Your freedom's 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 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 you should trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be dead. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is this still the land of the free? One, two, three, one, two, three. I'm getting some feed feeds. A loop and a one and a two. I can hear myself echo. If anybody needs to mute up out there that's listening, try that and let's see what happens. There needs to be gone. That happens every once in a while. The technology goes alien on us. It's the puke 21st century where All the garbage being maintained is being maintained by people for two bowls of fish heads and rice and about $1.25 a day. And they're claiming that they're actually operating from some other country that is supposed to be kind of first world but really doesn't treat its employees any better. Good. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Quirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on Behind the lines in occupied territories southwest north northeast and south Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on Liberty tree radio dot 4 mg comm Liberty tree radio on satellite And we are on AM&FM micro stations, AM&FM conventional stations, CB base stations, the UltraNet, Hallmark, and Golden Spike technologies of the Mississippi along with the last afternoon. 12 of our friends out there in Lower 49, including the great state of Jefferson along with Kona, Seattle Line Two states' territories, and the clock. It is... 508 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is the 3rd of March. It is the 13th year of open and obvious and in-your-face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 Old Earth calendar 2021 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and again footwork shield and blade and you mix those up accordingly as part of a you know, kind of a combination a series of actions that take you to a final motion that is to finish the objective after moving through the other activities the other components Moving the enemy into a kill zone a kill point think about it hack slash slash hack hack slash hack that stab Oh, yeah, it wasn't that wasn't in the motion was it stab Anyway, it is a beautiful, beautiful day across not just Michigan, but all over the United States today. There's a weather front way, way, way over on the left coast, but that's California. If it were washed off into the Pacific, most people would be much happier if we could get any decent people, what few there are in California, out of there. But you know what? We've warned you. Leave, just leave. Leave it behind. Time to go somewhere else and that one with that way when we have to use air you know air strike and artillery on California won't be so much of a problem for us anyway oh a couple things real quick of course it is the third so we're only a day away from big wonders quick lubricants we were talking about. It's weapons Wednesday by the way. So you know what I guess we kind of critical to talk about some of the things in more depth than we touched on although we did a lot of depth work the other day. But Gibbs, I've mentioned Gibbs before in passing but Gibbs is one of those lubricants started out in the automotive industry for engine build and work and interestingly enough there's a whole story behind how Gibbs came about but what's really interesting some of our people that are listening one of them has the leather barn down in the bottom of Michigan on the southeastern corner there leather barn want to say hi and as we started talking about Gibbs the owner brought up the fact that well he's been using Gibbs for just about as long as we've been talking about it on the air Interestingly enough, you might notice the name Leather Barn. One of the things that was found out about Gibbs, which is why it's a great weapons lubricant, it does exactly what it's supposed to do with the metals, but it does not hurt leather, wood, certainly beneficial for plastic, and it's a utility work tool. In fact, they also use it for working leather. which is interesting because it's not what it was originally built for, but anybody who has been in the know and people we've been in contact with have been using Gibbs for a very, very long time. So it's actually crossed over as a POL product, petroleum oil lubricant product. It has crossed over into a lot of other industries. Now I've been very satisfied with it, used on aluminum, steel, blue, stainless. everything as a penetrant. Needless to say, this is a very efficient penetrant. So something we talked about the other day, you don't put this stuff on any ammo or again, you clean everything off no matter what P.O.L. product you're using. Wherever the magazine is involved or When it comes to component parts that are interactive with the ammunition, you want to make sure that everything is just minimally lubricated. Now, it's not going to sit there that long before it goes pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, magazine empty, drop it, put another one in. So you still want to follow all the basic rules that you do if you have like the AR-15, AK, 1911, SIG, it doesn't make any difference, Glock, oh by the way, Polymer pistols. Gibbs in no way shape or form is going to be derogatory. In fact, one of the things that we found with the plastics is that Gibbs is a rejuvenator and this is something that not all lubricants do, but it actually helps to stabilize and re-surface to a degree of absorbing whatever the bonding components are and the lubricating components are of Gibbs, which whatever their formula is, I've never gone to the factory. But what's interesting is that if you have plastic that has started to go, you know, milky on you, or you can see that it's starting to get that outer patima, well, that's a change up because of infrared radiation and a number of other activities, and even your hand oils, which by the way, to a degree lubricate things too, don't forget that. Remember, greasy oily. But you may want or you're hoping to bring back the original texture to a degree of the polymer. Well, it gives us fine. It's not going to bother it. In fact, it's going to improve the situation. So I can't say enough good about it because it's been around for a long time and we've had a chance to use it on everything. Example, the reason some people worry about leather is they use it with, for instance, the traditional 1903 or Grand or M14 leather rifle straps. They've got the cheek pads on the guns. You're using lubricant around that. A lot of people are concerned that, you know, original material is going to break down. It does just the reverse. With leather, especially older leather, it makes it relatively supple. It doesn't take the pattern out of it, but it makes it supple and it rejuvenates the cell structure of the leather. So it's not going to, nothing will last forever, but it will, it won't have any detrimental effect. Another thing here real quick is that yes there are dozens of other lubricants that have been around for a very long time. Whatever is your favorite you've been running, you might want to try Gibbs as an associate, something to work with all of the other products you've got. It does not negatively interact with any that we've seen so far. Break-free is one that was mentioned the other day. Break-free's been around for a very long time and actually is a very successful lubricant. In fact, it really works, not quite, I won't say with some materials that won't really do the same thing, but break-free is complimentary to pretty much anything that's going to interact with a firearm. metals, plastics, wood, leather, because all that's around guns. One of the other things that they experimented with is to keep the oxidation or coarseness down on the inside of leather holsters. Well, some people use Gibbs for that. It will permeate the inside. Of course, it's a lubricant, but it's not going to, you know, don't have it dripping, but it will actually help to keep that inner area from becoming less supple and, well, again, because of that, less holster wear, etc., etc., etc. So, again, all kinds of neat ideas here. And at first I was asking, it's Gibbs, G-I-B-B-S, Gibbs, G-I-B-B-S, Gibbs brand. Well, if you want to check, hold on a second caller, if you want to check, the webpage for their webpage is www.gibsbrand.com. Go ahead caller, jump in there. Yeah Mark, turn up here and read. You recommended that many years ago and I went out and bought a couple of cans. and on your recommendation of course and low and mold it does do a great job I use it not just on anything firearm related lubricate your sink faucets my god motorcycle anything oh yeah you know that great job as a matter of fact what we're a lot of the guys that use a motorcycle because it does it gets in all those spots that are hard to get and stays there for you know and you know again Not everything does work the way that this stuff does go ahead. Please jump in there. I'm sorry Yeah, the only thing I don't like is their nozzle I wish they'd do something with a nozzle that you either do a spray or like a tube you can stick in it like WD-40 will Because that's that's the way that comes folded out of the tip. There's kind of weird You know what the one go ahead? Well the one that I have the one what I have in my hand is one that does have I don't know whether or not we can still get them But this would take a nozzle, and in fact I had some, but I think I'm going to find where they are in the big case, because they usually just throw them to the side. They don't tape them like they do with WD-40 on the side or anything. But they do make them. Of course, now this can. I've got to say this, the case I've got that we're using up has been around for probably since when I first mentioned Gibbs. This particular batch, the can I'm holding in my hand right now is... some of the original stuff that we picked up, we've used many cans, many cases. Like you said, it came from the automotive. Let's remind everybody, you know, from the beginning, in fact there's a little video that they did, it might still be on YouTube, where they talked about how they started out under the hood. That's where it made its name and then, you know, somebody tried it out and said, hey, this not only works really well on precision motor work, This works on a lot of other things, especially G-U-N-S, and the rest is history for it. So it's really, it's made a name. It doesn't do anything fancy. They don't want any big advertising or anything really that I know of. But in the industry, everybody kind of knows who they are and goes and grabs it when they can. Go ahead. It's kind of interesting because I wonder, you look at the color, and then you look at the color of Marvel Mystery Oil and you go, hmm, yep. Well, that was you know what I just I just joked about that the other day in the store. Okay There was a reason for that too because you know in fact remember I've always mentioned Luber plate, right? Oh, yeah and remember Luber plate was made in World War two and it was it was originally made by what my dad said and my grandpa my grandpa know what Luber plate was right away in fact He he called he he actually pegged the name for me But it was made before the war as a precision lubricant for tool and die and micro precision machinery. And what it looks like, same color as the Gibbs coming out of the can. But it's a paste. It actually looks like this Vaseline in terms of the texture, the way it looks. And for all you guys that are old enough, you might remember you used to be able to buy, and there might still be a few companies that have it out there, I think there are, you just gotta dig, I have to look harder now. But they used to come 144. They used to come a gross of these little pots that had a yellow cap, a clear body, and they had that color of lubricant in them. Well that was lubar plate, and those were for the M1 Grand and for the M14. And that color range is the old industry standard for higher grade lubricants like that. And what's funny, remember you're old enough, okay, you and I are working the same age bracket, right? Guys, these all used to be safety colors. And what's funny, remember for years, don't drink anything that's gaudy blue. That's windshield wipers solving it'll kill ya. Don't drink anything that's psychedelic green. That's radiator fluid, that'll kill ya. Don't drink anything that's cherry red like this cherry red. It's a lubricant. Now we have high fructose corn syrup drinks with lighting underneath the cabinets to light up those colors in food drinks. Well think about it when you go to the store. Every color that was the don't drink this. They made it a bright Flosphorescent color so that you would not make the mistake or your if your mom was sitting there and she looked at you and you're over there in the kitchen and she saw a bright gray what the hell you doing that ah You know and she'd run over and smack you side of the head or hack this stuff out of your hand because you thought it was the latest soda pop If because you were very young and it was under the counter. It was a safety coloring and It's interesting that that base color there each one You know the industry had a standard before you there was OSHA or anything like that And it was all from the petroleum companies, you know, petroleum industry. And so that's why it's got... Yeah, so it's why that coloring may be the way it is too. Go ahead, please. I've got a pint can of luber plate and I've got a tube of luber plate. Now mine is actually cream colored. So it must be a newer batch, but it says luber plate right on the can and... Oh yeah. Well, you can still... If you can still get it, it is, in fact, we've never mentioned that. It's ideally used for what it was intended, where you apply a grease by regulation to the Garand, the carbine, and the M14 rifle, along with the BAR and the Browning. However, any place where you could apply a grease, you want to watch an AK turn into a really quiet, fast, singer-sewing machine. Guys, use Lubra plate on it. Seriously. In fact, what's interesting is you'll notice the change in the sound of the rifle when operating. Now you're not going to hear as much as you, because you... But you put your shoulder, there's a lot of bone conduction between your shoulder and your cheek weld to the weapon that you're using. And that's why you can hear the interaction, and you're going to hear a change. And especially as the material becomes, well first of all obviously it permeates the metal and then it rides, because that's what the grease, any place where that grease is applied it's actually riding on the grease, it's supposed to, it creates obviously a malleable vapor barrier against moisture, number one, and it complements the operation of the weapon. On the grand and on the 14, needless to say, the op rod, It's especially useful if I had to prioritize because I only had so much. I wouldn't necessarily use it where I would use it on the rail, but I would use it on the op rod because the op rod is what really keeps those types of weapons running. On the AK, the same thing, take out that gas system and give it a light coat around that cap seal, the impact. button where the gas port, you know, bleeds into the gas rest of the gas system and Watch to see how much differently that operates. I had a while I was in the military I used a luber plate on the Chinese defense a K that I had I was I was actually that was what I was issued and It was when I was working with an SF units And the thing is, of all the AKs I've ever run, that one is most memorable to me because it was a machined model, true, original family AK. I'll bet it was a Chinese, not a Russian. But that was one of the most feels like a really efficient machine AK, like none I've ever carried except for the Velmaes. I've carried every AK just about that existed. I don't know about it. I haven't had any of the newest, newest, newest ones. They run thousands of dollars. We bought them when they were $100 and $200 apiece. And, or a little more. But the idea is that it's funny, the lubra plate, when I used it, it changed, you know, because the operating system is now riding the way it should with all lubricant that it probably never would have been treated to in the Chinese military. But it was a phenomenal rifle. As far as I'm concerned. Go ahead. Did you put that louver plate around the gas piston and then also where the bolt rides in the operating rod? What I did is because you have bleed off, more efficient than anywhere else, remember the way the AK gas system is? What I did is I cleaned that out really well with a toilet brush. Not toilet brush, but it's a utility fuller brush. That was about three inches long and just a little larger than the diameter of that. Clean that out real good. Use the old style military bore cleaner. I scrubbed that sucker. And then what I did is I actually took a swab with a very small amount and I went it right up and down that channel after I flushed it back out in the bore cleaner. What I did, you know, wiped it out, cleaned it out, wiped it out, cleaned out until the patches came out looking real pretty. Then I took another ball brush and what I did was I put a little cotton on that, took the luber plate, took my finger and ran it around the rag, which was wrapped around the ball, and then pushed that right through the hole of that gas system and brought it back. I looked at it and I could see, oh, there's some of that dirt I probably missed somehow or whatever. I did it again and I pulled it back and after I made sure I could see when I looked in there that it was uniform. You don't want it real greasy, but you want to lubricate everything because that's again sealing up all those crystalline paddles on that metal. If you do a microscope you'll see it's jagged, it's not smooth. And then after that I did the entire piston, all of it, both the tapit and the piston, everything. And I did it in a light coat but I made sure that I took my finger dipped it in the luber plate and then went right around the whole of the outer circumference where the ceiling point is and stuck that in there, put everything back together, everything, springs all where they belong and then also did the tower itself on the inside but also around the seal where the tube sits and rests in place with that little ledge. Any place where I could keep it cleaner and keep it just a little more supple. And that, in addition to the rails, and again, also I did the bolt rests, either side, and it just sounded good. I don't know, it's hard to explain. You know, if you run enough machinery, guys, there's a difference between clackety, clackety, clack slash, oh, you're gonna break sooner than I thought. And something that just sounds like every machine part was tuned, you know, and it's just, it's purring. It's got that perfect mechanical, everything integrated sound to it. And that's, like I said, I didn't have as much experience with guns. I did, from that point when I got in the military, I'd handle a lot of weapons. But then, afterwards, when I was looking at trying to find opt-for weapons that were real AKs, the VELMAs were still available. And that's the first time that I'd handled an AK that actually sounded as good and felt as mechanically sound. as that AK that was, wasn't a real fancy AK, but I would say this, the weapon we probably picked up, everybody forgets that the AK was an elite weapon when it came out, guys. They didn't hand the AK out to everybody, they couldn't afford to. Look at it this way, you know, call it, think about this, how many nagats did we buy from Russia and the Eastern Bloc in the last, what, 20 years, 30 years? Oh, thousands. Hundreds of thousands. If not millions. It's probably millions. People are trying to get you to buy cases of 20 for ridiculous prices. Why didn't they throw them away? Why didn't they throw them away, guys? Ask yourself that. Why didn't they throw them away? They might have been issuing them, huh? Oh, well, the thing is, they would have. In fact, they still had K98s. There's still K98s coming out from the Eastern Bloc countries. Hell, Yugoslavia was still making the K98. Still does make a brand new K98. I think they market it for nostalgia, but because it does have a market. But it's the idea that, okay, when the AK came out, it only went to Upper Express Guard units and Special Warfare units. And it was the envy of the Eastern Bloc. So when the Chinese, in fact, let, let, I always remind everybody of this, the Chinese couldn't get the AK from the Russians as a contract rifle. You know what they would let them do? They'd let them buy lots of magazines. So if you recall, if you look at the history of the AK family in Russia and the AK family in China, they could do these, they did get the Semenov, the SKS rifle, carbine, not rifle, carbine, carbine, carbine. But in that gun when it came out was very, very much considered an elite weapon, a very, very, very high end weapon for Bortz Day. But as the AK came into play as was expected, and there was supposed to be a family of rifles, guys. The Russian inventory was supposed to be a pistol, obviously of whatever type, which numbered three. The Nagat revolver was really being phased out, but look at that. They built so many millions of those they couldn't throw them away and didn't want to. You have the Broomhandle Mauser, which we bought tons of those for how long, and then the Tokarev pistol, and then after that the Makarov. But initially it would have been the Tokarev pistol or the Broomhandle. Then you have a submachine gun, the Peppierche 41, Peppierche 43. And then you were supposed to have... Uh oh, hold on here. Then, though they never filled that niche for the longest time, they were supposed to be an assault rifle. And they did. That was the AK eventually. But then you jumped up to the SVD... Well, no, before the SVD, the Tokarev rifle, semi-auto. And then you had the standard infantry rifle, short-carbing or standard rifle. None of those were thrown away after the Cold War. And in fact, even at the end of the Cold War, while yes, the AK was out there, it wasn't just going to regular troops. And it was the envy of everybody in the Eastern Bloc. And quietly, it was very perturbing to everybody on our side because, as we used to say, the only problem of the AK-47 is that the Russians make it. That was... You're mentioning all of these different types of weapons. I have to tell you something, I usually listen to your recommendation on buying books and things and I've never been disappointed at all, but you are an evil person, sir. My Smith's Small Arms of the World came in today and I dang near got a hernia picking that book up. I got the hardback. That thing is massive. If that thing fell on your foot, it would break your foot before the information in that thing. It's the Granger manual. That's that big big. But yeah, great book. One of the things too is that if you, there are different editions and if yours, I don't know which one you might have gotten, but if you get through these, it may have, depending on which printing it is, He added an excellent history of the encapsulation and the strategic reserve machinery for putting the Garand's, carbines, and M14s into reserve, into storage. And it is a photo essay. You may or may not be on the one you have, but it's a photo essay showing you the machinery and the progressive mummification of the components of the rifles. And most important is there's always a lot of fiction about what they did with the guns. And yes, they were barrels. They were barrels that they put the guns in. But there were specific made containers depending upon which cycle of the Strategic Reserve Initiative program the guns were mummified in. And what's fascinating about this is, again, once you see this, understand, don't picture rifle racks with guns rusting. That never happened. That never happened with any of our strategic reserve storage. So when Bill Clinton intentionally destroyed 10 million plus American firearms to try and disarm the American military to destroy our reserve, when he did that, they had to go find them in the caverns they were stored in. They had to load them up in trains, they took them down to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and they came in at 90 to 110 cars at a time in the coffin, the torpedoes. The one model looks like a photon torpedo from Star Trek. And in fact, that image is in, that's in the book, I'm pretty sure it is. But the barrels, this is why what the government did is way back in the day, they were still getting rid of guns when they'd find a pile of stuff somewhere that they forgot they stored. The policy was to take them out to Lake Michigan on the Chicago side and roll them out about a couple miles and still seeing shore in most cases, not even a mile in some cases, and they would dump the barrels right into the lake. Now they also did that in Lake Erie in three different locations One thing about Lake Erie in the bottom of Lake Michigan ain't that deep Not only that it's got a good sandy bottom Not only that but if you're a wise patriot you start doing surveys of the area Eventually those barrels can be found and in freshwater guys those barrels don't break down and those barrels were I Remember when we talked about this when Don was alive And we were desperate. Go out and swim off a boat. Can't remember. Right. The thing is that they also did this with handguns and rifles and shotguns all out of Chicago and also out of Detroit and Canada. Mostly out of Detroit and Toledo. And interestingly enough, most of those things aren't there anymore, at least the ones that could be found. But what's neat about the strategic containers, guys, they were airtight, and like I've told you before, there are three layers of container protection before you even get to the mummified gun. So unless something, and it's not salt water, it's also dropped down deep enough, it's not in real bright light, And the lakes, even though they're a little clearer than they used to be for, you know, in the last several years, they're a little cleaner, they're still so well preserved that there is barely a patima of rust on the outside surface. And this is true of guns. A lot of the handguns that we've recovered from the depths like that, I guess the way to describe it is it's almost like they were finished or made with that self-rusting steel. where it gets, if you know, if you're familiar with that, they were pushing buildings on that, you know, what was it, back in the 70s. Pre-rusted, it's designed to rust in place, you don't finish it. Problem is if you're at the bottom of it where the rain drips off and you have cement, you get this rust line wherever the water drains. But what's interesting about it is that it actually was a finer patima than that. So fine it was like the finest grit of a very, very, very, very, very fine emery cloth. And the whole, all the surfaces, nothing pitted, just if there was wood, now the wood would break down, only because it was in slightly shallower water. A lot of these things got dumped in 35 to 50 feet, which is nothing for diving. 35 to 50 feet, easy dive, quick rope, everything gets, you know, scraped up or pulled up. And what's interesting though, with those steps. Hey Mark. Go ahead, caller. You can finish that real quick. Okay, the thing is, in the shallower depth, in Michigan's Great Lakes, wood ships survive intact. Okay, literally like you see in the old cartoon pirate vessels. But what I thought was fascinating is wooden grips on handguns that were in shallower depths like that did not. Just a little higher elevation than the deeper shipwrecks which are in like 80 feet, 110 feet of water. They're deep enough that wrecks from the War of 1812 are still resting in Lake Erie. They usually sink and go right down on their body like they were resting above the water. They look like they could be pulled up, pegged back together and sailed. And so just to give you an idea, we're not talking saltwater and for whatever reason, the combination of factors are critical. And the only thing you gotta be aware of is know your containers. Because there's a lot of other things that government dumped into Great Lakes. You're just supposed to know about it. Remember, one of the things they tried to do to scare everybody away from these is, well, they dumped nuclear waste from the Fermi plant. It's like, okay, I know people who ran the Fermi plant. They're lying. They didn't do that. We know people who run Fermi and the people who built Fermi and people who ran it for years afterwards in fact they were there for the big accident where you have the book, you know, we almost lost Detroit and Even though I'm sure that some of the skank government management that were with the OI boys Wanted to dump stuff in the Great Lakes and probably did to some point We know that they didn't do that from the Fermi facility Okay, so immediately that's one of those that tells you that they realized, oh man, there's a bunch of stuff out there we don't want the people to get because it just disappeared. It just go out into the battle, into the order of battle, which is exactly what happened. Anyway, go ahead, caller. Jump in there, please. I had a quick question. Let me start out with, I'm trying to move so I don't have enough money to get an upgrade for my rifle. I have an AR, with the civilian version of the M4. I tried getting the 20 inch but they were sold out before I could afford it, so I ended up having to go with the embroidery. But I have a Vietnam era bayonet, and I was wondering if you have a bayonet for a 16 inch rifle where the bayonet only goes about halfway out, is it still worth trying to use it or would it be better to just use the rifle as a glum? What are your opinions on that? Oh, well, there's a couple of tricks. Okay now that's a good point because you see for years a lot of guys wanted the M4 to look more like a car 15. That's where the idea for the M4 came from and they made a flash hider. First of all, it's not going to bring the blade out any farther, but to help to stabilize it, they made a long car 15 type flash hider that rested the thread rested deeper into the body from the site end. I think it was what, about two inches, three inches. And what it did is when you screwed it on, it went back over as a shroud over the barrel. And what it did is it offered a little better support when you fixed the bayonet on board. It would just meet when you lock the bayonet, it would just make it. Now, the flash hater where the end of the barrel was would really only be as long as the flash hater normally would be. But because of those psionics flash hiders for the car 15, remember there was a flash hider at the end, and it was basically the size of a basket cut for a standard M16 A1 flash hider. But what the company did, and they were out of Tennessee, it's one of those that I believe Choke picked up. the company but they made this deep deep deep deep flash hater so when you looked at it initially if it didn't have the bayonet on it it looked like more like a car 15 even though it was an optical illusion but what that did is it helps to support the bayonet more efficiently when it's fixed to the gun personally I would if I had to look at some close-quarter combat I like the idea of the blade even if I have to use it just as a cross blade It's only going to give you a little pokey sticky on an angle, but the big thing is that it is still sharp object and you can prick and poke people with it. Plus, if you know, there's a technique that the, I hate the Israelis, I really do, I hate the bastards. They came up with this, oh look we invented this martial arts system with the M16. And you know they're showing people how to bridge. It's called bridging. It's where you're holding the rifle. And I described it in Battle for the Republic. I actually explained this before I saw the garbage you're doing now. They're claiming that the Israelis are like the Russians used to be, which by the way, it was probably the Jewish Russians that did this all the time. We invented Well, what they've done is they've stolen all the martial arts training we used to be taught with our rifles and they're claiming that the Israelis invented this whole system. Well, if you have that bayonet on the rifle and you turn and bridge, remember I talked about this, you take, if you're standing there, somebody comes at you from an oblique out of a door, you're in a hallway. You don't have time to turn the gun sideways. So what you do, there's two techniques. One is to just hold the rifle the way it is and push it sideways right into their face. Now, the other technique, which again is still probably more efficient, is if you're, and if you have time to think about it, and if you're taught, or if you work at it, is you pivot the gun sideways, you bridge them, and then if you had that bayonet on board, even if it's on an M4, what you do is you sweep sideways and step back. Remember, a combination of footwork and handwork. And what you do with the bridging is you crush teeth, you bust up the jaw, you break the nose, maybe you hit the bridge of the eye socket on one side or the other, and the objective is to create really monstrous stun pain. Now you can do that even to a body. If you bridge, if you're holding the weapon, let's say you're holding it, you're moving, you're standing there even, just moving down a hallway or standing in a hallway, all of a sudden there's something to your right. What you do is you make sure again your legs hopefully are spread apart, you know, halfway, you know, a normal distance or, you know, shoulder width. Then you turn, you pivot, you thrust like you're doing a push-up sideways. And what you do though is you strike hard and recover. And if need be, strike again. And if you have to, you can just typewriter it. One, two, three, four. But your better technique, if they had that blade, is you strike. Then you step back with your right leg you angle the weapon and you bring it to the throat or across the side of the face right where the eye is or across the cheek and you drag And then you think about how that would work it works much better than a club Okay, almost like half sorting at that point Exactly. And again, you're supposed to do this even if the bayonet is in the normal station. This is one of many techniques that they used to teach everybody. Well, they got everybody stupefied. It's kind of like the public fool system moved over into the military the same way. You know, the mission from whoever is manipulating our government and trying to dumb everybody down. Most of this has not been taught to any degree at all, so they're clueless unless they experiment. Well, then all of a sudden somebody sideways wants to invent something new, in this case the Israelis. And so now we're seeing all this stuff that was the norm for bayonet drill, not just with the M16, but way before that, the carbine, the grand, the M14, or the Springfield. I was taught all of that. Well, actually, the only good thing is I was taught part of that because the teachers I had were individuals who were from World War II or from the Korean War. And in the Korean War, the guy said, if you don't think this works, trust me, when you're up to your eyeballs in Chinese, you get to test everything. Yeah, and that's where again like they said, you don't have time to move. You know, my two of my uncles are in Korea. Two of well, not two, three, four. Four of my survival escape and invasion instructors, well, two of them were in World War II and Korea. And every one of them said the same thing about Korea. They don't know how many people they killed. They would tell you that. I really don't know how many people I killed. That just gives you a testimony to when we talk about being up to your eyeballs in Chinese. They were up to their eyeballs in Chinese. And because of that, just like you said, if you don't have a plan in advance, if you aren't thinking ahead about how you're going to fight, then you're not going to win. So you already have to make decisions about what you're going to do, and you have to understand what your weapon's capable of. What can it handle? Okay. This is another thing, you know, thank you for bringing this up. See, we talk about not abusing your firearm, okay, but there are times when you have to use your weapon, keyword weapon, in whatever way is necessary. Now, we're not talking about using it for a stinking crowbar because you're an idiot, you don't know how to walk over to the vehicle and find the crowbar that's strapped to the side of the APC or stuck in the back of the pickup truck. We're talking about the idea you're in a brawl. One nice thing about military arms, martial arms, is they're actually geared towards that. So the advantage of many of the martial arms, which is why they're good for carrying in the field, for the kind of environment we're talking about, is that if we get really close, using them as a club, using them as a shish kebab spear, using them as a cross blade weapon with weight, all of this comes in really handy. And the M16 is a lighter rifle, so anything you can do to give it a little benefit is nice. You'll notice one of the things they did. You don't need a bayonet, but they're putting pokey, sharpie things on the flash hiders, aren't they? Anybody notice that? So what's that for? Oh, it causes thrust pain. You've got those little scallops. Oh, you can use it for stabilizing the gun on a piece of wood to blow something out if you're trying to knock a hinge or something. But that's not really what it's only for. It's designed to cause more shock pain trauma with blunt force. If you don't have the ability, you can, you know, again, you can't quite get the muzzle around, but you can get it there where you jam that sucker in the head when he's coming around the corner. Maybe you're in the bad situation where you just emptied the magazine. That sharp pointy object comes in handy. It ain't very big on the end of a flash hider, so figure this out. The bayonet probably does even more damage, doesn't it? See, for everybody out there listening, just think about it. Well, it's really bad, you don't need a bayonet. Boy, but we gotta put these scallops on the flash hider so you got a sharp pokey thing on the end of your gun. Now, since I'm gonna put a sharp pokey thing on the end of my gun, and if I had to use it for a sharp pokey thing, let me point out that probably I won't get the magazine back in in time. You know what I mean? In other words, so this is where the bayonet will reach if I have the bayonet properly affixed. or if I have it affixed even with that M4 shorter configuration, I can still get some really hellacious cuts, thrusts, and thrashes in there in addition to still using the weapon to, you know, to again, soft tissue damage or basically pain point damage to the aggressor. Go ahead, Collar. You might be mobile. You're dragging it across the microphone there. Go ahead. Oh, sorry. One more quick question. I'm, this is Will from Florida by the way, I'm actually trying to move to West Texas. Okay, two quick questions about that. One, my gear has primarily been tailored toward North Florida. Am I going to need to heavily change my camouflage pattern or will Woodland and OD Green be decent enough in West Texas? Oh, it'll work without any problem. Woodland's actually not a bad pattern for this part of the country like West Texas. You know, like if you're looking at terrain, if you're in North Florida, you probably have red soil, right? It's a lot of clay, yeah. You've got red range. That's the only thing is your base color underneath. The one thing you can add to Texas It's like Michigan is the same thing. Depending on where you are, the only thing you do is have a seasonal color change up because as you just saw, Texas gets that cold front from the north even though it was unique. You still get brown out. And I'll tell you, one of the color sets that works really well is both there, Michigan, any of the places where you have color change up is the five color chocolate chip. The A-tax and the brown, and strangely enough, another one that works really well is the Swiss Alpine Flush, because then it sounds weird, but in fact it would work well in Georgia too. They just only make, they didn't make as much lighter weight camo. Now you wouldn't use it all the time, but you got to remember, we got a lot of wash, and like in the south, you get a lot of erosion, and you, there's a lot more like russet there than you would think. In Michigan, in the fall, the Swiss Alpine Flauge, and out west it's the same way. The Swiss Alpine Flauge is a predator uniform. You virtually disappear. So different patterns, obviously, like your question, work, but Woodland works well enough everywhere you're going to go. It wasn't designed to be the do-all pattern. The Army always seems to claim that. But it works pretty well if you got, say, down south more into the, more and more into the desert. Then I'd be going more browns, more tans, and more grays simply because, again, that's most of the season. And again, you do have desert. You literally have sand. You have blowing, drifting dunes and such. Not big, but enough. The other thing there is add some more cold weather gear, but that's not hard to do. In fact, the big thing is if you've already got outer clothes, it's just a matter of layering. And Texas still, this is what gets me about what they just did with this thing with Texas. Texas was a mismanagement intention. It was intentional. There was no accident to the power problem they had because basically now that I find, what I find out is Texas power is not run by Texas, it's run by Germany. Now guys, anytime you have a foreign power who already has cooperated with or people from a foreign country that has already cooperated with the globalists and our globalists, why would you expect them to not betray you? Does everybody understand that? So Texas shouldn't be talking about who made the booby mistake locally. Texas should be talking about why is Texas hiring an outside foreign country government's business to run anything in the United States? especially in Texas. And if Texas wants to be free and independent, you mean they don't send people to college? They don't have businesses in Texas that know how to run and manage something as stupid simple as the electrical grid? See, so just adds up on that one. I get pissed at that. But again, Because of that, they made it sound like, oh my god, we've never seen cold weather in Texas, look at this! Oh, I hate to tell you, and I've talked about this forever, but I'm always fascinated by topography and geography. And guys, if you look, Texas is the toilet end, no I'm not saying Texas is the toilet. But if you look at Flush, okay, you got the Mississippi River on the east. You have the great Rockies on the west. And then you have a thing that starts all the way up in Canada. And it's called the Great Plains. Now, these lines run north-south pretty much, right? Mississippi starts out way up in the top of the nation, all the way up to Canada almost, and it goes all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. And then we got the Rockies, and they go all the way up into Canada, and they come all the way down over on Ida, Texas there, and a little beyond. Well, what happens with these polar pushes, which we get bigger versions of, or give me smaller versions up every year, okay, every year, what happens is the stuff comes, well, hold on here a second. The stuff comes down from the north with us in Michigan over Lake Superior and it hits us in Michigan every year. I talk about it on the air. Guess what? The same damn thing happens in Texas every year. It's just a varying degree. They always get cool air and wind and in fact dynamic weather that comes all the way from Canada and hits every year. But if you have a public fool system that's lying its ass off and the public fool system is designed to create a bunch of stinking drama queens, you, the end result is what you just saw here combined with treachery by scaldugorous government people who should have known better and do. Now otherwise... Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm recently getting out of high school when I can attest to this. Yeah, well, the thing that gets me about this... is again, it's a known. I was stationed in Fort Lost in the Woods, Missouri. That's on the west side of the Mississippi. Its name, its moniker is Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, also known as Fort Lost in the Woods, Little Korea. Why is it called Little Korea? Guys, if you're sitting there and you're a Korean vet, or you were stationed in Korea during the long war we've had with Korea for 70 years now, okay, we've been at war with Korea for 70 years and we never stopped. If you've been on that border, you tell everybody what Korea's like in the winter, and then you tell everybody what Korea's like in the summer. It's just like lost in the woods misery. You freeze your ass off in sub-zero weather during the winter and during the summer it makes your hind end with humidity that goes right through the roof like you're in the bottom of Florida. It is damp, dark woods. Okay, that's why they call it Little Korea. That's why they did send a lot of troops that went to Korea through Leonardwood intentionally. During the Korean War of course they didn't care they threw you through anything they could because they were throwing the cannon fodder into that BS war as quick as possible But Korea, but but Leonard wood was the optimal location Because it was the most replicant of the Korean Peninsula now That's part of the Great Plains corridor I just told you about and they get sub-zero weather. Well you look on the map. Where's where's Missouri? How far is that from Texas? In fact, I believe Missouri is closer to Texas than it is to Canada. And there's all the other real estate down below and in between that is just as bad. Okay, or can be. So, the thing is, no matter where we are, in Texas, like in many of the other states, also is rated as desert. The west is not completely desert, but it's dry. New Mexico is desert. Arizona is desert. Well, if any of you know the desert, even if you have a regular season, in fact, even if you're there in the summer, you have to carry warm weather gear for what? At night. Oh, that's right, because if you don't think about the desert soon as the temperature drops off, there's nothing to retain the heat and you drop anywhere from 20 to 30 degrees and even more from sunlight activity to the end. We're going to go to break. We'll be back in a minute here. God bless the Republic. Death to the new world, Woodward. When the Empire's on the run. We are on the mark for day and night. Hoorah. No matter where we go again, good point. Good question to ask. What should I wear? First of all, again, get into the area. The basic equipment you got is still going to work. OD Green works everywhere. That's the first rule. Remember that. OD Green, I buy all of it, I can't. And then in the other patterns, I'll adjust it accordingly. But you always have a green season where the woodwind is going to work really well. And then in brownout season, it works OK. We're going to go to break. We're going to be back. Weapons Wednesday. For everybody out there, guys, stay right where you are. It is the middle of the two-hour block. If you get corners, bash them in the head. That seems to work out. Keep together, stay sharp, and follow me. It's part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt. protect yourself and the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. Dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We fought a revolution to cure 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. 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 attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. This number, you trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'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 to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As Iowoc, 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 trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? And remember your training, and you will come back alive. And the woman gets dragged away by the bug into the tunnel. Why? Because she forgot her training. And she did not come back alive. Starship Trooper, remember the Klendatu landing. Play good. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report time, Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, Northeast, Southeast, and ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio and Satellite and we're 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 freestanding and separate from the conventional internet and look what's been happening. Thank God we did that. Anyway, it is 506... oh, forgive me, 606 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I keep losing hours. It's 606 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is the... oh, that's right, the third year. Oh, no, third day of March these days are like years. The third day of March, it is the 13th year of open Fabian, socialist, and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 old earth calendar. 2021 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. before we go too far away from uniforms and camouflage the biggest problem as i've mentioned right now is it ain't the uniform so much as the pants that are biting in the butt who part of the pond with regard to price if you look at this you can find some phenomenal blouse prices uh... for what you know for camouflage woodland a tax uh... everything i'd go right down the list if i cherry pick all over the country The stuff in the tops are there, but the bottoms, the pants, they want outrageous prices by comparison for. And you'll notice that while the tops have come down too, I can buy ABU tops in big sizes for $5 apiece brand new. I can find, if you look through militaryclothing.com or if you go through even sportsmansguide.com, Major surplus. Look at what's available. Cops, no problem. Bottoms, oh, again, probably the most affordable is either going to be if you can find some OD grain, the cheapest will probably be Swedish in real surplus, but everything else is at top-end retail, even, I mean the minimal cost ones, are top-end retail price by what has been the norm for decades. And this is not going to be going away. So for everybody out there, pants of any kind that you can find in oaty green, brown, gray, and fatigue pants. And they don't have to be a military contract. They can be dockers or whatever, but start building up a pants. I've always told you, the closer you get to the ground, the more wear and tear. Footwear is going to be a big problem. Pants are the next thing to go. Upper, the way from the ground, even though you might roll around a little bit. The idea is that the lower end of your gear is what takes the beating. Now the only good thing about that is if you're using knee pads or knee armor and you know other armor nowadays and even gators that you can spare your pants a certain amount of wear and tear but it's just the nature of the battlefields. The nature actually everyday work. So pants are the issue. You can do a comparative study. Go over to Sportsman's Guide, punch in surplus Look at the prices. Then punch in surplus shirts or surplus tops or surplus uniform tops. And you'll get a number of, actually probably say shirt because if you say tops, you'll end up with the t-shirts and everything else. So you want to minimize. But you can easily compare. If you look for like you find, I mentioned ATACS, I've run into ATACS tops for as little as $3 to $5 a shirt. regular mill spec, but the pants, oh they're in what we would call stupid price mode. Seriously, it's like, so again, the one reason for getting the OD green or the gray or the brown pants and extras is that even if you can't get the camouflage lower, remember match up the color that makes sense for the terrain or area where you are and that's what you utilize with your camouflage top. Understand too that for the longest time we didn't really have camouflaged pants in the inventory so much as most armies just had what was called either an assault smock or a battle blouse in a camouflage for the area of operation or for the special unit that you might be a part of. You still wore your basic fatigue uniform top and bottom underneath that assault smock. And that's how they issued the camouflage out. The camouflage has been pricey. Today we're full circle because China undermined as much of the American industry as they could in every category. Now that they've killed most of the American manufacturing, Trump is gone. That's one thing that was happening to a degree is at least some of the American companies had a breather. Well, the Chinese owned, you know, pedophile in the outhouse in Washington has done everything to destroy any little recovery that took place. And that's why the clothing has gone price-wise where it is. It's not made here, that's the problem. It's not made here in most cases at all. Sorry about that. So just on a closing note, it's always good, watch the yard sales, watch the estate sales. I actually picked up my best buy in heavier pants and clothing at estate sales last year, more so than anywhere else. Battle shorts, six pocket shorts, which are in vogue right now or have been for a decade. What's great is these people never wear this stuff out. Estate sale, you think they're gonna abuse their clothing? No. So you can find some pretty good stuff, coats, undergarments, combat sweaters, camouflage, and get it for little or nothing. So take advantage of that. And always watch sales and clearance with all of the industry. That's really important. On to other things real quick, little benchmark. I noticed this when I was perusing the gun pages here in the last day or two, but Center Fire Systems and their handguns actually have a pretty good selection right now, though nothing's cheap. And two things popped out here just for nostalgia purposes on my part. They actually have two, well, they do have a .45 that's a match, so I guess really all the guns I shot are here. But they are offering apparently more than one Smith & Wesson Model 52 and 38 Special. If you're not familiar with that, basically it is the Smith & Wesson Model 59, well actually it's closer to the 39 in terms of a straight inline magazine, rimmed cartridge semi-automatic pistol. Yes, a semi-automatic pistol and 38 Special. Now, this gun was a tack driver, and still is, I am sure, and was designed, again, for competition purposes. It is in 38, used 38-wad cutter or semi-wad cutter. You could use both either. But the gun itself, let's see, they want $1,150 for one of those now. And they may have more than one. They do show that they have more than one, which I'm rather surprised. I'm trying to figure out if these were government guns, if these were government stamped, if these didn't go to a police department or went overseas and then have come back into the US as surplus. Because, well granted, they could even be a new gun, which I don't think so. If they are, they're supposed to be in decent shape as used guns, but $1,150, everybody goes, well, that's kind of high for a Oh, just a regular handgun. Well, it's a collector's item. Again, the gun came out as a match king solution. I would use it in one third of the shooting that I would do in national match competition. And it served me well. I never had a malfunction. Here's what's funny. You'd think, well, it's a rim-fire gun. Never had a malfunction with that weapon. Not in training, in practice. And I would shoot up to 500 rounds a day. I could easily burn 500 rounds a week without any problem. But they were trying to give me ammunition just by the creek. I've explained this many times. I hit that window perfectly. They had ammunition. They just couldn't give enough of it away. So I would end up with being able to burn a case of 500 rounds at 38 or 1,000 rounds at 38 in a week, factory loaded, just round up all the brass. And they didn't really care to have it back. But I'd round the brass up, and the nature didn't go to waste. Yeah, Mark, I experienced the same thing. I was at the rain shooting with some military boys, and when they left, they left me half a dozen bricks at 22. Go room up, Mark. Got to use them. Well, that gets me to the next gun that they have listed here. If you look in the scroll, they have the Smith & Wesson Model 41. in the seven inch barrel. That was my 22 competition gun. And I'll tell you what, that was a tack driver. It's the operator that makes it miss, not the gun. The gun itself, absolute singer sewing machine. And again, they want $1,250 for this particular weapon in the seven inch. And look at the sea. Top of the line, rimfire pistol and is used by the national level competitors. There we go. Well, that's us. Features of precision, button rifle barrel, adjustable target. Doesn't say that this is a used gun though. So we're looking maybe at a new manufacturer or new manufacturer old inventory. I know they still have made them on occasion because I used to deal with Smith as a distributor. And Smith would call you up and say, hey, we'll offer, they would offer the guns that were available. You didn't just call Smith up and say, hey, I want about 10 of these and five, oh, no. You had to wait and beg. You had to get in line. And if you said no, they didn't care because the next guy in line to buy the gun, if not the next one after that. So they just come, they call you in the morning and read off what they had. And you told them what you wanted or what they offered. And there are probably 10 people before you that got the real nice goodies before you did. Colt was the same way. But in this case, this is a beautiful, I mean, it's one of the One of the smoothest actions of its type for what it does, but also in the seven inch barrel again at the 50 yard mark, you keep all those groups right inside half a dime all day. There's no reason not to. And so again for personal, I mean granted not many people are going to carry, is a personal carry weapon. But for a defender gun, it would be something hurtful if you got it pointed at you. Your survivability rating wouldn't be very high, because the person who probably knows how to use it could put it right in your eyeball, okay? Literally. But it is 22. However, good gun, and again, just like I said, nostalgia for me. Those are the two. Two out of the three. The third being a national match, 1911, fully built. all the bells and whistles and you know constantly babied by the armors of the division so I had what I wanted to basically work with and then it's a matter of my proficiency not the gun itself the guns never failed me I have to say this too that Smith and Wesson Model 41 never malfunctioned except for one time and it had nothing to do with the gun we were at a competition in Fort Riley, Kansas And they brought in Smith Winchester ammunition and it was not match ammo. In fact, it was generic box Winchester ammo. And everybody went to the, everybody loaded up, everybody got ready for the cycle. Ready on the left, ready on the right, ready on the firing line. Fires mark your lanes and the targets turn. And what happened is almost, it was out of the first relay of 50, there was 100 in the relay overall, but the first relay of 50, because of the startup, everybody had an alibi. Everybody had a malfunction. It had nothing to do with the gun. The ammunition, that batch of ammunition was oversized or there was something going on. It was desensitized with the primer powder for the rim. So what happened is they ended up having to slow down and delay the relays because if you have an alibi you get to reshoot for the rounds malfunctioning rounds. So this bollocks the schedule up. Well immediately everybody and everybody that had a brain had jumped to get it, reached into their wallet, grabbed 30, 40, 50 dollars and told them go get whatever match ammunition is at the local gun shops. Grab me two, three hundred rounds or five hundred rounds, whatever they got. And everybody did it at the same time. We cleared out all the local gun shops of all their Eli and all of their even Remington. Didn't make any difference what it was. As long as it was standard round-nose long rifle. And everybody set all that Winchester off to the side and started shooting the match with competition, ammunition, or whatever they could find to get the job done. And that was not the fault of the gun. That was the ammunition that was available and it was a Winchester production run. We found out later that they had been told to recall it, but they didn't want to do the paperwork, so they just tried to run it through the system. Problem, they didn't do it for training, they did it for competition and national match relay. And that really pissed a lot of shooters off who were working towards the President's 100. That really, really, really pisses you off, okay? So anyway, these guns are phenomenal, but I never had that weapon malfunction with anything but that incident with the .22. Never would that .38 Smith & Wesson. And I fired many, many, many, many, many, you know, with nauseous repetition, many, many, many rounds, and I never had that thing malfunction or jam on me in any way. Now, the 1911, same thing, but that's guaranteed pretty much. That's singer sewing machine time there. So heads up. Again, typically it's going to be as I've warned you, it's ammunition. And that's why ball is still your best choice. Just like when you're looking at trying to keep a whole group of people on a range shooting, you need consistency in production. Okay, but beyond that, if you try to use consistent but a unique round that maybe some of these guns have never seen, remember that that in and of itself can take part of your fighting force offline. and where it counts, where your life is at risk, if your gun uses specialized rounds because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it And so the ball ammo, I don't care if it's rifle, pistol, whatever it is, ball is base. And then all the rest are, you know, as needed, use them or use it because it makes sense for the weapon that you're carrying. Personal handguns are a little separate category from the rifles anyway, but hey, maybe my friend's gonna say, throw me, you know, you got a .45 mag, I need a mag, I need a mag. Well, you throw him seven rounds in a standard government mag, but it's a unique hollow point of some kind. His gun will probably shoot, he'll have to keep reintroducing the mag and dumping the round maybe here and there, but you really would prefer that that not happen. Okay? So ball ammunition is still your base first choice in fighting ammunition simply for the sake of simplicity and safety, reliability and survivability. Just what you're looking at there. I heard some noise. Do we have a caller? Don't want to leave anybody out. Okay, very good. I do have a question. On that 38 automatic Smith, it seems to me, I've never shot one, but it just seems to me an absolute uniform taper of the case and crimp of the mouth would be about the most important thing for its appeal. What interest? Well, what's interesting about the 38 is that it was designed for match or for target ammo. And so the way it's throwed, the way the barrel is throwed, and the way it's ramped, it was absolutely designed for the 38 standard target load. So standard 158 grain semi-wad cutter goes through it like a Singer sewing machine. WOD cutter goes through it amazingly enough think about that WOD cutter is flat face Right to the the end of the case the most of the the better ammunition has a slight curl to the end of the case you know kind of like the way way it would crimp into a cantilever and Again, what's amazing is the reliability of the gun now the reason I bring it up about throaty the barrel is because you see that's how you settle the problem of the 1911 with WOD cutter loads You throw the barrel, you clean that up and then step it and then in addition to that you polish the feed ramp. And that eliminates any possibility of divoting in the process. What's amazing to me is the rim fire end doesn't hang up. You know what I mean? 38 Specials are rimmed cartridge guys. And the first time I looked at that they said, well you want to take one of these? I said, well what is it? Well, it's a Model 52, and I'm looking at it, it's like, well, what, okay, well, what is it? In other words, what does it do? It was, oh, it's a .38 Special Automatic. You know, I looked at it, he's looking at me like he's waiting for me to say something, you know, strange. I said, well, okay, I'll throw it in, I'll take one of those. Because when you're issued out the weapons, you have a battery of guns you can pick. It's kind of like, you know, face, plasma rifle, 40 watts range, Oozie, 9mm, Qavian, spas-twill shotgun. Well, it's the same when you're picking up match pistols depending on what you want to shoot. And back in the day, we had a wider selection, I think, than they do now. But, well, they did, because we had that gun, for instance, as an option. And I didn't have to register, especially register that gun. If I wanted to use the .38 Model 52, There was no special identification or inventory in using that on the same match cycle as a 45-1911 or any of the other military arms that were qualified for that. Which back then, you could still use a Model 1917 N-frame in a Smith or a Colt. Now, I don't know if they can still do that. But understand that they could tune a Smith and Wesson end frame or a Colt end frame right up to parallel with a 1911. And the armorers that were in there in the 70s that I knew were more than willing, they had a complete parts inventory there. Just because it was left over stuff and when they built up these military vans for maintenance, they carried everything for any of the standard arms that they could have parts for. And because the rules dictated that there wasn't any restriction as long as it was a martial arm, well, the US government bought that Smith & Wesson Model 52, qualifying it for martial arms competition. So that's how it ended up. A lot of guys shot to the top of the inventory, top of the competitions with a Model 52. It's just the 45 was so dominant and when it came to fixing it, eventually, needless to say, the longer they have it in service, the Model 52 is a minority gun. So not everywhere you go, if you were on the range, you could walk back and say, hey, I need you to check this out, I've got this glitch going on. Well, if you threw him a 1911, it wouldn't make any difference what year it was. He'd turn around and have the thing rebuilt, literally tuned back up for you in about half an hour. Again, I would carry up to three 1911s in competition. I'd have two backups always there because just in case, but I never had a 45 fail me. Go ahead, jump in there. Yeah, probably 20 something years ago, I went to a bond shop in Ocean Springs and I don't think I got a high standard 22 in there. I think it must have been one of the base models since it didn't have the big down button. But on the slide it's marked US government property. Oh, yeah, I've never seen another one No, high standards. We could I could have picked a high standard instead of a Smith Actually at that time I could have picked a high standard the Smith and what does the other one? I don't want to say Ruger but Rugers work really well. They're just grew to buy comparison Oh, come on, what was the other gun high standard? I want to say Stevens there was Oh, it was becoming the minority gun at the time. I think it was the Stevens. And basically, oh no, no, it was a Browning. Forgive me, it was a Browning, semi-auto. Yeah, it was a Browning. Because the Browning's have pretty lines too, but the Smith to me look like a, you know, again, looks like a Model 52 or a Colt made out of Taffy. For those of you who don't have, or you're listening to radio, when I reference these guns, the Model 41 is basically a semi-automatic 22 caliber pistol, looks like a stretched out long slide 1911, but thinner, like more feminine in some ways. The Model 52 basically looks like the Smith & Wesson Model 39. In fact, if you just lay down the table and somebody looked at it, they go, oh, Model 39 Smith, I haven't seen one of those in a while. No, it's something else. And at that time, now I would point out, because after during the middle of Vietnam, the Smith & Wesson Model 39 had been in limited adoption for research and development purposes. and some air crew personnel were carrying it. It was an air weight, it was an aluminum frame. Oh, somebody's asking Smith and Wesson Model 52s, no, they're not air weight, those are all steel. Those are an all steel firearm. So in that respect, yeah, a little different there. Now, I don't know, they might've made some of the 52s and air weights also, but a very comfortable handgun, very well balanced. The 41 with a seven inch is gonna have a little forward lean. But remember you're trying to keep that barrel down for longer range so that way up front is kind of nice. And again, remember you're going to screw that gun in, extend your musculature, settle your skeletal frame, and as you squeeze, as you corkscrew that sight into position, line it up, and it should be one, two, three, four, five, and I'm slow. Five rounds, faster than I can count. And with everything resettling, resettling, musculature should all be lined up. You close your eyes, you find out where your non-stress point is, then you adjust your sight, your sight picture accordingly to line your arm up with the sight. Once you know what that is, there's a bunch of things I can't do on the air, I teach you very easily, but the idea is that you find the best rest point and it's not the same for each person. I've always said this a million times, and with regard to that, with competition shooting especially, you need to find your rest point for all of the parts of your body. And the first is to make sure that arm is not stressed excessively to the left or excessively to the right. You want to find that point where you can let one part of the skeletal structure work to the other. The musculature is balanced. There is a slight, just a slight, but not much. Just enough a little bit of give with regard to the elbow. But even there, you rest it on the lower part of the pivoting components of the elbow itself. That's how it works if you think it through. And then the upper forearm is of course working as a bridge that helps to keep everything stabilized. And when you pull that trigger, it should be a surprise and all five rounds will be there faster than I can say it. And if you do that, if everything works the way it's supposed to, here's what's fun. If you're in a hurry and you make a mistake and mess up because you were trying to catch up, you may have done something wrong during the cycle of the call to fire, you'll have a perfect group inside a dime. Unfortunately, it will be in the 8 ring. It can happen easily because you're focusing. It's automatic for most of it. We've talked about this before. Muscle memory and conditioning. Training, training, training. But what happens is you're not set properly and you miss it. Psychologically, for whatever reason, something may have distracted you. But your operation is still identical. So what will happen is you set up that X-ring, you know, that five round group in the X-ring or around the X, just move it sideways but it's all still there, one round on top of the other. Everything was done right but one step in your control process. But still a testimony to the rest of your work because the bullets did all hit approximately in the same area They weren't patterned all over the target, right? The the big thing here with all of these guns see it doesn't make any difference one of the reasons I was going to come over here to By the way where I've been talking off from is Center fire systems is because there was a gun somebody had asked me about before and they have them back in stock Here's the problem with it. It's a great little pistol really is It's the Chesca CZ-83. Now these things came into the country back in the Otts. Actually before that they came in back in the middle 90s, a little clutch of them and they were cheap. They were about $79 a piece. They are a staggered magazine 380 auto pistol. But they originally, they came in both 380 auto and in 9mm Russian. Okay. And macro. And because of that, the problem is, in 9mm macro, not a problem. 380 Auto, more of a problem and you know why, it's availability of ammunition. Back in the 90s, not too much of an issue. With the three different waves of gun ammunition buyouts, it has been an issue. But the gun itself is a staggered magazine, 380 Auto, 3.75 inch barrel gun, It is single and double action. It has all really nice features on it and right now they want over at Centerfire $320 apiece. That's still not bad, but there's a lot of other brand new pistols you can get for almost the same price if not a little less right now. When it came out and the wave before this back in the Otz, when these came in, they came in for about $129. And at $129, between $79 and $129, that's a good price for this gun. If you have one, I know I wouldn't get rid of it. The biggest thing is, like I warn everybody, it was a surplus pistol each time when it came in, needless to say. And the magazines that came in are basically all that came in. So if you didn't buy mags when the gun came in, you're going to find the stragglers that people want stupid price for, extreme price. If you're lucky, you'll find them sitting in little clutches here and there every once in a while. Gun shows or maybe even with different companies that have like in their sales and clearance, CDNN, sports, specializes in magazines. So with what people were asking before, the gun is a good weapon. It's comparable to the Beretta and the Browning Nacog, the Browning, the Cheetah. Remember, that's the one that's come out in surplus here not too long ago, the Beretta Cheetah. 380 Auto, beautiful little gun, they don't want way too much money for it right now used, but it's in that family and it's really if you compare the gun you see a lot of likenesses here. So it's I don't know if maybe the Czechs just had some cooperative work back in the day when this came out with the Browning and with Beretta because the Beretta and Browning guns are virtually cookie cutters of each other except for the usual telltale style marks that identify a Beretta for being a Beretta. Mechanically all the parts are almost, if not identical, are probably interchangeable parts, who knows, because back in the 70s there were some intercooperative products. I've never checked this gun out to see how close it is, but if you do have it, it's the Chesca CZ-83. If you got it and you got a bunch of ammo for it, or even if you can get more ammo for it, if you've got the mags and you got the gun, I'd stick with it. It's a large volume easy slide for the ladies to operate It's a nice out-of-the-way gun for a man size wise, but it does have a fistful of fury because it is a staggered magazine So it's got a little more firepower attached to it. Okay, and the neat thing about this is that again for what it is Well now price wise it's a little high and there are 12 round magazine capacity Which basically is the same as those cheetahs so you know and not cheetos cheetahs, okay? No, Cheetos. Of course, yeah, Chester the Cheetos. Oh, God. Yeah, I guess that's right, too. So anyway, 380 auto. It would be nice, I think, if they had some in Makarov, which I don't see, and the 380s were just as common. It was like 50-50 split, which one you'd run into. And they are both workable guns. And again, I will remind you, single and double action. So it has a lot of the features that most of you would be familiar with if you're looking at weapons from that era. you probably are familiar with, wouldn't have any problem operating. Okay. Now another thing is, I mentioned center fire systems. They got a bunch of other junk over there you might want to go through and take a look at handguns. They're digging through the barrels. You know what I mean? They're digging through the barrels around the country and a lot of different weird stuff is showing up that might be useful to a person who bought all those parts I was talking about. over the last couple of years where there was things showing up, they're like, where the hell did that come from? And so you never know what you're gonna run into, okay? And it's worth looking at. They don't have many handguns, but they do have some handguns. Centerfiresystems.com. I'm fascinated, like I said, with a bit of nostalgia, those two Smith guns are something I'm very familiar with. If I could get one today, I'd grab one today. Problem is I wouldn't, I'm sorry, if I, And to spend that kind of money, there's a lot of things I can spend that kind of money on though that would be, well, I have multiples of. Because today I'm looking at going to war, so I need multiples. So I'll spend less money and get multiples. That's just my attitude. I understand where we're going. We're going to be going through weapons. We're going to be having to hand weapons out. We're going to need more guns. On that note, one last thing from Centerfire. Real interesting if any of you are familiar with the Beretta Model 70 and dash 90. AR-70, they have kits and they're not that stupid price. There's $400 a piece. Go take a look at this because it does have most of the critical parts that are actually tougher to build. It was originally in 5.56 for those who aren't familiar with it. You've seen it in movies. Let's put it that way. You'd recognize it if you look at the whole gun Beretta AR-70-90. And the gun itself is very serviceable, just outrageously expensive when they had them out there on the market. A very small number came in semi-auto and they cut them off right away. But these are obviously the select fire weapons. But take a look at it because look, you've got the entire, like on the FN FALs, you've got the entire lower group intact. The critical group that has all the working parts. Is there plus the bolt plus you know, what's missing is the upper receiver and obviously the barrel We've talked about that before, you know, we don't do basic rule. They're good destroying the barrels Because it's a tough thing to replace you figure out what to do with a receiver But you got to make a barrel and really work to make a barrel and that's something your enemy Understands completely which is why they've been destroying them. Okay? Let's see we are Well, we're a little past the bottom of the hour, heading towards the end of this one, but not there yet. Another thing real quick, our caller mentioned, like, say, going from Florida to Texas, or say, Texas to Michigan, or Texas to any of the northern climate states, is there is a need not only to take into consideration the uniforms, but equipment and needles to say your weapon. We've talked about lubrication. There are advantages and disadvantages. You've heard us mention this several times about don't do sloppy. Even light oiling or lubrication may have to be backed off on in extreme cold weather just simply because it can create other gumming or retardation issues with operation. And since a lot of the guns you're building now, they're not worrying about how sensitive or how fragile the parts are, and I'm serious about that. Because of that, because they've thrown out some of the basic rules about interaction and density of material, which is really critical, you make smaller and tinier, it's easier for the cold and or the heat to permeate and penetrate through the very small parts. That's what you're really worried about, people. And tiny, tiny things and tiny, tiny parts or little intricate gobbledygook parts work fine in the laboratory. But when they get out into the real world and everything else is part of the real world interacts, then you have a bunch of other problems. And extreme cold, to give you an idea with metallurgy, the Finns learned this a long time ago. If you buy a Finnish velma like we're talking about, it is built for operation in the Arctic Circle. Well, I want you to go take a look at a map of Finland. How much of Finland is in the Arctic Circle? Oh, God, look at that. Yeah, go take a look at a map. It's kind of fun and everybody lives there But because of that because of the extreme weather which by the way, Texas had a little taste of here Well, we could go or so And so did the rest of the corridor north to south, right? That's normal weather for Finland, but it's also normal weather for most of the northern part of the United States Well, the Finns had to use different metallurgy to make sure that they could work through the extreme operating weather conditions and the normal weather temperatures for their battlefield and expected battlefield environment. For this reason, I've got to mention this while I've got time, the latte pistol. Now, a lot of these come out in surplus a couple of times, and right now there's a bunch of magazines cheap. If you have a latte pistol, Take advantage while you can. You should have 10 magazines for that gun, at least. 10 plus one in the magazine will. Why? I can go to JGSales.com. www.jgsales.com. Go over to the surplus section and they've got mags for six, seven dollars a piece. Maybe they're a little more expensive, maybe a little less right now. Most everybody has latte mags if they're a big surplus purchaser or a router. And if you look, you'll find they're not outrageously priced right now, not for the moment. Now they were higher in price only about four or five years ago. That's because we were in between that little surplus pulse we always talk about when the stuff comes in and the support stuff comes in. Right now, there's a little bit of the stuff that's good condition, serviceable, and military grade. Now there's other parts and pieces for the gun too. Okay, hold on just a second, caller. I got your voice. But one of the things you're going to remember is the latte was made for that subzero weather or cold conditions, and it responds differently in a warm environment. And this is something that we used to be warned about all the time when we were dealing with different weapons that certain countries produce with their steel weapons that really don't work or shouldn't be used as often in extreme warm weather. Or if you do, you've got to pay attention to what's going on with the pistol, especially with firing extractor and the ejector. Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. Yeah, I was just going to say how important that to stay hydrated. And you know, on our web gear, I mean, I carry two canteens. I'm an older guy and I've got to have that water. You know, you get nauseous, especially in this cold weather. Last Sunday I was out there tromping around in the woods. And we got a foot of snow up here. And I mean, that took effort. I mean, every 30, 40 steps, I have to stop. I got to stop and catch my breath. I hydrate so when I get in my shooting position, I hydrate. It's just so important, especially for older guys. Younger guys, well, I got four boys. They don't seem to drink anything, but... But we still got to keep an eye on them. You're absolutely right, because cold weather is where people miscalculate. And it's true. Hydration, well, think about it, your body's generating heat, your body is a nuclear furnace and is constantly compensating for the environment by the way that it registers. And so what happens, like you said, you're generating heat to stay warm, but the natural cycle dictates that the body has to breathe in the process. So we needless to say also work the radiator system. And this is where ventilation on the one side is especially critical and also rehydration in the process or you can get into dehydration mode just like you can in the middle of summer and in a deep winter situation. You're absolutely right there. Yeah and one other thing that maybe older guys whether they do it or not but you know the more water I drink the more I got to go. So all I'm going to do is You know, all I'm doing is slowing the group up, but that is, you know, you're always as fast as your slowest guys, so speed that whole process up. What goes in does go out. Hopefully you sweat it out before you have to worry about peeing it out. If you are, and that is a way to determine hydration issues though, because if you're not peeing as much, then that means the body has evacuated the moisture before it got through the digestive process. You know, it went through whatever part. And that becomes that... Go ahead. Well, I was just saying that that was a good point and everyone thought of that. That's right. If it doesn't come out, well, I must have sweated it out. Yep. Or the other thing is... Now, here's the other one is remember food processing. Remember, it's like doing. We're a still suit. The part about that too is that remember with litter foods you're typically eating more fats, you should be. You're also using all of the other rations or types of rations that usually are pretty absorbent. And the other reason you need to do the fuel, you need to do the water to go along with the fuel is because you don't need to be bound up. And that's the other reason for when you're going to military rations especially increasing water intake and remember they put coffee packs and they put tea bags in MREs or in military rations for a reason. That caffeine is a diuretic to compensate for slowing down the metabolism. So another reason why you need to drink water because the, well, I used to do that intentionally. I know that's not a, well, this is not a great subject. Yeah, it is. If you know you've got to work for three or four days and you can slow the digestive system down but still take in enough nutrients, In other words, the system is, you don't want to be bound up, but you balance it out. You do it in waves. I would do crackers and cheese, crackers and peanut butter, crackers and maybe it's splurge. And if you could stop for a minute, I'd open up a jelly pack and have some of the jelly on a cracker and peanut butter thing. Otherwise, the peanut butter was stuck, so I didn't have to lose it. It didn't get sticky all over me. And the cheese was the same way because it comes out like a squeezy brick, right? And then in addition to that, the cookies or the cakes were great. The crackers are protein. Remember, all the military rations used to be protein and vitamin fortified. So if you focused on the binder type foods and didn't eat the rest, it wasn't moving through the system as fast, which means you can focus more on other things. But your body is still going to eat, it's going to consume everything. There's all kinds of studies on this that are dull to read maybe for most people, but if you're trying to pay attention on how to stay alive, there are many, many accounts of almost levels of starvation or levels of starvation and how the body reacts. The body becomes more efficient once you get past what is the normal daily regimen that we're used to of excesses in food. The body naturally slows down and starts to truly consume everything. And like pee, not coming out as often. Same is true with defecating. I've mentioned this many times. If you ever read, don't watch them. The movies are okay. Bounty movies have actually been pretty close. The one with Mel Gibson was closer than most. But if you read Mutiny on the Bounty, it's three books. And if you read the book about Bly's trip across the Pacific, It is very much in detail because it was written by the doctor and by other individuals that were keeping a complete like full study of what happened to the crew. And that includes output, you know, input of food and what happens coming out the other end. By the time they were done at starvation level, basically they would take in so much but the body would only drop basically were like mouse or like Deer turds, little deer pellets. And it was something that he pointed out that the body was eating everything they would eat. If they captured a seagull, they would eat the bones, the guts, the eyeballs, the beak, everything. Everybody got a piece of it. And nobody got a select piece of it. They did that bullshit. That's the one thing I didn't like about the Mel Gibson movie. They lied. In all the reports by the men who kept a ledger of what happened with Bly's operation, When he was in charge of that boat, they had one man chop the bird up. And what they did is by, it wasn't who will take this, it was, you know, it was a pecking order by draw. And the guy who was the lowest man on the totem pole would get the best piece of meat or he'd get the foot. And Bligh would get the foot or get a beak or get whatever, don't differ from anybody else. So you gotta, they try to do the propaganda thing about, you want to want you to hate the bad guy. But the reality is that when Bly was in charge of that particular party expedition, like probably most all of it, there was total equity in management of the group. And he suffered just as much as everybody else did. But when they described what happened accordingly, again, nothing went to waste, everything was eaten, everything. Better a gut full of seagull poop than sucking vapors. You know what I mean? That doesn't sound too pretty does it but that's what they did go ahead. I'm sorry. No, I'm all done. Thanks Not the best way to go It's not quite as nice as RC rations, but you've brought up a good point and guys hydration all the time because you'll be more efficient It's kind of like the thing we said about the real maintaining your rifles Once we get in the field, we have to be, I know we like to skimp or cut corners, but what we need is we need to get into a religious regimen. Caller is also what you said about, well, you might be slowing the guys down. Well, you're doing what you're supposed to do. The only difference is that everybody has to accommodate the personnel accordingly, and then you tailor your operational needs, you try to tweak them out so that they fit with the motion of the formation too. Team leaders in winter, something we should point out, I haven't mentioned this enough recently again, I did it in the, if you read the book, Battle for the Republic, The Winter War, if you got a copy, go back and read it again. All of those are real experiences, okay, as far as, especially trying to explain to people about winter operations and management, okay. Guys, you gotta be, you can't assume anything with people that you're responsible for. You can't. You tell people when to drink. Now, there's a couple ways you can do this. You can make it when I say tell the people they're gonna drink, is you can actually make it SOP, that if we stop, if I give the order, half of you get a drink, half of you maintain weapons control. Now, that can be SOP, so that when you stop, when you're in motion and you're moving cross-country, when we stop, alpha. That's all you got to do. Alpha. That means the A group is going to be watching, you know, watching the perimeter, watching the area of activity. The B group, which is designated alphas and bravos, the B group is going to automatically get a drink. check their gear. In fact, if they have, you should have a buddy system in place, your A-Bs are mixed up A and B so that the B guy that's taking the drink does a quick check on the Alpha guy while he's doing his job of eyes and gun. When the first person is done with the B group and the A's of the B's can be first, then they put their equipment away, they square, they put their water away or they put their camels, snail trail back where it belongs, their hose. And now they take weapons, you know, take weapons and are on standby. And the other group then takes the time to loosen, you know, check equipment, loosen gear, adjust gear, get their water out, drink, and the process, do whatever needs to be done, and check your buddy's gear while the other guy's doing the eyes and gun job. Okay? There's all kinds of different techniques with different schools of thought. The big thing is that you want to make sure as the team leader and as a squad leader and even as a platoon leader, you have to remind your squad leaders and your fire team leaders to do their job. You know, check the man. Every once in a while, even as a platoon leader, you're going to give adjusting orders. This is something that has to happen, but shouldn't happen very often. A well-disciplined unit is focusing on the moment. and looking ahead in the process but focusing especially on the moment. You also identify casualties this way. That's something I wrote into the book by paying attention to what's going on with your people. Not just the battlefield, not even a battlefield yet. We're talking about traveling. In traveling, you're constantly listening. And you're also doing a check and every once in a while this is the bad part about being in charge. You stop and you let every man go by and you're checking every man physically while this is happening. You're inspecting and paying attention or you make a small quiet comment and you watch to see if you get a response. With cold fatigue which leads to a vest eventually can lead to a cold casualty. They will become in introvert They will be in fact be inattentive to detail and activity if they don't respond to you saying something to them quietly then you halt Everything right there and you hey hey Bob What you want to do is you want to confirm or deny that you've got something going on. Okay, you okay? Hey, you know talk to me. What's going on? And you may not have realized that the person's got a problem with their feet, has a problem with footwear. They may have another medical issue. The cold, they didn't put enough layers, they didn't have enough equipment, or the different type of equipment should have been applied that they didn't. The wrong clothing does make a difference. Ripstop clothing in winter, remember ripstop clothing, the plastine is designed to work as part of a radiator system. That's why that striated nylon is in the clothing. It's why it's so comfortable in summer, but in winter it has a very different effect. It's pulling calories. That plastic, it works like little mesh conduit. Okay? So this is one of the reasons that everybody has to do their job. Oh, by the way, you let the whole formation move by, right? Well, at some point you're going to have to get back up to where you belong. in the command management position, so you end up having to move faster than the average bear. You end up having to travel a lot more or move a lot more than most other people there because that's part of your responsibility. You wanted the job, you wanted to be in charge, you want to be in command, you want to have the word. Well with it comes a lot of other things and the most important one is W-O-R-K, work. And a lot of people watch too many movies. Go ahead, callers, jump in there, please. uh... no no if you're aware you have a democratic senator in michigan reporting on field rations delivered to the national guard washington d c being tainted are you aware all really well i have to find out i would be surprised if it was built was it feel rations or was it a rations slash data mess mess arrangement going up there was a arrangement and i don't want to be picked be swept under the carpet because it made a bunch of sick OK, there we go. And investigating contractors according to this Democratic senator in Michigan. Now, I don't know how far that's going to go. Thank you, appreciate that. Well, again, this is something, remember, I talked about, first of all, the officers in charge and the people who are in command are utterly failing their troops. I don't care what anybody says. When they talked about that garage, I told you before, guys, here's how it works right from the get-go. Well, I've just used the word here. You're responsible. Now, I think the Piss Willys and a lot of the officer trash that we have now have been so Sovietized they feel they don't need to care about you peasants slash bourgeoisie capitalists and a lot of these asshat officers that we have that are there through the system they were there when I was there. These characters really are hardcore commies. They hate you. They hate the country and they're through our whole government. and mismanagement or failure to step up to the plate, especially like when those guys were in the garage or down in the basement. They said, well, they were in the basement, they're on the floor. Why are they on the floor? You know, you're in the middle of where they spend all the money for our government, the district of criminals. Do a search this way. Go to a map of Washington, D.C. and then, or go to Google, put in military bases in and around Washington, D.C. Now there aren't many in, but when you see this cluster of stars, understand that every one of those is a base that accommodates tens of thousands of military personnel. Each one of those units that's on that base has a supply system. There is a quarter bastard. There is a supply and support system that includes military clothing and material sales. That sounds like it's a retail store, it's not. It's actually where you could go in if you're the NCO or officer in charge and you can buy off of the inventory if you had a budget card or if you had a budget voucher and you could buy anything from COTS, to blankets, to pillows, to footwear, to berets, to insignia, to uniforms, to undergarments, and all the other items that you use in the military. You're charged the actual cost that the military pays. It's not PX. It's a totally different system. And the idea behind this is that if you're in the field, you would go in, purchase, and allocate to your troops. Now guess what? The moment that I saw would have something like that if those people were under me. Sergeant, come over here. Hold on a second, caller. Just for a second. Sarge, come over here. Go get me the quarter bastard. Ralph, come here. That's my XO. Ralph, come over here. Go get me a couple of DD-432s. I'll sign them. You guys go over to clothing sales. I want do a head count, we'll do a 50%. I want 50% of these guys on cots, I want 50% of them swinging dinks, doing their job, whatever it's supposed to be. But we're gonna have bedding here, we're gonna have cots here, and I expect you guys back from Mitchell, or back from Andrews, or back from, you know, Latterby, I want you back from one of those facilities in about three hours. And by the time I get to the fourth hour, there better be cots, bedding, Oh, by the way, let's pick up some communications. And how about some latrine facilities? I think that's some facility technology. Go over there to hygiene. Get those people, get some crap over here off one of those deuces or five-tonners now. See, if I can figure out how to do this and I'm talking, you talking you through it, what happened to the dumbass that's at the other end who didn't do it? Tells you something about the quality of the people you have in charge and the lack of quality of the people you have in charge. From top to bottom, people. Again, you're responsible for all this crap. It used to be we taught people this is the difference between the piss-willy bullshit, commie operations we have now, and the way the American can-do attitude used to be with motivation. But you can't get motivated because the queers and the pedos and the lesbians are the ones that are in charge and they're worthless shits. That's our problem. And not just in the government. Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. No, those reports had come out and they said that I guess it was like in myrrh mic cans that the troops were getting raw or undercooked meat and there's also been metal shavings in the food and it's required hospitalization of a lot of the people. Oh, that's like what happened with the applesauce years ago, remember? Yep, you know what that you know what that is guys that means the improper maintenance of the for the food processing Hobart machines that they have there the tubs and What happens is if you don't change the heads they gall we all talk about this when we're talking about machining and the material scrapes off this means that they're they nobody's paying attention to their job they What it happens is it galls and scrapes the side of the stainless? Tub which can be a heater tub Well, they are. They're steam heaters usually. And then in addition to that, the head thrust devices, depending on what they're using, paddles, mixers, whatever, it's scoring the side of the tub and it's not balanced or it's out of balance to begin with. And those shavings peel off into the food and it's like putting glass in your food. Yummy. Yes, exactly. You know what happened? Let me remind everybody years ago, I mentioned that applesauce. They had a contractor doing the same BS. Had steel shavings through all of the applesauce they packed up into the MREs. Anybody remember this? You know what their solution was? The government, well, they got the applesauce recalled. They ripped open the pouches, dumped them into big tubs, and ran magnets through the applesauce. and then repackaged it and claimed that they actually had processed new applesauce. Kind of reminded that old book about when they would process stuff here in the United States and send it to England and it would get spoiled and people didn't want to eat it. And then they just send it back to be fixed and all they would do is throw it in the tub and grind it up and make new sausage and send it back to England. Yep. Only in this case, guys, we're not even at war. These dumbasses. This is another thing that gets me about this is an example, these pricks, these worthless turds. We are not even at war. We are not pressed to take care of our people. Are we? Are they under fire? Do you hear artillery just down the street? It's just the battle for DC and they gotta just suffer with whatever crap when he's coming here. Excuse me. I gotta watch my mouth But you know what? I'm I just want to throttle these people. I want if I saw him I put a bullet in him Seriously, are you the guy that did that? Yeah, what are you gonna do about it? Boom? That's what I'm gonna do about it. You son of a bugger. By the way, get off my leg. Boom! Get off my leg! Boom! There you go. Get rid of that one. Who else is working with this bastard? Seriously. We're not at war. We're not like, you know, shh, there's crap falling in the food, son. But we got to get it to the troops. No. What that tells you is it's an example of what is the graft and corruption of the norm of the day. Because this is an example, you know, the people that know how to do it aren't going to be allowed to do it. The ones that are doing it are the ones that have no business being near anybody doing it. You see how that works? Yeah, this is nothing new though that this stuff has been percolating for 30 years at least and you know here's another example of about talking about are we at war or this or that and the people in charge don't really care. Look here at the Biden administration. There used to be a petition on the White House website. I think it might have gone back to the Obama administration or maybe even the George W. Bush administration. If you had an issue, you could fill out a petition on the White House website. And that's been removed. They've removed the phone comment line from the White House. They've removed the comments from their YouTube White House website. They just don't want to hear. It's not the inaction that pisses me off, it's the fact that there are a whole pile of people that should have done step by step, layer by layer of growth. Now one of those piss willies did their job. Not one of them. I'm gonna get out of the way, get great, coming up alright guys, God bless y'all, we'll be back at 8 o'clock. Bye bye. Yep, I'm sure Nancy Pelosi went out and had a nice dinner and all the officers. This is Craig, I'm using Canada early, but uh... You're listening to Forbidden Knowledge. My name's Craig. This is a Wednesday evening at March 3rd, 33, 2021. That's the day we're on. And we're live. You want to call in. I don't have much here going on for the show, but I do have something picked out if nobody wants to participate and calling about whatever. And I've been very busy personally working on my prepping for my project. Before I do that, let's go over a couple of things here. First of all, I had no shows scheduled for a while. I just came back from Indianapolis here a couple days ago doing a gun show, the Indy 1500, and it was quite improved over the last one. That typically happens when we get a new president and it happens to be a Democrat. people were more attentive to the gun show than they were back in October, the last time they held that particular show. I've been noticing that these get the gun shows. I've only done three gun shows since the pandemic and all of them, the attendees aren't really that concerned about masks for the most part, but they made you wear them and I think they made everybody do a temperature check coming in. But that's what the gun show where we turned out pretty good for me. In fact, Saturday I had the best one-day sales for probably at least two years. Of course, I haven't done many shows in the last year anyway. And what I find amusing is silver, because I do have some, of course, I have my own line of copper coins, but I saw copper coins and silver. I have some silver. That's silver bullets. And I have some silver coins and some silver things. And, price of silver has been pretty flat for the last, I'd say about seven, eight years, hovering around $15 an ounce, up until recently, where it's basically almost doubled. And, all of a sudden, now people want to buy silver. I don't get that, but okay. So, very well sold silver sales. When the price was low lower and now prices doubled and all sudden I get a lot more silver sales and go figure human nature, I guess you're Expecting it to continue on and it's upward because the last couple months it's not pretty worried about let me see I did well, I haven't checked it the last two days, but for the show the price was 20 27 91 I think was 26 91 I can't remember that It was up to $30 an hour. It's at one point back down again, but it's a lot higher than it was. Anyway, sold silver. So that's one of the reasons I had a good show. Now, that's a relative, although I'm getting rid of some silver that I had, that I did buy at lower price, the profit margin is still pretty low on the precious metals, unless you buy it all really low and it goes up dramatically. Let's see here, in other show and news, for me personally, The way I figure, I only have three shows now until November. I believe that's what it's coming out to be. First of all, I learned, and I went online to back it up, but somebody told me the Nod Creek Machine Gun Shoot was canceled for this year. And that's only, and that means April and October, but no, the truth was he was only half right when he told me that because it went online and left. Sure enough though, the April 21 machine gun shoot is canceled. It's coming straight from their website. But they say the next scheduled shoot is October 8th and 9th of 2021. So here we have another half year gone of the not creating machine gun shoot. That would be three shows. That's a year and a half of no shows for the machine gun shoot. So that was to be my next show. Well, yeah, that would have been my next show. And I would have done because of the fact that since there was an eight year waiting list to get in as a vendor and to keep my spot, I would definitely have to stop what I'm doing and do the show and then go back to what I was doing. So now the next scheduled show for me on that show is October 8th and 9th. And who knows what can happen that might not have it then. And then I went to the Dayton Handvention site. And I see they have a countdown there to the next Dayton Handvention. And it's 63 weeks from now. Yes, according to their website, unfortunately setbacks in the recovery from COVID-19 pandemic might necessary the difficult decision to cancel hand tests HamVention 2021. Hundreds of volunteers have been working to do everything necessary to bring this and eventually the many amateur radio enthusiasts and vendors who support the Dayton hamvention. Vaccine distribution both in the United States and around the world is lagging behind what was planned. In addition, the emergence of a more communicable form of the COVID-19 virus increases the potential for further public health problems in the next few months. We make this difficult decision for the safety of our guests and vendors. So Dayton Hand Vension, which was supposed to be in the middle of May, May 20th and 21st is, I'm sorry, that's in 2022, it's May 20th and 22nd, 20th through 22nd. Yeah, it was supposed to be in the middle of May, it was canceled. I've done Dayton Hand Vension for about 10 years. But last year, well not last year, the last time we had shows, because Dayton Ham invention was of course canceled last year as well, as was the Finlay Military Vehicles Show in Finlay, Ohio. So two shows pretty close together. And that I always had a conflict of shows wanting to do both, but they were always the same weekend. In this case, this year, it is supposed to be May 14th through 16th of 2021 for the Finlay Show. Now I'm already signed up as a vendor there. I talked to people in the know this past weekend at the Indianapolis show. If they're still gonna hold the Finlay show and it's still kind of questionable. They're up in the air about it yet. They still don't know. So if the Finlay show is being held in the middle of May, May 14th, 15th, and 16th of this year, 2021, I'll stop what I'm doing and do that show because I also don't want to miss that one. Now last year was supposed to be their international conference. which would have been a huge deal for this show. And I heard the word is still out whether or not that's going to happen this year if they're going to hold their international conference. Because you'll have vehicles from all over the world and attendees from all over the world for that one. It's like the show of the show is for military vehicles. Once a year, somewhere in the world, there's an international conference. Okay, so that's my next show, May 14th through 16th, 2021, the Finlay Military Vehicle Show, if that is still on. At this moment, looking at the website, they give no indication of it not being on. And then the, let me see, the other show that I'll have to do if it's on will be the... Atlanta, Georgia, the Dragon Con show. Again, another show where there's a long waiting list to get in. It used to be, I don't know that it is now, because now I'm using three floors and a new building. But anyway, that was canceled last year as well. And that's Memorial Day weekend. So right now, those are the three shows I need to be looking at to see whether or not I'm going to be doing them. I assume they show, frankly, I want to do it because I'll be able to have to get my mechanics to work on my Unimog. I don't know if anybody knows this or not, if I've talked about it earlier. I have a Mercedes-Benz Unimog that's a military vehicle that you don't see in this country. In this country, it's the worldwide equivalent of the Humvee. In Humvee, as you see in North America and Central and South America as well. But on the other side of the world, it's pretty much exclusively Unimox, which is a very interesting military vehicle as well. It's a cab over design, very powerful four by four. Well, frankly, the engine size is pretty low, but powerful meaning very off-road capable. And cargo capable. A Humvee doesn't really have much of a bed in the back. My Unimog has about a 7 by 11 foot bed in the back because the camera was designed. But yet it's about the same size of Humvee. It takes up about the same size of the pickup truck. And it sits quite a bit higher because the axles are planetary gears so that the axles don't run in the middle of the wheels. It actually runs above the middle of the wheels. If that makes sense, if you know what I'm talking about. So it's got more ground clearance and it's very capable off-road machine. Anyway, I plan on selling that possibly if I can get it running to get it to the show. It's about stored right now about three hours away from that show so I'll just be driving it there basically. Getting it to the show and maybe I can sell it. Because last year, I'm sorry, the last year of the show was held, not a single unit log of the show. And there were more than 100 vehicles at that show last year. And you could ride the Huey. There was even tanks. There was motorcycles and sidecars, World War I ambulances, all sorts of things if you're interested in military vehicles. I sure wish I could buy that Unimog. But I probably won't. Well, I don't really want to even sell it, but I may need the money for my project that I'm working on. So, because I don't have a lot of money and the budget's going to be tight. I've got to get this warehouse done. And I'm going to talk about that a little bit too because I've been doing some work on it. Let me see what else here. Oh, and to follow up really quickly on something I heard on the end of Mark's show, the headline reads, Michigan lawmakers raise concerns over reports of National Guard troops being served raw, moldy food at U.S. Capitol. During this, this, the follow up to the armed insurrection in January, apparently vendors, food vendors were not doing things to kosher and they had, but they could have just brought their own MREs, frankly, but they did not, they were. using the food contractors for food for the Dash regards troops. Anyway, there's not much more of that story that I've read in this report. This story, there's not much more here other than they were complaining about the quality of the food. All right, let's see, what else? Get rid of that page. Got a few pages here lined up. All right, yeah. On Saturday, this coming Saturday, let me see, yes, let me see, I'm going to back up a little bit. I've been working on this project. For those of you who are just joining, don't know what I'm talking about. This is a personal project of mine and it may be the result of me stopping to do this show. Don't really know yet, don't know if I'm going to have time. I'm going to be working full time. I really need to stop all shows and just do this personal project. I've been homeless for... Close to 20 years living in my van and I need to get now that the pandemic happened this last year about one year ago. The orders started increasing dramatically and a lot of Flu pandemic kits first was a couple palates of those gas masks are going crazy sold about a thousand gas masks and thousands of filters and a gas mask related stuff Then the freeze dried food companies, Mountain House and Wise ran out. I started selling a lot of freeze dried food. Anyway, I sold a lot of my stock. Now, I have not really restocked much of anything. I haven't really restocked. I'm going to use that money to now to finally build a place because I was never getting ahead before. I was doing shows. The shows were in great decline. Over the last 10 years or so and just getting scraped the point where I'm just scraping by not being able to save any money But now that this happened and I'm not restocking I got to get this project started and done It's going to be it's just a personal thing and I'm going to have to probably stop doing this show don't know yet haven't talked to Mark about it yet He's aware of my intense to do a project of this nature what it is is For those of you who don't know what a Quonset hut is, a Quonset hut is usually just a steel arch building. I think a Gomor pile, the TV show, you can see them there. Military barracks, just a steel, you take a barrel and cut it in half lengthwise and lay one half of the barrel on the ground. You see a lot of these as farm buildings for storing straw or hay or whatever. That's lower farm equipment. That's typically where you see Quonset hut buildings, but they can be used for a lot of other things. That's pretty much an all steel structure. And I've bought two of those. But in my case, they're going to be underground. Now, you can't bury these things direct. They're not intended to be buried. They're only 20-gauge steel, 20 to 22-gauge steel, typically. So they can't withstand being underground. And they would fail. But I'm only using mine as a form to pour concrete on the top of it, wrapped. So essentially, I'm pouring six inches of concrete, shooting concrete more is more the effort word because it'll be either a gunite process or a shotcrete process where you're spraying the outside of this thing with concrete. And then when the concrete cures sufficiently, the steel gets removed from inside. I devised the method of doing this. This has not been done that I'm never aware of. So I'm inventing things as I go. And then I will be either reselling those buildings as quantum regular steel quasitos, or I will be using them as forms again to build out some for other people if I get any people that want me to do that. Because I'm going to need that money to continue my project more than likely. Anyway, that project is going to, that's a personal project of mine around April 1st is when I pretty much have to stop everything I'm doing, go out there full time and do this project. It's going to take me all year by myself with my own equipment, my own money, and I've got to get something done and buried before winter so I have a place to store my warehouse, my items too, my stuff for my... Because I have storage units right now where I'm storing various things in three states. And I'm spending a lot of money on that. I need to consolidate it all in my own building, safe and secure, underground. So this is a personal thing. To that end, about every day I've been working on something relating to prepping for this project. Because to me it's a major project. If our contractor was doing it, he could have it done a lot quicker than I am doing it, but I'm doing it myself. You gotta remember, I'm a crew. I don't have anybody in this hire, I'm not hiring anybody. The only things I'm hiring out is the day of the flat work, meaning that the concrete slab is poured. You need a crew that day and power travels and some other equipment I don't have. And then the actual spraying of the arch itself, which would be a crew with the shotcrete. the shot creeper gun, the process of spraying concrete on the outside, which also takes special equipment, heavy equipment, which I also do not have. So to that end, let's see Monday and the way back from the show coming up, picked up some fruit, some freeze dried fruit from somebody. One of the vendors, his sister died of the COVID and I've ended up knowing for a long time. And he had a bunch of Thrive brand freeze dried fruit. Tribe is a good brand if you're looking into freeze-dried food companies. Tribe is a good brand. It's mostly, it's not so much entrees as it is individual components that you mix together to make into a meal. All right, the freeze-dried food and it's good quality food. I believe that company claims that no GMO and organic and all this stuff. So it's a good brand, but unfortunately it's multi-level marketing and it's costs a lot more money because of that. But you'll find cans of this Argus and coconut, things that you won't find in a lot of other freeze-dried food companies. And I have nothing to complain about the actual product. I would recommend the brand to anybody who wanted to get into buying some freeze-dried food. I don't sell it. But it's just expensive because of the marketing. They try to get everybody to... sell it and resell it and try to make money and so on. I never did like multi-marketing companies. But anyway, I picked up a bunch of that that his sister had that passed away due to the COVID. And so, but that's, I'll be eating that on my job site. You sad, Robert. A lot of it's just dried peaches and apples and grapes and things like that where you just pop it in your mouth and eat it. So there's a lot of that too. There's four big boxes of it. And all the food that I do have, which isn't much of it, probably have about 100 pouches of mouse house left and probably about maybe a couple dozen buckets of wise food. And I'll be eating those as well. Just not only because it's a little slightly older stock, but it saves free dry food. It's very simple to make. and very convenient, especially for when I'm on site, the building project without any electricity, without any running water and all that good stuff. Essentially camping out while I'm on the job site while I'm there. I do have a spring where I can fetch water and I can make it safe by filtration. And I had been drinking that water for actually many decades. So unless something's changed, the water is safe to drink. But no power. I do have a solar system out there, but it's in such disrepair that it'll take a lot of work to get running again. In the meantime, I do have a generator. In more news relating to the project, I guess I'm building this up to see if people are interested in the project and if I should continue out of the radio show or the YouTube channel with the project, seeing if anybody's interested in it. I have now got, I don't know if I talked about this, I got my Digger Derrick equipped with a man-lift bucket. A Digger Derrick is a, most people just call it a utility truck, for utility companies use, for power companies. You can pick up telephone poles with it, dig a hole, put the whole pole in a hole. It's got a crane, a boom, and all that money. Mine now has a man-lifted bucket, but it doesn't have controls in the bucket, so it's just a two-man operation at that point. I have to make it into a one-man operation. And that's fraught with a lot of problems. I'm trying to devise a method, because it would cost a lot of money to equip it with hydraulics up at the top of the boom. Remember, the boom moves and extends and everything, so you have to have the hydraulics all the way up. This particular type of boom extends as two... sections of boom that extend. Nowadays, most of them kind of have a folding elbow and then maybe an extension as well. But mine is a little bit older, mine's a 1988 on a Ford F800 chassis. And anyway, Ford functional got that now, but I don't have control in the bucket. Now, the main reason I need that is for spraying the concrete on the constant hut. And in that instance, I could just be the operator suspending the guy in the bright spot he needs to shoot the concrete. So, not having controls is not a big deal for an instance like that. The Quonset hut gets delivered in about six weeks. I use it as a crane and they'll be able to pick that up. About 10,000 pounds of steel. My Quonset huts are pretty big. One of them is 40 foot wide by 20 foot tall. And of course no beams or anything in the middle, no poles, no. And then, in 50 feet long, about 2,000 square feet. And then the other quantity is about, almost 500 square feet. It's about 20 by 20 and 10 feet high in the middle. And to put together, if you go to the YouTube channel for BIDtv, you can see a video I did fairly recently, probably about, well, that was last year actually, about maybe about four or five months ago, six months ago maybe. Showing a model, I put together real quick, give you an idea what the thing is going to look like. Because, in the Quanset House, again, you can't bury the mines, the unique structure. As far as I'm aware, I've never seen one like it. Now, let's see, to that end, I also, now I have to equip it, I'm trying to equip it with a system of ropes employees to be able to operate the controls from up in the bucket. The controls are sitting at the base of the boom and I'm up at the top of the bucket. So I'm devising a method. I've got to figure out how I'm going to do it. I've just got to start building them. I already bought some of the rope I need to do. The problem with that is there's some safety issues there, of course. I won't be able to use a thing for tree trimming unless I'm extremely careful because with the ropes dangling all the way to the bucket, any limb that falls, that could be very dangerous because it could... Catch one of those ropes and make the machine do what you don't want to do and you're up on the top of it So I have to be very careful doing it using it alone and also to that end I also bought an escape ladder in front of you know those rope ladders you throw out about a you know, like a third-story apartment or whatever to go down to the ground I bought one of those and you know have that equipped up there So if the engine stalls or something happens and I'm up there. I gotta be able to get down 35 feet in the air so I have a way to get down or at least a rope, but I bought a little ladder, like a rope ladder. It's not really rope. It's a web, a nylon web type thing that compactly folds and just throw it up. I'll tie the bucket and you've got a way down. So I'm thinking about that for safety. And then I won't be able to use it anywhere. There's a risk of anything catching those ropes if I'm controlling it from the top by myself. Because that can be very, very disastrous. Gotta be as safe as I can working alone. No help. I'll give the day cell phones though. You could always call for help. Last time I was really doing a lot of work out there. There was no such thing as cell phones. That's how long we've owned that property. Let's see here. And then Monday on the way back, I not only picked up the food from the vendor, but I also bought some, almost call them timbers. They're so damn heavy. Two by 12 white oak. Rough song so they're actually two inches by 12 inches. They're not like you know 11 3 11 and a quarter by one and a half There's about twice the weight of a 2 by 12. They're pretty pretty damn heavy well anyway I bought those will be cut up into two foot sections And I'm gonna make him a make a four inch Wood cribbing or pad for the outriggers of my bigger Derek in other words usually outriggers you don't let anybody who don't know outriggers a hydraulic foot basically that comes out of the side of a crane or a backhoe or something to go on the ground to stabilize the machine to keep it from tipping over so much or to level it. So we have four outriggers and I've got these pads that I want to make these wooden pads because the steel pads are only about 11 by 11 inches and I wanted to make one that I can maneuver by hand and put underneath those pads to spread the weight so then I'm going to have a two foot by two foot pad. don't spread the weight for muddy conditions or soft ground or for leveling purposes having six of making six of them so that I can use them for leveling purposes to you know one how we're here might have two of them under a Good four inches like a it'd be like a flat railroad tie if you will Because it'll be two by twelve side by side two foot long and then another layer cross it cross ways two by two foot by twelve foot. I'm sorry to put by Two foot by two foot and then bolted together. I already bought the bolts. I already got the machine. I already got the boards cut. I used chainsaw and getting ready to use some linseed. I was told maybe somebody can help me out with this. I was told a mixture of linseed oil with mineral spirits, 50-50 linseed oil and mineral spirits to help protect the wood. So I'll be soaking them liberally in that and then bolting them together. little safer than what the in yesteryear you would use creosote or something like that try to keep them from rotting they'll be sitting outside on the truck they won't be you know barn or anything for a while they won't be so I've got those I'm going to be making let's see today I spent much of the day concrete proofing all my electrical boxes all the electrical boxes in the in the warehouse the bulb monitor, whatever you want to call it, will be in conduit, steel conduit, EMT conduit, they call it, and steel electrical boxes. So when you spray the concrete and you look at the back of an electrical box or a size of an electrical box, you'll see all kinds of holes. And I can't have those holes. I can't have concrete going in there filling up my concrete boxes or my conduit. So I'm basically taking some... Power grab, basically construction adhesive and silicone sealant and filling up all those holes so that it's concrete proof. So that when it's in concrete, the concrete doesn't leak in there and I have a hollow cavity instead of a slug of concrete in there. And so that's just one of those prep things. I already bought hundreds of electrical boxes. I'm probably doing about 100 of them right now. Electrical boxes for switches and plugs and so on. those are all connected by conduit so that wires can be run later. But it has to be concrete proof. It has to be basically you can't let concrete fill them up. I think you understand that. So I'll be doing that. Continuing on that, I have to one coat dry, I've got to do another. There's just one hole that I'm leaving. Of course the holes in the front where you screw either your outlet or your switch to when you're all done. I just put a dab of modelers clay in those so that it stays soft. And if any concrete does get in there, it doesn't kill those little tread holes. And also, there's one hole in the back for a ground screw that I devised a little special method of putting a ground screw in first. Then I put a little sleeve of just a 3 1 6-inch ID. tubing, a little short piece of tubing to cover the outside of that screw on the back. And we're screwed in at 6-5-6 inches. Out the back, maybe 3-8-inch. So I'm cutting a little 3-8-inch piece of tubing and then taking glue and caulk or whatever on the outside of that and smearing it all over so that it creates a little cavity where the screw can be backed out or reinserted after the concrete is cured, a little void there. Try to find something else like a little cap of some kind is what you need and having was having trouble finding The right thing to go on that so I'm doing that been buying tools and other supplies next I got to work on the radiant heat system, but this warehouse will have Warm water running in tubes in the concrete not only in the floor, but also the wall slash ceiling out of different different with different spacing. In the floor, usually you're talking about 12 inches apart, the tubing snaking through the concrete. You have to get all this in the concrete and then it's a really nice heating system, although I've never had one, never done one before. And I will also have some tubing probably spaced about 16 inches on center in the walls and ceiling. And where you can layer on one water through those and you can heat your building. The reason I'm doing it in the walls and ceiling as well is because This is just based on my non-experience, but my study about radiant heat. If you have an all-concrete house, think about this. Just pretend you're above ground because there's some maybe hard for people to imagine what I'm talking about. If you have a concrete block house and you've got a slab floor, concrete slab floor, and you're heating the slab floor with radiant heat, that's typically what you do. And if your walls don't have any heat, your walls are insulated. But if it's zero degrees outside and your walls are going to be kind of cold, if you're sitting in a desk next to that, you're going to feel rather cold next to those concrete walls that are not heated. They're gaining heat from the floor, but they're going to be colder than the floor and you're going to feel it. based on the research that I've done with this stuff. So I'm putting some heat into the walls and ceiling as well. The walls and the ceiling are one and the same in this case. Some commercial structures use radiant ceiling heating, but the floor is the best place to put it. It has slightly warm floors. And we're only talking water that's about 80 degrees running through these pipes to heat your space. It's an efficient way and very comfortable way, very common in Europe, a way to heat your home. And if you're pouring it, if it's a concrete slab and you're just now pouring it, that's the ideal time to put it. It costs very little money to do it then, and to try to put it in later. And I'm not worried about any of the control systems or the pumps or anything else, valves, nothing like that. I'm just getting the pipes in the concrete and then worrying about the rest of it later. Because I just won't have the money or the time. And plus this pole barn is actually being permitted as strictly as a pole barn. Storage. storage shop, workshop, that sort of thing. Storage workshop in the garage. That's its primary use. And although I'm putting in electrical conduit, I'm not putting any electric in, at least not now, maybe someday, because I don't have utility feed. I don't have electric from utility out there. If I do anything, it'll be some type of solar system. Small solar system, but again that's enough in the future. I got to get the structure built first. That's my Primary goal this this year you get that structure built So I don't know if anybody's going to want to follow us or not I don't know how the time to do it. I'm going to be so busy and Rain days and days where it's too rainy or too muddy to do what I need to do that'll be the days I run to town and buy more materials or doing laundry or buying groceries whatever Hey Craig, I listen whenever you come on. I mean, I almost always catch Weapons Wednesday on the Intel report and I stay on to see if you're on. So you go. Well, thank you for that. Well, thank you for that. I hope to see you at DragonCon this year. But if I don't, I hope you'll be doing well. I do remember you had you got the COVID. How would you recovery going? Are you doing good now? Oh, I didn't even feel it. They said I had it, but I didn't even feel it. I think I didn't have any congestion or coughing or anything. So it's part of the positive. Yep. Positive test negative effect. Okay. Well, that's good. And that's the case with a lot of them. And in that case, would you have even known if you had it if you didn't get tested then? No, I don't believe I would have. Oh, that's interesting. Did you lose your taste and all that, what's like they sometimes say? I never did. Never had any coughing, congestion, loss of taste, any of the other symptoms I've heard of. Yeah, except for the positive result when they tested me, I wouldn't have known. Okay, that's good. That would be ideal, although, you know, it's good that you knew, I guess, it depends on when you found out you had it, you might have had it for weeks before. And then if you know that you can take care of, try to keep the rest of your family from being infected, that would be... That would be a good reason to know even if you had no symptoms. I wonder how many of us have COVID, have got COVID and don't even know it then. That's really interesting. They always make a big deal on the press about how basically you're going to die, you're going to die. And then here it is. It's not only did you not die, you didn't even feel it. That's very good. I do have one related. Do you have anything you want to talk about anything else, caller? I'm a native Craig, just wanted to let you know you definitely have one vote to say on if you're able to. Well, I guess it depends on how things go, but this show in the summertime will still be during daylight. Now in the first month or so, that's what we call in southern Michigan, mosquito time. where the starting to get dark suns going down and they chase you away anyway. So there might be times when I could, but then other times it will still be well daylight between seven and eight where I need to keep working, keep working, keep pushing because I have to really push myself in this whole time. So I don't know that I will be able to take the time off to stop what I am doing and get on the phone. And then without having an internet capable of doing research for sometimes when I do sometimes to start these shows I do research before I come on the show and it will just basically be my experience is what I'm doing with the construction project which may or may not be that interesting to people on this network maybe some other kind of network it'd be more interesting but that's near and over there I don't know what's gonna happen yet but I'm just letting my audience know ahead of time I'm going to have to dedicate myself to this this year I really can't be doing much of anything else accept this. So that's just a little forewarning. I did pick up, I got this article here, which in my last 15 minutes or so, I could go over a little bit, about this newest, we're talking about the COVID here, the newest bill, $2.2 trillion professional COVID-19 bill, some interesting things in it. It was sent to me. $2.2 trillion congressional bill, hard to believe. You can look it up, HR 748 from the 116th Congress. And you can buy it online, you can buy full texts of the entire bill, it's there. So again, HR 748 from the 116th Congress. And it's got some interesting factoids from it. How many pages did it say? Let me see. I looked over some of it. 200 pages looks like here. So it's a lot of things going in there. The only thing in the news we're really talking about is, oh, well, it might not contain the thing about the minimum wage, the $15 minimum wage. And they're ignoring the rest of it. Well, here's something you might not want to ignore. Well, we have, first of all, population of the US is about 330, 331. million people. The stimulus bill is proposed at 2.2 trillion. I got to look at these numbers and try to remember if I'm looking at billion or a million or a trillion because all these zeros, I got to count the count I guess. Now if you divide the cost by every American, that is about $6,000, $6,051, this bill. That's what it's costing you and me. It's costing every American $6,051. It passed. Now, so the government could have given every person over $16,000, but instead you will get about $1,200 each, each adult under a certain income. So that's not every American, that's just every adult under a certain income. $1,200, so you get $1,200. They're gonna take $6,000 from you, they're gonna give you $1,200 back. Some of you, not all of you. Now, you might want to know where the rest of that 96% of your tax dollars are going to. Well, let's go over this a bit up here. How about $300 million for migrant and refugee assistance? Where's Donald Trump when you need him, right? That's on page 147, by the way. $300 million for migrant and refugee assistance. $10,000 per person for student loan bail-up. Something else. socialist Biden wanted so anybody who has a social has a Student loan would potentially get up to ten thousand dollars per person has a bailout a hundred million of it going to NASA because well I guess maybe they need a better sports car for Mars. I don't know but hundred million of it going to NASA 20 Million don't know that's 20 billion wave is that right? We come nine zeros and a thousand and so that's, yeah, 20 million. Going to the United States Postal Service because why the hell not? 300 million to the endowment for the arts because, just because, 300 million to the endowment for the humanities because no one even knew it was such a thing. 15, let me see, 15 million? Yeah, 15 million for veterans employment training. Now what was the GI Bill for again? How about 30 billion, my zero's right here, for the Department of Education Stabilization Fund because that will keep people employed. That's 30 billion. And how about 200 million to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program. How about 300 million to Public Broadcasting NPR, National Propaganda Radio. And then the one's begging for your money all the time? No. NPR would exist if nobody gave them money because the government's giving them money. It's a propaganda program. That's what it is. Let's see here. Hey, Craig. Yes. Number four here. I also support Fluffy's opinion. I need you to stay here if you can, when you can. I can understand if you got to choose between mosquitoes eating here or talking on the radio and air-conditioned I think that'd be a easier decision Yeah, the other thing is if you go into the discord every now and again there's a book section I've uploaded a lot of underground home building and underground engineering books in there. But I can't upload anything more than 8 megabytes, and the site you want to go to is called Z Library, and it's a free sign up, and they don't need a credit card or anything like that, just give them a fake email, and I download 10 books a day, and if you want to do more than 10 books a day, there's a slight little donation you have to do. But they got tons of underground engineering homes and books and earth ships and all sorts of things in there. Can you name the website again, please? OK, it's Z. If you do a web search, it's Z Library. And the actual web address, I believe, is books4u.org. So do a search engine for Z Library. And the website is z.org. Books a book be okay be oh I came talk today be okay number four you dot org Okay, I'm not online right now, but the number four and then the letter you or you spelled out You spelled out as a person why oh you book okay? So number four you org or Z library like the zombies or whatever like that but C library in the search engine and you'll find it and so anyhow but also on the discord I have eight megabytes or less you might prove some of the smaller books that way and they have all sorts of different formats so look around there and see what you can find and I enjoy your program and I'll talk to you later Okay, thank you. I will look that up after some time here when I get on my... I haven't studied any for this house really, other than things like the design for the radiant heating, the spacing of the tubing, what size tubing, et cetera, things I haven't done. Now, I have been studying underground architecture for ever since the 70s actually, so I have already... I've got a wealth of information in my head. Now, there may be some new information and things that I could be aware of. I'm not sure. But I'm doing all this basically off of my past knowledge of what I've learned in my lifetime. And so I haven't gone online and really started studying any more about earth sheltering or underground construction. And maybe that's a mistake, but that's the approach I'm taking right now. I don't have internet. And so you have to get it through my phone and tethering and I have limited data. And plus I go to a Wi-Fi spot like a McDonald's parking lot or whatever a library But I just don't know that I appreciate the call. I don't know that if my audience Or this network is all gonna be all that incident in a underground construction project being on the radio once a week I don't know it. Maybe they maybe people like it. Maybe not there are some YouTube channels that specialize in in construction and there's some that are actually specializing in underground construction. And they seem to do pretty well. I just don't know that this network is the proper place for it. And I don't know that I'll be doing any YouTube videos either because that even takes more time. It's one thing to stop what I'm doing, go live on the air for an hour if I don't have to do any research. It's another thing to have to do to film a video, edit it, and upload it when I don't have Wi-Fi. It's going to be much harder to even maintain a video presence on YouTube, but maybe I'll find a way to do it. I don't know. Or maybe I'll just film a bunch of stuff and put it together some other day or in the winter time when I'm hunkered down in my underground warehouse or whatever. I don't know that I'm going to have a YouTube channel doing anything with this either. I do have a couple of YouTube videos about it, and I do plan on putting out one more before I start the project. just to keep people informed of what's potentially going on and why my channel is dead, so to speak. Or I will be putting out something here within the next month. I just don't know if I'll be able to continue. I don't know about the time or the energy to do that. I'm gonna be so tired too all the time. So again, I don't know that this audience is gonna be, sounds like a couple people might be, but I may not be very interesting program. It's just about construction. Okay, my time's almost up here. Let me see if I can continue on this list here. You can look it up for yourself, of course. 435 million for mental health support. 30 billion for the Department of Education Stabilization Fund. I already said that. Safe Schools, Public Broadcasting, okay, I did that already. 500 million to museum and libraries. $720 million to Social Security Administration, but get this, only $200 million of it is to help people. The rest is for administration costs. What does all this have to do with COVID? $25 million for cleaning supplies for a capital building. I kid you not, that's on page 136. $7.5 million to the Smithsonian for additional salaries. $35 million to the JFK Center for Performing Arts. $25 million for additional salary for House of Representatives, $3 billion upgrade to the IT department at the IT department at the VA, $315 million for State Department diplomatic programs, $95 million for the Agency of International Development. Of course, why wouldn't we do that? $300 million for International Disaster Assistance. 90 million for the Peace Corps, on page 148. 13 million to Howard University, that's on page 121. 9 million for miscellaneous Senate expenses, page 134. 100 million to essential air carriers, page 162. Now this is kind of a note because the airlines are going to need billions in loans to keep them afloat. So 100 million is chump change at this point. 40 billion of this goes to the Take Responsibility to Workers and Families Act. It sounds like it's payments to workers, but I have to reread that. Page 164. One billion for Airlines Recycle and Save Program. That's on page 163. 492 million to National Railroad Passenger Corporation. Page 167. That's Amtrak. $526 million grants to Amtrak remain available if needed through 2021 on page 168. And there's a whole lot more. That again is the COVID bill, HR 748 from 116th Congress. So look it up. I thank everybody for listening. Until next time, this is Frank from Forbid Now saying so long until next time. just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get corners, bash them in the head, that seems to work out. Keep together, stay sharp, and follow me. It's part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt. to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. Dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrant flavored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free 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 the land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You take a state's number and you trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be... Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as Iowoki vanished in the midst from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land ladies and gentlemen? Oh my goodness the hours are passing. It's evening time Yes, yes, it is good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the intelligence report. I'm Mark Kurnkey. 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 south. Ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio on satellite and we are on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations and Ultra Net 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 including the great state of Jefferson along with CONUS the outline to six territories and the clock it is 806 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at the bottom of the state of Michigan it is the 3rd of March, but this is the last hour of the 3rd of March for the Intel report. We will not do this again. And it is the 13th year of open and obvious in your face Fabian the socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 old earth calendar 2021 battle for the Republic the dance of swords That was the you know, one of the things about how it begins is Incompetence and arrogance combined. I don't know if you ever watched Babylon 5 I know I reference sci-fi all the time, but there's a little thing there It's like future history past where it's from little movies, you know that they did little visionettes and it's Lando talking to the humans. Oh, let's see. Arrogance combined with stupidity. Ah, yeah. Well, that's basically what you're looking at. How do you get into, you know, the fiasco we're in? We let this go too far to begin with. We need to stop it. That means you're going to have to have a, going to have to fight an American war of prevention, which is what the American war of independence was. You don't wait until you're on the ground, bound hand and shoot their ass and get rid of them. And they can try to deflect it, which by the way, the crown did several times. They would get so far, press the envelope, even come out with force of arms and back up. They did this repeatedly and then finally just stayed on 19 April 1775. They just figured they were going to go for it. They were told one way or another, going out and going to rub their Masonic weenie in your face. And the rest is history, as they say. So it didn't work well for them. In fact, had we done a better job, which we need to do a better job, nothing but a rumor of their destruction should have returned to where they came from. A couple of things there at a moment I'm going to touch on again because I need to reinforce organization and why you need to agree to a pecking order very quickly. in a fighting situation. But we were talking about a couple things when we left the hour. Logistics for the military varies from era to era because of gobbledygook, bureaucracy, and BSers who have to find something new which is almost always old. You take away something, you give something. You take away something and then you don't do for the troops. so that then all of a sudden somebody rediscovers this really neat idea and claims it's brand new and never been seen before and they're doing it again. Now, there are many different ways and we are awash in material especially since, you know, they just put a gun to your head and stole how much from you just for the Corona Beer Virus scam sellout where they're laundering more money for the little OI boys to pocket and run over to hyphen Tel Aviv so they can be with Epstein and peto more kids. Some of them grab from America. That's what this whole thing is about. But with the military, there is, you know, again, there's material and equipment. You can either buy it or, you know, in other words, purchase it with digits because you have budgetary money for emergency, you have regular budgetary resources, and you even have special allocation for special deployment. In addition to that, though, you see from the other end, where do I go to get this? I can go out and pull it from an inventory and have it issued. I can sign for it. And I will be responsible for it. I got to account for it. We get a count. And I sign off on that form. The senior sergeant, the supply sergeant, the OIC for supply and support, depending how big the organization is, how far up the pecking order, how many people am I acquiring this stuff for. determines how much I'm signing off on, but we always have to account for it. They have to account for every blanket, every widget, all you know, if you were to issue out cots, cots gotta be the same when they get back in there. And there's a whole process of inbound, outbound, inbound. It goes out from them and back into them. If you purchase, the advantage is control. The disadvantage, it now becomes part of your short-term responsibilities list until it is appropriately disposed of and in some cases may be returned to the inventory. Some items are considered perishable so you don't do that. You can't. They just won't take a return. But there are some things that they will. And they're actually just resold slash reissued depending upon the environment. What I mean by sold is, as I pointed out, there's more than just one element to the ways you can buy things in the military. quote-unquote over-the-counter and not just the PX system. At different times they've allowed the regular soldier to even go in. We used to when I was young. For instance, military clothing sales used to be like it, you know, well every base had it. Fort Benning, Fort Campbell, Take a Pick, wherever you would go. Fort Knox, I bought a lot of stuff for Fort Knox. Even secondary facilities, not just a commissary slash PX system, but also military clothing sales, you would get the product for the price the government paid for it. Now, some things had to be on sign off document because they were in short supply or they were specialized. Example, you didn't just go in and buy a military US Army issue Green Beret. You had to be very qualified, you had to have a voucher from supply. You went in and got one. They had them inventoryed a lot of places, but you didn't just go in and buy one from military clothing. Some things were also in short supply and because the contractors hadn't caught up. Sometimes it would be certain types of specialized boots. Sometimes it could be certain pieces of web gear or equipment that were unique because they supported a certain optical system or weapon system and you had to have a voucher for those. But anything else, you could buy as many as you wanted. You could go and get pairs of socks for, you know, 17 cents a pair. Wool socks, cushion sole, US military, US contract, US made. Uniforms, helmets. Again, go right down the shopping list. Anything you can imagine. In the larger items, you would have to have an allocation docket slash a voucher for, like I mentioned, if you want to go in and buy things. So when you see those troops on the floor in Washington, like I said, the reason I'm disgusted with it is nobody stepped up to the plate because, well, again, to a degree, there's two groups. The commies don't have a clue. They're officers. They don't have a clue. They're panty ways. Usually they're too busy word about diddling each other and their queers a $3 bill. or they're the good people but they're not going to do the job for the asshat who is supposed to do the job and he's expecting you to step in and do his job or its or her job and mostly that's an it her in there okay so that being the case everybody sat on their hands either by intent because they're wicked bastards with no skills or because by intent they aren't going to do the wicked bastards jobs That's what's going on in Washington. And the same is true with all these skanks and pigs that are involved with Congress. Hell, this is classic Civil War we had this problem, Revolutionary War we had this problem. inferior material that was allowed to pass through the system. So now you got a bunch of these red guard that were stuck in Washington because after all ComRedWorker, they needed the iron fist of the red guard in Washington. And how do they take care of them? Oh, you stick your ass in a garage on the floor and then you try to get them, you know, you find the, you know, your cousin Izzy Blatsenstein or Bloomberg's. You know a little rat operation with all the illegal aliens running a kitchen out of another garage kind of like the basement garage they got you in and Only this one is just a typical real rat hole operation where they put up last minute all inferior garbage they take it over to the troops they get a bunch of me they're poisoned or injured and Congratulations. Nobody's really going to be held accountable and Blatson steam was already on an LL airliner the moment They got a call that they were sick from his food He's over in Haifa sucking on Pina Coladas next to Epstein laughing his ass off because the troops are sick and he got away with it and he also pocketed millions of dollars plus he got some money out of the COVID thing on top of everything else from some other BS part of it that they plotted for a you know Blatsonstein, Bogan Cern, Bergenbeich, Biken Blur, Blurmberg, who cares, whichever of those kosher turds is screwing you inside the US and then runs over to Israel where they hide. So that's the fact and that's what we've seen for decades. This is not something new This is stuff we've seen over and over again. We're real quick. Hold on color one more thing This even includes uniforms. I mentioned this how many of you guys had the original woodland uniforms? Remember what happened to them when they all turned blue? Remember what we found out? Oh yeah, turns out the reason those Woodland camouflage uniforms turned blue in the whole damn army is because yeah, they gave that subcontractor, that contractor had the minimal bid, Blatsonstein, and he gave this little special bid subcontractor some character over in one location and it ended up in the Dominican Republic with Blatsonstein, Blatsonstein and Kosherberg. And guess what? The colors weren't set, the contract wasn't right, the clothing wasn't pre-shrunk, the cloth. And when they put it all together and dumped it on the American military system, post-Vietnam, guess what? All that stuff, first time they washed it, everything, when it went to the military laundry, turned blue because the black wasn't set. And so, not only that, but all the clothing shrunk by about two inches. So, we spent what, a couple of days, we'd bring a company out at a time, everybody'd stand up, had their uniforms with them, and we'd take the size that they shrank down to, you give it to the next person down in size. And the big people, who didn't have any uniform then, their job was to scrounge up one of their green weenie uniforms, and they had to wear that until the Mark IIs came out. So you think this is new? No, it's the same crap with the Jewish mobsters doing this to us over and over again. We need to be dragged out, hung, their bodies left to rot somewhere on the rope. And again, we're not at war. There's no pressing to this, people. That's what's really asinine about this whole thing. Everything you're hearing, they're not under shell fire. They're not having to pick plaster out of the food because there's shells raining overhead and chunks of the building are falling into the... No! This is all getting pissed on because you've got a bunch of worthless turd queers of three dollar bill of pedo communists Running the shill operation. That's what it's all about. Anyway, we got a caller jump in there, please Yeah, mark. I just let people know Just one on Balmetto State Armory's website and they've got an 18 inch rifle upper That's a 223 Wild 1 in 7 stainless steel with a 15 inch weight upper, a m1 cuffer with the folding backup side. It's not what I would call cheap, but it does appear to be a good upper for $5.99. That's at PaulMettostateArmory.com. And that's with an 18 inch barrel though. Good, okay. 18 inch, 223 wild chamber, stainless steel barrel, and all the other good stuff like the folding in-bus backup side set. It's got the bolt carrier and charging handle for $519.99 at PalmettoStateArmory.com listed in stock right now. That's it. Good, good. Appreciate that. And again, Palmetto, you always want to keep an eye on them because you also don't know what they're going to run into in the way of ammo. PalmettoStateArmory.com. The 18-inch and in the wild means number one, you're getting more energy and anytime you're using a smaller projectile, if you can get more barrel, you get more velocity, every calorie you can pull from that little charge pushing the bullet is going to be used down a longer barrel. And remember that 20-inch was the norm for the 556 round. That's what it was built around. So just a heads up, the 18 is still an improvement. And the MLOC are the multi-picatinny rail front foregrips. They're metal. So again, good strong structure there to work with if you want to add on trinkets. You're going to look at light, laser, whatever you're deciding to do. The big push I've noticed in the last couple of weeks is people have been, you know, the Scout rifle has gotten more coverage. And one of the big things that's being done is to scout rifle those MLOC systems up. So what you've got is the forward end is, you know, you've got long eye relief scope. And with the 18 inch or the 20 inch, it would really be cool. But in this case, the 18 would be obviously what you're working with. But there are some really nice optics you can get for a very reasonable price in a long eye relief scope and set the AR up as a scout type rifle. works just fine. The systems have all been proven. It's just a personal reference thing. And you want to experiment to see if maybe you like the idea. You can afford to do that sometimes. Remember, there are places where if you don't like it, you can set it on the shelf or you can sell it if you have to. But, you know, there are things that are worth experimenting with. You may find that with your where you mentally, you know, image things and how you can line things up, that long eye relief system may work better for you than the other person standing next to you. And that's where if you haven't had a chance to test it, you got somebody else who's got a comparable weapon, go do that. You might decide, man, I need to build one of those. And so all these new rail systems that are out there right now, the quad rail type support systems that are rigid, those work exceptionally well for the kind of mission we're talking about. So again, I won't poop anybody whatever you want experiment with this is America first of all I believe what kind of gun is the best kind of gun? Yep? Uh-huh No, what kind of gun? Yep, all of them. As far as I'm concerned There's no bad. See the other part about that is the rats that are in the system that want you to be reasonable Well, you don't like that gun. Nope. I like that gun. Well, you don't like that gun Yeah, I like that one too. Oh, I like all of them. It's okay poo You know, that's how it works. Remember that little pool and piglet thing where poo's stand there, you know, and piglets go on, well, which is better, a Glock or a .45, 1911? Oh, you know, they're pretty much equal. All guns are good guns. You know, piglet, all guns are good. So settles the argument there. It doesn't mean I wouldn't, you know, again, I'll shoot anything that you put in front of me. First, I'll check it to make sure it doesn't try to kill me. It's supposed to be hurting somebody else, not me. And then after that, oh, I'll go to town. Trust me when I used to have tables at the shows we picked up in name stuff Like I told you before for a while there the French military rifles were out there in force We get grass rifles that came back from World War one All the different single shot which you don't see anymore at all and now they want stupid price but for a while there they were nothing guns they were they were the equivalent to buying a gun back in the 60s, you know $15 $16 over the table Nobody wanted them, but on the other hand then people found out hey They're kind of fun to shoot if you have ammo so then they started building ammo for the guns and the grass rifles the 11 to 1 meter Mausers the martini rifles the Italian Verturleys those are fun a friend of mine had a whole bunch of the tubular Magazine Fed bolt-action Verturley rifles little short stroke one of them was made in 41 mag foot of Magnum 40 41 rimfire And back then we actually could get ammunition from Italy. And it was 25 rounds to a box and kind of a bright green with a black trim. And it was neater to hell because everybody immediately related to a .22. They go, man, that's like a big .22. It's like, no, the .22 is the, well, yeah, I guess. A .22 is the small version of this. But the neat thing is that they worked. They really were a decent, comfortable rifle to shoot. They were the lever action gun of Europe because again they carried 11 to 12 rounds. One of them carried almost, I think, 18 rounds with the full musket barrel. And so you really didn't run out of ammo real quick and you were putting about a 280 to 320 grain lead slug down range every time you pulled the trigger straight case. So it wasn't a bad little gun. Now, again, some of those, you couldn't reload because, well, you could reload, but you can use black powder or pyrodex, but everybody always wanted to try to go to smokeless. Now, you could with some of those transition guns, even though it would be the other cartridges, like 45-70, started out black powder, went to smokeless. The same is true with most of those guns. They were from that Wendor era, but there is much older that's out there, right, to the beginning of cartridge guns, and sometimes they'd be badly stored. So first, you got to make sure everything's cleared. You got to make sure all the parts really do what they're supposed to do. Make sure there's nothing that's eaten all the way through or you pull the trigger and something doesn't lock or something doesn't stay. Kind of embarrassing when you eat the bolt or something like that, right? But have some fun. Whatever it is, I don't care what it is, if it'll put a bullet down range, it's going into this next war anyway. I think symbolically, like I said, if I know there's Chinese troops in front of me, I'm gonna kill, I will be using a Chinese escapist, just kill some of them and make sure if they're dying that they see what we killed them with. Yeah, Si Qing Ni, oh, you're a rifle. You build, you sell us cheap. We kill you fast. You die die. Aha, sin do. So, you know, bye bye. See, that's how it needs to be. And again, doesn't have to be the most sophisticated rifle if you're good with it. That's why I brought up the Mr. Dolby character a long time ago. Mr. Dolby, well that, Martine, well forgive me, that Remington Rolling Block in 43 Egyptian. The reason I used that one is because those guns used to come from Sarco, no FFL. They were $75 a piece forever. Hell, I don't know how many Sarco had. But the ones we got, they would be beautiful. But there wasn't any 43 Egyptians, so you had to go make your own brass. Then for a little bit of company down towards Monroe, Michigan, right here in the Midwest, made a bunch of the brass for it and loaded ammo. And then they went to $125 a gun. And then after a while, apparently, Sarko finally ran out of them. But you know what? I wouldn't want to get shot by that thing. 43 straight-case Egyptian. A big buck like 310 grain or 400 grain projectile going down range at up to 500 depending upon what you want to load. And in 43 caliber, so big long, big long thud bullet. And if you get out so far and start to tumble but still stay on course or at least start to, you know, pitch in yaw a little bit, would it hit you? Oh my God, I'm sure that would be a mess. So it doesn't have to be the newest you just have to be good with it. You need to know where it hits I don't care what it is There's a bunch of these 7.5 Swiss rifles. Those are tack drivers The Swiss spent top dollar on their militia firearms and those guns are phenomenally well built. They're built like a brick doghouse They'll be around for another 200 years But again 7.5 Swiss ammo is an issue. So don't even, don't throw any brass away. Even if it's a Berdan Prime, it doesn't make any difference. You're gonna have to figure out how to reload it if you want to keep those guns in service. And after a while, we're simply gonna have to make new cases. But in the meantime, keep them in reserve. You gotta have a rifle real quick that you have to grab. You got stashed somewhere so you don't have to run all the way across the house. It's nice to have something that puts a 30 caliber bullet hole in somebody. And you know, boom, boom, boom, Boom there we go five rounds and I've been walking back towards the other side of the living room and I'm down the hallway and there's the AR and bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop I know guys, especially handguns, have them stashed everywhere. They bought all those $69 fill-in-the-blank, whatever it was, Macaros, Tokarev's, Broomhattle Mauser's, CZ's, take your pick. Well, guess what? They're stashed all over the place with a magazine in them. You don't have to go, oh my God, I got into my gun. It's okay, where's the other one? Oh, there it is right there. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. And you're immediately putting bullets on target. Okay, especially like I said, SINs are really good for that. The Finnish people I know. So, a couple things here real quick again that those weapons I was talking about in the two o'clock hour over at CenterFireSystems.com, they're in the pistols section. Model 52s, Model 41. Also, the Czech semi-auto pistols. There's a couple of other ones there too. There's a whole pile of Derelicts. for parts guns to build, which, you know, again, they're putting anything out there they can because they are trying to sell something. When the market is as soft as it is in material supply, you run with what you got to make it look like you got something. That's what Centerfire is doing. A lot of the other companies are doing the same thing. The only thing about a lot of the guns, like I said, if 380 is one of the toughest, not the toughest per se, because it's probably parallel with other cartridges right now, But 380 Auto is one of the toughest and expensive rounds to try and work with. If you got a bunch of the ammo and you got the gun, don't get rid of it. But if you do, if you're looking at buying a gun, the 380 isn't your first choice unless you're getting a good price for it, number one. And maybe three, four boxes of ammo come with it, at least a couple of boxes. And spare mags would really be nice because, again, cash guns don't have to be regular combat load. Cash guns are something you found that was affordable. You can, you won't cry about putting it into a tube in grease and storing the ammunition properly and then when you go there you got something to go bang bang with instead of harsh language. And you're not crying because you buried a $500 or $1000 gun. I can't afford to do that. Well, that's why all of these surplus guns or lesser arms are so desirable, especially if you're trying to do multiple caches. See how that works? Well, it's not a Smith and Wesson blubblblower. It's not a Glock blubbla. Nope, nope, never said it was. But you know what? The first pistol gets me the Glock the enemy's carrying. Or that whatever knockoff firearm is present, you know, issue inventory. Because if I dump a magazine in the back of his head, uh, 11 o'clock at night, when he's trying to get out of the car, chances are whatever he's got is mine. And I can do that with that little .32 or .380 Auto or that single shot whatever, fill in the blank, it puts a hole in there, you know, somebody's beater the size of, well, turns your head into a canoe. I can do that. There's no fair in this war that's coming up. There never has been. There won't ever be. You've got to get used to the idea that you want to virtually make their life so unbearable, so miserable, the wish to God that they never showed up or they were in fact ever born. But nah, they're narcissists. They're neurotic in that they hate you all and they hate their lives, but they're narcissists. So even if they're worse, they feel that they deserve to be here. You don't. So putting a bullet in them, it shouldn't be that hard to do, not difficult at all. Again, remember, you're going to make it so miserable that they're never going to have a peaceful moment when they decide to come and cause this problem for America. It's time for us to get rid of them. And in every method and way possible when the time comes, once they just start kick, once it kicks off, all bets are off, everything goes. And use it or lose it. That's the rule. Use it or lose it. So use it. Use it all. Use it. Use it hard. Know how to use it well. Hey, Mark. Go ahead, caller. Who does it sound like that for the about taking the guns away and stuff? Who does that? Who is that? The one is Ice-T, I think, and the other one is Ted Nugent. Yeah, it's that was quite done quite a while ago. Ed's had that in the inventory. The suck on my machine gun comment. That's Ted Nugent. And Ice-T before that. Ice-T was doing that in another interview and they were yapping at him. We're going to break. Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom. Beneath it off we've conquered and will conquer Ost again. Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom. Our deeds with the cross we will ratty around the bunny flag will rally once again. Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom. Our gallant boys have marched The rolling of the drums and the leaders in charge cry out, Come, boys, come! Shout, shout, the battle cry of food! Never had a loss, cross, we will raffy around The bonny flag will never once again Shout, shout, the battle cry of food! They have laid down their limbs on the bloody battlefield Shout, shout, the battle cry of three Their motto is resistance to the tyrants never yield Shout, shout, the battle cry of three We will rally round the body flag We'll rally once again Shout, shout, the battle cry of three Yeah, this is John up at main bugging you again with a question. Uh oh, I hear the pick. Okay, I thought you dropped. Which would you choose? A moist and magant with a hex receiver or a finished capture 91 magant? Oh, that'd be a good question. The Octagon receivers, I know there was a big argument even with the fins. You hear it both ways. The guys that I know, actually the one I used to always joke about who said guns are for buying not for selling when he hit his son side the head. Well he took it, he did the old, what we call the old crowbar management routine. He took and knuckled his, he put his hand together and he popped his son side the head when he said he sold a Model 70 bolt action and his dad looks at him and smacks him and goes, stupid, guns are for buying not for selling. He was in the winter war, and the rifles that they had were the standard Finnish issue, standard military arm that they produced. And he never had a problem with that rifle. In fact, he commented, well, let me point this out. Him that gentleman it was a friend of the other gentleman that I know I think he's passed away now It was the guy that I served with his grandpa was in the polar bear division that went over to Siberia and fought at the end of World War World War one against the red Russians fighting alongside the whites and They were an American unit and they were using Nagants They had Nagats and they had some of the, they also threw some of those 6mm navies at them and said, God help us. But they were using again what was a later model Zarist rifle and they had the American made Nagats. Of the bunch, comparing notes, both of them said that the finished rifle again was typically superior. Now the one reason you hear about them taking the bolts out of the Russian pickup rifles and throwing them into the... that's a... I won't say it's a wives tale, but you didn't do it very often because the reason that they would argue it is the Russian bolts were sloppier. Kind of like the Nagat in its day when the communists were building it was the AK. And it had a little more slop to the tolerances, whereas the Finnish model was in line with their precision policy. So if it was a choice, I'd take the Finnish rifle if it was original and complete. And remember those came in the same time the regular Russian ones did all in one big pile. You remember that? For $89? You had to finish 34, which was actually produced in Finland. And then you had to capture it against the 91s of the Finns' rework. And that's what I'm talking about, the 9-1-1. Oh, okay, well then it'd be, yeah, the Fins still did a good job with their, what they did is they sent it to, oh, what was it, the same plant that actually, I think it was the Velma plant. And what they did is they did a workover or it was an arsenal field work, field job that was done by armors in the field that had, you know, all the wherewithal to tune the rifles up. That would be a toss-up because the pickup rifle, if the Finns did work on it, they knew how to tune the guns. They had plenty of time and experience on them. The hexagon standard nagots coming off the battlefield, on the other hand, but remember a lot of those were not communist built, those were Czarist built. So they actually weren't bad quality for the most part. And again, one would never know with that, some of those could have been one of the other lesser productions from other contract countries because the Tsar didn't just use the US. So that's another thing nobody talks about. Russia was contracting. They never had sufficient industrial output to keep up with what they felt was their demand to maintain a proper fighting force. So in Peking, or you just gave, I'd say I'd go the rebuilt 91 first and then go the, and whatever I have to use after that would be fine. But the the yeah, the thing about the rebuild too is Remember that the fins did a bet they didn't bet it they didn't glass bed it but they did more to tune up a lot of Contact release along the barrel they minimized all contact surfaces, you know, kind of like if you were gonna glass bed the rifle That was one of the one of the things that they did to prevent they knew about interactive disruption with the harmonic of the barrel. And that's why we have free-floating barrels. The free-floating barrel exercises its normal physics without interruption or secondary contact because any contact with the metal creates a second harmonic ripple through the barrel itself. And that changes the performance of the bullet. So that's why for years people didn't realize, okay, like we're talking about with an Agons, the, uh, oh, come on, uh, Sergeant York, right? Most people see him, show him using a 1903 Springfield, but if you read anything that he wrote, what was his preferred weapon? He preferred the Model 1917, and he preferred it with the Trench magazine on it. The Trench magazine isn't like on the Springfield, it comes out of the weapon and hangs out the bottom. If you've ever owned a bunch of 1917s, the basic model is a five-rounder. But an internal magazine with seven or an internal magazine five with the follower changed, the follower spring changed, allowed for a larger internal magazine capacity. The other advantage of the 1917 is that it had one of the heaviest barrels for a military rifle for its era, probably really in general. And because of that, and the way the stock system was set up, it actually free floats to a degree. It still has some interaction because of the bayonet lug at the other end, but it's because of the thickness of the barrel and the rigidity and the nature of the metallurgy. That was a very accurate weapon and preferred by a lot of the guys simply because of its performance range. What it would do and how it would do it. Well, that's kind of what I was thinking too because I've got some books on the Moisins, some Russian military books on using it, which they did more to train their troops in firing and accuracy and everything. I couldn't believe it. I was sitting there going through my Marine Corps training and I'm thinking, holy crap, these Russians had us beat hands down when it came to teaching the troops how to handle this rifle. One of the things under the Gantt was they said you've got to leave the bayonet on. I was wondering if that wasn't because of harmonic dampening and maybe putting a little downward pressure at the tip of the bore there to make it a little bit more accurate. It's possible. Well, you see, it was part of the math formula. If you read enough on the NAGAD, And remember they never did give them a scabbard, right? They never built a scabbard for the nagot-banette. The assumption was you're going to carry it like a pike. So the thing is that it was part of the math formula for point of impact expectancy with the bayonet mounted, although again, to get it out of the way and shorten the rifle for storage. The Bennett was, you know, was detachable, obviously. But the big thing there, again, is that the Fins were not a communist population. And the skilled trade, even though they didn't have the industry that other countries had, what skilled trade they had was a master's profession across the board, every element of what they did industrially. So they were literally old school still in that respect. Why did they dovetail the front of the stock where the handguard meets up to it? They have those long fingers that match the stock up. Why did they do that? Sharp edges. That sounds weird, but basically two things. Style, if nothing else. But there's another thing, we don't think about it until you get out in the field and you handle a bunch of this stuff. Angular edges, bike. It sounds weird. The best way to get an example is that little things do strange things. Most of it has to do with a combination of you're in the field, it's basically you look at it as water runoff. Now you're still not going to stop water from getting around the barrel. The idea behind this is that you pitch the roof. But also, flat surfaces have a tendency to score, to hit you if you're handling them. They always bite. And so it's a combination of, I think, metal styling, to a degree, water shedding, because that's something... We think of that, that's not a big thing, but anybody who's looking at a weapons system, it's a system that they're developing. And all of the factors of water runoff, carbon buildup, sand and dirt are all part of the math formula for this relatively small machine. And all of these elements, that's what they're there to do, to perform. One of the many functions. I think part of it, again, the first and foremost, is remember that the engineer understands that gravity sucks, okay, and understands fluid and solids respond in particular ways. Now fluids, as in what's the guy doing? He's at sensory duty, he's out in the rain. The idea behind this is that you want everything to sloth off. He's going to be in the snow. It's a small thing, but it's not. Remember that when you work a bolt on a rifle and later on with the some automatic rifles, the engineer knows that if he designs it right, the rifle is self-cleaning to a degree because not only do you work the bolt forward and lock it into place, which by the way is going to move some of the crud you have in there towards sensitive parts of the weapon. But when you do operate it, when you pull back on the bolt or the action works, it pulls and drags the material back out of the working space or contact areas. And like I said, the magazine well is considered an evacuation point. The trigger slot in the base of the weapon is an evacuation point for dirt. Now you don't think of it that way, but the engineer does. And everything is gravity, how can I make gravity and nature and physics work for me? And half of it is evacuating what is not supposed to be there. Moisture isn't supposed to be there. Carbon or solids are not supposed to be there, dirt, sand and mud. And again, even gases are taking into consideration because gases hanging near the gun There's actual engineering process that Mauser eventually figured out plus the gas port deflection expansion holes which are in all the receivers but nobody thinks twice about. Those are there for a number of reasons not the least of which is to reduce the amount of gases coming back on the face of the operator. Not high pressure gases but expanded carbonized gases that are harmful to the shooter. And this is all stuff they took into account back in the day. So that's a good question. See that little point? Why not minimize or why not simplify that by not doing it? Now, I'll be quite honest, we probably would. And to a degree, I would, with all the variations on the rifle, they might have even stopped doing that for a period of time. Or they may have, you know, they may have I mean, they gated the part altogether because of wartime production because that did happen a lot like in Leningrad, Stalingrad. Leningrad didn't have so much of the weapons production of that type. Heavy weapons, yes, small arms, no. Leningrad, on the other hand, had everything. And they made variations in every gun they produced, depending on how little or how much they had at any given week of production while they were under siege. You know, Leningrad, the city of a thousand days. That's a good point. Just little stupid things. You look at them and you go, why would they do that? They did it. Well, they did it with the Dutch Mausers. I know I don't see them very much now. But if you look at the Dutch man-linchers, they look goofy. I mean, some of the stuff that they did, I looked at it as like, why would you cut that like that? It actually has a, in fact, the upper hand guard extends beyond the stock on several of the Dutch carbines. I've looked at it a million times and other than well I guess it does shield the barrel and maybe it's because you're shooting it a lot, maybe enough you could maybe burn your hands somehow although I don't know how or why. But there's a lot of woodworking that was done like that. And it makes for a unique stylization which is so interesting that, gee, you can put in Star Wars movies and people think it's a foreign alien blaster by the time you're done. Think about that. Most of the guns they use in Star Wars... Go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm going to drop off and listen on the headphones here and let someone else in, but thanks a lot. Oh, good question there because a lot of those Nagats came in in every configuration. And when they first came in, guys, you remember at $69 apiece, I even said this. I said, come on, you've got to, if you collect rifles, you have so many variants here and mark my word, what's going to happen is they're going to finally figure out and they'll be Nagant aficionados, and now there are Nagant aficionados, And because of that, now that very rare model, well, it's because people did research and found out, wow, that one really is rare. Well, but they got it for $69. But the next price tag you see on it is $500. And that's because now somebody did a little history and they realized, wow, when they collected all these guns up in the render revolution market, they didn't worry where they came from because they were all nagans. Now there's two ways that happened. Guns were gifted to the Middle East. They were gifted to Asia or they were gifted or put in reserve like the Russians. They did that too. But the Russians took a lot of that old guns and simply sent them to the next person that was going to be shooting at us. Or, you know, in wars where they wanted to make friends with somebody but they didn't want to give them cutting edge. And if they gave them something that was already built, then they're not out any money. And in fact, they might have to pay to have them destroyed. See, that's what happened. That's how you got all those SKS's. And that's also how you got all of those broom handle mousers. Remember, I know the guys that went right over there, I've told you this before, when they went over to China, they were buying SKS's for $9 apiece. They brought them back here and sold them for $56. They made a hell of a profit on them. Now, when they went over on the second trip over there to buy another several million guns, It turns out they had a bunch of broom handle mousers laying on the ground and they were going to run over them with road flatteners. You know, the big steel wheels. And they said, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing with those? Oh, we are demilitarizing these. They've gotten them for scrap. And it was a whole bunch of model C96 broom handle mousers. Well, do you want to sell them? Oh, you Americans want them? Well, yeah, how much do you want for them? And then of course the old brain gears are going in the Chinese heads there because well before they were didn't think anybody wanted them and lo and behold they bought them for you know $3 and $6 apiece and then the Chinese figure they could charge a little more But they still never paid more than $11 or less for a whole big pile of those things. Yep $11 per gun and then brought them over here and sold them for 75 and that classic number is 69.95. I always love that. They just use that as a standard. Now many of those guns are worth five, six, seven, eight hundred dollars. In fact, let me ask you this. When was the last time you saw one of those broom handle mousers at a gun show? Because they sold millions of them. I mean the guys that brought them in. Yeah, it's been a while. Yeah, and they used to be everywhere. Well, they didn't get confiscated and nobody turned them into the cops. So there's an example of a gun that's real easy to see when you spot it you go, man, that's a broom handle. How many of those Chinese broom handles you see laying around at any shows? Hardly any. Yeah, you don't. I heard another voice call for you, my patience. Go ahead. One more thing, Mark. Their Greek arsenal has some uppers in stock. I was just checking them. I was looking for the 24 inch upper, but no luck there. But they do have some others in stock. right now. For anybody who wants to check for an upper, out. And again, Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. You have another caller? Caller? Anybody? Yeah, me. Tom again. Go ahead, Tom. Um, Michigan waste charges against officials who display gunness design. ABC 13 on your side. suggested drew a local backlash and international headlines. Author, associate press published 10 50 a.m. Eastern San Antonio, February 27th, 2021. The Michigan attorney general's office is considering whether charges should be filed against the county commissioner who displayed a rifle during a live stream public meeting and spoke to him. The move was prompted by a request from the Grand Travis County prosecutor's office following a state police investigation of commissioner Ron Klaus. said Ryan Jarvey, spokesman for Attorney General Dana Nessel. House and other county board members were meeting remotely because of the pandemic. January 20th, during a telephone public comment period, local resident Kelly McIntosh criticized the chairman for allowing members of the far-right Proud Boys group to speak last year in favor of declaring a Second Amendment sanctuary. spoke, Klaus retrieved the rifle and held it in view of the camera before setting an S-S-I. The gesture drew a local backlash and international headlines. McIntosh filed a report with the Michigan State Police. County Board Chairman Ron Hensel told the Travis the Redford Eagle the state police had contacted other commissioners about the matter. It is my understanding that any time a county commissioner is involved, The case would be sent to the state police rather than local law enforcement agencies. The Associated Press left phone and email messages with cloud-seeking comments. Charlie was declined to say what charges were being considered. Every event, I'd have rifles behind me, I'd have pistols in front of me, and I'd make sure that I was lined with all kinds of images like that. You don't want to do that to me. No. Piss off and eat feces. And you know what? Those state pigs for even getting involved in it, they all know better. But the state police are the most rotten, bottom-feeding political horrors that we have in Michigan. Because those bastards... Go ahead the room that he does it in has guns behind because it's his game It's his game. It's where he has right deer heads. So he has guns behind him Well, this is because you've got all these again I don't care well how the panty waste piece of trash feels that I have anything in the image It's not their damn problem That's my piece of real estate now if you want to get on the screen and have an interaction It's you if you choose you if you choose it you don't like what you're seeing then you get your ass off How's that sound? But the thing that's my problem that what you got is that what we need to do is again the well I know it we all know what needs to happen here We all do. Okay. Yeah, the big thing that I can say is everybody needs to support all those people I also want to know the name of the state cops that are involved in it. You know, this is our biggest mistake when this thing kicks off Everybody cooperated with any of this kind of garbage sure selling your friend So everybody better pay attention to this and why and again, let's let's remind everybody That's a lesbian queer that we've got as the attorney general. That's a faggot that's in there And that little packet of faggots, remember that queer bar down the street from the Governor's Mansion stayed open while everybody else in Michigan was threatened at gunpoint to close. There's a queer bar right down from the governor's mansion. You guys can look at it. Look up the satellite imagery on Google. That queer bar never shut its doors and had those faggots in there every night. Those Epstein type pieces of trash all wearing purple. And I'm talking about the faggoty lesbians too. Everybody understand that? If you didn't know it, you do know it now. So when you hear all this drivel, it's the other queers, faggots and lesbians and the pedos all trying to flap their yap through this political correctness BS, which by the way, the only way we're going to stomp it down is to stomp it down. They're going to just throw their hands up in the air and just give up. Yeah, really? Well, look what's happening around the country. Okay? We are going to have to deal with the problem. And if you have a problem with anything, especially, wait a minute, we're all here, we're all in our private little corners and our spheres. Now if you don't like anything, you shut, you know what you can do? Shut the image off. If you don't like anything you see there, personally I'd shut your image off if it was that lesbo that's complaining, because that little B is lesbian, I don't want to see her. So she's covered in stuff that I can't read, she was on the phone. She was on the post-movie scene. She didn't even see him pull out the gun. Someone saw him do it and then told her he did it while she was talking. Right, so one of the other queers, feminine slash lesbos saw it and they did the pick a little cock a little, pick a little cock a little, pick a little cock a little blah blah blah like you see in the music man, all flapping their yap back and forth and then stirring the teapots so they could try to make a crisis out of it. Anyway. Well, again, not a surprise. Guys, the assets that are doing this are from Canada. They're not from Michigan. The ones running in Michigan are from Canada. Go ahead. Go ahead. Jump in there quick. Yes. I called you Friday about getting some help to move. Mike, your son was going to give you my phone up. Oh, he's right, okay, I've got the signal here. Okay, give us a bit. Okay, very, appreciate that. We'll try to do it right after the camera here. Ed's an annoying lawyer. Ed taking over more live LTR, coming up. God bless. Bye bye.
