You know, Tom, I'm gonna ask you again, will you put the glasses on? It only can take a second. Just try the glasses. They're not expensive sunglasses, just try them. Well, you know, like, they're something like that. What do you care? They're free. I'm giving them to you. Just put the glasses on. We're sitting here relaxing, having a cup of coffee. We're in a coffee shop. Everything's cool. Go ahead. Just put the glasses on. I don't know, Mark. Maybe I don't want to know. You know, this is pretty freaky stuff you're talking about. All right, you're my friend and I trust you. I'm gonna put you in hand with those glasses. here okay okay not a problem but the mark but i i know tom in fact look at this one that woman's shoulder to looks like kind of a giant slug with a mike at octopus the kind of mouth that is a very good look and with born in its kind of scary is like a ball where not not that i think we have Tom, a lot of us do. We've all been paying attention for a long time. You'll notice, look on the one... Why did you find out about this? Well, Tom, Tom, it's okay. Relax, Tom. Remember, we're all thinking. We all know what's going on. I've been watching this all the while. You and I have been sitting here as they've been coming and going. But, you know, the way to find out how I found out and got the glasses, I went to Live 365, and then I tuned in to Liberty Tree Radio. In fact, I found there are other places like PBN.4MT.com. I'm really worried about this. Oh, I know Tom. Tom, look at that one over there. The one tentacle says Neocon and the other tentacle says Liberal and they're wrapped right around that wall. Isn't it? It's hideous, I know Tom. But after a while you get used to it. I've been wearing these glasses for a long time and you can see everything now. You notice, look at these other people. It's almost like they're a... It is definitely not Rosebend glasses. But Tom Tom once you put the glasses on and now that you know you can never go back to sleep I know okay, Tom. I'll tell you what we go home I want you to get on the computer and watch it go to live 365 Punch in Liberty Tree radio then you can go or you can go to Liberty tree radio dot 4 mg calm or you can go to PB and four mg calm But you know what Tom? You said calm down Start to get focused. Oh, the closet monster lives! Oh yes, in fact, look at that one over there. Oh man, that guy looks like death warmed over, doesn't he? His eyes are starting to roll back. If you take the glasses off for a second, Tom, you notice something? He looked perfectly normal. Put the glasses on and keep them on because you never know what's coming up behind you. Let me check- Oh my god! Oh! Doc, there's one! Oh, he's okay! I got- Oh! I invented the Internet! I invented the Internet! Okay, you're safe now, Tom. We gotta get out of here. Let's go! I had a 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've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free, home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken sick 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. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as Iowoki vanished in the mist for 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Okay, why is it cool to sell your VHS or DVD collections that you paid thousands of dollars for only to turn around and hook up to these lame rerun television station cable things where they charge you for all of the movies that you already owned and could have just pulled off the shelf anytime you wanted. If you'd kept your VHS and DVD collections, duh! It didn't really kind of, it's not very bright, is it? Anyway, just food for thought for the day. It's Communications Tuesday. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Art Kernke, 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 are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio on satellite, we're on AM&FM microstations, AM&FM conventional stations, CB Bay stations and UltraNet, Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. It is Communications Tuesday. And it is, is it the 20th? I believe it is the 20th. I could be wrong. And if I am, you can smack me in the microphone. However, Iron Planet's got some interesting stuff in their auction today. Might want to go check things out in your neck of the woods. I hate Iron Planet because it's really been kind of dicey, but well, some of the stuff, if you can snag it, most of it's kind of pricey and expensive, but there are a few deals. Very few, but there's a few. Like everything else, guys, you got to cherry pick. Cherry pick everything. That's just how it works. Anyway, it is, as I said, Communications Tuesday. It is the 20th of July. It is the 13th year of open, obvious screaming. screaming in your face, arrogance extraordinaire, and pissing on your back, baby in the socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. I gotta do this. We told you so. We told you so. We told you so. And of course it is 2021, old earth calendar. Help me Spock, help me. That's really good. Now do Lincoln. And 2021, Battle for the Republic, the dance of swords, and good work with the printers. As a matter of fact, real quick on that note, just talked to the owner last night, actually got an email, well, no, a spike. Well, she's in both systems. And As it is, the biggest problem they got is getting people back to work, obviously, because nobody wants to. But the cool thing is the people that work for her actually are coming back to work. So they're open or not open. They're open or not open. Most everybody now is just ignoring it and loading their magazines and waiting for some silly twitch to show up at the door so they can either put a bullet in them or... grab a pipe and club them like a baby seal and stuff them in the leaf chipper over there at the catfish farm. And water riles before you went. It's really weird. You know that the catfish know what's coming when you start the wood chipper. for the leftist you're going to be feeding into it and the water starts to rile because the catfish know the greasy oily nasty meat is coming with the dark oily aftertaste you know leftist and it is still better than nothing because that's all we're going to give them so the catfish we can market them to the Chinese you know reverse order will send them that way. Yeah they'll probably send them back to you as tuna. Everybody's playing, everybody, just how it works. Anyway, it has been a very busy week and it's only Tuesday. Couple things I will remind you again, ShopMedFet.com. ShopMedFet.com. ShopMedFet.com. They have some really good buys, especially. Anyway, as it is, for blowout kits especially with some of the package deals, I'm just going through the list again. Guys, you could probably put volume, no name brand. blowout kits together a little better actually now more than a little Actually almost like double packed which would be good. There's no such thing as too much, you know blowout kit Okay, in fact as you'll notice I keep referencing when we're talking about emergency kits flash new wound You know gun channel wound kits which by the way can also be shears can be tears or divots Everybody's hoping for these nice neat uniform holds and that isn't how it works guys. Is it's kind of like going to a car wreck? and expecting those pristine arm and leg injuries and we all know that doesn't happen, does it? Right? So you have to have other resources on hand because what you're doing is basically kind of filling in the volume, allowing the blood to work its course by keeping it where it belongs and compressing and impacting the area so that you can get the patient stabilized so you can get the patient back to where better health is already waiting. Okay? So, this is why, again, you also want quantity. Now, if you do a basic, let's say a bare-bones blowout kit, remember I mentioned, well, a doc needs backups. There's a reason. He may have to tear open another one, you know, use the basic stuff you have. First rule with a casualty, use with the casualty carry. Why? Because the casualty is leaving you. Okay, if I were, again, it depends on how severe the injury, but if it's a mild injury, the individual is going to be keeping everything that he's got on his person. If it is an extreme critical injury, then basic personal items are going back with the casualty. But for instance, when you're working on someone, you carry, the medical equipment that they carry, you use on that patient. Use his stuff first. They're going back to the you know back to where there's more But you might need what you've got on your kit for yourself When the time comes this is obviously the case look at the guy in front of you. He just got hit right ah So you always use theirs first, and then you have backups and spares so that you don't consume your primary where it is standard carry That way I come to you when you're unconscious. I don't reach for the med kit, you know your blowout kit, and it's empty. What would you do? I used a bob because it was in a hurry. Okay, did you use bobs? Well, no, because it was in a hurry. No, you're not in that much of a hurry. You use bob stuff because now I have to use something else to get you, you know, stop you from leaking. Oh, that's right. Okay, so we don't want that. We need to change that. That mode isn't going to be allowed. That program isn't your first best choice way to work. So the one thing I will point out, just to give you an idea of how some of the kits are put together, there is a really good buyover at Coleman's.com. If any of you are listening and you're a medic, nurses, but you want, you're wanting to put together a combat field medical support kit, They have the med fold out. It's a tri big big backpack but trifold Well by or tried me. I want to measure it, but it's a it's the full subdivision backpack Everything's there as far as the pockets pouches everything way it's supposed to be I believe it comes with eight Not six, but eight of the blowout kit pouches slash the stuff pouches for having your basic, you know, each one is loaded to bear as a blowout kit for the dock to use, okay? In addition, you get a serum bag, which is, you know, basically an IV bag, three chambers. Hell, it'd also be great for 40 round, probably work with 40 round AK mags too. But you get the whole package for about I think 65 now hit me in the microphone it might be 69 But it's under $70 and it's actually a very good price for what it is now they have to punch in your medical bags and Anyway, what's fascinating about this is again? With the medical kit bags the way that they are These, you don't have to kind of guesstimate, it's pretty straightforward. You can find all of the information on how to load up the bags, but most of it's pretty straightforward. However, there are some things you may not be able to access. Don't worry about that. We'll pick those up on the difference when the time comes. That's what we got the doctors, the medics, and everybody else for. And with the situation the way it is, What we're going to be doing is reloading on a regular basis. So whatever you put together, it's going eventually into that combat pack, that medic kit that we're talking about, that backpack, you know, the shoulder bags, whatever. Which is why we load the stuff up in the Ziploc, heavy Ziploc bags. The freezer bags are probably your better choice. You can do the cheaper, but... Remember, at the very least, we want something that's going to have a good tight seal and stay sealed when it's in the iFAC kit. Okay? If you're just going to stuff it in. The advantage here is that it's just one bag. Now, you rip it open, you're going to either pop it or rip it, whatever you're going to do to get to it when you're motivated and it's time. I know that there are the IFAX have the cards and everything's attached to it. You know, you pull it out, everything's right there in the little fold out pop out tray. And there's a reason for that because as you said before, if you're fixing yourself, you're hurt. You're either delirious, semi-functional, or at the very least, you know, a lot of pain and still being able to do what you need to do. So they minimize. Now that's a good thing. But... Those things cost money. I've looked at the price. Everybody wants an arm and leg for those things and they're going up in price, not down. Why? Because everybody knows we're going to be shooting somebody pretty soon. Prices on all of the tack gear like this, even used, is going stupid price that is crazy. So we've got to improvise that to overcome, find what we can and cherry pick the stuff that makes the most sense, make up the difference with our own system, okay? In other words, look at the basic and mimic it, but we have to use other technologies to get the job done. One of the things, like I've said before, industrial bags. You want to spend money? You can get industrial gauge bags, or basically like biz-a-queen thickness. They have a slide closure, which is really great, almost like a zipper. So the advantage of this is that, again, it's a heavier gauge. The zipper top is easily, when you open it up, it opens the bag, it separates the bag top of the lip, and you can get into whatever is there without any problem, and even seal it back up easily. If you're using stuff out of that kit, you don't, again, we talked about it, rain overhead. Everything is already pre-bagged. Anything and everything I do in Medical Guys goes into Ziploc bags in its original packaging. I don't destroy any original packaging. Why? I want about three layers of protection on everything and ideally four, but three at least. And if I have the original packaging, I put in a Ziploc bag and I'm carrying it in a container, there's three tiers of protection to prevent the product from being cross-contaminated by anything. In fact, if I do it right, even if I had oils or gasoline spilled, diesel flopping around somewhere, I'm not going to get anything that's going to get into the primary product in this case with the medical gear. Why do we bring up diesel? Well, guys, more and more of the military vehicles, a lot of your other junk that's driving out there, a lot of guys are using diesel. Diesel sticks with you. Gasoline vapors. Okay, gasoline will eventually, it ethers away, it'll work away. Diesel stays with you. That stink is right there, but that also means it's permeating. And when we're talking permeating with medical supplies, we don't really need that, okay? I don't think, I don't know if the oil would be really a problem. I don't think it's, it is a biological, most people forget that. Might have some mold in it, because diesel will get moldy, even though usable, but it gets mold in it. So just heads up there, kind of mold, I don't think anybody's even cross-referenced that idea. But it's one of the things you want to keep in mind with regard to how you store things. Because you're going to be in vehicles or pieces of equipment. You're going to have spare fuel around or you're going to have stuff even just the fuel systems themselves. Some of them aren't all that great for keeping a good seal. Every once in a while you got to go around the wrench, retighten everything. We've seen this with a lot of the new junk. It's just like, hell, it's like flying a Martin Airline aircraft of some kind during World War II. Martin had the, had her beautiful planes, but they had the most crappy, hellacious fuel systems and they were leakers. They were leakers with every model they ever made. Go look it up, Martin Aircraft. I don't know, it's patents is what it comes down to, what they were limited by, what they could do so they had to make their own or they made their own, it had to be different. Because it was different, it unfortunately was so different or unique that it really didn't do as well as you'd think it would, okay? The Martin Mariner was a beautiful aircraft, but it had leak problems and because of that, fuel issues. Several other aircraft, including some that became fuelers for other aircraft, had, well wait a minute, they were martin type and they, oh god, they had the same problem, only all over the blasted aircraft and they were a flying lighter. So heads up there. Anyway, still happens even on the ground with armored mech vehicles and other equipment that's out there. And again, you're going to be carrying more fuel wherever you can because you need range. You're going to be scavenging fuel off enemy equipment wherever you can. And that's a policy, that's just SOP, no matter where you are or who you are. Our first mission, immediate kill, you're scavenging everything off of the kills and you get first dibs because you were the people at risk your life to get it. So congratulations, Devil Plus Good, you're it. Anyway, last but not least on the medical, I'm trying to find a bag because the IFAK bags have become stupid priced only because they're IFAK bags. There are other bags or molly bags out there right now in fact that are about the same size but cheaper because they don't say I-FAC on them. There's a couple that have been kind of standard. There's an electronics bag, which actually I mentioned before works with the HK, FAL and M14 magazines. Works really well with the M14 mags because they're slick side. Same with the FAL. The HKs have a little more wibbly on the outside, so they're a little tougher to get in and out with a new pouch, but probably will work in as you're aware of it. But they're about the same size. That pouch is about the same size. as a standard IFAQ pouch. It has a click closure instead of a zip closure, which is different. But the advantage of those pouches, same volume on the inside, approximately so many square inches internal storage, but those pouches are padded, armored, and that's not a bad thing. So just something to think about. Anyway, I'm looking at, I have two that are available. Unfortunately, it's really, let's give me an idea of how this market is right now. Over the weekend, I went to the site and there were nine different flavors of this particular pouch that is a little bigger, but identical for the IFAC pouch. Oh, it even has an extra pocket on the outside. I went back yesterday afternoon, actually evening, And everything was sold out but one flavor of pattern. And for whatever reason, nobody's touching it, which either maybe comes up weirdly on the algorithm, or it's just they didn't want that pattern. Now, the camo pattern doesn't make so much of a difference to me as the proper volume for the amount of material that makes up the basic kits. Gotta be able to fit in that pouch or it's useless to you, okay? It's a problem. So these things actually are the right size, but in one day, over 5,000 pieces went out the window because I could have gone in and made a deal on probably getting a thousand of these things and we'd have probably put them up on the air because we could turn them out to you people and they'd be coming from one of the wholesalers. Problem? They're all gone. Except for maybe 180, 190, maybe 200 pieces, I'll have to find out for sure because the number was floating. So somebody might have made an order, backed off, whatever, even while I was looking at it. But that's an example of where, you know, if you see it, everybody's gearing up for war. Everybody I'm talking to that's in the market, the system, they're all saying the same. It's like people don't want one. People want 10, people want 20, or at least a handful if they've got like four or five people, needless to say, five, six. They want five, six items. But it's bigger than that. So... We'll catch it as we can, we'll improvise, adapt and overcome. I'm not crying about it. It's just this is why you've got to constantly be ready to adapt and alter the plant. The supply system is dicey, the numbers are not great. It's a broad but shallow pool just like the ammunition. It's a very broad but shallow pool. And that gets shown, everybody gets shown that real quick moment, everybody turns around, it's kind of like toilet paper. It's a broad but shallow pool, stinky pool. Yeah, but that stinky paper is awful handy rather than using whatever else you have to improvise with. So it'd be kind of nice to put some more of that on the shelf too. Anyway, enough on that for the moment, but again, ShopMedVet.com, ShopMedVet.com, ShopMedBeth.com and again, the worst part here's where we are, okay? In fact, guys even at goblet with it. Well, it's not goblet creations, Iron Planet. Guess what? They started doing it. I knew this would come. Classic Gulf War desert, desert dust. Part one, the adventure continues. It's actually in one of their bid, bid sheets. It said classic. Classic guys classic early like desert dust part one Black jacket camouflage covers plastic and that's it a government bid thing No, it didn't just say like, you know cover model to mark one type three Aspirus with assembly You know camouflage woodland blah blah blah or camouflage DC you you know, no, no, no it was clocks And that was with a damn government ad. Well, kind of a para government because they're just a holding company that's doing it for the government because apparently government doesn't know how to do their own sales anymore, which is kind of stupid because it always did in the past. But anyway, yeah, and guess what? They are demanding a base classic price for this stuff. And it's like, well, again, they're already doing that. We're going to have like desert dust part one reenactments now. Just ears are coming. I mean after all we got Vietnam. I mean we could have a Granada thing where he dropped, you know, he dropped onto an island in the middle of a lake and you simulate killing Cubans. That would be cool. I mean after all we're doing Vietnam. Half of you big six-foot tall Americans have to wear black pajamas and rice hats and the other half get to have bunny bunny outfits. What do you mean by bunny outfits? Have you noticed all these kids that are reenacting the Vietnam thing? Everybody's got to have the bunny tail on the back of the helmet and kind of look like bunny from Platoon and act goofy like the bunny in Platoon. Seriously. Trust me guys, go look at the pictures. Most everybody did not wear a raccoon tail on the back of their helmet. In fact, I haven't seen one, but well, it could have been one and just not in my memory jumping out. A lot of other cool stuff on the helmets, squiggly squiggly, octopus, I've seen that. But it doesn't mean there wasn't a guy with a raccoon tail, but okay, the whole stinkin' Vietnam, the army in Vietnam did not wear raccoon tails. And their call sign wasn't bunny, okay? Just a heads up. Anyway, so we don't worry about that because now we're going to be reenacting the classic. Oh God. What that means is that's like the curse for surplus. Okay. Oh God. Classic. Well, that means that the price just jacked by twice. And wait till it gets to be antique. Oh Lord help you. And by the way, 20 years ago, 20 years makes it an antique. What is it? 20 years? 25? Oh well, hell. So that's true. Yep, sorry guys. You guys are in desert dust part one. They're all antiques. Sorry about that. Okay. So anyway, just a heads up. If I could find some of the older stuff, there is still some. There are some things out there that would work. And we'll see if we can experiment with and find that we can get in volume. I need thousands. I don't need a few hundred. I need thousands. And we're all in the same boat. We're looking at fielding how many troops. You're going to be supporting your people in your area. Everybody goes, well, how are we going to do it? We're going to have to do just like we did before 1775. That's what I've been trying to teach people for a very long time. That's why I do the programming we're doing here. You are the solution. Go in, look in the mirror. Congratulations. There's the guide. It's got the solution. Organize Army Equipment Train as militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operation. Logistics, the key to victory. And again, communications, transportation, and medical support are the highest priority with regard to pre-war organization right now. What about guns, Mark? There's plenty of guns. Oh, we're gonna be... Oh yes, and BCT? How about basic training? How about BCT? Basic training. Basic combat training first. Oh, it'll be special forces, don't we all? In fact, that's the plan. We're gonna make you all like a million SF. But guess what? Before that happens... How about BCT, basic combat training? Focus, focus, and I don't mean just shooting and running. No, there's a whole bunch of other stuff involved with a BCT course. In fact, that's why we did that SOP manual. Come back, caller. Can I add to the conversation, please? I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were talking. because when you're talking and I'm calling and I miss a few minutes here, a minute here. You were talking about iFAC pouches. That's the bad thing of this. That's why I asked you about those pouches, those M42 type pouches yesterday. An iFAC pouch, a decent one because a lot of this stuff coming out of China, their selling has an iFAC pouch. The problem is it's more the size of the U.S. iFAC pocket. They're not that big. They're like 4 by 5.5 instead of like 4.5 by 6.5. So you have to be careful finding some of this stuff that's coming out of China. But the sad part is, we were talking yesterday about the tourniquets. And I sat down after we got done talking, and you know, you could buy two tourniquets in that deal that we found yesterday. You could buy the gauzes, gauze sponge or gauzes. You could buy the compressing bandages or the ace bandages. You could buy those combination pads, you know, the big pads for the wound. All of that together, if you buy the two tourniquets and then buy the rest of that stuff from ShopMedZet.com, you're only going to be looking at $6 to $6.50 for the actual materials to make a simple, you know, a basic blowout kit. With everything in here? They've doubled in price now, but if it's something that's even if it's made in Korea It's double price and then they want you to pay shipping on top of that So the problem there right now is in fact the pouch but we can still buy the tourniquets we can still buy the gauzes and bandages and the sponges and the tools and right now mark the way I've got away I'm looking at this Even if we can't find pouches I'm actually going to make a suggestion that everybody listening takes the time, count how many family members you've got, and buy enough medical for one, shall we say, one major trauma or one blowout kit for every member of your family. Because we can buy that right now, but it's going to be awful hard to make a true IV set, or it's going to be awful hard to make a true sterile pad. And I don't think we need to be cutting up our sheeps and our linens to make bandages right now. And not when this stuff is so cheap. But that's the other thing. Right now, it's like, if people have asked me, you know, you don't talk about certain things right now the way you did before. There's a reason. Some things, it's like dwelling on the ammunition. Okay, we do, if we see a good deal, we're going to jump at it. But I'm not going to berate or argue about or, you know, discuss. a product that is floating on its own. You guys, you'll catch, catch as catch can, do what you can. Right now, medical is still in this mode, is the bargain basement of all of your prep items right now. Hell, food is double. Okay, as far as all the rations and everything everybody was buying before, in some cases it's quadrupled. But medical at this point, this is where you focus because it's still on the cheap and it's not going to last. None of this is going to last. Another thing is like I said, I just did it again yesterday because it got them for free. One of the stores we went to had a discount and then on top of that they had a mailing coupon that goes to the store and I got a bunch of the disinfectant towelette tubs for free. Now, it's going to take, I'm going to turn around, you're going to get there dollars back, but we buy enough stuff from that site that's discount from the store that I know that whatever I get, it's spiraling down where I got it for free, I'm going to get some more stuff for free. They're using my dollars, my pennies or dollars while I'm waiting for the discount come back that makes it free. I don't have a problem with that because I'm using them. I've gotten free food. I've gotten free medical supplies from the store on a regular basis. But that stuff, the only reason we got it is because they piled it up like cord would because everybody thought they were going to bang the gong on this coronavirus virus scam. Well, their resolve broke before ours did. and they had to let everybody take the masks off because nobody was coming out to play with the mask on and they had everybody so paranoid everything froze. So right now all of the other support items for your medical operations, the things that you need to disinfect an area that you want to use for surgery for instance, they have buckets of these alcohol prep towelettes that are the size of a paper towel They're like free if you buy them you send the rebate back in and this is a one gallon tub. Yeah I was just at our favorite store down here dad and I was looking at the they've got gloves you know the surgical gloves for handling things or for doing surgery with they've got the like seven different types of antiseptic wipes and depending on what brain you want to buy they go down to 10 cents apiece. Yeah, from 50 to 40, yeah. And Tencent's grab them. Yeah. Yeah. Where's my favorite story you guys have? I've got Food King down here. Got who? Food King is the name of it. Okay. Where I am at in Lubbock, Texas. Yeah, it's unique to that part of the country, but it's like the cheapest place. It's a unique place in that for a lot of different items you walk in and they constantly have sales. We've got a couple places up here in Michigan. We always reference it like, hey, that's like food game. And because of that, meat prices and canned good prices typically are a lot cheaper. And if you cherry pick, you can eat very well, but spend half or a quarter of what you'd normally spend anywhere else. Oh my. Well, see, where I live, Walmart moved in about 30 years ago. And every little mom and pop grocery store and everything around here went out of business. And we don't have anything like that where I live unless you want to drive 40 or 50 miles. Well, you still have like if you have tractor supply or I don't know about Harbor Freight, but any of the main chain stores bought a ton of this junk and if they're the medium sized stores like tractor supply. They've got to pile this stuff and here's the thing, remember they're run by artificial intelligence. They don't get to choose anything about what they get. The system, their mother company sends this stuff to them. Right now, a bunch of these disinfectant items are pennies because they are told get them off the shelf and they know they're going to go stagnant otherwise they've got so much of it. pallets, literally pallets of the stuff. And by the way, I would check Lowe's and any of the other stores like that, those chain hardware stores, because they did the same thing. Now, the only thing that hasn't come down a lot, the more expensive sophisticated face masks that actually are good quality masks, those have come down, but they were always expensive to begin with. Any of the other kinds of quick dust face masks that they were pushing like the blue ones Those are going for a song and a dance. I mean it depends on where you are So you just need to scour the area and I would check everybody but here's the thing They've already started to try and bang the gong because we're all gonna die They think they're gonna do this in another wave and it's gonna be exactly the same this time around everybody's told them to piss off So, the advantage we have is, as long as people resist this, for the moment those prices are going to stay decent. Now, the moment that they do the iron fist crap where they say, you have to have papers to travel and you must wear your mask, once they start that garbage up again, then what's going to happen is A, the area where they started, they're going to, you know, obviously you're going to have to buy whatever, which we would never do. I'm going to tell them piss off anyway and they can eat feces and die. But what's going to happen is, the other half of this is the system is going to eat itself up. Where they need it in parts of the country that are going full communist, they'll strip the other parts of the country and all this cheap stuff you see, they'll turn right around and sell it for full price on the other end of the country. That's happening right now. This show is making an impact. We were talking about those, just to give you an example, we were talking about those tourniquets yesterday, that offer of $10 for $30, $3 a piece delivered if you just buy $10. They had over 10 offerings yesterday. They've got five offerings today. That's how many products were sold now. On that offering where you could buy 50 of them and drop that price down even further, they haven't changed that, but it looks like they had a bunch of them. But I mean, stuff that's selling, but you're right, iFACT Pouches, right now we can buy medical, but if I got anything to ask of anybody, buy medical right now. If you don't have pouches, don't worry about it. Buy the medical box it up stack it up pack it up however you have to do it until you find the pouches or make the pouches that you need Because this medical stuff if this goes the way I got a feeling is going to go And I'm saying this mark because of this Russia China has been drilling in the Pacific to literally attack just literally to attack a why We've got India and China squaring off and two fairly sized major army groups are now looking across each other at a piece of worthless ground. And the world's practicing for war. Their militaries are training, they're gearing up, their people are getting the attitude, they're being told that things have to change. But in the United States, we're cutting the testicles off of our soldiers and they're out there dancing like, you know, fairies around a bucket of gold. But the point is, if we don't get the medical now, we're going to end up, look at Lebanon, look at Venezuela, look at all of these nations that have had economic collapses where if something happens you need to go in, they don't even have a band-aid for you. They don't have any IV sets, let alone sutures or anything for you. They don't have it. But if you've got it yourself on the shelf, and see that's the brilliance of the militia. You know, we talk about the militia as being private individuals supplying themselves with their own small arms. Well, be the militia that supplies yourself with the basic medical gear that you need. Because if you do that and you get it for your family, right now, Right now, $100 would literally buy some basic medical equipment for 10 people and a family. And you've got good stuff on the shelf and even have a little bit left over. But if we go into a collapse, hey, we're going to be like Venezuela, you'll be begging for an IV. You'll be begging for a bandage. You know, let me give you an example, guys. Everybody loves the Vietnam conflict and talking about, oh, that was really exciting. You know, on the Viet Cong side, guys, do you know what kind of things they scrounged? Let me give you an example. If you read any of the historical documentaries about the units that were actually deepened and embedded with the population, when they came across different Viet Cong recovery areas, they were stealing or buying vacuum rubber hose. Okay guys, back in the day you might remember on your chargers you had this fine vacuum hose black plastic, not even plastic, black, black crumbly rubber. If it was new it was good but if it got older it would break down. Well guess what? They were buying basketball inflatable pins, you know the inflation pins, you stick them in the ball, right? Yeah, that needle type, you know for pushing into the end of the basketball they take those and Yeah, well what they did Yeah, use that for IVs. They would take the they would take that that basketball Inflating tool cut it on an angle with first aid state. They said they cut it with a grinder I don't know what they had who knows but then they would find finally file it down take the burrs off it and And then they hooked the hose up to that, the hoses, they'd use thicker gauge if they had to as far as for the volume. And that was their IV there for transfusions. That's their IV line. Now guys, we aren't that bad off, okay? We've got resources at our fingertips. That's why I said before with what they were doing at Shop Med Bet, Even if it's just the lines, even if you couldn't get the needles right now, who cares? You're talking about getting the radiator lines, so to speak. In other words, the blood lines for 15 cents and 25 cents or even 50 cents. Right now they've got a 100 inch IV line with a separate valve. I think it's got a shutoff valve. And I think it's like 45 or 50 cents. Yeah, and it's like guys that hose just by itself. You don't have any idea what that's worth. Oh, yeah, that's it. It's priceless That's the only way to describe it when things go to hell in a hand cart that is priceless Amen mark Now go ahead Colorado another voice jump in there. Go ahead. It's Phil is in Pennsylvania. I mean Ohio go ahead I was for a minute Even here right here. You can see that. There's a problem We've been, I've been treating, actually I have, my dad's widow has a wound on her leg from Brown Recluse Spider and we've been treating that. And just trying to find the bandages, just the gauze bandages that we need to use on her leg has been tough. I'm lucky I've got like seven, I think seven dollar generals around here and it's really difficult. You might find one or two in one and you might find one in the other one. You might not even find them at all. So yeah, but Phyllis right off the right right now go to yeah, go to Shop Med Vet. I know what you're talking about. This is why every time that I buy stuff from Shop Med Vet, no matter what I get two quantity boxes of dressings of different sizes each time. If you go over to Shop Med Vet, you're talking roll gauze, 4x4s and everything for pennies. We're talking like 96 rolls of the roll three inch. I think they're 11 feet or 13 feet long. Okay, for like $8. You can't you can't afford and well real quick. One more thing. The most expensive shipping you'll pay is $10. It's flat rate shipping $10. If you buy $100 worth of stuff, it goes to five. If you buy a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff, it's free shipping, but it's so stupid. I bought 300 pounds. I'm serious about this guys. I bought I still was under $100 so it was $10 flat rate. I wasn't paying attention and I got close to 300 pounds of stuff shipped for less than 10 well for $10 and you get me it included everything you could imagine. I mean seriously and Mark you were talking about those IV sets shop medvet.com has the standard hospital IV sets because see they even know that we call it Shop Med Vet. See they're a medical supply and veterinarian supply but for a dollar and fifty cents you can buy the complete regular IV set in a sterile package with a good end date you know if they don't have any of that outdated stuff left. So you can buy that and it's not that expensive and as far as buying those needles you can go to a tractor supply store and buy the different brand needles. I think it's a package of $20 or $24 for like $6. Yeah. Again, if you can't get it one way go through it the other. Phyllis, before we go any farther, anything else jump in there please. Yeah, somebody else made a comment. Go ahead, Phyllis. Go ahead. The only other thing is, it's going to get to one point where if we can buy gauze in big rolls, I'm talking about, when I was young, my grandma used to make cancer dressings, and they had these big rolls, and they would cut them down, and I mean, I'm not talking three inches, I'm talking, they would cover the top of a table. and they would cut those down into dressings so people could use them. So if there was any way to find those in the future, that's probably going to be helpful as well too. Well, that's why at this point right now, what I was saying, go to ShopMedVet.com, you've got to go page at a time. They have the top-end dressings for what you'd pay for the bargain basement. They have the bargain basement dressings at such a ludicrous price you can't afford not to buy them Seriously, like you're saying in quantity big quantity in volume I've got a box sitting right next to me. Hold on here I ordered them and I didn't realize I you know, I wasn't thinking about what the volume would be I can't fit them in the barrel. It's sitting right next to me here. I've got two inch by 4.1 yard stretch and it's 500 rolls That was $8. I'm looking at the box right here next to me, literally my elbow. And it's 4, it's conforming stretch gauze, 2 inch by 4.1, that's 13, 13 yards by the way, isn't it? I think that's what that is. No, 13 feet, forgive me. But 13, I thought that was rather fascinating. Anyway, it's 500 pieces and I actually have just got the bags. The Ziploc bags right here to repack that box so it's going to go into the battle barrels. But the stuff like that, that's the kind of volume we're talking about. And you're absolutely right, we need it. Guys, think about this. First of all, I'm not going into hospital for anything. First of all, what's the number one criteria for you being allowed to go into a hospital right now? Get that with the Corona shot. The COVID cover is coming up. Well, they ain't going to happen. Yeah, right, that's not going to happen. Yeah, yeah, and the mass crap on top of it's like no BS first of all I watch this now You know how might what my attitude is these clowns and buffoons in the medical industry can piss up a rope as far as I'm concerned I have no respect for any many more. They're gonna have to prove themselves to me. I don't need to prove myself to them I watched over and over again They stay it was all a circus and he knew it was all a scam and they went right along with it They're all standing there. Yeah, but with each other people going back and forth. They had the mast out when they realized of the peasants outside might be around because they were isolated, oh, all of a sudden the play acting starts and they all put their masks on and it's like, piss off. So what it comes down to is most of them are stinking socialists, most of them aren't worth the powder to take the blow away, they would murder you or kill you given the wink and the nod and they've already probably done it as far as I'm concerned because I've seen this for years. So here's the thing, we need to have the medical in our hands, we have doctors and nurses who are on our side. And what's going to happen is this, you want them to do the job, you better have the tools in the toolbox. I've got x-ray machines. What I've done for you, I'm sorry, I've got one more thing here. I've been doing this for decades. University of Michigan had two mobile dental units. Size of an RV camper, two complete dental pods for doing two different patients, plus an x-ray room off the back. Bought the whole thing for $1600. I didn't even know they had them. They have this program in the upper part of Michigan where they travel around and give free dental to people who are in the less affluent areas. Well, guess what? That's in our inventory. But x-ray machines, dental equipment, oxygen units, suction, anything I could find like that, especially when I can find it, it's kind of like on the slide where, well, no one has an idea where it went and they also don't know where it's going. That's how everybody needs to be collecting so that when Doc has to save Phyllis's life, We got everything that Doc needs and we have it, and first thing, the only thing that's going to have to happen is I may not have organized it the way Doc needs it. So the coordinating, you know, like over-watch nurse and all the rest of the crew, they're going to have to sort out what they need and picking juice because it's all there. And then once they organize it, now we understand how it needs to be kept in organization. And if anybody else shows up and needs physical support, we have the ability to do it. We may not be able to reattach a leg, but we can save you from bleeding to death and we can keep you alive and viable. See, that's the thing. Although you'd be amazed that... Go ahead. Go ahead. Jump in there. Phyllis, may I ask you a question? Because I know you were wanting to get in there. You said you're wrapping a wound or a bite. Are you putting like a sterile pad down and then wrapping it with the gauze or are you just using a gauze to wrap it? I'm using the gauze to wrap it. Okay, well the reason why I ask that question is you can buy like a 4x4 but you can buy like an actual pad. It's actually a bandage. where it's sterile that would go over that wound and then you can buy like an ace type wrap like a two inch wrap similar to a lot of marks. Yeah, I've been using those. Okay. Thank you. And duct tape. Okay. I've used a lot of duct tape. The duct tape is only to hold on. You can buy like 50 of those two inch ace wraps. for like $10 from Shop Med Vet and you can buy a whole box of maybe $100 or even $200 or $300 for of the small type bandage that would go over that would be sterile so it wouldn't necessarily cling to the wound and let the thing heal a little bit. Probably wouldn't spend that $5 to $10 on that. And then your shipping, I mean, your shipping is probably less than driving around trying to find things. But you would have a fairly large supply sitting on the shelf if that would be interesting, or if that would interest you. Now I thank you for joining me. Okay, I think you were going to say something or ask a question there of mark a little bit earlier Hey mark real quick I want to jump off here And I appreciate you taking my call because I think there was another caller even with other than Phyllis that was trying to get in and I don't want to hog up the time and I want to thank you for your time mark and I want to thank you for the show and I want to thank everyone for listening and Phyllis, I hope I didn't interrupt you too much here, but I'm not at all my call mark. All right. Thank you very good. Thank you And again, ShopMedVet.com is what we're talking about. It's not the only company. There are three or four out there, but forgive me, I don't have them on my fingertips here. Hey Mark. ShopMedVet, go ahead, call or jump in there. I just want to jump in on that Brown Recluse SpiderBite. I was listening to the radio last night, and I think the guy's name was Mark Sutterfield from Front Sight, you know, the gun range. Yes. He was talking about a stun gun and all spider and snake bites. You charge it and then you run it over the bite. And, you know, within moments, the pain goes away and it heals within a matter of days. Like, you've never been bitten before. So, I don't know if that gal has access to a stun gun for that brown recluse bite. He did talk about brown recluse spider bites. Black widow spider, cotton mouse, you know, the whole nine yards. So, it was pretty interesting. Right, it's a neuro, it's because they are a neurotoxin and the DC current destroys the venom. Neutralizes its effect on the tissue. They found this out when they found out in South America, they weren't buying anti-venom technology. They were pulling a wire off a spark plug on engines and zapping the bites. even as the person would get bit like when they were on the rivers that was where they discovered how the hell are you guys surviving all this? Oh watch! And they did and they showed it where they were just second nature for them down there. The stun guns are over the counter we're gonna talk about that when we get back because we gotta go to break. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run. We are on the mark of the end of the day. Well, it was good that the weapon got war them anyway many are falling. We'll be back in just a few minutes. Yeah, I'm gonna go to break. We'll be back in a few minutes here second or the Intel report coming up. So we'll stay right where you are figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed He took off his three-cornered hat speaking low to me. We fought a revolution 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 a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize 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 what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for 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, dill the land of the free God. because I had no magazine and then I met a man who had no ammo. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence for 4th I bar currently one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east northeast and central Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio on satellite, let's say hi to our friends in the Pacific, and we are on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate Hallmark and Golden Spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Good afternoon all of our friends out there lower 49 including the grace ejection along with CONUS that's the outline that's the core 48 forgive me along with the outline two states territories and the clock it is approximately 6 0 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and it is Tuesday communications Tuesday it is the 20th of July it is the 13th year of in your face pissing on your back wagging their weenie bombing, they're dancing around like the naked monkeys that they are. And they're throwing monkey poop, which means you need to shoot them. Communists, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 Old Earth Calendar, 2021 Battle for the Public, the Dance of the Swords. And again, one of the things we're on, Communications Tuesday, but we're talking about medical for a reason. You really can't afford to go anywhere near the idiot sticks that took the shots and you can't go near any of the idiot sticks who I'm trying to give you the murder death kill shots. So we're on our own and that means that anything and everything we can do to set up a completely new infrastructure needs to be done. Okay? Right now if you go to Coleman's, there are a lot of the solutions there that you need for the pouches, you know, different pouches we were talking about, but one of them, in the last hour when we were talking about the IFAC pouches, there are American available, the Coyote, ACU, and there's, you know, some of the other patterns, mostly the multi-cambis neck. DCU is out there also, that's the, you know, three-colored desert. But they all will, they're all the proper size, they all take the standard insert sleeve, which is designed for ordering everything, for controlling everything. You open up the pouch, you grab that in your delirium, you pull that out, and everything is nested. It already is set up in a fixture so that everybody should have been trained. You're all supposed to practice, practice, practice, right? And basically by discipline of repetition. muscle memory and even in the fog of injury you should basically be able to get the work going to save yourself. Okay, that's what it's all about. So the other thing is at the very least you're all carrying the same basic medical support so that somebody coming up on you can save you if you're flopping around and you probably you may have thought you opened up the iFAC pack and you've got three magazines laying there from the magazine pouch you opened up. and you're fumbling around trying to figure out why you can't find the gauze, well the other guy that comes up is going to use your I-FAC now and get the job done right. And the good thing is you didn't mess it up because you really didn't reach for the right item. You're in an extreme amount of pain. I mean, I can't build too much for that. But it can prevent you from losing a lot of radiator fluid and going into defunct mode. Okay, we don't really want that. So we're going to try and save you. Well, you're a friend. You're my enemy. Piss on ya. I don't know why, because if they get a chance they're going to murder you every way they can and laugh about it while they stand there and watch you bleed. Cops already do that right now. I've already mentioned that a million times. If you watch how the cops act, that's how all those buggers on the Satan worshipping other side, that's how they work. They'll stand there and watch you bleed to death. Won't bend an E, won't pull anything out of their little bat pouch. They'll just watch you die. Why? Because they like that. That's empowerment for them. That's what the wicked do. That's what they're about. So just understand that you'll be doing this fine. In other words, we'll take care of our own after we polish our ass off. Okay, boom, done. Now, with regard to the work that needs to be accomplished here, again, quantity is critical. If we're looking at individual support in the field or if we're looking at the progressive expanded base of support to take you back to the rear, get you to initial aid where better stability can be developed with the tools at hand, then moving you back through the medical support infrastructure so that we can get you to rest and recuperation. There's a step-by-step process. It's basically getting you back from where there's a threat to where under less duress, the individuals are able to accomplish more. And again, put you back into operational trim, save as much of your body parts as we can, and get you back to as close to normal as possible. Of course, you're still going to have that perforation and divot no matter what. That'll be with you forever, okay? As it is, a couple other things is limbs with regard to breakage, in fact, severe bruising. Guys, immobilizing components especially critical. There are a number of different surplus items out there. You still run into, in fact, I have thousands of the steel ladders. Most of you may remember those if you're Vietnam era. We used to get them by the case. They were 150 to a case. They are heavier than SIN when they were originally loaded, but the ladders are designed, or made out of a mild steel, and they can be bent or turned or moved to fit the need of the limb that's damaged. And so that's something that's critical. Certainly you can improvise in a dozen different ways to make a split. But if you have the right tool and it's, you know, again, the tool that, you know, right tool out of the toolbox, it's going to make a big difference with regard to, you know, stabilizing the patient. starting the healing process and if at all possible again at the very least preventing the break from doing any additional damage. You have a full break and it's a tapered break especially. Your bones become knives inside your legs or your arms. Whenever you move remember have you ever you know uncooked bone have you ever had a bone that you've cut or you've broken and you've been maybe maybe you shot it maybe you with a gun could be, maybe you did a roadkill, I've done what your road kills all the time. You get that car impact, those bones, they're like knives. You have to pay attention, know where the wound channels to the damage areas are, right? Because those raw natural bones are absolutely resilient. They can break down to razor sharpness with the way they shear and break away or break apart. Well guys, that's happening inside you just with a break. I'm not talking about you being shot even. So you have to keep in mind that you have to neutralize any motion. You stabilize the patient. This gives the people that have more technology to the rear the ability to evaluate how best they're going to put the patient back together. Your mission in first aid field operations is stabilizing the casualty. That's it. And again, there's plastic splints out there. In fact, if you go to Shop Med Vet or if you go to Coleman's, there's a number of different items that they have on the shelf right now. I don't know if they've got any of the splints left, but they did have a bunch of other medical items like that. The plastic ones are also flexible to where they can be bent. The ladders are the length of basically your arm from your armpit to your wrist. and they will work with leg or arm and the idea is for instance if you have to leave the leg in a certain posture you could bend the ladder so that it can be put up underneath the inside of the knee. You can put another one over the top of the knee and then needless to say wrap and bind those and that keeps the leg from moving. If there's a problem in a particular posture, particular configuration, you can adjust your materials to fit the knee. However, those metal ladders are heavy. I mentioned that. So remember, Doc's got more burden. So it's more likely you'll have those in the most forward area and only a certain number are carried with the medical support personnel. Either the Doc may not be carrying it. He's carrying all the primary leakage material, but the assistant may be carrying another battle bag with all the other technology in it. Now, before I go any farther, I know Phyllis probably is still there. One other thing that I did find in Shep... Bill, is she still there? Yes, I am, Chip Mark. Okay, very good. Guys, another tool in the toolbox. You've seen them before, neck stabilizing braces. Guys, we're not talking cardboard, we're not talking chins. We're talking cutting edge, state of the art, ready to roll, standard size. Next support, it's not traction, but it's support with the tracheal hole, the whole nine yards, about $5 apiece. Now, you can't beat the price. And in fact, one of the other companies, though, forgive me, I don't have a name at the top of my finger tip, top of my brain here right now in the lumber yard. They actually have them in the tactical OD green. Typically, they come in white, they come in with a number of different ways that they're structured. These are designed for field paramedic use. They are flat. They come to you flat. You wrap them, click them, and they lock together and they're already shaped so the way they're molded, they conform to the shape necessary to support the chin, support the neck, stir up the shoulder, and they're where they belong. Five dollars apiece. That's a priceless tool in a toolbox. You're not going to use it all the time, but when you need it, that is a priceless tool in the toolbox. So it's one of those things that if you're advancing a bigger medical kit, it's one of those things you want to throw in there and have ready, if not too. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. It's fellas again. So if there's a shoulder wound, like maybe somebody gets shot in the shoulder, are there any devices or any things that can actually stabilize that shoulder? So actually there's well the mobile one of yeah one of the biggest problems you've got there is it's a matter remember it's not a clean shot if it's in the show you always love that in the movies oh the shoulder okay I want everybody to feel take your hand and go up there to your shoulder and feel the front of your shoulder what's there there's a there's a bone now there's bone back there and I got a muscle even if I get hit in the muscle in the front and a bullet heads through me There's a bunch of bones still over over your shoulder there. Oh, there's a bunch of bones there, too So you're absolutely right about you need to stabilize the patient most common thing that's going to happen is You're going to bring the arm close and you might have seen this before you can use a three inch or a four inch wrap If you have other additional wounds or injuries, you have to treat those first. But what you'll do is bring the arm in close and actually wrap the arm right to the torso so it stays close and doesn't move. One of the reasons is because you also can have, I mean, just imagine what a ball joint hit up there is going to be like. And if that's the case, you don't necessarily want to flex the patient's arm inward. There you go. Understand, this is where evaluative process in the field is especially critical. Most important is phase one would be to stuff, pack, and then wrap and immobilize the area itself just virtually through the rigidity of the wound dressing. However, you still have to, you can't have that arm flopping around. Needless to say, the cravat type field dressings can be used for slings. There's a number of other pieces of equipment that are out there right now that are purely a cotton dressing type piece of equipment that can be used for a number of different issues, even as for obviously wound covering, but also for addressing, supporting the limbs, mostly for arm and shoulder use. Hey Mark. So all that is available right now again for pennies. I've just ended up picking up a whole ton of, well a large selection of all of the items for the upper torso just like you're talking about. Sucking chest wounds, in fact abdominal pads, that's the big thing is that it's a utility dressing, they call them an abdominal pad. There are a number of different sizes, lengths and widths. You know, depth is pretty consistent as far as the absorbency. And they're cheap. And you need more of them. Because again, you got to figure front and rear. That's what everybody's acknowledging now. For years, we used to always have, I still do, everybody, including myself, is carrying a dressing up front. And I carry a dressing to the rear. It's reachable, but it's to the rear of my body. That's there because of through and through wound issues. If somebody's shot or if you have a shoulder area wound like that, the first compress, if the person's facing down, you want to identify obviously how bad the wound is, but you don't just swap the casualty over. The area that's first addressable right in front of you, first dressing comes right off of, I use them on a 1910 hanger on the back of the fanny pack. that dressing comes off and it goes to the wound channel on the side that's up. In other words, your back. Then as you move the patient over, you bring the butterflies with you because you're going to be cinching everything down. You've already wrapped it a little through a degree, but you're going to cinch that down the rest of the way now that that wound area has been covered. Now you can address and move the patient to a degree so that you can deal with the front injury because it's face down. If he's face up, you reverse the process. But and again shoulder torso doesn't make any difference But there are a couple other things like some of these new plastine dressings for sucking chest wounds Again for air sac damage They're perfect. I mean these things are built for this era right now the number of tools that are in the toolbox is improved even for Ford area medical support in the past if you have a sucking chest wound the wrapper that you have for your standard compressed dressing which by the way will still do The standard wrapper is actually your seal for the sucking chest wound if you don't know that. You use the plastic over that, you get the person to inflate, try to get them to... And then you get the dressing in place, and of course, it depends on if it's a through and through, you got a problem because you got both areas, two holes to worry about. But again, study the process. The plastic is not junk. Everything you're carrying is going to be used or improvised for wound injury in the field. That's why, again, study where we can. Go ahead, Phil, let's jump in there. Is there any way that you can actually use the person's clothing? Because you want to kind of minimize the amount of bandages that you're using. So you have those for your use, and they can come across somebody else. Yeah, you can take a t-shirt, and I mean, a t-shirt can be discarded pretty quick with, you know, if you've got a razor. And in theory that would be the case. But remember, people are dirty, they've been sweating. You can use a fraternicate, I mean, as needed. In fact, that's going to be something everybody needs, always having the back of their mind. I said this yesterday, well, every time we talk about medical. My biggest argument years ago about why we need to use tourniquets is I come across a car wreck I got five I got five people in the car two are okay But still hurt but three have lacerations and I've got you know arm or leg wounds that are pumping blood well I can't apply pressure with my thumb to one person and watch you let you bleed to death and Nobody could ever answer this for me because it's politically incorrect. It was politically incorrect talk about tourniquets Well, if you were in the field, you probably didn't have a tourniquet in hand. You take the t-shirt, you knot it. You know, for instance, if you can get a t-shirt or if you can cut an arm off a long sleeve, whatever you got on hand, you knot it in the middle and you lay that over top of the, I don't know, above the, obviously the course of the, of whatever vein or artery is cut. Because what you're doing is you want to put, apply pressure so you take that knot, put it over top of the above or upstream where the bleeder is and then you tie that down. You cinch that down tight. The knot is like your thumb putting pressure on the blood course where it needs to be. You were taught that you wouldn't necessarily use a dressing but you could use pressure to stop the person from bleeding to death, which is true. Your thumb, you can push down and keep pushing and don't let go. Well, that's a problem because like I said, I've got two other patients that have the same problem. So I get to keep one alive and watch the other two bleed to death. So better to be better to improvise with whatever you've got than to fail. That's the biggest problem. Remember, people are all wearing belts. Belts are a great tourniquet. Most of them, a lot of them that everybody wearing now are just quick flip belts. Well, they're perfect for putting some pressure on an arm or a leg. So that's another solution. Chew laces. Chew laces will torque, you can torque them right down and they are going to stop the circulation. The problem is in the long haul, if you're going to have to tend to your patient for any period of time, remember you have to allow for oxygen to get back into the limb, but that's not your concern initially. Initially, you're just worried about keeping everybody from bleeding to death. The next step is to pay attention now, look at the problems you have. If you're having to tend the patients for extended periods of time, all of the other things that apply about understanding circulation and again, still respiration because remember as you lose more body fluids, other parts of the body start to go into failure mode. And so your most important is keep as much of the fluid levels where they are supposed to be as possible. Now here's one other thing we haven't talked about enough recently again. If you can't do IV, remember one good thing about a casualty. They will do whatever you tell them to. I have seen this, okay? There at least is enough of the tunnel vision, fight-flight focus that the person will do what you tell them. If you have a bottle of water, you tell them to drink it. When they try to stop drinking it, drink it some more. get fluids anything into the system. The body will do for itself to a degree. No, that's not as good as intravenous, but one of the things to remember is, this is especially through with burn patients, if you have a quart of water, get a quart of water into the person. Now, unless there's some other damage there and you're going to see all kinds of renal failure and everything else, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, yeah, that's not your concern right now. Your concern is getting fluids into the system. Guys, you won't pee if your body is low on fluids. You will not defecate if your body is short on consumables, trust me. Your system will start to slow down, shut down, or in divert. Your body is a big nuclear furnace and it really does know what it's doing for itself. Okay? Sometimes we lie to it or we trick it so we can get it to not do certain things because we want to keep you alive. The body sometimes will shut down where it shouldn't or where it will do what it naturally does, but it won't benefit you. Okay? Another thing on that note with regard to water, if you have burn patients, if you've got a person in front of you and they got burns, if you've never read a, what was it, a sniper with a Carlos, a kind of Carlos Hathcox book, anybody remember how he was taken out? He was helping men. An IED hit a vehicle, one of the armored vehicles. He jumped up on the top of the thing while it was on fire and saved a bunch of kids. He got badly burned, third degree burns, okay? What saved his life, what later the doctor said, what saved his life is the medics, you know, he was stunned, he was in shock, he was burned. The doc took packets of salt from the sea ration that he had already in his kit. Salt poured it in a quart canteen said drink it. As soon as he was done with the first one he had already another guy passed him another canteen put salt in it said drink it. He said he believes he probably drank three one quart canteens of water with salt in it. When the when the body responded if you don't know what burns do not do a little research. You'll understand what I'm talking about. It's kind of like snake bites. Anybody see what a real snake bite is like? Not the movie snake bite. If you've ever seen what a real snake bite is like, you'll understand why other solutions or any solution you can before you get to that point is really, really nice. But with burn patients, the body is going to try to take and do its natural course of defense. And unfortunately, what it means is that every bit of fluid it's got is going to start pushing towards the wound area. And just do a little research. In fact, I guarantee, I don't think there's any place, I don't think they're going to show you any images. I've never done it. I've never really looked on YouTube that will show you what happens. I've told you before, if you've ever been a volunteer at a burns facility, because they will let you volunteer for those, you know, for patients, most people can only spend one trip there and they won't go back. Just a heads up. So, again, this is why water, fluids, body, remember, we're mostly moisture. If we've lost it, the body will start sucking it in every way that it can. Now, it's not as efficient as IV direct because that reinflates the tire faster, but everything helps, and if it's all you got, you use it. Okay? As long as the patient ate. Look at me. Yeah? Look at me. Here, drink this. That's right. Drink it. Oh, tasty? Good. Drink it all. Gatorade flavor isn't it? Yeah, gatorade flavor. Drink it all, that's good. Keep going. Okay, rest for a second. No, drink some more. Come on, just keep drinking more. Don't worry, I'm working on your leg here. You just drink it all gone for me. Come on, just keep it. There you go. Okay, right, give me that. Here, here's another one. Drink that. What am I doing? I'm putting, the patient actually, they've got to remember people when they're in shock, if you keep them talking, keep them busy, that's another thing that's a big benefit, double plus good for you guys. So there's all kinds of little things that you can add to the inventory of things to do. And in this case, yeah, they're going to have to pee. If you're lucky, if you're really lucky and you've got enough fluids back in them, maybe they'll pee. They might probably will anyway. They probably might piss themselves and even know it, depending on the situation you're in. And worse, trust me. But the most important thing here again is wherever possible, You need to have the tools in the toolbox. You need to make sure you understand how you may have to improvise if you don't have them. That was probably a good point. What do you use? Now with dressings, let me point this out. If you've listened to me for any time in 30 years, I have preached a couple of things. Nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. You can't make a gas mask out of dirt. You better have one. Okay? The other one is medical. And again, Compresses, dressings, all of that right now is cheap, but you can also carry more. It's not that effective, but very unburdensome. It costs very little in terms of weight to carry more dressing, to carry more of everything you need. The military used to teach everybody only to carry one compress dressing. I've taught everybody forever to carry three. And that's how we operate. That's what we would do. We'll, not would do, we'll do. with regard to supplemental, again, making up the Ziploc bags with all of the additional material you need. And like you said, Phyllis, you know, while we prefer not using as much, it's in the earliest stage where we have to be efficient. We're not going to be wasteful, but we bought it for a reason, and that reason is now before us. So we use it where it's needed, especially in critical application, and we don't hesitate. But we aren't wasteful. That's the other thing that's the biggest problem. And one of the reasons is the next part of the issue is how long is it going to take for me to get Bob and Fred and Wilma back to where we can actually get real help for them? Let's understand that the military, once shoulder-fired air defense missiles came into play, you know, in other words, knockdown rockets, right? All of a sudden, the formula for being able to recover personnel in critical areas or critical conflict areas, the formula changed. And especially for unconventional warfare units, the policy had always been to be able to work longer with a patient. But they had to change the formula yet again and extend the amount of time that the doc had to work out of his backpack to keep you alive. And for that reason, everything has to be used to the nth degree. You have to be as efficient as possible. This is where the mental eye is calculating what is needed for the problem and you always have to stay sharp. And it's tough because you get tired. One thing you remember, kind of like a squad leader, squad leader doesn't eat until everybody's eaten. You don't rest until everybody else is rested. Well, because that you're usually better, better bank up on your sleep. And you better understand how to be a Spartan because you're going to be up longer and you're going to eat less simply because you won't have time. Doc is in the same boat because remember this, Doc has got to take care of all of his personal problems and yet he is also constantly servicing and maintaining all of his charges, all of his wounded, his casualties. They're under his care. So, this is where additional support training with all of you, you all become co-medics. Why? Because when Doc can, if you can spare Doc 10 minutes at a time so he can rest, he'll be better focused when the time comes to actually save your ass. Wherever you have a casualty where some minor task can be taken over by somebody else, what's the basic rule? Many hands make for light work. Or at the very least, it keeps Doc alive and alert. And if Doc is alive and alert, then he will keep all of you alive because he will be able to run longer on the batteries he's got. Just little things to remember. Don't assume that, I'm going to let that guy take care of it. Piss on him, I'm going to eat, I'm going to bed. It's not going to work that way. In fact, almost immediately, remember in the field, the Buddy System, the Battle Buddy System, If you use it the way it's supposed to be, almost immediately you're taking the burden off Doc wherever we can. Observation. Observation is especially critical. You're constantly observing to see if there's a change in the status of the patient. Doc would have to run from one to two to three to four to five, maybe ten people. But with a BattleBuddy system in place and you're in retrograde and evacuating personnel, Each individual becomes the extended eyes and ears for the for the medic. That's especially critical because that means on time instant response to a change in the condition of the patient which is which is our first concern. Again there's some some cases there's nothing you can do and you can't get frustrated by it you have to stay focused. Remember that may also not have enough people so that each wounded man has a battle buddy and they're gonna have to probably share The individual might be part of the evacuation process, may have two or three charges himself or herself. That's another issue. We'd like for the ideal condition, but the ideal condition in many cases isn't going to exist. Won't be able to take place. And this is another reason that you have to keep yourself in the best health that you can. You need to be, again, charging the batteries however you can. Keep your vitamins and minerals up. have caffeine on hand and ready to roll because you're going to need it in whatever form. And this is where you got to be creative with your combat packs because remember guys, and I'm talking drugs, although caffeine is, you know, I never do it. But you need to be prepared to be able to stay alert or stay functional longer. And that means when you can rest, you do rest. And that's harder than hell. I've had whole armies in the field and I've had nonstop. You try to keep people settle in or get them used to getting into the regimen right away, it just doesn't happen. And because of this, you have what is basically a field deployment curve where initially you're on a big high, there's this about three days into activities and operations, there's like a... degradation that takes place. Everybody's pumped up. Everybody figures they can stay up, you know, they can stay functional forever. And then after you have that lower sine curve, sine wave curve than about day five, everybody starts to realize they've got, you know, you're not Superman and you're going to have to get into a routine. That's one of the things you all need to be thinking about right away and have the discipline to not get stuck in that sine wave, which creates a failure window. We can't have that. So what we need is the discipline to understand, yeah, I know the tension's up, everybody's excited, but when the team leader says rest, that means you get used to the idea of dropping right where you are if you can. You put yourself into the best level of rest that you can because it may be all the rest you get for a day, two days. Your enemy is not going to be kind in any way, shape, or form. There's not going to be any time out in the battlefield. And so you have to get used to the idea when you're moving, no matter where you are. If you can lay flat, if you have that kind of security and ability to do so, then you take advantage of that and every second and minute counts. Because now later on when we're talking about what we're dealing with here, now you're going to have to double service. You're not just taking care of yourself, but you've got a ward, you have a charge, you have a responsibility. Your battle buddy needs you and this is where you need to be a best level of performance you can you're gonna lose progressively, you know energy and Focus there's a whole math formula this I've talked about this for years. I've gone over it dozens of times myself I've read the reports World War two is probably the best example where they did the most study of Performance failure. How long does it take how long could a man stay functional? non-stop in a contact combat operation. And of course, needless to say, a bullet will stop you real fast. Don't have to tell me about that. But just the idea that constant, not even the stress issue. We're just talking about the natural mechanical cycle of a human. They did all the math on this. They figured it out. Pretty much I've seen that it's on the money. So, what you have to do is understand that you can extend or change that math formula by advancing or by again resting where you can. Rest is so critical. And of course, needless to say, supplemental nutrition, vitamins, minerals, that sounds weird, but it's not. It's common sense. What do you think the military fortified all the rations we used to get? Now we're buying just off the shelf. But the compression rations that they originally came up with, I think we hit the height of that in the 60s. And everything was calculated so that it would improve while not creating other detrimental effects that would hit you, say, on the fourth, fifth, or sixth day of activities. Because, guys, you can introduce drugs, or you can introduce other materials. But the problem is that you get a short benefit But if you continue to perform, you know, operate, you get a wall that you hit and you may hit it sooner. So this becomes a non-benefit, but actually becomes a degradation to performance. Something that all of you need to be paying attention to. You've got to. You've got to. You want to be in charge. I always love that. Well, I'm in charge. Well then you better be ready to manage and that means intelligently manage and that means you better study and you need to master the trade and that includes medical support, hygiene, caloric intake slash, you know, guess what? You're going to be the, you're not a nurse, babe, you have other people helping. But it's your job if you're the officer in charge. If you decide you want that off-scurper job, right, you're going to be that guy, the maid. Well then guess what? There's a whole shitload of responsibility that goes along with it and has nothing to do with glamour. Seriously. It has everything to do with managing a machine whose job it is to be superior in the field and performance to defeat an enemy. And that means everybody needs to be dead cold serious. You give me the best pilot dead cold serious people that are focused on it that I can get my hands on. Oh you can cut the enemy a new hind net. and chop off those ham chunks and serve them on two platters to their sorry ass. That's how it should be. But half of it is again, not just the combat part, it's all the other support elements. Medical retraction of personnel, medical extraction of personnel from the contact is part of the psychological aspect of success. because everybody's willing to risk their lives. But there also has to be this, you know, again, you get people really motivated when it can be demonstrated that you're going to do everything in your power to keep your people alive if they are hurt or to get them fixed and repaired and back on their feet as quickly as possible because you've got the people trained to perform. That's part of this whole process of fighting this war that we're in that we're now stuck in it's coming It's not a maybe it's not a kind of it's not a sort of you're not going to get away from it You're not going to be able to back out of it You're not even a bill trying to effectively hide from it because if that's the case and you're playing a hidey-hole Everything we talked about with regard to medical oh my god You better stack it up in spades because if you're you're gonna over sit over there in the corner watch us all bleed at some point you're going to need medical support. Well, you can come out of the hole and then, well, they finally got the gopher and they just smack you in the head and throw you in the ditch. Oh, they're going to help me now because they like me so much. Yeah. They've been hunting all of you to murder you for days, weeks, months, and whatever. Yeah. They're just going to want to hug you all to death. Didn't you know that? Yeah. My, oh yeah. Earache, my eye. I can say something else. Anyway, so we've got to be positive. Stay focused. Stay energetic. Another thing, again, Phyllis, we've got to get back to, oh wow, way out of here on the left. Sorry about that. But it's all intertwined and it's so critical that you've got it between your ears. We need it in your lumber yard. What I just said, maybe you only remember part of it. Hopefully you'll remember all of it. But part of it's stuck in there somewhere and at a critical point you might recall what Uncle Mark said. Here's another thing. Remember the stun guns were mentioned earlier. Stun guns are, there are fancy ones, really effective and boy they will knock you down. Others are cheaper and not as effective, in other words, that may be disabling a person. But these lesser power ones are perfect for casualty, you know, for doing work on casualties because it's less traumatic on the system but still there's enough effective power slash juice. in the unit that it can destroy the neurotoxin in the wound channel, what we're talking about, snake bites, spider bites, things of that nature. So, if you notice there are some, if you look around, I don't know if Bud K has got any stun guns right now, because some states can have them, other states can't. If you can have them, then yes, you should get a couple of inexpensive stun guns and they should be in your medical kit and ideally they should be charged. Bud-K does very good. They do have stun guns. They've got several. And if the pink ones are cheaper, buy the pink ones. Oh my god, you're gonna hit me with a pink stun gun? Yeah, you bastard. I didn't know that. That's all I have. Oh my god. Well, again, it's the idea if it's cheaper and it's the same model and it has the same output, it'll do everything, but it's in, you know, pink and it's not popular right now because the stuff like that comes and goes. Look for the stuff that's the exact model but maybe with a different casing or a different color on it. Like I said, pink, I'm not joking. There's pink ones and not everybody likes that idea. And you'll notice there's usually like a thousand of those when there's only two or three hundred of the other model in stock. Well guess what? Because not everybody wants the pink ones. Well for the medical kit, pink would be great anyway. But in other words, it can be more affordable. You can buy two of those for the price of one of the others, but they're the same piece of equipment. Color's irrelevant except it would be nice to be tactical so if you want to, although typically they're a rubberized hull depending on what they are, part of the installation too by the way, it depends on the stun gun. You can just take some Krylon spray paint, cover all the critical parts with tape, and just do a little dusting to subdue that pink color and there you go. Not a big deal. But they should be in your med kit and it's part of basic first aid. Now, I will point out again, like the spider bites we're talking about or snake bites can either be incredibly debilitating or lethal. So it's the higher end of the first aid inventory, therefore it should be a priority to actually have a couple of these things in the medkit where they are readily available because the sooner you respond to the attack, the less likely the patient is going to see any debilitating effects. And yes, this works with B-bites and WASP-bites with people who are allergic. I have a very long personal history where we've used DC current with individuals who have fatal allergic reaction. Any bite will kill them. Not get them sick, kill them. Okay, they carry the epinephrine pin and all that stuff. But guess what? Twice, one individual, I know he was a beekeeper forever. I've talked about him on the air. All of a sudden, one day, he reached the limit. He'd been bit before, whatever, but he got to a certain age. My dad had the same thing. My dad could get hit by wasps. Because of his nervous system, when he was beat up during World War II, he didn't feel it. You could get bit with a black hornet, and he would just swat it like a fly, throw it away, and he never had a reaction. except finally one year and we were out in the middle of nowhere. He got bit in the back of the neck and it went to from a little spot in an hour it was continuing to swell up. By the time we got back to a major hospital he had a swollen up about the size of a softball and a half. Part of that histamine response thing we were just talking about earlier, where does the moisture go? Okay that's moisture. That's not air. So anyway, with these types of injuries, we can negate a lot of the other medical support, the DC current slash stun guns, and they don't have to be the most powerful in order for them to work. In fact, again, remember there are some considerations always. People have pacemakers, people have other issues that may need to know about first. The balance is there. This is what's, again, this is where we get to what is unique math. If the person has been hit by something that is going to absolutely be terminal, then the risk of performing the action overrides the concerns about the other medical issues. It's that simple because you're looking for, again, short, immediate, first of all, immediate response. And the short-term immediate concerns because if in three minutes the person is not going to be breathing, that's called dead. Okay, so anytime you can buy more time if you have to follow up with other issues that you have to deal with, that's part of the, what is a cascading response to what could be possible cascading failures based upon what you've had to do step by step. So, again, the stun guns are a useful tool. Well, yeah, Mark, I can stun my bat. I don't like the guy and I'm interrogating him, I can... Well, yeah, that too, but let's concentrate on keeping our people alive first. So, they are a useful tool in the toolbox. And even if you do have an older injury, the worst that can happen is you're going to get a little few jolts from the stun gun, but if somebody's listening, and you have a wound like that, this is going to help to destroy whatever toxins are active. Now, and again, remember, this is an extreme allergic response with other physiological responses taking place based upon degradation of the wound area and reactive to whatever it is that's been introduced to the body. In this case, we're talking neurotoxins like venom. So, and or bibites, which still is venom. Oh, let's see. Real quick, and we have about 14 minutes. I did want to touch on a few other things. I know, totally alien to what we're talking about here, but, uh, S-gas carvings, they do have them over at Palmetto State Armory, and I think they got a little discount going on for the site right now. Uh, I got an email thing and I noticed in the scroll that they do have the S-gas in stock. They're $453 apiece. Uh, they're the Chinese, uh, battle, you know, battle, uh, relics, you know, in other words, battlefield pickup slash trade-ins. Everything you'd want in SKS. So if you're looking for just an SKS, $453, whatever it is, over at PalmettoStateArmory.com. PalmettoStateArmory.com. Palmetto. Okay, go over there. Another thing real quick. And this has to do with, again, clothing. I mentioned this the other day, but I even kicked myself in the rumpus on this. I should have bought every shirt that they had at that sale where I did buy half. I bought more than half, but I thought about that. A quarter a piece for T-shirts, long sleeve T-shirts with button up, five inch or 10 inch fronts, just the V type. several of the items were actually full hoodies. In other words, heavy weight hoodies for seasonal use and 25 cents a piece. I kicked myself, I should have got them all. The t-shirts were very good quality. I don't care if they were used. The reason I would be buying those and why you should be thinking the same thing is if it is something that's tired, okay, not once a worn out with holes in it. But if it's tired, then it gets prioritized with the kind of work that's needed. You're going to be working on engines. You're going to be working or doing gruff work. You're going to be doing chainsaw work on wood. You know, there's any number of different things you can be doing. You're better clothing, you reserve. But clothing that's really well made but already got a little oil on it or something, guess what? That's where it's going to get going anyway. So for a quarter an item, you show up bare butt naked with a towel wrapped around your ass. When you do show up, I'm not going to throw you, if I can put you into better quality clothes, I will. I'm not going to spend $20 on a pair of pants and $100 on a designer shirt here. Oh, it's Cryptek. That's one of the things I got was a bunch of Cryptek. For 25 cents a shirt, I got Cryptek sweats. Okay, now I got all those, trust me. I didn't leave any of those behind. But there were other items that I should have spent another whole probably $10.00. It was in a quarter an item. Another $10.00? That's a whole lot of less hurt and a whole lot of use for pennies per item. So just a heads up on that. Scour your resale shops. And that's another thing right now for a little bit before the next wave of idiot stick stupid lemming panic goes by the drama queens kicks in. Right now, most of the places have just decided they got to open because otherwise they're out of business. And a lot of the resale shops are right now, at least to a degree, kind of open like they were before the whole panic and BS kicked in. Not going to last because they have no guts. They have no intestinal fortitude. They have no brains. They already showed you that when drama queen-ism is plugged in, they're chief of the drama queens. Oh my God, we gotta wear body suits and face masks and oh my God, it's so dangerous. Now we just have to shut down because our commie leader told us, which is what happened. So I don't like counting on them, but while they're available now, because they're gonna be hungry for money, and again, we'll see what happens. You have to watch it. But we have a couple of resale points here that open back up that have had really great buys in the past. Especially if you're willing to go through and just like get a bunch of stuff and say, hey, give me what kind of do we do on a pile of stuff? Now this gets back to clothing especially, but let me prioritize and go another step. I was talking about shirts a minute ago, but shirts are not going to be the problem. It's pants, pants, pants, and pants. In fact, even at Shop Med Vet, guys, they have scrub pants. in smaller sizes for 99 cents, and they're all brand new, but they have brand new scrub pants that are in full sizes from all the way up to 3X for $2.50, maybe a little more for the big, big, big, big ones. But for $2.50 for the average to big size for brand new scrub pants, hey, it's a pair of pants, put on your hind end, they're lightweight, they're as throw away as could be in some ways. Not really, because they're all made. But you know, they're not exactly heavy gauge work, but for just doing stuff to move around to take wear and tear off the other battle pants you got and stuff. See, most people aren't thinking this way. Why do I want a pair of $10 combat boots? Well, so I don't wear out my $400 pair of combat boots right away. When I don't need to wear that that $200 pair of boots or $300 pair of boots I can let them air out I can clean them up. Oh, that's not glamorous That's another part of being in the military or for that matter operations. You got to maintain all your junk And so I'm going to take the $200 pair of boots and take the laces out, open them up all the way, or let them breathe, dust off the dirt, get into the cracks or the toothbrush, and let them sit. Meanwhile, I'm wearing my $10 pair of combat boots from Bowcash. And I don't care. Brand new, by the way, zipper size. And guess what? I don't think, oh my God, you're only wearing a $10 pair of combat boots in, you know, in facility here. I don't think anybody's going to care. So, understand that the other stuff that's cheaper saves what otherwise is irreplaceable. You're not going to be, you're, watch to see what happens with clothes. You haven't even, nobody has really put their brain on this one yet. And clothing quality has gone down. Watch the estate sales. I cleaned out two estate sales of stuff that I actually fit me. And amazingly enough, I got tactical combat shorts. I'm wearing a pair of pants right now. They're what in the in the gray green camouflage range woodland type. They cost me what 25 cents. Got a bunch of other pants for 50 cents. Got a bunch of Dickies, Dickies pants, which are by the way, a lot of guys are wearing overseas in operations for what was it? 75 cents a pair brand new, like on the issue. They weren't even him. So, it's out there, the stuff's out there. But you need to pay attention and you need to get motivated. Pants are going to be a problem. They already are. Most of you don't even realize that, but here's a way to judge that. Go over to Sportsman's Guide. Go over to Major Surplus. Go over to any surplus company you can find and go price a pair of pants. And then I want you to do this, because I do it all the time. I want you to try and find the cheapest pair of pants you can. in a size that hits you and then look at the price. Now understand that like you know in fact right now the average pair of camouflage pants is now $15 to $20 more than we were buying the whole uniform for top and bottom in a good quality product. Go take a look at the prices right now. I can't, in fact, there is no good surplus that I've seen hardly at all to the point where, let me put it this way, I have been stacking up or trying to accumulate the armored crewman coveralls because they're aramid. They are one piece of clothing for 19 or 18 or 16. Actually, I got them about $12 the other day with a discount. And they're brand new in the wrapper. and it's a piece of clothing I could throw it at you, it's tactical, you put it on, you're dressed. What am I out? Well, I'm not out much, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than going in just a pair of pants is 25, 35, $40 a piece now. And it's ludicrous. Because the quality hasn't gone up. The product hasn't gotten better. It's the same old thing we've been buying. So again, watch the estate sales, watch the yard sales, pick up what you can. Even if it's stuff that doesn't necessarily fit you, because it's like what I bought the other day. I don't wear a size medium. I've never really worn a size medium since I've been really, really, really young. Otherwise, I have the big-boned guy. So, large, extra-large, I can stretch those over my carcass. Now here's another thing. As I pointed out many times, get the bigger sizes first and then start going down and cleaning out the inventory that way. Why? I can always get a big one to fit a small one, but it's harder than hell to fit a small one on a big guy. Or a big girl, for that matter. It doesn't mean you're a full-size adult. So the bigger sizes are what you hit right away. Clean out the inventory as best, you know, whenever you're looking at stuff like that. And then work your way down. You still have some funds available. Grab all of it if you can. Another thing, underpants, needless to say. Well, I'm not wearing underpants in the field. I was told we don't wear it. Well, that's if you start to, you know, we could do this right now because we have the ability to collect the surf yet that we need, the resources, the excess that we need. Down the road, not so much. So, and again, where are you going to get it from? Walmart. So here's the other thing that everybody's yapping about. They're already, this last four days, five days, And they just did it again last night if you didn't pay attention on a couple of different control networks like CNN that, you know, while they're going to have controlled, you know, basically, you know, climate change blackouts to save you. And that means that randomly you're going to hit the switch and cause problems for food storage, for operations in general, medical support, you name it. So right off the bat, what that's telling you is they're desperately wanting to turn you into a third world country as quick as they possibly can. Now that's not an accident, it's intentional. We have the resources, we have everything we need to maintain everything we have. If this is an intentional attack, you're just not supposed to figure it out. So prior, proper planning for events, piss, poor performance. And if I can, I'll give you all the ideas I can to be able to do minimal cost, maximum van damage when the time comes. Oh, one last thing. You know, I heard, I hope you heard what I said the first hour. Why is everybody so stupid they're getting rid of their VHS or DVD collections? Well, I just heard people are just watching the stuff that's fed to you by the controlled media. I mean, all this stuff actually came from the controlled media anyway. But isn't it fascinating how this way if you don't have your own collection when they don't want you to see something They're just not going to offer it to you anymore When Obama who were you know with Netflix decides that he only wants you to see africanus babanus kill all the white people stuff Then that's all you're going to be able to see on the other hand I went to a yard sale of estate sale here well this last weekend, and I'm looking right at it and I got a VHS and DVD combination machine $5.00. But, but dad, don't you know we're supposed to own nothing and be happy about it. I actually talked a little bit about that on Friday, what you're talking about. Last Friday we were talking about gaming, you know, and how all the new gaming consoles are. Well, you don't need to buy a physical copy anymore. That's right. All your stuff is either a digital download or it's floating around in the cloud. What happens when you don't have access to the cloud? You don't actually own that. Somebody else owns that server. They can turn it off and congratulations. You don't have access to that library anymore. So you better hang on to your old if you... It's not a library, it's a data cache. And we're not talking about people who, you know, converted their DVDs and stuff into memory that they have in their own home. And a lot of times when people do that with these services that are out there, they're saving it to some cloud that is not... You don't have a physical copy of it. It's a third party control system. It's a third party control system. Yes, it's a third party control in your system and it's usually out of China. And that person doesn't like you to begin with. They'll use you, but they don't like you. So here again, guys, grab everything that you can like this because, well, anybody ever watched the movie The Postman? And by the way, it's out of the book. Remember with the evil militia? They had two movies. They had they had that what was it universal soldier and they had oh, come on. What was the other one? I don't know why I can't think of it. Come on. Oh The musical but anyway, they try to the one guy to try to start the other movie up and everybody start moving and throwing stuff at the care at the at the projector the projector wah boat And so he'd immediately stop that and plug the other movie in and everybody would settle down. It's out of music. Thank you. I don't know why he went brain fart on that. But anyway, it's the idea that guys, we can do better than two movies. Okay. But not if they burn everything and that's what they're trying to get you to do. I had idiots doing this a little while back where they're telling me, well it's downsizing, the big thing. They read some idiot article. Well, downsizing. Okay, how much did you play for them? It's not just burn everything, it's censor everything. And some of the stuff they're sent out. Sorry, there we go some of the stuff that they're censoring is like ridiculous like karate kid I asked you know I tell people well the karate kid that you guys are watching is like it's censored it It doesn't have the original ending. I remember the original ending it had mr. Miyagi trick the other sensei into putting his fist through glass You know and that was a motivation for the third movie well In the digital download version that you can get now that's online, you will not- almost none of them have that end sequence where Mr. Miyagi ticks the guy into putting his fist through the glass. It's not there and he honks his nose at the end. You know there is no there is no mercy in this dojo and he goes in hugs his nose there's stuff like oh There's one Disney got a hold of a lot of the stuff since Disney now pretty much owns everything there even censoring out you can't see cleavage or a woman's you know but They're going to the point where there's CG lengthening hair to censor some things that way it'll they can put it supposedly for your content it's just But it's subject and content and that's the thing at the very least. Remember, why even worry about selling it to you? The only reason they're doing it right now is to placate you and keep you busy for the moment. This is like the whole idea of throwing you money guys to sit home on your ass and drink beer and watch whatever. Because right for now it creates a space. It freezes everything but it's not where they're going. Eventually, they don't need to entertain you anymore. They don't need to give back if they do it right. They've got you in the stupor. You get caught flat-footed and then they plug in the next aspect. I know we're five minutes over, Dad, but something was brought to my attention. We talked about like years ago that they were trying to put in the history books that you know, the Declaration of Independence was written by a bunch of rich white people and it was never intended for you, the people. They put out this BS cartoon. on the 4th of July on Netflix and one of the opening sequence which somebody showed me is there's there it's supposed to be where they're voting on the Declaration of Independence and they're voting on the words that should be in it and they're doing it with beer pong and it's us rich white guys are we the people and the team who won the beer pong game got we the people but otherwise if it wasn't for that we would be us rich people. Right, well that's Obama, and like I said, his story has things to be hung yesterday. So as far as I'm concerned, again, Ali is a foreign operative for the Jewish mob out of northern Chicago. That's why Valerie Jarrett's name came up again. She was his handler. Guess what? He's now, if she's got her tentacle up his arse, he's got his tentacle up the Peto Sniffer Meat Puppets Arse and the Back Alley Bar Whore with the Scuff Knee Pats. That's that's where we are and again, that's Netflix. Who is that? Well those two pieces of crap that we should have kicked out of this country a long time ago for being communists I don't care what the hell they are otherwise, but there's just one in addition to Michael and and Barry, you know being together Okay, whatever we understand that that mess but As it is, again, one of the reasons for collecting the technology, reason I brought it up, it was $5 for a VHS machine, $5 for a DVD machine, and $5 for a combo machine. Guys, these are a grandma owned. They are like brand new out of the box. Cost $15. Now I have the player technology for all the rest. In fact, I got a box for $3 that had part of that person's collection. But in addition to that, DVDs, VHS, most is for the leases. Just to create entertainment, if for nothing else, a break in the monotony. We're not going to be watching stuff nonstop. It's going to be, what are we going to be doing Friday night, or what are we going to be doing Thursday, whatever day we pick is a break moment. The other thing is medical support, as I've been talking about. People sitting for hours on end, staring at the ceiling is not a good thing. But we're going to have to be able to share. We're going to have to have technology that we can work with, people can work with. It's all easy, user friendly, and we can also afford to stack it up. But you've got to do it now. While everybody is foolish enough to get rid of the stuff that they paid thousands of dollars for, and I mean thousands, some of these DVD collections, look at the price tags. Look at some of these price tags on this stuff. I would never have paid what they did, but the price tags are on the damn things. So as you tell you think about how they all somebody to magazine told me to get rid of my thousands of dollars worth of stuff Because that's a smart thing to do know you got some jackass little leftist communist Who's chuckling their hind end off because all they got to do is tweak it you'll put two masks on oh, I'm sorry that's poaching Yeah, all the same difference. I'll tell them put two-faced mess and a book plug-in. Oh Because if they cough they get blood but parts will release so much of the coronavirus Think about it. That's exactly how they think. They're laughing their ass off. So again, put the brakes on that. But if somebody else isn't, you scarf that stuff up and you put together a library, a reserve, along with everything else we're doing, common sense. God bless the Republic. Yes, with the New World Order, we shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire's on the run. We're on the march. We're gonna get out of the way. We're running late. Ed, taking over, and we'll be back at 8 o'clock for the evening intel report. God bless. Bye-bye. It's the power
