A figure walking 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 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 and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But 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 taken snumber and 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 family farms. 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 won't leave. 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 the faith to stand with pride. And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God, freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, still the land of the free? Your name is Hologens Report, currency, victory for all. brothers on and behind the lines in occupied territories Southwest, AM&FM Microstations, SeaStations, and Ultra are friends in the slower 49 which includes the Stiff Jeffery which is the southern border where all the BS is continuing as it always has while lies continue to be generated out of Washington. Treachery of course emanates from there and that's all you're going to get against America is treachery and betrayal. the outlying states, the territories, and of course the 24-hour clock for everybody out there. Some of you are staying awake late in the evening, some are getting up early, and others are well just in the right place, right time. However you look at it, I'll say thank you to all of our friends for stopping in and saying hi and joining in the programming here. It is, of course, Friday. It's Cinco Damo Day. It is also Quarter Bastard Friday. It is the, I'm wrong, the 19th October is the... and I get correct, I don't have a calendar. In fact, days have just been running together here. Yeah, Mark, you should know the date. Yeah, I would think so, but we're kind of in idle mode for part of the day here. And again, it's October, it is the 10th year of open Sabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2000 and an older calendar 2018 year of conflict, year of deception. And it's rainy. Often on rainy something, they know whether people kind of got it right, but just a little sprinkly and then it's not. And then a little sprinkly and then it's not. But she ignored that. Pretty well got a bunch of other work done in preparation for commemorating Donald Betcher. And we've had a lot of friends over. Nancy cooked a whole bunch of food here. Other friends came in and, of course, prepared a few dishes. So everybody had more than enough to eat. Of course we had pop and everything on hand and Michigan cider and all kinds of good stuff. Everybody should have got enough to eat and drink and then we enjoy each other's company. We had most of the shop ones come in and gave a bit of a service. And then of course everybody taking a look at the pictures and the photographs that Debbie pulled out and everybody goes, I remember that or boy I really remember that or oh my God who's that guy with all the hair? Somebody, well it's an RH bracket when you're looking at somebody Well, wait a minute, it's the same person, but a lot younger. So anyway, a lot of our friends, we were not, this wasn't supposed to be commemoration yet. This was supposed to be a visitation under the hopeful assumption that Don would be with us today, that Don would be here. In fact, much of our friends that are listening will be up here tomorrow at the same time, or, you know, tomorrow during the day. We'll be helping out with other things. We just need to get finished. We can go out of the way They're done and we don't have to worry about them again We got the basic North deck before everybody showed up here. We screwed in everything last night of course My middle son did a lot of the you know Unique work that needs to be taken care of since he was up here and we started pitching in everybody did their part So we got the North deck looking pretty cool. I come I say it looks you could dance on it. You ain't it. Yeah doesn't move. There's no shutter shake or any kind of rattling. Trust me on that one. We built, well, brick dog house method. Debbie is doing well. Again, she's got friends around her from all over the northern part of the state here. And again, a lot of people have come and gone somewhere here right now. We just had several of our other friends show up and her friends, you know, different situations she's in. All of her fellow employees, you know, came in, a bunch of them came in that could, that weren't working. They all said hi and were able to sit down for a while and went over the pictures and everything. Everybody had a chance to tell a few stories. Remembrance for our good friend Donald Betcher and everybody's missing him already. We expected that. So just follow those guys, you just figure where he's going to be there. Like I've been saying, when you pull the yard, the first thing you expect to see is Donald, and you know, Donald at the door. He'd wave and wait to make sure he knew who was there and then he'd come out and he'd always reach the vehicle and spend some time there usually because you're playing quick catch up and there'd be stuff that needs to be offloaded. Sit down for a break. Great event. Go ahead, call or jump in there please. Yeah, well, we've talked over here currently on this end of the coast, but I just wanted to note as I did this morning in the chat room in the micro effect, but It's significant because it was the, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they marked the end of the American Revolution and you know, British and Cornwall assigned their terms of surrender and I just thought that that was fitting for today's. For the closing of an era for a friend of ours. You know what's funny? You have Washington's birthday, what, and Jazz V's Don Yankee D? I hadn't really thought about that. We've been so tied up with everything. But yeah, I just wanted to note that and thank you again to you and Dom for putting so much of your guys' lifetime into this fight and God bless America. Thank you. Appreciate that. You jogged my memory and now I'm going to have to sit down with everybody and say, hey guys, let's sit down with the calendar here. And I was like, wow. Everybody is just... People had different nicknames for Don, depending on how they were associated with him and in certain circles. He was known by other monikers and it's kind of funny because everybody still felt the same way about him and everybody knew what to expect from Don Betcher. So that's a marking in of itself. And many different people from different walks of life were, you know, were, you know, step up to the plate and honor his memory in the process and be there, you know, again to I remember, I just, like I said, the sad part is I was hoping that the house that we were building here for him would be the place where he would be for, you know, the next 20 years. We got into war, we always joked, you know, hey, they got a 500 pound bomb for each of us, I know that, we know that. So, you know, something kicked off, maybe not so much, but for the time being until then, the idea was that there'd be some comfort, you know, he'd be able to relax and enjoy and we'd get him into the house. Unfortunately, again, where he passed, Eric built the stairs so we could get him back out. Then built the front stairway so we have that complete, it was rock solid, and that's the route that he had to take to leave and for us to say goodbye to him here. So we aren't going to give up, we're not done with anything. It's just, you know, we've got a lot of other things where you also know it's going to happen eventually with each one of us. We just don't, you know, roll as ice, you know, who's going to be first and who's next in line. And we just got to keep up, you know, keep, you know, keep up the understanding that guys, we're doing this so we can hopefully teach somebody to pick up the same ideas and to understand what we do or share what we understand to the point where they can then teach somebody else and share themselves in the process or get motivated to do so because each person has their style each person is unique but all of us are formed by the people that are we are there have been our teachers and All of them had to be pretty patient in order to be our teachers in the first place because typically we're all bullheads no matter what and the older you get the harder just for you to change your mental processes or change your ways and I understand that while Don has some pretty good attitudes about life He didn't know everything he was to know about what was going on in the Patriot effort our good friend Well more than one of our good friends, but man Some of our good friends like Jack Otto were very very patient and worked very hard Don had an epiphany and it's just kind of locked in everything all the tumblers set. He was like oh I see and from that point forward He was on target, stayed on target. So I want to say thank you for all the support for our friends. I appreciate all the mail and all of the cards and letters. So thank you. God bless you. Debbie's of course, you know, not a well, she's able to relax a little bit. She was overwhelmed and she's still going to need our help. Everybody here is going to need our help to make sure we complete what we started. And I think it's a good thing. It's not a good situation, but we're making the best of the situation we have with the good people we have to work with. And everybody's done their part there. This is Cody Amo Day, I should point out. And as a matter of fact, somebody was asking about, and they were asking, well, what was the rating? How do you score? Well, they did actually have a scoring system. And Don was a pretty competent shooter right from the get-go. He did relatively well. Some of the guys had a big leg up because they just had more time on the range with a half-inch gun or any gun for that matter and just you know the more you shoot it's like flying airplane. The more experience you gain and the more you develop your skills and you dig it seriously. And so yeah Don was just into the competition 50 caliber shooting and he was a successful shooter. Edward took a few trips with him and had fun finding one of the ranges one time that's a quite a story unto itself. got to see a big chunk of Pennsylvania and a lot of ranges in Pennsylvania. A lot more than you can think. So that was one of the life experiences for those guys on tour. First, it was one of our regular guests and did the program with Don on a regular basis and I'd skip off the air, was very happy with Don as a host or he had a slice of, you know, with mutual interests because he was a quick student and was already had interest in shooting arts. So it was very useful to have a person who was competent and intelligent and well-read on the subject because they'd work off each other. Skip, of course, passed away a number of years ago. And he being one of the primary movers and shakers in the 50 caliber shooters association to develop the organization itself that's been handed off to others. He was very, very, very satisfied with Don's performance and his level of knowledge and it really helped, of course, when there were other subjects. Like I said, off the air, when you didn't hear about it, these guys bounced off each other and actually came up with solutions in other areas that affected rifle marksmanship and night vision technology the whole nine yards. And it was, again, the people who were out on the rubber meets the road, the people actually applying and working with the technology. Optics is another area, just conventional optics. Again, there's a lot of people that have input there. But when you get more into the specialized areas of thermal and night vision, not so many people are interested because if you, you know, in reality it's pretty pricey once you start getting into the resource, you know, that's needed to be able to develop the skills. And thermal guys was an arm and a leg and your first born son. And Don was willing to get into it. Like I said, he immersed himself in the technology. A lot of people don't realize this, but he was the go-to person in that particular area, that circle, for improved or advanced or unique optics. And the guys, actually some of the stuff that they invented or first of all theorized on, they literally brought to the industry. So, Dom was a mover and shaker in ways most guys won't even realize it. In fact, it affected their, at least their shooting experience, long range shooting experience on the range. in several different areas of expertise, areas of interest. Another thing, and I do have a whole bunch of, and I was accumulating the scuba technology, I was hoping to get him back in the water, but that didn't happen. But Don was a very confident diver too, and had been in the water in a number of different locations around the planet. So I got a chance to see a few things in that perspective you and I may not see. I doubt I'm going to get a chance. Too many other things left to do in life above the surface of the water and I love swimming, but probably not getting into this school unless I need it for tactical purposes. Again, before that I'll probably be skimming in at high speed and dropping wordets on the enemy. So, again, God bless him and we got a little bit of time before the bottom of the hour of break and I know Edwards probably got some great, you know, some mere candy there. One of the songs that would be great to hear Again, Steve Voss's version of the Star Spangled Banner. And if you got something else queued up, that's fine, but here's what we can do. We'll play that, whatever you've got planned for the bottom of the art break, which is good. And then maybe a little bit after the bottom of the art break, I'll give you the nod and we can plug in Steve Voss's Star Spangled Banner. One of the reasons Don could relate to the way it sounded is because of his experience on the water. and just how the, the engineering effort of Steve Voss, the effect that he generated with his work in the studio, it's just phenomenal. I mean, really, all of Steve Voss' works are great, but there's a couple that, you know, just made you think because if you have a certain background, it's like, wow, he caught the moment. And that's really what the author's looking for. That's what, you know, the musician or the artist is looking for. Can you capture the moment that someone can relate to in such a way that they don't feel that they're like, they can, it's as if they're there. That's what you want. That's what you want. That's really what you're hoping to do. Or can you relate to being there? Can you actually, you know, can you be mentally able to, you know, to fill in the blanks and, you know, experience it in, you know, in your imagination? That's really a compliment for the author when he can get that accomplished. Again, we're not quite to the bottom of our break yet. I would remind everybody we are at the end of the year billing. For everybody, we have it all posted on our webpage at www.liberty3radio.4mg.com. And when you get there, again, you can donate whatever amount you want. Whatever you donate, again, for every dollar that you donate, your name goes in the hat for the end of the month drawing. And for the final drawing, of course, so if you could, Hmm, www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, that's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com when you get there. Go to the donate key, whatever amount you donate. If you're gonna wanna get in the drawing, if you don't want to, I guess you can opt out, but I'd recommend getting in it. I mean, it's kinda cool anyway, you never know what you're gonna get. In this case, you're gonna get some really cool... homemade items with the next drawing along with some sharp pointing objects and a few other neat and useful tools. So again, www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key and make a point of checking to make sure you have a mailing address attached as part of your notes. A mailing address is what we're going to use to send a gift to you if your name is pulled in the drawing. That works out pretty well in general. And let's see if there's anything else critical. We do have some names for Edward that need to be posted. There's another batch of people that sent donations by snail mail. That's good. We don't have a problem with that. Not at all. But I got to make sure I get the names to Edward so he can fill out the number of little slips that got to go in the box for every one of the dollars that you guys donated. There's more than a few people there with some major donations. I'm trying to find it. I know this is a bizarre thing. I believe it's Coleman's dot com. I saw military accordions. Yes, military accordions. Check out the vacuum, by the way. I'm going to try and track them down. So if anybody sees them before I do, send me an email at Liberty at Provide.net. Only because I'm just curious. They were under $100 apiece. You can't find the price of this giveaway. But these are military surplus Czechoslovakian, any other war stuff there, but I'm thinking I'm gonna try one of these because a military band instrument, okay, and not only a bit of foreign military band instrument, that makes it very unique as a collector's item, but I want it first as an instrument, and then, and again, you can't buy a, or a geese, an accordion, especially since, you know, they don't make junk, okay, they make, you know, communist-like, say, industrial thought, that's what I want to check out because I just know it's gonna be Well built and maybe even well played. I'll you know, look at maybe a little tired, but I'll bet you it's still serviceable. In fact, they say it by what I recall in the reading, but I just can't remember for sure if it was Coleman's or if it was one of my wholesalers. So I'm going to track that down. If anybody else can do a little research for me real quick, and again, Czechoslovakian or Warsaw Pact surplus accordions. And no, it's not a combat tool. It's one of those fun things. We have a conversation here about instruments and music. Don, of course, had an interest there, too, although he didn't care much about it, like we said. He was both a music writer and a poet, guys. He was a warrior poet. That's one of the other reasons we're trying to find something, and we've got some music to work with. Hell, we might even get a little ad hoc band together between drums and guitars and ukuleles and whatever else you could find. You might have some pretty interesting musicians you can bring together with a little bit of Don's music and put it into in the can or something. Who knows? At least when we get everybody together we can all have some fun because Don was very creative so I seem to bring it to life a little bit. Go to ammo day and quartermaster Friday. One of the things about folks distributing in Coleman's right now Both have some interesting deals in their markdowns, but colmans.com always go to their sales and they do have something there that, well more than a few items here, but, DCU Desert Camouflage. There's a couple of things, you got a battle plus there for good price. I hope they didn't sell out of them, under $5 apiece, about $3, and they had, or have had, DCU backpack covers, which a lot of people use for wheel well covers. When we start moving into the next cycle with regard to the season, which we are already in, then the DCU, especially in the brown out slash winter condition, snow condition environment, is better than you would think, especially if you combine it with snow camouflage. If anything leaks or peeks out, it's got those lighter shades of tan and darker shade of brown, and there's like a gray tan in there. with lease or with grass cover, etc., combined with other snow cover above, depending on where you are. The three-color DCU works really well. So it's one of those items we use as a winter camo, as much as anything. But we combine it with the white. We don't just want the desert camo up there by itself. But with the white, If anything peaks or leaks out, it looks like the role of the terrain with the gray-brown grass or the London fog-colored grass that we have in front of us right now. Well, just with a little snow cover on it, which is typically what you do see. So that's a decent camouflage configuration or a decent mix-up that will work well for us. Of course, I know there's real tree, and there's real tree and grass, and there's real tree and reed. There's quite a bunch of that just last weekend. As a matter of fact, At one of the estate sales, it went well. And again, I couldn't pass it up to Bella's clothing for $3 and $1 and $5 apiece. Yeah, this is Chris in Idaho again. The yard sales and the other day and issued base layers and I've been using them up here in Idaho. It's getting pretty cold right now and some of these base layers and using them and I believe they're 100% polyester and They jumped on these base layers, you know, like I said, for a dollar brand new in the packaging. They're worth their weight in gold, but they're working great. You know, you get them and if you guys come across those, just jump on them because they're invaluable up here in the colder climates. I appreciate it. Well, again, the, like you said, the When we're dealing with the overlapping environments, like right now, we're still lush green. This is what's interesting because of the moisture. In the northern part of the state where I'm here, we've got, we've had frost, they had a frost, but it didn't kill off as much as you'd think. And the trees, it's either like the oaks, the oaks aren't even close to turning really. There's a little light green showing up in some of the barren ones. But right now, it's either dynamic, lush greens. A lot of the grasses are like this. Of course the stuff that they've planted like winter wheat is in that situation right now. But in reverse order, we've got, like I said, the London logs and the tans and the russets, which are showing up. And so this is where you get quite an extreme. And you need to have that over layer, or you have to, you know, in your base color layer. It can be reindeer, it can be, you know, just, we can remember, your reindeer, if it's camouflage, is part of your camouflage system. And even if it isn't, say, a camo color, but rather just another flat color, it's like in that sage range, or the sage brown range. That's a disruptor when you use the other legger colors underneath, and it creates a waving and pillowing effect that you need that matches up the natural environment. The advantage is, if you want to change your over cover, you can do that quite easily. And then once you've switched out, then you're into the next seasonal technology color-wise. and you roll over to blend more because the problem is I can move across an area, in fact, where I'm sitting right here, I'm outside. Where I'm sitting right here, I can go from deep green forest slash pine forest to tan brown and stick out like a sore thumb. If I'm committed just to the deep green or the dark, dark green range in colors, all of a sudden I'm crossing an area, I am in an absolute shoot my hind end scenario. So what we have to do is kind of come up with a mix which creates the illusion. Again, this is what we've talked about with coloration. Extreme light, extreme dark. Where you can see this and you would think, well this shouldn't work, but it does. The Czech airborne uniform from the Cold War. It is in colors that look like they shouldn't make any sense at all. Amazingly enough, it is a predator uniform. Even in daylight, especially in daylight, that's what's bizarre. But part of it is the extreme light-dark blotches because whichever direction you're working in, if you're going across a light tone or light shade environment, the disruptive colors are such that they're not quickly identifiable as something man-made. Because there's enough if you look out there, you don't think about it, but randomly, if you look at the different patterns that are affected in the different color groups, that extreme light-dark changes the way you perceive the overall silhouette of an object. And humans, you know, in the fight scenario in the subconscious, humans are in a high priority silhouette identifier program. So, that being the case, then you have to take into consideration how can I mess with people's minds or by the time they think they're looking at something, can I have already been out of sight, out of mind. The checks had figured this out. And their uniforms, especially under the kind of conditions that we've been operating on over the years in Michigan. Literally, when I say a predator uniform, it's like, it was like an invisibility outfit. This time of year, we get into the Swiss, the same thing happens. Now the Swiss have a bunch of red in it, and I would point out, if you've got Don Betcher's night vision video, The second video shows you in the very, very beginning, one of the guys wearing a Swiss alpine flage, you know, battle jacket uniform, you know, component. And if you pay attention to the other things that are showing up in the night vision, the Germans feel gray with a wool coat. It reflects quite nicely that gray material, but also probably the nature of the filament of the cloth, is such that it is a, hey, I'm right here. It's interesting when the guy with the Swiss Alpine Flage comes in, you'll notice that it is a disruptive light-dark and extreme light-dark splotch system. It works really well against night vision. That's what it was meant to do. So think about that. Again, go watch Don Betcher's night vision videos, number one and number two. Number two is where you start getting into the non-stop gen one, gen two, and gen three imagery so you can see how things work. And there was no enhancements. There was no CG enhancement that we didn't want that. What you see in the video is how you would see it in a real life night vision scope of whatever kind. And so there's examples before you start wearing out or using up your night vision equipment and turning it on and turning it off and turning it on and turning it off and wearing it out. How about instead you watch the video to get a better feel for and an understanding of what it is you're going to be dealing with. And the one thing that we did want to do, and I got part of it in the cam, but not the way I'd like, but the idea of the Swiss Alpine Flauge, if I take it, probably about 15 minutes or so, I would say more like an hour and a half to two hours of the total video including daylight, night vision or night operation but in conventional natural sight and then night vision imagery to a degree based on of course the work that Dom was doing before but we were trying to expand upon. Renew and break. I hear the bottom of the hour and it's Steve Voss coming up here. This is Dom. This is for Donald Betcher. Donald Betcher. Spangled Banner by Steve. And again, it is the end of the work week. A lot of you guys are heading home now or getting ready to if you're at work. Be careful on the road. The idiot crotch diddlers with the cell phone texting will get you killed. We've seen a lot of the accidents here in the last couple of years escalate. In the last year, I think we've seen more. Destruction because of cell phone operators. I don't worry about drunk drivers. I really don't I in fact I'd be pretty fine to feel pretty comfortable with a drunk driver out there, but I'll tell you cell phone operators Dudes, I've watched even on the stretch where we are like I said, we don't we the corners it used to be lethal Muscle cars come around the corner and kid didn't know how to drive them off the road wrap himself around the big maple tree at the end of the road here the corner where we live and or around any one of the trees or roll through the field and hit something else. Those days are gone. Straight away with clear road with no ice and no obstructions and dingleberries causing head-on collisions or riding into the ditch and playing Duke's a hazard. Yeehaw! There wasn't any more of that one, was there? Well, yeah, they didn't get the whole horn signal out before the car was... Again, a reminder, pay attention, back off if something was obviously cross-diddling. pay attention because you're going to see some usually weeble wobble with stupidity coming down the road before you get that blast. You'll cross over the yellow line and into your area of control, area of interest, like fender bumper or whole engine compartment or right over the engine compartment, across the front of your car. Man, you don't want that. Don't get caught in a stupid situation. We appreciate the work that everybody's doing and the help that we're getting from everybody. And so we'd like you to be around next week when the time comes to and through the weekend. So watch out for the boobies. Don't be a boobie yourself. The coach distributing again this weekend, a bunch of other sales. Always, if somebody keeps asking about AR-15 magazine, it's a catch-or-sketch cam, but you know what? Always check CDN investments because cyclically they have They are 15 mags up. Now, I can't guarantee what they're going to be and it may not be exactly what you thought you were going to get, but the price may be right. So if you catch them at the right time, another company good for weekend sales right now and also weekday savings that are on unique items is Southern Ohio Gun. And if you get on their email report, email notification, They really do send out the notice a couple of days before the actual item goes up on the regular board on their website. So you can be in there first, grabbing the stuff before anybody else does, which is a good thing. Check them out, at least give you a head up. That way you can take advantage of and move into and grab what you feel you need to. Other things, let's see, in regard with regard, well of course that kind of covers synchodamity, but more on the parts and pieces. The ammo man dot com also has had a couple of decent buys on 556 NATO and also a quantity of 545 by 39 AK-74 ammo matches. So you might want to go check them out. Remember with ammo man which C the price includes shipping so what C is what you need in the way of bottle caps to buy whatever you got to buy. Especially in the like I said the 545 by 39 there's been some decent solutions again, they're not as cheap as they were when the stuff first came in for a few pennies around. Then we'd seen in a while and not likely to come down because there's not a whole lot of the 545x39 coming in like there was. It's in odd pocket trickles which is why you're seeing so many different flavors of the ammo. The preview part is out there in 545x39 but All I can say there is, again, if you can afford to box your prime non-corrosive, you need to yield. And that's the Preview Partisan ammo. So for reloading, yes, that would be a solution. And definitely there is good ammo across the board. If you're willing to invest in it, then run with that puppy. You are definitely making a good buy. And aimsurplus.com does have most of the Preview Partisan stuff that's out there for sale. And Surplus don't know who's shooting at who right now. It's just gonna be in competition, but I do know that there are people out there. Over at the ranges, the separate system ranges for qualification, step one is familiarization qualification, and then once they're sure that the bullet's printing where it should, then they're going into the official competitions for the next batch of people over at the Ogham Aranges and over at Camp Hicham. And also, I believe, I had to double check, but don't have it right in front of me here, New Camp South, so we're supposed to have a shooting match this weekend also. I believe that's only pistol because they don't have as big a range there, but they do pistol shooting and they do have a pistol competition. You know, they have the ability to do that. It's just a matter of whether you have the coaches and the safety managers in place and you have to officially document, which is why we put cameras on the targets on the ranges. Put them, you know, zero on the target for verification of score. We'll find out. I'll know more on Monday, hopefully. And I know we have a bunch of people heading up this way over the weekend, specifically on Saturday. Everything's clean and green for that. The only thing is, we'll see how the weather holds up. We have had a little bit of rain. Yeah, but it's like, you know, we did have a little spiller rain an hour ago. And so we kind of just put things under cover. And lo and behold, then it just, now it looks just like it did. It looks like it would want to rain. It doesn't necessarily think it's going to rain. So I'm not holding my breath. We just keep chugging away. We got a lot of stuff done and what's planned for tomorrow to get certain things accomplished and you know, finished up things nailed up other stuff put away. Just to help Debbie out here, you know, Don Betcher's wife. We will be continuing with that. So we appreciate any help we can get here on the subject. and many other subjects just, you know, again, assume the worst you won't be disappointed. Bring your wet weather gear along and probably a little cold weather gear too, because say it's definitely Michigan fall out there now. That's just a fact. It's not a, maybe you're a kind of an assorta. That's where we are. We had another conversation about, again, the safety issues with what's coming up here as far as traveling with arms and such. How do I deal with that? Okay. There's no flavor choice thing like everything else. And on the one hand we have people who are hard into getting pistol permits and this and that and the other, but a lot of people have to do this, you know, why bother and who cares? The big thing is keep it, here's the first rule, out of sight, out of mind. You guys cannot see the heart does not long for, nor can it do anything about. Okay, so keep things undercover and always constantly double check to make sure even when you're traveling, if you've got weapons bags or gun cases or whatever and they're in the back of the truck, Fufu the back end up. Remember pink or you know hula colors are a great choice, but cover up stuff so that it's not really as obvious and especially the fruit loop covers colors are a good choice for camouflage. For a fruit loop soccer, you know soccer, soccer playing slash public school colors, you know pink and and fufi boy. That way, that will keep everybody's real brains thinking in one direction. The guys that are usually government employees trying to think about stealing stuff from when they look in the back of your vehicle, oh, pink and fufu colors, or at least fufu flowery colors. That's just another form of urban camouflage that works. Another thing about going to the range this weekend is, yep, bring your wet weather care along as we are looking at rain across the northern part of the state. Most of our operational camps are either at the Lansing line or north of Lansing, Michigan. So, as you give you an idea, it's also, that's kind of like our snow line. So, we haven't had snow yet. I've been putting shovel to the ground here. We had to live out some dirt from our dirt around the stairway that was made for Don's house here. And, uh, not a problem. We're still very much able to get some work done. Now, this is gonna drop down the basement and stay down there and it's gonna freeze them. But in the meantime, it can still get, like right now for some people, pretty cold out there. So, looky-hoop, you have all the rest of your cold weather gear on hand, ready to grab, you know, if you don't have but one coat, try to keep the spare in the vehicle, wear the other coat for as long as you can, and... If you're wearing coveralls or, you know, concealables or whatever, then take your winter coat off, put all of your technology on, and use those chem suits in conjunction with a cold weather gear. I would point out that most of your cold weather gear, if it's military, was designed to do just that with your cold weather clothing. Remember that. That's why all those little zippers and spots and things are done. It's especially important that if you're going to be doing the Camel combined with the NBC defense combined with the that you kind of pay attention to where all the zippers and snaps special connectors are You'd be amazed and by the way when you do check those you want to kind of check and pay attention with especially with the clothing for rollouts and such Oh, I mean by rollout. Well, there's two kinds one is a camel hood like on the Swiss alpine flage It's a camel hood that's on the our camel net that's in the hood that rolls down to cover the face and it is in a discrete version of the standard camo pattern that makes up the rest of the gear. Another kind of roll up can be a weather flap roll up. And those have snaps and sometimes zipper pockets that open and you have other layers or flaps that, you know, just when you actually move the flat flap off, exposes in a completely different part of the system and allows you to snap everything together and you end up with a capping or a camo draping system. Or it can be a hood happens, but it's it's a Usually it's rolled up another say I would say that a mined example is the m65 field jacket has the roll up crimp up hood system It's not that fancy and it's not that heavy, but it does make a big difference to be able to keep that head covered and Another thermal layer on top of whatever else you might have there So always make a point of making sure those are there in the field jackets you buy especially a surplus wherever you can if they actually are supposed to have them and then just pull it out and make sure they work, make sure everything's there. Those are useful layering items with your overall cold weather system. It's just something we're emphasizing, you know, this year especially. I mentioned the integration of NBC. A lot of your cold weather items, or you should say what can be used as cold weather items in reality are NBC mopsuits. Example, the Mark 4s, Mark 2s and 3s. In the British gear, most of the foreign kits, they actually consider the chem suit, which is of course a sandwich breather system, as a part of the wet weather and cold weather protect of those chem suits, make really great cold weather inner layer or outer layer protective garment, because you do build a peat inside them. Importantly is make sure you ventilate so you don't sweat yourself to death and freeze inside them later when you stop moving. So you still have to ventilate stuff, keep that in mind or think about it. There are a number of different tricks to the trait. But you can use a chem suit as the British military echo bends as one of your standard coal weather layers. So it's one of the things you need to be integrated. Remember, it's oversized so it'll fit over a lot of other junk that you're wearing, making it a very convenient base color camo if you're using, for instance, a ghillie net or something like that, ghillie suit. Something to think about. The chem suits are perfect for that purpose. And again, they're NBC nuclear biological chemical, but they're also considered a cold weather thermal layer. Don't forget that. Anyway, we are headed towards the top here. We got a few more minutes. Let's see if there was anything else. Of course, pomerostatearmory.com. It's Cinco de Amo Day. Time to pick up some more of the Pistolas and the rifles and the check guns and making sure you have all the ammunition for them. It is time for you to again organize our equipment drain and outfit for the crisis situation. So a 5-10 program, make sure that you have a percentage that is stuck away. What's really neat is that again, the different care systems that are popping up that are relatively cheap, you look around, especially look back to the beginning clearance inventory first. That should be your first priority, but also check your regular inventory out. A lot of the stuff is not as popular because it's just not as pretty anymore. There's a really pretty combined with, you know, that military surplus moniker. But pretty doesn't necessarily get the job done. It works in a shallow environment, but not in the deep cold that can develop here in Michigan, which we get up here in the upper part of the state. Having all of the other layers and the other technology committed if you're going to do it, make sure that you've got what you need to keep yourself both dry and warm. dry, you'll have to stay a little warmer, but you're moving around, you're getting exposed to the environment right now. If you're out in the woods doing what we're doing, we're doing about picking up patch up and junk and material for burning, and you're going to take a pale or take an object to do that. Remember, you better be mumbled up for the environment. You better make sure that you've got the cold weather gear to get out there, uncollecting material and firewood and such to stay warm, but I unfortunately irradiated my, or I should say shed so much of my calories that I don't know if I'm going to function through the night because of the hypothermia that's set in. So proper layers, proper clothing, proper technology, you could improvise, but you got to make sure you're thinking about it in advance. Map things out and plan it out in advance. Prior proper planning prevents this poor performance. Okay, what we're doing is I'm watching this guard front move around to the north, which was to the west, and acting like you would think, man, that looks like rain. The nice thing is, with the wind the way it is, yes, it probably is. Somewhere a whole county north of us. We keep going that way. I can't count on that, no guarantees. So, me and the case, again, if you are coming up, bring your wet weather gear along, just in a precautionary. And we got all kinds of food waiting for everybody up here at the of Betcher and here comes some of the rain. We're talking about just a minute ago. I'm gonna get some after all. So we're getting rain down fiddle down a little bit. For everybody again also last but not least if you can send a card or letter to Donald and Debbie Betcher. Don's passed away if you didn't hear about it and you're late to the information base. And if you'd like to send the letter, you can send it to Don and Debbie Betcher. That's B-O-T-T-C-H-E-R. Donnell and Debbie Betcher. 21890 220th Avenue. That's 21890 220th Avenue. 49338. Again, that's Paris, Michigan. 49338. More time Don and Debbie Betcher to 1 8 9 0 220th Avenue PO box 1 9 4 Who forgive me? How anything isn't it paragon 49 3 3 8? Oh, it's like me the microphone and I'm tired. It's that soliders to it. We're still recovering for recuperating guys Nobody slept really well last night. It's like kind of just unwinding from what we've been doing So again, Don and Debbie Betcher 21890 220th Avenue in 338. Send them a card, send Debbie a card. And again, you can, a condolence card, again, a greeting card. Do as a pick-me-up, whatever you feel is right. And again, she'll appreciate it. The guys here, of course, will be everybody, the guys and gals will be helping out. There's a bunch of the girls here right now, in fact, I think we got some more pulling in here in a few minutes that are going to be saying hi. And boy, it's a good thing Nancy did make a lot of food. So she made her famous, the potato salad, and of course macaroni salad. And she made pulled pork, which was cooking all last night. And yes, she's used cooking for armies when they show up. So the army is fed well. And of course, some of the other girls brought in their dishes too. Big or small, the main was all of that help, so the girls did a great job. In fact, oh man, people are, I think, having third. It's looking, I see more people on the porch. The rain is settled back again. And we are almost to the top. It is, of course, Friday. It is Cinco Damo Day and Quartermaster Friday. Farm, equip, and train as militia. The guys that Don trained up here, some of them were just now finding out what was going on because they were out and traveling, especially as fighters, the guy that he trained as professional fighters. We just had a call from somebody who said, I just found out, and of course they were like, you were so apologetic and that they couldn't do anything. That guy's, you know, he's on doing what he's supposed to be doing, and I don't think he's going to be back until Monday, but much so, again, I believe he certainly will make the funeral, or at least a remembrance slash funeral. We do have a place where Don is going to be buried. Everybody that's in the circle on that is already taking care of all of those issues. And so everything's copacetic. Everything is where it should be right now. Not that we want it Don where he is. Again, I don't think I need to say that, but if something like this happens, it's good that everybody has stepped up and everybody did their little part. So it's all come together well. We still have a ways to go. We aren't done with the long haul on this, but we've got a little ways to go for all the other events and activities that need to be in plug-in for the Fumo, but we're getting there. It'll be completed. Not a problem at all. And everybody, again, has their job. We are at the top. We should be hearing the music. As a matter of fact, the bubble machine is broke. And it is, of course, 601 headed towards 602, probably almost 602, right about now. Let's see if I'm right. It is, excuse me, it is Friday and let's see, last but not least, what else do we want to touch on here? We have a list of things to do. And, oh, do we have a caller? Last but not least, Palmetto State Armory. Yeah, they got some of the PS, the Palmetto State Armory are What is it, PSA-10s? They are the AR-10 guys. There are some package deals there. They have a kit deal. More important is they have the individual upper and lower components. I would remind everybody the AR-10s, you know, lower component is an FSL item. If it's completed, it has the receiver and everything's attached. However, they have had lowers in the PSA-10. for as little as $150 apiece. So you might want to check them out and keep an eye on what happens. It means that basically you build two rifles for the price of one AR-10 out there that typically you run into, but won't have quite all the bells and whistles some of the special boy kids have. But on the other hand, but I should say, oh, there's three bucks. On the other hand, for a basic 308 AR-10 family rifle, they work just fine. and you can dress them up and take them to town however you want. As far as optics, additional accoutrements, magpoles, making stuff that will go right on these guns in terms of the air can. And again, magazines are available from a number of different manufacturers and the prices are reasonable right now. Another one that we've talked about is taking the AR or forgive me, M14 type magazines and in addition to their normal keeper points adding the keeper points that are used for the AR, for the AR10 and that way when somebody's supposed to throw a mag, no matter what rifle you're carrying, as long as that mag has been part of the process of, you know, being put in the template and being milled out and improperly tagged, guess what? You got a mag that will work in the M14 and the PTR slow streaming that PTR the Palmetto State Armory AR-10s flawlessly. So that's a solution and it's something that can be done. So you might want to look into it and see if it floats your boat. It's worth your interest and willing to tell you if you're willing to take the time to actually develop the technology. And in fact, once you do that, you might also be able to make a sidebar business out of that. Doing it for other people who don't know how to. but have both M14s, M1As, and AR-10s in their unit. And there are a lot of people that have an overlapping batch of both. So if you have an AR-10 and an AR-14, it would be a good idea to be able to adapt at least your aftermarket mags so that they would work with both rifles. It would be a wise thing to do. Don't have to do it with your factory M14 mags or your like $40 a piece of mag. No, I don't do that. Definitely need more mags. No doubt about that. Anyway, we should be hearing the music by now. We are past the top of the hour. Unless I'm isolated enough in a world I didn't know about. And the bubble machine should be playing any time now, and one. Okay, I was gonna say. Well, the problem is that Ed may be dealing with, and again, we're not, they have not gone into repair the system problems that we have. They're pasting them together. And I think that's rather strange and unique in and of itself, but there again, the infrastructure is not being taken care of. Point out there was this little article that popped in here that, well, you know, you guys all been charged for about $400 billion worth of upgrades and fiber optic and copper wire replacement and all that stuff. And it just came out that, well, they didn't do any of it. And they could, you know, we're going to do that so we can get the infrastructure changed out. But it turns out they were taking the money and pocketing it and lying to us every step of the way. Now, that's not a surprise. That's what we told you. So because of that, now you've got Juan and Chico and the crew showing up and don't have a clue about what they're doing and chewing stuff up. Now, that's either accidental or intentional. But either way, it's incompetence. And that's where one of the other problems are here with, you know, things going the way that they are. Anyway, again, one more time. You should be hearing the music. We are, perhaps. B.C. Joe from the Carolinas and Ed the AK-47 on the air by donating to LTR's end of the year bill.

A figure walking 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 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 fruit of the grave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But 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 attacks 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 a 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 won't be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from 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 and 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, to dill the land of the free? There shall come soft rains. And so we're getting a little more real rain right now. That would hold off. Okey rain, typical fall. Listen gentlemen, this is the Intelligence Report of our currently victory for all others and in behind the lines in occupied territories southwest central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us for mg.com. We're also on indianafreedomtalkradio.com and memoriam. Again, we miss Spike. Having some unique conversations right now, playing catch-up and comparing notes. Oh, you're listening to us on, forgive me, AM&FM micros and TB base stations and Ultra. Net hallmark in Golden Spike technology is east and west of the Mississippi. Good afternoon to our friends of Lower 49. The SIV, which is the border, never to be properly secured or fixed. They like it just the way it is. The ring knockers and the internationalists who hate America are doing to us what they're doing to us. And they're going to keep getting away with it because of all this stinking internationalists in Washington, D.C. Anyway, also the flying states and territories along with the clock. You're either getting up early, staying up late, or you're right where you need to be. You probably can hear the pitter-patter in the background on the roof above. from the rain that's sitting right now. It's not really all that heavy. It's just right now it's consistent for them. But it's in squalls. And we'll probably be at this for a little bit, and then it's gonna stop, and then it'll be thinned out again, and we'll probably get some little bit of clear, broken sky tonight for the moon, and with regard to the stars. It's the 19th, and if I am not right, please hit me, because again, guys, the days have run together, and even today, we're just kinda laying back a bit, and We had to get work done, but you know, and just poking at stuff here and poking the stuff there, and you know, we had to get together with everybody, a memorial for Don. 19th of October, 10th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with the K-2018, Old Earth Calendar 2018, year of conflict, year of deception. And had the 1 o'clock on, everybody's been able to stop in, say hi. reminisce talk about uh... you know past with dot better and also uh... no pictures of photographs to be shared some stuff i had not seen before because what happens to everybody pulls all their photo albums out everyday and uh... hopefully to pay attention to social media plus uh... will be posting on different pages uh... nancy is sending some stuff down ed ed turn can put it up on the web page. You can put a few pictures up hopefully. We're also doing this on Facebook and Google and you know, we'll probably have a little YouTube video up here pretty soon. Already thought of a couple different songs that would work really well. And further on up the road, yep, I can, I get some images now. There are a few that I needed that are painted in the way. Johnny Cash describes, you know, again, the clothing, you know, the outfit. and I can get pretty close with a Don Betcher image now. So close enough that step by step I think it'll work just fine. So we're gonna put that all together and as it is again, if you go to Facebook, if you could take the time on your own as an independent effort because the more people who repeat this, the greater number of individuals get the message and every once in a while there's somebody that really, really, really is known what's been going on for a while, knows who Don Betcher is. and we'll probably then follow up and act accordingly. But there are some really good photos. There are going to be more here pretty soon because we're posting a whole bunch of really neat stuff with Don and in fact we've got a whole battery of them with him training some of his students in hand-to-hand and into close-quarter combat which is really cool. There are a number of people who would step in or sit in with the Corps to stand in with the Corps, because you do have to stand to a degree. They, in turn, of course, brought more people back later on. The Corps of his hard fighters, a lot of those guys, are into commercial ventures away from the area here. Like I said, at different points people are finding out what they need to know about what's happened with Don. Some didn't even know that he was that ill, so they were kind of caught off guard across the board, and now they're all very upset. They wish they'd known sooner, and they were apologetic and everything. It's like, hey, none of us can keep track of everything going on. That's why I've always asked you guys, we need your help to keep up on things. There's one person just can't do it all. We can do a lot, but you just can't do it all, especially when there are so many overlapping layers and keeping track of our friends and letting people know if there's a problem. Mark Schumacher, I want to say thank you. We had conversations about you a couple of times, so thank you, I appreciate you for calling, at least in the other way. It settles an issue because we weren't sure where you were or what was physically your condition. It's just the way it is. We're used to hearing a lot of our friends, they're really busy working in certain areas, and then They change directions or they've got new jobs or just new locations. Because all the things that require your attention when you're in a new site and you're working and you're also having to fix the house up or remove everything from one location and move it across the country to another, it just eats up your time. I know how it is. And you've got to rest sometime. So that's the other part of the deal. So the bottom of the hour break at 30 minutes after, Edward of course can plug us in with another bit of ear candy. It is 22 minutes after the hour right now. Another thing, again, with the images, Facebook, if you want to, if you're going, Mark, I don't have a picture of Don personally. Guys, if you go first to Google, here's what you do. Go to Google. Punch in Donald or Don B-O-E-T-T-C images. you'd be surprised at what you get there. You're gonna go, that's pretty cool, that's pretty neat. And in the process, while you're doing that, you can pick between a number of pictures of Don. And what I would ask, take one, two, or three of those and use them to make a collage of images that you can share as part of a comment for a memorial. and put it into the social media. Tweet it out there, or Facebook it out there, or Google it out there, whatever you want to do. Google or Google Plus, or whatever it is. I understand Google Plus is, you know, in the toilet. Facebook's in the toilet for a different reason, but test on them. We use them for our own purposes, and when the time comes, we're gonna leave them behind in the dust, you know how that is. So use it, and then, you know, lose it later. Either way, just, you know, if you could, take the time, play a little bit with the technology, pull an image over, drag in that image over from Google, put it in your file, and take the image or a couple of different images, put them together and you can make up a memorial, say what you like to say about, you know, hey Donald Betcher, just a little heads up. Long time broadcaster with Liberty Tree Radio and even Republic Radio International, or I. And again, whatever subject you want to touch on as part of the criteria or credentials for identifying the activities of his life because there are so many. Many of the people, for instance, who are here today know Don from one particular direction but not so much from the other. The common point, we all knew Don Betcher. That's really neat. I mean, that's how it should be. He affected a lot of people in a very positive way. Everybody said the same thing, that, you know, hey, either there, he was there for me, or you know what, he was a teacher and a lot of people just shaking their heads, still not, you know, we know what happened, but it's just, you thought it was gonna be later. It's just that simple. Again, for our guys that are listening, if you're scheduled to come up tomorrow, I know that part of that was to see Don Betcher, Come on up anyway. We do need your help. And again, do as planned because things aren't going to get any better weather-wise. It's just going to keep, I think, spiraling towards winter as it always does. And there are things that need to be accomplished up here that we just need to get done and out of the way. So if you were coming up to help physically with certain things, certain projects, that's going to happen no matter what. And if you're up here for, you know, again, moving and cleaning and picking up the area, that's going to happen no matter what too. In fact, I'm looking at another vehicle I got to probably fix the battery in. Oh, Lord! And then once I get the battery in it, we'll move that to where it needs to be and it'll make everybody happy. Plus, I'm going to get the tractor into the garage. A little tractor, right? We've got a tractor up here for Don. So we'll have to walk around and mow the lawn and... He got that and basically hasn't been able to ride them. He never got a chance to ride them. Well, he did get a chance to ride a little bit, I gotta say that, but didn't get a chance to hardly use it at all, which is okay, because it was still, the grass is here like it's been, and the same kind of maintenance is still going to be done, so I just got to get it in out of the weather, and to do that, we need to move a few more things around, and in the process of that, Tom was probably going to get some more furniture, at least in the way of dressers, up his way. And if you're going to get a little more in the way of odds and ends items, in the way of furniture and such that need to be moved, I know you're in need of. So just follow through on the plan, the way it was set up for the last couple days. The difference is we're going to be remembering Don, and there'll be more of an extension of the memorial service tomorrow like there was today because of the waves of people that are showing up. Like I just had somebody else walk by. drive-by, as a matter of fact, and then they're walking by. So again, it's going to be a long progression. I think the most amazing thing for all the modern communications, and of course they are getting this instant result, but then the problem is it's not the result they wanted because they had one person call and go, don't tell me that Don's ill, and it's like, well, it's worse than that. And it's like you could hear the person like, oh. Don't tell him he's gone. I was like, yeah, and then he was ill, but he's gone. I heard the conversation out to the side. It's like, yep. I know that's where however everybody is reacting that was just now finding out. Because of that, now they want to be here and they want to help with whatever it is, or they want to check and see how Debbie's doing. So, yeah, it's a lot of work. Anyway, we are at the bottom. and Edward, whatever the next song is that you've chosen, I've got one other one I'll request afterwards, you know, you can plug it in next 15 minutes after that or so. We are still working on the shortwave, guys, this, I'm just not where I can cover the board and go over everything because I've probably got an email. We're gonna go to break the movie now. And we came out with this one because it's all about, I had a conversation about, again, realization. And he did a really great album. This album includes a lot of the most you'd be familiar with, and again, in Steve Voss style. Again, guys, if you're looking for unique Patriot music, and if you're looking for inspirational music, go to the Steve Voss channel, Steve Voss, B-A-U-S, can't miss it. I don't know if that's Steve's channel, per se, or if it's somebody who just, again, because maybe he didn't. and it's in his name, but it does have a lot of his music posted there. And if you don't have it in your inventory, you need to. Take the time, by the way, too, as I've always said, when you got somebody there on, they're over on, free me on YouTube. I hope I didn't say, I probably, oh god, slap me in the microphone. I know I'm punchy on this one then. Again, go to YouTube, it's YouTube channel, Steve Voss. And when you get there, It's a wide range of music. I recommend if you can pull it down and copy it. Give it a thumbs up, give the music a thumbs up and share it on as many social media posts as you can. Whatever it is you're doing, you know, Google or Facebook or, you know, again, at least put it in your favorites. Make sure you put it on favorites on your YouTube channel that you might have. Typically everybody does. If you're listening and you have your own channel set up, it's not a big deal to set one up. put it in your favorites inventory because it gives more exposure to the music and then people hear it and then they go, wow, then they want to find out more. Jump in there, please. Yeah, I'd like to support that he was going to clean the internal. In the right place, at the right time, but it's a mystery how they all got there. It's amazing, the thing. It's like everything copacetic. We always talk about, you know, we kind of joke now and then nowadays about the Matrix thing because it's like, wow. all the stuff that could have gone wrong, or all the things that happened, how is it we not only have it happen, but it happens the right place, right time, we're all there, and we're meeting the right people. And it is something inside, because how big the planet is, the more you travel, the more you understand how big things are, how far away things are. So it's like, and how distant things are, especially the farther you get out west, and how, like you said, well, five minutes makes all the difference between hitting the mark or not hitting the mark. you know, being there in the right place at the right time. So, I think everybody is where they're supposed to be. That's the one comment that's like, this is terrible, or this is whatever. It's like, patient, you know. Everybody is, you know, there's like an accumulation of everybody in the right place at the right time which sets the stage. Whether or not that, you know, on the path, like I said, at a certain point there's only two options. You're a fork in the road. That's the term you always hear. It's not so much that we're going to change, and our choices are still pretty much set. But it's the other side that has to deviate or has been forced to deviate. Otherwise, we'd be up to our eyeballs right now, and the troubles that everybody always laments about, they wanted to do it two years ago. They wanted to do it four years ago. Hell, every so many, a decade, every decade, then some agenda of what? But the Patriot Movement, despite all the limitations, has been in the right place, and it's the people that are in the right place at the right time working together. And it's a myriad of events. It's not just one action. It's a myriad of activities and events that put people in connection with each other in the right place at the right time. Like I said, I think Skip is having a great conversation with Don right now. And you got, I don't think of all the friends we have. They're Spike Jimmons. Again, who we lost this year. Well, he's not lost. He's somewhere on down the road. And Don is down there and made that path and is with him now too. I picture Bob Borne, Boyer is a perstickety character but a fun guy, just a smart person with a unique personality. Lee Dozer, our good friend Lee, both Mustache Bob and Lee were Korean War Vets. A lot of experience, master machinists, master gunsmiths. In fact, Lee put so many Mausers into the hands of guys here across the state rebuilt, built from scratch. Mausers and custom rebuilt them and had gave classes, assisted in helping to give classes on the process 30-40 minutes at a time. And they in turn built Mauser after Mauser into custom long range rifles. Each one of these guys, I think like I said, they're all like mine, they all knew each other, we've all talked and spent a lot of time together. We'll all be together again. I've counted as that. We don't want to leave right now, we've got other things to do, but what does happen, we'll be in good company and we're all part of the next Legion. And those guys are still going to be in the fight, they're in the fight right now. With Don, like I said guys, his students are finding out late, only now because Some didn't know that he was ill and he was traveling and now they're finding out and some of them are a little stunned. I mean they're shocked because you know in your mind like everybody else kind of figured everybody's gonna be right where they are. You come back and everybody will be where you left them and that doesn't always happen. I had sorely missed going on this yet you know here but we're working on it. Go ahead Mike. I think he did pass away here. We lost him for a minute and we actually got him started again by accident or intent. But actually it was a feeling we were going to have to tell you guys a day earlier what was going on, or actually in the morning. He made it through the night into the next day. But then that was the time. And again, that Don was frustrated. That's one thing he knows just like you're saying this there's a lot of work to be done He wanted to do for himself It was expressed even in his his last hours or the way that he was fine and you know, they're certainly using pain There's medication that was helping to deal with that. So people get with your kind of fog but personality comes out there this the the the the foundational element of a person is still there all the time and And he was expressing himself. He was frustrated because he couldn't express himself the way he wanted to. And you know how he's more than a competent speaker, and he was trying to explain, and then he's trying to signal, or trying to get you to understand. I get a pretty good idea, but I wasn't sitting there all the time, and even then, they all say, old story charades. Well, in this case, charades were with pain and a little confusion tied in. I'm just going to miss him. Mark just gonna miss it. Go ahead color jump in there, please Yeah, George attack before really farther. Hey with more focused words again So have you been on the CBD oil? I would increase the dosage. Don't just take it You're not gonna you're you've got something you're fighting that's got to be put down. So I'd increase the dosage I'll just tell you they not gonna hurt you CBD oil doesn't have any a little side detrimental effects, but And not just pile it up, but stretch it out, but increase the dosage over the day and start throwing that into the mix. Selenium is another thing you can access easily from water oss, and there are other sources. And cesium and selenium are something you need to be working on right away, so expedite that. Selenium and cesium. I can give you the information. In fact, I've got some sitting right behind me over my shoulder, but I don't have it. I don't have the shipping information right here. Quickly as we can. And firstly, we're on the legal. We got the eight o'clock hour. I'm on the eight o'clock hour. Make sure you're there. And the Mexican pony show needs to end right from the get go. We know it's our border. I think Mike said something. Mike, jump in there. Please go ahead. Lucas ain't a for. Another patriot that definitely has put his money where his mouth is. So even though one may not have the coffee brand, the same with the border. Again, this Dog and Pony show they tried to start at the beginning here, remember, there's a rehash of it. Now, remember, they tried violence combined with this that was systematically executed by a mob that was on just the other side of the border and they weren't the Honduras. They were either paid prostitutes by the Sorrels crew or the, again, the Jewish mob that's running the Dog and Pony show down there. Or again, another faction that was still financed in the same way. The Border Patrol said this is like nothing they've ever seen before. That means they're stepping in on another unique direct, say the rank and file or you know between the rock and the hard place because they're the worst standing here with their hands to their side and not doing anything even though they're being thrown you know they got rocks, pipes, bottles being thrown at them. Direct violence against the again people of America the Border Patrol represents that that's their job. But what they don't want to tell anybody about are betrayals. That's what they don't want to talk about. Obvious reason. That more people have just showed up and walked by. I want to remind you again if you could say a prayer for Donald Betcher. If you're together with your friends, I ask that you list a glass. I don't care if it's milk.
