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 land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken a safe number and traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be married. 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 torture freedom burning bright as Iowoche vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside 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 of the planet? And good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report I mark currency. That was a perfect one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, north, northeast, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com, Liberty Tree Radio on satellite. Now I want to say hi to all of our friends in the Pacific. And we are on AM&FM microstations, AM&FM conventional stations, CB base stations, and UltraNet. Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. And it is Thursday. No way. Yes way, it's Thursday. It is 806 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is the 17th of June, 13th year of open Sabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. The Penno sniffer meat puppets are at it again. 2021 Battle for the Republic, 2021 Dance of Swords. And for everybody out there, real quick. A couple of interesting items popped up. You might want to go to Sportsman's Guide. Check out their deal slash clearance section. It's at the bottom of the one side where they have deals. And it pops up in red. Go through there and look at some of the smaller size items. I've got to say that. But if you're a petite girl or if you are a smaller young man or a teenager or maybe even in your Pre-teens, if you've got family, you need to dress up or outfit. There are a lot of really good deals in also what are multiples in smaller size items that are end of. You want to go take a look at that. Too numerous to mention on the air right now, but go over to sportsmansguide.com. It'll be not in the very front. Either way, there's kind of a packing order to their clearance. You want to go through each page anyway. You never know when it might pop up. But the odd, really inexpensive stuff shows up in the later pages because it's last-ups. And that means that usually it's small sizes that are left. In this case, it is a mix. There are some larges. But especially for the smaller individuals, you guys can dress cheap right now. And I would take a look at what's there in camouflage. and in OD green or in navy dungarees and such. Actually, tonight I'm wearing a pair of the Italian navy dungarees slash blue jeans that were from Sportsman's Guide. I got for what, like $4 a pair. They work perfectly. They stretch nicely. They're straight cut, very comfortable to wear, and they were cheap. So I'll wear them until they fall apart, and then I'll use them for cleaning rags or for something else. Maybe you stand up dummy for a target. Or the other side, when they're looking for somebody to shoot at, you know, put it into something else that looks confident, they can give high confidence in them, put a bullet in something that's not worth it while I'm putting a bullet in them. That's the plan. That's how you should be thinking about everything. Remember, layer upon layer of deception against the enemy while you're busy destroying them. They think they're doing that to all of you. So, another thing here real quick. Yesterday we were talking about communications and I did get the pictures. I didn't get a chance to go through everything yet because there's a couple notes I want to take. But I would remind everybody, if I know that our battery lifespan with everything that we have is going to be limited no matter what. At a given point we have to be making new or we have to take from the enemy what we need. It's that simple. I mean, and we take from the enemy what we need. We have to create priority lists for our collection units, for individuals, both at whatever level of logistics collection, stripping an equipment off the battlefield, or prioritized sortays and raids into the supply and support system of the enemy, which everybody does during wartime. And for that reason, most everybody's ready to get rid of or destroy their inventories of reserve, which is typical but if you're fast, fleet, and catch them off guard, you get to carry everything home. It's just that simple, or at least wherever you want, cherry pick. A matter of transport, remember each man can only carry so much. This is not a video game, okay? You click and he's got a Barrett 82 on his back, but wait a minute, a minute or two it wasn't there and all of a sudden it's got like 82 rounds and it's like, have you ever carried 82 rounds of 60 caliber BMG? And a Barrett? Oh, by the way, it's just over your back. You just reach over one arm and you just swing that bear at 82. It's like, really? Oh yeah, but first you threw the M4 back over your back and pull out the, yeah, you pulled it out of your arse. Okay. Yeah, literally lots. Bloody hell, I think you pulled it over his arse. I knew you did. Anyway, weight consideration and balance is always the issue. Age, of course, is another factor too. I've mentioned many times as we get older, we're not going to be able to carry as much. And so I tailor the ultra light and durable towards individuals that have a greater need. The standard equipment is more than sufficient and in fact just as useful for anybody else out there that might be a little bit more of a spring chicken. So that's how we balance it out. And the very, very young were they need equipment, backpacks, preparedness gear. We need to minimize their weight so we can maximize them carrying food to support themselves. You don't have to carry as much, but if each person is in the field or if they're in evacuation mode, everybody carries food. Everybody. Everybody, no matter who it is. So again, I can't stress enough with regard to a lot of the different systems that are out there. Again, go through your technology. Look to see what it is you might be able to pair. I would remind you too that a lot of military systems are set up in layers. I've mentioned this many times. So that reason is so you could drop most of the equipment, your backpack, et cetera. There are sub-packs that are attached to a lot of the equipment so that you can go from a full ruck with all bells and whistles down to a three-day patrol pack or a one-day patrol pack. That's the norm. That's how things have been done for years. It's just there are different ideas, but it still comes down to a one-two. Actually, let's put it this way. First, there's your combat load, and there's your house load. And in your house load, your house load is subdivided also. And for that reason, sorry about that, for that reason, if you cherry-pick the right couple of systems or go to one system, if you integrate another, you can still end up with a simple separation process that minimizes time-to separation. It should be as quick and and curt as possible so that you are on to the next mission or moving on to the next task immediately. That's something that you all need to work out while by looking at your LBE load-bearing equipment system and your house load and again balance it out. Another thing, there are a number of rifle carrier packs. I haven't really gotten into them. I do have about three or four of them. And they are designed so they can handle bigger rifles. In fact, they're ideally suited, though, certainly in carrying AR-15 and an A-2. They also, of course, are supposed to be able to handle heavier rifles now. Where they got the idea for this is you see these guys where they're actually having to show them carrying a heavy weapon in, a Barrett M82 or one of the 100 series guns. And what's fascinating about this is It looks great except, well again, there's a guy carrying 20 rounds of .50 caliber, 10 rounds of .50 cal. How much is he carrying to go along with the gun? And don't forget he's still carrying that other weapon which happens to have four, five, six, or seven magazines with it because he sprays all over the place in any of the movies you've seen. And then conveniently, you know, breaks down the gun, you know, breaks down the backpack, opens up the slider and there's the .50 cal, etc. Well, again, you're not bouncing around like a mountain goat when you've got, well, what is the weight of just a barret again on your back? So again, there's a balancing act here. But for a car going in, and this is what we've been talking about just a few minutes ago here, for a car going in, having additional carrier technology is a good thing because the stuff does roll up and out of the way. But remember that everything adds weight, so that sleeve that you roll up is still weight that you're carrying that's dead, unless it's serving a purpose in doing something at any given time. Now, the nice thing in reverse order, one of those types of backpacks with the inner core being the big rifle case that's lightly padded, and then you have the full backpack, and you have all the outer pouches and everything, it would make a good, strict backpack. We've talked about stripping your enemy and dragging everything away. Well, in reality, one of these backpacks as an empty pack would make sense for the third squad. First squad and second squad exterminate the target. The third squad is the stripping unit. The fourth squad is the overwatch that's going to be paying attention. That's how a resupply platoon moves in the field. A and B, first and second squad. Your job is to make contact per plan, destroy all parties involved, and sweep beyond the objective and then secure the area. The third squad is a stripping unit. Now, everybody may participate in carrying material out, just like we would if you were an airborne unit going in. Everybody carries some up. On the way out, everybody carries some up. But the stripping team, the stripping squad, the third one, they have the spare garbage bags. They have all of the other accoutrements, spare carry bags or utility shoulder or horizontal duffel bags, you know, with a zip type. Those are really a good choice. The cheapy ones, as far as, you know, for, you know, not a whole bunch of pockets, just one big center chamber. Everything goes in the garbage bag because it's got some mess on it. The garbage bag is tagged bag and already prepped for that so you actually know where it came off. You might even take a digital camera and you take a picture of the casualty. Then you bag all the material that comes off the corpse. That gets a zip-tie shut or a tie shut, whatever you're going to do, with a tag on board that identifies it by number. And that goes in the duffel bag. However many of these bundles will sit in one of those horizontal coat bags, that's fine. And you've got to come up with method and madness on that, figure out what's the average. So you're going to be bundling up uniforms, underclothes, LBE, and any other impersonal blinds. You're going to be individually bagged in tag. Now, depending on the situation, the type of raid, just keeping this stuff mumbled together may be all the only option. OK, rings. not dog tags, all that's going to go into the bag with everything else. That's going to be sealed up and that's going in, you know, into the utility bag. Meanwhile, weapons, and again, think about one of these bags, empty. Typically they got enough room, the ones I've seen, that if it's a smaller weapon like an M4 or something like that, and lungs doesn't have too much BS on it. You can probably slide two guns easily into a backpack like that. So if you go in, Third Squad is going in light but combat ready. In other words, they aren't going to be carrying even a three-day pack in addition to the magazines and everything else. They're completely light duty in terms of combat weapons only, and that's it, with some water. Otherwise, that backpack that you're filling up with junk is going to go on their back. Shoulder bag one or two is going to be dragged away with them. Ideally, you can even do the stretcher buddy system because if you pick the right utility bags, they're kind of like gym bags that get a hand hold on each end. So two men can carry two bags. One guy on one end with one arm picking up each bag from one end, and the other guy on the opposite end down the other end doing the same thing. And you scoot out a lot of there like you're moving a stretcher. It's not going to be as rigid, so you've got to come up with a system that's going to work on this. Now even stretchers would work, but remember if you have a lot of extra gear, example, you take a position, it's a checkpoint, you're going to strip it bare-butt naked of everything anyway. The additional personnel that can be designated from the first or second squad would acquire all materials that are, you know, pick up what's necessary or between all of the first and second squad as they withdraw from the area and they're overwatched by fourth squad. Remember, fourth squad is still out there waiting. The objective is to pull back all of the equipment that you can and not leave anything behind. There isn't anything that's going to be left behind. Now, the short term is you haul it out and if need be because your baggers, it's kind of like a bag boy at Kroger's, in this case it's a bag boy in kill zone. The bag boy in kill zone has also, to a degree, with the secondary bags, prioritize what's there if there's other equipment. And so you may re-cash on your way back to a final destination simply to lighten the load for transport. And you can of course cache the stuff in another location, a cache or cache tomato, tomato, take your pick. Whatever you want. Because my sergeant said it was a cache and he was a guy in charge so I told everybody it was a cache. But it's a cache or a cache. Take your pick, okay? Remember? Anyway, when you do a secondary cache like that, it's not really super detailed. And again, if you're bagging everything, it's done the way it's supposed to be. You're not going to have to worry about weather conditions for the short time that it's going to be in the first tier of cash. However, there's a pecking order. No critical weapons systems, ammunition, or munitions are left in a cash like that. All of the things that you came there for, fighting implements, although it could also be medical, remember there is a pecking order. If your priority parallels both munitions and medical supply, needless to say, none of those are being left behind. Or again, your connoisseurs of supply, your picker squad, is going to identify what is the priority that DOC needed. Now remember that first cash is going to be recovered even as quickly as you leave and Drop whatever material is there it may be another detachment with one or two of your men as kit Carson Scouts But the idea is to recover that material use another path of retreat back to the area of operation Don't beat the ground forever. You may only don't even make any gear trail or Indian trail, right? We're not doing that but the idea is that you evacuate as quickly as possible all of the other material that was part of the recovery slice plunder and And then supply takes over. And both supply and intelligence takes over. I, in fact, covered this in book one and also two degree in book two, actually, explaining how, you know, battlefield pickup should work or best way to make it work. Needless to say, first come, first serve dibs if you're the guy I thought they're getting shot at. But in a raid unit where it's specifically to cultivate a combination of material and intelligence, then discipline must be maintained with regard to control from point of contact and destruction of the enemy to the point where intelligence can review all of the material off of each of the casualties. Now this will depend on the size of the operation, but constantly a survey of all material taken from KIA's needs to be, it needs to be done. You need to have a survey done by somebody who has the eye for it. And there's a reason. Somebody may be in your card deck when you killed off that five-man fire team or that security detachment or that Check Point Charlie group or the observation post and exterminated it. There could be a wild card in there you didn't know anything about. And somebody who might be a valuable target in terms of at least identifying his activity. Example. Always know the ranks and the also special identifiers for branches of individuals. If the enemy is going to deploy sophisticated biological or chemical ordnance against you, they are going to put technicians in the field, not just to deploy and employ, but also another group whose job is to monitor and survey the casualties. This is always a precursor to the actual deployment of nuclear, biological, or chemical orbits. It's kind of an example of this is, okay, you should be able to do air support control off from the Bic and the Choc using Army personnel, but because it's Air Force Aviation providing most of the support, you have an airman or you have a senior NCO or you have a junior officer. who is typically, and it might be even a team, that would be liaison in the side a BIC or a TOC. If you're able to acquire these individuals alive, they can provide a great deal of information if properly motivated. So it's a good idea to know who's who in the zoo when you're moving on and you actually do take a position. Remember that the NBC nuclear biological and chemical technicians are typically with whatever Army's chemical corps and they have very specific branch insignia. Do you know them? Have you studied? Well, you better become a student. Another thing is also signal communications. Somebody may be a new installation field tech or an MCO or an officer whose job it is to monitor or to evaluate the use of maybe something new you don't know anything about. You've captured it, but you don't know what it does or how it's supposed to work. The technician or the individual might be right there that you need to know. And remember, even if you did kill all the bastards, there may be technical manuals that were part of what you captured with that particular KIA and material that the individual is carrying in his or her pockets. Remember that technical manuals, usually there's a mobile or portable referencing. There's a special engineering reference guides for stringing lines for establishing particular pieces of technology and their pocketbook size and typically will sit in somewhere on the uniform. So this is one of the several things that you're looking for when you are collecting off the killed in action KIA's that you have produced. If you happen to have both WIA's and POW's, prisoners of war, then you have a live subject to have a discussion with. Does it burn? Does it burn? Well, I don't really think I like him very much. Well, you're human just like us. Really? Not anymore. Sorry, they chose you. Like I said, you choose to come down the road. I plan on making sure you can't get back. Just that simple. So, a couple other things here real quick is again, those bags are kind of cool and that they do have a couple of other add-ons. However, utility bags that you want, preferably again, the rain-tight, water-tight are kind of handy. Yeah, because some of the stuff you're going to pick up isn't going to be kind of leaky and you can't always be safe. So you want to make sure you can contain whatever juiciness is on the equipment. When it gets back, you're going to process it. You open a bag at a time, the processing personnel are, and then they're going to evaluate the breakdown or they're going to keep together the person keeping together the equipment. This includes corporate. Other items, I thought the tattoos were weak. Oh, any better? Oh, little. Here we go. Try that. Okay. Well, that's interesting. We'll keep up. I'll do it this way. As it stands, again, We're at the bottom of the hour here. Let's do this since we are close. I know Ed's right there. Throw the dart and Harvest us sorry, you know what says I'm a blind guardian. What the hell blind guardian Ed and Let's see harvest of sorrow because they're interesting piece and this is a muggle band, which I think is fascinating They've been around for a long time. It's not like they're spring chickens either So for everybody, again, remember, you have to plan ahead. If you're going to go in and array, everybody participates, but it's not ad hoc. You know, like you make it, let's always try to make it look that way in the movies, because they don't want you to understand that there is planning in every aspect of field operations. Okay. And very specifically in this case, with regard to, well, you're going to strip the beer you need off the enemy's body. Well that's a great idea, but you better make sure you have a plan on how to do it. In fact, you even want to kind of teach everybody and practice specifically how to get everything off a body as quickly as possible, minimize, maximize. How many bodies you have to strip? Quite a few. We'll be right back. Blind Guard here. We are back. Thank you, Edward. and Harvest of Sorrow, Blind Guardian. By the way, you will find that in If You Look and Look Hard Enough, in each of the different mediums out there, BitShoot, and also in YouTube, which YouTube of course God knows what they ban. Arbitrary Throw the Dirt, with a purple-haired idiot. Anyway, what's fascinating is that song has been done in multiple languages. And at first when you hear it, you recognize the tune, but something's wrong. The words, you're expecting, oh, wait a minute. What language is that? What did I pick? Which is kind of cool. So again, the band is quite talented and unique, to say the least. So Blind Guardian, and again, Harvest of Sorrow. I think that's kind of appropriate to say what we're talking about because It's bad for the bad guys. Now here's the thing, it's equal opportunity, oh, oxamiotime on the battlefield. And what that means is you're going to have casualties too. We don't leave anything behind. If we can help it, needless to say, the argument is we never leave our own behind. But at the very least, I will point out right away, The stuff that you see in the movies you don't have to apologize to me for taking my canteen if I'm dead Okay, seriously and my ammunition and you think you need the gun Well, will you kill more of the bastards that kill me? You don't have to apologize You're doing the job you're supposed to do double-plus good. Keep it up That's something that is no back and forth the like the war in the Pacific. It's like oh We have to strip our own people. Nobody even thought twice about that. I don't know where that came from in terms of, unless you were very new to the process, it was a given that whatever you carried into the battlefield, first of all you were GI Joe, remember that term they came up with? General issue. Well, if you're carrying ammunition, everything and anything that's being carried by somebody else, whatever calories it took to get it there, you're gonna make sure that the rest of it, you take advantage of it, you use it up. It's gonna happen, water, food. even clothing is needed. And that's something especially when most people don't realize, you know, they always show these BS movies where everybody's pristine and y'all had everything just the way it's supposed to be in the beginning of World War II and that is not how it was at all. You guys had the clothes rotting off their back. Half the time they're reading Japanese rations as often as they were eating American and for a little while they're reading Japanese rations more and only because they had to become aggressive, capture the enemy stuff along with the position and then they had a chance to eat. And still the clothes were rotting off their backs. If somebody else had a pair of boots and they were dead the boots weren't going to do the dead man any good. Okay, so they didn't ask permission the dead guy would appreciate it. Hell, the dead guy whose boots you're taking, he might have taken them from somebody else's body. And he kind of figured if there was some mileage left in him, you use it. See how that works? They don't even think twice about that. In fact, I'm going to give you pre-permission if I'm dead-dyed, dead-dentified there. In fact, you might notice I might even have a magazine left in my hand. And I've outgated it, stretched out. Why? I figured, well, it'd make it a little easier for you to find the first one. If I'm dying, and it's my last gasp, it'd be like, ugh. There's one mag. Last mag. Actually, it's the only mag that had the ammo in it. It may have saved you some time. Seriously, that's how you have to be thinking across the board before we get into this. Bottom line, everything we have is for the war effort if it's especially forward area field operations. I don't care who the hell uses it as long as they kill the bastards on the other side. And like I said, do some revenge for me. Think about it that way. You know, take my ammunition man and, you know, avenge me. Remember that line from Red Dawn behind the fence? Avenge me. Well, it's kind of what I'm saying when you pull the trigger, right? You pull the trigger with my ammo and it's kind of like me saying avenge me. It works out just fine for me. Double plus good, thumbs up. Same with my magazines. Anything else? See how that works? So, now there is one thing, and there are certain things that are sacred to certain elements. Now, if the enemy caption can't stop that. But I would point something out. Colonial marine units issue a blade to each member. I've talked about this for years. This is a ceremony. If you ever get a chance, a CMM unit, no matter how big or small, when it starts out, There is the flag ceremony, and then there is the blade ceremony. Now the blade, well, I can tell you, one of the most common blades is the M1918 knuckle duster. And in this case, each one is serial numbered to the individual. That number will never be issued to another person. That knife is that person's entry into the established organization. If we're in the field, And a blade is recovered. It is supposed to be, or it should be, through your honor, it is a duty of the unit to return the blade to the family. That is, and again, it's tough because, and it's not tough because, well, I'm gonna keep it. It's tough because in some cases the situation can get pretty bad and there might be quite a few blades having to be carried back. And you gotta recover and you may not be able to. Okay, I understand. But my point is, This is part of the courtesy of an ally and something you need to remember, part of our is free decor. So you people need to understand that. If you have a CMM member and the person is in your custody and he passes away, I'd probably tell you the same thing. Man, you see him before I go take the rifle and do whatever you gotta do. But again, there's a few things, send this to my wife, et cetera, or family members. The blade is a given. It's an automatic, it is a sacred heritage historical device. Within, it is part of our history. Okay, so it's just something for you to remember. You are going to run into and see colonial marine units in every area, every field of operation, every place. They're going to be there. And growing very quickly as this thing escalates as quickly as we expect. What will happen, the ranks will virgin. in a very short period of time because we already have the institution, we already have the infrastructure, we already have the individual components established, and expanding on that, we already have the cadre to expand and make the Colonial Marine militia a massive formation. Now again, there's a reason for that. If I had you come to me and you're a former Marine, you're going to go to the CMM. It makes sense. I want you to, first of all, let's think about this. It's like when we've talked about other branches of service. Now you may choose not to do this. A lot of militias are a mixed bag of people. Guys from the Marines, guys from the Army, guys from the Navy, guys from the Air Force, hell even the Coast Guard. And other people who have never been in any service at all. They're not going to take you and say, man, you were the Marines, get your ass over there. That's not going to happen. But if you're coming in as an independent group of people and as a group that have kind of just, you know, figured, hey, we'll go help these guys out, you're probably going to be offered the chance to join the CMM because you are a Marine and we take advantage of the, again, the training and discipline of that unit. And if you bring the people together of like mind, you benefit from that because there's less time turnaround to understand each other. It takes less time for you to know what you're doing. See how that works? And you all need to be thinking the same way. If you have a detachment, let's say I'm talking to some of you have two or three hundred men that are organized. It behooves you. They don't have to be CMM, but it behooves you if you're just randomly organizing anyway. Let's say they've got two or three people here, four or five people there. Another person comes in, you have a recruitment event, and you have a bunch of people come in. Anybody who's a Marine, anybody here a former Marine? Oh, it was a Marine. Okay, that's cool. Now, guess what? You're going to be again, kind of. Raise your hand. Who said that? Yeah, there you go. Well, hold that group over there. You're all Marines. Slide over that way. Congratulations. You're going to be with men of like mind. And the same is true with Air Force. And there's another reason with the specialized services is they have unique training that would be beneficial if you have to build components inside your unit. We're in Michigan. We got water everywhere, dudes. I mean, come on. We can use riverine and we can use, again, naval militia. We already have a specific amount of people moving in that direction. But if you were organizing in your and any of the deep water states, the sloppy states like we are, Michigan, Wisconsin, the Mississippi River, the Ohio Valley with the Ohio River, then naval personnel would be angled towards that mission. There's barges and boats on the rivers that would be put to use. Why do I need to try and cross train somebody who doesn't have a clue when I got a whole gaggle of people that can make up a crew? See how that works? So you've got to be thinking, you've got to be thinking now, and you've got to be ready to move on your feet. Army personnel, what are we personnel? Now, again, they're not going to stop, and it would be stupid. If somebody's already organized a 40-man platoon or a squad, and they're co-pacetic with what they're doing, and they want to stay because they know each other and they trust each other, that's okay. But you give them the option, and in many cases, especially if it's one or two of this, and there's 40 people, and everybody kind of came in at about the same time. They're not really organized as a team. It's just 40, 50, 60, 10, 20 people, whatever. Then you give, first of all, you identify the resources, and you give them the option. And you benefit from the training or the experience that already exists. By the way, Merchant Marine Council in there with an AP. Because again, time on the water, all time on the water is good, just like all stick time in a plane is good. I don't care what it is you're flying, all stick time is good time. All is beneficial, okay? So another consideration here with your own personnel, and we've talked about this, is again, not a happy thing to think about, but you gotta have to be thinking about it in advance so you don't get caught flat footed as Gregg's registration. And there are people who actually do that in your community, so to speak, anyway. Some of them are, again, going to probably be part of your operation. They probably don't want to be morticians, and they probably don't want to do that job. In fact, they were thinking they were going to put people in graves, not be digging the ward. I'm going to say digging, because they may not be the diggers, but they have to take the process personnel and get them back to where they need to be. SKIA's. But if their expertise is available, then you might want to ask them to wear an extra hat and maybe be able to rotate in to help with something like that. And that's something that needs to be put into the works now on your little clipboard there with little notations. You need to have that in place now. Not wait for the last minute and have bodies on your hands and not know what to do. You've got to make decisions now because we are going to war. And you need to be prepared for that. Another thing Shovels, and I've said this a million times, you know, there's an old term, idiot stick. Well, shovel still is one of the most critical tools from the engineer and on the battlefield. I know there's demolitions, I could build out with a charge, yeah, well sure you can, but it makes noise and draws attention and we might need the charge for something else to blow it up, take a wheel off it or something, maybe a track. So instead, the Armstrong tools are critical. Keep collecting saving up and in fact you want to do a little favor Here's one of the many things you can do watch yard sales to usually either for free or a dollar a shovel or a dollar You know for it can be a spade. It can be a regular dirt shovel. It can be a scoop Grab them and clean them up and clean them if they're rusty and they probably have a little rust on them clean them up and paint them Make up an engineer box and or just take a barrel and you know Keep sticking them in there if you run and run into one once in a while That'll be one of your many contributions to the field, to the future effort that really will count for something and didn't cost you anything. What can I do to help? That's one of the things you can do to help. Engineers, spades. Another thing, picks and also mat talks, sledgehammers, et cetera, et cetera. I've got a sledgehammer. It looks like it was dipped in salt water. I mean, more than salt water. I think I can cure it of its ails and grind it a little bit and it'll still be usable, the head will. But I could in theory use it right now if I had to, at least for beating a few stakes into the ground before it dies. And didn't cost me anything, it was free. But I know I can make it better and I will. Got the handle, got to take the time. We got a whole pile of different tools that I need to clean up the handles that I collected from One Direction. clean up and dress the shovel heads or whatever and the other and bring the two together and paint them up and put them on the shelf. Put them where they're useful. So this is one of the many things you can help us with. Another area where it's so simple it's ridiculous. But shovels are, you don't require any other masterful technology. Two arms, two legs and a little bit of a strong back but I'll take a weak one. Just keep doing something keep moving the dirt I don't care how fast you do it But as long as you can pitch in and keep moving the dirt you can get both that's simple Another thing now going on to let's try not to let our people become KIA is the by being masters of the trade and masters of the trade include medical support Shop Med vet calm shop med vet calm shop med vet calm They have a bunch of sales going on as they have there's some other things they've added you want to go take a look at it Also, don't forget they always have freebies The latest one which is probably off, but it might still be on was a free case of 96 3-inch roll gauze and That was your freebie and shipping is incredibly cheap with shop Med that calm if it's a hundred dollar purchase is $10 It's over $100 and headed towards $200, it's $5. And if you order enough stuff, it's free shipping. And it does, again, you'd think, well, it's quite expensive. No, it's not. In fact, you can bargain Basement a massive medical chest by going to ShopMedVet.com. ShopMedVet.com. shopmedvet.com. Okay, another thing work gloves have some phenomenal prices a dollar and two dollar piece for work gloves up to and including armored work gloves, which also work for combat work gloves if need be. I don't know what they have left, but they do have a wide variety. We need to go take a look. I would get a couple pairs of those blue up to your armpit gloves for handling chemicals. It's also great for handling other things that you might run into. And like I told you, you put the Tyvek suit on, you put those blue long arm length sleeves on with the blue gloves, get your face mask or gas mask on, and guess what? Now you can handle something without you being cross-contaminated. It's kind of handy when you have the right tools in the toolbox. And you might recall, it's not that I don't believe in a biological weapon's threat. It's I'm into it realistically not the stupid stupid nonsense Believe me. Oh with the face bras and the just you know, soo-soo spray We still want the food spray, okay, we still want the antiseptic spray then we want the mass But if it's that biggest threat like they claimed it was everybody should have been gas masked up Everybody should have bio filters. They didn't do that. Did they that's because they weren't serious. No one knows the thing real. It's that simple It was a lie. It's all a lie. But we're not talking about, we're talking about battlefield conditions now. That's the reality and you better be ready for it. So all those tools that they're still getting rid of, we're going to pick up. We're going to put them into our inventory and they're going to support the better technology we collect. Okay? Shopmedvet.com. Okay. Now I've got to do this. I got 10 minutes. So attention, attention, attention for you that have been listening in the evening hour. We decided that we're going to go ahead with both the red, blue, green rifle sight option and the monocular with the white illuminator, the ultra-bright sun dial type, burn, give you a sunburn, type illuminator. Now, both of these are Axion, and here's how we're going to do this. You go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. When you go to the donate key, what you're going to do is donate the dollar amount. It is $25 for a red, blue, green rifle sight, red, blue, green dot rifle sight, or $25 for a anocular with a luminator. Now here's how we're going to do this. In the notation file, you're going to put red, blue, green to identify a sight. And you're going to use the term mono if you want just the monocular. If you want both, you're still going to use the same terms. In other words, red, blue, green. But if you want a quantity of either one, you put a dash and a number. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, whatever. The same is true with the monoculars. Mono, M-O-N-O. Mono is easy, but it's totally contrary to red, blue, green. So there will be no confusion. about what it is that you're requesting and why you're sending the donation. Okay? So number one is you tell us the quantity of the Axion red, blue, green sites or the quantity and or the quantity of mono, monohandheld monoculars. And in addition to that, you also in the Notations have to put down your mailing address. If you don't do that, we won't know where to send the goodies. And we really want to send the goodies to you. I want them to get there the first time. I want them to get there every time. I want you to have them in hand. You need to get the goodies, OK? So again, when you go to the Donate key, what you will do is donate $25 per unit. I'm going to now add this. I recommend if you only have so much money and you need more than one of the rifle sites, get the rifle sites first and don't worry about the monocular if you are limited. Why? Because the rifle sites are limited. I don't know when we'll see these again. I was surprised to see this batch. I know why they occurred. I keep it simple. So, if you wanted to get, say, you were going to get two of the rifle sites, but they want one of the monoculars. Well, the monoculars will be around a little longer, so if you need two rifle sites, but you only have enough to buy, say, two items, I would buy the rifle sites now. And then save up your pennies, or if you can't afford the monocular, the rifle sites, if that's what you need for a couple of weapons, I would get those over the monocular if you're limited. Now, if you are able to put all the digits together, again, make sure that you qualify what quantity of each you want. So when you do go into the notes, red, blue, green, dash, and then the number, and again, red, blue, green, dash, and then the number, one, two, three, four, and you can do quantity on these. Right now, I'm going to tell you when this is cut off. I'm going to tell you real quick. If it happened, like if I get so many orders in, if something happens tonight, we have so many orders. And I go check the inventory and it's dropped down dramatically. We may only offer this tomorrow or maybe the next day. I'm not going to try and have to fiddle-fart with, you know, people having to return, you know, we have to return money or whatever. And I, it's not that I'm worried about, you know, you're not being mean to me or anything. It's just wasting our time in both hands. So, we're going to try to be as sharp and swift on the rifle sights as we can. But if you do want both the rifle sights and the monocular or monoculars, then what you want to do is red, blue, green dash the quantity and then mono dash the quantity. And then you still need to stay in the notes section and I need a mailing address. Make sure that's all in there. We'll have a dollar amount so I'll know how many you got, but I need to make sure that if it's going to be both, I need to know how many of each. Right? That's for Uncle Mark. Otherwise, if you just put, for instance, Monociller or if you just put a Mono or if you just put Red Blue Green and there's 25, it's going to be pretty obvious you want the rifle sight, Red Blue Green. Right? Or if you put mono, you want the mono set. I'll understand. So we're trying to make it easy, and especially easy for me and for Ed. So again, go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the Donate key, and then follow the process. It's pretty straightforward. But make sure you go to the notes. Tell me how much of what you want. And then also ensure that you get the mailing address on that page. We need that. We don't save most of any of the data that you guys send intentionally, okay? Shred and burn. We do understand why, right? Shred and burn. We do have a certain amount of information on hand. It's ready to shred and burn. If anything were to be questionable, it's the priority to burn. That's the first rule. So there's not a whole bunch of stuff laying around and that's again, also intentional. When we have something that goes out, Once I know for sure that it's you know, the torpedoes in the water. I'm not keeping a whole lot of information on you around Okay, trying not to now. There's still some things that will be on a trail so to speak for a bit But when we get the button on that that's gone. So again trying to keep everybody happy and make everybody safe Let's see. We got 56 last but not least Another thing here real quick. We haven't had That much moisture this year. I mean we've had good average rain but Remember it's like a few nights ago and a couple of nights before that we had Which is typical for Michigan it is that we're on a peninsula. We got lakes all around us big lakes We had literally water in the air to the point where it was about 90 percent humidity if not higher You still break out your wet weather gear in that situation at least a top But I'd recommend the bottom because remember, the air is heavy, hint, hint, hint. And the closer you get to the ground, the condensate buildup is extensive. And the dew point, the dew collection is going to touch you, saturate you, and guess what? It's going to transfer moisture to you. Now the cross problem of that, we've talked about this before, it's 70 something to 80 degrees during the day. Today it was probably around 75, 76 degrees. Drops down to 53 degrees. Do the math on that. That's a full 20 degree shift in weather condition, in temperature. You can be affected by hypothermia under those conditions. Now, oh no, it's not winter. It doesn't make any difference. Your body is not necessarily going to be able to compensate for those kind of shifts. So you've got to pay attention to your troops in the field. And here's another problem. You get out there, it's cooler, and you get wet. You cross a creek, you move through a river, you end up in water, for whatever reason. Water commutes heat, pulls heat from your body. It's only 53 degrees. Then you get a wind. Maybe you get a wind. It clears that fog away, but you're all saturated, and the temperature's still down. And this is in the middle of summer. And by the way, this killed rangers in Florida. At the swap in the swamp phase I used it as an exact people who were trained a cadet team or a a training Detachment a small group was Separated from the rest of the the ended up on the little swap Temperature shift was the kind that we're talking about right now Of the three I think three three dead five in the group total And anyway, everybody suffered from hypothermia. Even though they got up out of the water, it was already too late. They got up onto a little hustic in the middle of the swamp. They were broken away from everybody else. And the rest is terminal. Guys, you've got a job that you pay attention. When you're getting ready to fight, remember, you're fighting under all weather conditions. You need all of the technology in hand. You figure out what works best for your budget. God bless our Republic. Death to the new world of America. Help reveal, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night. Thank you, sir. For everybody out there, guys, Ed's taking over. Boreal TR is coming up right now, and we will be back tomorrow for the home-public day in Selvicorpe. God bless.
