Well outdoors for this part of Texas, you know, I'm on the edge of the desert here and Florida and California, you know Fires used to naturally happen there all the time fires in those areas don't have to be man-made if You don't have somebody husband husbanding the parks Brush can build up and you can have just fire from the friction the heat in between nut dust sorry debris Whether it be leaves or straw straw is usually the worst guys have you ever heard of a barn fire starting that was just straw piled up that you know the Heat built up inside enough to dry out this one layer of straw and then lit fire and the whole thing went up It's kind of kind of the same thing that happens out there the and it's just like Michigan, I've looked at it. They cut their forestry service, you know, the people that would normally go out and deal with the brush and stuff like that, which they knew they needed to. It's like Grand Home, going out and firing half of the plow trucks because, you know, because due to global warming, we're not going to need as many plow trucks anymore, and then we had one of our worst winters ever, and we had people dying in their homes because they couldn't get to them, because the roads weren't plowed. You know, I have a feeling that if you were to track this back, this is a government created to create a problem more than anything else And we're at the top of the hour We've got to go because the intelligence report is coming up next and I got to get used to getting us out of here at Seven minutes three minutes from the top of the hour because that's our window to close now guys starting next week Also, I forgot to mention on the 7th of December. We are not going to be here on Friday That'll be rebroadcast rebroadcast for the intelligence report to on December 7th I've got some place to be and I will not be here to run the boards so guys Excuse me. Say good evening everybody. We have to go. Mark and Butterknife coming up next on the Intelligence Report. I've got nothing. No, nevermind sweetie. Oh, and I don't even have any bumper music ready to go. Oh, that's terrible. Okay. Well, we got it. We got going. So that's good guys. Again, coming up next is the Intelligence Report. Stay tuned. I'm just gonna play Worst Day Since Yesterday since we closed with that last hour anyway. Good night everybody. With a fact I was launched to sink myself.

Many hands make for light work so go to libertytereadio.4mg.com to help keep LTR in this fight. That's libertytereadio.4mg.com He didn't understand. A figure walked him 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, of 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 some, 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 and dead. 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 doctorate so their children won't be buried. 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? 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, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are 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 to 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? Dill the land of the I was tuned in and I was wondering why you didn't respond to me And I just realized that I didn't have the mic plugged in I am enough of a computer guy that if I'm not deliberately using the mic, it's physically unplugged. I don't trust software to disable a mic. You know, if any hostile software gets in there, I have faith that it can turn the mic on regardless of what the user interface says. So I always unplug the thing. I forgot to plug it back in. Oops, sorry about that. Okay, you just do some strange reason. You literally went into it. It is 23 November 2018. It is Friday evening. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this quartermasters corner. And we continue to have very weird weather here. We got snow while at least two-thirds of the leaves are still up in the trees. absolutely freaky. I was planning to get out there and blow them around and mow them and rake them today. I checked one of the weather sites that I have previously had considerable respect for and it said I had another four hours until rain came so I headed out the door and I got wet. I thought, wait a minute, what's the deal? I mean, off by an hour or two, but we've got radar nowadays. What's the deal? And I go back and check, and sure enough it says there's four hours left until the rain starts, but then I look at the minute cast stuff and it says six minutes until the rain stops. I wrote them a little letter about different pieces of their website talking to each other. I'm sure they're fully aware, but that's pretty weird. One part says plus four hours, and the other one says plus six minutes to stop. Oops. Well, I'll probably get another whack at it tomorrow or the next day. I'm sure open I don't leave them down all winter again. But when we transition into fall and early winter around here, it's nothing but rain. We have the monsoons at the end of the summer. It's like almost every day it's wet. The in-between days it's cloudy so nothing dries out. Very annoying. Oh well. Life in suburbia, I suppose. At least nobody's been crawling up my back over the topic. We'll count our minor blessings. Not been an awful lot of activity in Castle Butterknife recently. As you said, the Black Friday deals are out there in profusion. I also detect a little whiff of desperation. Even the ones that I routinely track, the electronic sellers and stuff like that, they seem awfully nervous and awfully anxious to move material. I mean, you know, that's their job, but somehow it seems just a little bit more desperate now than I consider to be the norm. Do you pick up that sort of smell? Yep, same thing. Seems rather testing. in the electronic world the hiccups and things that have gone on the last week here and revelations about foreign influence with Silicon Valley that are becoming more and more flagrant and in your face and oh say it's not true mark say it's not true you mean the foreigners might actually be like manipulating something oh my god and in fact Eric oh they're bragging and now yeah not just those guys you know lots of them anybody with the cash Yeah, and what's important here is that again a lot of people are stepping up. They didn't want it You know way also we slapped in paper this yeah save $4,000, but you have to spend 36 grand to do it Yeah, but you do get for the jacket pink of you and that the other I personally have managed to avoid the cell phone addiction. I only power the thing up when I want to source a call or I'm specifically expecting it. Part of that is the RF radiation close to the body. I don't care to do that to myself. But, you know, if the internet goes down, I will be displaying Parkinson's syndromes rather quickly, you know, all the limbs shaking and, you know, lack of attention span and all that kind of good stuff. Because, you know, you can imagine how I am on the internet. DK, Mark. Yeah. George from Texas. I'm looking on Wish right now. This is like a too good to be true, Mark. And look this up. Extra long distance, 1800 meter to 9900 meter in infrared. 1800 meter, 9900 infrared, distant night vision. Laser, outdoor, home travel, portable telescope. And the price is, I think, $13.00. Something that does better than third generation night vision, right? That's what I say. Yeah, you can believe that if you like. If you want to get one and publish a review on this hour, I'm perfectly happy to afford you the time to do it. But I would encourage you not to get your hopes too high. That's an old trick in industry anywhere, but it's unusually effective against the US because we have a an infection known as OSHA and EPA, which pretty much guarantees that once you shut down any kind of manufacturing facility, you cannot start it back up again. Yeah, if it hasn't already been there, it's dead. That's one of the reasons everybody goes, oh, there's going to be a resuscitation of the ticket to the oil boy. I bought one of them. Russian is one of the... you know... where they... you have some goodbyes. It's no different from any other places you're buying from. Yeah, purple. You've ordered one, right? The one thing about Russia, they are... you know, they have arc-decree, so... One thing that's interesting is the warm... the other thing is the Cold War. Thing can be run as badly as it was under the Soviets. There's nothing wrong genetically with all the people in Eastern Europe. They were just, they were just ridden by, by, you know, an infection of stupid and vicious. Three generations. They're recovering from it. Yeah, but she makes great Porsche. Yeah, but wash that helmet out because it's used for a lot of things. Right. Yeah. Make sure it's not the torque M1. How do you people are so paranoid? Yeah, that's the good stuff. At home, a lot of resale shops, steel or iron, your transfer heat is an issue, but in this case, I'm in a scout camp out many, many years ago with my dad along and he had his old 1940s mess kits made out of stamped steel and I had my 1970s mess kit made out of stamped aluminum. and we were sitting around frying up each of us got half a can of spam and we were sitting around with that stuff over the fire and he cooked his and ate it before mine even began to sizzle so I just grabbed his fry pan and threw mine into his stainless steel yeah those are stainless steel that's another thing remember we had all kinds of tools most other countries just put his was not stainless it was it was regular old mild steel you have to grease it up but it actually conducted the heat whereas the aluminum did a wonderful job of reflecting it back into the coals and not transferring it to the spam. Now come on guys, why are you making it out of aluminum if it doesn't freaking work? Mark, you have a steel pot, Zach Kevlar. No, that is a ballistic. It's actually pre-Kevlar, but it's one thing when we built the possible, you know, small, very great dave in terms of helmets, our huts are not head-up. The idea was that it would stop small fragments, things that would cause nuisance injuries or possibly even lethal injuries through the forehead or something like that. Spent rifle rounds and pistol rounds that weren't too close. Most of the injuries are not somebody whistling something through your brain pan at 2,000 feet per second. You know, and the usual bumps and thumps type stuff as well. Think of the old World War II helmets as a steel outer shell and super masonite inner shell. Okay, and you'll have the idea. Now the idea behind this, well eventually the later, they wore the ceramic panels and then they had the ballistic which once it was hit, it wasn't good for another better that than a you know straight on through against you and then you're being able to Putting the lights out is a whole lot better than putting you out. Yeah, the uh, the uh, the uh, Bill if you look at, or slash an autopsy, forgive me, of the D6 or Type 5 or Type 5, just many many many many many many layers Kevlar, there was this for where they went with Kevlar because originally like you see with the M1 helmet liner, if you'll know the difference, because that's cut out of Kevlar. The little plates are made of, I think it's boron nitride, which is basically a ceramic. but it's very, very hard, strong stuff. And it's still against dry air, it's actually a laminate because it's an interweave. I'm not aware of a fibrous component to the boron nitride, but it's horribly difficult to work because it's formed under pressure, so you have to form folds for the curved part, so it's a real pain in the neck to fabricate, but it's very hard stuff. There's only so many companies that have the units there. They're about five stories tall. We've got one here in Brighton, Michigan, and they do everything from body armor to inserts and metal or metal in the same ooze that will take a long time. She is doing this work is 50, 60, and 70 years old. There have been a lot of heat by the way. Long the long run, they've done different options with the body armor and the M1 helmet is the beginning of the company's give me the helmet thing. Guys, I've got all the manuals. Yeah, the helmet was a big deal. The M1 helmet was a and there was a whole sign and then a re-engineering process even to its development. That's the only problem is how many people are actually about, for instance, properly fitting and adjusting the helmet. Who of any were ever given any instruction on that while you were in the military? Different types of helmet liners below the base. Your weeble wouldn't walk. Every war you can watch a dozen different documentaries and you'll see guys trying to run like hell with it like hell. That was the standard way you're supposed to run. Hand on rifle and hand on helmet. center point going into weebles wobble different yet again works really well by the way airborne guys are really concerned with high velocity slams against our objects you know they're really concerned with that because there's a lot of that even just getting out of the airplane you may get a pump on the noggin you know and you know that's the sort of thing that's a random event on the ground it's almost predictable when you're jumping out of airplanes well the thing here was again the ID2 steeple so that you didn't have to talking knows all about the one he has. And there the one he had was three different systems. No, he thinks that's bog standard. And then they've got another back. Well, you know, spun approaching and say, okay, put this empty shell on your head. Okay, fine. Now hold still while I squirt this expanding foam in around your ears. And then they got some support system, right? Well, that's almost something that they were actually talking about. Remember, we always do that stuff here in a popular at one point in time, glue some ping pong balls around, various strategic points on your head, drop the helmet on, and squirt the foam. I'm learning my marvelous idea. I'm going to become petulant now. Well, you could do it. It would still work. I mean, in fact, look at this way. Some guy just got a big venting what they did. reminds me of the MG what is it 240 or 242 or something like that you know can't find a reason why it's better than the Browning what 60 yeah that's the browning yeah that's a mag 50 that's the mag 58 that's what it is it's a crappy Chinese steel to well the Chinese everybody made a copy of it think about that including the Israelis and you know they do girl that's pretty much the only steel we have to work with nowadays anyway so you know that's so they idea That's why the part of the battle hits. That's a new and novel concept as of about the 13th century. Yeah, right. All this armor was based on ancient or medieval war. In fact, it had more head full protection and it was likely we're going to get through. Between that, you don't hear Star Wars gets the idea for the battle. It's one thing if you're going for the one arm using the heaviest battle right. You're going to see battles that are drip, drip, drip, drip, drip on one side and pop, pop on the other side. Those guys get far more rounds of ammunition in their pack because they can carry more. But the range is not there and they're not going to be taking 800-yard shots. Of course, I'm not going to be taking 800-yard shots anyway. Well, this is the other reason why there's no discussion because the way they've always tried to do it, they've tried to get everybody equal on both sides. Well, what if all of a sudden, like I said, it's American War for Independence? This is where it or one of five other rifles that were still... Kentucky long rifle comes in. Yeah. And then that rifle, that ri- One of them were Continental Regulars. They were all militia units, independently, I- Quiz was cute. They weren't just Washingtons, it's just that Washington kept wanting them. He allocated these rifle units, special warfare units that went out to Sothereere because they- Enemy formations that turn, march, stick together and so on, you can probably move them around into a KZ with long range fire. Said before about that this is where we take and apply the idea in- modern warfare don't forget handled long-range for you with each army they could still mix and match there's no rule that says if I carry m14 so they can't have a Karl why my impact even sound just like 200 yards per range and we do better with that with them Well, you know, you can also get a little smarter. You can engage at 300 yards or 400 yards or whatnot, where it's kind of hard for anybody to hit you, even if the ammunition weren't running out of gas at that point. And when they start to close, you fall back, and the next rank of your guy's 100 yards back then engages them while you're skedaddling. You know, you can think from like that. Our whole village of your weapons. Right, here's another thing. This is something I think is bizarre, but there it tells me about a bit of... Consider... uh... muffling the heck out of it uh... little four wheel a tv and calling it your ammo carrier exactly what actually one of the things i wrote into uh... battle for the republic is how to apply rifle and heavy weapons situation where it was all the first act it's like well no doubt about besides your dangerous as all hell if you can figure out what is coming from well that's the whole point is based on the you know when they fire and the people are bringing stuff i think are mostly trolls and moles that are in the system not somebody you want your unit any way. If an attitude like that while the bullets are not flying, uh-uh, that guy's going to steal that fire.
