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 and speaking low to me said, we fought a revolution to cure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught According to the state you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks You do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper. So your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame 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 won't be murdered. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the midst of whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Scott. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the afternoon. intelligence report. I'm Mark Kernty, 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 west. Ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.com satellite, and we are on AM&FM micro stations, CB, base stations, and ultra net hallmark, and Golden Spike Technologies, east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends out there. It is A beautiful weapons Wednesday. It is the first of September. It is 508 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and of course is the 13th year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist. Occupation of America with a gay 2021, old earth calendar 2021, battle for the republic. The Dance of Swords and let the dance begin. Well, wait a minute, it already has. Now we're just getting into the trying to strike and hit the soft chewy spot underneath the armor behind the shield and beyond the sword that keeps moving. That's what the Dance of Swords is all about. Shield, blade, footwork. Shield, blade, footwork, footwork, footwork, blade, shield, shield, oh wait a minute, blade, deflect, and let's try and, there you go, oh, no, didn't make it. Time to start another copy, another routine. Try it again. Remember the basics. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. Couple things, wanna talk about stash ammunition on your person and your weapon. A couple of interesting things several years ago, maybe you guys remember these, it was the magazine reserve, so to speak, on your buttstock. No, not the ones drilled to the side and just laying out in the open. It's a system. In fact, just the stocks are out there. Apparently, somebody stole the internal scam. I hate it when they do that. But there was a buttstock out there. You may have one. You might, if you're listening. and it had a couple of reserve shells, basically like a mini magazine tube that off-shucked out of the side of the shotgun on either the left or right side. Some had five rounds, some carried three. There were mixes of combinations made by the company that experimented, and they took advantage of all that space in the buttstock while not creating any obstruction. And so the idea was that you could shell around out of the stock, pivot the gun a little bit, shove it right into the magazine well underneath with a tube-fed shotgun, and do it again if you had time, and you got two more shells in the gun, off the gun. Now, in addition, we always kind of thought, how many ways could you do this? Okay. With shot shells, shotguns, as you might recall, Remington started out, remember, with the fold over, and this was the big to do, big, big to do back in the late 70s and early 80s. The over-folded Remington with the side receiver mounted shells on a solid rack. Now that's still out there, you can find those. Originally they were cop only, they weren't selling me pheasants, then of course I didn't last long because they needed more money. And those became popular. Of course, now, in addition to that, if you had a standard fixed stock pump gun, the sling bandolier, of course, is always coming on back and forth. You can put a, with the big ones, you can put a whole box of shot shells on the sling. Now, that weebles wobble and then they, you know, they don't necessarily fall, but that's a lot of weight on the sling. But you're talking a full box of ammo on the sling. and then five rounds on the side of the receiver. And then don't forget you had a five round or six round or eight round magazine on the gun. And oh, wait a minute, if you're really spiffy, you also, oh, that's right. You could have put one of those stocks on your gun and you got five more shells you're carrying in the buttstock. Well, on the sides, but inside the buttstock, so it's not in the way. So you end up with a whole pile of shotgun, it's one of the few times where you have a shotgun that matches the performance of the video games. You know the one where you just keep racking and you just have ammo, you pull out of nowhere, out of your bunk hole, it just pops. And all of a sudden you got more ammo. Well in this case, the only thing we thought would be kind of fun is to strap everything on like this and actually weigh the thing. I think maybe one time we did this for a gun show. and we've mounted everything on it the way it should be and kind of pointed out, okay guys, if we add all of this and what you did, we hit a couple of boxes of shells off to the side, this weight goes on that gun, basically. If you think you could put five shells from a slugger box, then five more shells and the buckshot buck on the receiver and then don't forget you got a full box of number six or number you know four buck number six you know pellet or number four buck on the strap and then wait a minute you still load whatever you want the gun hell you got yourself a whole arsenal and lots of pew pew or in this case boom boom as shotguns go boom boom air 15s go pew pew So anyway, just one of those many ways to have stash ammo on board. Now the M1 carbine, we've always talked about that. The big deal is getting the earlier war, well actually forgive me, middle war to late, you know, from that point on, solid back M1 carbine, two mag, 15 round magazine pouches. These were great. Every carbine I ever had that was a standard stock, we always did this. It's a trick that came out as soon as the snapback type web gear was made, which was almost immediately for the carbine. There are a dozen different variations in Canvas when the carbine first came out for the double mag pouches, and they were made by many different companies, each one with, again, a different contract. But they came out in waves. So one type will have 10, 15, 20 manufacturers. The next type might only have five or six. Now the one you're looking for is the one that has a solid back and has a snap in the center. And what it was designed to do, what was that pouch for? Do you know? Well, if you look at your old World War I and World War II combat kits, be the BAR belts, for instance, had this most standard pistol belt as we call them, but cartridge combo or composition belts, basically where you could add all kinds of different pouches, had a snap on, well if you were to do it right, it would be on the front left side of the buckle in the middle. And it was a snap that was consistent. In fact, typically with those belts, that side of the belt was fixed. Whichever side that the snap started on, I noticed I said snaps, not just snap. More on that in a minute. The first ones had a single snap because the 1911 combat kit or the 1911 pouch was built the same way going back to Boyd and all the other companies World War I and that snap was to retain the pouch for that 45 1911. Well remember the carbine was supposed to replace the 1911 remember? So they built all the web gear including a holster by the way if you've never seen it. for the carbine to actually carry it in either a station on the belt or hooked up to where the bayonet hanger was for the M1943 utility bag, 3-day pouch slash backpack. What's really cool about this is that later on when the Army came up with what was an interim web gear system after World War II, they used a snapping system. The Marine Corps ended up with it. The Army dropped it pretty quick. It was in the service completely with the US military for maybe the Army for maybe three years. It was always hanging around. There was gear still showing up for in with your TA-56 gear all the way through the 70s and 80s. However, that equipment was based on and built for a snap system that allowed you to retain your pouches much like carbine or the 45-magazine pouch, but all the way around the perimeter of the pistol belt. Still had to have the eyelets because there was a bunch of 1910 hanger junk laying around, which is good, but that snap system actually was embraced as a primary system. So you could take that carbine pouch, snap a bunch of them all the way around and make like a BAR or a 10 pocket, a Garand type belt, but in carbine magazine pouches. However, the cute thing is if I wanted to be able to add a little more firepower that I could just grab and run with if I was bare butt naked coming out of the shower, we've talked about this many times, I take the action out of the stock I disconnect the stock from the front end. I slide the magazine pouch all the way down the whole length of the stock. I slide it through that pocket in the back. Now, you've got to remember there's that snap there. Some people were smart for a little bit of tape there. over the snap to buffer a little bit, just to bumper it, because otherwise it's going to rub on your very fine walnut stock. Which you will discover if you handle the gun a lot and you bought a collector's item and you thought you're going to make it look like those guys, those veterans, those guys who were in the know from the war. Well then your beautiful little walnut stock that you paid $300 for because you thought you're going to make it look really really really great because with the pristine rock island stock and a rock island rifle blah blah blah blah blah well. Yeah, if you put that pouch on there that little snaps on the inside You might want to take a look and think about that put a little piece of mole skin on there or something that wouldn't hurt You know just like a band-aid over top of this metal snap so it buffers and won't rub so hard against won't rub through with the metal on that fine walnut stock on the Outboard side, but anyway when you're done Put everything back in place and that little fit those two 15 round mags are now on the buttstock itself ready to roll plus By the time these two became really popular first at the you know during the middle and end of World War two By the time you get around to Korea You found a lot of rifles you look noticing images even though the 15 round mag was supposed to be Obsolete quote-unquote. Yuck. Yuck. We built billions of those things. Do you think government was gonna get rid of every one of them? Hell no By the time you get into Korea, 15 and 30s are all over the place. The pouches are available, so a lot of guys could grab a rifle and have, if they just had one 30 round mag, they had 60 rounds on the rifle, if they just picked it up and they were bare-ass naked coming out of the shower. But the other advantage, of course a lot of guys, did the old break out the electrical tape, strapped one M1 carbine 30 round mag next to the other, well hell, now you got 90 rounds on the gun. Which means it should be enough firepower at least keep them away from you and hopefully get you out of trouble so you can get to where you put some clothes on and look respectable maybe before you die. Because it was probably the Chinese who were fighting in the rope or running the position, but at least you'd be, well, maybe not naked. The Chinese would strip the bodies of everything, even the uniforms. They were short clothes. Ugh. Maybe it wouldn't make any difference if you went and got out of the shower naked or not. But anyway, that was another system where an add-on idea. Now there are a bunch of... M4 and M16A2 add-on stock pouches out there. You may or may not have seen them. Some of these are even coming through the Iron Planet auction right now. They're dumping a bunch of them. It's always that case. More money than brains. Government doesn't care what the hell they spend. Right now they're going to put you in deeper debt here real quick and put a gun to your head and expect more money. They always do. But there are an equivalent to those carbine pouches, a mag pouch that locks onto the side of your buttstock, that is the same idea as that carbine stock idea from World War II. And while it's a lot more elaborate, there's a lot more gobbledygook involved with it, Seriously, there is. It is still a way to actually be able to pick the weapon up and have maybe a 30 or 40 round magazine in the gun and have another magazine on board, maybe two, and ready to roll so that if something happens, at the very least, you've got enough firepower, I wouldn't go full auto, I'd be going semi. Always remember that, oh yeah, that's all the rounds you got? Well, you better not spray and pray. You better be placing the bullets at least a lot closer to the approximate location of the enemy you're shooting at. Make them a lot more nervous or kill them, or wound them badly. I mean, hurt them. Do something, but you know, every round counts. Especially when you mean all you've got is what's on the gun. Now you could go another extreme. We've talked about this not really an extreme you go a greater volume you get drums for your 5 5 6 guns and You can still carry that extra mag so think about it. The drum is on hand and in the gun all the time So then you're looking at maybe I don't know 80 rounds carrying a spare 30 rounder now another thing about that carrying that round magazine on stock you may normally use metal mags and And maybe you use quite a few metal mags, but just to lighten it up a little bit, you put one of those plastic mags on the buttstock just to shave off a part of an ounce. Every ounce counts, and in this case, especially with the rifle. So remember, you still have the same amount of ammunition, it's a 30-round magazine, so you're going to get that weight no matter what. What you're trying to do is pair off as much weight as you can in every direction. so that it's just a little more manageable. Remember that we start out taking a weapon that was supposed to be a seven and a quarter to a seven and a half pound miracle rifle, you know, two pounds lighter than the M14 and that was so important. And then we started adding stuff. And we made the barrel heavier and we added more stuff. And by the time you're done, the present even M4 is heavier than the standard M14 right out of the box. Isn't that fascinating? Well, she's I am. Now then you add the stuff we're talking about here, auxiliary ammo, and you got some interesting things going on. Now there is one other thing you can do, and that's stash points on guns for ammunition and spare parts. One nice thing about a lot of the different guns that are out there is that they have either trap doors in the pistol grip or they have trap doors in the buttstock or they have a cap for the buttstock and there's a whole lot of room inside because they're plastic, okay? A lot of them are shell plastic. The hollow in the center. Now that's not a bad thing. There's a lot of good stuff you can put on board. One of the things that a gentleman made here several years ago and I see that they're still out there is a cap pistol grip for the AR-15, also a little bulk here, which really is not bad anyway. And the idea is that you can stash, for instance, one thing that the guy came up with, or auxiliary plastic clip-on sights for your rifle. They're absolute bare-bone. I think Bowtash has a markdown right now. Tactical Gear has a set in the markdown section. And they actually have a cap that they made if you're just using a standard pistol grip. They have a cap that goes attached to and it goes right up inside the existing pistol grip and clips into place with resistance and it stows it. Well, guess what? They also, before that, years ago, and they're still out there, I've seen them, they have another cap that was designed for stowing extra ammunition, a few three or four rounds of standard 556 in the pistol grip. Now, that's not much, but that's better than harsh language when you're down to all my mags are empty and you shout, throw me a mag and everybody says, I'm out too or I'm low and I'm too far away. And so guess what? Four rounds is a hell of a lot better than no rounds. And there's a lot of... Yeah, you got four more rounds before you have to throw your rifle away. That's right. Yeah, throw it down. Well, you got to stand up and let your enemy see it first. You got to see that you're empty and then you show them by throwing your rifle down rather than hanging on to it acting like you got something that works. Exactly. Well those four rounds let you know that you see you got to kill the guy within one, two, or three rounds. You better hold one back just in case we thought you shot him dead. But he's still kicking. And that way, boom! One more. Okay now quick run, run, run, run up. Grab his gun. There we go. Oh he's got a few rounds left. And the bad guy provides temporary relief from lack of firepower, which is kind of critical. Yeah, that's a good point. Let's not forget, remember, whenever possible, James Bond didn't move a couple of movies back. You run out of ammo, your enemy doesn't know you ran out of ammo. But you look at your gun disgustingly and you throw it away. Oh, if James Bond does that, shouldn't we all? Ha ha ha, not. Does my enemy have telepathy? No. How does my enemy know that my guns empty? Think about that. But how many movies have you seen them pull that BS? Well, they look at their way and they always have time to look at their weapon disgustingly like, oh you bastard, this is a movie. You should never have run out. This must be a long time. I'm supposed to have that underground never ending magazine. Right. And by the way, we started out showing you how to do that. Doesn't he ever gonna run a shotgun ammo? Well, no, not by the looks of it. And he hasn't even... Well, actually, here's another rule I'm gonna remind you of this too, because before we go any farther. You see all the ammo that's on the gun? Well, you try not to use it first, okay? I thank you. That's another thing. You have magazine pouches. You have all kinds of other, you know, stations and locations. But you might get separated from the gun for some reason and progressively if you're going to run out, you want to offload everything on your combat load first and only use what's called your distress ammo last. Now, there's a reason for that. The magazines on your, we talked about magazines for instance, how do you use the magazines in order of battle if you are truly thinking? You don't start with grabbing the stuff up front that's really, really convenient. Why don't you do that? Well, because you see how far out your bad guy is. Right now he's getting out of the APC or he's jumping out of the back of a tactical vehicle because you just hit it and the thing's burning. And you've got time to reach back farther where it's tougher to get to something. and use that magazine for your long range fire, not because that has special bullets or anything, but because it's harder to get for you to reach back at certain points, it's less convenient. When the enemy is farther out and you have less time to worry, you know, more time, not less, more time to, you know, think about what you're doing and less shucking and jiving and avoiding bullets, you want to start from the... You ate back and you snagged down and they followed their back mags. That's right. You're gonna start from the back to the front. Why? Well, when they do start getting closer, it would be nice to close the gap in distance and time between the mag pouch and the magazine, right? And you don't want to be found dead with your hand over towards your left side where you're fumbling with a magazine that got stuck somehow on a mag flap you couldn't see. And you didn't realize it while you were busy tugging and jerking and jerking and turking and tweaking and that's when he shot you three times. So we're going to avoid that by making sure that we actually have a system, an SOP, set up so that mentally we will be better prepared for dealing with harsh language and close contact. And that means that our short distance from magazine pouch to magazine well is provided, is prepared, is ready, it's there. We're already thinking about it. And that's why that ammo on the gun is a last use. Because it's shortest to the weapon. There's no doubt where it is. And there is no doubt how close it is to what it is that you need to do. And where nanoseconds count, and they really do, in close, close combat, anything you can do to give yourself a little bit of a reverse time edge, you want to take advantage of it. Where the bad guy thinks you're going to be down for some reason, or at least in standard, you know, standard time and performance, and in reality you reduce that. So just a heads up, it doesn't mean you're missing what weapons system you're using. Feed off the farthest point when your enemy is, especially if you're setting up an ambush for instance. In an ambush or machine gun or a ranged ambush where you're using a point of reference, a road, and you're dumping long range fire to support what is a close to range contact ambush crew, there's all kinds of overlapping tiers of gun ambushes that you can do. And the long range gun ambush especially, you need to A, be prepared with everything you know you're going to initially burn on target. And then you want to make sure that you hold back best shortest for use because the enemy is going to respond either with, you know, air, like rotary air support. Somebody was riding parallel security on a secondary road when the enemy broke through the tree line in the kill zone that you guys already established. Guess what? There was a unit to the north or a unit to the south traveling in a parallel road and they just happened to be in the right place at the wrong time for you. So you're going to have to compensate by defending yourself as you retrograde from the operational contact point. Well, guess what? That's why you've got that short mag advantage where you burned up the stuff that's most difficult to get to first and you're working your way down the short inventory. Down the short line. Fast and curious as they say. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Anyway, so this is another thing where there are a lot of stash points on guns that can be done. Remember the AR-7 probably was a good idea that inspired a lot of other people. The AR-7, remember, the whole gun broke down. You saw it in a James Bond movie, though it wasn't a nuclear device. It was only a .22 caliber rifle, right? But as a prepper or preparedness or field rifle to pack in a backpack, it was perfect. A lot of people saw what they did with the buttstock on the AR-7. Remember you had ammunition storage, magazine storage, and everything folded up into and rolled on, disconnected, and literally stowed in the buttstock. Well, everybody saw that. It gave some people some cash register ideas. And a couple different companies actually built magazine and ammunition stowage stocks like that in the 70s and early 80s. They were a good idea. They actually, now that certain polymers have caught up and all the testing and research has been done on what works best, a reintroduction is something like that, for instance, on either a shotgun or an existing light rifle would be kind of cool and the Air 15 would be one of them. Everybody's tried to pare down the stock to make it look techno cool, but in reality everybody's talking about being a guerrilla warfare and irregular forces and well if that's the case then you're going to be feeding off what you've got. Certainly you're going to take it from the enemy wherever you can. But you're going to be having to self-sustain and self-maintain and move. So, on-board stowage of critical components, spare parts, cleaning gear, whatever, ammunition, in small amounts is very, very, very, very useful. Now, here's the thing to consider. Have you looked at all these like the techno blab TX416PSB super killer, you know, Turkey shotgun model 14L2XXYT112? I'm probably off by only one letter or number, but you know, they got a guy over there with dice. He's just rolling in final consonants and vowels, and the other dice has numbers. And if you pay attention, every Turkish shotgun has got a different gobbledygook set of numbers and make absolutely no sense whatsoever, except for the sake of, you know, I think, like I said, they watch too many double... They watch a lot of Bond movies. I'm going to take the TX-416 carrier shotgun and you use it on Mr. Bob in Istanbul. Yes, my master. And did you say I will electrocute you in your seat and feed you to the shark, so they're sitting below you? Yes, my master. So anyway, the Turkey shotguns, a lot of them are polymer and not having a chance to take all of them down, but number one, they're cast-hole shotguns to begin with. Now maybe, maybe, they had brains enough to actually put stowage on board. Sometimes that happens. But if they have a lot of, there's a lot of these really interesting M16 lookalikes, flash they're not M16. And or bullpup types, they've got, still have a fixed dock that actually is kind of open, you know, fairly chunky. You might want to take a look at the design and if it isn't already set up with storage on board, if it has a big volume of space in that buttstock area, then it might be who somebody would start doing some R&D to see about developing a marketable product or an idea solution to make that space accessible for all kinds of things that would be useful down the road. Example, you might want to put electronics on the roof of the weapon, right? Kind of nice to have spare batteries on board. They wouldn't wait much. And in fact, you made a little chamber in the back. Any number of different things could be stowed, including, like I said, extra ammunition, firing pin extractor, ejector, where possible ejectors are not always possible to be stowed or to be replaced because they're part of, they're a fixed part of the gun. But if they are available, again, you buy them all, you grease them up, put them in a very small ultralight container or a Ziploc bag full of grease, put them in the buttstock and everything is there for your little guerrilla warfare minded operative to be able to continue to function week after week, month after month, and maybe even year after year with everything needed on board the gun, except maybe more lubricant and more cleaning supplies. Because that's the one thing you won't be able to carry enough no matter what. But otherwise, think about it. How many different weapons? A lot of guys did this. Two things they did. It was a big invoke thing in the late 80s, early 90s. Shortening the buttstock, but not cutting the buttstock off the pistol. How many of you guys may have a couple of guns you already built like this? Now you got to remember there's minimal length for rifles and shotguns. But rather than hacking down the barrel, we've talked about this, you don't hack the barrel down. 20 inch barrel works fine. And in fact, as you're optimal, do everything kind of system. However, if you want to make it shorter, just pay attention to your overall length limitations. What you do is you cut the wooden buttstock, you go get yourself a grade B buttstock like from Gunparts Corp. for your particular gun. And then you cut it down and put a new butt pad on it, you know, rubber baby buggy bumper. And you got yourself a nice tactical shotgun that's short, but you haven't sacrificed barrel length and you have not sacrificed magazine length. Now the other cool thing is a lot of guys did these with the Polymer stocks. And what they did is they re-engineered the butt pad and put it in place. so that they had that whole hollow space to put other stuff in. In some cases, the guys even carry just spare ammunition, not for the shotgun, but for their handgun. Wow. Well, there's a lot of hollow space in there. If you look at most of these like choke stocks, not the heavy cast solid dense plastic. The hull type or hollow Chocolate money, there we go. Maybe that's the best way for me to think about it. You know, the chocolate bunny type stocks. Yeah, real thick and rich on the outside and how long was it going on the inside? With the chocolate bunny it looks so big. Yeah, and it was only about an eighth of an inch thick, except for maybe the eels and the toes. That's exactly how these butt stocks are with most all of these Plastine shotguns. So, it's something that you might want to look at. If you're going to use one of these tools, look to see what they've already done. How can you access the buttstock? If you have to start carving too many holes, it's not worth the effort. You're going to weaken the design. But if it does have a buttstock cap, then it can be, first of all, that can be taken off. Then you can inspect and look to see what's working on the inside. And you don't want to interfere with any working parts or something that might be an extension rod or something like that you didn't know poked its way into the buttstock area. You always got to pay attention and look to see how the weapon system operates. This is a big problem. A lot of people assume that if they find out later they've created an instruction or something and, oh, I didn't know that little piece of steel did that. And this sounds weird, but it is the kind of stuff that does happen with these unique designs that are really just taking an existing standard gun and modifying it with pushrods and pullrods and extenders so that you can articulate the original design. Shotgun mechanism, shotgun works inside a, what looks like a sophisticated, ultra-modern design from the 21st century. Well it is actually, but it's not quite all new. It's taking something else and making it work. And that happens a lot. So don't worry, it's not a new thing, and not just the Turks do that. Well the Turkish guns would be interesting because there are just so many that seem to be popping up and notice I'm still not going with any particular nomenclature because there's nothing that would make any sense. Next week there will be three more. They will have similar body styles to the ones that already exist. They will have different names. They will have different numbers but when you start to compare them to the other ones you'll find out they're really pretty much the same. Yesterday I was looking at the classic firearm selection of the new old Turkish or whatever that came from, shotgun guns. They had both Pomps and Simi-Autos. I admit I did like the look of a bullpup Simi-Auto magazine fed gun for, I think it was 2009, which isn't terrible. But totally right, they bring out new ones all the time. Over. Yeah, it's like... Somebody's over there, born out of mold right now while we're talking on the air. I don't know, if you were making this video, you made it because nobody did this one. What would it be? Hold on, let me get you a BCL Super Monster Terror, Terror Killer Shotgun. P-E-L-K-4-9-1-1-Niner. 1-1-Niner. Twice? Yeah, I would repeat it. The Americans exciting when they see that. Just excited, exciting about it. Yeah. So anyway, excuse me. Anyway, there are a bunch of other guns out there that definitely have the option for either add-ons. Even with the single barrel guns, the Iber Johnson last generation had a whole bunch of different ideas for shell keepers. Some of them rather than being perpendicular, like the Remington receiver types. are an offshoot, kind of like a, they have a forward angle, and I still don't ever understand why they did that, but it was, I can understand it was a back angle, but they put a forward angle on it. So you have to kind of pull away from the gun and then insert it into the single chamber, which, well, okay. Anyway, there's a bunch of those out there. They're polymer, there are a few that were made that were metal with rubberized material over them. So those types of ideas you might even find in grab boxes. For the longest time, because it was out of vogue, those side mounted receiver shell holders were cheap. I don't know, I think they're coming back into, you know, it's cool, maybe they resurrected the Terminator movies and everybody goes, oh wow, look at that. I've got to add with Uncle Dad anyway. And Arnold just, they just pulled their inventory out of what was actually popular within our side of the fence. and the leftist in Hollywood pulled it over to their side basically. Another thing about these, again, they are well-affixed. I haven't seen any that weren't, didn't already take into consideration. You better make sure they stick. Now, one of the reasons is because the ammunition is not light. And I can't emphasize this enough. Before you start doing too much of this, and again, you want to experiment by one, Put it on the gun, load it up, and see if it makes sense. If your sense of balance is off, or if it creates some other issue that you need to pay attention to. Remember, different musculature, different people, not everybody's going to be able to handle the gun the same way. And if it's your gun and you're the one handling it, you better find out for sure if this is going to work for you before you get into a tight spot. There's something to think about there. Again, prior to proper blending prevents piss poor performance. I'll tell you what, we're late, but Edward, it is Weapons Wednesday. We have a traditional Weapons Wednesday bottom of the art break. It is about 5.42, which is okay, because we can do whatever we want. We own the network, so if you could, Edward, remember this is my rifle. And for all of you, we want to make sure that if you're going to embrace something, you master it. You want to make sure that it's an extension of your person. Best choice. And... You may ride a good lead speed, you may not turn them after. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts. Glad you make those little noise and always hit the mark. Hold the rifle. Hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove Noah's rifle. No graves at home, I could cross the brine in water And giddy must come like bullets to the floor But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If spind and figure hold the butt through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, no proof, no derifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, no proof, no derifle Thank you, Edward. We are back and again, you will master your weapon. It needs to become an extension of you naturally and that means that it never truly leaves your person. There are many different schools or philosophies about how to handle your firearm. The rule, the thing that I was taught is the weapon never leaves your sight. Never leaves your sight. It is always in contact with you. Even if you're doing something else, it literally is touching your body in some way. It's not laying somewhere else. It's not up against a tree. It's not laying on the ground. No, it's touching you. It's where no matter what, like I said, you're in the shower. One thing you can do, you can grab your weapon, you may be bare butt naked, but whatever you grab, it's ready to fight. And there's why again, the whole idea, the reason I brought this subject up is In many cases, you may have cash weapons and you have to grab that gun and you're trying to avoid being hurt by an enemy who's trying to take you on a wares. This is why you cash weapons everywhere, all over the property, places where they can't be seen and where only you know where you could reach into a hollow and it's unseen. You reach up in, out, boom. You bend over, you're gonna be working or picking something up. Up underneath the table, there's another holster bolted into place. You pull that out and bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp. A lot of guys bought the CZ-75s when they came out. I mentioned this many times. Guys, they were $129 when they came into the country. You know you couldn't get a magazine for them if your life depended on it? And technically it did. They brought them, they were all ready to bring the mags in, they were bringing the guns in. The first wave brought the guns and then somehow they blocked the magazines, okay? And what happened is here all these guns that came in and actually the high end on those for the pristine, you know, in the box, they did come with a spare magazine. They were like $200, $199.95. But they dropped real quick. Nobody really knew why. All of a sudden they were like about 129. Well then they dropped again because people who were buying said, hey have you tried to find magazines for these? Well they look like a high power kind of mag. What about using an, oh no, that doesn't work. And so everybody went through the usual, let's see what we can cross dress with the pistol. And what ended up happening is everybody was kind of like poop on them. It's like, why bother buying that gun? You can't get a magazine. They actually dropped down to $69 a piece. And when they went down to $69, it's like I told everybody, hey, it's the classic Hollywood gun that you reverse version. You know, you fire it like in the Matrix, you fire one magazine, they just drop the gun and pick up another one. For $69, it's an awfully fine pistol. And so what a lot of the guys did is bought them for what we're talking about. They put them in their toolbox, one of the toolbox, have another one stuck over in the corner of the wall like in a spot where you couldn't see again. You just reach up and in, you know, in and up, forgive me. And the pistol's right there. You just pull it right out of the holster that it's stapled to the wall with. and pop, pop, pop, pop, you got 15 rounds, same as the Browning High Power, you got enough ammunition to get you towards the next gun, keep the other guy from thinking they were just gonna come in, put some bullets in you and murder you, and you could put them everywhere. And for $69, we're talking a 9mm Parabellum Browning High Power, you know, double action kind of pistol, depending on which model you got. And the single action model was $53 for a bit and both of the all the CZ weapons and of course the knockoff you goes had the same problem and is the was the fact that no mags and for the longest time those mags simply weren't out there until I remember about what eight years ago also in eight years ago a bunch of the mags and you know probably were still sitting in some warehouse on the docks and Finally got released and lo and behold here's all these mags for all that first generation first generation guns That came in how many years ago? So you could do that if when it's so cheap. It's like the macaroon pistols. They were $69 apiece the Tokarev pistol. They were 69 Everybody had tons of them. Well guess what that means you could afford to put them all over the place now when you're talking bigger weapons You don't have any place you can put a spare mag at the side of a pistol But when you start talking shotguns, you can afford to have that shotgun all dressed up off to the side and another one over another corner, especially when you're buying those $109 Chinese knockoffs of the Model 870. All the stuff that would go on the 870 as far as accoutrements would go on those Chinese guns. And that's another thing that a lot of the guys did. With carbines used to be back in the day we get the carbines cheap So setting up a carbine with two 15 round mags and a reliable 30 round mag stuck in the magazine Well, that's still done to this day just like with all the rest of things we're talking about that way immediately when you grab the gun Yeah, you were caught unawares only because you're not thinking every day and every minute your house is gonna be a battlefield Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, we do But for a lot of people their logic the enemy is the logic if you want a lure men you can also set them up for this Is that you're not going to be prepared when in reality? You're ready to literally a moment's a blink of the eye moments notice To be able to turn and actually return fire with a an effective weapon system Now there's not a whole lot like that out there anymore really But in the long guns there's many options which we already covered so if you're looking for a way to dress up and in fact put in reserve a number of weapons that allow you to get from you know from where you were to your center cache or your better weapons systems the shotgun and many of the other light rifles are a good solution. Right now there's it looks like high point that some of the rifles are loosening up a little bit at least there's a few of them here and there not many but a few. I don't know if you've seen it, but then on that note with regard to the Browning or forgive me, the High Point, not the Browning, High Power, the High Point rifles, two new companies came up with a whole bunch of new replacement stocks. One of them is a bullpup design, very interesting. In fact, there's a couple of videos out there on them already. These don't really have any particular, oh there's no particular gun that we would say compares, they do have a slight look, slight, to the FAMAS in some ways, not so square and blocky, but certain parts like the, especially the lower assembly around the pistol grip, very much have that, you know, Euro look to them. So anyway, they're not a bad design. I've seen several of them personally now. There are some more. Yeah, this is lucky. Just last night I was told about those new stocks for the high point by a fellow who just bought a high point 45 carbine and he told me about at least one of them allows you to use the high cap block magazines with the high point action. Oh, that's the newest one. Yeah, that's been the biggest failing of the high point carbine for a lot of people. No high cap magazine availability and that solves it. But unfortunately it's not cheap. He told me it was like about $250 or $270 for the whole rig to change over the high point of action, but still. Well, that's not bad if it takes, no, that's not bad though if it actually takes, reliably takes the Glock Max because that would be a big, big benefit for that, the rifle's reliable enough. The big thing is if you want to really start spraying and praying with the 9mm, that would give you a reasonable package. So and again, you can do it in pieces you buy the high point. Okay. Now I got to save up money rather than a lot of people would be like man I go wait because it's gonna cost me six seven eight hundred or a thousand two hundred dollars For anything like that out there that's on the market there from anybody else, but you could do a two-step on the Using doing the high point and be able to be affordable for most people. So that's not a bad idea Go ahead. I'm sorry I had nothing else to offer beyond what I was told, but if High Point were to take the hint and start building their own integrated high capacity model of carbene, then I think people would, they would not be able to keep building enough of them. They really wouldn't, I don't think. I mean, I've got the 9mm carbene myself. or with unfortunately only a couple of 10-run mags, but it's been totally reliable whatever I've put through it, and shockingly accurate. So put that together with a iCAP capability, and yeah, that'd be off the chain, as a friend of mine likes to say. Over. One of the things about that for everybody who's thinking about them, I watch enough of the follow-up videos. The guys that built the ones here, I think have them in 45 ACP just down the road. But they do make them in 10. They actually make, these are bullpup system stocks where you take your entire internal action out of the high point carbine stock and reintroduce it into one of these bullpup systems. However, you've got to be careful because you've got to make sure you purchase the stock that matches the caliber that you have. If you have a 380, it needs to be a 380. They are marked on the side of the receivers too, so you can't make a mistake. If they're 10 mil, they're 10 mil. If they're 9 mil, they're 9 mil. If they're 45, they're 45. If they're 40 caliber, you need a 40 caliber. If it's 380, you need a 380. And so again, just a heads up on that. Make sure you do that right. It's kind of like we talk about with radio parts. You got to get the right headsets and, you know, throat mics for the right radio rig. Ain't the razor, it's the blade. You got to make sure you get those correct too. So the big thing here is it's a nice little compact package. The only thing, and again, High Point makes a compensator. They don't call it a flash hider. And it is, it's actually a little compensator, but I don't know if they're still building it. When they first came out, they had it. We picked up a number of them. They look a little, you know, heavy, but they actually work. So just as a heads up, that's another option. I don't know if they still even make them anymore. They may not. One of the considerations is also taking advantage of many of the raw flash hiders that are out there that are from like Gun Parts Corp. They get a lot of cool stuff and Sarco does too, where if you wanted to tap and thread, you know, in other words, these are virgin flash hiders that are untapped. Now you probably, depending on what it is, you'd have to bore it out. If you're going to go 10 millimeter or 45, you're going to have to bore these things out. So you need to do a quick eval of whether or not you can with a 45 ACP. But they are available. They're in the raw. They're not expensive. We just picked up a bunch of the long Euro basket flash fighters. It looks like it goes on a squad gun. Like it was meant for either a vehicle mounted belt fed gun or it was for a squad gun similar to the M60 in nature. It's not an M60 flash fighter. However, it's been the raw and it cost about like $4. made out of high grade steel and forged. Not just made out of hunking chuck metal. Anyway, there's a lot of cool stuff out there that's useful but those bullpuffs stocks are available. The RS System, go check them out. God bless our republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen, the empire is on a run. And we are on a run for state and money. We'll get out of the way for a minute, go grab a cup of coffee, use the bathroom, whatever you gotta do. Second order Intel report coming up, it is, weapons, wind, and... It's part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt, it's to protect yourself from the police. Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead. Anybody that wants to make me unarmed and helpless. People that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed called gun-free zones. We're going to beat you. We're going to vote you out of office or suck on my machine gun. 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 liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay 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. This number 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 mine. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark Kirky. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the line, sacked by territories Southwest, East, Northeast, and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Liberty Tree Radio on satellite, and we're on AM&FM microstations, CB, Bay stations, and UltraNet. Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies, east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends out there in Lower 49, including the great state of Jefferson along with CONUS, the Outline Two States Territories, and the clock. It is 6-0-6, well 6-0-7, headed towards 6-0-8 p.m. forgive me, Eastern Standard Time. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the first of September. It's Wednesday, the 1st of September. That means absolutely nothing right now. But it does mean something to us. It means we are working through the beginning of the big quarter. This is where headed to the end of September and into Doom Month for the government and the ring knockers, the little small hat wearers. October is the big money turnaround time for the Fed. Don't forget that. This is the preparatory now where they're all slattering, slobbering about what they're going to be stealing from you at gunpoint and laughing about while they're putting their golden toilet fixtures in their third wing of the third bedroom and bathroom over there in Heifen, Tel Aviv. Listen, you got my solid gold, my plated gold. What the hell is wrong with you? Give me the money! And oh, that's what they're doing. The thieves. And that's all there is to it. But anyway, It is, again, the 13th year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the gay. 2021 older calendar, 2021 battle for the republic that danced some swords. A couple other things here real quick is with 7.62x39 creeping up into a stupid level for obvious reasons. The shot shell is probably going to be the way to go for a lot of you that are looking for a way to get a lot of ammunition on the shelf in a short period of time with a reasonable amount of firepower. I know it's not going to reach as far, but let me point something out. Okay. Everybody's been told and stupefied that, well, you know, the forelists are going to probably engage this 200 yards with a rifle anyway, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, that's good. And if you're actually paying attention and you get a decent discarding Sabo slug for your 12 gauge, uh, I don't care what they will receive an unpleasant surprise. Yeah, you're looking at a 500 grain projectile going down range to 200 yards and staying on a pie plate as needed. Guys, we've been scoping shotguns for 40 years now. This is actually correction. With the BRI and the SB and all the other discarding SABO slugs, this is the year 2021. 41 years. If not a little longer, farther back than that because people who were independent wildcatters were doing discarding Sabo in the 70s. But in 1980, 81, 82, the reality of a discarding Sabo accuracy round was already a fact. And by 1983, 84, everybody was doing it. So you do the math. Again, we're heading towards a half century of this technology in hand. What this means is that I get the same accuracy at 200 yards as the M16. You're pushing a 55 grain bullet downrange. I'm pushing a 500 grain bullet downrange. And by the way, at 200 yards, that 556 doesn't have much armor penetration. So when everybody goes, well, it's only a shotgun slug. No, it's an hourglass stabilized round. They look like an hourglass. The Fiacci, if you can still find them, and I haven't seen these in a while, basically they took the tank gunnery range, you know, technology right down to shotgun. The little Fiacci discarding Sable slugs have been stabilizers, plastic inserted in stabilizers. Ever see those? That's literally mimicking the discarding sable tank route right down to design. You know, silhouette design, which is fascinating. And anyway, otherwise you've got a whole cornucopia of shells to choose from in shotgun and you can spend whatever money you can afford. You can spend a little, you can spend a lot. You can go low, you can go low brass, high brass, all brass. Remember that you can get all brass cases. The big people that use that are the cowboy guys. And to be quite honest, there's all kinds of neat advantages. And there are a few disadvantages. Not that thick a case, but they work. And unless you do something really weird with your ammo... All of them will function. Everyone will do its job. Now, there are different barrels and certain guns prefer high brass as opposed to low shoulder. Oh, wait a minute. I should add something else. There are all plastic shells out there. Now, most of them came from Germany. And in fact, Bernanke, I don't know if Bernanke is still actually producing them. But what we did with a lot of the plastic shells, they were so stupid cheap when they came out for obvious reasons. I mean, after all, they are all plastic. What we did is we popped out the wad and the pellet load and turned them into monster blank shells for training operations. Problem is that some of the guys, you know, overloaded them. They wanted the kabobo effect to create, especially over the horizon simulator, you know, acting like a light mortar round or, you know, 40 millimeter round, 40 millimeter grenade round. And they did a good job. It was a way for us to be able to carry these. But, you know, unfortunately, as they loaded them very, very hot, these things were literally after the third round, the chamber would be so warm. the things that pop, the shell would stretch. It was already overheating. And when it hit the ground, it would literally start to collapse on itself like Kathy. I've seen this. So again, now that was grossly over, that's like a triple charge blank is what they were building. But even with standard blank, you had to watch yourself and paste your shells. I don't know what the calorie buildup would be with say, bird and money, since you're not blazing away, the way you are in a tactical operation. But all plastic has been made. They have been out there for hell of a 30 plus years. The Germans are always doing this kind of stuff because metals have always been an issue with wartime production. So they've always looked at alternates. And polymer, of course, has been the the go-to for a lot of junk for a long time, as we know. And we'll be with shot shells after, well, three quarters of your shell is plastic. It would most modern rounds. At least, if not more. So anyway, shotgun is probably going to be your best bet again. It doesn't need to look like an M16 or do a very fine job. There are some all kinds of Turkish guns being allowed in. They're evil, they're black. I'm amazed that again, Daewoo can't bring in their very well established standard Daewoo magazine-fed shotgun and they're 70-year-old allies. But these punk Turks that have been betraying America forever, all they're bringing in everything. Okay, so there's the difference between the two, you know, the philosophy and ring knockers and spit swappers are running your country. They don't need to look like that though, even though they're evil at that. They can be standard 870s, Model 500s, 1200 Winchester's. There's a bunch of other newer, you know, even more heavily stamped part guns available. But they're also the cheap Chinese and Turkish knockoff straight gun. Just regular tube bed pump shotguns. About 120 will stay as a centerline price. Sometimes you get them a little less, sometimes it costs a little more. But that 120 is reasonable. And if you're especially trying to outfit a whole bunch of people, the biggest problem is then ammunition. Well, with ammunition going up where it is, you're going to be limited in how much of whatever you're going to spend there. But you need something to give you greater fire power to suppress. And we're now looking at the next solution, which is really an old one, which is using the shotguns for suppression fire. If you do go with a magazine, the only thing is there are very few mags that are coming in with these Turkish guns that are greater than a five round magazine. So your tube gun is doing the same thing. And yeah, I know the dump time on the magazine and how you drop it quickly and insert the next one. But as long as I keep loading up that pump gun, I can do just as well with that, especially with training. as you can with a magazine. So it's a personal flavor choice thing then. Now if you can get 10 round mags or get a drum for it, what you can for the Sega's and the Sega knockoff guns, and I don't know how many of the Turkish guns will take a Sega mag, some do, very few, but there are a few, most do not. Remember there's one or two companies here about four years ago where all the Sega mags fit in the Turkish guns that were coming in. But then all of a sudden that conversation disappeared, which tells me that they were told, oh, change that out. We don't want those peasants to have those drum-fed guns, because the drums that were built for the SAGAs were pretty well protected. Perfected. P-E-R. Perfected. So that would be a nice solution. Now otherwise, again, accuracy where possible, and this is where you mentioned earlier, you can build up a scope-mounted long eye relief 12-gauge shotgun that'll fire slug, and it'll do everything that most all of your intermediate and short-range rifles will do, your brush gun rifles, etc. So it's just as dangerous, and again, don't think there's this drop-off point you can only reach 50 yards and whatever. No, no, no, no. That gun is just as capable as any other weapon on the market right now. And for the field use against bipeds or quadrupeds, that 12 gauge shotgun has been out to 200 yards for decades now. And there is no reason for you not to be able to perform that way. Again, you sculpt it with the ammunition and you find out what works best in the gun that you have by experimenting a little bit. Not goofy shooting, but actually bench resting and then watching the operation of the gun to confirm that you have reliable action. You have a reliable service with the weapon. Okay? Prior proper planning for events, piss, poor performance. Anyway, another thing here real quick is again, I was classic firearms was mentioned, they don't have much in surplus and I don't think that's going to change. I already told you we're capping out on what's left of the World War II and pre and World War II and post World War II era. There weren't that many weapons that really could be sold over the counter in the American slave market. Now, automatic weapons in Syria, people can buy them all day. Automatic weapons in Iraq, people can buy them all day. Automatic weapons in Afghanistan, El Danekin and Peshawar and other places like that up on the mountains, and you can buy anything you want. In Peasantville, America, there are all kinds of restrictions for Peasant America with slave America under the occupation. And for that reason, there's not a whole lot from outside that can be brought in anymore, which is the other reason that what little is in the market is also going up in price. Now, a combination of things there because the devaluation of your currency doesn't help either, obviously, and that's what's happening next. Another thing, everybody, you're all noticing it, but this last couple of weeks, there has been a dramatic increase in the lack of inventory in the grocery stores. This was a major spike and they're not supposed to talk about it. In fact, they've even sent warnings out to different store managers that are with the different smaller chains that you're not to discuss the interruption or lack of. inventory. But the problem is it's showing on the shelves. It's the lack of, I mean we're talking some stores, they have whole sections like with a quarter of a section of an aisle basically empty if you were to put it all together. I looked at one today and I was just starting to count real quick. You don't even have the product in a particular category to be able to spread it out so it takes up more space. And it's only one product, but at least looks like you got something on the shelf. There wasn't even enough inventory to stretch out over two eight-foot shelf sections. Each one is eight or ten, depending on what system the store bought for a shelving system. And of course, there's a length of the aisle. Well, what's fascinating is for two sections, I would say there were only maybe 10% of the product that needed to be there was there in a food section. So it's interesting, another one was juices, right now especially. And they flat out have said, just like they did at the auto parts store today, well we just can't get it. The company just can't send it. I stood in line waiting for to find out about, you know, brake parts because I'm pre-ordering and putting on the shelf for the fleet. Rotors and drums. Why? Because pads and whatever, although they will disappear quickly. The rotors and the drums are standard for a certain number of vehicles and I've paid attention so that they're overlapping. Now, the only problem is there was a seesaw back and forth between rotor, drum, and all disc slash rotor on certain vehicles both with Ford and Chevy. And so what I'm having to do is buy two different sets of rear assemblies in order to have at least a complete quad set for each. In other words, I can replace out front and rear and put the vehicle back at zero point. In other words, ready to run for a period of time without having to worry about it. And I would point out that if I were to do that, I wouldn't throw off the old because the old at least was still working. Might have a flaw problem or maybe gacked. by where, but guess what? We're going to have to address that and do what best we can maybe down the road beyond that. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are ready to collapse the supply system. It is that close. There is not a single industry you can turn to where if this were truly wealthy America, if this was a class AAA country, If this was a class AAA country, you'd be going to the stores and the store shelves would be stocked solid. If this was a class AAA, you know, superpower country, you go to the parts store and they don't ask if they have a part, you would ask, you know, well, okay, what do you got? How many different brands are there? And there should be three or four or five different brands producing the product and you get to select between what you prefer and also maybe what fits your wallet. The more you spend, the better the product you get. But that isn't the case now. That's the indication that you are no longer not just a not a superpower. You're in third world. You're in third world status. You're on the edge of it right now. And Mark, if I may with a pollution. Go right ahead, please. I got a I got a food solution. Simply clean foods dot net. This guy's a veteran. He hires veterans. He's in Texas. He has organic, non-GMO, and tested for glyphosate, Roundup. There's absolutely none of that in his food. And he uses, there's no preservatives. freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and meats and he's got some specialty items and it's about a buck 65 per serving and it's free shipping for if you order $10 or more and he's got a month supply of he's got a Liberty pack it's about a hundred ninety-nine bucks and it's 30 days of fruit and vegetables, freeze dried. You can eat this food as it is, or you can rehydrate it with just warm water. You don't even have to boil water. I eat this food. It's like going to the farm market. It's that fresh. And I mean, yes, vegetables like asparagus. And you can customize your packs. You know, a 30 day, 3 month, 1 year, 3 year, whatever, and it's really great. And it is, it's quite inexpensive. So it's actually cheaper than going to the grocery store and you can eat this food every day. It's Ziploc. Each vegetable or fruit comes in a Ziploc Kevlar, not Kevlar, Mylar bag, resealable. It's quite good. It's simplycleanfoods.net. That's simplycleanfoods.net. Simplycleanfoods.net. I'll give out a phone number. This is a cell number if you want to order direct. It's 512-483. Hold on, I'm legally blind here. I got a tap over. 4178. I'll give that again. It's 512-483-4178. His name is Chance and tell him David and tell him sent you. That's me and I do use this food and you guys won't regret if you try it. You'll probably keep buying it as long as he can get it. So anyway, I yield. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate that. And yes, food solutions. One advantage of freeze dried. Freeze dried has an indefinite shelf life. We don't even know what the actual final shelf life of B because you need it long before you probably would worry about it being around for a century or so. But one of the advantages is lightweight for pack, especially if you're looking at outbound and on foot. If you are in a, what is it, an evacuation mode. If you're trying to lighten the weight but carry more stuff. Freeze dried food is a solution. The big thing you got to remember is you need water on the way. So, water purification is parallel and important anyway. It wouldn't mean you have freeze dried or not. But water purification is something you want to have in hand anyway. And in this case with freeze dried, you want to be progressively processing water. if at all possible. There's a number of different systems we use. I've got even one of the original portable camp burkeys which are slow, the original model. The second one they came up with, what they did is they actually lightened up on the filter which is not necessarily a good thing. But it worked, it supposedly works as far as all the testing that was done. Needless to say, straws and other gravity systems like the burkeys are out there that you could carry. So that you remember you do this in the traditional top light slash minute man system. What you want to do is you add the water to your purification system and while you're walking, you're actually, gravity sucks, it's going to do its part. By the time you get to where you're going to stop and eat, you have additional water beyond whatever else you've already stored or already have purified. And you have everything you need for the process, for cycling through. The big thing here again is you can also cash this food. Freeze-dried is especially good for that because again, an indefinite shelf life. Just make sure that you follow what I call the military triple barrier system to protect the food if you're going to cash it. You've already got it in a, again, a mylar pouch. You put it inside another protective container. You put that inside your cairn slash cash, whatever you're going to do. and you've got it up off the ground inside the cache. You can bury it completely if it's inside the proper container. But remember if you're going to do a cairn, what you want to do is always have standoff from the ground. There's no sense in laying it on the ground. Whatever containers you have, I don't care if it's plastic, I wouldn't care if it's stainless steel. Common sense. Try to... Again, restrict, put a barrier up or elevate off of the ground so you're not making contact with anything to prevent oxidation. Eventually oxidation is going to take place with your storage system. Not what's inside. First, it's the containers that progressively, even plastic, is trying to go back to the soil. Always remember that. Everything's trying to go back to its original form. You will too, okay? The other thing here about freeze dried is what I like to do with it, what I did with it when I had to prioritize, and I still do, if you have older people or younger people, especially kids, children, when I used to pack up for the emergency bug out bags for the kids when we did the original MREs, I would get massive quantities of freeze dried meat patties, you know, the pork and beef. freeze-dried potato patties, freeze-dried peaches, fruit cobbler, not fruit cobbler, fruit salad, you know, the fruit mix. What was the other one? Apples and, well, come on, peaches. So, peaches, apples, oh, forgive me, peaches, apples, pears, and the fruit mix. There we go. Now, you put those in the kids' packs. Why? Because they could carry a whole big backpack full of styrofoam and it would be fine. If they got separated, here's the other advantage. They could tear the pack open and eat it and you didn't have to worry about them not eating. Especially once they figured out the stuff was good, the biggest problem you had was keeping them from eating it when they didn't need to. But again, the freeze-dried solution allows for you to be able to transport more food. And the other thing is to create a more exotic or unique menu. You know, you mentioned like the asparagus. Let me point something out. The Navy learned this a long time ago. The Navy has been feeding off freeze-dried for a very long time. And the reason is you're trying to keep your employees So, the food, when it's properly processed, it's like it's fresh. They've got this down to an absolute packaging science with Navy rec. Everything takes up less space. It's all very easily inventoried. They've got to feed these people, take care of 24-7 schedule. And because of that, everything really, really, really comes together with the freeze-dried system. Now, in this case, in our case, we're not going to be able to do that with everything. But, you know, can't go freeze-dried with everything. And by the way, diversify. Your beans, all your legumes, your lentils, all of that, your A rations, bulk rations, help to enhance whatever else you have in food storage. And that's your volume and your bulker work stuff, keep the belly full, and also still offer good base nutrition. All of the other foods are enhancement foods, which obviously help to make sure that you're taking in proper amino acids, minerals, vitamins of all types. And again, that's where you combine. And you still take supplements on top of everything else. You still take supplements. Better a little too much in the system, not overdosing, but better a little extra in the system rather than not enough. Because that helps with regard to one thing, mental process. If your body has what it needs, your brain is on the right track and you can stay focused on things. You will be thinking. Half the battle is making sure that you're physically squared away so that you're mentally competent. That does count for something. So just a heads up there anyway Thank you, I wanted to add One thing that I like in particular that I found useful in the field is barley It's a great complement to any leg rooms that you might be cooking out in the field. So it really does Fill you up and it gives you that extra bit of protein and nutrients that you needed. It really fills you up. Thank you. It's a wealthy food. Thank you for bringing it up because I haven't talked about that enough. That's one thing that I've always liked to do is you can do what the Japanese did. In World War II, the Japanese diet went to the toilet because we torpedoed everything to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Marley, they never get enough rice and they farmed every acre they could farm. And barley was as big a production crop as rice. And in fact, anybody remembers the lean years, they're all way up in their 90s now, the kids of World War II grew up with basically a meal that would be a combination of rice and barley put together to kind of balance out and produce both the proteins and the carbs and have some of the amino acids needed to replace the protein, the meats that weren't there. If you were lucky, it was a piece of fish on top of a bowl of rice or barley. And a super treat by what some of the guys told me, or women who were from World War II, they were Japanese, was a plum, a pickled plum or a sweetened plum on a bowl of rice and barley. And that was their meal. So think about guys, again. And barley stores, well, the other cool thing, there's all kinds of different barleys too. It's kind of like lentils. If you want to go to the health food stores, there are a wide number of different barleys that you can pick up that are different breeds, obviously. And so you can change that up too. But basically, try to find barley on the shelf is not that easy necessarily in your regular stores right now, again, because of the shortage. Go ahead. It was also a staple from the, during the gladiator times, that was one of the staple foods you would correct. They would lay off the meats before they'd go into combat because it would slow them down and they would switch to the leg rooms and... More of the barley they go in light so that they could you know they can move and fight it was considered It was considered a great. Thank you. That was another thing was considered a great great benefit and privilege and was preferred barley yes Okay, one of the things here too guys. It doesn't have to be most complicated foods in order for it to keep you very much alive and healthy each nation state has had a a food base and that has built that nation. And you'll see it in all of their statuary. You'll see it in the symbolism, either corn, wheat, rice, barley, any number of different other crops or products that would be considered foundation. Yeah, pomegranate, another one, pineapple. And interestingly enough, remember, pineapple in all of the statuary and everything that you see in the images, for instance, in seals. was a representation of wealth. Remember, the palm, you know, what's a pineapple doing? That's kind of strange. It's like, guys, at the time, the pineapple was symbolic of exotic wealth being a very, you know, but it's a food stuff. I mean, it was all those things where, wow, a pineapple, and it can transport it too amazingly enough. Not too well, but better than most. Okay, so then they figured out ways to get it done. So anyway, the other thing there too, since I mentioned that, is to change up. Remember, right now is the surfy at time for food. Drying fruit and putting it into vacuum pack or at least just putting it in a container. So don't you do anything special. Your food dryer should be cranking stuff out left and right right now. We got plenty of opportunity with the excesses. Remember, if you got markdown stuff in baskets at the store, Guys, it doesn't look as pretty, but guess what? It's halfway to where you want it to be. Grab that, put it into the, you know, slice it, slice it, treat it, put it into the food dryer, and you got yourself more foodstuffs and the nibblies like that that can be added to oatmeal or just like I said, the barley or the rice. Anything to flavor change, but also it's natural sweet. This is another thing we've talked about that everybody's got to get ready for the sugar highs are gonna be gone Okay, just a heads up sugar is not gonna be in the inventory here when that happens If you think people are feening for coffee, oh watch what happens with sugar. Go ahead caller jump in there, please Yes, thank you. Sorry, you just struck a nerve with me. Oatmeal is a big point for me. And you're right on point, you know, the sugar thing. My best go-to sweetener for those types of meals is dates. Dates, dates, dates. And the reason for that is because they pack a sweetness punch, but when you're out in the field and you're You know, you're low on calories, you're low on minerals and especially potassium. The potassium that's packed into the date is unmatched. I mean, no amount of, I mean, you can look at the charts for yourselves, but I've had really good results with oatmeal, steel cut, rolled oats, you know, and you just throw a couple of dates, chop them up in there and that's a natural sweetener. They're light. pack a whole bag in there last you a month or so and It's a no-gilt type of food. I mean, there's no fat to it, but it gives you the right amounts of food, you know sugars complex sugars and Carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals that you're going to need when you're out in the field doing stuff. You know what you just brought something up, you know, we're talking about you're bouncing off You know what? I haven't seen in the longest time when I grew up. We used to get the bricks of dates I haven't seen those for a very long time. I grew up with that where they were just in the... They were typically, I'm sure, from either Egypt or from Tunisia. But they were the literally bricks of dates. They were pressed dates. But they were good. They were pitted, typically, but they could also come unpitted. Okay, both figs and dates used to come that way because it was an efficient way to, when you press it, you have no dead weight, you have no airspace. If you've only got so many square feet that you can ship, the idea was that you could put more food into an area. It wasn't the weight you had to worry about, it was the volume. And remember, they were trying to get the most money out of their shipping from places that were not as well to do. And the Middle East was one of those. But dates, figs, and by the way, here's another thing. These are things to invest in right now. One thing that I haven't found in recent years are the canned dates and canned figs we used to see. I used to get canned figs. all the time when I was at Kroger's and of course maybe it's because it was an ex- and this is before the Arab trend with the Arab invasion and all that. It's just the idea was one of those things that was available as a unique food thing. A lot of people used them for people especially not just Middle Eastern but also Eastern European and especially South Eastern European Albanians. Yugoslavians, they use the dates for the candidates for different pastries and I used to run into all the time as well the things that I have not seen of course now with the state of affairs of America the way it is all that stuff's in the toilet not even being thought about I'm worried about that however one of the things we need to look at and which is what I'm going to say again buy more coffee buy more coffee buy more coffee buy coffee over at the Dollar Tree They've got more oh, it'll more. Oh, I think it is yellow bricks of espresso It's I believe eight ounces for a dollar guys. That's the cheapest espresso coffee. You're gonna run Run into and it's in the vacuum bricks. So here's the cool thing. You don't beat it up or bounce it around buy it because It is easy to monitor the inventory. First of all, what we do with a lot of those is we take and put them right into metal cake cans that are from, you know, holidays. They're in a metal container that's armored. They're out of the environment, out of sight, out of mind. And the container itself, as long as it doesn't get agitated, those vacuum-packed pouches last for decades. We've already tested this. So those bricks that you see, if you can get that brick coffee like that, don't bounce it around. Kind of pay attention when you get it out of the store. Don't just throw it in the car. Get it to where you're going and then put that inside another container and then seal it up. Ideally, the cake or cookie tins are perfect for this. Now, that's your long-term storage coffee, but it's also a very dense coffee. So it takes less to make for instance of personally boiled if you were going to just do boiled coffee in a canteen cup a Small amount of that will make you a rich cup of coffee problem. It'll probably smell so good We'll bring the zombies in from every direction okay, but That is a another storage solution coffee is going to disappear Coffee already disappeared my lifetime twice. How many people were around when we had the coffee shortage in the 70s? Anybody remember that? In fact, the coffee shortage got so bad and they made it. It was created. But the coffee shortage got so bad that they started marketing chicory. Anybody remember that? You had a chicory additive so you could stretch the coffee by you know twice, you know the volume and This item named probably still out there somewhere, but I haven't seen that in a while Which leads me to the all the other exotics we're talking about like dates pigs Where we can find them canned at least we have the product on the shelf fresh would be better or fresh dried Needless to say Anything that's import like that is going to be a problem. Go ahead, Gollard. It's Ed. Real quick, I just got done talking to Craig. He was going to be up live tonight before DragonCon, but he had a flat tire around Kentucky and he's trying to make up time. So he will not be up live. DragonCon starts in 23 hours. He's going to be down there for that event. don't know what to expect. Like, you know, the way things are going, we've got to talk to it, talk about a little bit on his program and on Friday's. The way the environment is with that community, with the gaming, the comic books and everything else, everybody's pretty set up with all the stuff that's going on on top of that. They're making everybody get a COVID test or prove that they're vaccinated to get into the thing. So we'll have a report on how that went from Craig probably next week, but this this next hour coming up is gonna be a rebroadcast guys Probably one of our other programs. I'm gonna have to take a look I could might be able to do last week. I'm having a little problem with the archives It's I am aware of that guys as soon as I can I'll get that strained out links are not working again I'm waiting for their tech support to get back with me. Ah so That's just it Craig won't be live but for people who are looking To meet up with him at Dragon Con. He will be there. He's just been delayed Pressed a little but but still in motion. Okay, he's almost there. He's trying to make up time That's why he's not gonna be doing the program in the next hour. You know what? Well Interestingly enough. There are some people listing that are not that far away Just tell them that when they asked if you had a COVID test You go, yes, I actually saw my proctologist sometime last week. What's your point? What? You mean you haven't had the new analectomy, you know, COVID test? Ah, well, hold on. Let me go get my rubber gloves. I'll give you one. I'll test you right here. Why do you want to know the anal swab? Hey, Mark. Well, he decided to come up to the nasal. Go right ahead, callers. I've been there. Yeah, what address do you want to use? This is Southern Illinois. What address are you now guys using? Well, the PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Do you have the PBN address? Yeah, that was the old address. So you wanted this PBN and not Liberty Tree? No, the... That'll get you PBN is and we're talking are you talking electronic are you talking for post? Well, I got I got some a fanny pack and a couple things. I want to send you PBN is fine Okay, unless you want me if you've got the other address then you know the home address you can use that too Well, I don't have your home address. I just I've always sent to your Liberty Tree radio Oh, yeah, PB ends fine Liberty Tree radio. He was a PB and he'll walk one deal about it. Yeah, it's a Yeah, if you send it to Liberty Tree radio or PB and either way, but the post office is used to seeing PB n Okay. Okay, so I'll just put PB n on it then Sorry, that's fine. I just needed to know so I got some things that you might be interested in Hey before I belong as I've got you right there something popped up and forgive me. I don't have it on my fingertips I can't pull it up right now There was some Kevlar material available that I surprised me It's and it's in it's in cloth form And the other one is what the heck there were two of them What's interesting is the other one is Nomex. Okay, but it's it's a denser Nomex weave more like the Cordura You know in terms of the texture, you know, Nomex normally it can feel just like you know, usually it's almost like it feels like it's a 55 45 cotton polyester blend, but this is a heavier cage sheeted material for making things So I'll get, I'll mention it on the air, I just don't have it right now in front of me where I can even get to it. But I came across it by accident and it's one of these other, you know, close out or discount things right now, but it's by the yard, but I assume we can probably get a roll, you know, get it by the spool. Some of these companies, when you buy it by the spool, they will sell it to you at a discount. But normally, if you go over 50 yards, you have to go truck break because of the weight. So it depends on how they've got it. But yeah, basically anything like that. See, that's like the fanny pack I'm wanting to send you. It's actually made out of a nylon pack cloth. And nylon pack cloth is a softer type cloth. It's not as aggressive or coarse as a Cordura. It's about the same weight and almost the same thread count as a 500 denier weight Cordura, but it's soft. Right. So that's why you make old plate carriers and plans that go against bare skin. You want to make those without a pattern. Because it's almost like you said, it's almost like having a cotton polyester against you. But for a cordura or some of these nylon or, excuse me, some of these polyester canvases that I've been selling stuff out of, well, they're rough as cob. I mean, if you want to eat your skin up, just, you know, make a shirt out of them. But yeah. You want your, if you want to get rid all over the body hair. Yeah, it would be all you would be baby, but smooth you will look like you have shaved or something But only where it wears every everything else is still gonna be normal I was about 11 or 12 years old I'd be in a never say I was gonna say it ain't never stopped right. Yeah, it's never stopped. Never stopped very good Hey mark. All right, Mark. I appreciate it. Thank you Thank you. Again, PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. We haven't put that out on the air in a little while, so it's good. Now hear another voice. Call or jump in there, please. Hey, this is Todd, Dan Orlando. You were talking about coffee, and when this COVID thing hit in March of last year, I already had a bunch of freeze-dried coffee, but Stave-a-Lot started selling something with a brand name of Pio Santi. and it was cheap, it was like $2.79 compared to Nescafe, which was like over $6. And I said, man, I'm gonna buy a few of these. So I bought them, and I got them home, and I said, you know what, I'm gonna try them out, I'm gonna taste one of them and see how well it tastes. It wasn't the best tasting freeze-dried coffee, but it was freeze-dried coffee. And so I put it back up on the shelf. And this is a cool dark, you know area covered and The other day I went and bought a whole bunch of ramen noodles and I was going through the shelf and I saw this Tio Santi and this it looked like the jar was empty and I was like, I didn't drink any of this stuff and I don't live with anybody except the dogs So I pulled it out and this thing This freeze-dried coffee in it had shrunk down to the size of about, I don't know, a tennis ball and it's like a hard thing at the bottom of the jar. Can you explain that? Oh, it's freeze-dried. What it is is the volume, what happened is whatever moisture was there, it recolected. Yeah, it just what one of the what basically you redeveloped is coffee tar instead of a freeze-dried coffee Okay, it originally when they made instant coffee. Remember your instant coffee came from the Civil War Most people realize that but what they did is what they created was coffee tar and What they would do is take coffee make a very rich rich coffee pour it into cake pans like big long cake like pizza pans almost And what they would do is let it dry in the sun. And of course, as far as the south you went, better off that would be. But, you know, a hot summer like on the coast. And what it would do is create coffee tar. And then they wore, or like coffee jerky. And what they did is they would tear that off and weigh that. And that was instant coffee back in the day. So you just made coffee tar. That's what you did. Is there any way to reconstitute this? Is it usable? All you need to do is pour is it a glass jar? Yeah, it is. Okay, well then just what the old trick that you would do if you were desperate, if you're if you're need a coffee, is just warm up some hot water pour it in there and shake it around and pour off what you want. without using all of it. But it would only be good for, I mean eventually coffee, it's an organic like anything else. As long as it's not molding in there or something, it was sealed so it probably didn't. The biggest thing is that whatever moisture was available collected and pulled to the product and it compressed. It actually And I didn't fully rehydrate, but it has density, which, you know, sucked it over and bring it together. It kind of does look moldy, to be honest with you. Oh, well, you see, if you were behind the wire and you see coffee, like I said, as a commodity, well, you know, you bite the coffee bullet. Somebody might need a little penicillin, right? Yeah, I know. Yeah, is it kind of why does that kind of like a white patima to it? It may not be yeah Yeah, probably no I heard another voice callers up in there. What do we have hey? Tom another thing you get you people can do is dry out the coffee grounds. I mean use them and reuse them yeah, well you don't have to dry them out, but you know, but yeah, well basically is just you know again if you have to stretch the feel for the regular whole coffee is You'll use a little less than you normally would with the first batch and add another scoop and and then we'll add a little richer flavor to what's left of the other one other other coffee that's in there, but yeah, there's there's number of tricks and Techniques that truly poor people have done in our lifetime on a regular basis. I mean because You guys know where this conversation is getting into crackhead territory, right? I'm going to have something to get at. Well, you know, yeah, but you know, this is true. This is what we're talking about. But guys, coffee is going to become a currency. Coffee went into the insane crisis back in the 70s. Nobody, well, I remember it, but not everybody got a job with memory. It's one of the many items that as an investment, there's money in the bank. You just got to make sure you don't open it up until you need it. God bless our Republic. Upward is that for a Nescafe game from San Can. Way back when. Anybody got a way to go? Everybody's taking a seat. Again, Mike's putting him on the corner. We'll be back for the evening. He's telling the court at 8 o'clock.
