Summary
Mark Koernke discussed currency collapse and hyperinflation preparedness, including the value of junk silver and barter goods during societal breakdown. He covered practical survival skills such as firemaking with char cloth and fatwood, cooking on wood stoves, and vision enhancement through diet and eye exercises. Koernke celebrated the 106th anniversary of the 1911 pistol patent and discussed knife design principles for bushcraft and utility. The episode concluded with a major initiative: Koernke called listeners to conduct a nationwide radiological survey using Geiger counters to monitor background radiation and solar activity, establishing a decentralized logbook system to track environmental radiation levels.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the sick 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 this, 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 traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and see and re-farm. 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 oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children and fear both sons of the republic arise? Take stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republican each God given right and pray to God freedom bright as I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for once he came his words were true not free But we have ourselves to blame for even now as tyrants trample each God given right We only watch 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 fought to keep What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. along with Alaska. Good afternoon to our friends in the Aleutians and the Bering Strait. Still afternoon there, three or four hours behind us guys. Anyway, Larry, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the day today? What's jumping off the wall please? It was Valentine's Day 2017, meaning the 14th of January. Jumping off the wall, well, it just seems like every day comes along. I just see our The president's filling the swamp with more gators and snakes. Now he's mouthing off about turn Crimea back over to the Ukraine. Who the hell side is this guy on folks? Still sending troops and tanks to Russia's borders. The little woman that he appointed to the UN as our ambassador there is still mouthing off against Russia. Even though Kiev telling their own people again as they have numerous times before she mouths off that it's Russian aggression again. So it looks like new boss, same as the old boss, he may not be a flaming queer like the last one was, Hitler is, he might have flown on the same Jeffrey Epstein planes that the Clintons did. So maybe that's why she's not being arrested like they've been mouthing off about what they've been going to do. saying it, keep saying it, keep saying it. That would be nice to see. But I haven't seen it yet. All sorts of stuff all over the internet. He's going to get her and Chuckie Schumer and some of the rest of them. Well, I'm waiting. I saw them get hundreds out in California. And now they've got that piece of crap Sandusky's kid and a few others. But what about Hillary? Media is math and op, pizza gate isn't real. Well, we know that it pretty much is real. We know pretty much that the media says black, it's more than likely white. We have a garbage janet Yellen who's making public statements about the interest rates that the Federal Reserve is going to charge. Basically, they're planning on creating a crash of the US dollar. So you'd better be doing something to be ready for that. Hyperinflation may be just around the corner. You want to see how bad it is. Take a look at Venezuela. They're down there eating cats, dogs, and whatever they can. It's pleasant here. And people already aren't pleasant. They're being orchestrated by little Georgie Soros and a little Homo Bongo in Washington, DC. There's reports that the East entrenched and get 30,000 people paid for by Soros and riots nationwide. If I was president, I'd be raiding that piece of garbage. and uh... of the image of well allowed to flourish and uh... why the continue why isn't uh... georgie sorrows in jail you know wasn't somebody put up all that piece of garbage is head the things that need to happen to uh... to stop rap you don't just let it continue festering like a sore on that you guys better be get ready to protect yourself workers uh... going to get civil war and likely invasion from the outside. That's what's coming. But he's sick and tired of pieces of garbage like Germany. They're sick and tired of Angela Merkel shoving all these out there young girls there. You ought to see some of the video of France police out there with tear gas and people running up down the street. I mean they just trapped all these countries. Who's bringing them all in? The Jews. I was in. That's what some idiots say. the These were all the clutch from that era of course the the last that are hanging on there's others that are on the edge of dead boxers another one She's she's Jewish all these turds that are attacking the You know firearms ownership and typically have been pro-police state anti-american are all Jewish mafia types period There's another question on the hyperinflation thing now coins You know current clay at coins versus you know paper because the coins are based on the paper. When the paper evaporates, so to speak, through hyperinflation, nickels are still made out of nickel, dimes and quarters are clad, but will they still hold any value? Yes. Well, that gets back to the whole currency idea here we've talked about before. All of the currency will probably be in circulation, much like if you know historically what happened with Rome and the Roman collapse. Now granted, their currency then was all hard currency, silver or gold, but even at the back in those days, counterfeit coins were out there. Iron coins, Washington gold, was something that one of the garrison emperors did and it got him killed. Nero did counterfeit coins, clad coins, just like you're seeing right now. The clad coin idea is not new. It actually goes back into the depths of time when there's been currency. Whether or not they got away with it, depending upon how up to speed people were, some just turned their brains off if it was too heavily populated. But that's why you always see the guys, they throw them a gold coin and they put it to their teeth and they try to bend it. Because there were a lot of scurrilous tricks out there that have been around for as long as hard currency's been in play. Cladcoins, any coin or currency, what will happen is in phase one, you just start, you use it. In other words, the stuff that you know isn't going to be a value later on. The paper, for wipe your arse paper would be used immediately. That's what the cash is for. People won't be accepting credit cards. They're going to be useless almost immediately. No one's going to take checks, okay? So, but the cash, their logic is that somehow the system will chug along, so the cash will be good for a little bit longer in terms of the paper currency. Now, coin currency is durable, and that's where the jump off is, the big shift, because any currency represents a specific, you know, has a denominational item, you know, it's numbered. It's a set value that everybody can determine based upon whatever it becomes a standard in the next phase. In the earliest phase, or I should say phase three, and you know, I'm gonna do guns in this ammunition or whatever, oh I thoroughly agree, you know, four pallets of sardines are gonna be worth more than a handful of silver coins probably. And at radioactive anyway. Yeah, at one point. Well yeah, well it's the idea that you know, starving or maybe shortening your life by 10 years, okay? Keep that in mind. That's one of the problems you've got is, you know, again, everything's gonna get bad, well yeah, really. I get to a subject I want to talk about in a minute as far as radiation goes. It has nothing to do with what's going on in Japan. It's background radiation right now. But the currency would be the clad currency and solid silver currency in the 86 point, 84 point, depending on what country it's from and what year it was made here. That's all going to be speculated upon and will be part of your mental math problem when the time comes as you're rebuilding society. See, the valuation or the valuation will be determined by the people themselves and how many more people they think they want to kill as opposed to maybe being civilized with your friends. You know, if anybody can bonk somebody with a rock and steal and then somebody will bonk the other person that just stole the rock and another person will bonk that person, well it will get thin after a while and people start to realize no one wants to get near anybody at arm's reach because you might get bonked with a rock. And so things get pretty lonely real fast. And people are kind of like herd animals in that respect. They like to be around other people to a degree. Not everybody, but most. And that's where the change will take place. As you realize, you're not getting anything done. There's no new things being made. You're not getting any trinkets or goodies to buy. There's no China sport coming in anymore. Hasn't been for maybe 50 years. It's going to get real thin by then. So that's where the currency issue with regard to peaceable trade is going to have to be settled by local, if there are states, state government, and maybe Fed in its minimalist form. But we've already seen the problem with letting the Fed go to town on it to the extreme. And of course, always the argument from those who were Federalists is that, well, we've got to have the Fed managing the currency. Well, if we take the speculators out of the formula, the currency at the state level would have worked just fine. and the speculators have always been the problem. There are thieves, galleywags, carverbaggers, there's other names for them, but the term speculator is what you'll find repeated over and over again in property thief deals, in any kind of debauchery of the currency. The speculators were the ones that screwed us over and over again, which is kind of like saying lawyer, okay? As in everybody turns, grabs a gun and shoots. Here's the word lawyer and they shoot. I can see that happening down the road. The same will be true with speculators or the idea of something like that. Somebody will turn, they'll just shoot. Why? Because, well, they have experience and they've also changed their attitude about how to respond to such problems. So hopefully that helps a little bit. Cloud currency. All coin is collectible. In the long run, yeah, I know. Well, Mark, will you have coin collectors of that? Yeah, eventually there will be. Eventually there will be people first that are trading and exchanging. And then at a given point, civilization will stabilize out again in whatever form. Stuff will be resurrected as much as manufactured. Anything that's manufactured will have to be preserved as quickly as possible or you simply won't have any more. And people aren't going to wheel it out so that somebody else can steal it. There's going to be a process just like we eventually develop over time where a form of wealth is generated that can be expressed by everybody and understood by everybody and it helps with the formula of the translation of property. Since the guy who has the car that might have been preserved or the truck doesn't necessarily want 5,000 bushels of wheat, even though he's got the last pickup truck that actually runs and might actually save you a whole lot of labor, remember that you might want it. Somebody's wanting to pay for it. Well, translating that out so that you don't have to carry 500 bushels of wheat in the back of your horse-drawn wagons to buy that last pickup truck, well, you know. We could fight a war for it. Yeah, probably the guys who have the pickup truck would figure out shooting your ass for trying to take it just like a lot of stupid people would think they could shoot somebody to take it. You see? You mean to say that the people might just not roll over dead but instead decide to put a bullet in you because they know that you're coveting their property and so they're probably going to defend it just as well? Yeah. It might be good to get a little more civilized and become a little more peaceable and might actually get something done. But here, justice. Justice is different from thievery. You're going to your direction, okay, if I want to trade in something, we have to come up with an equity system here that everybody's going to be satisfied with, in which both sides are comfortable and satisfied with the expression. Now, the rule of the gun is only going to be good for so long, and eventually, like I said, people are going to figure out there ain't no more, and you kept shooting the stuff up you wanted to steal or you wanted to keep. If you were more peaceable, you'd have a truck, they'd have a truck. Everybody be happy. You see, there's where the problem is. And there's a lot of fools or incompetent idiots who are already thinking about it. They've always been the, I'm going to kill that semi-driver and take what he's got in the back. And we've always joked about, really? So when you do kill the driver and you get that semi-truck full of GM truck axles, what are you going to eat out? What are you going to eat in the back of that? Well, killing it. You think that after a while, people are going to figure out, you know, like if Banditos don't run for very long like that before somebody decides to exterminate them. Okay, I mean like it'd be just general the population I know I was really could have used those truck axles so we could make more trucks so we could move more food so we could have more goodies so we could you know keep the system running You can piss off enough people and everybody everybody will put a bullet me out of policy. I know what understand why Because if you go if you become notorious in that way, there's nobody gonna trust you. I certainly wouldn't How'd you know? Well, stole it from these guys. Really? And so, you're eyeing my stuff up every time you come over here. Every time you want to get a little closer, a little friendlier, so you can eye up more of my stuff so I can be the next victim so you can get on the road and chuckle at somebody else about how you killed me and stole my stuff. Maybe I'll get together with my friends and we'll make sure that doesn't happen. You look at Chargers Sierra Madre, the Banditos. I don't even know, steak and batches? Well, towards the end of the movie, you saw what happened to them and made them dig their own grave, have one last cigarette, and that was it. Boom, in the hole. One of you got a DuBouros gringo. I was eating a DuBouros. Would have been wealthy Banditos. Not so bright a Bandito. Anything else? That's it, Mark. Larry, Jim in there, please, go ahead. $17, $18. today. That's going to jump up fairly quickly I'd imagine. So that's pretty much the way it's been for the past couple of years. If you want to get something that has value, go out and get you some silver, junk silver. Junk silver will always retain some kind of value and it's something physical that you can hang on to. And definitely make sure you have it in your physical possession. That's my suggestion. Get your supplies in first, your water, food, beans, bullets, Bibles, that kind of thing. Get those things in first, and if you've got extra money, store some in silver. You can hopefully always convert it later. They don't want you to be able to, but silver should always have some kind of value one way or another. Yeah, you can have coins and stuff, but I mean, when they're charging $200 for a hamburger or whatever, there's going to be an awful lot of coins you're going to have to have. They'll jump up in value exponentially as inflation kicks in and things go to hell. make sure you've got supplies in first. I mean, really good story out there. It's called the first hundred things that disappeared in the Yugoslav war and that's a good list of things like sewing kits and toilet paper and propane tanks and you know, these kind of things. Extra items of those nature will be good for bawl and if you have them it will be good for bawl. You know, maybe they're gonna have to eat at some point that they're not. I read that a long time ago in the fan plan. I remember reading that article and that and it was very challenging that what he went for found like a big learning curve. I think for a lot of people a lot of things that we think because we haven't went through this that we think hold value he had found many of the same items there no value. It turned out it came down to the most base actually had the most value things of that nature means whatever something you could eat, clean up with, bar soap, things I think disappeared quite readily. When you would rather have a towing kit or half a case of sardines or something of that nature or a jumbo roll of toilet paper that announce a goal. And that's kind of, I think, trying to make, making the list of that. Ammunition and from things for your weapon or whatever. supplies in first. Your money is better put into these items that you can trade that wants to cook something is going to be awful needful of one of those little 20 pound propane tanks to run a cooker. Maybe they don't even know how to start a... I've been using my wood stove here this winter to cook a lot. Bacon and eggs, you know, you can throw a can of soup on it, all kind of things. I've cooked on it. I've even made a covered dish on the thing. I mean, I've got the thing up, it's hot, I'm not having to use my propane stove. I've actually been learning how to use this. Depending on the heat of the stove, you might have to wait a little longer and think a little differently, kind of plan your meal out ahead, but probably I'm not using propane. Propane can be expensive. I've got a propane refrigerator, so that's pretty much what I'm using my propane for this winter. Are you familiar with char cloth? With what? Where you take a little tin, poke two holes in it to the... whatever you use, it has to be 100% cotton. And you put them in there, put it over the coals, You wiggle the top and the bottom of a 1,000 inch size hole and you poke little sticks in there and then you just wait until the can cools to touch it and then you open it up and you take it out, you take that little piece of cloth, maybe a quarter size piece and you can use a flint and steel on there and a piece of fat wood which is a resonated pine and you can make a fire. You can put your hole in an altoid and everything you need. I'm making custom exotic wood handles on them right now. But I have those on hand and I mean I got enough light to last me until Jesus comes back. They last a long time. They're like diameter, 4 inches long. You can get them now at $398 which is the price. They're made by UnitedCupery. Put those on there so you can put it on as a necklace and wear it. A key chain emergency device. firemaking that's a really nice thing to have because they last but that often fatwood there's your basis for making a fire. I've seen people do that. I've seen people take petroleum jelly and dip balls in it and use that as a quick starter. Yeah. I didn't even call him jelly. Was that mobile? But I am. I mean it's sort of people are going to need to know you're going to need to know this to cook. You're going to need this to stay warm. I mean, do you think when civil War hits the fan that you're going to be able to get propane and other supplies. Do you think your electricity is going to be working in your home? You know, one thing at the, you know, like a duct shop that I bought, oh, 120 years old or more, and I use that things to get is just a guideline. Yours are going to vary. You might want to get you some medication, some case, some extra reading glasses. You know, I'm up in my fifties. The site starting. I did read where, uh, an ingredient in the Afron tea that, uh, help bring that back if your site is a killer generation, degeneration. Yeah, but once you start going natural health, we've mentioned it. The things that people have. We read that far into your extreme and then the team might not even have an effect on for something like. All of our people over the years, I can't remember the process name, forgive me, it's been probably over 12 years since the last friend did it, but, regiment. He wore glasses both for reading and for distance. And what's interesting, after three months of going through this regimen every day, eye exercising is what it was. He did away with his long range glasses and knocked down the reading glasses to about one quarter of the strength that they were. Exactly. Now I heard on the radio that you get by and try and keep your eye on it and bring it back and you know, giving those eyes. muscles working to flex this was what you're doing. Just like any other muscle in the body. It's finally gotten past that point. You lose your sight and you can't, guys. Typically, supposed dreams, they actually call it ocuvite, that kind of thing. Beverly was eaten by England before going on night missions because they found that it did have a positive effect on night vision particularly. Do you think that contributed to their ability Element purple, that's the material. Yes, what you're doing is you can eat specific foods and increase your potential to develop more, greater quantity, but you still only have so much. Your natural night vision is reinforced over and over again for so many cycles in the evening. At a given point, you reach the limit. You can't go any farther, so to speak. The juice is gone. Literally what happens, it's burned off by white light. And it's only going to be good for so many processes of exposure and then back you go. Sure. I read that it does enhance that. It's Bill Berry. They made Bill Berry jam in England. And we couldn't get what the jam we were accustomed to for our pilots, strawberry and whatever, as easily. And then they found that it did usually have a beneficial effect on night vision. I'd have to go through the inventory. I don't have that right in front of me. But there's a number of different fruits and vegetables that you can use to bolster vision. I'm not sure about carrots. I mean, what's the word about carrots? I'm not sure. I'm sure carrots help anyway because again, all those natural, yeah, beta-carotene and all that. But pretty much everything probably picks you up. Everything offers, if it's organic or I should say uncooked, it's got more good stuff in it for you. Well, I think the wives tale goes in exceptionally well. Just in case you missed it, Today is the anniversary birthday, 106 years for the 1911. This is the day it was patented and first brought into official production right now. Today, on the 14th of February, way back when, did the man... 1911-45? Yeah. The original pattern too, I've pointed this out, because many people have said Well, you know, the Tokarev is a 1911 pattern and you know, a 1911 design. And people would know it's not. Yes, it is as a matter of fact. It only has one or two variants and modifications for a country that had a little less in the way of production capacity because of the lack of, you know. But the basic design, yeah, it looks more like the original Browning pattern pistols for the day. Remember, we've kind of pointed out, take a look at the 1903 and the 1906 Browning. and then take a look at the grip pattern for the Tokarev and you'll see the influence. And other than that, if you can take down a 1911, you can take down a Tokarev pistol with pretty much the same gun. So, once Mr. Browning got his weapon in motion, a lot of the people looked at it and made copies, and Star and Lama and everybody, the Ballister Molina Gums of South America, they aren't the only ones by the way, there's a hundred knockoffs. even tiny tot knockoffs if you ever have a I've got a book that is a collection of 25 automatic pistols going back through to their you know first production and it's thousands of guns each one is listed there's a picture of each gun in the book and about the time the 1911 shows up there were a whole flurry of micro not 1906 not the little pocket oh three you know your little pocket pistols with old 25 Colt minis but a micro copy part for part, piece for piece made by about probably a hundred different companies. Most of them are off the wall little machine shops in some of these garages. It's amazing. As soon as that gun came out, it influenced the firearms industry across the board. I can say Glock has done the same thing to a degree because, hell, everybody's made knockoff copies of the Glock in one form. They might shave the outer sides of it and make the mold a little different. But basically, the Polymer frame is out there because of Glock. And then look at all the BB or knockoff Glocks we've covered, like the Diamondback here in the last couple of years. Mini Glocks. But at 1911, just keeps chugging along. We know it's going to be around 300 years now, because if you watch the movie Aliens 4, Remember, they were offering it in the sales, the intergalactic sales 3D catalog while they were sitting there in the recreation room and it's spinning around and one of them goes, oh, I've got to get one of those. Of course, he's already got one, but he wants the fancier one with all the scrolls and everything on it. So just a heads up. It'll be around for a while. I noticed he didn't show any glocks in that though. Yep, the 1911. Happy birthday and thank you, Mr. Browning, for doing your part. By the way, it was patent number, what is it, 965. 4.5.1.9 There we go. If you deal with a gun so many times after a while, it's like, wait, no, sorry. Cops, cops, survival knives, lefty, F knives. That's what I'm making inspired copies of. Now I got cracker knife. So we need a, it's kind of narrowly looking, but right now in different stages of production. I steal and add some 10.95 in O1 tool steel. my micarta in that so I'm gonna be making more of those. The micarta handle they're like a inch and a half the height of the blade and nine inches old but that's what I've been doing in there that's not manufacturing guns but I'm making bushcraft knives. Now the knife you're looking at right now are you going with a wider is that you know the big thing right now I've noticed is to go with the not thicker by by the short thickness but the of the blade. Not the length, guys, but the height of the blade. The big thing is going over to the large format cutlery blade again. You know, like anywhere from 2.5 to 3 inches. Now, I would point something out about that. The knife is not necessarily a lethal weapon, guys. Everybody goes, well, you mean it's not a lethal weapon? I don't want to get cut by it. Well, you're going to slice me up. Guys, you know, the big bowies. Remember you've seen the traditional big bowie knife? Understand that part of the parlance of knife fighting was counting coo. And just because you got in a knife fight didn't mean that one person didn't walk away. And that's why the whole idea of if need be you could pull a weapon like a heavy fighting knife or bowie and slap a person upside the head with it. You'd knock somebody in the gourd with that, especially hit around the temple, slapping them with the side of the blade. with the weight behind it, you know, the girth of the blade, that would put a person down pretty fast and not necessarily kill them. You didn't necessarily want a feud on your hands or, you know, the guy is next to kin looking for you. Sometimes when you got into a little bit of a pissing match, you made it a little less lethal. So knowing how to use the blade and how to slap the blade or hit with the blade like a truncheon was something that was part of the formula. And that's why that thickness of blade was so popular, because it could be used in any angle with, again, the supplemental weight, centrifugal force, your arm sweeping, and either focusing the energy of the back strap if it was unsharpened, or using the side and slapping them, or of course, cutting and slashing and stabbing, your choice, depending upon direction, how you use the blade. So that's what I'm noticing, is that was really the purpose behind that years ago. Of course, it does make for a very strong blade. That's the other thing when you've got a very heavy, you know, half and you've got a it's a it's a taller blade Still tapering and thickness because it's got to be able to cut guys but it's a much stronger blade to work with for utility work and Cutting people to cutting small kindling is utility work carrying it around like a quarter inch a quarter inch blade is a beast everything I make at the most is going to be three sixteenths and but generally uh... only uh... eight-inch i got some some knives i'm working on that are quarter-inch and they're heavier than dickens i'm not kidding and we're talking about overall a ten-inch knife and uh... heavy i mean you could baton all day long with that thing the one i use my favorite one it's got a an inch and a half high blade uh... eighth inch thick you know with uh... four and a half inch handle it's uh... my car and that's like I could cut fatwood, which is resin as part, all day and still slice a piece of paper. So apparently when I did the annealing, I did it right. And then I put the whole super blue, the gun blueing. So I blew the blade sweet knife. It rolled up with different kinds of things that add nature and not just my card. I think wood actually, you know, because there's knives around wood handles that are what apparently would seem its weight. Card is a new material. So, you know, A lot of people say they don't get it wet, but I'm going to make some out of that, but most of it's going to be exotic hardwoods in that. Because they seem to hold up well, not to mention they look beautiful as well. Before I go too much further, I want to get on something else here, guys. I'm going to change direction. Again, Larry, you'll appreciate this. Guys, we've had some pretty clear and hot days, haven't we? Now we've lost most of our snowpack, our snow cover, and pretty well gone. OK. But I would point out something here. Ooh, magazines, tons of magazines. My kind of collection. There we go. Well, anyway, we're going to ask everybody to do something. I'll have more work, more and more of a map out on this as soon as I can. But guys, we need to be looking at taking out our radiological defense technology, our Geiger counters, if you want to call them that, and background meters. And we need to start surveying our areas. Not the water, the sky. We have had a lot of solar activity. It's getting no media coverage which tells me that they don't want anybody to think about it. Well, we're going to make you think about it. Number one, we need to start surveying the areas. You can even start even though there's not an official site. But we've got many, many, many people listening from all points of the compass. We literally cover the country and in fact the world. But if you have the Civil Defense Radiological Defense Technology, Craig from Forbidden Knowledge, of course, offers it. So it is readily available that way. What we need to have you do is start surveying who, what, where, when. In fact, it should be what, where, and when so that we can, and again, do a log book. You can use a three-ring binder with paper. You can do, I don't want to use just a computer. I want a log book. Everybody should have a radiological log book. We want to do a background survey across the country. There's more of us than are the bad guys. We can't count on the government to really do anything right for us. So we're going to have to do this ourselves. Now it would be fun anyway because there's a couple of neat things about this. We're going to learn to use our technology better. A lot of you already invested in this technology. So let's break it out and use it. Now bust it up, break it out, and make it work. Probably, if you've got the, from Craig, you have the gamma radiation detectors, the CDV717, I'm pretty sure. That's the one that has the back that comes off and it actually can be rolled out as a sensor. I think there was another one which was not a CDV, it's got another designation, but it's a comparable model, done by one of the other contractors. It was basically in production overlapping with the CDV series of units. The 7-17 is the one. Now, this is a design so you can reel it out, you can leave the meter inside like in a bunker or a fallout shelter or whatever. You roll the sensor out and leave it outside and you would be doing surveys of the environment progressively. Well, we need to do that and we need to look to the sky. Has anybody gone out and tried to look at the sun for the last three or four weeks? You know in the past you could go out and look at the sun and you could pretty well look at it with a problem, but you've got enough flaring taking place that the upper atmosphere and the atmosphere itself is supercharged. Have you noticed that? This has nothing to do with, well, man and climate change and global warming and global cooling except for the light bulb in the center of our solar system. Now, all the other systems you have, which are class Geiger counters, whatever, can be used for surveying also. Sensitivity varies. It's argued by Craig, actually, even, in that some of the people that, well, some of these sensors were grossly over sensitive and really wouldn't necessarily be valuable. Well, in this case, for again, aerial surveillance, they're optimal. So if you have either the Civil Defense models or if you have Any of the ones available through Grainger or industrial safety supply companies, many people bought these upper end units that cost $6, $7, $800, even $1,200 easily. And they work really well. And in fact, they'll cover beta, gamma, the full spectrum, everything we need to know about what's going on. You learn to master your machinery and you're going to be doing just fine. What we need to do is a complete survey of the area where you are by stepping outside, taking a reading, confirm the reading, do a second check, log it in your book. If you want to do two surveys during the day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, that would be best. If you do one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, that would be optimal because, well, Mark, the sun's not out. That's true, but it'd be interesting to see what our residual background radiation levels are. This has nothing to do with Fukajima. It has nothing to do with the Pacific. This has to do with up above. And again, it's not what they're saying, it's what they're not saying. Why? Well, I used to fly a lot. Guys, they used to give us solar notification, solar threat warnings. If you fly a lot, you go up to 30,000 feet, there's a lot less atmosphere between you and that light bulb in the middle of the solar system, okay? They're not doing anything like that and haven't for quite some time, but I know there is no doubt we have excessive solar activity taking place right now. I count on the system, there are a bunch of lions, lion sack of turds, climate change, they tell you right off the bat that they're whores. Okay, whatever money gets thrown at them, the lion sacks of BS will fabricate whatever. We have the ability and the technology to do an overall national survey based upon thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of sites So we need to get working on this now even though we don't have a central location for the moment We're gonna work on a page for this working on it right now or you got somebody else in motion The idea behind this is we can do a separate inventory or report Now the fit the mechanical log is because well the computers might go something might be able get lost but a logbook You can go back through and reenter the data as needed if something happens to your electronic registry. The advantage of this is that we have a double book system also. The computer could be glitched, it could be hacked, a number of things could happen, especially if we start to demonstrate that there is a heightened level of activity taking place. Now most important is that it doesn't necessarily have to be lethal, but you see if they were doing proper warnings, they would also be recommending that you do something we were talking about earlier, protecting your eyes. And again, those granny glasses that were made to deal with higher levels of radiation down there in Florida. You know, light. Well, it really come in handy when it comes to knocking down a lot of the harmful energy that you can be exposed to. Overhead cover is another positive thing. Doesn't take much to block what might be happening, but you need to know what's going on in the first place. So this is a dual, this serves at least two different purposes. A, we're perfecting our local expertise with the technology. Two, we can set up a cooperative program that allows us to evaluate the overall exposure levels. Now remember when you do a who, what, where, when with a report like that, you have different, your entry, you have it across top of the page, just write what, where, when. Okay, remember altitude your overall logbook should be able to fit your location is not going to change Make sure that you enter your altitude confirm that with all the other technology out there GPS is wonderful for that guys. Probably with mapping to the ideas not just complaining about problems. Okay. We're at the top I do put a close I want to get that out because already talked about this morning. We're gonna be talking about more Talking about it again to watch again. If you've got the CTV pretty sure it's the seven seven That has the survey plate and attention flop. You can get it out of the way from your location, put it outside, keep the unit set up, and practice using it the way the unit was designed to be used. Excellent opportunity. Practice, practice, practice. Got home Republican. Cal Pervil, ladies and gentlemen. The everybody out there, guys, stay focused. Stay the course. Organize Army equipment. Train as militia. We'll see you all tomorrow. And again, keep on
