For future generations, this legacy we gave in this the land of freedoms we secured for you. We've earned slavery endlessly. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free. 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 should be taught according to the story. 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 shit. 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. Barash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. Your daughters so their children and 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 of being a slave? Both 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. Pray to god to get the torch of freedom as Iowochee vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer? And good. This is interesting. I've got what sounds like a propeller noise. I'm wondering if that's what I think it is. Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east Northeast and Central ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on Liberty tree radio dot 4 mg comm Indiana freedom talk radio calm and we are on a man FM micro station CB base stations and UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Yes, and Indian Freedom Talk radio in memoriam. Let's not forget that. We miss Spike Timmons. Today's date, real quick here, it is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 28th of... August, it is the 11th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K-2019 Old Earth Calendar 2019, year of conflict, year of betrayal. Before we go any farther, do we have Edward there? Let's have Edward come up for a minute. And Edward's probably off to the side there. Should be able to come up on the speaker, on the microphone. And a one and a two. You've gotta give my phantom power time to power up there. There we go. A little longer than that. What's up? I'm curious. I'm hearing, oh but it's disappearing. Now that your mic is up. I don't know where that's coming from. It sounds like a little pitter pitter like a fan. To be honest, there's too much background noise in my area right now for me to pick it out. But I'm not hearing it. Clearly no no no that you're now that you're up. No interest interestingly enough It seems it might be a power fluctuation. They've been messing around with stuff out in the alley again dad I'm trying to make sure I get the archives and everything set up right right now I've actually got some of the stuff loaded It is gonna. Let us just copy and paste links, and that's what I've been doing this afternoon. Sorry good so for everybody out there. That's one. Yeah, we had a We did a test copy and paste into the discord so I could even post them there if we wanted to but I've already expanded on your mind is your primary weapon for Mike The only thing is I can't split the file up if it was a continuous recording But I can tell it to start at specific times So that's what I've been doing. But if you download the file you get everything that's with it And it is it is at the high definition. It's at the 64 K. So And they said be working good. I'm gonna get back to it dad I'm trying to get a bunch of it up if I can tonight and again for everybody out there also we have changed up to Ed real quick we have changed up the Conference, but we didn't do that, but we are seeing I think a little better clarity from their end and obviously filtering through whatever they've got for synthesizers But the sound is better even our contact me you and me in this conference is really good. So just from my direction, what I'm hearing, much clearer across the board. I'm noticing that they've got the mixed-minded, but very well-adjusted. In general, when you people come up as a guest right now, see, we don't have control over all of that. Your radio, your phone, your radio telephone that you're using, and a lot of you are using cell phones now, you're not using ground light. If you're using ground light, it would be much cleaner. But because you're using variations in radio transceivers from the beginning, then you have different sound quality or sound performance going through to a main hub. Well, the hub can sort it out. And it sounds to me like with whatever software and hardware they've committed to with their changeup, they are doing a better mix balance on the fly. Which is a selling feature when you're doing conference and group transmission like this because it keeps you the feeling you're in the same room, not like one person's on a tin can and the other person's on the end of the telephone over at Pettico Junction and another person's got a really fine quality piece of equipment that just blares away. Instead, all of your customer coming in, customer service coming in and out, pretty consistent so we got to compliment them on that probably because they need a better spyware where we're probably going and most everything is already sold out years ago everybody goes we're selling out to the blublublub guys they sold out years ago my god there's only a handful of people are really honest the rest out there lying to you every step of the way and they already have back doors front doors side doors and screens hell even put extensions and extra rooms on yours you don't even know how many additions there are in the house And whether or not there are wings with all the spy garbage and all the parasites that do nothing but sit on their dead ass and basically, you know, live vicariously through listening to you guys. Everybody and everything we're doing, okay? Congratulations, they have no life. Hell, with the time they're done, they blow their brains out or they have, you know, high blood pressure and it's worse than being a couch potato jet jock with a drone pilot crew, you know what I mean? It's like these people are worthless. Yeah, I know but now what the hell we had to employ in some way, you know They gave them a they gave a paper some paper hang on the wall from whatever college and then from that point forward What are they doing? All they're doing is spying on people. It's just listening in you You know, we could have bought an operator for a lot less money and she'd have just as good a security clearance Just a regular operator give them a special title and call them a spy Take your pick whatever the latest title for is right now for the for the again the a site. No life. Never will have one either. Think about that. We'll never have a life. They're stuck off over in the corner there. Anyway, meanwhile, we're enjoying ourselves. Beautiful, sunny, I got the date in there already, so we're clear on that. It is the 28th. It is Weapons Wednesday. A couple things. Going through one or two items cargo bag-wise. You don't have enough bags for it. Whatever you're doing. There's a reason cargo bags are something you put bags inside bags inside bags and For instance gym bags. We got somebody tossing out Decent cargo gym bags. We don't care what the monikers on the outside piss. I know I didn't buy them brand new I'm not supporting Nike. I don't care about Nike In fact, you can doctor it up So it looks like something else other than Nike with a marker if you want to have some fun Look, I'll be here look like a couple of hockey sticks and two ball cane, you know, that kind of stick kind of garbage. There we go But anyway, the idea is that if we are going to be scavenging especially, you've got to have ways to move the junk. Cargo systems need to be not just simply able to receive stuff, but you've got to be able to take the most advantage of what you have in the way of transporters. Now I've pointed this out when I did the Battle for the Republic series, I'll ruin one little scene, the strip, the processing operations. stripping the enemy dead and recovering Allied material and equipment from our own people. The units themselves know who's who in the zoo. So typically a casualty, any equipment that they have, my policy would be in the field. I mean, I can't think of the other personal belongings. If you're fighting a battle and I fall, you better strip me everything I got. My God, you need it. In fact, if I could, I'd be piling it up for you beforehand so it'd be easier for you to get to. if I had any life left in me. Want to know why? Because we're fighting a conflict. I hate the bastards on the other side. I should be doing everything I can for my friends that are going to carry on. Okay? But when it comes to stripping the enemy dead, there's two issues here. Number one, well actually, there are three that overlap. But there are two critical ones. Number one is, again, time and resource. What do you have in the way of material collecting? How are you going to route it? Okay? But let's remember first, the first branch in the road is, are these fresh enemy dead or are these stale aggressors that you've come across which could easily be booby trapped, especially if an enemy has time. Time is the factor. Did you overrun the position and just take out the aggressor and you physically were observing while you were pushing them or pressing them out? There's very little time to do much of anything to correct mistakes made as in, oops, they should have been better prepared or whatever, or even if they were prepared for demolition or destruction, you don't give them the time. This is why you press an offensive operation. But let's say that you sweep over a position. Now you've got fresh kills. Your enemy is nothing more than a mobile resupply pod. I don't care who they are, all they are is just they carried a bunch of good stuff to where you need it. Now you're going to make sure you get it all. First of all, don't just waddle up and start moving stuff. Mr. Banette is your friend. Everybody goes, what do you need a bandit for? Because it's nice to poke someone in the butt cheeks to make sure that they're not faking on you and maybe have either a pistol in hand or a grenade. Maybe they want to play kamikaze. You know, bonsai, boom! Okay? Both living and also dead who might still have ordnance in hand first and foremost is somebody just because they were ready to throw the grenade doesn't mean they got a chance to throw the grenade. Okay? Now if you can recover examples somebody's got it you remember I used to say from my cold dead hands well if they got a good death grip on it let me point something out you don't want to pull it and just make the thing go off. Keep a basic rule is keep about three or four grenade pins on your gear where they can be quickly accessed. Someplace, you know, utility, short pocket, or you know, she'll have them paper taped up to your gear. Why? Well, if the guy's got, you know, death grip clutch on that grenade, or maybe it's a Willie Peay grenade, that would really be great. You don't want to lose those if you can save them. You either run a safety pin through there, you run an actual grenade pin through there. I'll tell you what, finish nails are really great for this. They've got just enough of a head. You've got to get about the mid-size, what are those, eights or cans. Anyway, I'd have to double check the size that works best, but the idea is you push the nail through and you can put a nail with a full head on it too. But you want to be able to bend it, so you want it to have enough of a cap that it can't just slide through, obviously. That would be a boo-boo for you, wouldn't it? But you want to just bend it to make it safe so that spoon can't fall off and the striker cannot activate the fuse. Once the fuse is as the lead is going, nothing's going to stop that grenade from going off. Now you better find a place for it to go, or you better be moving away from it and you can't move fast enough. So probably throw the bugger's body and his body armor on it. That'll absorb a lot of the junk. Roll him right over on his own grenade if that's the case. Quick, you know, again, do something, but don't just stand there. Anyway, recovering ordnance and being careful to ensure that weapons are secured immediately in the sweep. Now, you may not want to chuck them and drag them off to the side. There's a reason for this, and it will be explained in the Strip the Enemy Dead. process. What you want to do first of all is secure the weapon off to the side. You know, observe the our hands. Again, confirm that the body or the individual, the target, isn't going to be moving a whole lot on you. Might want to stick him with a bayonet around the rib cage area, just below the ribs, up on an angle. Take your pick. Back of the head with the right base of the skull. Shove that bayonet in there. Okay. Don't blow a bullet, pull the trigger. You need the ammunition. That's why bayonets are so economical. Okay, they are already paid for and you can use them again and again and again and again. You see how that works? So now we've secured and swept the area very quickly for any ordnance. We also want to be careful of any unexploded ordnance we might have thrown that might not have gone off. Just because you throw Mr. Grenade doesn't mean that spoon leaves the grenade all the time. It's intentional that the spoon, although it is a piece of stamped steel, okay, It is somewhat malleable, especially the flanking sides that have been around and of course that the pin goes through. Those can get stiff. You can tap them, you run it around, you run into a piece of rock, a building something that's got some square surface. You can compress that spoon a little bit without even realizing it because you're flopping stuff around depending on how it's hooked up on your gear. The old TA-56 and the TA-90 gear, the grenades are hooked up on the outside. Well, they slosh around, so to speak. They do. They flop. Even though you tighten everything up, they move a little. When you go smack it around a corner, you could hit a piece of metal, you could hit a brick. corner on a wall, any number of things. Held the corner on the APC on the way out. You were going out the back end of an APC, steel door, all the way around, and you chunked something. So you pulled the pin and you're all excited and you throw that grenade in and, well, you really didn't notice what went off. You were too busy with other things like back to using the rifle. So the other thing is being careful about unexploded ordnance and ensuring that any of that, if at all possible, is recovered also. That's another thing that can be done. But here again, precautionary. I would point out, observe and watch for body armor that's flopping around because if you're going to do deactivation of ordnance or if you're going to be securing ordnance, it doesn't hurt to have that body armor over top everything. After all, it is a frag vest. Even if you couldn't be able, you'll say, what good is that? It's only a frag vest. Well, it's designed to do neat things like slow down fragmentation and hopefully stop it. It may not stop a bullet. But what's cool is it makes for great dampening or blankets to secure something in the event you decide you want to proceed with detonating a small piece of ordnance. And my God, we're talking artillery rounds, you don't do that. You want to save those whenever you can. They're useful ordnance for future problems that you want to deal with. But anyway, now stripping the enemy dead. If you don't have ponchos on the enemy or rain gear on the enemy, A part of the team should have, and with the support vehicles or your third or fourth echelon, depending on if your mission that day is stripping the dead, your third or fourth echelon should come in with a couple of boxes or with dispersed 50-gallon industrial black or gray or green garbage sacks. What you're going to do is flop the enemy over, you undress him, but you undress him quick. This means undoing when you've got him, you flop him on his back after you've confirmed ordnance material is secured, what you do is you can either cut or you can unbutton and unzip. But the idea is that you flop him over on their back, the head and head gear, anything else like that gets rolled off to the side right there and set to the right, which is where the bag is, it's going to be receiving all the gear. Now immediately some people are going, oh Mark, we shot these people. Oh, they got hit with fragmentation. Oh yeah, there's going to be gore and all kinds of nasty stuff. Congratulations, might want to put some plastic gloves on. That wouldn't be a bad idea. Chem gloves are great and there's even inspection gloves or all kinds of things you can use. Car maintenance gloves. Take your pick. But the bottom line is that you're going to first... Disconnect all of the front system and then as you're rolling the target over pull one arm out with the upper air upper assembly get the arm out Continue to roll peel back to the right kind of like dressing a deer in the field Okay, where you're actually even going to scalp in the field you're going to take the skin off in this case you roll off the you're rolling off the vest you're rolling off tactical gear you're going to roll off the clothing at the same time oh by the way you want to make sure that you unbutton the sleeves if they're sleeves And you're going to pull off. And you want to do this sooner because rig and mortise, when it's set in, a lot harder to crack bones and things and make stuff move. But you can do it. Then you might as well start cutting. Might as well start cutting the cloth off. Which, it's a matter of do you need more gear? Do you need more uniforms? You actually should try to recover everything. Now, once you've peeled that off, drop that to the right. The upper assembly, drop that to the right. Pants are ready. You are ready to be taken off and you're looking at boots. Now the boots, guys, like I said, how fast, how quick you're trying to do it. Are you in competition? See who can do it quicker. Now you can take a knife and cut the front laces right there on the spot and just pop the boots off and throw them in the pile off to the right, along with the helmet and the radio gear that might have been on the helmet, along with the night vision that might be right there hooked to the helmet, along with the assault and upper gear. Then you take the boots, drop them over that way. If you undo them, which is cool, remember the body's not going to resist a whole lot. If you unlace it, loosen them up, or maybe there's zip-sides or whatever, take advantage of that. Take the boots off, take the socks, put them inside the boots like you would normally do. Pull the pants off, roll them up, okay, pull down, roll up, and remember, they ain't going to be pretty. Okay, just that simple. You can use a smaller garbage bag, although again, you just put everything in one bag, you just got to be careful how you roll things up. Uh, rip the shirt out of the, pull the shirt out of the, uh, assault gear and upper assembly, which might have the field coat, and then you've got your blouse, whatever, before that. Um, put the pants inside that, roll all of the clothing up together. It's all going to need to be washed anyway. It's going to be stinking. Okay. One way or another, hell, you don't know how long the guy's been in the field. You don't know how long the guy's been in the field. You don't know how long the guy's pissed his pants, defecated his drawers. Stinks from two days worth of running in the field like you did, but he's on the other side So you don't care about him now one last thing you might have to still pull off all of the Under sweat wear under you know anti-stick wear the anti flame clothing you want it It's really expensive and it's valuable So the last thing you do is pull that over the head and the arms. Now remember, here's the thing. If a limb is busted off or blown off or something like that, cut the material. This is why you want to keep those knives at least one good knife sharp or have emergency slice surgical scissors. You know those big, you know, girthy ones that are, you know, cheapy stamped but they're made of stainless. You chop off, cut off, or tear off whatever it is. Tearing that probably can happen. Some of this stuff is pretty durable. Gee, they do make some clothing fairly well. You paid for it with your tax dollars. You're taking it back. uh... cut off any of that so if you're getting back to recovery not going to use it you might some people are going to be wanting everything gun-cleaning rags are still expensive my special when there's less and with the clothing out there anything and everything will be used short of the stuff that's really gacked really shredded really torn everything else is going to have a use you will be you again that's the mission of the recycling units that are going to be receiving the stuff that you're backing up okay we got the clothing there we got the gear there Now, depending on the situation, there is one step here. If you are in the field and you are still in preparation for further contact and you are munitions low, while on the one hand the weapons, the ammunition, everything should go in the bags, everything should be locked up, so to speak, in the bag so it's all together, there's a reason for this and it has to do with one of the later steps. In the process though, if you need mags, ammunition, maybe you're carrying a sig, maybe this piece of trash that you just killed that you guys, your buddies wiped out, is carrying a sig, maybe you've got a bunch of Glock mags. You have a right to that, you've risked your life, whatever you got there, it's yours. You don't even see equipment that's yours, but it's useful to you. That's yours if you choose to take it. But, remember, there may be intelligence, and this is where one of the later phases is so critical. Combat implements like magazines, ammunition, things of that nature, perishables, those need to go with you. Anything else, personal paperwork, administrative, phones, small laptops, technical communication. One of the other things that they do is you carry a couple rolls of foil. That's part of your trash. Electronics are wrapped in tin foil. If you can pull the batteries, although you've got to be careful there, this is where you're going to have instructions from team and intelligence. If you have radio equipment or if you have any kind of data material on board, you don't necessarily want to deprive the thing of power. It's only got so much storage time and then it's dead and it's gone. It may not be able to recover everything because if you're lucky, they've already been using the equipment just before they were killed and passwords are active, everything is still functional. So your team leader is going to have to, depending on what you find, you call for assistance or if there's an SOP, follow the SOP for handling the electronics. But you still want the electronics to a degree staying with the equipment. Why? Well, remember those codes you were talking about? Somewhere on that clothing or somewhere in a pocket or somewhere in the Web Gear might be codes and technical data or operational information for opening up password systems the whole nine yards. People have a tendency to write them down, okay, despite what everybody says and despite operational security and how hard they try. Typically because there is a preponderance, a flood of different databases, writing down certain passes and codes. It's just logical that if you're not dead, you're going to take the piece of paper, stick it in your mouth, chew on it, and swallow it and make it disappear. Maybe they already did that but on the other hand you may have zapped him at the right point in time and all the information you need to access an entire cornucopia of material is right there. But now we bagged, we got it all pretty well sorted. Now you got a few, you took the Glock mags because you got a Glock. You took the AR mags because you burned out most of yours during the assault on the position and you're expecting a counter-attack. Sometime eventually the enemy is going to get pissed, something's coming back at you. So you don't throw out your mags, but you do accumulate additional mags and replace all of your inactive or empty mags. Well, you know, if they're empty, they're inactive. Load up as quick as you can and square your combat load away. Take everything, put it into the garbage bag, zip the bag, take either a, you use medical tape, you can use a white marker tag, whatever you want to that goes just around the bag that's been then tied off, and date time place. Now you may have a code for that, whatever your SOP is, it could be for instance number 16. Number 16 is date of contact for today. We were in contact with this enemy from 1 o'clock in the afternoon, 28th of August 2019. And for three hours we were in contact. These are casualty bags from that particular event. And now we're going to load them up into the truck, take up a minimal amount of space, or you know, three-quarter ton, five-quarter tons coming forward, four-wheelers are coming forward with trailers, I don't care what it is. But whatever your standard is, you pile up and move as quickly as possible from the area of contact all of this material. As soon as you start bagging and tagging another group, your transport group, they're sitting there with a thumb up there ours. The driver should never leave from behind the wheel, but everybody else and anybody else who may be a team assistant or a loader, their job is to throw the junk on, fill the truck up as quick as they can to the transport, and leave. Leave. Immediately. Don't wait for anybody else. Leave. The idea is, as we pointed out, that if you didn't have an immediate action between the first 30 seconds and 30 minutes, which would have been the expected counter-attack, let's assume the worst and we won't be disappointed. Something bigger is coming down the road or something's coming in from above and every minute counts. So it takes longer for me to describe this. You should be rolling a body and moving it and stripping it in about between, I would say, a minute and three minutes. You're going to get really good at this. And again, we will rotate personnel who will have this assignment. On the other hand, if you're in the field and you're in an independent unit, you'll be doing this nonstop because we're not going to be seeing airdrops to you for supply. You're going to be stripping the enemy dead for their magazines and for their material and for their food and for their medical support. And you want to keep adding to the inventory. Whatever you can't carry, once you combat load everything up to your maximum capacity, You drag the rest away and you cash it wherever you can. The team knows where it is, but you cash it in such a way. Take it out of the area and as quickly as you can, a three-man cash team. One person's job is to prey a scout, prep it. The other group comes in. Everybody drops the material that they've carried along into the cash. The cash is secured. Everything is unblemmed, so it looks normal. You carry on with the objective. If you're a 100-killer unit, whatever you are. The fact of the matter is though, constant recovery material, vehicle recovery has its own standard operating procedure by itself. Again, this depends upon unconventional, paraconventional, or conventional operations. But from the beginning, you must act as if you are already short supplies, which everybody will be very quickly, and you remember those, they always see this at the ends of campaigns. You're down to your last bullet. You, one bullet, one German, make every round count. How about we start that from the beginning? Instead of... How many were there, two? What did we just do? I think we spent half our combat load. Did we hit him? Well, I think we shot the one guy four times, and Bob killed the two cows over there. There's a goat dead a little closer, I see, sir. And I think we hit the bad guy about four times. Five, I think five times solid. Right! How about instead, again, please my pasty friends, let's start from the get-go, from the beginning with the attitude we're harvesting the enemy and we are going to do it in a conservative fashion. We are going to conserve resources for the long haul. Now, wherever we do have to burn it, we burn it with a purpose. Okay, but this is something especially, on Weapons Wednesday everybody talks about, you know, I would say buy more ammo, buy more food. Both are weapons government will starve you to death or they will try to murder you with a gun So you need a gun to make sure you can murder their hind end right back because they deserve it Just that simple the foreigners that are right here on American soil right now They're laughing about because they think they've got them concealed. They don't we know what's going on The orders that they're following that are not from America but from the United Nations and from foreign bankers and from foreigners in other countries We know what they're doing They're already your enemy. Ain't nothing they're gonna do to fix it. They've already in fact blurted out several times in last year whenever we talked about the border. The UN edicts. Why, the Department of Defense, they don't have to do that. Because the UN tells them what to do. Their words. Okay? Because they got those special UN treaties and they're not gonna... That's more important in America. So I think you see the writing on the wall there. Again. with regard to the stripping units. Again, then there's a processing units to the rear. Most important is, again, team leaders, or if you have, for instance, your first, second, and third squads in a platoon will be your tactical motion units and say a hunter stripping operation. The fourth squad's mission is to be the collectors. They're going to start. Now everybody else is going to be securing operations the way they normally would in a situation where you had to take an objective, you sweep the objective, you ensure that there are no survivors, you make sure that you identify where all of the casualties are. If you can start identifying the unit strength and in fact remember between laptops, duty rosters, clipboards, you can find out and count how many bodies you should have. Remember that your enemy is an annual retentive control freak with paperwork and administrative information all over the place. Occupation forces and police states are like that. So you're not going to have to worry about guessing if you have 46 bodies, but you should have 48, 49, or 50. You've either got a holdout, which is dangerous, which is why you better be paying attention, or you got, you know, four that's skedaddle perhaps, or one that's maybe wounded you haven't found yet. He's laying somewhere. Maybe he's dead up on top of a fuel tank or a row, a building or something. Who knows? But you got three or four that skedaddle that are either going to try to be, you know, leave behinds, or they're unarsing the AO and they're going to try to find help. Mr. Dillon! Mr. Dillon! Engines! Engines, Mr. Dillon! And of course then they're going to be bringing their buddies back. Now, again, counterattacks typically 30 seconds to 30 minutes, but beyond 30 minutes, then you can expect a more sophisticated force-strength operation against you. Now, since you're a fighting unit, this is not going to shock you or awe you or anything like that, but it means that you had better be prepared to take the weapons that are available to you and at your disposal to utilize them against what might be a heavier, stronger, faster threat, or at the very least you're going to withdraw with them so that you can create holding or deflection actions while you disperse and break contact with the enemy force. And again, if it was a raid for material support, your time on the ground is determined by your quality of personnel who stripped the enemy dead and munitions and materials on site. Again, the moment that material is acquired and a vehicle is loaded, we do not wait to convoy. Each vehicle immediately unasses the AO, and any other vehicle that can replace it as quickly as possible and move into the area of contact will do so. We also don't cluster screw our equipment. While we're just waiting for a target of opportunity, everybody would be flapping their yap on that. Well, you don't do that. First of all, you tactically disperse your material support personnel as they move into the area of contact. The coordinating officer and the coordinating NCOs, whoever they are, their mission is to make sure that they bring and route in only what's necessary and what is useful within the area of activity until again it is complete. No, loading is complete. That vehicle is flagged out. Other vehicles are ordered to come in. And in the process, again, you're routing your personnel and re-dispersing everything that you have tactically dispersed constantly. Right from the get-go. This is tough and it means that you actually have to act like an adult You're going to act actually have to work with discipline in mind and everybody is going to have to understand their job So it's the matter of these team leaders all these people want to be common Dante's zero They want to be number one. I want to be the big boss Well, what have you done to set up and establish operating procedures for your unit SOP standard operating procedures and how have you drilled in them? Some of them have are very dull. They have nothing to do with going to the gun range today They have nothing to do with the gun range. They have everything to do with, again, the straw boss, the manager, whoever is the designated manager. And here's another thing about that. One major smidlap, or Fred smidlap, more like ya. Well, congratulations, Fred. It's great to be visiting you, but by the way, and I appreciate your stopping by here to help. But that's the guy in charge, so you shut up and you listen to him while you're in this area of operation. Well, he's only a sergeant or a lieutenant. Yes, he's the straw boss for the moment because he has a specialty and his mission is to keep us all alive. And his brain is cued to the environment. He is a manager. For this moment, that's his job. So Bob, Schmidlap, whatever, whoever's there, whatever you think your rank is, Grand Poobah, Fleet Admiral, whatever, at this moment in time, that person is who we're all listening to. Now, we still have our own tasks, and the infrastructure of command and operations still stay the same. But with regard to any decision-making, we do not override, nor do we alter, nor do we try to color. the activity of the man who's focusing on the task of the mission that we are assigned. Another thing, this is also true with regard to combat contact, I'm going to point that out again. Whoever makes first contact, especially in a shooting environment, has a working knowledge of the development of the battlefield. Whoever that junior, senior, middle officer, NCO, whoever it is that happens to be there who has made contact, has been able to form and keep a unit together, Shut up and listen to what he has to say or pay attention. You're reinforcing a unit. You are not taking command of a situation. You are reinforcing a fighting unit in the field that has already made contact, has already generated enemy casualties, and is successfully engaging in either freezing or neutralizing or engaging and exploiting a situation. The team commander on the ground, the unit commander on the ground. There's an old joke. How many of you might remember this? There was a picture. It was a poster that was done by the... I think it was actually was independently done. It was in the armor school first. It's a picture from the May Day parades. They did these all over Europe, the Russians did. And when they had the May Day parade, you always see the, you know, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da I'll tell you what, go back down the road and watch to see where they all cluster-screwed, ganged up and formed up so that they could go down the road the way you see them in front of Red Square. Well, there's this image of that marshaling yard, that marshaling fields, they're just fields upon fields upon fields. And it's a picture of the, like I would say it's probably 2000, maybe 3000 T-62s and T-54 or 55s that you can see in this one shot. And everyone's got the tank commander in his prim position, you know, with both hands on the cupolo and they're all out, you know, and they're all ready. They're all, you know, all pumped up because they're going to be on parade there. and they're already technically on parade the moment that they were brought out in formation. Okay? So they've all, they're all squared away and there's this picture in the foreground is one of the tanks, the barrel's right in your face like down below and you can see thousands of tanks beyond. And the little cap, the caption reads, a reinforced tank, Russian tank platoon. What do they mean by that? Well, see that's the joke. It's like whoever the lieutenant is in charge of the first platoon, the first squadron that makes contact, till such time as the battlefield may have a rest or a change, the point of contact, the officer in charge, is the officer in command of the operation. And this is hard for a lot of people to wrap their brains around. Now there's a point where the banner of command is, you know, the baton is passed on. But in a point of contact, especially where you were having a success, some dunderhead coming in and telling you, I was in the Schmidt Lap War 4 and I was doing it, I did that. It's like, were you here 15 minutes ago? No. Were you here two hours ago? No. What were you doing two hours ago? Well, I was in the burger joint, we were picking our nose and you know, I actually had a few beers. Oh, okay, well that's really good. Meanwhile, the guy that's right here, this young man, he's in charge. He's actually been doing a pretty good job. We've got enemy casualties. See all those corpses over there? His men made him. How'd they make him? Successful operation in coordination on the part of him and his people. If we're going to do anything for the moment, we're reinforcing the winner. And we're going to continue to reinforce him. For the time being, that man has a better understanding of the battlefield than a point of contact than anybody else that can waddle in here. I don't care what kind of fruit salad you have on your chest, I don't care what you claim you did in whatever period of time, this person right here, young, old or indifferent, is the person we're listening to. Now, we may recommend, because we will have war councils. War councils, I want you to get used to that. Militias traditionally have war councils. You don't think so? You better read a little bit more on George Washington's campaign. You better read more on the Green Mountain Boys. Then go to the War of 1812, and like I've said many times on the air here, militias have war councils because you have alliances. They are confederations of troops. That's the neat thing, is that they can be quite successful because everybody's on the same page. But to do it, everybody has to be in communications with each other. They have differences, but they all understand that they have a common cause. That's why, again, we could have squandered the victory that we had going into Canada, and they've written in the museums here, it's total buffoonery. I've got text from the day, back in the day, the actual Battlefield Diaries. I've read them. And the militia prevented the few active military that were part of the Detroit to Windsor campaign to the Ontario Peninsula campaign. They're the ones who reigned in the idiot sticks who wanted to squander what was a victory and of course not only roll the victory up but secure the real estate that they've taken rather than leaving their rear wide open. A war council was taken on the heights over on the Ontario side after we drove the British across the river. Then we overtook all their frigates that were on the line there. We took Windsor, then we went on into the peninsula, and there was a whole series of skirmishes and small battles leading to a significant series of actions. We won War of 1812. Now, they were saying, we could take all of Canada. Canada was rife and full of what? Tories we had kicked out of the United States. We did not want, nor did we need, Canada. Love the Canadian people where they are. They don't like us. We don't like them to a degree because they're the Tories we kicked out. That's the real story as opposed to the meeeeesss they try to generate. And what is it that reigned them in? The War Council of the Militia. See how that works? So you will have war councils. You may have a quick or hasty command decision that needs to be made. You may eventually, like I said, hand off the baton of command if a vastly superior, numerically heavy force is available that can relieve what is perhaps a military, a militia unit that is in protracted contact. Remember, you have attrition. This is another thing. This is not the movies. You have attrition and the attrition usually takes place because contact has been made extensively You have the adrenaline rush you've got all the pucker factor issues But it plays on the body of them for every hour that you stay in contact You're consuming more and more of the of the body's reserves Having been in contact for a day or two days non-stop. I mean granted with perhaps a rest or a short lull is Pressing upon the troops and this is where relief is critical There's a point at which the energy is expended of the contact unit or the militia force. Example is if Waco had developed, Waco would have probably been about a three to seven day battle on the ground. It would have eventually, I mean we would have secured them quickly. The enemy would have thrown more in there. Unfortunately, Americans would be fighting Americans. Oh well, get over with a killed bunch of stinking Israelis, a bunch of Brits and some Russians had we gone into Waco. You do realize that? The Russians were on the ground there, the Russians were the psychological warfare unit, the Brits were intelligence and collection, the Israeli skanks were the ones in charge, and I'd love to shoot every last one of them at Waco, that were outside in the siege. Oh yeah, we wouldn't let any of them get away. Every one of those turrets would have been dead on the ground, and the bad guys, the regime under Clinton, would have poured or tried to pour more material in, and that's where the conflict would have started. Because Americans, the problem they had is they put it out on television. An American stepping up to the plate means other people would have to make decisions. And the anti-gun issue then was no different from the anti-gun issue now. That is why they attacked on the 19th of April at Waco because they knew the malicious, real, regular forces were coming and that they had no choice but to strike, create, try to create terror so we would all be scared. and then failed horribly in all categories but showed everybody what kind of animals and monsters the government had hired and the government was employing which convinced all of us that we needed to prepare to fight harder and better. Well you look at these hairball communists and what we're dealing with right now and you tell me that you better not be ready you better be ready to fight harder and better and remember the government will side with the communists because the communists are in our government not even our government anymore. So remember that's the problem that's why people aren't signing up for the military. It's like why I'm a white heterosexual male You want to piss on my face piss on my back I get in there you're telling I got to wear high heels so I can relate to my femininity piss on you You know what militias won't do that to you. We're still white heterosexual Americans on top everything else We got hey we got Hispanics we got black we got everybody too But you know what if you're a man you're a man if you're a woman you're a woman And they ain't no others in between. Just a part of the program. So just a heads up. That's why they're having a problem. They want to get them armed and bigger so they can go to war. The only option they're going to have is to do a draft thing on that. Well, watch and see how that works. Because the prissy ones really, really, really don't like that idea anymore. And they'll be telling everybody how they have a right to send you to war because you're not one of the chosen and they are. Don't forget that one too. Okay? Now, uh... Real quick again, we started out talking about stripping enemy dead in processing. I would point out intelligence is what we're looking for remember letters communiques Personal letters anything and everything stripped from the enemy dead should be kept together. This is why we want to keep the clothing the gear Initially everything in a single pod and that's why again also marked for point of contact Remember that it will be quickly returned, moved to the rear, and at the processing point, the intelligence collection personnel are the ones who are going to help with the processing of the gear. Now there's a reason you've got to slow down here. There are so many ways that things can be hidden in clothing that you're going to get really good at finding stuff like this. But remember that there are hidden pockets. I've pointed out many times, guys, As an OPP4 commander, I fielded units using Hungarian, Czech, Polish, real Russian uniforms. I went out of my way and I found them around the country. And one of the things that I watched over and over again, thousands of exercises, I mean to the point where I could commend the three units. that actually did the job the way they were supposed to and identified all of the conniption fit things that could happen and go wrong because of the nature of the equipment that most people were not familiar with. And you know who were the best units? MESCIT units and support units were better at doing a thorough job of searching and inspecting prisoners. Then the MP units that were supposed to do it because MP units are supposed to be support, you know supporting processing of personnel like that and Even infantry units take your pick, you know mech mech or whatever Time and again, I put mackerel pistols on or or the the CZ pistols in the hidden pistol pockets in the uniforms These guys would pat guys down. They'd even intentionally abuse the guys because they were trying to show you, yeah, you're up for it. We're going to show you, okay, so they do this and they'd all pat everybody down and they'd be taking their boot laces, do everything, all the other stuff to abuse you that they, you know, they can do. And after we're all done, we're standing there, we'd be like, okay, I just give a nod, and Sergeant Ellsworth would reach into that pocket with the MP standing there with him with his hands to his side, pull out the pistol, and put it right to a guy's head, and basically to the side and say, and you're done, and you're done. And by the way, the other two guys here, they're armed too. Repeat this happened over and over and over and over and over again. So again, you have to understand and you need to know the systems that are available to the aggressor forces, clandestine forces like the Mossad, other skank foreign military operations, intelligence operations themselves, secret police units, interior police units have their own special techniques and technologies. Remember, as we've said many times, they even have their own costuming department, just like we're talking about, where they would actually dress up as other militaries to deceive, for instance, the controlled press, or basically to deceive you. When the invasion of Poland took place, or Hungary, back during the Cold War, guys, when they went in and they did policing actions, those weren't Polish police that were doing that. Those were interior police of the KGB of Communist Russia who were dressing up and would be dressed up by the wardrobe department, the supply department of the KGB. They did this all the way back to when the Czechoslovak were in power. When the NSKBD and the Czechoslovak executed the Polish officer corps, they used Walther P-38s. The character who was the mass murderer who did that, who actually organized it, they actually saved all of the pistols and they were given to him as a secret police commander decades later. They were given to him as a special collection for his private gun collection as a commissar, as a secret police executioner. He had all the P-38s that they had used. Now they hadn't only used P-38s. I would point out that 762 by 25 Tokarev had been used extensively for the mass murders once they got into heavy production because they were stacking them and racking them like cordwood people, literally stacking them like cordwood. That's not figurative. They literally packed the people into these mass graves five, six hundred at a time and they got it done in record time. Okay, they did it like production because that's what it was. But the units that did the work actually going into Poland or like in Hungary, the Hungarian Revolt. Whole brigades of interior police of the KGB were dressed up as Hungarian forces and were doing the dirty deeds, faking everybody out as Hungarian forces. They bragged about it later. All the records are readily available from the fall of the wall and nobody wants to talk about it because it totally changes the history that the liars and the controlled media generated. Oh, that's right. Remember, you don't want to have to rewrite the books where everything you were telling everybody was a falsehood. So just a little heads up there. That, by the way, has not changed. We're going to see that here in the future. So we're already, we've already taught our people and we're prepared for it. Okay? Anyway, again, once the material is recovered, after intelligence has gone through, they're going to collect the new portfolios and files and electronic files based upon the electronic components which will be pulled also have to be precautionary there for booby traps. Even after you've got everything squared away, electronics will be in a secured sandbag area and will be handled in a particular method before any process of use develops. These are all parts of the layers of precaution. They need to be taken but are they worth it? Oh hell yes Remember we'll find out where they live. We'll know who they've been talking to public and private phone conversations We will know who it is that will be deported because they're their buddies See how that works. They think they're doing that in a reverser right now with all this like where we've been talking about guess what? We're doing it to them in spades And all the people are doing their suck up buddy thing there about yeah, I hate America, we hate the Americans, you know, we don't spell the right to be God. Well, we'll remember you. Not other people. You better pray to God that somebody else doesn't get to you before we do because we plan on doing something right, maybe trying or whatever, I don't know. Other people, we'll be so kind. Anyway, we are at the top, first hour is done, God bless our republic. Death of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in the march. And again, prior, proper planning prevents piss poor performance. You team leaders out there, you're going to have a responsibility. You all wanted that control. You want that power. Yeah, that comes a whole lot of sleepless nights with that too. You better remember and be prepared for it. If you really want the job, we'll be back.

He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me 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 free and home for the freedoms we secured for you We hope to always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedoms gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave In this, the land of the free and home 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 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 satrated 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, so their children and people, 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 what 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. As I awoke, he 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 trampled 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, dill the land? And remember your training and you will come back alive. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our currently one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories, southeast, north, northwest and Central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on Btree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and UltraNet. hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends out there in Lower 49 which includes the great state of Jefferson. The lower occupied UN zone from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico and about 150 miles in. The traders in Washington are fully happy with UN control and UN treaties inside the United States. They've betrayed us and they're going to continue to betray us. Ain't nobody talking about overturning any of those UN treaties to violate American sovereignty. They're all sucking weenie on that one. Big time. From the Pentagram to the White House to the Congress, both the Democrat and Republicans are all the same. Weenie, weenie liquors. Big time. Go go find them globalists and remember they're just waiting for you to kiss their hind end Well, they want you actually be you know tongue toilet paper So that's what that that's where they expect those characters from DC to be they've all been blackmailed anyway every last stinking one of them Anyway, also the wanting states outlying territories and the clock 24 hours in the day. It is 607 Eastern Standard Time here And again, on the pizza, the sphere, or the donut, whatever you believe in, well, we'll be happy with that. We can figure it all out after the war, when everything's said and done, and we'll determine what the shape of the planet is. It may end up being a tetrahexazine, or a lopsided paracube. Kind of round, but cubish in spots. We never expected that one. Boy, we really could. We didn't see that one coming. Wow. Anyway, today's date, it is Weapons Wednesday, it is the 28th of August, it is the 11th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K-2019 Old Earth Calendar. Oh, Captain, I do think we could, it'll blow up if we do that. Come on, Scotty. Oh, okay, we'll do it anyway and see what happens. Ooh, that was the end of the season. Anyway, also 2019, year of conflict, year of betrayal, as we said before, year of lies. While they're busy trying to confiscate the guns, and Mr. Trump is in the forefront along with the Democrats and Republicans, they're all in bed together, they've just shown it. Now they made a comment, did anybody catch this yesterday? Oh, it was yesterday. Oh, they're rethinking what they announced and already said they were going to do. Wait a minute, back up here. This is like the pedos when the pedophiles a couple years ago threw the pedophile card out and the government and the school systems. They're still doing it right now. But then it's like, oh, oh no, well, we didn't really mean that. Wait a minute. Once you throw the pedo card out, you all know what's going on. So now Trump mouth and all the rest of these liars, they're all supposed to be the fake opposition. Like I told you, the rubber band broke. The eggshell was cracked. and they all showed you what their colors are but wait a minute wait a minute they did and they were so proud of it and and trump read like a monotone like just retard oh you're like and the beautiful beautiful babies and we gonna have more background checks and blah blah blah blah and blah blah blah and blah blah and blah and blah blah blah blah right out of charlie brown Okay, to the point where it's like, oh, I can shut this off. I should just turn the teleprompter on. Let me read it. I could get it done faster. Okay. And so now it's, he didn't mean that. The other Republic rats, well, there's a bunch of them that, well, yeah, they are rhinos and they are working with the commies, but, but, but no, wait a minute. You need to shut your brain off and forget everything they said. They're rethinking it now. Really? I think we all know now beyond the shadow of a doubt, how they really think. In fact, we already pretty well guessed it, but now they all announced it. They all, they beat the gong, so there's no difference between the two. So here's what a lot of people are doing is why bother, you know, doing the fake vote routine. You know what they just convinced. People are like, here's what, here's what Kushner was doing. Well, you know, what are they going to do? Vote for somebody else? Well, how about they just don't show up? Yeah, made no sense in wasting time, money, resources, and every day you can either go out fishing or you can waste time with the fake hack Trump's Trump scam. Okay? Go fishing and just also every day prepare for the war that's coming. You're gonna have some fishing time in, you're gonna be happy, you don't waste time with the politics of the election nonsense, and when the communists, you know, have to flip the card the rest away, you're not gonna have any problem shooting them. and the government employees that follow the orders, they're going to get shot by people because people are fed up with them. And when they look for friends and they find that we are not their friends anymore, which we never were as long as you start this garbage, you just proved to me you're my enemy. Alright, we're going to have a red flag laws. You're attacking the Bill of Rights. Let's not even worry about Article 2. Article 1, Article 4, Article 5, Article 6, Article 7, Article 8, Article 9, Article 10 are what all screwed and burned. If the red flag and the tap scam, which they're already pushing it, so it's already dead. The Bill of Rights has been slaughtered by these pigs. They are these swine, these vicious monsters. So they're not going to pull that card back. It's too late. So now it's basically, okay, the court BS is done, oh, but we're going to sue them on this. Oh, they love that. They're going to be, oh, you're going to be making money. Wait, you're wasting your time. They're going to, I mean, we're going to do it. But you know that it's part of that wasting your time and your life and your money and whatever you digits you've accumulated by wasting your time going to work. And then you turn around and give it to the strangers so that they can laugh and party hardy and eat caviar and slug drinks behind closed doors where you can't go. And they'll all laugh about how they're playing the rubes on both sides. Just like in the scam with politics. It's the same with the courts. And in reality, wow, we're just going to be figuring to stretch us out that much farther and we're all going to get caught flat footed and have no idea about their red dares camps and what they plan on doing. No, no, we actually fully understand, but you can enjoy some fishing time, get some other gardening in, whatever you're doing, rather than waste time with the election process because they don't have any interest in us. Their logic is that we're just, they could piss on you. They can defecate in your face with the gun confiscation thing and you're just going to go, oh Donald, give me some more. And instead it's like, well, down to down down, you don't need any us, kiss off and goodbye. You know what? An open communist is real simple to deal with, but again, a better an open enemy to your front than a bad friend to your rear. Oh, what's that sharp pain between the shoulder blades? You see how that works? Better a good friend to your front. than a, or forgive me, a slap mark in the microphone. Better a good enemy to your front than a bad friend to your rear. Because it basically equates out to no friend to your rear, okay? That's what we're looking at here. So, anyway, they threw the card out, now they want to bring it back. Oh, we didn't really mean it. We said it publicly. He said, Trump said this garbage on all the national networks. I don't think they digitally enhanced and played with anything. They didn't need to. The Fumble Dinks that make up the leftists that are there running him, Kushner and the Dinky Daughter, they got their tentacles, of course, along with Netanyahu's, are right up Trump's arse. And whoever put that garbage on the teleprompter, he just flapped his mouth right out and read it right off into the archives. It's history now. You can try to claim, well, it didn't mean what he said. Well, words mean something. And if not, why are you talking at me? Well, it really didn't mean what he was meaning, even though he said it's very serious and he's gonna have to, yeah, and they're gonna do gun confiscation and forget due process. You know, we'll just take the guns and worry about due process later, okay? Well, we're not supposed to remember any of that. But we're seeing it now. And again, don't worry about Article 2. How about Article 1, Article 4, Article 5? Let's talk about gross violations of the body of the law of this nation, foundational structure, and they're doing it in such a way that we're all supposed to cheer while they're busy raping us. Oh look, they're raping, killing, pillaging, and burning. Alright! You know what? Piss off. Anyway, enough on that. Now, other things. We discussed recovery material and equipment last hour. Today is Weapons Wednesday. A couple of announcements. Okay, some people are going, well, Mark was stupid and he's telling you how to buy this cheap body armor. Yep, I am. I'm in a heartbeat. I'm going to tell you if you can't afford a lot, get something. However, for those of you who just absolutely, you know, you've got to buy, you've got to buy, you've got to spend more money. If you don't spend money and make it expensive, why? It's just not any good. I'll relate the story that I've said many times when I used to go to the gun shows and I had ammunition I'd buy for almost nothing. Brand new from the manufacturer right down the road here. And I'd put it out for $1.25. 12 gauge Sabo ammunition, $1.25 a box from the BRI manufacturers, the kids down the road that made the company, okay? What's fascinating is I'd be there early in the show and I'd have cases of it and some guy would come up, oh you want that for it? Yeah. Well, how many cases you got? Well, I got four or five cases. I tell you, you can have a case if you want. So the guy by it, take it down the hall, he thought he was cool, and he was. You can charge whatever you want for product. And he had the same ammunition. He put a price tag of $550 a box, because it was going for about $8 a box retail. It was brand new. The Sable, the discarding Sable, M.O. Same stuff that Remington presently sells, because Remington bought the copyright and the patents on everything, okay, and gave it a new name. So anyway, I watch these people, they come in and they look at my table and I had a dollar, 25 a box, and I bought them for 35 cents a box, 45, it depends on how many cases I bought, but 35 cents a box, they guys really, they were nice to me. And it was ridiculously cheap, they just had to get this stuff out of the site because they were moving, okay? And so anyway, these people look at Miami when they, oh, they make this snotty, like, oh, that's the cheap stuff, oh, that's the cheap stuff. And they'd go down the aisle to the other end of the aisle, this big at the 8-mile armory, by the way, and they'd buy the $5, $6, or $8 box ammo to be down the way. And they'd be like so proud because they got the expensive ammo and they'd come down and then you'd see them stop and they'd look and they were looking at my ammo like they were going to be snide because they got this plastic clear bag and you can see the ammo they bought. And they'd look at it and I said, oh, it's the same lot. and they'd look at my ammo and they'd look at theirs and then they'd take the box out because, oh, you're stupid. And they'd look at the lot number and then they'd look at it and then they'd get this, oh, expression on their face. Oh, and they'd be all pissed off and it's like, no, you decided that if it cost more, it just must be better. And again, I could have, what really been funny if I've been smart, there was a color change in the boxes. I could have put the one box ammo at $1.25 and then put the other one like at $8. I mean, I could have been like that. Oh no, that's the special, the new special. This is the old stuff for $1.25. I guarantee I would have sold all the $8 box ammo probably, but I just didn't think like that. I'm sorry, I just don't. My idea was get as much of this stuff off the shelf before it go off into oblivion because they had to get the stuff moved so I moved pallets of that ammunition Okay, but here's the thing the guy goes down the back down the aisle He's all upset with the other guy. He paid the top dollar for for the same ammo and it's like why? Well yours is a dollar 25. Yep. You saw it I know you saw when you came in you all did the same thing you all looked at my ammunition and you would made some snide comment you know or you were doing like that said cheap stuff and then he went down the aisle and you bought the expensive stuff well you know buyer beware you should have probably been paying more attention you were looking at the price sticker rather than looking at the information on the box in the database didn't you Okay, so here's the thing to make everybody happy. There are different qualities of product out there and in this case over at Sportsman's Guide, they just got these in. There actually is about five or six other types of armor that came in to Sportsman's Guide. I don't know what it is. They have a horrible search mechanism for their system and also where they put this stuff. But anyway, at Sportsman's Guide, if you get over there, Here's what I want you to look at. And the reason I want you to look at it is because if you're looking for upper grade armor and you wanted ceramics and you wanted brand new so to speak, brand new old inventory in this case, okay? New product, new, got a big red new with an exclamation point. Hungarian military surplus ballistic vest with ceramic blades, like new. Item number 710045. Now, price per unit, if you're a Buyers Club member, $360 for the vest. However, this is a full rifle grade range defense system. Now, it's only for show and for collectability, of course. Kevlar polyarimid inserts for the body armor for the soft armor. Probably for level 3 by what I can see. Again, this is Hungarian. Here's what's really cool. Number 1, you have to make a selection. When you go to the first selection, they have size small to size 2X. They have size small, medium, large, extra-large, and extra-extra-large. So there you go. You need big. If you need big, they got it. Okay, so I'm going to just say extra-large. Now then, there's another, it says color selection. Now this is what's really cool. I don't know where they got these. I guarantee they got them for bargain basement. By comparison to what they're charging on the market, I guarantee they got them for a lot less. But they're worth it. You've got desert, which is the DCU 3 color pattern. You have OD green, which is obvious, very straightforward. These look brand new, but sitting on the shelf. What they're saying is basically they're old inventory. And then you have woodland. Now this is a different woodland from the American, but it's close enough it'll blend in just fine with like the French CCE, the Italian woodland, the US woodland. So if you've got the color range, or I'll tell you what, this would really work well with too and nobody'd know the difference. Dutch DPM camouflage, the DPM, their version of the DPM pattern, the paintbrush. has the speckle flex and the other stuff in it like this pattern of the Hungarian woodland and so it will blend well and the color ranges are comparable it's just that it has more of the dough skin than you know dough skin in there the lighter tannish brown okay again $360 well it's a lot of money as well you wanted brand new you wanted you know military spec And this is with full spectrum ceramic plates. Okay? For $360, that is actually a very good price. If you don't think so, go price the counterparts across the market right now with ceramic plates and full range Kevlar for the gut, the shoulders, and the throat. So there you are. There's a better solution for those who really want to spend top dollar. Personally, like I said, you can fabricate something like this in a reverse order, like go with the other vests that are out there that I've already mentioned. And there's a couple options, but the Polish or the NATO stuff, the NATO surplus flax stab protection, you buy that for $63. You buy the threat level 3 plate or the steel plate armor vest that are available for about $150. You put the undercover vest or the plate vest on first. You then put the NATO surplus flax tab on and you have comparable defense to what you're talking about here. But you're only spending about $200. In fact, that's about what you are spending, $200. And you're getting a tactical rig with, you know, salt pouches, all nine yards, grenade pockets and everything else that you would need. But it's a personal flavor choice whatever you choose, but here you are here you go These are new old in there should say old new inventory there we go. They're old, but new you know new inventory old stock and They are 365 dollars and again the title just so everybody is correct on this Hungarian military surplus ballistic vest with ceramic plates like new $360.00. And I would point out that we'll see what's the combat weight. Well, first of all, Hungarian military issue made in Hungary, polyester nylon construction, Kevlar polyarimide fiber inserts in body, shoulders, and collar, ceramic front and rear plate 10 inch by 12 inches, adjustable hook and loop side straps for good fit. Okay, that's for adjustability for breathing and for flexibility. And the total combat weight is 25 pounds. Yeah, well, steel plates are about the same. It's like wearing a dog food bag. Okay, for anybody who wonders about when you want heavier armor, I'll go to the Stauper rifle. Well, then you're going to have to spend money. You're not John Wick, and even if you did, I wouldn't be wearing John Wick's body armor. I'm sorry, that whole cool thing about, oh, he's got this armor of stops, but it hurts. No, it doesn't just hurt. It bruises and crushes, you know, body parts, okay? So I would still want something a little more rigid underneath that really cool, like super flex clothing that you see that they showed you. And yes, I'm sure that to a degree any of these ballistic type materials are available. But there is a defeating, you know, progressive escalation of ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. So, shock plates and trauma plates, we've talked about this before, and different levels of Kevlar, whatever you choose, or you know, ballistic armor of whatever kind, take your pick. It doesn't have to be Kevlar, there's a bunch of other company names out there, okay? But whatever it is that they use, you have to come up with a system. And there are available less expensive systems for $200 I can put the same protection together off the shelf that you have here with these Hungarian units. They're good. This is a good vest a very good vest In fact, if you have the money for this you need to do the research but picking up spare armor like this You're talking full ceramic You're talking full Kevlar a top bottom and inserts that can be pulled out You can wash the whole of the thing do whatever you want to do to clean it up and fix it up and then you know Get back to work So there's a solution. You wanted more expensive. We talked about ceramics the other day. And I will point out again, this goes from size small in all of them in the DPM, the Woodland Camo, or in the OD Green. They go from small to extra, extra large. Small, medium, large, extra large, and 2X. and then in all three of the color if you want to go just OD green some of you guys out there you know what I'm talking to you guys are OD green base and then you use a salt smocks for you know camo breakup well there you go there's OD green if you want to go that way and $360 but it is old you know new old inventory nor old new inventory take your pick and tell you how you want to describe it works either way See again SportsmansGuide.com and get a catalog with Sportsmans Guide. There is a free shipping number there. These are heavy. 25 pounds, a dog food bag. They're going to ship you a dog food bag. If you get a new Sportsmans Guide catalog, the new Sportsmans Guide catalog has a code on the inside first front page for free shipping. So all this heavy stuff you're buying, free shipping would be nice. Probably a real good idea. Just a thought, maybe Mark's a little stupid there and I'm not thinking all the time. Now another thing is when you go to search this, the picture is going to show up is the ceramic plates, the two big green arced shield plates. The picture of the vest isn't there, so throw that out of your mind. What you're looking for is Hungarian military surplus, ballistic vest and ceramic plates like new, the plates are the seller, that's why they put them up there as the image. Then when you go to the item, click the item, then all the information down below, including the pictures of the front and the back of the vests in the Woodland, in the OD Green, or in the DC, the DC, DCU. Let's see, what else do we have? Anything else exciting? Nothing else jumping out at me there that I can see. No, it's not an Osprey system. You don't have a lower middle arm protection or upper arm protection that articulates. You'd have to, you know, somebody just asked, well, does this have any other attachments? Oh, they probably do. It's possible, but again, if you look at the Osprey system and then you look at the way these vests are, this particular system, I'd jump on this in a heartbeat. If I was in the field and somebody said, well, this is all we got, well, that's what we're using. Everybody, everybody we can fit up, fit up, everybody wears it. Congratulations. If you're going to be a, you know, if you're going to be part of the assault team and this gives you, you know, similar potential. By the way, it has a, a chin shield too. It has the neck protector, but it also has the back and front chip, if you're familiar with how those work. In fact, one of the tricks there is, again, depending upon what system you choose, there's a number of different options with regard to how these things are put together. Now, what's that? What are you talking about with a chin? It's a chin chip shield. It goes up under the chin, but also you can to a degree even tuck your face down underneath it a little bit, offering that much more protection to vital parts of the body you don't want to see, you know, flooded, okay, or damaged. There's a number of different tricks with this armor that you can also, where you can add items, it is true, even if it's not with this system. Any of these systems you can find supplemental armor components. that are out there that are with other systems that will work quite well with what you're talking about here for instance if you needed the arm if you want to go elbow and upper or mid arm body armor there are separate little add-on hanger solutions that are available and they do cost money even as surplus as I pointed out. Okay next we're at the bottom of the hour here so let's write it right off the bat again one more time Sportsman's Guide www.sportsmansguide.com then go to the search Hungarian military surplus ballistic vest with ceramic plates comma like new only old inventory okay fully adjustable comes with all the goodie straps to tighten everything down cinch everything up so it doesn't weeble wobble on you etc etc now next Of course you're pairing that 25 pound bag of dog food and that doesn't have tactical gear. You have to have a vest or a cover for that, your hangers for that, that you put on separate. So the chest pouches would be an option with this rig, which wouldn't hurt. Remember that's more junk in front of you too whenever you do that. So, you know, with this particular system you could easily go with the different chest pouches that they have or chest systems that keep the rig forward and would be easier to get on and off considering that this is a through the neck side, you know, open up the sides, undo the strapping, undo your velcro, or undo your buckler clips, loosen everything up, open up the vest and, you know, basically pull it over your head. When this is on, this is on. It's staying where it's supposed to. Pretty much, that's it. Okay, I wouldn't plan on dropping it. But your salt rig would go on over top of it, obviously. You can't reach underneath that vest, that armor. And you need a system so that you still have a second solution that needs to be in place. One way or another, you've still got a layer of systems that you're going to be strapping into when you look at these types of technologies. And that's important to understand. Next, let's see, again let's go over to ARMS. Somebody was asking, well you know what, it's funny, we're going into contrary roller coaster now. If we said AKs, somebody would say ARs. If we said ARs, someone would be pushing AKs. There are a number of other weapons out there and MBRs are yet another category, but you know, there are people that will poo-poo the MBRs no matter what. And there's other people that will say, well, my weapon is an M14, and that's the only thing I would carry. Well, these are different schools of thought, and they're all correct. Except when they start doing the, oh, but yours is junk. No, it's not. I'm showing up. I'm here. I got what I got. Congratulations. Now shut up and focus on the enemy. See, the enemy's over there. There's no enemy over here unless you're going to start causing conflict and stupid stuff, okay? That's one of the problems with when we deploy. Again, like I said, everybody has their style or their system. Within a squad or a fire team even, a fire team can be integrated with another fire team it hasn't trained with as long as they understand. Within their team, their method of operation doesn't change. But they have to have the brains to be able to intercommunicate with the other five-man team that's going to be their counterpunch. Basically within the team they operate however they would operate but with regard to as a team responding to someone else they need to be able to work with that other five-man fire team so they can be a punching system. Right hand, left hand, left hand, right hand, left, left, left, right, right, left, left, right. Move out, I got you covered. Cover me and move it out. Okay, basically again remember that's where the team the squad leader comes in whoever the squad leader is You don't micromanage what that other team is doing within their team with regard to how they make contact So long as they continue to make contact you're not going to tell them that we're going to do it this way No, if you're especially bringing multiple formations together with different backgrounds in history and in training You may improve it, but in an initial Confederation bringing everybody together What you do is you minimally manage. That's the job of the team leader, the fire team leader, the squad leaders. If the squads are already organized, you're not even going to reintegrate or mix them up. Congratulations, that squad's going to be part of 4th Platoon. 4th Platoon is still missing another squad. Ten more people show up and they're part of that one. So what you're going to do is you're going to have to direct and macro manage initially. Now, once you have contact, once you've dealt with the threat, Then you may withdraw progressively from the action and start to re-manage personnel so that you can integrate certain formations with others that make more sense based upon their training. You don't try to alter the people that have trained. The idea is to sculpt the units so that the people are copacetic in their training and sophistication. Each person may have a group, not person, Each group may have a different dogma, a way that they train. Congratulations, there's not that many variations on what can be done. So most important is if it looks like Bob's group is not going to get along with John's group, but John's group and Fred's group are copacetic, then you do some table order of battle shifting so that the guys that are copacetic in training are now on the same page. You take the groups that have other training or you may be just a unique formation with an independent strike unit or with response units. You can have any number of different initial training, you know, base guidelines or base philosophies and bring them together and they're going to work just fine. Now, again, in the long run you will tweak and eventually through war councils you will develop what is the new standard based upon a number of training ideas and exploitation of action. Once you develop, once you identify what works best in the field, you will choose to structure for the time being your SOP and your formations to meet what is a successful pattern and you will embrace it. However, you still need to be flexible because what may work today may need tweaking and changing tomorrow with the changing times. There may be a need based upon change in weapons systems, change in support, material technology, training in terms of manpower, what do you have available? This is one of the other issues again. In some cases you're better with people with no military experience whatsoever and especially if you have a philosophy slash a dogma that you know you wish to impress with and move against the enemy with in a very narrow and specific way. You're tweaking that particular group. for a particular theater or an activity. You don't necessarily want any other dogma or any other philosophy interrupting or interfering with what it is you're projecting in the way of an image. Remember, your enemy is collecting intelligence at the same time that you are. So misdirecting and redirecting is something we've been doing for quite some time and it is something that you will be doing in the field and supporting us in with your actions. In many cases, you know again maintaining a level of confusion in the enemy camp There's no single you know style or technique that they can put a finger on okay? another thing oh You know what I somebody asked me about this I do I have not called down to you and ammo comm it's weapons Wednesday Okay, one of the things that you and ammo has is flares They have parachute flares, they have star cluster flares, and they have ground illumination, and they have marker smoke. Now, they have been selling a lot, and I know one group bought a couple of pallets from UNAMO, so they're one of the reasons there was a knockdown in inventory there just about a month ago. And I believe that they took the parachute flares back off of the bottom of the scroll. I'm going to look right now while I'm talking. Looks like they're not at the bottom where they were. I'm finding out right now it's taking forever for the scroll to work. It's getting there, it's getting there, it's getting there. We're almost to the bottom of the page. But if you go to UNAMO.com, UNAMO.com, they have, again, through the pyrotechnic section, there's an area where they have all kinds of cool stuff. They have... Let's see what they have left. Oh, well, I don't know. Looks like they still have the orange marker smoke at the very bottom. Now that is a dense smoke, but that is an orange smoke. Now there is a place for that because you may want to pop a certain color of smoke for marker on an aggressor and you may tell the individuals on the ground, well, what colors do they have? Well, they got orange, they got standard gray mud, and then they've got black marker too, which is actually night smoke. The idea is to create blackness, the image of blackness, okay? No, not as in African blackness, as in black as in darkness, okay? We're being a real offensive. Yeah, I shop, anyway. Yes, they still have the one minute super bright marine rescue flares, which in reality are again an illumination ground flare. You wanna start a fire fast, they work incredibly well. And these are a very, very, very nice piece of equipment. Minute hand flares, super bright, manufacturer, Comet. They're identical to the Payne Wessex. They are $75 if you go buy them and pick them up yourself for, I believe, it's $50, yep, it's $50. And if you haven't shipped to your doorstep, it's $50 for $100. So there's an example. Now the parachute flares, they were selling over the counter again for a bit where they were telling you that they had them. But I would remind you that in the past we've had to call them up and you get hold of the owner and he confirms and goes, yep, I've got the parachute flares. How many do you want? You know, we sell them by the case or they sell them by the pallet. If you make a pallet deal, you're going to be very happy. In fact, it's the cheapest price in the country as far as I know. Now, these are lifeboat elimination and lifeboat service and security equipment is what it is. Safety gear. It's good for years, it would be good for decades. In fact, there's stuff that we've shot that's been in storage for 25 years, of the Payne's Wessex especially, and we've never had a malfunction. We've never had a failure. We're on the Great Lakes. We get a lot of surplus like this from the lake ships too, the lake freighters. And there are a couple of companies. Now I haven't tried them in a while, but if you go to UNAMMO.com, remember you can give him a wink and a nod over there at the store and ask them if they have the flares available. Then they will tell you, forgive me, the parachute flares. There we go. Mark will get it right. These are the Illumination Parachute Flares. We don't care even what color, though. Colors are interesting. Colors are useful for signal and identification. So you need to have the colors on the shelf in order to integrate them into your SOP, your standard operating procedure. But they are available. And there are other companies that carry them too, but UN seems to have the best price that I've seen. He's not gone crazy with them. They do get them for a great price themselves, or they wouldn't be selling them for the price they are. Okay, they're getting a good price for them, and they're making a reasonable profit, and that's not a surprise. That's expected. Another thing real quick with UN ammo is, yes, they do have A number of different loads in the Russian, in the Wolf, or in the Czech. They've got Czech... What is it? Yeah, they've got the CZ ammunition right now in stock again too. Wow, okay. 762x45, rare ammunition. Oh God, that means the price is going to be outrageous. 1,200 rounds for $665 shipped. Yep, you can buy twice as much AK ammo for the same price. However, if you have the C, the VZ-52 or the VZ-53 rifles, and they are out there in 7.62x45, you're going to need some ammo, and he does have a quantity of that ammunition in stock, so there is a solution. In the 308 loads, there is a broad mix available and he also has gotten in some 8mm Mauser again. Ethiopian, oh my god. Ethiopian, well actually it works pretty well and I won't complain about it because the guys have shot it and they actually figured it works just fine. Also packed like the German in Czechs, we're packaging ammo in that era. Comes in 15 round boxes, 20 boxes to a 300 round sleeve. You will get three sleeves per order containing 900 rounds. This is the least expensive 8 millimeter mouse that we have seen in years. It is 900 rounds of 8 millimeter mouse or ball, full weight heavy bullet 198, almost 200 grains for $310 shipped to your door. So if you've got a bunch of K98 Mausers or if you've got any G43s, I would sell those unless it's not a family heirloom. I would dump those on the market to somebody who's excited about them and buy a pile of something else, but that's just me. Only because, again, price is right. There is a bunch of other unique or wildcat rounds, the Creedmores, the Grendels, etc. that they've got in stock, and they always do. He's been very good about that. Another one is the 5.7. If you have the 5.7 pistols or if you have the PS 90 and whatever configuration, I've told you this and again, right now I would be ahead of the curve. I would buy as much of that as I can afford and I keep putting it on the shelf. It is a grease lightning round. There are 25, 30 round, 50 round, you know, whatever in the top stick mags or FN or aftermarket, who cares. To be quite honest, get the after markets to save wear and tear because that is a unique magazine system if you got the PS 90. But he always carries the 5.7 ammunition stock and he's been keeping a good inventory. Right now, 2,000 rounds of 27 grain aluminum core for $1,900, or forgive me, $1,395 shipped to your door, which is not a bad price. They also have the hollow point for a hell of a lot less actually. Well, no, not really. Not when you look at the base. Oh, I'm sorry. 500 rounds for $380. You do the math on that. And again, the 5.7 is a wicked little round. It's a little mini assault rifle cartridge. And the pistols, it's a laser gun. And the rifle, it's a laser gun. They also have the VMAX bullets, 1000 rounds for $499, I'll just say $500 there, put a dollar on that one. But that is all, this is all FN manufactured ammo only. That's the FN for all three loads that are available. Another thing is somebody was asking, you know, Green Tip if you could get it. Well sure, Green Tip is cool, but it's basically scaled down M2AP. Out 6, you know, AP ammo is what it is. Scale down guys. Okay, that's how they built it. It's not you'll see marches. It's like 30 on six. No, I didn't Hello McFly don't do that But otherwise again some really good buy on regular ball ammo. They do have some women who might have some new ten in oh I'm always interested in 10 millimeter, but oh, you know what? Oh, I can't say though. Yes, they do. Yeah, they do They have magtech back in stock 10 plus cases and this is the 180 grain FMJ. You're looking at a, again, factory load by Magtech. Magtech's been around a long time, shoot it all the time, everybody's been using it. Everybody's happy with it. It's nothing to write home about, it's just utility grade ball ammo. But I recommend it if you're looking for volume, you need to try and put as much on the shelf as you can. That is a solution, okay? So, and I do have 10mm in stock, so you guys love the 10s and I know they're on the upswing again. Well, that means that they're going to be a, you know, it's a good choice. But in order for more ammunition to be put on the shelf... You have to buy what's on the shelf. The guys who are selling this stuff, they're not there for your pleasure. Certainly, they appreciate your business, but they expect to turn things around, and they've got to make money on the deal too in order for them to keep the doors open because they all have shops and the government charges them all kinds of taxes for what they do. Anyway, the other one is JG Sales out of Arizona, as long as I'm in the Arizona sphere. And the reason I bring this up is JG Sales has body armor that we're talking about for $140, $150 a vest. If you were looking for the steel plate or plate insert system, that would be an option. I don't know what they have left because I'd have to give them a call. But again, remember, their page is not always fully updated. So you got to give them a scream and find out what it is that they have in stock and then go from there. Another thing And again, okay, forgive me, Apex, no, AIM Surplus. AIM Surplus was the other one. Thank you, Bob. Or no, thank you. Rob, I called him Bob. Rob, thank you, appreciate that for the, again, reminder. Over at AIM Surplus, they have some of the best prices on bolt carriers right now in the system. Of course, there's a few deals, but all the cheap, cheap, cheap stuff has been eaten up. and AIM surplus got hit pretty hard as far as purchases too, so don't be surprised there, but go look to see what they have in the way of deals right now because they do carry a number of decent priced, actually exotic metals, bolt carrier groups of the air, 15 and 556. and you should take a serious look at them. If you're going to spend money, the only thing again that I don't see in finishes is they did have some titanium for a bit, but I don't see them jumping out at me right now. And I have, yeah, I'm just looking, somebody said, Mel, Mark, I didn't see them either. Okay, well that's true. Okay, we're not going to dwell on that too much. But anyway, AR-15 mags, another thing. cheap Air 15 mags go through and try to find something that's reasonably priced that you know is not too outrageous. I know I've had a lot of people screaming about the $70 for a Romanian SVD magazine for a PSL mag. Yeah, I know. I told you when these things were $3 apiece, you know a couple years ago, buy the hell out of them. Some of you guys are smiling because I've seen two rigs where the person has 20 of the mags and he paid like $4. It was this window where a couple of the companies just had a pile of them come in. $4 a piece. He could sell two of his mags and pay for everything he's carrying. Which, if you want to, you could actually do them for $50 a piece, sell a spare one and make some money back and get some more ammo if you want. But the Romanian 10 round PSL mags are hovering right around 65 $69 they're not coming down That's in the 762 by 54 our round. It's the Toker it's It's the dragon off, you know, variant of rifle that's out there. The Romanian being the most common in what's left over from the last eight, nine years of purchasing. A lot of guys pretty well won't come off them. In fact, the price continues to creep up because finding an original is tougher and tougher. But if you do run into it, you are going to need more mags. If you just get one mag with a rifle, that is not enough. So then you're going to have to start counting your beans and figuring out how to make ends meet to be able to purchase more mags to make the weapon work the way it's supposed to. And again, a lot of people did take advantage of it. There might be a few of our friends down the road that would come off some of the mags if we have a friendly in Michigan. But they're not too excited about selling them anywhere else because they want to keep the weapons in country. They want to keep the technology they've helped to preserve inside our state for the time being. Because we know we're going to be fighting. It's not an if, it's just a when. So anyway, okay, we covered that. We got the aim. And again, I... You're going to have to, AIM is a tough one to go through because they'll show an item but then when you finally get to where you go to the item itself after you pair off everything, it's listed in the quantity, you know, quantity subjects. But then you get finally down the end, oh, it's out of stock. That's the only thing about their page is this little tweak in that respect. It shows you the image and it doesn't really acknowledge, it'll even let you, in some cases, it'll even let you put it in your, or try to put it in your, basket, but it will then tell you finally, oh by the way that's out of stock. So I wasted another four, five, six, ten minutes going through and picking out all the options and doing this and that and then you tell me out of stock and oh by the way no matter which one I go to it's out of stock. Oh you pissed me off. That's not making up. Mark not a happy person when you do that. So again, I'm just warning you about AIM. Otherwise, AIM's great for a lot of different items that they carry, including police trade-ins. If you guys are Glock owners, they've had more Glocks, I think, on the books than anybody else in the country, as far as for police trade-ins. If you're really into the cop guns, remember there's a bunch of them that actually have Department markers and engravings that are you know very much from the factory you know trade house that Glock has or SIG has or whoever and So you're getting a little bit more history with the gun too and that does bring its value up when you're looking at putting stuff on the shelf As far as new items well yeah there's a couple of police trade-in glocks is a bunch of new that are certified of this is i'm noticing a new trend is certified like a new now these are still cop shop guns but because they were the hanger queens what they've been doing is cleaning them up and they've been looking at him and they've been like yeah well it may be a service used gun but it was only maybe used for familiarization wants and otherwise it's virtually a brand new gun for all intent and purposes and because of that they're charging a outrageous price for those which to me again like I said you want some like that go look at the standard field grade first you can find a decent weapon in the pack it's just it's not going to be pristine and won't be certified for being like new okay but it will be close enough you won't know the difference it's a personal flavor choice thing and however you choose to spend your money that's your job not mine Another thing real quick here. I think this is the best price. Now you can slap me in the microphone on this. Silly billet. Okay, Sutter Bellow. I'm gonna do. Oh no, they're Czech. Wait a minute. Well, the factory's in Czech Republic. Anyway, Sutter Below, 6.5 Creedmoor. $10.95 a box. Now that is, if it's under $20, that 6.5 Creedmoor has been kind of up around the $21 to $25 mark. So this is a cellar below 6.5 Creedmoor, 140 grain FMJ boat tail, 20 rounds per box, $10.95 a box. That to me is actually a pretty decent price, but you can slap me in the microphone if I'm wrong. And again, before I go any farther, I better do this. I could be telling you about it and it could be out of stock. Nope, you still have it in stock right now. Seller below 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, 140 grain FMJ boat tail, 20 rounds to a box, $10.95. I don't see that there's a better price and quantity. You guys can use a follow-up on that and let us know if there's any change there. So that is another solution. 6.5 Creedmoor is a lethal round. It's again, it's breathing life into the 6.5 millimeter projectiles. I don't have a problem with that because what that in turn will do if they can keep it. If they can keep these 6.5 loads going, this means that all you people who have 6.5 JAP, you have 6.5 Karkano, 6.5 Mauser, any of those that are 6.5, 6.5 Dutch, don't forget that one, guess what? You'll be able to load cheaper because there are a number of projectiles you'll want to go to and embrace. And guess what? That 140-grain FMJ boat tail? That would be a very fine flat shooting bullet in a 6.5 swede rifle and would work well in any of the other calibers I just mentioned. So not the Creedmoor Chill. I'm talking about components. This is going to keep those components in production for a longer period of time. It's going to breathe life into what otherwise would be obsolescent cartridges because there wouldn't be anything to load with. You'd have to improvise everything or you have to buy whatever commercial is on the upper price tag end. But the bullets should be readily available. So again, that's why 6.5 anything? Oh, wonderful. Wunderbar, as they say. Yes, Wunderbar. So another thing, hold on here, I saw it, it spun by me and I slapped myself in the microphone while I start to mention something. And okay, here, yeah, that was the other one. Seller below 300 AAC blackout, 200 grain FMJ subsonic, 20 rounds per box, $10.95 a box. Again, that is a decent price. It's not the most expensive, it's not the bargain basement. I don't think much cheaper though is out there. So if you were looking for some of the unique calibers, this is one thing that AIM surplus has always been good for. Yeah, somebody else was saying, Mark, did you see the Smith and Wesson's there? Yes, I know what I caught this the last time we went over to AIM during the program, and I didn't follow up on this. They have a bunch of Smith and Wesson 6,906s, the 6,906s. Not a bad little pistol, comparable to any of the other guns that are out there that are presently in service. Now, for a 9mm they want 349.95. And they do have a bunch of Bob Hammer K-frame Model 10s and Model 65s and 66s, so check those out too. Anyways, AIM Surplus. We always talk about guns, it's Weapons Wednesday.

Just happened to be sitting there and I said, let's try this live thing again on YouTube. I only had like, I think typically there were six to eight viewers in that while I was broadcasting. But also advertised the show here right now. So maybe some people will be joining us for the first time. I'm literally on the tree radio. I'm learning about this program called The Didn't Ouch. Because I have a YouTube channel called ForbidTV. I did stuff with 2D's and then TV in real space. And I've got over 16,000 subscribers, so it's not too bad. For being a non monetized channel where YouTube hates me, I think I'm doing okay. And where they also de-rank me because I'm a debunker instead of a fear monger. That's kind of what happened to all of us that... They had half the views that I used to get last year for instance. Anyway, this weekend we're in DragonCon. Atlanta, Georgia, DragonCon, the world famous DragonCon, the biggest science fiction show in the universe, they say. Atlanta, Georgia, four day show starting on Friday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'll be setting up all day pretty much tomorrow, Thursday. And then it goes on all the way till Monday about the time a hurricane comes in here because we got a hurricane called... Something, adulthood or something. If we're in a hurricane coming this way and they kind of project right now, long term projection thinks they might hit the coast of the eastern seaboard of northern Florida and Georgia and maybe South Carolina later in the weekend. So we'll see. But hell, in Atlanta we're a couple hundred miles almost inland. So by the time it reaches here, if it reaches here, it doesn't change the path. It'll just be a rainstorm, wind and... I hope you do well at DragonCon, Craig. I bought a couple and some of your chocolate drink. Spock's blood or something. Oh that wouldn't go. But no, they don't really care. I guess it'd have to be green, right? Spock has green blood and the chocolate drink is brown so it'd have to be some other form of alien. You could find something else to call it for Dragon Con, I'm sure. Yeah, probably could. It's the word Spock even, but it's probably a trade name and I'd get to report. But, well, it's Dragon Con. Strange to see, and I think it's seen two or three people there in the past, you see a Dragoncon. It's very unrelated to your on British Free Radio, and it's kind of surprising. It also costs like more than a hundred tickets a year, a weekend. You can buy one day past the suit for less, but you want the weekend to buy an advance, and then like, $140, $160, it's a damn place. So it's a pretty crazy place as far as the price goes. For surprisingly, it's the Liberty Tree Radio viewers, listeners there, rather. And YouTube, well, YouTube, not much, but I see people from YouTube there as well. I was going to livestream on YouTube this year, walking through some of the hotels at night, the lobbies. When I say hotel lobby, I'm not talking about your typical hotel lobby that you'd see. We're talking about the Marriott, the Hilton, and where there's like 3 or 4 levels of lobbies, like 10,000 square feet on each level. And so... Oh yeah, they're huge. Yeah, so when I say lobby of a hotel, a lot of people get them misunderstanding. So I wanted to make a YouTube video, a live stream, where basically, you've got this little mini tripod that can be folded up, and basically I could just have a phone... Above we have above my head maybe up to four or five feet above my head and just walking around hanging on to the tripod pulled it up You know this looks like a pole and I can live stream from my cell phone on YouTube So people can see what it's like because it's what it's pretty amazing if you've never been to one of these types of shows especially these bigger ones It's pretty amazing you walk around there for hours, and you'll see thousands of costumes people dressed in costume Well unfortunately I did a lot of research on this today after live streaming here right now. I'm broadcasting from Tucker Georgia, which is a suburb of Atlanta, basically, to the east, and about 10 miles away from the center of Atlanta. And I did a live broadcast just to try it out again, and it wasn't very popular. But of course, people weren't working everything, so I didn't expect much anyway. I just tried to try it out, and I thought about live streaming off my phone, which I've never done. So I went to work and started doing some research and trying it out. But unfortunately what it appears to be the reason I can't because you can do that I have enough subscribers at first They said you had to have over 10,000 subscribers, which I do And I guess maybe they lowered it to a thousand. I don't know what it is now doesn't matter I've already qualified for the higher level anyway, but unfortunately It didn't work. I didn't have a button that everybody was showing I've watched these educational videos on YouTube and I didn't have the button I didn't have the same screens everybody else coming over there. It looks like my problem is I'm holding an older version of Android. It had at least version 5.5 or whatever. I have no idea what version I'm at. But I'm probably way below that. And the button just didn't show up that I needed to do that. Not in part way, but no, the right button wasn't there. And so I won't be able to do that at least this year. They're trying to force me to buy a new phone, and probably by the end of the year I'll have to. I'm still working with a Samsung Galaxy 3. I know what you mean Craig, I've still got an iPhone 4. Yeah, and so they don't like me and in fact, by the end of the year from where I understand it. They are no longer going to be supporting 3G because I mean they are going to start pushing 5G now. They want everybody on 4G and they are going to get rid of the 3G networks. At least that is my understanding of it. So by the end of the year I won't be able to do much with my phone and so I am going to have to get a new phone if I am going to be able to do some of the things I want to do. And so I am going to have to get a new phone by the end of the year, it sounds like, which is unfortunately because my phone, I have been taking care of it. Other than the plug, will it plug in for... the power, the charge, which is very loose. I only have one cable. I got about 10 different cables and none of them work, but one of them still works. It's really weird. But other than that, you could change that port. You could have it changed, you could do it yourself if you're good at it, but I'm not good at it. And you could actually have it changed, and so it's like new again, but unfortunately it's going to cost some money, and you have to have a new phone sooner anyway. More than likely, they're forcing me to buy a new phone to get their newest 4G technology. Well, actually the newest is 5G, but nobody really has 5G yet, and nobody's really going to have 5G, except in certain areas for a while. It's going to be quite a while until 5G becomes very universal. And so I don't want 5G, 4G, 3G's fine. But anyway, they're going to be 4-speed. But anyway, so I can't do that. Maybe next year I'll be able to live stream like that with YouTube. Speaking of YouTube, I put up at least two more videos. Recorded a third today and a fourth tomorrow. What I put up is... For those of you who want to go to my channel or maybe those of you already here from the channel because you because I did I posted one today The one that I did the live stream on it's called checking who is out there on a Wednesday afternoon I got a hundred views on it as of this moment and But at the time it was only like 10 to 20 views quite on my shifts But now it's up to 100 views and I'll probably just disable that. So if you want to see that, you're going to have to see it probably before tomorrow because I'm probably just going to hide it. It's not really worth watching. It's just trying it out. If you want to watch it though, it's on forbidTV, forbidTV, no space TV. I'll probably be removing that. It's not that interesting. I don't really like to have a lot of filler on my channel that's not very interesting. It's just a live stream. I didn't have any time. I was hoping some trolls came along. some fuku trolls fuku trolls as I call them no no no, I love them did because I'd love to get in the debate with these people I'd love to get in the debate with even Mi-at-mi-chach what is the guy's name for them? world-renowned physicist Mikachu Kaku or something like that Michio Kaku because he lies about Fukushima as well at least he did in the early days when all the dairy bodies using his interviews he's saying just outlandishly stupid things But yet he's said it and people are just quoting him. Well, he's one of the most brilliant people on earth. Maybe he has and I couldn't get into debates with him on theoretical physics. But about Fukushima, I'd definitely love to get into debate with him because he's filled a lot of stupid things that are all over the Internet. Love to get into an interview or debate with Helen Caldecott or Kevin Blanche or I have public challenges for these people. Dana Dernford. Anybody else who continues with the Fukushima lie? Okay, so I also posted two other videos this week, since I've been on the road. I recorded another today and another tomorrow. Those aren't on yet. The one I posted yesterday, I recorded two on Monday. I posted one on Monday right then and I posted one on Tuesday. The one I posted on Monday is called, Duke Tube Creator Studio Classic versus Beta Fail. It's about YouTube. What I've had to do is I've had to put all comments to hold for review. So anytime anybody comments on my channel, it doesn't show up immediately. It goes into my, an inbox where I have to go onto my account, sign in, and then approve them from there. You see what happens is they're forcing people to begin on this new thing called YouTube Studio Creator Beta, and it sucks. It becomes unmanageable. I cannot use the comment section anymore because what happens with me, people hate me so much that I get these trolls who come on and they'll leave a dozen comments at a time. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, I'm all over my channel. Now I can easily find them in the old classic because I can just enter their name in a search engine in the comment section and I can find all their stupid comments and then comment to each one. I let people post. But if you're gonna come on my channel and lie and be stupid, I'm gonna debunk you. And so, that's what I always have done. Now I can't do that anymore in the classics. So they've been trying to force me, and I've been avoiding it for years, actually, last two years, I've been avoiding it. I haven't had to use it because I've been using something called tamper monkey and other polymers to try to get around this stupid crap they're trying to shove down my throat. But now apparently they're forcing everybody in. So now, okay, well, you want to do that way? All comments are basically going to, uh... Review. Dad, you keep messing with it. I'll delete comments completely on my entire channel. I won't have people coming on my channel and spreading their poison with all their lies about Fubishima or whatever. Slatter, Nibiru, whatever topic you want to pick, I'm not going to have people coming on my channel and spreading lies. My channel is about the truth. And so I won't reload. That's the last way of how to do it. So now, unfortunately, and I can't do this from my phone. I could always comment before on my phone. Now I can't. Now I have to go online on a computer somewhere, get on a wifi, or log in somehow. I can't do it on my phone. Maybe when I get version G4 or whatever, maybe I can do it on my phone. I don't know. I don't think so. But anyway, because I got the YouTube app on my phone and I can't do it on my phone. So anyway, I did a video about that showing how stupid it was. And how, okay, well that's the way you want it. That's the way it's going to be then. So I'll probably get your X more for that. Then they ask, well why don't you want to, every time you try to, because you can manually go in and push, YouTube's studio beta takes like 10 times longer to load. They're sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting for the damn thing to come up. My computer even says, it says something is slowing down your computer program, do you want to stop it? I mean I'm sitting there waiting forever for low to damn page. Take an update and it basically just allows them to throw commercials at me when I'm trying to do other things. That's basically what the YouTube beta is about, apparently, the YouTube studio beta. And the classic was okay. YouTube has problems anyway. But Google doesn't care. Google just does what it does, doesn't care about the consequences, doesn't care who it pisses off because they have no competitors. Yeah, there's other video streaming sites, but none of them are anywhere near the level of YouTube. If they're lost, I'd be bailing and jumping ship now. But there's nothing even anywhere tiny bit comparable. There just really isn't. There's lots of them out there, dozens of them. But none of them have risen to the point where there'd be any cat competition to YouTube and Google. And that's no shame. It's like eBay needs a big kick in the butt. And no, there's no competition hardly for there either. So we have to deal with this stuff until hopefully one comes up and steps to the plate and starts teaching YouTube lessons. But meantime, that's what I've had to do. So anyway, there's a video up about that. It wasn't very popular, 132 views in the last two days. But also, yesterday I posted this might be of interest to people, because I did talk about this last week on the show, it's been a little bit of new information, not much. It's called Russian Experimental Reactor Drive Missile Radiation Accident versus Fukushima. Yes, I did a video, showed some footage also in the video of the explosion, and have the video now about the Northwest Russia secrets. a cruise missile that's basically a nuclear drive. It wasn't a nuclear warhead, probably didn't have any warhead. It was a nuclear drive missile that they were experimenting with that exploded. Something happened. Killed five people apparently right away due to trauma. And but now they're saying that two had died from acute radiation syndrome. So if that's true, I found a lot of reports that said that, doesn't mean it's true, but I did find it on Fox News, and that could definitely not be true, it was on Fox News, and also the Washington Post, and there's others reporting that. Doesn't mean it's true, I proved that before, where some of these major outlets jump on these fake stories. But this one, I don't believe, would have been Russian trolls, like the other one that I proved to be false, of the first Lukashenko death. Nobody has died from Fukushima radiation. So what that means is, this Russian nuclear missile accident, or rather this nuclear drive missile accident, is now worse than Fukushima. Because we have two deaths. That's going to drive the Fukushima fearmongers. That's crazy. Because now it's worse than, it's right under Chernobyl. Because there's no deaths on Green Mile Island, no deaths at Fukushima. But there was about almost 50 deaths. from acute radiation syndrome from Chernobyl. And now we've had, probably had two deaths, maybe had two deaths, from this missile accident. So that's officially now worse than Fukushima, at least in the realm of deaths. So I stabbed at those people on the Fukushima fear mongers. We cleared both of those the same day. And that's posted now. That's got almost 300 views as of this moment. So that was a little more interesting to people apparently. More people were searching that out I guess. I still have made the comments available. I just have to think it's just going to take a while for me to prove them. Because I have to get to a computer. That's all I have. They might sometimes might, right now because I'm off, I can get to it usually within hours. But the future is going to be a day or two sometimes so I can get to all the comments and approve them. So that's why you too, Bunchit. Also today I recorded two more, well I recorded one this morning and I'm recording another one tomorrow morning, right before I set up the Dragon Garden. I am in Tucker, Georgia. Hopefully these windows being open isn't going to, it's hot here, it's like 88 in Georgia, where I'm at in Georgia right now. Got the windows open, I'm in a parking lot, and I found a shady spot. So unfortunately you're going to hear car alarms or whatever people talking. I got the windows open. I got a tiny breeze coming here. I need it because it's going to be way overheated by the windows closing. So anyway, today I was in Tucker, Georgia, suburb of Atlanta. In Tucker, Georgia, I spent the night here and I had the Geiger counter on all night. Headed on for 11 hours actually. And in 11 hours, I got 34 counts per minute average over the entire 11 hour period. 34 counts per minute. What does that mean? It just means that's the background radiation level here in Tucker, Georgia. Well, why Tucker, Georgia? Well, because if you go to the Net-C site, Net-C is a four-letter acronym standing for Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center. And the website is netc.com. Net-C, Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center is not a government agency. They're trying to prevent, they're trying to pretend they are. They're trying to make it just an anti-nuke site. They're trying to make it look like they're a government site, but it's really an anti-nuke site. And people rely on this website to show how bad it is in Fukushima, because it'll show, Atlanta's been showing like an average of 200, 250 or 300 counts per minute average right now. Go to the NetSea site. I could go to the NetSea site and tell you what it is so I don't have to guess. Let's see if I can do this, I'm still online here. NetSea.com. And let's just see what it is. And I'll give you an example of what I found. No, it didn't do what I wanted to do. NetSee, come on. Nuclear Emergency Tracking System. Well, I might have said national, didn't I? Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center. Sorry. I got it wrong then. Okay, I have found the NetSee site. I am on live. And I'm going to zoom in. You can do this through netsee.com. Again, it looks kind of like a government site, but no it's not. I'm scrolling to Atlanta area and I'm zooming in more and more and more until I get it on the screen where I can deal with it. And I've done this on the video. The video won't be released until later, but now I am at, if most of my computer is going to crash on me, let's just see what we got here. Okay, I have to wait for the page to load. Let's see here we go. We're in Georgia. Right now the average is 292 counts per minute. Average? 292 counts per minute. Uh oh, wait a minute. You're in Tucker, Georgia, 10 miles away. The average here is 18 counts per minute. What? What's going on there? Well, here's why I'm doing the video. And I've done that. I've proven that to be a lying website. I think this is like the seventh or eighth time that I've done this in various cities around the country. Because you can look up at your city or nearby your city and see what the radiation is, why, the sensor why. But here is the part about NESSI, which is the big lie. Okay, first of all, 18. If you don't know what that means, counts per minute. Counts per minute is the amount of little particles that hit the sensor and it registers as a count and they count how many of those counts. 18 goes counts per minute. Which is normal. 12 counts from it is really low, it doesn't get much lower than that. 25 counts from it is pretty normal. 50 counts from it, it happens sometimes once in a while with no real reason, just keep an eye on it. And actually, if you go to places in Colorado, for instance, it's pretty much there already all the time. I believe, let me see what the last time I was in Colorado. Background radiation levels. Yeah. 50 to 60 is normal in Colorado. And that's because of altitude, cosmic rays. You get more cosmic radiation and it will register more on a Geiger counter with the higher altitude you go into. Now here in Georgia we're not, we're only at about 900 feet elevation in this part of that Georgia. There are some mountainous areas in Georgia, but not very big mountains. But if I go up to Pike's Peak, I'm actually going to get over 100. I'm going to get like 110 constiments. The tight speak is in Colorado. It's like three times the altitude almost of the nearby city of Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs is getting 16. The tight speak, I'm getting 31. It goes only a few miles away. It's like more than a mile higher. Okay? So the levels of, let me go back to now, let's see, okay, let me go back to these ratios. If you're at 100, Most sites will say that's an alert level. A hundred is an alert. No need to panic, but try to figure out what is going on. Stay out of the rain, avoid unnecessary trips. And a hundred, that's what most sites are saying. And a hundred and fifty, or even various sites on the internet, you're going to say, real risk of cancer have exposed for a year. And then, if it's up to 500, real risk of cancer have exposed for 90 days. 500 counts per minute. Okay, so now back to the Net-Sea site. Net-Sea site again right now here in Tucker, Georgia, this is showing on their live website right now, 18 counts per minute average. And I showed on the video this morning that I recorded this morning, but yes indeed it is about 18 counts per minute average right here in Tucker, Georgia. So this site is actually correct. About 10 miles away in Atlanta proper is showing an average of 292, which would place away over the alert level according to various websites you talk about when detecting radiation. Why is it 292 only 5 miles away or 10 miles away, whatever it is? It's not very far. Well, it's not. You see, that's one of the big whys. What actually is happening here, and I'm going to have to try to find a good way to explain this, I have two bins in my van with me. Let's say one bin is big enough. What kind of plastic bin you slide under your bed? Okay, you know maybe two foot by three foot or two foot by two foot or 18 inches by two foot whatever a plastic bin you would slide under your bed All right, you have one of those plastic bins and I have a a little Tupperware bin that I might put in the refrigerator for leftovers Okay, I have those two bins now if I put those bins on the ground and it starts raining here I don't register so many drops per minute in each bin And the bigger bin will have a lot more drops in a minute, right, because it's a lot more surface area. Very logical, right? Well, the same thing's happening with a radiation detector. Your Geiger counter that you might own, typical consumer grade Geiger counters have a pretty small sensor. It's called a Geiger Miller tube. And only so many... particles can hit that tube in a minute's time. In this case, in Tucker, Georgia, about 200, I'm sorry, about 18 of them per minute. Now, the ones that they're showing here, they have 292, are that much larger tub and much larger sensor, and more particles are gonna hit it. In this case, 292 average per minute. Now, the fear mongers like to use this because... Wow, look! Look how bad it is! This has got to be Fukushima! It's at an alert level, and all the time! We need to evacuate Atlanta, and Memphis, and Indianapolis, and Detroit, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Columbus, Ohio. These are all places I've tested to show that NESC is a lie. Because tomorrow, I'm going to be in Atlanta, spending the night in Atlanta tonight. I'm going to leave the guard down there all night. And in the morning, It's not going to read anywhere near 292. It's going to be reading more like 18. You see, the site reporting site, most of the reporting sites on this NetSee website are actually from an APA RadNet website with a different type of sensor, much more professional, much larger. Essentially, that's what's going on here. They have bigger tubs in the rain, so to speak. Use that analogy. So you can't use NetSee for any kind of proof of elevated means from Fukushima. But on the same site, about one-fourth of them, maybe one-sixth of them, are these lower level sites which are actually private recorders that have their personal Geigerkahn-Soltel site. This show a whole different story. But no, they want to go to the ones with the major cities, such as Atlanta or Los Angeles or whatever. and show those extremely high readings and show how bad it is. In fact, if you scroll down on an Etsy page, what you'll find is they're showing their anti-nuke bias and their credulity, actually. A few paragraphs down, they basically say, war is for the children of the Earth about radiation, blah, blah, blah. Oh, wait a minute. Why, and then this supposedly they're pretending to be a government website? They say, let's see. And agree with the source work. Be careful about the knowledge we receive about radiation and the effects on our planet. My heart is heavy with sorrow for my children and the next generation that must deal with our failures. That screens bias. Right off the bat. Right on the website. Then the next sentence is, warning from the Bible. As for you, Daniel Royal Despoitos goes into some Bible passages. Daniel 12.4 and Ecclesiastes 1.18. So we got bias and credulity, word into one on this website. You cannot use NetSeats for any type of radiation readings. If you do use it and you've just been informed of this, you don't realize until now, then you are spreading lies intentionally. Because before you were ignorant, now you aren't. Don't believe me? Take a Geiger counter to these areas and see what you find. I did it. I do. I confirm what I see. Tomorrow night, I'm making a prediction that in the morning, I'm going to read around 18 cows per minute in Atlanta, Georgia. Down, down. Where NetC says it's supposed to be 292. Generally, these sites use the EPA RadNet sites with more professional equipment. They're going to read about 10 times. That's what I've been finding. I found that in Memphis, I found that in Detroit, I found that in Indianapolis. I'm trying to think of some of the other stations. Aurora, Illinois. I've done a lot of them. This will be about 7th or 8th when I've done it. And I've made YouTube videos of each, so you can find those on YouTube. Some of them aren't on my main channel, some of them are on my radiation debunking channel. But I do have a playlist on my main channel, if you don't know my other channel, that will have all of them on there. They're just not visible except until you go to the playlist. I don't need a whole bunch of extra videos of that. A lot of people don't care. It's all one topic where I'm testing and debunking the Net-Sea site. I love debunking the Net-Sea site. So I do it when I can. I probably could have done dozens and dozens more over the years, but they're all showing the same thing. It's basically the same video where I sit there in the van and, okay, here, the geiger's been on 11 hours. Here's what it's reading. Here's an average. And here's the Net-Sea site. Gee, what's wrong with this picture? And by the way, if you caught it earlier, I had mentioned I read 34 average after 11 hours. That was with a different geiger. Every time I do these videos, I have two Geiger colors. One with a standard Geiger-Muller probe, a consumer grade one. Then I have a more professional model with a pancake probe. Now a pancake probe is larger. It's going to affect more radiation off the bat. Generally almost twice as much and it aired out this very very three things we've read eight We read 18 with a consumer grade one and 34 with the one with the with the pancake probe pancake world could also detect alpha and Here in Georgia when I do readings in Georgia this part of Georgia paddle faster. I hear banjos Yeah, that's it was filled here that movie if you know what I'm talking about the I'm always reading higher readings here, probably about 40% more than the rest of the country, based on altitude. But because there's a higher level of alpha radiation in the form of radon in this area, I'm usually reading a little bit higher than most of the rest of the country. It's not dangerous. It's normal. I have no problem living here based on radiation. But it is a little higher. I have found that throughout my years of taking radiation meters. So anyway, NetSeam site you cannot use. Okay, in that video, I've already done the part portion with Tucker, Georgia, where I got 18 constrainments. And the next part will be done in the morning, right before, hopefully early in the morning, right before I load in the DragonCon, probably do it around seven in the morning. I'll be spinning in downtown, but I proved where I am. I show a road sign or something or a location all the time to prove where I am because the trolls will always want to try to fight you on that if you don't do that and you got to do it in one take otherwise the trolls have a field day. Really sure they did. So I always have to do it live in one take showing where I am. It'll be easy in downtown Atlanta. So anyway, we'll sit in a park and wipe the camera off. 50 story hotel there, dude. You can't be in Kansas, dude. Anyway, I'll do that video in the morning and then I'm going to combine the two in the one video. So although I recorded the part in Tucker, it won't be posted until I get the other part recorded and edited and loaded. And hopefully that can be done tomorrow, but I'll be really busy tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be able to do all together. Thanks. That video will be posted sometime in the future to show that NetSee lies. Or is very much a deceiver, let's put it that way. An anti-nuke site, pretending to be a government website, is pretty pathetic. in my opinion, especially when you're just Fukushima fear-mongering for money. Because if you want to subscribe to this site, you have a way to subscribe. You know, you could have a year of service to receive RAMS and access to charts and historical data for 1995 per year. So you could become a chart member. Or you could become a RAM member for $10 per year. So yeah, they're hunting for business. So if you really want to be a big liar, you can even pay the money. And then spread the false information you got from that site. There's lots of other sites that have good readings. Lots of other sites in Atlanta that have good readings. You don't have to use NetSeam. In fact, you can't use NetSeam. Get over it. Next topic. When somebody wants to call in. Get on those ramps. So yeah, I would read over 100 pounds per minute. I have read over 100 pounds per minute like speed. That's a 4,100 feet. 14,100 feet. That's almost three times the altitude of near Colorado Springs. And yeah, it's like twice the amount of radiation. Cosmic rays. Same thing when you get in an airplane. Get in an airplane, high altitude flight. You're going to be reading over 100 pounds per minute all the time in the air. In fact, you're going to be reading, I'm trying to think of what the right reading, you're actually going to read, I think it's more like 100, I'm trying to remember it. I think it's going to be more like 1000 counts per minute actually. I don't use counts per minute very much. But certain people on websites have them on use counts per minute. So I have to, it's hard when you're dealing with retkins, counts per minute, sieverts, millisieverts, microsieverts, nanosevarts, microrentkins, millirentkins, grays, and the conversion factor is almost impossible to do in your head sometimes and it's a difficult thing. Alright, for the time remaining, I'm going to talk about a little bit here because this is something that came up today. A lot of people don't know about this. It's been probably a couple years since I've talked about it. Thorium. Thorium molten salt reactors. Nuclear energy. A lot of people confuse me for being pro-nuke. I'm not. I'm not pro-nuke. I'm not anti-nuke. But I have no problem with liars from either camp. and try to push their propaganda agenda. And the anti-nukes won out long time ago. Long time ago. In the 70s with videos with movies like China Syndrome or the day after that was in the 80s or all those other films that came out pushing an anti-nuke agenda. They worn out nuclear energy has been stifled since the 70s because it swayed public opinion Anytime you were used the word radiation It's like a dog whistle for ignorance People get scared that because they don't understand it. So the nuclear anti-nukers took advantage of that and pushed you way over to the edge to being anti-nuke yourself many of you Because you don't understand it you believe the crap they were supposed to be doing up Because radiation is a bad word to you. Even though you're radioactive, your tree is outside radioactive, the parking lot is radioactive. Everything on Earth has a radioactive signature of some sort. In fact, life on Earth would even exist without radiation. The Earth is basically inside a nuclear furnace, the sun is a nuclear furnace. So no, life on Earth would not exist without radiation. So anyway, the thorium reactors. Let's go back to World War II. Uranium-based nuclear reactors were built to produce electricity. These were similar to reactor designs that produced materials for nuclear weapons. During that period, the government of the United States also built an experimental molten salt reactor using U-233 fuel, the fissile material created by bombarding thorium with neutrons. This reactor, the MSRE reactor, built an Oak Ridge National Laboratory where they developed atomic bomb. operated for roughly 15,000 hours from 1965 to 1969. Now in 1968, 50 years ago, there was a Thorium plant built and used more than 50 years ago. Nobel Laureate and discoverer of plutonium, Glenn Seaborg, publicly announced to the Atomic Energy Commission of which he was chairman that the Thorium-based reactor had been successfully developed and tested. In 1973, however, the US government settled on uranium technology and largely discontinued thorium-related nuclear research. The reasons were that uranium-fueled reactors were more efficient. The research was proven. And thorium's breeding ratio was thought insufficient to produce enough fuel to support development of commercial nuclear industry. The competition came down to a liquid metal fast breeder reactor on the uranium-plutonium cycle and the thermal reactor on the Thorium U-233 cycle, the molten-salt reactor, the breeder reactor actually won out, won the competition. In their opinion, the decision to stop development of Thorium reactors at least as a backup option was an inexcusable mistake. Senior science writer Richard Martin states that nuclear physicist Halpin Weinberg, who was the director at Oak Ridge and primarily responsible for the new reactor, lost his job as a reactor because he championed development of the safer thorium reactors. Weinberg realized that you could use thorium, an entirely new kind of reactor, one that would have zero risk of melt-downs, His team built a working reactor. He spent the rest of his 18-year tenure trying to make thorium the heart of the atomic power, the nation's atomic power effort. He failed. Uranium reactors had already been established. And the thorium uranium reactors were able to make uranium-powered nuclear plants to make bombs. Weinberg was finally forced out in 1973. Now despite the documented history of thorium, nuclear power, many of today's nuclear experts were nonetheless unaware of it. According to chemical engineering news, most people including scientists have hardly heard of the heavy metal element and know very little about it. Noting a comment by a conference attendee that quote, It's possible to have a PhD in nuclear reactor technology and not know about thorium energy." Nuclear physicist Victor J. Steininger, for one, first learned of it, as of in 2012. It came as a surprise recently that such alternatives have been available to us since World War II, but not pursued because it lacked weapons applications. That's right. Now India is building such plants right now. They had a plan for a huge amount of them, but now they've reduced it greatly any time a new political office. It becomes a political hot potato because of the bad rap nuclear's got. Now, others, including former NASA scientist and thorium expert, Kurt Sorensen, agreed that, quote, thorium was the alternative path that was not taken, end of quote. According to Sorensen, during a documentary interview, he states that if the US had not discontinued its research in 1994, it could have probably achieved energy independence by around 2000. See, our nuclear power plants today suck. They are dangerous. Although, frankly, it's still the safest form of energy. That's right. All the electricity methods we have, nuclear energy kills less people than all the others. Way less than coal and other fossil fuels. Less than hydro. Less than hydroelectric less than We end less than solar So it's still the safest But it still sucks because it could be safer could be better could have been if it wasn't for the anti nukes They've won out the propaganda campaign It totally put way to the American people and the people in the world To keep us from developing this much better nuclear technology next generation of nuclear was stagnated 50 years ago never got off the ground developed Understood but dead in its tracks because of anti-nuclear ignorant people. Well, they're actually not ignorant. Well, they probably are ignorant for in rackers, but they did it intentionally to demonize nuclear because the nuclear is evil Don't you know still the best we have in fact? It's also the most environmental friendly we have Compared to all the others as well now when the solar come close, so I'm not trying to totally Put down when it's over however when it's or have waste also much more waste actually than Nuclear plants and they also have Carbon emissions, but of course nuclear power plants do with the construction mainly concrete's an amazing thing, but it's also very energy intensive So this plus is in minuses for all of them, but nuclear is our best choice. Sorry, but the choice we have today sucks We need to go to thorium based plants. If I have time I'll go through some of the advantages of this manage I will go through them partly. Part of this came up out because of Bernie Sanders. That's why Bernie Sanders last week announced his new energy policy. Bernie Sanders will lead the world in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels, create millions of jobs, and create less polluting society as something which we have no choice. Bernie is committed to transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels by enacting climate neutral energy policies. It believes we should keep fossil fuels in the ground and instead use renewable energy and sustainable energy while improving energy efficiency and in the process thousands of good paying jobs will be created. The workers most affected by this transition to clean energy will see large investments in job retaining, job creation and environmental cleanup in their efforts and other communities. According to Bernie, the US must transform its energy system away from fossil fuels such as oil, gas, coal, and more aggressive towards energy efficient, sustainable, clean, and renewable energy solutions such as wind, solar, and geothermal. And here's the catch. Bernie says, we must stop building nuclear power plants. OK, I agree with that, with the current technology, with the old hat technology. Let me go back. He says we must stop building nuclear power plants and find a real solution to our existing nuclear waste from we have it So I love to get in a debate with Bernie Sanders on this We don't need to stop building new nuclear power plants. We need to start building the right type of nuclear power plants thorium molten salt reactors Exceedingly safer. I'll go through the advantage of this man here a second He also wants to end fossil fuel subsidies We must end corporate welfare, 40 and slip warfare. We must end corporate welfare for fossil fuel companies and save taxpayers over 135 billion over 10 years. Okay, wait a minute, you're going to have subsidies on solar and wind to make those great planet years, these great big socialist planet years, aren't you? Bernie? He wants to keep fossil fuels in the ground, need affordable renewable energy, blah blah blah green jobs, blah blah blah blah blah. Bernie says he must stop building nuclear power plants and find the real solution to our existing useful waste problem. He believes that wind, solar, geothermal, and energy efficiency are more prospective than nuclear plants, they aren't, and that the toxic waste products of nuclear plants are not worth the risk of the technology benefit. You can use those spent fuels as fuel-inporium plants. All our existing spent fuel and nuclear waste, well, the nuclear spent fuel, nuclear waste can be a different thing. A pair of disposed gloves could be considered nuclear waste or nuclear toxic radioactive waste. So it depends on what you're talking about there. Anyway. Ever the financial watchdog, Bernie has also questioned why the federal government invests billions into federal subsidies for nuclear energy. Bernie is especially concerned about that because nuclear power companies are exploiting loopholes in green power incentives. Why are they exploiting loopholes? They are green. They have no carbon emissions. So they're exploiting loopholes to expand their billion dollar industry. The recent push to increase the production of nuclear energy follows the heavy investment by billionaires on the nuclear industry. In 2019, Bernie voiced his opposition to storing nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain calling it a disaster. Don't take it to Yucca Mountain. Take it to the sorium plants. In fact, India, after they build their first plants, might actually start buying up our nuclear waste to use as fuel in their plants. That's right. If India already has a nuclear bomb, maybe we'll be able to actually sell them on nuclear waste. And they will be developing, generating much cleaner energy for much lower costs and much safer. That's right, because here's the advantages and disadvantages, and one of the really quick advantages and disadvantages, because there are disadvantages, for thorium reactors. Pros and cons. A thorium reactor is a form of nuclear energy proposed to the use of molten salt reactor. It's fueled by the uranium-233 isotope that is taken from the element thorium. Thorium is a weekly radioactive, I have thorium at my table. I have two samples of thorium, at least two samples of thorium, with me right now in the van. One from a Coleman lantern mantle from the 60s. Another one, a thoriated welding rods. And they're radioactive. You can buy those right now in the store. Well, the thoriated welding rods, you can buy in a welding supply house. Coleman lanterns today are not like that unless you buy fine ones from China or whatever. You can find them at Antietas or maybe. Anyway, thorium is weakly radioactive, has a high melting point and is available with more abundance than uranium as an element. The source discovered in 1829, the primary advantage of a thorium reactor is it is extremely friendly to the environment. When operating it produces zero greenhouse gas emissions. There is minimal pollution, despite the slightly radioactive nature of the element and its unstable nature. As for the primary disadvantage of the thorium reactor, the toxic and radioactive elements must be properly handled to create the zero pollution footprint. It creates a molten salt mixture that is highly corrosive. The materials used in the process, these materials must be able to withstand the harshness of this molten salt. So let's go over the main points. There's actually 10 advantages and 6 disadvantages. And I'm going to have to do this very quickly and I might continue this next week with more detail. But number one, I'm a pro. It eliminates the threat of nuclear weapons. Yeah, that's right. Although Iran, are you listening to me? Develops a multi-sodium reactor, a story of reactors. Can't be used for nuclear weapons. If Donald Trump and Israel still want to bomb you over that, you got a big reason to go to war. if they bomb your thorium plants. So, anyway, although a standard thorium reactor is fueled with uranium-233 isotope, there is no need for uranium enrichment with this technology. That means the malicious step to modify energy fuel into a nuclear weapon goes away. with this technology. There would be fewer comparisons with these facilities operational with about which the leader has a bigger button to push. When irradiated, thorium produces uranium-232 initially and that disrupts the reaction process for current nuclear weapons technology. I'm going to have to skip all the details about this. I'm just going to have to go through each. So basically, number one, eliminates the threat of nuclear weapons. Number two. It comes from a plentiful supply, much more plentiful, three times more available than uranium. Okay? Number three, there's a technology that could be mass produced. Number four, it eliminates the threat of nuclear waste. That's right. One of the unique benefits of throwing reactors, it can be mixed with current nuclear waste that are produced. This means the waste produced that are currently in storage could be used again as a power source, make it less radioactive even more. to the point where you can store it in your basement. To be honest with you. Anyway. Number five. It produces high levels of energy. Number six. These are all advantages. It eliminates the safety concerns of traditional nuclear power. You have to remember that reactors have a unique ability to self-regulate their temperature levels. Should the reactor overheat for some reason then the reaction that is generated begins to slow down on its own same time Throwing reactors operate as standard atmospheric pressures when they need to have a pressurized water that reduces the risk of steam-based incidents Fuel from open-solve reactors already in liquid form as well. So the threat of a meltdown emergency is limited. Yeah, the fuel is Actually in liquid form. So what happens is that the cooling? Circuit has a heat plug in it where I couldn't tell you what it's made of. Let's just call it wax, okay? One of the pipes has a big wax plug in it. If it gets too hot, it melts that wax plug and all your fuel just drains down and it will self-control. Anyway, number seven. It offers the potential to reduce war and eliminate poverty. Reduce war because it can't be used for making nuclear bombs. Number eight. Storage cost for spent fuel would be reduced. Spent fuel is much less radioactive, much easier to restore. Really just put it back in the ground anywhere, but okay, you still have the new antenna, you know, extremely about that. Number nine, it is highly efficient technology compared to fossil fuel power generation. We estimated that one ton of this element can produce as much energy as an estimated 200 tons of uranium. Yet when thorium is compared to coal-fired power plants the difference is much greater. One ton of thorium can create the same amount of energy as 3.5 million tons of coal. Number 10. Thorium is safer to mine. Safer than your name, safer than coal. Here's some mechanics. I want to get to these in the afternoon minutes. There's no current infrastructure to support thorium use. Nobody's doing it. Number two, the startup process could be lengthy and costly. Yeah, because anti-nukes again. Nobody understands about it. But yeah, it's going to cost a lot to build these plants. Number three, not every thorium design is self-sustaining. Number four, the physical material created by your thorium reactor provide different dangers. A standard thorium reactor would use irradiated thorium to produce energy. When thorium is irradiated, it creates uranium-232, which material produces high levels of dangerous gamma rays, even if certain nuclear threats are eliminated. If molten salts are not used and uranium-233 is preferred, then the fuel can be used in nuclear weapons, which eliminates the purpose of transforming this technology for many in the first place. Number five, it costs more. Yeah, thorium reactors have higher costs and fuel fabrication compared to traditional nuclear technology. Standard fuel rods may have storage challenges and costs that must be met with the current technology. Still cheaper to generate power on fuel rods than it is to provide molten salts or irradiate thorium for energy production. Number six, the last disadvantage of thorium reactors. Research in the thorium energy is politically restricted. Although thorium research has occurred in Germany, Denmark, the US and other locations, only India and China are actively pursuing this technology with an intent to utilize it in the near future. India, for example, forecasts that they can produce up to 30% of their protected power needs with the implementation of thorium reactor technologies by 2050. And now India has reduced that. People in power have said, eh, well, no, let's just cut that back, cut some money off. Part of the reason for this is the traditional nuclear technologies are still functioning at a much cheaper rate. There is a risk of having zero payoff occur, like thorium reactors will create. These thorium reactors, public accounts, prove that there is a lot of potential for this technology. The countries with nuclear capabilities starting or reopening the research into various methods of fueling an thorium reactor may be somewhat costly, but could also be life changing to future generations. If the negatives of this technology can be appropriately managed, this type of reactor could be the future of power on planet Earth. Okay, I got through it. I might go in more detail with some other show, but... Somebody set up an interview with Bernie Sanders for me, please. Have him come on my show. We can promote his book or whatever to help promote his... Let's get into a debate about nuclear reactors. Yeah, our nuclear reactors today suck. We missed a generation. We're 50 years behind the curve. And this has become a political hot potato. We can talk about it. Here in Georgia, there's actually this one of the very few who are being built right now in this area. Don't remember when it goes online, but right near Atlanta there's a number.

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 free 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. Invist the land of the free and home 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, you've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be brought. 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 what 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 in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled 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, dill the land? Evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Hernke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're also on Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com in Memorial and we are on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon and evening to all our friends out there in the lower 49. along with the occupied UN zone, makes up the bottom of the country, and the line to states, the outline to territories, and of course the clock, 24 hours in the day. It is Weapons Wednesday, the 28th of August. It is the 11th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K, 2019, old earth calendar. 2019 year of deception, year of betrayal, and of course that's expected. Yeah, as a matter of fact, and it is weapons Wednesday. For everybody out there, a reminder again, vote with your wallet, buy more ammo. I've mentioned a couple companies. Ammoneman.com is a good choice also. Unamo.com. Shop around, find the best prices. If you are purchasing for the first time around, I recommend Ball Ammunition. I have mentioned this several times that again, in order for us to, as we've mentioned several times here again, do what you can with what you got, but do it quick because, well, the bad guys again, they just don't really care too much about anything other than going after the guns. Get the guns, get the guns, get the guns, and get the guns. Ball ammunition consistently, the advantage of it is it works in all of our weapons. We're looking at a medium velocity and medium average loading, you know, consistent loading system. Ball rounds will load when pretty much everything else, you know, doesn't. Or may not, depending upon what it is you're trying to use. Remember, not every weapon is equal. Glocks, of course, will be told, can, you know, digest a whole lot of good stuff, but they can't handle a whole lot of energy. Other weapons out there do far better with energy, but still require tuning in order for them to take any of the specialized rounds to any great degree. So while the unique rounds are useful, provided your weapon can handle them, can actually digest them, use them, function with them, a standard ball round is still pretty much your best choice. Remember, the Glocks were centered around a NATO standard ball 9mm originally. From that point they expand it out, but the bottom line is each one of them is based on the center line round in a ball pattern or again either FMJ or round nose, take your pick whatever you might want to call it, depending upon what the material is that the bullet is made, you know, bullet slash projectiles made up of. Not the whole case, just the bullet, the projectile, okay? After you've got your initial bulk purchase, you know for sure that that ammunition is working. You might want to try different flavors to see what works best with the weapon that you've made as your choice of personal arm or your unit's arm. Then you can start tweaking and adjusting your munitions inventory accordingly by adding other more unique rounds to the inventory and testing them. purchase some, test it, see if it's desirable, functional, does not require any special support, and then commit to that and go on to the next item, et cetera, et cetera. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat ad nauseam, as they say. I want to say thank you, by the way, real quick before we go any farther to DJ, DJC. for reposting Washington State man targeted by red flag laws. Thank you. We'll see how long it stays up. I hope you've all noticed if you went through the scroll that the other postings that I asked you guys that you did post, they're gone again. So it's like, okay, there's something askew with that, but that's the typical shenanigans going on with the bottom feeders that make up the tech industries now and the Leftists that are of course their minions the communists that are doing the job But again keep doing what you can especially since it's it does get more of the postings out in other directions other people have tapped on it because I get also remember you with Facebook you get the Information on who's been checking out what who's been you know? Visiting you know and made a comment or whatever or give it a you know plus sign, you know, take your big thumbs up so already it's working that other people have seen the posting that you guys reposted and has been reposted more than a few times and then pulled by Facebook so cool keep up the good work. Let's see, technology wise, well one of the other things you know we got into stripping enemy dead in the 2R block and something that I did want to remind you of is that if no matter what because somebody did ask, well what if you don't have transport? Well then you're going to have to figure out ways, you're going to have to figure out a way to make transport. One of the techniques, polling. If you're going in and you're in a strip unit, you're going to be taking from the enemy. The basic rule is everything that they've got, backpacks, web gear, all their equipment is going out. And ideally if you have the standard system with again garbage bags and the other tools of the trade that you need, Then you are going to have a lot of material to move. Well, poling is still your best choice. You pick a small sapling approximately two inches to three inches, 16 feet, 17 feet, 20 feet long, preferably with a girthiest trunk, straight pole trunk you can find. You can green, it'll be green wood. You cut it and then hack off any of the extraneous foliage, clean up the primary trunk to the best of your ability. And then you tie the bags we were talking about to those poles and you move those out of the area. Four, five, six, however many a man can handle, a man and another man can handle. Two men to each one of the poles. And the idea here is that you're able to infantry, you know, grunt the stuff out by infantry slash foot. And that is something that's been done in the past. It can be done by us. The Nung moved their entire population this way. At the end of the World War II, when the Communists were taking over China, the Nung left China. They walked out as a people. That's how they ended up in Southeast Asia. Okay? Now, when the Nung did that, two people were walking and carrying. One person was sleeping in the hammock slash the cargo bag along with all the gear and equipment and every eight hours one person would get out another person would get in lay down and they would rotate and rotate and rotate rotate that way and travel non-stop 24 hours they walked out of China didn't drive out of China didn't fly out of China they didn't have some BS refugee planes no they walked out of China most people don't realize that okay so just a little heads up it can be done Another thing is we mentioned is caching depending upon changes in the environment. Okay, battlefields, battlefield changes, battlefield scenario, you know, things are, the map out is altered, okay. Remember that you may not get a chance to actually do an enemy strip project simply because you're, like I said, 30, anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes expect a counter-attack. If you are engaging or are preparatory to engage, weapons and support equipment, empty magazines are shocked, real, filled, loaded magazines are stacked and racked, web gear is refilled wherever possible. You're prepping for the defense and for the counter strike against the counter attack, you know, counter counter strike. If that's the case, then weapons and equipment are not going into as far as, you know, pyrotechnics, magazines, loaded magazines, bandoliers, take what, take what, whatever it is. It's going to be stacked up as quick as possible. You're going to do a quick inventory of what you can accumulate from the enemy dead to keep up the fight. Whether or not it's copacetic with your equipment or you have to, again, carry what you have left of your technology with your rig and still accumulate material from the enemy dead to embrace the weapon system that they may be carrying, which may be totally different from everything you have. foreign troops are as likely as not to have one of the AK variants or to have any one of a number of rifles that you can't even own in the United States. That means that their mags, everything that goes with them, needs to be right there. I mentioned the PS-90. That weapon is out there in a number of hands. It is an orphan-type cartridge in the United States. Yes, it is sold, and obviously I mentioned where to go, UNMMO.com. But there's not a great supply of that ammunition in the inventory, not within the Patriot circles. It's a popular round, but not that popular. So acquiring the technology, if you needed additional weapons or you needed to trade out because your weapon is run dry, your primary rifle, and you needed another one, there's one of the many weapons where you'd have to retain the material and you couldn't withdraw it to the rear or recycle, reprocess it the way we're talking about it except an immediate presence, in other words immediate need. So there's an example of a variation where no, you wouldn't be going in stripping enemy dead if it looks like you're still in a firefighter, still in an exchange. That's simply not going to happen, not right away. However, if you are, if everything is stacked and racked and you got everything squared away because you really did understand what you needed to do, You're in preparatory mode to proceed with the next step in, you know, recovering material and equipment. And you don't sit there idle. Keep everybody going. Keep everything moving. Remember, prior prep and planning prevents piss poor performance. Have the ability to, again, protect the personnel that are going to be in the quay and right in the middle of, you know, the situation that are perhaps doing the stripping work, doing the recovery work as another contact is being made. It can be done. It's a matter of size of the strike group that you're facing, the counter force, and intention. Where are they headed? What are they doing? Are they serious? Or are they just simply trying to keep you off balance? That is one of the reasons for a counter attack in a very short period of time is hopefully to at least from consolidating your holdings where you've taken an objective. It may not be able to prevent you from occupying, but it can break up and interfere with the re-management and redeployment of the personnel that you have in order for you to secure what it is that you just won. something that needs to be constantly on your mind. Now there's also the argument, well, whatever plans you have, the moment the first bullet leaves a barrel, the world has changed and so are the plans. Well, to a degree, yes, but your objective, your overall objectives are typically not going to change unless there is a failure in intelligence and communications and you have a situation where you may have a greater superior force and you have decided you're not going to sustain or maintain contact, but you're going to break contact. You discover that by making contact. You realize that having evaluated the overall force strength, you're not going to be able to commit to the original action. You may not be able to commit to it at all. Well, the first rule is break contact, get out of the area of operation, and then inform and warn others who may not have been in the loop with the decision process you just made so that support and additional personnel are not wasted or diverted into a resource situation that is expensive. Cost us material, manpower, hours are expensive. Human hours. That's what wealth is all about, by the way. Anyway, the big thing here again is prior prepper planning prevents piss poor performance, know what your procedures are when you establish them. This is something you also need to practice. Stripping of enemy dead and mixed formations or ad hoc haphazard locations where you accumulate the enemy and destroy or decimate the enemy. Remember the basics we discussed during the two hour block about sabotage, about again, movie trapping, all the other things that can happen. There are a myriad of items. Number one on that note, if you're coming across the location where you're moving through an area and it has not been your point of contact but you have enemy dead, you may proceed with the assumption it could be an airstrike, it could be chemical, it could be nuclear, it could be conventional ordnance, artillery, whatever. We have it too. The fact of the matter is that you have to confirm the environment, the situation. And then you work it accordingly with additional protections if need be. Now most people when I hear that, it's like, whoa, Mark, I'm not going to, if it's got NBC, nuclear, biological, chemical all over it, we're not going to necessarily use it. Well, that's not true. Munitions especially can be processed back through, can be cleaned up, sterilized without chemical processes that are going to disrupt or damage anything. or physical processes that will not damage or distort anything and the munitions can probably be recovered along with many other basic component items. More sophisticated or intricate organic types? No, they will not probably be in the mix. But there's a lot that can be done and there's a lot of things that we need to remember in the process while we're making contact or doing what we're doing. First of all, again, We're trying not in an environment like this to exacerbate contact where we don't have control over it. That's another thing we need to remember. We're not in the process of touchy-feely or any kind of dancing if we can help it. The idea is to set upon an objective, come up with a clear intent. The mission statement is straightforward. Accomplish the task slash the mission statement. proceed to extract yourself out and either we hold back to original positions or original deployment locations or redeploy based upon a new plan where again your intelligence may have changed and altered dramatically the battlefield. Okay? Something to think about there. Anyway, a couple other things. NBC, we've mentioned that and for you new people out there listening, get a gas mask, get a gas mask, get a gas mask. Oh, by the way, get a gas mask. and www.mainmilitary.com is one place to go mainmilitary.com. Needless to say, another one, Bud K. Now, Bud K is kind of interesting and I have to keep checking them because they have changed their page. Something is going on with Bud K. So, you might want to kind of keep an eyeball out in that direction to see what's happening. Again, let's do it this way. We're going to go to, come on, it's trying. It'll work. Anyway, of course it's going to hiccup when I go over to do it during the program, of course. Gas mask is what we want to punch in there for a search. And they do have a number of masks prices creeping up yet again, but well, not too much. But some. Anyway, one of the masks that is definitely recommend recommendation because a lot of people may be a little claustrophobic with the conventional smaller eyepiece lenses. is the Polish tear of Polish gas mask MP5 with filter and transport bag. Now these are like new slice. They are new old inventory for $30 a piece. They've gone up a little bit again. These are creeping up for $39.99. You get three masks. Go take a look at it at Bud K 18 or see $19 $20 $19 and $18 respectively for the mask that they have on the shelf and it's a mix. Warsaw Pact pretty much across the board. The Polish MP5 has a wide lens. It doesn't have a full face shield lens. But it does have a wide, basically like a snowboard or a skiing lens, which of course eliminates some of the issues with regard to stereoscopic vision and creating the illusion that you're not in a gas mask. Okay, at least to a degree. This is critical because some people are very claustrophobic. And if they are, getting them to wear a gas mask is a bugger and it's always a problem. It is a problem child issue from the get-go. But they don't have much, so whatever they do have, check it out. Go to budk.com, punch in gas mask, look to see what they have. I noticed that the buy one, get one, free deals is gone. Okay, the BOGOs seem to be gone. I was hoping they'd put the gas mess every once in a while they do it just shows up but it looks like the buy one get one free deals are now a thing of the past so oh wait a minute but we do have some other kind of sale let's see what happens here. Interesting but not that interesting. Go ahead check them out budk.com and just as a reference you can go check them out yourself and go page by page you know square by square and look see if there's anything else in there that is useful to you that will make sense. Another thing about material recovery, somebody's asking me here, well what about clothing? Guys, you know what? Both sides are not going to be pretty as far as they're going to be dirty. Dirty inside, underneath all that clothing, and dirty outside too. Before you do the clothing, because we don't know whether bugs, critters, and parasites might be wandering around, processing by basically what is a laundry slash an AG section, because it covers many, many different subjects. The laundry slash or graves registration or payroll, all the payrolls under obviously two different departments. Yeah, you're gonna do it to a degree if we are working this out. We will eventually be paying personnel There will be a payroll system. That's just the way things work But the fact of the matter is that each of these lesser elements are There the support elements are there to refine your performance in the field. Okay, so something to think about there Graves registration is something we don't talk as much about but I have mentioned again if you're going to be KIAing personnel You're going to want to, in some cases, make sure the bodies are underground. Pestilence needs to be corralled in. The enemy dead need to be put in grave as quick as possible, along with anybody else, any humans or animals, for obvious reasons. Again, above surface, effluvia becomes a breeding ground for what might be actually already a disease problem with the individual that was made a KIA, killed in action. KIA as in could be maybe a non-combatant and still ends up in the wrong place at the right time. The other side has all kinds of wicked things that they can use and they've used on the civilian population before without even thinking twice about it. So that needs to be taken into consideration too. Go ahead, we got a caller. Who do we have? Hey, this is Tom from Northern Michigan. Go ahead, Tom. What do you got? Hey, something that a lot of people need to do when they check. Check their clips of magazines every now and then, because sometimes in springs will get overstretched and yeah, they won't work right, because I had a 45 clip that when I pulled it out of the thing, the bullets went spraying all over the place because the thing was the clip in there, or the spring in there was too, I just, you know, stretch it out, because it was all, people needed to keep their that and get spare things for the mags. Right, one of the things, firing pin extractor, ejector, all main springs, all secondary springs. The smaller the part, the more likely you should have second components on hand. There's no reason not to carry them. They're tiny. Push pins and plunger springs are especially critical. Guys, you've got to remember to do maintenance on those two. That's why you have a lot of weapons where the extractor will start breaking or doing damage to cases in different ways. The main extractor in slash also the ejector may have actually lodged or rusted into locations. Some pivot, some don't. Or at least have a certain amount of pressure on them. Well, if they were already at close proximity, to oxidizing in, you know, in like to what we call monument grade. Okay, you can imagine what that means. Well, guess what? If that happens, your weapon, no Tiki, no Washi, it doesn't mean, it doesn't have to be the largest part. It's the smaller parts that are easier to oxidize anyway because of lack of maintenance and accessibility. So those are little areas, those are small components that need to be taken into consideration for replacement and for constant, you know, periodic updating if there's any changes that can be made or should be made maybe because it does make more sense. The other thing about, again, for instance, extractors, extractors, if they can't flex, they'll snap, they'll break. And that's typically what happens when you see it, you're just harder to see it with a smaller component because Again, you have a much finer or micro-fine area where oxidation can build up, and it builds up either on the little pivoting rollers or the cams, or again, the stays or guide tracks, whatever it is. But they can oxidize right in place and look good. I mean, they'll actually allow a weapon to be loaded, but you fire, and the energies that are supposed to be released aren't And two things can happen, either it can break a case's extraction lip, the case that's actually in the chamber, that makes no fun there, or it can failure to extract and in fact, snap the extractor, which happens on a regular basis with certain weapons that you need to be cautious of. If you're going to fire the weapon, you know, and you're not familiar with its full performance and function ranges, you need to check it out. There is a reason they make winterization kits for guns. There's a reason they make you know, different configured springs and weights and gauges depending on what you're doing with the weapon. So just a heads up there. And again, you can tailor and trune the weapon to your needs, something everybody seems to forget. You have the ability to change it out to what will work for you in your environment into the best of your ability. Again, you can, you'll have to work yourself physically into making that system function. You have to find out what it is that needs to be accomplished. What's the threat? How can you deal with it so it's no longer a threat? But won't interfere necessarily, let's say, while you're dealing with that, dealing with a combat threat issue right in front of you. Issues with regards to failure, mechanical maintenance issues, etc. that crop up. They always crop up in the worst possible time when you're probably in conflict. Because you're using the tools in the toolbox that you purchased for that very purpose. So it's one of those things that needs to constantly, you need to be reminded of that there are things that need to be in constant maintenance. Again, lubricants to your friend but not on ammunition. And remember, don't go excessive with oils. Any lubricant, don't go excessive with it all. There are some dry lubes out there that can be used to keep things running when they, you know, get a little over carboned or whatever. Even with fluid lubricants, that's possible or that may be necessary. There are different weapons and there are different techniques, which is something I need to emphasize. We're at the bottom of the hour at 8.31 and I know we have Tom there. Tom, you still there with me? Yeah, I'm still here. There we go. Anything else? Jump in there, please. Forgive me. Um, yeah, another thing that people needed, need to be reminded of, check your food, because you never know when little critters will go in there and tear a little hole in them and start eating them, and the next thing you pick them up and there's rice or oatmeal and whatever all over the place. When you hear the red ghost, what mind you man this build? In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, hear ye not the singing of the view, the wild and free. Soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree, oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, the truth knows the rifle. You may ride a goodly speed, you may know it's a turn of master Your forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And your leader John is sharp Glad to make what little noise And always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we will prove no strife We'll eat no graves at home Back across the briney water And here the eimus come like well a superfly We've got much to do and the sooner it is begun If Vincent's figure holds a buck through the fritters will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle Alright, in our hands we'll prove no trifle If you don't know what that drum tap it was supposed to be That's the pan and then the charge going off pull the trigger on a flint lock what happens. Boom! See how that works? You kind of get the same effect with cap and ball but it's a little faster. The pan when the striker is, flint strike is hitting the metal bar and then it sparks down onto the pan that activates the powder. Boom! And then, boom! See how that works? Pump, pump! And remember, just because the pan charge goes off doesn't mean you're going to get an instant response. So you constantly have to stay laid on target with a weapon like that and you have to continue to track. The bullet did not leave the barrel just because the pan activated. Yeah, still got the time to think about it. In fact, you're waiting for the charge to go off while you've already had the pan activate. It's quick, but it's still, you can actually identify, especially when you're the hooman who's operating the equipment. Always remember that one too. The world slows down so much. Anyway, let's see, a couple of the things here too. It being Weapons Wednesday, I had a bunch of people and I mentioned banded. It's like, well, where do we get bandits from? Well, That's where you got to be careful actually I mentioned Bud K because you can get some cheap working vanets You won't cry about there's two grades of vanets the real ones that cost you know goofy money And then there's the working blades which are in many cases used and in good condition or fair condition That's what you can buy by the used good or fair You're not worried about the blade being pristine or being collectors item you just need a working blade that you can plug on the end of that bayonet, on the bayonet lug, the proper bayonet for the proper weapon. For AR-15s, it's easy. There's a bunch of knockoffs that were made. China support Bud-K is out there, and that's good enough for most of what you're doing. There are standard military bayonets. In fact, there was a flurry, about six months ago, a flurry of bayonets that came out of gov liquidation and out of Iron Planet. The newer M9, or not M9s, what is the M6? But also the standard, the older Vietnam era pattern and the newer survival pattern, both. Thousands of them came out at once. A bayonet is still an awful handy thing, like when we're talking about stripping the enemy dead, or if you're moving prisoners. The bayonet will keep people busy or moving along, and also a sharp pointing object at close range. It will save ammunition as needed. Of course, doesn't mean you wouldn't probably shoot them anyway if a prisoner decides to try and go at you. But, hey, bayonets do help to keep the confidence on your side, so to speak. You know, keep the team properly balanced. The big thing here again, too, is for your Enfield, Springfields, Mausers, SIG rifles. SIGs are out there. Actually, they were pretty cheap for a little while. That was amazing. I think most of those are gone, but there were some modern SIG bayonets. that were for the new rifles, not for the Swiss SIGs, although there were some cheap ones there, some beautiful blades from Switzerland. We bought so many of those because they just make good fighting knives, okay? The Swedish Mauser Bannettes, they were a big thing for a while. They got rid of all of those at once. They went on the Luzhemann. or on the model, what is it, 1931 or 1930, Swedish Mausers, all the Mausers, basically the bayonets, the same for those periods. And in addition to that, again, for instance, the Setme, there are Setme bayonets for under $30, and they're very fine blades, coming from not just Spain, but also from South America, and Imbel blades. Imbel is the equivalent to say, Browning knife up here in North America in Bell is very high quality and their steel is par excellence They have very you've done a very good job executing a number of different bolo blades that are actually bayonet configuration for the set me In the Mauser bayonets, it's a catches catch camp, but there is a mix of Mauser bayonets out there A little hint, if you have the FN49, that takes a standard K98 Mauser bayonet, so you don't have to look too far. You don't need a brand brand new one, you don't need a thousand dollar or five hundred dollar collectible blade, you just need a working blade. So you watch for those ten or fifteen dollar specials where the scabbard and the bayonet don't match serial number wise. Every once in a while some guy shows up with a cash that he got from back in the 90s or in the 80s and have a big pile of Mauser banettes. Remember, if you've got Mausers you got to make sure they do work with your particular rifle. Know the difference between the Czech, the Pole, and the German. Those are the three dominant. But then there's still plenty of K98s that were made in Mexico, South America, and the Middle East. So there again, now the In the US rifles, for the Springfield, the Springfield Bannette and the Grand Bannette are one of the same. The Bannette that will fit the Grand will fit the Springfield. The Bannette that fits the Springfield will fit the Grand. The M14 takes its own Bannette. The M1 carbine takes its own specific design and Bannette. For the locking systems, that's where the difference really is. The basic blade they agreed on years ago, and so there really hasn't been much of a change in the pattern until they came up with these newer survival wire cutter combination blades in the 90s, in the late 80s, and into the 90s. Many different models. The Russians had theirs, the US, we had ours. And they are both out there in force in one form or another. Now a lot of your AKs and SKSs, while many do have the bayonet lug and are ready to take a bayonet, there are many that do not because they were either cut off or they were taken off before they even got in the country because the Chinese were told they had to get rid of the bayonet lugs. Later on, they completely ignored that, nobody cared, and they just kept bringing them in. If they don't have a bayonet lug, yes, there are add-on bayonet lugs that you can buy. And the advantage of this is that you can actually buy bayonet lugs for the M16 that will work as far as the bayonet fixture, the type of bayonet you use, but it is designed to be mounted on the AK. So the cool thing is that you can actually cross dress them, so to speak, and it is a barrel clamp system. They work. There's nothing fancy about them. The big advantage is again you can take and use a number of different market banettes that are out there to be able to mount them on the weapon as needed. Now what's it for? Well, poke them in the butt if they're laying on the ground and they're trying to fake you out. Just remember you stick somebody in the rear end with a piece of metal it usually kind of hurts. You poke them in the knee or in the butt cheek or wherever you want to. depending on how they're laying on the ground, and you're going to get a response. If you don't get a response or if you get an involuntary response with not a whole lot of drama, well, you'll have to make a judgment call there on what you want to do with what it is you just discovered. You might just finish whatever is there with the bayonet, or you may choose to be a little more civil about, well, do we take prisoners if we really want enemy prisoners? Well, you know, we'll see how that works out. That's a personal flavor thing. Again, the Set Me Banettes, I think right now, are one of the cheapest for the best quality. You can go to GunPartsCorp.com, and in fact, even over in their clearance section right now, they do have a number of different accoutrements for the carbine, the Set Me, et cetera, and many other guns too. And banettes are in the mix, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Now, they're not as cheap. It used to be the average price in a banette was $9, $10, $11, $15 for a higher end item. They weren't really on the ups sweep but that's in the past. Now, well what's out there is out there and a lot of the stuff is still being used in the field and is not being released like it was before. Because of that, that's making whatever inventories are still there in existence from before that much more valuable. So again, with the M16 where I can save money I can get a $12 or $15 bayonet for the, or about a $10 actually if I do the stainless one that's over there at budk.com. Good enough for what it's for Again, nothing to write home about but it will do exactly as you intended for it to do which you know if you want to give somebody a sharp, you know poke with a you know piece of steel there you go and It's affordable so you can afford to buy one for every gun and not you know Be out the price of a rifle by the time you're done buying wheel Let's say you have five guns you buy three of them as the price of a rifle will look to want to charge for the bayonets now We're not looking for collectors items. We're looking for feel great. Always remember that Unless you want it, no, you can't stop you from doing it. Even when I say that, it's like, oh, Mark, Mark, well, let me buy a new bandit. I'll buy whatever you want. You've got your heart set on the best available and the most expensive. And if that's the case, I'm not going to get in the way I can. I'm here in Michigan. You're over there in Wisconsin or you're out there in Florida, you're over there in Maine. wherever you are take your pick. Also remember look in the clearance and odd lot sections. Weird stuff shows up in places you never expect to see it. And some places where you think what's a regular gun shop they actually get military and they get stuck with some of these. They make a trade with somebody who came through the door. They go to a trade show where they buy it because they got a deal, a package deal on a big pile of stuff. Or they were into it in the past and they gradually sold out the inventory. Somebody here is asking about about car like our carcano bat bandits and Mauser bandits for like the six fives and such. Yeah, they're out there Actually, here's weird. This is weird. Don't ask me why They're making reproductions of the carcano bandit like they do came reproductions of the k-98 they're making reproductions apparently for reenactors and So the model 19 of the m19 39 bandit is being made again They're also making the earlier model 91. Both the bayonets fit on this. One fits on the other rifle. They both will work on each other. But the 91 is the traditional, you know, Christian Cross type of hilt blade formula. The Model 93, or forgive me, the Model 39, which is the Lee Harvey Oswald Special, you know, Carcano, that has more of a mouser look to it in terms of without eyelet. Okay, just simply a yoke where the barrel rests, with the bayonet rests on the bottom six o'clock point on the bayonet, on the rifle, on the barrel, forgive me. They also make a folding version, and I guess they've made a reproduction of that, and I don't know why. I mean, I understand there are people like Italian, but I didn't see any, I haven't seen any big wow about grabbing Italian anything in terms of military like that. But there are new reproductions. They're about half the price of what a regular Carcano Benet is going for now. So that is a good deal. And again, the quality is excellent. The stuff that the Chai Comms or whoever it is is making it or cranking out, they are comparable in quality to the original blade and they do work. So just a little heads up there. Also, the Nagants, a lot of them came in with the bayonets, but they pulled them out and wanted to sell them separately. Because of this, they could make a little more money. They charge you a flat rate for the rifle, but all the goodies that should have been in the box with it, they pulled. There's about a dozen companies that have the nagot bayonet out there There are no scabbards that were ever made for that if you want a scabbard for a nagot bayonet Your best bet is to make one out of nylon yourself and stitch it up sew it up or have somebody's so it up for you now So I don't run a sewing machine You just take the nylon strapping that you can buy OD green black earth brown, whatever color you choose and you fold it over to cover the length of the bandit up to the hilt and then you allow for a little overextension to the length of the overall length of the bandit, including the socket end. And then you run a roll on that and you actually even put another S, a little part of the cloth coming back up and then you stitch that, multi-stitch that. with a couple of zigzags back and forth and then an X pattern. You've created a hanger and you've got the sheath with the using the nylon cordage as the sheath for your bayonet. So that's a way to make a sheath that you can then mount on your backpack for your nagot, make it that much easier so you don't poke yourself with it as quickly. Go ahead. Yeah, I made a scabbard for a nagunt. bayonet for a friend out of a part of a safety belt, you know, out of your car. Right, safety belt, yeah that'd be perfect. Yeah. That's the same idea, that's the same material. Although actually a little finer weave and typically a tougher material, I will point that out. Actual seat belt strapping is a tougher grade of whatever type of ballistic nylon or nylon, you know, strapping the inner weave that they have for it. So that would be a good choice. And they do have all kinds of tactical colors and safety belts. You just got to go through the parking lot. Go through the junk yard and see what they got. Yeah, most of it is dark. All of it is... kind of fine to the touch so it's not going to abrade you and it's very strong and it's ought to be dirt cheap. Yeah, another thing you can do with that because you do have the point on the end is you can put either a cap on the outside and you can make it in plastic. There's no reason for it not to be. You can make it malleable like a thick wall plastic that you can fold and then you rivet and thread, you run, you know, thread holes, which you make it no wider than your strapping. and you put the cap on the end so that it prevents it from doing a poke through. Eventually, it will wear, I mean not right away, but it will wear. So you can either put it inside and stitch it into place, or you can wrap it around the outside on the base where the tip is, where the tip will rest with the bayonet sheath if you're going to use a nylon. So a good choice, that's an option. There are a number of other solutions out there with the other the other bayonets scabbards are available strangely enough as you will see scabbards are separated from bayonets bayonets from scabbards and if you look around you'll find K98 bayonets scabbards at one location for you know in like all the paints missing it might have a little ding for four or five or six dollars and then you'll find the bayonet in another location and it'll be ten dollars twelve dollars maybe as much as twenty But if you piece them together, if you're not worried about serum number and you're not worried about looking real pretty, you're looking at tactical. Again, you can clean the blades up pretty quick. Lubricants and, of course, oils will take care of most of the problems that anything needs to be addressed right away with oxidation and then take it and get into the service. I probably have, I don't even know, I've lost count of the number of bayonets, because I have bayonets for every weapon that we have that is in strategic reserve slashes, in caches, or where I put them in caches decades ago or years ago, and I would say probably a few thousand bayonets. Of that, again, Mauser Bannettes, AK-47 Bannettes, real dominant, tons of those, because we bought them dirt cheap back when they first came in, and they were giving them away because the exchange rate was so ridiculous. The big thing here again is then mating them up to the rifle that will lead it down the road and making sure that the whole group has a comparable weapon system available. Something to think about there. If they don't have it, issue it. Okay, but that's why we're accumulating what we're accumulating so that when the time comes for the war effort We can turn right around and outfit a group immediately get them back out in the field They're completely outfitted top to bottom and they're squared away ready to fight that includes that fighting knife slash Manette and a number of other tools Before we're going farther, not just Manettes, but you know what? A pen knife and a utility barlow size knife are two things you should all carry and have ready to roll in your gear. A barlow is a pretty common blade. There's a couple of inexpensive copies and they even say barlow still. But the little barlow thumb blades that were out there are a very good and are a good utility work blade for doing a lot of the little stuff that just happens every day in the field. The pen knife is certainly a tool for whatever else you want to use it for, but pen knives were originally designed for finger maintenance. Seriously, keeping your hygiene up. So here's something to think about. Get used to the idea of carrying a pen knife. Pen, P-E-N, pen knife. That should be a priority for everybody out there, seriously. These are knives that traditionally everyone carried. We've become Panty Waste America. People do carry a certain number of knives, but not necessarily what are useful working knives. They are fighting knives, but they're not working knives for all the other things you need to take care of through the day. Okay, and in fact, if you have a fighting blade and you have a fighting edge on it, you don't want to use that on other work, if at all possible. So keep that in mind too. Once you've worked on a blade and tuned a blade, you want that for what it was intended against an aggressor. So other tools are useful. P-38 can opener. Still one of the best little utility tools out there. There's a number of different utility universal tools. One is a little credit card. It has about 12, 14, or 20 different things that you can be done with it. They aren't going to do anything fast, but they will do something which is most critical. Another thing about maintenance in the field, we mentioned it before, POL, petroleum oil and lubricant products, but don't get that, you know, keep that material properly secured. Not because I'm worried about anybody stealing it, but because we don't need petroleum oil and lubricant product cross-contamination. That will destroy water supplies that can damage clothing, material, and equipment. So remember if you do have POL, petroleum oil and lubricant products that you are using, you need to contain those and also tub them for safety reasons. If we do have a failure of a container, we don't want to lose the product that's inside. Remember that. So there's a number of tricks with ways that you can store that material. If you're carrying it in the field on your gear, make a point of double or triple bagging the stuff. There's a Ziploc bags are phenomenal for that but there are some ordinance and arsenal tools also that are out there. We actually have access to in many cases that are very useful. Some of them are new, some of them not so new. Gibbs lubricant, I mentioned many times on here. Gibbs, if you can find it, buy it, take it home, use it. Use it on everything. If you're using it on guns, it won't hurt the wood, won't hurt the plastic, won't change the finish, won't do anything to harm the leather, anything you've got you're in contact with, Gibbs actually enhances. It will help to make supple again. It is a phenomenal formula and it works really well. So it's one of those things you keep handy with your support tools. But remember, anything that's in the spray bottles, you can lose a cap and you can hit a button by accident. and it be pressed down and you'll hear the chh, you'll finally figure out, oh my god, that's something else, those aerosol cans in my gear, aw man. And then you got the stinkiness all over the place and the oiliness all over the place and it ain't going away. Okay, so we need to be cautious on that, be paying attention whenever we're doing work like that. Especially maintenance in other areas where other operations, other personnel are. that will be not copacetic to appreciating whatever you might have done to them because they really, really don't understand the external conflict that we're in and the environment and situation that's been developing and taking place, which of course will affect to a degree. Again, how do you do maintenance? How do you maintain control? How do you focus on all the many different subjects we're talking about? Well, that's just it. You've got to keep them sorted. Let's see, we only had a few minutes left here. I want to say thank you. I understand we had some other donations that came in the last couple days. We appreciate that. Also, for everyone out there, it is going to be a very busy Labor Day weekend. We do have a couple of construction projects. I believe that the Camp Emmerich project is going to be completed. Remember, we talked about a few weeks ago. The engineers will be there. And I believe that Camp Fox is going to go the next step in range development, so we'll find out more about that. I'm pretty sure they had their vote last two weekends ago, as a matter of fact, and that was for additional or supplemental construction. Remember, everything is rustic, everything is camouflaged back in, rolling terrain, just like it started. wherever possible. That of course will be possible. It is going to happen, not possible. It will happen. It has to. And the guys are doing a really good job of us, you know, keeping up with some of the issues that are developing there. So guys, keep up the good work. This weekend is going to be a long weekend. And I know that the range fire has been a lot of competition. We've actually been growing to the point. Guys, you're going to have to be very attentive to getting in, using the range and getting out. We technically were overbooked over the last two weekends, especially all the garbage that they're flapping their yap about. Now we have a lot of people that are getting motivated again. Don't forget, we're heading towards deer season too, so everybody wants to start tuning their rifles up for that. And we use the ranges for a number of different subjects that are scheduled by a group over the weekend. Whoever that group is, they've got it for the window that they signed up for. And if they choose to do whatever they're going to do, that's their business, not ours. along with the follow safety protocol and mission protocol on the range. So we are working on expanding Fox and if that happens then a lot of people are going to be happy farther north and we'll be able to utilize the range of the expanded range all through the weekend. So there ends the weekend course. I hear the top. We are here guys. For everybody out there, God bless our Republic. There we go. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, but they are not. Guys, God bless you all. Remember, you're stripping the enemy dead. Short term, magazines and ammo, everything sticks with the weapons that were being carried by your enemy. That includes 40mm grenade, RPG-7 reloads of whatever variant, and disposable ordnance. You may have to keep it in place because you've got to keep fighting. You're going to use your enemy as a mobile resupply pod. God bless. And good evening and welcome to Tech Comm. I'm here. At least I think I'm here. Oh, it's loud enough. Let me readjust my mic here. Okay. No, you're not here. You're over there. Yeah, that happens. Okay, so our primary topic tonight was going to be state P25 systems or state safety systems. I do not know I'm assuming that most states have a similar system or a lot of states have a similar system that this information can be applicable to more than one state. There are areas that have net upgraded to systems like this or they might use a totally different system actually. However, like I was looking at Can't hear a thing from you dude. You're just gone. Oh you can't hear anything for me. Oh no oh Yeah, well, I'm sorry. I was talking to everybody in the conference line and apparently nobody in the conference line could hear me We lost him looks like he's coming back up now right now. I See we got tech calm in the discord again, which means he'll probably be back up here in the conference line shortly We just got to give him time to call back in What I was telling everybody, which the conference line missed, sorry about that, my mic wasn't turned up all the way. We've got the archives available again thanks to what they did with the free conferencing HD and I've been linking the archives over there on the Liberty Tree Radio website to the free conference call HD site. And so far I've messed around with Your mind is your primary weapon with Mike's program and a couple of programs of the intelligence report Everything seems to be working good and I got an echo or something going on in the background there. Well, thank you and I appreciate your work it All right Like I said, we should be calling back in I'm gonna check and make sure we can get him because I see him on discord again So I'm gonna give us a short break here and hopefully we'll be back with Doing a show so we'll be right back and right as the intro is closing out again It looks like we've got him back Hey, there we go. I Just telling everybody we are the conference system changed on us and it's kind of throwing everything for a loop It's still the same but and some different requirements, kind of a pain in the arse. I don't know, did you have to log in or were you able to just create a nickname and click the call button? Well, I didn't fully try to log in. I tried opening the link I got after I created an account. There was a link to the phone and I tried that link into a browser I was not logged into and it allowed, it brought up the dialer and stuff and I could punch in numbers. I didn't try anything further than that but I think you probably could get in without actually logging in though. Okay, I've been told people have had problems logging in. Okay, well that wasn't, well there's quite there. I just told people who've been having a problem logging in without doing it, which is why I said just create a quick account. It's working. Your archives are going to be up tonight, although there's going to be a little bit of a gap there because even when I turned on my microphone to fill in for you while you were gone. My mic wasn't turned all the way up to the conference line so fun there Look just a little technical problems that we're gonna have to work out with this new system, but I think it's gonna be pretty good so Anyway, I'll let you get on with your show okay my internet actually took a crap So it wasn't really the call-in line was working fine. This I lost totally lost connection for the entire house, so What was weird though is just before I totally lost connection. I actually heard whatever his name was say that they lost me and then it was then I lost completely lost connection. So that was weird. Okay, so we have what we were going to be talking about state P25 systems. First off, I was actually going to talk about something else that I thought of first. One, I guess you could call it force multiplier, as far as having technology do the work for you in a sense is you can record scanner traffic so you can come back later and listen through it. You can do this with a computer, however it's more energy efficient and stuff if you do this with a Say like an Android phone or something now you can have you can find apps on Voice activated recorder apps is what you'd want to look for Let's see I'm trying to see if I have one for example here Figure out where I stuck all the radio links on my Android Where did I put those I stuffed them all into one folder. Oh there we are Okay, let's see here. We have smart recorder And I have automatic audio recorder. I haven't actually tested those out as far as fully doing what I'm talking about with them. But now obviously if you're old school, I guess you could actually use actual physical tape recorder as long as it has a voice activated. Or they do make digital recording devices out there that are voice activated. And you probably would, depending on how much traffic sound the frequencies you're listening to, let's go cut out most of the dead air so you can listen to stuff a lot faster when you get around to it. Also, I guess that's the main thing right there. And you can just about any scanner. you know, has an audio output on it that you can plug in to like an Android phone or whatever device or you know, I mean if you really have to you could actually not even plug it into it and just use the microphone on the device. Just keep in mind that if there's any ambient or you know, noise in the air or whatever it might record that if you're talking in the same room or something. Like I think it was actually Ed or somebody, it was a I forget which, I don't know if it was Spike or it was some other, but anyway, I guess I heard them guys, some other radio gut gurus they used, basically it was a analog phone taped to the microphone or something stuck in a box was their system for, you know, plugging that into their system and it worked, you know, because Now don't mock that because A, it's simple. I found to do something the right way, even though it's technically possible, you might find that it's just way too much work to actually do it the right way. And also you can have, doing it the right way, sometimes you can have audio issues or grounding issues between devices when you go to plug them in to other stuff. Usually not if it's just like a scanner. as just listening or whatever. But you get into transmitting and stuff like that and you can have all sorts of interference between devices when they're physically attached to each other. Actually when it comes to just electrical connecting things electrically and stuff there's even, what do you call it, they have relays that are actually optical relays so that it's not actually a physical connection. between the devices to cut out the interference and stuff. Okay, that's actually way more info than what's really needed for what I'm talking about. So, yeah, you hook your scanner up to some sort of recording device that's voice activated. There might be some stuff out there that... There's other ways of activation, but usually voice would... The programs would be for voice is what you'd find for this. And, let's see here, there's even a program for some of the digital scanners to actually record some of this information directly on the computer. It's hooked up to that, but that's kind of beyond this because you have to have a special program and a scanner for that and stuff. But this can be done with, you know, any scanner. Okay, if you want to take it a step further, I haven't managed to have not managed to actually do this myself, but there are supposedly translation or dictation programs out there supposedly even for Android for that matter and Anyway, the concept behind this would be is that you could actually have either as it's being recorded or possibly maybe you just run the audio file through the program and it would actually dictate and Convert all the audio into text because skimming through text is a lot faster than trying to listen to a bunch of audio and then you could even possibly run keyword searches on it or something like that. I don't know, that's just actually a take up less space if you're going to archive it. Now obviously keep in mind that audio dictation software doesn't always accurately record or Understand what somebody's saying so considering this is a just a communications grade. You know level radio it may That we're talking about it may not actually do that well Doing that, but that's just some avenues to look into as far as that goes Okay Yeah, our I guess our main topic was the p25 digital radio systems now some of these may actually be DMR Motor roll DMR. I think that makes might be redundant because I think DMR stands for distro mode mode I forget right off the bat, but we're not actually talking about that so Typically these states systems They have a tower Usually about every county. I mean they don't have to be Usually the towers are about 25 to 50 miles away. I believe they actually The idea is that they do overlap. Okay, actually, they overlap coverage about 13 to 26 miles. I'm not exactly sure on where the maximum coverage for a tower is. What's interesting is they will have frequencies on these systems. Actually, let me back up before I get... Just for clarification and stuff here what I'm actually talking about the systems these are usually used for State safety systems now. They're usually for police use, but they're also include Often will include and well include the 911 system which also will be like ambulances and stuff too, but they caught the state safety system even though half the system is actually of questionable safety value but These systems are in the last decade or so they've been taking over. It used to be a lot of places had county towers, you know, the county sheriff and stuff would have their own tower. A lot of places they still have the infrastructure is usually left in place as a backup system. The county stuff was usually on VHF and there are one by one they move to over to The 800 usually it's a 800 megahertz system sometimes. It's a 700 megahertz system. This is actually I believe it's It has something to do with the feds as far as being That unified like a standard as far as the systems Go as far as their similarities and stuff, so they've most County, actually it's even city, county, and local stuff. Most of these places will be moved over. If they have not already to the 800 megahertz digital system. Usually it's P25, which is a POCO, something like that. P25 digital. Actually, to listen to these systems, you do need Either you need a newer scanner or at least one made in the last decade That's a dip that specifically says this additional scanner capable of decoding p25 They do they still make analog scanners which are good for everything else or most everything else but Most p25 scanners the newer ones will also do DMR which is the other real popular one a lot of ambulance companies and commercial businesses and stuff use DMR dish toe now been if Recommendations for listening to p25. Let's see here the 1040 Whistler, I think it's the Whistler 1040 Yeah, the Whistler 1040 now this this is actually the actual design of this radio and everything is actually the first one It's uh it's not the first brand name that this radio's had it's actually at one time was a Radio Shack Pro 106 I think it was And it was actually made the generic OEM company was actually Said GRM There was a generic there was a nudge But there was an OEM company that actually made this radio and the radio shack had their own brand You know they had a branded version of the same radio now The same exact design everything I think they might just move the bun rearrange the buns on it or something But the same basically the same radio is still offered For 200 bucks. I think it is and it's called the whistler 1040 There is also another model of whistler radio called I forget what model number it is But the analog one that's actually currently available at Walmart for 80 But it's big bigger brother is the 1040 and that's actually digital only does p20 I mean doesn't only do p25 But it does not do DMR. It does a few couple other digital modes as well They used to be about $400 when they were new I think But yeah since the radios technically is the design and everything of that radio is technically a decade old now and so it's only $200 I'm not sure what they go for on the used market. Seems how the newer ones are actually only 200. It used to be that the used ones were 200, so I'm not sure about that anymore. But that's the cheapest route to go with an actual handheld scanner. Now then they, obviously you can get more expensive scanners, obviously now, for that purpose. Also, if you want a really cheap way of doing this, now it's not exactly incredibly portable, although you probably could. It's not, you can't put it in your pocket, at least. They have, let's see, if you have an RTL-SDR, or actually you could also do this with an odor, or you know, with an analog scanner that has a... what do you call it, a discriminator output. Also, it's possible that some of the newer analog scanners, I haven't actually looked into this, but it's possible some of the newer analog scanners actually have their audio out on them, might actually include the discriminator, the right stuff for doing this as well. Some of them do. Don't expect that though. But yeah, with this discriminator tap, which you can, when doing, You have to actually rip apart the radio to do this and if you don't know what you're doing or even if you do and you screw up you can kind of kill the discriminator chip. So this part, this is not recommended but you can technically use an old analog scanner. Pipe that into your computer and you can still get the additional audio using the DSD plus or DSD digital speech decoding software. Now what I actually recommend doing is you have get yourself an RTL SDR for 20 bucks and use that to get your 800 or 700 megahertz signal in and then pipe that over to the DSD plus software and there are several ways to do that mind you some of them are with virtual audio cables. Virtual audio cable is basically a lots of virtual audio cable It's like you plug in one program to the other so it can get the audio from it because sometimes Programs don't like listening to audio from other programs inside of Windows Matter of fact, I mean if if you have it really bad you could actually now no, I don't think that would work I was gonna say you could actually physically pipe a cable out over your audio out and on your computer and run it right back in your mic jack on your computer but it seems like that would have some sort of interference like it start hearing it stuff I don't know I've never actually tried that so that's anyway but yeah RTL SDR with DSD plus software or there's a another one that's called DSD that's made by some other people One two three hey, I would not I would not recommend doing that you could blow out your finals as far as the sound card goes It's the same problem with plugging and input on a mixing board into the output on a mixing on the same thing I'm going to board and pumping the audio through on a loop. You'll you'll kill the channel Okay, so don't do that. I wasn't recommending that that just was one thought that came to mind I've never tried that before and really, you know, you can find free software that will virtually do the exact same thing. So, yeah, don't do that. But there's a virtual audio cable and then there's an audio virtual cable software. One of them is a pay software, one of them is a free software. There is supposedly similar software I thought for Linux. I don't remember what it was called. I haven't actually attempted to do this with Linux. I do this all the time in Windows though. I have noticed that recent... well, actually I haven't used it recently, but I have noticed sometimes I had to reinstall... on several occasions I had to reinstall the virtual audio cable or whichever one it was I was using. I had to reinstall it in order for it to start working again. It just... I don't know if something changed to setting or what. So right there you get with an RTLSDR, assuming you already have a computer and some laptop, if your laptop is fast enough, can do this too. You have basically minus the computer, price the computer, you have your self-additional scanner for 20 bucks. I highly recommend that. to anybody that doesn't have $200 to $400 for a scanner. Now then, if you don't have any digital networks within your area, then I guess you should still get the RTLFDR. For signals intelligence purposes, every group, regardless of, you know, should have Even if you're just as a person, you should have this capability. And obviously the software is free for that. The DSD Plus software is free, so there's really no excuse not to have a digital decoding capability. DSD Plus also decodes a few other modes, including DMR also. Oh, one thing I should mention is there are some systems out there that are P25... P25-2 Phase 2. P25 Phase 2. I don't think... I don't believe... I don't know if there's any scanners that actually decode Phase 2 yet. I don't think that software decodes Phase 2. yet anyway, so you may... Yeah, so I forgot about that. So if your local system's a P-25 Phase 2, you might run into a little issues here. However, I believe a lot of systems, they try to make them backwards compatible, because they might have a lot of radios out there that are Phase 1. And in order to do that, the system has to support Phase 1 also, even though it is a Phase 2, and so your... Stuff may still work with that. I think that's okay. So other things other interesting things the The systems usually have like I forget it was like around five different frequencies. I forget I forget exactly the right number they have a handful of frequencies. It's under 10 It's right. It's quite possible. They could have more depending on how busy that area is And there's usually a couple, I'm basing all this information on one state's system, but I think it's usually, a lot of it's applicable, I think, to other states that have similar systems. There will be, typically, there will be two control channels. These are the same things as a trunking channel on old analog systems. It's the main control channel. There usually will be a frequency for a backup channel. I'll mention that you can find these frequencies usually. I mean, if you can't figure out how to just scan the airwaves and the range where this might be and find them yourselves, that's a good exercise actually. But usually if you go to RadialReference.com, you can find your county and you can find a bunch of frequencies there. Now I've been told that there are times when all frequencies get listed on there. So that's something to keep in mind. But now then, frequencies you won't see, okay, well here's an example. There's a couple frequencies that you might not see listed on RadialReference.com. at least specifically I'm thinking of. Now then, some ways to find these hitting frequencies, at least in this particular case, as far as these tower sites go, for the 800 MHz systems, go to... Well, let's see... Okay, somebody says they got a scanner at Salvation Army, still in the package for 10 bucks. The P25 trunking? Yeah, you just got yourself, I mean, if it's... Yeah, you just got something that's worth a couple hundred dollars probably right there. It happens. It happens. Okay, the website I was looking for. Where is that? Now, this website's good for other things. I'm just trying to figure out what the actual address for this website is. Okay, it's good. It's an easy address. It's AntennaSearch.com. AntennaSearch.com I'll even post that on Discord if you can't spell Antenna on Search.com. AntennaSearch.com. Okay, now then you go there, you can put in an address and it will search for two miles. I wish it was a little bit more, but I guess it could get confusing if it was. Anyway, you can put in an address, it will search for about a two mile radius of that address. and it will tell you all the towers and all the antennas that are registered or that it knows about anyway. Now the fun thing is about the click on the antennas and it will actually tell you what the licensing information is for those antennas if there are any and it will tell you what frequencies those antennas are. Now what was interesting is when I did this to a local tower That was on the state safety system. I found there was two extra frequencies, at least I think it was two extra, it was one or two, extra frequencies on there that I don't think were on radio reference, I could be wrong. I don't think they were on radioreference.com. And so then I did a search for these frequencies and it turned out to be those hidden frequencies that you won't normally see these frequencies used. Actually, you know what? I forget if I found it using antenna search.com or it was I'll explain another way of finding the frequencies on one of these systems here in just a second. Okay, so there were these extra frequencies and so I figured out that these are the federal interoperability frequencies or interop frequencies. These frequencies are meant to be used by the feds when they come into a county to do some jack-booting These frequencies probably will light up so the feds can move into a county and they already have the state system They can now use that system on their own couple of frequencies that are already licensed and built into that system. These are you know, this is definitely something to keep in mind Now then I'll list a couple links here I Originally did a lot of this research back during the New Jersey bump stock deal Which never really amounted anything which I didn't really think it was going to amount to anything that that bump stocks really are not that bump starts Wow just a second here. Let me get my tongue untied not that bump stocks Aren't illegal however. I I personally thought they would just They wouldn't do a big huge fiasco all at once. They love to do like, you know, if anything ever goes down someplace, they love to pick up the people, you know, at Walmart or when they're they least expect it after everything has cooled off. They don't like Waco's because that gets, well, they really would prefer to avoid a situation like that again for PR purposes. So yeah, they'll pick off anybody at Walmart or you know, when they least expect it. So as far as the boob stock thing goes, I figured they would just use that as an excuse if they happen to catch somebody for whatever reason and they find a boob stock, then they, you know, they have their excuse right there to go in, rake pillage, you know, the rest of the person's stuff then. and ring them up on, you know, they got that charge against them door to door for boob stocks, whatever, but you know, they obviously they will use that against people, but not in any grandiose fashion anyway. Let's see here. I was going to post these links. I forget exactly what these links are. This is an example. You can find a lot of information on your state safety system or whatever they want to call it online. You go to usually the state's website. The example I have posted here is www.nj.gov which is New Jersey's state website. Now there's a couple of sub-folders that this thing lies in however, They like to post the maps of the system and a bunch of information about their system because they like to brag about their capabilities and stuff. List of radios and stuff that operate on them. All sorts of maps, all sorts of information can be found usually on the state website. Now, how you might find this is possibly, if you know what your state website is, in this case is www.nj.gov, how I would find this is I would go Let's see here. Let's see if this is... In this case, I think it's actually... No, it's a PDF. Okay. An example would be you type in... Go to Google, Prefer... Well, at least I know Google will work for this. You type in site. You know what? I don't know what those two dots... I don't know what that's called. But, you know, the two dots are on top of each other thing there. The same thing that's HTTPS, is it a semicolon? No, it's not a semicolon. It's the same thing that's right off after the HTTPS on the URL. That's the two dot thing. Type in site two dot thing. I know, sounds real technical. And then you have the website you want to search, which in this example would be www.nj.gov. And then after that, I forget if you put those in quotations, but you're telling Google to search a specific website. Then you type in what you want to find. In this case, you want to find, type in PDF, and PDF will be the same for all these sites. I guess P25 or variations of P and maybe P-25 but P25 or I've done I've type in radio Different keywords like that you always want to have the well you want to try to always have the PDF on there because they almost always have PDFs of the maps and stuff and I did this on the New Jersey thing and yeah, they got third towers and I think I measured it was what did I say 13 to 26 miles apart and Was it 50 miles they do overlap I think I think the actual range of the towers like a 50 mile radius Around the tower and they overlap by placing the towers about 25 miles apart typically But you can look you can find all sorts of information on the state sites By using the key search terms like that All sorts of gems they also list Oh, I guess maybe it's radial reference. I guess radial reference might actually list the fed frequencies. But anyway, if you're seeing extra frequencies pop up and you wonder what they are, check into the federal... Actually, I have a PDF someplace that actually, if I can find it fast enough, I'll just post it. It's actually... There is a PDF for federal interop frequencies. Okay, I don't know if this is the newest one. It's the newest one I currently have. I will post this in discord if you want to find this yourself. It's called the PDF is called national national inter operator Operability not sure that's why you pronounce that interoperability field operations guide and Anyway that list a bunch of interop frequency federal interop frequencies and those extra frequencies should be listed in there I think they usually keep the same ones from state to state but I... Okay. Also you can figure out the frequencies on these towers if you run a program called... How was it? Trunk Tracker? I think it's called Trunk Tracker. Unitrunker? I think it's actually Unitrunker. Obviously there might be more than one program that does this. I think it's called Unitrunker or Unitrunker. Something like that. That program, I think this actually... Some of these programs nowadays They actually have, they're starting to add P25 decoding inside the program so you don't need an external program to do that. But I think Unitrunker is one of them that's doing that now. What's interesting is you get that, if you know what the control frequency is, You put that in there, you lock on the control frequency and it will actually, the control frequency on one of these networks will actually tell you what the other frequencies are. I'm not sure if I'll mention the fed frequencies when doing this, but it will tell you what all the other frequencies that are in use on that system are. So that's kind of an interesting tidbit there. As well if you have a digital scanner, it will also do once you put in a Control channel frequency it will go and get all the other frequencies you need now if you're using an SDR and You have you're using like SDR sharp or one of the programs so you can see a waterfall You will be able to the control channel. It will be pretty obvious because it will be a solid stream 99% of the time So when you're scrolling through the frequencies and you see a solid waterfall thing there, that's usually a trunking channel. Also, even if you're using an analog scanner or whatever, you're scanning through and you hear just a solid digital sound that's not voice or anything. Those will usually be trunking control channels, not necessarily digital, they don't have to be digital, that can also be analog, although that's falling out of style now. But yeah, it was Unitrucker, I just, Unitrucker, trunker, yep, okay, I actually made a note of that, it was farther down in my notes. Also, it was believed when these systems first started coming out to the uninitiated and radios, they thought these systems were actually digitally encrypted. Now actually, your state system, it might actually be encrypted. That's another bummer as well. Now obviously, there's still information you can get You know from the signal being present like for example just the fact the signal is present you can tell that You know you can tell how much you know depending on how much traffic you see if something's going on or There are the let me see here You can also this goes for any system regardless of whether it's digital if your scanner Lights up, and you've entered in Actually, I got that backwards. If you've entered in the actual, say, patrol car frequencies... I'm looking for the... Oh, where the heck did it go? Turn it on. I have that buried someplace. It's either... Okay, it's for... Usually for the P25 networks, I forget which it was. It was either 40 or 45 MHz below the output frequency is actually the input frequency. You put that in and that's actually what's going to be coming off a patrol car or what have you. If that lights up, that means it's within a couple miles of you and that's a good way to know if something's in your area. And this goes for any input channel like that. Now not all other systems vary. They're not typically 40 or 45 MHz, but in the 800 MHz band it's about It's one of those. I don't have... Oh, there we are. Distro voiced. Okay. Oh, where is that? It's in my notes. Why is it not there? Okay, maybe I buried that in my other notes. Okay, so yeah, all these locations... I mean, you can either RDF a tower location or you could just look it up online for that matter. And... Oh, there we go. Okay, the input frequency, at least in Michigan, is 45 MHz below the input frequency. In the 700 MHz band, it's 30 MHz above the input frequency. All frequencies, including the control channel, radios initially call in on the control channel, negative 45 MHz, for 800 or plus 30 for 700. off from what is broadcast from the tower. That's where they stay until the trunking system tells them to go to one of the voice channels to talk. Then put frequencies trunk also. There is also data that runs on these frequencies. Like you know the data terminals inside of spot cars also run off these channels. So even if you're running some decoding software If the system is encrypted, or I shouldn't say the system, if the channel is encrypted, you either get garbled stuff or nothing at all depending on what the program is told to do. So hopefully the entire system is not encrypted. In Michigan, the gang task force is the only thing I've seen that's been encrypted. With these programs, we'll also tell you the talk group ID and you can look that up on RadialReference.com and see what talk group it's part of. And the systems, you might hear stuff that's not in your county if they, depending on what channel and stuff they're on, it might be something on the other side of the state and you might hear it broadcasted, you know, in your county since it is a state-linked system. The system is designed so that if one tower goes down, the radios will try to connect to the other tower that's usually within range. Tower sites usually have one little building on them that holds the repeater and they usually have a propane backup generator. However, some sites, especially cell tower sites nowadays, will actually have a bunch of rechargeable batteries on site as a backup. Keep that in mind that might be interesting resource at some time. Crap load of batteries like that. Same concept that the telephone companies, I think they still do have battery banks at a central location or whatever. Let's see here. The systems are microwaved, linked together I believe. and they're actually like in a network, I mean they're in a network, but they're actually microwaved together. I'm not sure if they all have, they might have internet connections at the sites, I'm not sure about that. Some of them are connected through the telecommunications system. Some examples of files I've found on state sites about their systems. It's our co-location tower site access, mobile radio tower, radio configuration program standards, accepted radios, P25 training guide, stuff like that. Okay, I've covered most of, if not everything here for that, so that's the show for tonight, so good night.
