Mark Koernke discussed gas mask selection, proper fitting, and training protocols for preparedness. He addressed caller questions about wearing masks with beards and long hair, recommending trimming facial hair for proper seal and using swimmers' caps for hair control. Koernke provided detailed information on various mask models available from suppliers like KeepShooting.com and MaineMilitary.com, noting that several models had sold out during the broadcast. He emphasized the importance of practicing shooting and performing tasks while wearing masks, and discussed alternative protective equipment options. The show concluded with a fundraising appeal for Liberty Tree Radio's mixing board replacement, inviting listeners to donate for an April drawing with prize boxes.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. 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 to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free gentlemen. This is the intelligence report I have our corny a closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on behind the lines in occupied territories west, southeast, east and north. Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com and we are on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good. We got some noise in the background, just so you let Ed know. Little bit of a rattle. If we have somebody who is needing to mute up, you need to mute up your cranks. Muted. Butter. Losing Sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, southeast, and east. Second. By the way, today's date is Thursday, the 20th of April. It is the 8th year of the Ethiopian, Fabian, Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K, 2017. Old Earth Calendar, 2017. Year of Conflict, Year of Sword. Again, get a gas mask, get a gas mask, get a gas mask- yes, I have mentioned this more than once and repeated it for a reason. Like I told you Anderson, as a radio operator, if you are trying to emphasize and get something through clutter because it doesn't seem to be getting through, you repeat everything three times. Anyway, it is Well, it's been a rainy, it's starting to rain again while we're talking. We've got some more rain coming down. And that little blue streak we had that was blocking the two fronts, maybe it moved to the north, maybe it just got closed up. But we have whatever the weather engineers are doing with their radiological technology, their wave technology. We now have a gray, gray, solid uniform, but not really dark front, and no wind. Still, the water rain is coming straight down. It's in pittery saturation form. It's race paddy time. It's spring in Michigan. Flowers are blooming, by the way. All the buds, everything's coming out to little green leaf now, the size of your thumb or bigger. Not all the vine plants are like that, but certainly all the trees, the maples, even the oaks, everything's in motion now. And the tulip trees are out too. It's the pink leaves, the big flowers, big tulip trees. Anyway, there's something I wanted to do. I don't have time to do it during the program here. Somebody shot an image to me of a really cool optical unit that's available. I need to find out more, but I'm going to have to swimwear. OK, that's unique. I'll have to find out more about that in a little bit. But anyway, for everybody out there, get a gas mask, get a gas mask, get a gas mask. Now, I've mentioned that more than a few times for a reason. Let me double check here. I'm going to go over to KeepShooting.com because this morning the prices could have changed there and I don't know. I keep mentioning that to you and forgive me. Give me an update. If I send you somewhere and something's not happening, call into the program and let us know if it's gone or if it's already changed because it can happen even as quickly as we mentioned on the air. Someone get on the phone and say, the guy is getting you stuff and they'll actually stop doing it, guys. It's the kind of stuff the Fed does. Anyway, Go ahead, caller. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. We've got a lot of guys on the team with beards. What suggestions do you have as far as, you know, gas masks with beards? Well, let me, let me, I'll stop here right there. Let me give you a little story. Years ago, my dad was a fireman, so was my oldest brother, okay? And back in the 70s, Two groups were the Beards starting to come back in big. Number one was the Navy. Number two, firefighters. This was back in the day when everybody had rights. Of course, we all have rights. But the Scott Act was coming into service just before that. It was the premier air purification, air quality system. You carried a 15 minute tank on your back or a half hour tank if you want to carry the doubles. And all of a sudden guys said they had a right to wear a beard in the fire department. And what happened is they fought it and said, no it's a safety issue. You guys are going to have problems with the Scott Airpacks. No, you don't know what you're talking about. We have a right. We're going to wear our hair. We're going to wear our beard. So they all got their beards going. First time they got into a major fire, They found out that the air seal was almost non-existent and of course these guys got to suck some old smoke the way my dad when he was going into the fire department back in the 50s. He was called Smoke Eaters for a reason guys. And I can remember even when I was little these guys coming out of the buildings you know hacking up black stuff and coughing and turning around after he got cleaned up going right back into the fire. I remember that like a main street, the Kresge, one of the drugstore fires, it was horrible. Then they got to Scott Airpacks and everybody was very happy or been religious about wearing the air so they could breathe while they were fighting the fire. Well, the beards came in and the problem is that you cannot get an effective seal. There are some tricks, including Vaseline. That was one that everybody did try and use, but it's like you got to smear the Vaseline on when you use it. And nobody liked the effect of having to clean it off afterwards. Yuck, a greasy beard, everything, and get all your clothes. So that was the first solution. The next was becoming Amish. Your troops could all become Amish. You know what I mean? There's different cuts for different Amish groups. And one of them actually, what you do is you trim the beard underneath along the gas mask line. And you shave it so that you get a good seal. My only problem with that is it's kind of like you got this big nose, your beard up front. And I appreciate that because I've had a beard in the past and I know all about that. But when you're doing the thing with a gas mask, you've got to scoop the beard up and get it inside the mask with you. Which kind of creates this extra little fuzzy feel that you've got in front of your breathing apparatus and your speak meter and all that, your resonator. And so it's like eventually you find the guys that know they have to use a gas mask, you'll probably be shaving your beard. or at least trimming it down short, doing the Amish cut around the line and then going that way. Yeah, that might be a new trend, you know, exactly where your model beard or a guess is. Oh yeah, you bring the guy and tell him, oh you must be using M40. Yeah, exactly. Oh my god, I can see you have that perfect line. Oh my, yeah. And of course you go to the hairstylist and they have these little plastic molds and you line it out then they do all the trim for you even. Remember when they finally unmasked Darth Vader, he did not have a beard. So repeat. When they finally unmasked Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi, he did not have a beard. Right. Oh, yeah, and he should have had plenty of time. But he had lots of maintenance droids and they were doing all kinds of good things to help him there. You know, he had every... Remember, it's the future where you have many other things that can help to deal with the problem when the time comes. But all the other Jedi had beards. Well, yeah, see that's what... Yeah, that's true. Well, but again, the problem is what was he wearing, you know, for what and so forth. you with my own eyes but it'll kill you. I'm already in pain this is hurting a lot the electricity really did me in. I want a voice emitter on my gas mask like that like he had. Well they actually make it effective. I don't know if anyone can hear. Now they make an effective device you could do now you know that don't you. They actually had this little thing that was made up in sci-fi circle that's like a microphone. and it's about all the size of your palm and it wasn't very thick it's only about like maybe uh... it's a bit of electronic it's not just a resonator it's electronic resonator but the thickness of your index finger and that could be set right over your voice meter going to get the week of bring order to the country as the destruction of the empire it was not what you were supposed to be for Vader yeah well you know I I I jumped to the right side Hey, I want to do something while you're right here, caller, real quick too. For everybody, I just went over to keep shooting and four or five masks have sold out that were not sold out as of this morning when I checked. I was doing this the wee hours in the morning and I told Paige was active, there was nothing missing. Now I'm just going to give you a little heads up. The M65 Dragers are all gone. The Israeli Civil Defense masks all sold out last night. This is not something over the last few days. This is last night. The Mistral Safety masks are gone. They sold out. The Russian Children's masks, somebody was smart. And I know who did this, somebody else in the industry. The Children's masks for $13.95 apiece. Somebody swept in and bought them all. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen here. The Children's masks are the hardest thing to acquire. If you can't find any children's masks, and you probably won't be able to now, okay, I've looked at now five companies, there's a bunch of other ones I've checked. As a case in point, the Mestel mask, which I haven't looked over at the main military, he could be already drained out too right now. As a precaution for your units, I don't know if you guys have picked up any of the Czech Army Casually Gas Masks yet. Have you done that? Yeah, everybody's on their end to do that as far as... I would recommend doing it while you can, only because... They just standardized on the 40mm NATO. These are 40mm. These are 40mm, but they have the hose and they have the tank system. However, they'll take a standard 40. The reason I bring this up... These masks are also a one size fits pretty much everybody mask because they're a casualty mask. So for a spare mask to have for wounded, which is a good idea, they're also in the event somebody needed a mask, pretty much they're going to cover anybody. I don't know how small that would go. And I would point out, guys, if you need smaller people's masks, ask for the zeros and the ones. They kind of wonder why, well they'll know why if they start to think for a minute, because the size zero and size one adults go pretty much down to children sizes, down into the smaller range. So you can cover most children, not every one, but most children with a zero or a one. You will find those to a degree in the M10s, not as much, but you will find them in the possum masks, both in the black, the Russian GP5s, Now the GP5s they are charging more for, but the GP5 and the gray which don't have the IR protection, those are still running about $13 apiece. And the advantage is you can get small, small masks for children that way for less price. Okay, $12.95 apiece still. And if you tell them, I want the size zeros and the size ones you have. I want ten of each. They're going to be real happy because people don't usually want the small sizes, okay? But if you're ahead of the curve, that's how you can deal with children's masks without spending 30, 40, 50 dollars a mask. I mean, they'll go quickly beyond that, but right off the bat this morning, all these masks were in stock. One, two, three, four, five, five models are now out of stock. So again, on that note, long hair with masks is not a problem, but you're going to find out real quick that you're really going to want to pin your hair. There are a couple different tricks there, by the way. One that even some of the militaries used are swimmers' caps. The reason I would recommend that now, you can get them in OD green, you can get them in gray, you can get them in black, so they're actually in tactical colors. And if your mask, if you can't get a hood for the mask, Then this is another solution for dealing with controlling the hair if you're not going to cut it. So just a heads up on that. Very simple solution, but it actually works. Again, the solution for most people, for the guys, would be to cut your hair down to military, not necessarily a brush cut, but you better cut it as short as you're willing to go. And again, with the facial hair, trim that back. Or trim it off. Mustaches are not a problem. If you need a lip ferret, remember that's a good term, a lip ferret to keep you happy there and keep your upper lip warm, not a problem. But if you're looking to keep the beard, if it were a war with rules, then you probably could do the beard thing. But we've already seen, we've now seen high chemical agent deployed more than a few times right out and in your face. So the writing is on the wall what they're planning on doing. And if we're looking at nuclear, you've got to have masks. Guys, the number one way that it's going to incapacitate your personnel is inhalation of fallout. And fallout can straggle and lay. And while your half-life, your short half-life, low-range radiation issues are going to go away over a period of a few weeks, the other lingering components, which still have gamma range radiation issues, are going to be there in the dust and this is why you also need survey equipment and why you need again, dosmeters if you're going to go into what you believe are issue areas. Hey Mark. Go ahead, caller. I'm sorry. Another thing is with gas masks, there are a lot of people, they own gas masks and they own guns, but how many times do you actually throw out and shoot while wearing a gas mask? Yes. It's definitely where you see on a movie that somebody's got an M40 gas mask and they've got They have two filters on there. That's Hollywood. You only need one filter. And you're going to put that on your non-shooting side. So if I'm right-handed, I want to put my filter on my left side. That way it's not going to affect my cheek-loaf so much. Now, even still, I'm going to have a bit of an offset. So it's something that you need to get out there, you need to practice. And don't just assume that it's Shooting is the same. You need to get out there and practice shooting on the range with the gas mask on. One of the things, this is another reason for using Airsoft. Airsoft will give you initial familiarization by an Airsoft that matches the rifle that you are using. You can go right now to any one of these Airsoft companies. If you've got an AR-15, I don't care what configuration you put together, it's available. And the advantage is you can burn a lot of pellets. Now here's what you do. Buy a whole, go to the dollar store, buy a whole big bag, couple bags of toy soldiers. Your choice of size, you can buy some of the big ones that are like five inches tall and you only get five or six of them in a bundle. Go get about $10 worth of those. Get yourself an Airsoft guys, put the gas mask on and practice every aspect of what you think you're going to do. By the way, you can mount all of your optics, even your night vision, on those Airsoft devices. For realistic, you know, again, if you can't, if you don't line up the target and pull the trigger at the same time and do what you're supposed to do, you will not knock a target down. And so you get positive reinforcement, you get a chance to actually see and visualize and advance. Next step, phase two, now you go to the range. Make sure that you've got a walker with you, somebody controlling the shooter, because people do weird things. I'm going to tell you this from personal experience. It's like they're in a closed box. People have a tendency to forget or get a little panicky. Some people are claustrophobic and they don't even know, they won't even realize that that's really what the problem is. uh... and that's why you need a guide you need a shooter coach with the person on the person just in the event they panic and their job first should be to control the muscle of that weapon always watch the shooter you're not you know again that the of the object the target area as long as the muscles downrange if he doesn't write or doesn't do it right if he or she misses that's not a problem But if they turn with their weapon, remember the objective is to keep the weapon pointed down range and into the target area. But I have seen people utterly panic or completely forget basic safety because that blinder called the gas mask is on. Because it's like wearing a set of blinders. And some people, well that's the reason, let me point this out, it's why gas mask designs, if you'll notice, went to bigger and bigger glass lens areas and surfaces and they designed them in a very specific way to try and create the illusion of lack of confinement. If you look at the 40, for instance, look at the way the lenses are configured. It creates the illusion that that bridge is not even there in the middle. There's a reason for that and also it opens up the side to give a more panoramic impression, which it does. The bigger the lens, the more visibility you have. The four sheet is the ones I was talking about the A4s. They're like the 40 and depending on what the prices are for the 40s you're running into for $99.95, they're a comparable mask. They're the replacement for the M9 copy that was made by Nokia by Finland. And again, like the 40, they have the option to go with the filter left or right for the very reason you mentioned so that your rifle marksmanship can be improved in the mask. By eliminating the obstruction of the filter, it does not get in the way of the alignment of the sights and to a degree being able to get some limited cheek weld to the weapon. And it works. They're a very functional mask. None of the other masks are bad. Each one has its positive and negative components. There's always been different philosophies on how the filter should be configured. And even as we've done what we've done with the latest family, I guarantee at some point that somebody will be selling some banana box to another government agency and a totally different configuration will be put forward, not because it's the best solution, but just simply because they're going to sell them on something different. So just get used to that. Don't be frustrated by it. But when you can get the equipment that works for you, like you've already committed to a certain model, If you can't get that model or sufficient numbers, pick the next or a similar model that has the same basic features and characteristics so the cross training time is minimal. The Forchetta masks are available at Keep Shooting. I've not seen them over at Maine. They're $100 apiece. They're $99.95, but they are a very new mask. They parallel date the 40 coming into service. and the new defense mask that the Brits presently carry and the G of the Germans, which is a NATO mask. So again, it's a good idea if you can't get the one, if you're scrounging and you just can't find them for a reasonable price, you can't find them in the other direction. Major Surplus, by the way, there we go. Major Surplus has jacked all of their masks up to $30 apiece. Hey Mark. Go ahead. As far as the training goes, You know, your unit needs to be training with masks on, even just performing like normal mundane tasks like setting up bivouac. Do it with the gas mask on. You don't even need the filter in there. Just what the gas mask does is it reduces normal things we use to communicate facial expressions for example. You can't hear, you know, people can't hear what you're saying as well. A little bit more muffled so using your hand and arm signals becomes more important. control with a gas mask on, everybody on the team has a gas mask on. If things like that is going to get you more comfortable using them and your overall performance is going to go up, because if you can do it with a gas mask, you can darn sure do it without a gas mask even better. Exactly. And again, it should be the drill for donning the mask and then proceeding with the mission should be standard. So that's one of the things where the team leaders, you do not tell anybody about the implementation of gas or at least to give a gas order. Now your best bet or your best way to do this, just so it creates an optical verifier, guys, we've talked about using these for also combat operations anyway, if you go to somebody who does heating and ventilation, the cheapest concentration smoke that you can buy, which by the way is also non-toxic, are the air conditioning and ventilation duct test smudge pots. They're as small as a juice can, they come with pool type starters or fuse type starters. Both types can be available and both types are typically in the industry. The ones that are the size of an orange juice can generate the same amount of smoke as a standard military smoke grenade. The bigger ones are, of course, progressively more expensive and you can buy smudge pots as big as the military ones that will cover or produce enough smoke to cover a football field. I don't need that for my testing with my troops. I just use the smallest model, throw it and shout, yes! And it's the job of everybody to respond to the attack. In other words, stop, put the mask on, get covered, then proceed with the action. We got another caller. Go ahead. Yeah, this is BC again. I'm kind of... I can't get anybody that is needing some, but I came across an idea as an alternative, an emergency alternative, if no one can find what they want. Anyway, the U.S. mailman's guide are $6.29 or $6.99 each. Now, we use those in conjunction with the goggles that have padding that will here to your face, you should be able to use those too. If you can't get a real gas mask, these would probably still be available a little bit longer. And then you can get those at Airsoft for a couple of bucks. And you know what I'm talking about, the goggle type lenses? Right, there's several models. You can go to Maine. Actually, several companies have them too. And they have them in tan and green and black if you need a color or whatever. the face hugging goggles with these mass military respirators will be working a pinch. Now you still got to protect your ears guys because you get any gas or any agents in your ears it's going to work its way inside your body as well. So anyway think about the respirators with the face hugging goggles and maybe even consider getting a gas mask hood. I hope you do. Very good thank you and again Well, I was just going back over to Maine. It looks like pretty much they're in the totally opposite end of the country, number one. They're in the Far East Coast. And pretty much it looks like they have everything in stock that we talked about the other day, posting them. Probably one of the best buys still is the German M65 gas mask for $19.99 a piece. Those are the Dreggers, but these are really clean. There's a batch that came in, they're virtually brand new. The filters are not dinged like they've been traded and traded and traded again. I don't know what you're going to get, but in fact, call and ask here. These ones are really, you know, they're really clean. The lenses are nice, they're not scratched. I mean, they're like, they're just out of the package. I don't know if they are coming in the mat package that they originally came in. I bought them that way years ago. I haven't seen them for a while. But these look so clean that somebody had to have probably taken them out of the packaging. They are out of the packaging. It doesn't make any sense. They should have left them in the way that they did. They didn't need to be inspected. They are good masts. They are $20 a piece. They have been about $20. So that price has not changed. The M10s that we spoke about the other day are available still, the Czech or the Polish M10s or the East German M10s. The East German ones, the East German and Czech M10 gas-masked 3-pack for $39.99. There are filters for those available. If you buy, let's see, a dozen, they're $59.99, that's how I'd go. etc. Go ahead color. Those masks that you just mentioned are the ones that I picked up. I bought them in bulk here years ago and they are absolutely brand spanking new. The ones that I bought, you had to put your own lenses in, you had to put your filters in, you had to do the whole nine yards. Everything was individually wrapped from the factory or whoever manufactured them. Right, and you get a brand spanking new. You get three masks for $39, you're going to be sitting on top of the world. Yep. And they do have the chemical wells, actually they have only the small listed. Oh no they don't, hold on here. Hold on, they've got the mediums, 12 pack of medium for $19.99. Let's see if they have the large here also. I don't see, they don't mention the, oh wait a minute, here we go, select size. They do have large, very good. So they have large, medium, and small again, and they've got them in stock, and they list them as in stock, but what I can see, yes they do. So the black rubber gloves I told you about, the NBC gloves, standard US military, US rubber chemical gloves. You're going to want those, if you go the Czech-Kem suit direction, everything is in the package as far as I know and they still have those in stock. Let's double check that. And yes they do, they come with the gloves, they have the, of course they also have a magazine pouch and a knife scabbard cover for the, for the bayonet. How do you like that? which is kind of cool. But again, the idea behind that is that you're not going to put any of your regular gear out and expose it into the environment. The idea was to minimize everything, protect the rest of your gear, and work with a minimalist kit. So just a little heads up there. And again, the grade two Checkem suits, the sizes they have, oh, it's the one size fits most, as we said before, forgive me. And they're $14.99 apiece. So that is an average price for those. And again, other filters are available, too numerous to mention. Go through the page, if you've already standardized on equipment, then follow through and add more of the same if you've got new people that you're taking care of. If you're looking at non-combatants, most is for the least is. Now I will say this, there's a couple of new round-eye check masks which are not as in as good a condition as others are. So you want to pay attention to that. I've noticed that there have been different units that have been out there and available in the last couple months that have come in with the latest wave and I guess it's whatever the checks are presently getting rid of. Some of those look like they're virtually new. I have not seen each of the models because there's four at least, four different models. They're all of the same family of masks. They take a 40 millimeter filter that's a center system located right in the middle of the face. Lower chin, where they typically are, right in front of your face, of course. Forgive me, front of your mouth, of course, it's in front of your face. In front of your mouth, most of those masks appear to be fully functional. In fact, the Czechs were using them right up until just a short time ago. There's also the Polish MC1. Again, nothing to write home about. It is a standard military mask. Again, basket type headset, round eyepieces, voice mitter, and needless to say, 40 millimeter filter. $15 apiece. Serviceable enough. There are different prices you can look around and you'll find different prices for different units. And Polish, I will say this about Polish and Czech equipment. Very high quality, nothing you can complain about. They were top end on their nuclear, biological, chemical defense. But they also were typically higher standard across the board in the Warsaw Pact for the quality of the equipment that they produced, be it weapons, uniforms, equipment. chemical gear or engineering technology, anything that's metal. The checks were on top of the world on that, on the Warsaw Pact side, and had best grade everything, typically. So, again, the stuff that we're looking at here, more serviceable enough for our purposes, and we'll get the job done. Some people just ask me, Mark, the Russian gas mask adult is sitting there for $10. Yes. But what, again, those are, you want to keep those in the dark. Those are the cheapest mask out. You're getting a filter and basically a throwaway possum mask. The possum mask worked just fine. I have had thousands and thousands of these. I have hundreds of these here on this site right now that are different, you know, they're stored away in different locations and set up a different, different for different purposes too because some are vehicle operators masks others are hand me out masks when I carry a spare mask and I do that's the mask I carry for a spare because it is so small it's out of the way it's lightweight it's nothing fancy but it'll keep you alive okay and that's the Russian gas mask comma adult located at mainmilitary.com now we've got about 15 minutes left guys I want to touch on something else here real quick Oh, by the way, all these things are now not for sale. They're doing the same thing they're doing with DOD. You can't sell these to peasants outside of America. They might defend themselves from the United States and the Israelis when they dump sarin gas on ya. Of course, you won't be able to bug spray whenever you can. There are not enough gas masks to go around and the government of course knows this and doesn't have any plan on protecting you in any way, shape or form. Let's remind everybody of 9-11 where the Air Force and the entire government utterly failed the defense of this nation and we're supposed to rah-rah that. The US government utterly failed us, the Air Force utterly failed us, the military utterly failed us. If we believe the official story, well, they're going to kind of double tap and try to double step on that? They can't. The only people who are going to take care of you, especially in any of these first strike situations, is you. The government will take care of itself and fail you completely. Enough said there. Okay, we got a number of projects we've been working on as far as equipment goes and if there was confusion I'm going to point something out. Okay, I was able to acquire a backup, a backup small board so that we can bridge the need for a larger board. To help with that we're going to do a drawing and we're going to have six boxes. So heads up if you would like to be in the drawing here's what you do. You go to Well, first of all, this is a drawing to support replacement components for Liberty Tree Radio's main station. And again, we need your help as quickly as we can, so if you can donate any amount, that would be fine. These will be surprise boxes, but these are going to be really nice surprise boxes. I have been, like I told you in the last couple days, I've been sorting and going through stuff and also finding some very unique things that Just would be cool. Or they've been sent, actually. Some of these things have been sent to us by you, the listeners, and donated so that we can put them into the drawing, the next drawing that we have. So we've got a box of stuff. I'm going to do six. These are gift boxes for a drawing, which Ed, in fact, if you can call over here, let's pick a date. Of course, Thursday, so doing it tomorrow, that would be a bum rush, and I don't see doing that. So, Ed can call in, they're almost to the top of the hour, but not quite, we've got about 15 minutes. And we're gonna pick a date, a window for activity, but if you'd like to, you can start donating right now. And you'll get your name in the hat, so that when the time comes, we have six separate gift boxes. Each one will have a unique prize, I think each one will be different this time, because I know the will, let me give an idea. We have an Alice pack with frame. A number of blades. We have a number of survival tools. Not all, but most have been donated by our listeners to put into a drawing or a particular drawing we choose. So we're going to do it because we need to cover that mixing board. And if you'd like to be part of that, here's how you do it. You go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the Donate Keys. There are two of them. When you go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, Over on the right side there is a donate key. In the middle in the upper bar there is also a donate key. The one in the middle is up there in the brown line. You'll notice on the second line almost in the middle it says donate. Or is that donati? Well it could be donati, but I think it's donate. Anyway, donati, donate, donetti, whatever. Donate. You go there, tap that, and it'll take you to the donate box. Over on the right side of the page where you see Show Archives Yahoo Group, or just to the right of that there's another donate key right there. Tap either one of those. It will take you to the donate box. Scroll down to donate any amount. And what you want to do is put a title on it, drawing. In fact we'll make this, it will be the April drawing. April drawing. And donate however much you want, $5, $10. Each dollar gets your name in the hat and needless to say, more of an opportunity to win. We've got a big bucket we stir it up and make sure there's a little slip for every donation made. And then we pull a name out of the hat. We, of course, you send us a gift and then we send you a gift is how it works. If your name's pulled, that's one of the names that gets a gift. and again go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com libertytreeradio.4mg.com and when you get there go to the donate keys there's one up there in the brown track up at the top where it says donate or the yellow lozenge the button over on the right side says donate you can't miss it it's right over there by liberty's guardian banner just to the right of it right to the next to the archives for yahoo group and tap that and go to donate any amount. Make sure that your address is correct. Make sure that your address is correct. Please. Your address is sent automatically with a donation. Whatever your last address was that was there, if it wasn't the right one, is what they're going to show. Put notation for drawing, donation for drawing. and make sure that the address is correct because that's where we're going to mail something to if it's a package. So we're doing a drawing. It will be for the month of April and to support replacing the main mixing board. That's the project. And we can take care of a few other bills and a few other piece of electronics we'd like to again either replace because we're hearing some noise or again upgrade lines because we're going to go some heavier gauge technology and some gold and stuff. I already found some here by accident so I'm going to shoot it down to Ed. Some higher quality connectors and such. But it's all stuff that we need to take care of. Yes, we did. I covered the expense. Other people stepped forward when he mentioned it on a few of the other items. I wanted to clean power supplies. We picked out two. We made sure those are down there because that was a critical issue. Power is going to be crappier by the week and probably is going to continue to go downhill because the ring knockers are doing that intentionally to knock out private electronics. companies are doing this intentionally, the government is doing this intentionally. We're not panicking by it. It's just expected. You need to pick up a battery backup clean power supply system for your equipment. I won't stop everything, but all of these intentional long nonstop brownouts and rolls in power, those are designed to knock out the sensitive electronics and force you to buy more. Just that simple. Or to knock you out so that you're not able to do anything. Which for them is a plus plus situation, double plus good thing. For us, we're going to preempt that. Try to get hold of a, again for yourself, start watching for battery backup, clean power supply unit. It has to tailor it to your needs depending on what kind of equipment you're running. If you're running one of our micro rebroadcasting stations, you probably would want to put two or three of those under the table. Typically, with your station, you can run for, well of course you can run for 1 hour, 24 hours, or up to 3 days depending on what you buy in the way of the system. In each case, if you've got a 12 volt battery, car battery, and a few other solutions attached in a solar panel, guys, you can run indefinitely. And the clean power supply regulates and ensures that you're not going to get any hiccups or burps with your battery system. It can be used as an integrator to make that project work. So there's all kinds of solutions. We just got to make sure we keep pointing everybody towards them right now. And we do need your help, so donate to libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key, the drawing of course. We'll pick a date. We'll probably announce it at 8 o'clock. That'll be the way to do it. I think Ed's probably got enough stuff keeping him busy right now. But you can start and initiate donating, and we will have six packages. It will include a number of EDGED weapons. It will include some other training technology. It will include an Alice Pack and other goodies that were donated by one of our listeners. In fact, some of the items will be donated, have been donated by some of our listeners as a way to promote again the programming. We also have, we did have something happen though the other day. One of our British listeners, We sent a package all the way over there guys and it came all the way back after it sat there and wasn't picked up. Yeah, first time that's happened where we sent an overseas package to England and it came back. It got to where it's supposed to go and it sat there and was not picked up and came back. That was not a small amount. That was a much larger shipping bill. Isn't that fascinating? I think that's fascinating. Anyway guys, we need your help and we need to do as quickly as we can. So libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Donate to get into the drawing. It's for April drawing. That's what you want to put on the title for the donation. April drawing. Yay! And we will, of course, benchmark that. Everybody that can donate, whatever amount you can, will get you into the drawing. $5, $10, the more you donate, the more your name will be in the hat. and whatever amount you can. This will go right to ED for the operations for the station and that is its purpose this time. This is for specific long-term mechanical replacements, things that need to be done. I've even tracked down another board. I think that's where there's some confusion. We found another copy of the one we have in the main station here. I don't know if it's gone or not yet. We'll find out more, and suddenly we'll get a hold of the person. But that wouldn't be going to the main station in our other part of the planet. The idea was that we would have a secondary exactly like what we have here, or we'd eventually be able to set up yet another location, which is my goal, to have yet another location set up, primed, ready to go, 100% top to bottom, done. So we can run UltraNet, Hallmark, Golden Spike, Conventional, you know, Internet, which is, you know, piss poor by comparison with all of its problems and spying. And be able to broadcast and do local radio and also we do when the time comes shortwave because if we're not in where we normally would be. We are traveling to other locations more and more on a regular basis and traveling and gather reading around the country. So a mobile station would be something that is a high priority. Again, try to duplicate everything once again for the purpose of keeping the fight going. So if you want to donate, libertytreeradio.4mg.com, go to the donate key, donation, this will be for the April drawing, that's the title for it, make sure you double check your address so that it's correct so that if we pull your name and we reference that donation then the material is going to go to the right place. Also, we have announced in the past, you need to go pick it up. Some people have left stuff at the post office until they won't hold it anymore and that's what I found out about one of the packages. It sat there and sat there and sat there and the person didn't go to the post office to pick it up. I don't know if they were notified. Maybe the post office intentionally set on their dead hind end and did nothing with it. We'll find out. So, again, otherwise pretty much everything goes through. But there's a few unique situations. Most all of them is where people have not double checked. And that's why I'm harping on this. They've not double checked their address. And the address was an old one where they had moved and it went to the old address because that's what PayPal told us to do. Okay? So double check that donation, get all the information on those donation pages when you do make the donation. Anyway, before we go, there was another question here. What about the British gas mask? Well, I know there's some British World War II pattern, but in reality, many of those were much newer. They didn't change several of the masks for quite a few years. The M9 mask, there are several that are copies that are out there. Guys, they don't throw away molds. Gas mass designs do not go out, get outdated. If it's anything from the last 70 years or so, it's really not outdated. There are some that were less popular than others and don't make as much sense simply because of the filter design and because of the choices that were made because somebody had some sugar-daddy government contract, I'm sure, with whatever department. But for the most part, all they do is they sell those molds to another country, slide them sideways. Example, we were fighting in the Cold War supposedly, right? Well, mask designs that we made got slid over to countries that were on the periphery, and they turned around and made masks for the Warsaw Pact off of our molds for the Communists that we were facing off and gritting our teeth against over the battlefield. That's why those masks look so much like ours because they were. They were made on our molds that you and I paid for. It's just like the cover of a truck plant made by GM made the biggest truck plant in the world for communist Russia during the Cold War. Expanded it to a 27 square mile complex during the Cold War. The trucks that delivered the ordinance that may have killed your uncle or your dad or your brother in Vietnam were trucks that were built by GMC and were delivered to the communist Chinese who then delivered them to the Vietnamese and who then used them to provide munitions and equipment and basically built the other side of the war up. Same scam they're playing with us right now in Asia again. We built China up so they're getting ready to pump everything up for a bunch of dribble there. Anyway, next and last, we're almost to the top. You should be hearing the music here in a minute. Not right away though. I would remind everybody to take the time and also go over to ApexGunParts.com. ApexGunParts.com. They always have some ongoing sales, but right now they have a couple of goodbyes on mags and they're kind of catching up with Sarco for being a unique and interesting provider of cool stuff. What do I mean by that? Well, gun parts and all kinds of bigger pieces of equipment for and crew served weapons and things of that nature if you have an interest in uh... uh... yet they still have a week ago but go back to back i believe that they don't uh... but i have time for this i think change their page of the i hate this garbage i really do anyway uh... they do have looks like they have the uh... steel they are air fifteen slash uh... the setting magazines on sale for the moment uh... they do have them they were actually put them on sale about the time of the Knob Creek machine gun shooting and they haven't come down yet that I know of so we'll find out what we can here and... Unmuted. To... There should be the same price. They also have Bushmaster AR-15 20 rounders $10 apiece. Eh, it's okay but that's not the greatest price in the world but they are Bushmaster mags and they do work. Teflon coated, aluminum, usual mil-spec stuff. Anyway, we are at the top. I'll see what I do to find out more about Apex. They goofed up their page and screwed up and... I hate that garbage. Somebody needs to slap someone's side of the head on that BS.
