that come around here and train, they're barely big puppies. They're barely big puppies. But they know a lot more than, well, Plenty of American citizens what I'm trying to tell you because you know Some of these guys are gonna sit back and wonder what the heck's going on and I almost said something else and some of them are gonna participate But they're gonna be the ones when we're gone They're gonna that are gonna have to their children are gonna look at them and say what happened? Their children are gonna look at them and say where are we going? Where did we come from? And if they don't know, well, it's like, how does that go? We, we pledge NISTUM, if I pledge Allegiance, our track, and maybe you might remember it, and it's of no relevance, but it examples how things are turned when there's no connection across the generations, how things can be twisted when there's no one to say, this is how the word should be spoken. We could run in so many different directions on that thought alone. But that continuity, that's what I'm trying to example also. We brought it to you in the thought line about the guy after Leonardo. Leonardo, that da Vinci fellow, he was an artist. He was so many things. He was a craftsman. He was so many things. He had a wonderful imagination. But you know what? The guy after him, just one generation later, Just one generation later is the guy history credits. I told you this story a number of times. Every time I tell you this story, I'll bring this guy's name to you sooner. I'm sorry, I apologize. I still don't have this guy's name. I'll find it for you someday and I'll tell you the guy's name. But he's the first guy in history that modern historians and scientists credit as being the first scientist. Why? Well, Leonardo, he looked around at things and he tried to imagine how something might work. In fact, he contracted prisoners, the guards, so that they would tie the executed prisoner just below the water and have the fishes eat away at the flesh because it was against the church to dissect. So as these different parts were exposed, he would draw them, so he would get around the laws of the church. or ornithopter, a human-powered ornithopter, a flying replica of a bird. A very imaginative person drew an air screw. They say, well, that was the first impetus, the beginnings of mankind thinking about the helicopter. But that guy after him, he's credited with being the... Leo came up with some really cool ideas, you know? The guy after him, just one generation later, we call him the first scientist. Because he based the things around him, his deductions on things, this is this because all of the people that came before him and their thought lines and all the way back to everything is only, it's either fire or it's water or it's earth. Now we know that's not true, but we know, you know, in a What would be the word to put there? In a miraculous sense, fire and water and earth, walking. We know there's so much more than that. So again, that guy that woke you up, or those number of people over the years, it might have first been a fifth grade or a sixth grade, I think it was a fifth grade teacher. We sat in one classroom all day. I think it was, I had a fifth grade teacher or a sixth grade teacher named Mr. Karger, I don't remember the other one. It was one of those, and he was the guy stood right in front of the class and I brought you this thought line before. He said, right to all of these fifth or sixth graders, this group of puppies. He said, You know, America as a nation was fortunate, was lucky to have made it through to have survived the Civil War. He didn't call it the War of Northern Aggression. He didn't call it the War Between the States. He called it by the history book, the Civil War. And then he went on to explain, because you know when you get a boat rocking, it's easy for someone to come along and hold one side down and all of a sudden the boat is underwater, it's not floating anymore. And he said again, we are lucky as a nation to have survived the Civil War. And that was one of the first things that I didn't even understand at the time, you know. I was just a kid, I was just a child. It was in that same time frame as I came across Washington's vision and read it. It was right down the hall, right there in a school library that is smaller, I don't know if that school still stands, but that school library was smaller than this dinky little trailer living room that I'm sitting in right now. I reached up there when I was about a foot 9 or something and I reached up to that shelf and I picked off another book about Washington to read. In that book I read Washington's Visions. As a youngster, like 10 or 11 years old, I couldn't understand that. When I was a child, I was under the impression that the whole world loved us. Everybody wanted to be like us. Everybody wanted to come here. Everybody wanted to use our money. And we were beloved around the world. And I couldn't understand that. I didn't even really relate to the war for independence and the war of Northern aggression, that war between the states, the second war described by George Washington that would be cuted on this continent. And I, as a child, I was in awe. I could not understand. It was beyond me. When I read about the whole world united against us coming here to wage war against us. I read that when I was 10 or 11 years old. I couldn't understand it. I would read it again and again. And I'd say to myself, what's he trying to say? Why? What does this mean? I don't remember the author of that book. It was a blue-bound book, George Washington, 50 years. one of my feet. You couldn't take either one, but I would wage one of my feet. And I'm not a betting man. We started this hour talking about bets. Bet you that book is no longer on the shelf of that. Even if it was kept in pristine condition and every student that opened it treated it like it was part of their family and then put it back on the shelf after they read it. Not on the shelf anymore. The school library. But that was one of the things that gave it a basis for someone else to say, you know, hey, what about this? And someone else to say, you know, things aren't right. Well, there were a number of people, but along come Mr. Otto. And it took Otto years. He'd show me this, he'd say, read that. And it's just coincidence. And he'd tell me about Truman's thing about coincidence, about in politics, there's no such thing as coincidence. And one day something happened, and it just, Otto said something and pointed something out, and it was It can't be denied. We try to strive on this hour to bring that new listener to that epiphany, that lightning bolt strike, that sudden realization, or that scares people. We've talked about this in a number of ways. When you start to talk to people along this line, there's basically three reactions. They turn away because, well, they don't want to hear it. Well, it can't be real. They start to pay attention. And they start to do things and even that is sometimes like most people's most television people's attention span. You know how that works. We've talked about that. Most people who sit there and watch the tube or this is why the news is like seven seconds, fifteen seconds, twenty-three seconds, seven seconds. This is why commercials aren't generally longer than thirty seconds because most people's attention spans are wider than they are long. And quote me on that. That is a Don original. I don't want to see that in a commercial someday soon. And if I do, I'm gonna sue you. Okay? Because what was that some president said a while back? We are a litigious society and some things I think are mine. Don original. Plenty of people out there. Their attention span is wider than it is long. People who want to pull the strings, they play on that as hard as they can. So again, that's why you get blurbs of information. And if Don stays on a subject for 10 or 12 minutes, some people say, well, we should talk about something else. And I'm not trying to attack you. It's just we want to move on to something else. It's human nature. What's next? What's around the corner? What's the sunrise going to look like? What's going to happen tomorrow? And what's the role of the dice? That is even, we've gone from kind of calm to the extreme of that. You know, just waiting for Don to change his subject all the way over to waiting for the next roll of the dice and betting everything on it. And that's the extreme of that. What's next? What's next? What's next? Driven. We're human beings. We are truly driven by that. Some of us more than others. Some of us don't even want to say it out loud. A basic human nature thing. It really and truly is. And that goes back over to that attention span, wider than it is long. That's a discipline thing. Because when you suppress that, I want to do something else now. What's next? What's next? That's childlike, isn't it? Think about it. It is. It's a childlike. It's a... I can't think of the word. I won't try to dwell and find that word. But it is childlike. A piece of candy, another piece of candy, and another piece of candy, and I don't care about lunch, another piece of candy. You know a monkey will sit there and push the cocaine button rather than the food button until it starves to death? That's kind of a tremendous extreme of the what's next, but that's not even looking at a future, is it? That's the immediate right now. Gotta have it, gotta have it, gotta have it. But that's kind of the what's next, what's next. Gotta have it, gotta have it. We're driven by these things, whether we acknowledge them or not. If we move these things into the right areas, like, what about my freedom? Gotta have it. Give it back, give it back. It's mine, it's mine. These are basic things. That's one of the first things a child learns. Do you know that? One of the first is no. other than mama or daddy. One of the first words they realize and know what it means is the two letter word no. One of the next is mine. Mine. These are basic human drives. I'd like to keep what's mine. When adults start to think along things like that instead of just gimme gimme gimme I want I want mine mine mine. When they start to think like adults about mine. You start to take it to higher thought lines like, my time, my life. See how that works? It's easy, isn't it? But most people never get beyond that. Truly, and I'm not saying that, you know, it's you or you or you because you've got beyond it simply by moving away from the mainstream. It's on TV right now. Know what I mean? That I don't care what they're paying attention to. Civilization of self, big progression in taking yourself in any direction, being surgeon tomorrow, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you could be an astronaut if you want to and apply yourself because, or like the third grade teacher told me, Mrs. Hanson, any one of you young boys here in this classroom could grow up to be president. Now, maybe she believed that. I'm of the mind that she believed that. But you and I know that that's not true. And that's an example mainstream, isn't it? That's one that I can drag out and bring you and show you. This is true because even if you, even if you in second or third or fourth or even sixth or seventh grade sat in front of a teacher that said to you why any one of you young gentlemen, it might have been a history teacher, it might have been an English teacher, any one of you young fellows here could grow up to be president of this great country, they might have believed it, that those odds were completely and totally stacked. In fact, when it comes to those odds, all the bets were off the table, weren't they? Because let's see, by about 1963, 1964, 1965, the Warren Commission was created. The CIA had brushed a bunch of things under the rug and under the table and stones here and there and who was hard as they could and rewarded a number of people that were on the Warren Commission and as an example one of them gained a presidency without a single vote from American people and you know the guy that was in charge of the CIA, the area director in Dallas, he gained eventually the vice presidency, tried to knock that presidency off to get the short presidency and well that didn't work so well for him so he had to wait a while. Then he got his four years in and by that time I have no doubt that they were working the machines in the background and a little while later he got his boy in trying to build that Bush dynasty. And America has not been the same since. And there's not been a proper vote. And in fact even that one was messed up in Illinois, Chicago in particular. That fellow tended to like a drink every now and then didn't he? And in fact he knew just the guy to get it from didn't he? Even when, well you shouldn't ought to be doing that. Ties go back a long, long ways, don't they? And there are certain people that be paid. And there are certain people that we owe, aren't there? You can say, I might be able to get to here before then, and maybe they don't realize what's happening today, and well, you know, we tell you to keep an eye out and keep looking around, and a number of reasons, don't we? tell you to keep an eye out and we tell you to keep looking around and the reasons we do that are more layered than the fattest onion you have ever seen. Oh, did I talk about lisp? Because I wanted to talk about lisp too tonight. You know, lisp. Not a lisp. Sometimes you might think, is he talking about a lisp or a lisp? L-I-S-T. Because, you know, western for your fore-mentioned thought line, but, you know. I don't want to do that because I might get on a list. Well, are you making a list and are you checking it twice? You know, the line after that because you ought to by now I figured out who's this and who's that and what players are on the field and where that periscope is and where it's going. You know, the reference, don't you?
