Grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen. Justice demanded satisfaction. A teacher that I had, I went through the seventh grade, I went to the seventh grade. I left home when I was 10 years old because I was hungry. work in the summer, I go to school in the winter. But I had this one teacher, he was the principal of the Harrison School in Vincent, Indiana. To me, this was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time, anyhow. He had such wisdom, and we were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day. And he walked over, this little old teacher, Mr. Laswell was his name. Mr. Laswell, he says, I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester. and it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I, me, an individual, a committee of one, pledge, dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-fitty, allegiance, my love and my devotion to the flag. Our standard, oh glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect. Because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job. United. That means that we have all come together. States. Individual communities that have united into 48 great states. 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose. And that's love for country. And to the republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people. And it's from the people to the leaders. Not from the leaders to the people for which it stands. One nation, one nation, meaning so blessed by God, indivisible, capable of being divided with liberty, which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation and justice. The principle or qualities of dealing fairly with others for all for all Which means boys and girls? It's as much your country as it is mine and now boys and girls Let me hear you recite the pledge of allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible With liberty and justice for all since I was a small boy two states have been added to our country and Two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance Under God wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools to the other night that I didn't understand a Figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. 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, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken snumber and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm And keep our country deep and dead put men of God in jail harass 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 born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, get 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 and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Northwest, Northeast, North Central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on you.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And of course we're on satellite. Want to say hi to all our merchant marine out there? I've got some relatives on the big boats, although I think one of them might finally have retired. But anyway, a lot of other people out there using the satellite phone and other set up and downlink technology to bounce the signal of this program all over the oceans, which is really cool. Anyway, we're also in a myriad of communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is, well, it's Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 20th of April. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian, socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords, let the dance continue. And it shall. As a matter of fact, a couple things here real quick, there are over at Atlantic Firearms, they have a bunch of Russian equipment that came in, well, Romanian. Warsaw Pact, Cold War Tech, into the end of the fall of the wall, maybe a little beyond. But there is a mix of stuff that's come in. If you're looking for rounding out your 510 program with the AK-47 variant, whatever, AKM, AK-47. Everything, all the odds and ends stuff that used to be a lot cheaper, still cheap right now by comparison to other items out there. But not as cheap as it used to be, but still reasonably priced and with some really good bundle and quantity prices. Now, I don't know how long you're gonna last, it's been a roller coaster last couple of days. It is weapons Wednesday. If you're looking for steel, Romanian, or steel, AK mags, Romanian, Bulgarian, I wouldn't care which there. Or for that matter, any of the rest of Warsaw Pact. They were built like a brick dog house, they work every time. If they got a little bit of oxidation, clean them up, strip off the cleaner. And if need be, paint them. Over top of whatever else is there, paint them. That's been the oldest solution in the books. Once you get the oxidation off and you neutralize it, you can use some rust neutralizer if you want to. If there is a little touch of rust, that's just a precaution that I would take maybe because you're investing money and this is stuff that's supposed to keep you alive. I would then paint it to give it an additional oxygen barrier beyond everything else. And then once everything's settled for a bit, lubricate, you know, very lightly whatever needs to be where the trails and rails are, where the follower runs up and down, and also lightly lubricate, very, very lightly lubricate the main spring, the magazine spring. Otherwise, pouches, slings, cleaners, bayonets, I got a ton of bayonets. Again, take a look, see if it's anything that's useful. It's over Atlantic and they have a bunch of other stuff, of course, in all of the modern arms inventory in terms of martial arms. So there might be something else there that would be useful to round out your collection and or selection depending upon where you are with your planning and resource slash logistics program. So it's again worthwhile. A couple of the things here real quick. Have they shot up Minneapolis, St. Paul yet? Have the Israeli run street gangs done another firefight somewhere yet? It's really funny. It's pretty well acknowledged. Wait a minute. I do have to mention this. You guys all did catch that the guy that they did arrest who they know is a perpetrator of the exchange of gunfire that took place in South Carolina. The guy was let out on a $25,000 bond. Now we're talking, this is the classic example of when the OY boys of course are protecting their own, etc, etc. An example, do you know what my bond was for what was a nonviolent action as far as, well, I mean, nobody was killed, nobody was shot at, per se. There was much gnashing of teeth and running of hair of the bad guys. But anybody remember what the bond that they set, how high it was for just chasing after me basically, okay? Well, there was a little confrontation, but what's amazing about this is this guy was involved in a shootout. A $25,000 bond on the characters out in home release. Now, do you think you'd get that? Do you honestly think you would get that? That tells you a great deal about who's perpetrating this, who's who in the zoo. And again, remember, you promised your minions that, hey, nothing's gonna happen, critical. Don't worry, you'll be out the next day. We will be shooting some people. Yeah, I know. Listen, I know, I told you to shoot some people. Don't lie, my boys are there. We'll take care of it. Watch and see what happens. I'm telling you, listen, you got the money for the deal, didn't you? You got paid, shut up, do what you're supposed to do. You'll be out the next day. Guess what? You're out the next day. Wow, Shazam, Sergeant Carter. So have the Israeli mercenaries, I should say the minions, the street gangs for the Israeli Mossad, have they shot up Minneapolis, St. Paul or one of the northern cities yet? Because It should be happening any day now. Of course, they might try to just stretch it out a little bit and wait, but it can be a little, well, it can't be too much farther south. So it's like Wisconsin, Minnesota. There's nothing happened in the Dakotas, but that doesn't mean that they couldn't find some homey fry and Bismarck or something like that to use and buy them, they'll import them, they've done it before, and they'll do it again. So anyway, just heads up on that also, oops, technology moving around and I don't need that. One of the other things that is weapons Wednesday, going of course all this is weapons related, including the shooting by the gangs back and forth that of course wounded so many, but we're just gonna let the guy out on the street. $25,000 bodies out on the street and homely fries sucking Pina Coladas at home. Yeah, but those protesters down in Washington are still in jail, but 15 months later, 16 months later. Yeah, they can't have a bond. Oigevolt, I'm telling you. Again, this is why we need an American war for independence. That's all there is to it. Get rid of this problem once and for all. at least for our lifetime. And we'll still be fighting an uphill battle to get everything squared away after we win. Okay, don't think it's over just because you win that round. There's plenty more to go. Anyway, another thing here real quick over, if it looks like, I know what's funny, I looked at this last night after we were talking on the air. And 30-06 has been swept up across the country at all points of the compass. Many of the companies that normally would have at least three, four flavors of very expensive upper end heavy ball of some kind, not heavy ball, but forgive me, heavy sporting load of some kind. 30 out of six is being consumed. Now that's good, I know why. I mean, a lot of people have invested heavily, including this latest generation, have invested heavily in 30 out of six and are scooping up whatever they can get their hands on. However, what's interesting is I've not seen any additional PPU come in and that means that it's possible either they've rerouted their production, which I can understand looking at war on their doorstep. Serbia is right next to what's going on over there in the Ukraine. But it was the PPU that was producing a brand new ball round for the M1 Grand, specifically for the M1 Grand. Now, I'm gonna tell you if you see any of that, buy it. I've always heard people say, well, you don't trust old ammo and I don't trust old ammo. This is it. We couldn't something could happen that well, I've shot a lot of old ammo and I have the US military unless you really abused the stuff badly. When I say abused, I'm talking about it was left in a wet garage basement. Okay, in an open can. And even then, most of the stuff will shoot, trust me. We've done some really weird things in our, well, we'll see, nearing things when I have found stuff laying around. And we always want to try and figure out, wow, what would this do? And so, again, this is brand new, factory ammunition built either for the Italian or the American Garans. You might recall that there's been a bunch of Italian grandkids that came out here about a year ago, well a little more now, but the end of it was about six, seven months ago. And those guns mostly were being sold by the Italians to the Renna Revolution companies and they in turn marketed a lot of those into Syria and over into the bottom of Turkey like with the Kurds. So, other than the heavy, heavy editing and engineering, because you've got to believe there's only AKs and ARs out there, a lot of these other weapons that were viable, very viable, have actually been put into second service or third service with these other countries and with the fighting forces on the ground there. So the grand ammunition is a viable commercial venture to be able to market not just the United States, but a lot of other places where there are people shooting at each other. I'll guarantee that the Italians also, or at least their mercenary counterparts, slash the render evolution companies, sold to the other Arab states where we have fighting going on right now and has been for quite some time, for instance Yemen. Italy had a lot of really good contacts. I have more of mine to go all the way back to desert dust part one. The adventure begins. About one third of the soft skin heavy truck fleet that you saw being used or shot to snot during desert dust part one and even a desert dust part two was Italian. a very large number of Italian heavy military trucks. They're one and a half ton, deuce and a half, five toners, and even dragon wagons. They were Italian, okay? And this is also true for the rest of the Middle East. It's right there, the boots right there in the Mediterranean doesn't take anything from the ship very far. So there was a market for both their leftovers from earlier generation military. And new production less expensive because the Italians made it and so Fiat and a bunch of the other companies out there, needless to say, took advantage of the market. The same is true of the weapons. Now, another thing we were talking about there is a certain amount of 30-06 AP ammo coming in from Turkey, part of their strategic reserve. They're putting that out on the market and allowing it to come in here. It's a mix of head stamps, but kind of like that 303 British stuff. It's Winchester, mostly. You know, flinchchester, Winchester. Mark, I thought that was 8 millimeter. That's 8 millimeter. Well, they have 8 millimeter. 303, well, 8 millimeter's the AP. Remember, we were talking about 303 yesterday. There's a quantity of 303 British ball ammo that is Winchester produced that's out there right now. And again, most everybody has some. So if you do have an Enfield, it's under a dollar a round. It's still about a dollar a round. And the only thing I will say is this. If you can find PPU, you're buying brand new ammunition from the factory. Now this is Winchester. I wouldn't care who made it. British Canadians out there too. Forgive me. Canadian Broadhead Armory 1939 to 1943. Remember, we found that yesterday too. That's also out there in 303 British. Now the 30-06, it's a mix of head stamps, but also from the same window of time. It's AP. There is a limited amount of it. And apparently, beginning of World War II to the middle of World War II. That's kind of interesting because I would be thinking that rather than that having been flushed down the supply chain by NATO. that that's probably ammunition that goes all the way back to World War II when we were operating in the Mediterranean. The 8 millimeter Mauser obviously would be a leftover and everybody had some. But the 30 out 6, just like the 8 millimeter, a lot of that by date and window, it's still period of time when we were on the ground there. And we get the jerks and the erect. The 30 out 6 AP is like hen's teeth. You can't get anywhere. I'm gonna get the projector. Right, and they're bringing it in from outside. Again, that's what I said, but it's expensive. Okay, whoever does have any left, it ain't 25 cents around for surplus like it used to be, needless to say. So pay attention. Well, I mean, is it more than $1.60 that I'm gonna pay for the Norma hunting ammo? Yeah, well, yeah, actually, it's about $1.50 or $1.40-something, I think, is what it comes down to, which is not bad. Because you can't find that type of AP. The American AP is gold standard. Guys, the American AP penetrator was so cool that I know guys who are machinists who used to keep two of them in their pocket. You know what they used them for? They used them for punches, for setting, yeah, they would hold up forever. We built some of the most god awful high quality, technically would be outrageously expensive for any other country. And we made so much of that AP, we're still shooting it 70, 80 years later. Think about that. Now the reason that what's critical understand I mentioned this the other day But let's qualify this the US AP both in the M 250 caliber and in the M 230 caliber are a Spire point type projectile the penetrator itself is it literally goes right to a razor tip like a dark like a fine dart tip and No matter what, it works. I mean, they optimally, both for the 50, although the 50 settles, I think, at 380 yards. But the 30 cal penetrates better at 300 yards than it does at closer ranges. And this is something that was planned into the design under the logic that most of the AP was gonna be run by Browning machine guns. So what happened is they turned around and of course used it in anything. The Garand's, they used everything they had to get their hands on. And in the process, needless to say, it worked with any .30-06 rifle that was out there. Springfield, Garand, 1917, Browning, BAR, et cetera. Now, the European AP concept is different. They went with what traditionally is a design that goes all the way back to World War I. And it was a conical with a flat face. Now, I don't know if that's because they're making the, initially making the projectile out of rod, which I think both would could be done the same way that they were actually milled. down, but the Germans went with a very narrow flat surface at the end of the conical, like about the size of the lead on a pencil. That's the good dimension right there. And then the conical goes out on an angle, a very steep angle from there, and then the rest of it is just a straight penetrator piece of slug steel. Now, this is all tempered. This stuff is not just mild metal. That's why both with the APs, no matter which one you get, the penetrator has superior metallurgical performance over most of what it even hits in terms of being more resilient and in general being able to carve through metal. Now I will say this, remember homogeneous armor plate is not your boiler plate, you know, quarter inch steel or eight inch steel you normally just buy off the shelf. A couple of the Bren gun carriers that we have have a score of hits on the front right gunner's plate. And you can see right where that AP stapled that route, he stapled the steel but didn't penetrate. It scored, but it did not penetrate completely. However, going through a lot of other objects like engine box, any other opportunity point, the idea is that that penetrator would plow through where the jacket obviously or ball round would fail. So it's useful. There's not a whole lot that anybody is carrying in the way of plate that will stop all M2AP. And I would point out something interesting here. No country right now has as a primary weapon the Browning 1919 machine gun. Okay, that's the standard Browning to see World War II Korea. And yes, we still used it in Vietnam, the US military did. And yet, I want you to go look at body armor, rifle body armor specs. You may have noticed and I pointed this out a year ago that with the new rifle armor, body armor specs that they have been touting. They keep quoting that the new armor will stop M2AP 30-06. Guys, the only people that have probably got M2AP 30-06 right now is who? The American population. It isn't really hanging around out there in these third party countries, there is some. But remember, we have dominated the purchase market and back in the 80s and in the early 90s, when they were demilitarizing all that ammunition, we ended up with virtually millions, if not tens of millions of rounds, if not well over, they say up to 80 million rounds were released of M2AP alone in reconstructed ammunition. So that's a hell of a reproduction factory going on. They had to disassemble it to conform to the law. And then literally at the same site, they had a reloading, they had a literally a production machine, not a hand press like you use at home, but they had production machinery reassembling everything and putting it all right back together with a new primer. And it didn't go to military. So they just had to change the primer and the powder, right? Just the primer and the powder? just the primer. They used the powder over again. There was nothing wrong with it. So I mean, they did test burns. How do I get? Okay. Yeah, they test burned the powder. That's one thing. Thank you for bringing it up. One of the things that you do is what's called a flash burn test. And there's actually, it's a couple of different techniques that are used. One has to do with litmus paper, et cetera. And you want to test the, what you do is actually color identify the quality of the burn after the fact by testing the carbon, the leftover carbon. Because it will determine how much is inert raw material that should have been consumed by the, well, it's inert when it didn't burn, but it was the leftover material from a combustion of the powder that you're testing. And so they did burn tests, the M250 caliber ammunition, anything that they rebuilt, M2, .50 caliber, all types, AP, armor, piercing, incendiary, incendiary tracer, standard ball, all of that. They reloaded with the original powder to the original factory spec, and they did replace it with a brand new, at the time it was CCI primer. Now, the interesting thing is, is that because of this, everybody was lamenting that primers were harder to find. Well, it's because somebody was actually loading ammo in the United States. It was the disassembly contractor that was putting the stuff online. Now I would say this, they probably didn't need to do that. They were doing it for the sake, I am sure, of reliability and liability. So what they did is they used a new primer to extend the shelf life of the ammunition for storage. So that's really not a bad thing. However, it's kind of sad because I doubt that any of those primers were malfunctioning. Because the quality and the standards of the day when they were built were much higher than what we have now. Plus they were using what are usually, I've mentioned this many times, pre-Vietnam or right to the middle of Vietnam guys, and even through all of Vietnam. They use somebody caustic and toxic materials that they aren't allowed to use anymore because of whatever regulations. And you gotta remember the stuff that they were using back then wasn't probably healthy for the people that were putting it together. But my God, once they put it together, the stuff would be good forever. I'm gonna give you an example, something I haven't talked about much. I have cases of Vietnam era sunburn cream made in 1967 and 68. I got another batch from 73 and I have cases. Cases, you open that stuff up and it looks just like it did when it went in the can. The stuff does not break down in the sun because it was meant for Vietnam. You can't get hot enough here unless you get on to Texas or Louisiana or maybe Florida. But if you're up here, the stuff sits on your skin and if you put it on your skin and you use it here in Michigan. When you wipe it off at the end of the day, if you didn't put it in certain spots, everywhere where you put it, you can spell your name and stuff. It absolutely is 100% sunblock. Now, I don't know what's in it, but I'll tell you what. Two things, number one, it's maintained its original composition for the whole time it's been in storage. Number one, and I got it secondhand from Barnacle Wharf trading out of Ohio. I told you many years ago burned down. They bought this stuff from the underground story site at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. They have so many stories underground, you're not supposed to know about that. So anyway, the stuff has been in, it's been out of sight. underground and every once in a while I looked at it the other day my open one. I already have a case it's open. You know what doesn't look any different from what I bought it 40 years ago. This is the year 2022 do the math. Okay, I bought it back in the early 80s like about 82 or 83 right around there and I couldn't pass it up. It was like $2 for a case of I think there's 200 and some they're like shoe polish cans. They're only they're they're rounded. They're not they're not square corners. They're actually rounded like a cosmetic cup Anyway, that's an example of their every many many different things Not only is it that you can use it, you know, leave it the way it is if it's properly stored Here's what gets me a lot of that stuff World War two Korea Vietnam especially early Vietnam Guys the stuff can sit outside and just be in the weather and survive I'm amazed when I do little archaeological digs at different locations what I found and it's like you know you dust it off you wash it off a little bit you know maybe you know clean it up with a brush and the stuff is ready to roll. Little red paint. Yeah Mr. Lead Paint was our friend that's absolutely correct that's true on top everything else then you got lead paint and by the way it's not most of your rifles too if you have an Enfield I've mentioned this many times Don't look bother stripping that rifle down. You have anywhere from 5 to 10, hell you might even have 14 layers or 15 layers of high grade, very toxic as far as the whatever the material, the polymer that was used in addition to the lead bonding base. That paint doesn't come off. So, don't try and take it off. Don't try and expose the metal. It's already been protected for 70, 80 years. Didn't go anywhere. In fact, the only place where there's oxidation is where there were wear points. So, focus on keeping those either, A, lubricated or make a point of where it's something that should have been painted. Break out the little tester's paintbrush. Give a little paint here and there to cover it up and create an oxygen barrier. That's more useful and it prevents a lot of repetitive maintenance if that's you know, if you really want to save some time and Preserve the piece of equipment just something to think about there Anyway, second. Yes. So, you know who's selling that? Well, it was listed at classic firearms, but they're out of everything in 30 out 6 The only thing that they have a classic right now is to is they have 30 out 6 snap caps They are out of every other load of 30 out of 60. They've actually some of that they've been hanging out to all the while we had the ammunition rush because it was some of the most expensive 30 out six in the country. They had some very unique big game loads. They've even sold those. The reason I bring it up is the last time I was able to source any M2AP. It was $2. a bullet and it had machine pull marks on it. So if I can get a fully loaded 30-06, I will de-pull that and I will put it in my 308 and I won't have any machine marks and I can use it for the special match. Right, as long range count. In fact, that's basically what everybody was doing for the longest time as they were buying the pulled bullets. In this case, and I'm trying to think who else might have some of this, again, Czech Center Fire Systems. because they had- I've been checking for the last two years and I found one spot at one point where I wasn't willing to pay $2 a bullet for a machine pole with the marks on them because I've got enough of those 25 cents bees for. Yeah, and real quick on that note before we forget go over to Atlantic and spot check them because they have been getting a lot of other of this ammunition in they've got the same connection everybody else has. And recently they've been pulling a lot more surplus than they, well, that won't say normal, but they've been pulling a lot of surplus recently. And I know they've tapped into the turkey stuff because they're like a CDNN, you know, with, you know, five, six, seven, eight variations on the turkey shotguns. So as far as the black plastic and pistol grip models. I know they've been getting the ammunition in and I don't know who hasn't left or if anybody hasn't already snagged it up because it's like I said. I'd say you gotta be Johnny on the spot to get that. And also the problem is that all odd six right now, all odd six is being scarfed up. There is a major push to pick up everything, which I don't have a problem with. I think it's great because like I said, guys, that's a superiority round. The odd six round is a superiority round, a supremacy round. It's not likely that those armories that they're going to bring back online are going to be running 30 up 6. No, they'll be doing it. In fact, one of the things that we've talked about, they may be bringing them up to do that 6.8 millimeter round. See, nobody's discussed that. Now, if they did that, it would be kind of goofy, but you see, think about it. They wanna try and re-outfit the whole military, which is stupid to go from the AR-15, M16 platform, when you've got everybody else embracing it. Why would you change out the weapon at a time when you've got everybody on the same page for the moment? And especially if you're going into war, that is especially desirable. Changing calibers at the beginning of a conflict would be, it's like I said, for the last year here when they announced it, this is pretty stupid. It's obvious they're probably going into a war. How quickly can they establish the re-inventory? Now, they may have already had all these other ammo companies guys spitting the stuff out, cuz they're not gonna tell you. I think they're lying through their teeth, like I said, they're not up to full production with us. The ammunition companies know where their bread is buttered, but they also remember their licenses all come from the Fed. Whether the queers are in charge, the petal queers or whoever, they don't care. They don't. As far as that goes, I have no confidence or trust in them whatsoever. And the fact of the matter is that they will ride with the new world order click in a heartbeat because they're just too big. So just a heads up on that one. And again, this thing about the 6.8, it's basically acknowledging what I've said for as long as I've been talking or even when I've been developing my interest in weapons. Dropping your entire combat arsenal down in caliber and range because you reduce range. penetration automatically by dropping down to where we did with 556. No matter what they say, it was proven even by the manuals. After we officially finally said we're not really gonna carry the M14, and I'm not talking during Vietnam. It wasn't until 7576 where the government finally was saying, well, the official main battle rifle had not changed. It was still the M14 through all of the Vietnam War. Even though many units carried the M16A1 rifle guys, on official doctrine boards, our NATO gun was the M14, which is why we had so many millions of them in inventory. Okay, because we wanted range and penetration. Well, what's interesting is at the end of Vietnam, they announced, no, the M16A1 is gonna be the the Wunderbar gun of choice. But here's the problem, we didn't have a sign 556. And they had no interest initially in changing that weapon. They stuck with the M60 machine gun. Why? Because unlike the 556, the M60 could plow through everything. And if you have any of the old urban warfare manuals, not mount manuals, the urban warfare manuals or infantry combat operations FM. I can show you, I've got copies of them. If you have trouble getting through doors or getting through positions or obstacles, call up your M60 gunner. Well, why? Oh, that's right, EZN 762 by 51 NATO, not 556. And so it even acknowledges in the manuals right there that it had greater fire had greater firepower, obviously, melted weapon, but it also had greater range and penetration, both at intermediate and long range. In fact, it had superior penetration in all categories. There's absolutely no reason for us to be going over to a 6.8 round, other than just bastardizing everybody else's inventory. That's all they're doing this for. That's actually my 50. Repeat color. Go ahead. Yeah, that's such a much. I said the that M 60 will turn your cover into concealment. Yeah, exactly. Again, that was the whole idea. In fact, instead of completely just barring or like we remember they we did finally get a saw. Okay, a 556 saw. And when they did, you'll notice we didn't dump 762 by 51 NATO. Did we? What did they do? They reinvented the Browning machine gun with the mag 58. Now if you don't know that you go take a look at the mag 58. And by the way, Belgium, which is where the mag 58 came from, is where Browning, your Browning of Europe is centered. And what they did is basically flip the gun upside down and put a gas system on it comparable to most of the other Russian or Warsaw pack guns of the day. But the mag 58, the basic gun is nothing but the Browning reintroduced after we dumped it. So instead of common sense sticking with the Browning 1919, in the A6, we could have made an A8 or A9 configuration, they didn't. But they never dropped it. And there's a couple of reasons for that. Number one, we still needed a support gun on the roof of the APCs and on the roof of the Abrams and already other battle tanks. And it was for it's a gunner operator support gun. Also, it's your coaxial gun. Go ahead, caller. Chip in there. Don't get breaking by the remote acting at the same. Wait, hold on. You're really, okay, you're going up and down and jiggling a little bit. Stop whatever you're doing, get close to that microphone and go slow and enunciate again, please. Okay, on the latest Dungeons and Dragons, it was done an hour ago, breaking Biden's remote action ATF director's replacement name. And then eight hours ago, man defends himself with his armed charge action. It was done eight hours ago on Dungeons and Dragons. And then one day ago, they both used light coaches for violent criminals. gang shootings that are now the norm. That's the big wave. Now, isn't it amazing how we have these consistent waves of gangs conveniently having shootouts? Which by the way, we've had before in Chicago every weekend, and they don't even talk about it. But all of a sudden, we instead of the usual mass shooter that, well, everybody can put down in a heartbeat, especially since everybody's looking for him now. Now we have, well, first days they're supposedly mass shootings. They keep ending up being butterflies. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the channel. I appreciate your time. Thank you for watching. We got some breaking news from within the ATF. Word has come out that Marvin Richardson, who is the acting director of the ATF, is being demoted. Now Richardson, first off, I don't know, this is not a feel sorry for Marvin Richardson because he's an ATF agent and they suck. But Richardson has been with the ATF for 30, over 30 years, is about to retire in a couple months. And he's been the acting director since June of 2001. Now Biden has become, has come under an immense amount of pressure from these anti-gunners and I've done a couple videos. here on the channel about that. But they've said things in a paraphrasing that the ATF leadership has become too friendly with the gun lobby and that they go to shot show and they should be more tyrannical, basically. So we do know that Biden's first nominee to be the head of the ATF, David Chippen, his nomination was pulled because of all the dirt that came out about him. And he just announced officially last week that Steve Dedelbeck is his next pick and Dedelbeck in certain ways is worse than Chipman. But in preparation for this nomination process and the confirmation process I should say, the current acting director has just been demoted. Now it's also come out that Biden has or is expected to pick an Arizona prosecutor as the next interim director looking to force the fact that his nominee from last week gets selected. Now this guy on screen is Gary M. Restiano and he is the top US prosecutor in Arizona. The Biden administration plans to pick him as the next interim director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Joe Biden and his extreme group of clowns are trying to make the ATF a more tyrannical agency. It seems that he seems to think that they are There just to make buying guns By Americans a thing of the past that's not what the agencies for in fact they came out for taxes And that's all they are is your tax group. That's either way. It's an infringement the ATF has a leadership change coming one way or another hit the subscribe button down below and Follow my channel on all the platforms. It's on and I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time Breaking news, let me know what you think about it down below. Until we see each other again, be safe, stay vigilant, carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe because that's what the Second Amendment is for. And that's what makes them square. Take care. The Soros clan or click is, you know, two, three, maybe what, four, well, four generations right now. I will remind you again that a shirt-tailed Soros is who married Chelsea Clinton. Go look that up. And how old is she and how old would that person be? No, don't think George wrinkled Soros. Soros were SARS. Instead, think much, much, much, much younger, but same turds, different end of the string as far as when they were laid. But the stench is the same. Anyway... Real quick here, you know what? We do need some help on this because we were just brought this up about the odd six AP. There's also the again the 792 by 57 AP. We're also I'm interested to see how much of the 303 came out or popped into the system because we do have a lot of people who bought those Enfields 25, you know, 2025 years ago. There was a big wave that came in. Now there's a bunch of them out there right now. But when that last wave came in, it was mostly from India. And it was a mix. It was both British standard issue and colonial gun production. All of them work. A lot of you guys might have the .308 end fields that came out at the very end. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Yeah, let's take the mix again. Yeah, I wanted to go back to the 6.8. I saw some videos on it. And from what I understand, the Some of the videos that have come out about it have said that because of the the armor upping, you know, everybody's getting armor now and that what this the round is for is There's a bug there but it actually doesn't do well against I saw I think the kids name was CRS firearms and he did a video and he's explaining that you know, how you know how Like you're saying, why would you do this? And the 6.8 really doesn't do that well against ceramics, but it does real well against steel plate. And so who, why would, since most of your militaries would probably use ceramics, who would this ammo be for then? Who wears mostly steel plate? Who are they targeting? Exactly. Their perceived threat is that they plan on waging war against the American people. And that does fall in line with the UN scam. Remember, all the militaries are supposed to be converted into, that's what that third tier thing is I keep telling you about. All the militaries are to be converted into UN police force. A little sub note on that, remember, NATO already was signed over. When you see NATO, just say UN. When you see NATO, that's UN. NATO signed off to UN two decades ago. There's no farther than that now. This is the year 2022. Two decades and a half plus. And guys, we covered that when it was happening and everybody, oh, they can't do that. Yeah, yes, they did. Early 90s. Okay, so it's actually more than 25 years. But the interesting thing about this is you know, Tex-Mex think about it guys, you know Dar was just mentioned a moment ago You could you can take 30 out 6 AP projectiles. They're all 30 caliber and You could take and load them up into a 7 6 2 by 51 NATO round and you end up with comparable performance So why is it that they didn't do this? Well interestingly enough You know who got our AP production and then I don't know they sold it off to somebody or they just made it disappear. We gave at least one of the production plants to the Israelis at least the machinery to do AP and they did load 762 by 51 NATO AP for Israeli military application. But there's only a small amount of it that came out, well, I won't say a small amount, a bunch of it came out on the surplus. I tried to tell everybody not to shoot it, okay? Now, the difference between the 30-06 projectile and the 7.62x51 NATO projectile was about an eighth of an inch shorter in overall length of the bullet jacket. The AP penetrator was approximately the same length and rested right at the base of the casting for the base of the bullet where the with the lead caps over the open cup. Do we have another caller? Before I get farther, I hear a lot of noise. Don't want to leave anybody out. Okay, so there was 3.08, 7.62 by 51 NATO, made with our projectile, made with our base projectile technology and then it just disappeared. Now, if you really wanted to improve the 7.62x51 NATO guys, everything that we built in the way of a bullet for World War II, in other words, M2AP type, armor piercing incendiary, incendiary tracer, what was the other one? Frangible HE. Which most people have never seen but we actually developed it. It's an HE round that's designed so when it makes contact, it was like an air defense artillery shell. Not to be confused with frangible ball. Now, frangible ball is a training round used for either air to air targeting of drones. The target drones we pulled behind a targeting aircraft. And it was also used with what they call the P-38 pinball aircraft. You're not familiar with that. They arbor it up. My God, I can't see this being too sensible, but by God, they did it. They actually arbor it up P-38s and put electronic like the mild system, electronic lighting on board. And literally, when you were shooting at the plane with 30 caliber ammunition, 30 caliber frangible, The round would break up, but it would have enough impact so it would literally light the plane up so you can see whether or not you hit it. And not only that, but where you hit it. Now, I mean, that's not too safe an environment for any pilot, no matter how crazy you might be if you're willing to fly that plane. Maybe it was safer than going into combat, so sure, I'll fly a target drone. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, What's fascinating about this is that they actually had to armor the plane up dramatically. So it became an improved aircraft and they actually were discussing putting it in the field, but it added too much weight and dropped the performance down. So there was a big debate about it, but it literally called it pinball machine because when you hit it, it actually would light up, you know, there were no flares or anything like that. It would light up where it had impact. Very sophisticated, obviously. Also, again, that's what the frangible ball was for. And I will point out, frangible ball is deadly if you get shot with it, don't you think? Well, it's kind of like a training ground or a blank ground. No, it's a frangible graphene projectile, and when it hits, it's like a shotgun shell. I've told you before, I'd turn it down on a target if I knew, you know, if I thought I had something that was a clean shot. If you hit somebody in the fringe, you will 30 out of 6. Somebody probably think you walked up with a 4-10 and pulled the trigger in point blank range. That's how mean it is because it literally pulverizes. It was designed to dissipate and break up. And it's the crystalline structure of the material is such that it's supposed to break down into like gravel or dust. But if you hit somebody with it, you don't really want it. Well, you're gonna be doing some major repair work Let's put it that way far worse than a regular 30 on 6 round But fragile balls used to be out there for pennies because you know every impact all this stuff was I mean that's you know used to be should have could have It's not like that anymore But it's this is all stuff that could have been built with the 762 by 51 8 or it could be right now We don't need to change the round There's no improvement by doing so In fact, to be quite honest, let's think about something. You could take the 300 blackout cartridge, developed very quickly a handful of comparable rounds, and you wouldn't have to change anything other than the upper receiver or the barrel of the rifle. Think about it. Your base configuration, in fact, you would change maybe the bolt. Not the whole boat carrier guys. All you'd have to do is buy a new barrel system and a new bolt and you can change out existing you know, ARM 16 platform guns would be in service, but it would be more economical and smart just to build a whole bunch of 300 blackout uppers in military spec and then build the ammunition to go with them. If you're willing to go AR 10, Then you go 762 by 51 NATO standard and everybody's happy. See, in fact, you could even do that right now with the scar. Remember the scars are in 308. They're in, you know, whatever caliber you want to buy them in. Well, not any caliber, but they are in a variety of calibers right now. Go ahead, call her a heard voice. Jump in there. Yeah, Mark, it's fluffy. I heard an expression years ago that seems to publicly describe this new relatively new phenomenon about, you know, what then wanting to change calibers at the beginning, possible beginning of the conflict. It's a solution in search of a problem. Yeah, exactly. Well, every country that's ever done it always drops it. Let me point that out. If you go back historically through the, you know, different European countries, US actually did the same thing because we during the expeditionary era, we had 30-40 Craig, but we also overlapped that thinking we were going to go to a laser beam gun in the 6mm Lee, the Navy, 6mm Navy cartridge. Okay? It was virtually the ballistics, except for the weight of the bullet. Think about this. Well, I've told everybody this for years. The M16 idea is not new. The 6 millimeter is as small as anybody experimented with during the process of going down smaller and smaller and driving the velocity up higher with newer and newer smokeless powders. The 6mm Lee, 6mm Navy as you would find it, is from the Spanish-American War, the Boxer Rebellion and the Nicaraguan Revolt. Okay? In each case, especially when it was used in the Boxer Rebellion, it was used side by side with the 3040 Craig. The 30 caliber projectile, even though the Craig was again a little more than 3030 Winchester basically, little better, little better and bigger bullet. It still outperformed the 6mm Lee because with such high velocity and even though it did have a heavier, I think the top end was a 90 grain bullet with a 6mm bore. Now, understand, like you said, that's a pencil bullet, guys. That's what they used to call them. The Carcano uses a pencil bullet. The 6.5 Swede traditionally used a pencil bullet. Anything that was in 6.5, they typically had to go to get weight. You've got to stretch that projectile out. Now, the stability is reasonable, but there's no energy delivered against the target. So what happened, it was like stabbing somebody with an ice pick. And so they had lots of velocity. They had all kinds of, well, they didn't have great range, but they had reasonable range. And they're in the box. But they wouldn't know it. Well, they might not even be dead if you didn't get a critical point point like heart spine or head or neck. And it better be center neck because you got to want to snap the spine or you want to, you know, stab the heart. The thing is that if the guy was doped up and this is what happened during the Filipino the bogger during the boxer rebellion and the Philippine uprising both 3040 Craig and there were still six millimeter navies left around. And in both cases, you have that classic, well, the enemy's doped up and he just takes a whole pile of opium and then does a bonsai charge. And even though you're shooting, you dump the whole magazine on him, he still gets close enough that he hacks you to death with a machete before he dies. And this is the same argument and problem that we had with the 38 Auto, which everybody would technically call 38 Super today, to look at the performance range, it was comparable. Which is basically a glorified big long 9mm by the way. The argument was that those who were carrying the 45 original early 45 colts or the 45 service revolver. That they were putting targets down one round two rounds as opposed to dumping a whole magazine into somebody or a whole cylinder of a 38 Smith and Wesson. and the target reaching its goal and chopping your head off and stabbing you and taking an arm off and going crazy town and even though they were still shooting the guy, he was killing you. You killed him technically. He didn't know it. Like you said, he didn't have a clue. So this is why energy delivery surface space is why the 45 ACP came about, which everybody always tries to ignore. is that if you have to conform to the laws of round warfare, you have to create a ball round that's, you know, jacketed. And because of that, well, the bigger the bore with a pistol, the more surface space makes contact. It's just that simple. But it's also true, although it would seem like it would be, wouldn't be that great a difference, but, you know, six millimeter, go take a look at the size of that projectile. and take a look at 30 caliber or 8 millimeter. And again, you get both energy and penetration. It's still, with ball rounds, you always get penetration. So you don't see the hydrostatic effect you get with, you know, hunting rounds or with, you know, with a shock tumble round, which by the way, we used to call them dumb dumb rounds. Of course, they were all dumb dumb rounds because they also might just open up like a butterfly. But that would vary depending on who built it and who was talking about it and what era, guys. You'll find that nomenclature overlaps from one, one, idea to the next. And by the way, we're overlapping into the next hour. Oh my God. We're gonna take a break. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame Number you 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 and dead. 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 born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the 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 in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Because I had no magazines and then I met a Ukrainian who had no ammo no magazines no guns That little shyster president over there sold everything out the back door and made himself a billionaire. Yeah, so then the same little shyster president turned around and told you, why don't you go fight that guy with a glass bottle of gasoline? We don't have a rifle to give to you cuz we already sold them to our buddies. I'm telling you. Yeah, you're screwed anyway. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cornky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we're on satellite, wanna say hi to all of our merchant marine out there, and a myriad of communications technologies do no more as to mention right now. both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 20th of April. That means two-thirds of April is gone. We are headed, you know, to the countdown. Headed towards the end there. Does not give the days away, but let's keep in mind we got a lot to accomplish before this thing kicks off inside the U.S. And they're trying real hard. They're doing all kinds of wicked stuff. We gotta be ready for that. Anyway, it is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, baby in the socialist and the Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Now, like I said from the beginning, the Koshia Mafia, 98% of the Ukrainians are Orthodox Christians, as in traditional Orthodox, could be Ukrainian, Russian, Syrian Orthodox, rather Syrian Orthodox too, by the way, if you forgot that. Anyway, 98%, but all of the government's Jewish. Wow, what a surprise, just like what they're trying to do in the US. And again, whenever that happens, it's like you see right now in the US, you get ripped off left, right up and down, things are stolen out the back door, hell, they steal them right out the front door, because what are you going to do? Oi. So anyway, well, we know what we're going to have to do. You ain't going to mildew. But what's interesting about this is, again, it can be easily demonstrated if you just do a little bit of work. In fact, don't have to. They were even bragging, look, the president's Jewish, the other guy's Jewish, the other guy's Jewish. So, well, like I told you, the kosher muffins, why all the Republicans and Democrats who have bought without the ADL slash and the Mossad have been blackmailing with kiddie porn pictures showing them with an eight-year-old stuck to the reproductive organ, you know what I mean? That's the kind of wicked bastards that are in Washington. That's why they all stood up and did the, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, we gotta go, we are you great? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. because the Jewish mob has biological weapons research facilities, child porn, child kitty marketing, cage kids, and it all being run by the kosher mafia there. But meanwhile, if you were watching the cable stations, have you seen these ads? This is little babushka Jewish woman. She is in the Ukraine and it's called and Hi, my name is Via Sietzeksa, Sashimayd, I'm a female from Israel. And you gotta send money to us in Ukraine, because Mabushka Banka here, she's sitting in her house and she doesn't have matzas. She doesn't have matzas, you need to send me, I mean, send our nonprofit organization money to the Ukraine, because we need matzas. Because in fact, you should import them. I always figured, well, what the hell? I was looking at the address. How about if I just go over to the store, package up some matzas. If you ever know what matzas are, how they're made, you're going to know in a minute, by the way, because I'm going to have Ed play some here. But if you know how matzas are made, they're kind of like, you know, cardboard. They don't have any flavor hardly at all, but they are great. You know, you know, they're a great diet food. Anyway, you can ship them as, let's see, media mail. And just tell me, where is this little Babushka woman? I'll ship her a couple of boxes of matzas. She'll be happy. She'll have matzas. And I know the money went right to Babushka girl, okay? Not Yitzhak, Rabena, slash the character that's gonna divert the money for her beach house in Haifa or well, or slide it to the bank in Tel Aviv. Anyway, what's fascinating is if you haven't seen this, these ads pop up on all the different cable networks. Anybody that's got a cable station, Texas, Georgia, I don't know where you go, you'll see this ad. And it was before all the BS with the Yuck, Iranian War. By the way, another thing I want to remind you. I have decided to add a Y to the front because that'll you that'll you craniize the name so it's Yuck Rainier. Okay, just like KIEV. You mean KIEV? No, it's KY. Okay, so I'm gonna call you Yuck Rain from now on. Is it okay? I'm gonna add a Y to the front. Don't make me feel less Russian and more like I'm trying to be Ukrainian maybe. What do you think, Yuck Rainier? So anyway, what I wanted, Ed, if you could grab your pen. We're gonna have a little project here. I know it might take a minute to find this. Soviets banned, and this is the title of the video, by the way. Soviets banned the matzah. Now Ukraine supplies the 110 million American market, one big business. That's actually the name of this video. I wrote it down. Soviets banned matzas. Now Ukraine supplies the 110 million American market, one big business. Now this was in the mix if you were in looking at the YouTube random dark throw yesterday in the morning, okay? I always do that just, hey, go to the general and don't search for anything, just see what pops up. And there were all these, oh, you've got to be supporting Ukraine because of this, this, this, and this. And all of it was Jewish centric, which I'm a little confused about. Wouldn't I be talking about, we need to save Ukraine because of all of the beautiful, you know, Ukrainian Orthodox, you know, like, these are the Israelis. Make 700 pairs of Passover mashes a day. Even as Russian forces advance. When we filmed at the Tifares-Hamatsos bakery, the city of Dniepro wasn't invaded. But it was surrounded by war zones. For many here, making this sacred bread feels more important than ever. This would have been illegal back when their country was part of the Soviet Union. At one point, Jews were jailed for making or even just eating matzah. But these days, the country supplies an estimated 20% of all handmade matzah to the U.S. market. And now we're back again, sending out the best matzah, the real matzah throughout the whole world. Still, more than half of Americans buy matzah that comes off an assembly line. The last family-owned matzah maker in America called Strights can produce up to a million square-shaped sheets in a day. And it's been at it for nearly a century. Whether it's machine-made or handmade, many Jews have dedicated their lives to preserving what they call the bread of the poor. So how did this traditional food grow into a hundred and ten million dollar industry? Handmade matzah called Shmora or guarded in Hebrew is what the Ukrainian bakery Tafares HaMatsos specializes in making. You have to keep and you have to secure the matzah. This is Rabbi Meir Stomler. He inherited the business from his father 12 years ago. Today he supervises the work in accordance with Jewish law. The bakery grinds the wheat on site, and Rabbi Stombler regulates the amount of heat and moisture to keep the dough from rising. This is custom made for us, making sure it doesn't get heated too much from the moment that the wheat is in the field. And if it has any contact with water, that is already a problem. The unleavened bread is made of just two ingredients, flour and water. But making the dough is labor intensive. Joseph says this helps him keep his mind off of what's happening outside. It's all made by hand. It's going to take him about a minute until it's ready. From there, it's a race against the clock because the dough has to make it to the oven in just 18 minutes so it doesn't rise. When the Jews left Egypt, they didn't have time to bake their bread. So they had it very fast and what they ate was matzot. And everyone who touches the matzot until it's baked must be observant Jews. This metal rod helps workers knead the dough faster. He's making sure that it's being well done so this is a real piece of dough. Then they roll it into long logs and flatten it out with rolling pins. When it makes it to the oven, it bakes fast. Maximum 10 seconds, you'll see it's out of the oven and there's already matcha to eat for the seyranite. Production has been going strong, despite the Russian invasion. This would be unthinkable in previous generations. The city's chief rabbi, Levi Yitzhak Schneerson, was arrested and exiled in 1939 for providing matcha for the region's Jews. But since the fall of the Soviet Union, Dnepro now has the most Jews per capita of any city in Ukraine. The massive seven-branched Menorah Center and surrounding neighborhood has become a hub for war relief efforts. Russia has targeted Ukrainian missiles on the outskirts of the city, and Dnepro's airport was recently attacked. They don't have time to be afraid. They're very busy with saving lives, evacuations, humanitarian aid, making sure they get whatever they need in medicines and food and really saving lives 24-7. There's no time to be afraid. There's no time to think about it. Rabbi Stamblar, a member of the Chabad Hasidic movement, takes pride in contributing to this renaissance with Matzah made the old-fashioned way. The constant supervision and labor makes Shmora Matzah three to six times more expensive than machine made. Even though the biggest shipments left Ukraine earlier this year, the bakery exports right up until the Passover holiday. Ukraine normally exports about 70 tons of matzah each year. But war is getting in the way. Rabbi Stombler said he had two containers full of matzah temporarily stuck at the ports in late February. Two hours before the boat was supposed to leave, the world broke out. We released them, but it was too late to send them to the States. Some of them stayed over here. Some of them we managed to ship to the UK. This kind of handmade matzah nearly disappeared after World War II, when mass produced ones became more affordable. It was the son of the same rabbi arrested in D'Inepro who revived it in the 1950s. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson was living in Brooklyn when he launched a campaign to distribute Shmora Matzah to Jewish families. And the number of people who eat Shmora Matzah continues to expand. America produced one million pounds of Shmora Matzah in 2017 and the market has grown 30% since then. But handmade matzah makes up just a third of all matzahs sold in the United States. Mass-produced ones make up the bulk of the $110 million industry. Strights is the last large family-owned matzah producer in the U.S. The company managed to stay afloat, but it had to relocate to this facility in Orangeburg, New York, in 2017, after running a factory in Manhattan for nearly a century. The last day leaving the factory was a very sad day. We stayed probably longer than we should have, just out of nostalgia. That's Aaron Gross, the great, great grandson of the company's founder, Aaron Stripe. Although the machines have been upgraded, he still uses the same recipe. We're going to say it's about 200 pounds of flour, 70 to 80 pounds of water, depending on, you know, humidity in the air. My name is David Marvin. I work upstairs in the mixing room. Just like at the handmade bakery, workers here have to beat the clock. The dough drops through a hopper to the floor below. Kosher laws require that the bowls be cleaned in between each batch. Yeah, just order. Just like in Ukraine, everyone who handles the dough from here is an observant Jew. During the run-up to Passover, there are eight full-time rabbis at this facility, and some of the staff have worked here for decades. Michael's worked here for six years. Oh, no, 33 years. When something goes wrong, he springs into action. Quarter pound more water in a bit. He's like, no, no, he definitely does. This machine called a rattler adds a bunch of little holes. So it's not like a lavash or a flatbread, then it cuts it in six rows. This belt here spreads it and then it gets cut again and put into the oven. For about nine or about 10 minutes into the process and it's dropping into the oven right here. And it's going to cook for about a minute and a half, 740 degrees. The finished matzah comes out the other side. At the Rivington Street factory, workers used to load the matzah by hand onto conveyor belts as it came out of the oven. But here, robotic arms get the sheets into boxes and out the door, just in time for the Passover holiday. So why go through all this trouble for a cracker? They say most family businesses I think by the third generation the third generation and usually screws it up I'm fifth. So I think we got past hopefully got past that hump. It's a beautiful business It's a very niche unique business And is there room at the Seder table for both types of matzo? We started as a hand bakery on pit street, right? So I think the more people that are Observing pass over and are celebrating the holiday though. We all you know grow together know he didn't want to know about the monsters in New York, but what do you think they did that for? What do you think it was for? What do you think they did that was certainly so touching. You know, the rabbi was there in Ukraine. I've seen those commercials. The poor woman can't afford Martha. So we have to send the money from America to get Martha, but they make the monster there. And it's like, it may not be like the number one monster provider for the world, but it does two thirds of the US's monster supply. Right. So they can't give some secondhand monster or you know, some second monster that's not quite right. The poor Jewish woman living out in the street. Which in the end, you know what I'm talking about, Ed, the ads sound like constantly. But here's the thing, she watches the crime shows, you know, and it's like it always comes under the crime shows. And here's the thing, okay, it's like I said, wait a minute, we're going to send money over there while you're sending monsters over here, but you have the monsters you're making right there. Listen, Blatsonstein, what are you doing? Well, shh. I needed another golden toilet fixture for my 14th bathroom on the second wing of my mansion in Haifa. Listen, the schmucks will send us money. We show the little lady in the bedroom, and I'll tell you, the cash just comes. I'm telling you. But at this point in time, why throw that out there in front of everybody? Well, cuz look, Lamatza business alone is enough of a reason for America to send all of our non-Jewish troops over there to go to war. Do you see that? The risk, man. The thing, man. You know that thing. Look, the Israeli mafia. Granted, I know you're really going over there to protect the 30 biological weapons labs. Well, wait a minute. The Russians got a bunch of those. So we still got 15 or 14 of those major weapons, biological research facilities that need to be protected. And you go, you need to go over there and die in the Ukraine for the matzah factory and all those rabbis, you know, they'd be in trouble if you don't go over there. And look, there's a connection. You have Jewish mafia over here. They're making mops, matzahs here too. They make monsters there, they make monsters here, and look, they even got stuck on the dock for the day or two. I'm telling you, you don't understand why you need to go kill people over in the Ukraine. We'll show you. We'll have all the soft propaganda we can like this. Oi! Good call. This guy, have you ever seen a matzah? Have you ever tasted one? Listen, it's like they're trying to kill you. It's like you have styrofoam in your mouth. I'm telling you, you'll take a bite, you're chewing on it. It's horrible. I do actually, I've eaten matzah. I mean, guys, it is the most bland. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with it. I mean, I would consider this. The Jewish mafia is probably not poisoning their own. And matzahs are about as neutral and plain as you could get. So if you wanted to eat something that, well, first of all, the rabbi got bla- he blasted, that's- that is critical for us. But they made sure they got the shekels for it, they got, you know, the rabbi gets a- gets paid. He didn't come out there and bless that stuff for free. You do know that, right guys? Listen, you're dealing with Jewish people. When the rabbi shows up, he has his hand sticking out behind him where the wallet is, and he has it laying on a palm open, and a little envelope better show up. There ain't gonna be no blessing of any of this stuff here real quick if I don't see the envelope. Where's the envelope? Okay. Oh, look, there's a blast. Goodbye. Seriously. But otherwise, the monsters, they're nothing but heat. Now, we did a lot of Christian churches use them for communion for the suffer. My question would be if these poor victimized Ukrainian Jew old women can't get matzas, how come some of the Billionaire, trillionaire Jews over in Israel can't get that money to them or buy them the matzah since they're of the same tribe. I was going to ask that question. Yeah, why do they have to go to the Gentiles to get the matzah? We don't even have to go that far. Well, how about the billionaire president? I'd say he that hope I can help out the first of all, there aren't okay. The Jews are an absolute tiny tiny tiny minority, but they're 100% running the government, which means whatever Jewish enclaves are out there, which have come in as part of the, you know, again, the kazarian empire thing. Like this one here, like I said, long, he got a nice little colony, right in the middle. It's like back when we killed all of the goyim in the thirties, when the, you know, in the twenties and thirties, when the Jewish mob took over in the Ukraine, like they are now. And, you know, they, they, they starved all the farmers to death. They marched them off to Siberia. Then they marched them back. Oh, I'm telling you. And now they've got control again. Don't say anything because my uncle will tell you they killed almost all of us off there. They're they're bastards They will use anyone to kill you Which is really the truth about the Ukraine. Let's not forget what happened near the holodrama guys piss on that whole Holy hoax garbage that BS that they feed you in the public fool system go look up what happened to the Ukrainians at the hands of the Jewish mob Would you do that? It's like hmm, really? I don't feel it. Oh my goodness one and this was in the middle of like the mix with about four or five other kosher mafia type old look little violins This is why we need to go to war in the Ukraine. Look they had they thought they're so cool They're doing matzas. You may not you know, you may not be eating them but important people are This is why you need to go to war in the Ukraine because look at those matzas And don't forget that little Babushka woman, who by the way, the billionaire president couldn't get Motsa's to. He's too busy sucking in more of the gravy off the country he's been stealing from. Kovarysh Grobotny Zulinski, Kamisar, has he gotten his lukor yet? Oh, yes, I've dropped him a few more buckets of cash over there by the president's door. He will see it when he comes out, don't worry. He will give us what we want. I want to steal the rest of the- small arms ammunition that we have been pilfering for six, seven years. Well, what do we need that if there's a war? Don't worry. We get to go in to pay for everything. Besides, they will get their ass shot off for not having him. It won't be us. Right. By the way, $2.5 billion being sent over there and nobody knows where it went. Nobody knows where all these weapons are that they sent over there or if they've been purchased or anything. Nobody knows and they want to do another half a billion. I think we'll wait a minute. Let's stop that right there. Who knows? We know but there's claims to not know. I wonder where the money went. Hey wait a minute. President's got a new limo. Yeah, he's got three of them. He got Alexis. That's a low end. He decided to pick up a Benz, you know, that was kind of cool. And not only that, but he placate the British, he even got a roll. So I'm telling you, he's covering all the bases and the Schmucks will give him more money. I'm telling you. Oi, gevalt. So, yeah, anyway, that was just an example of, well, again, the one that comes to mind, Ed knows, because you've seen it, if you're all around the country, guys, say, wherever they know there's money, they've got the little babushka woman you need to send matzahs to in the Ukraine. Well, I don't know why, if they told you right here, you got this big Jewish enclave. Don't they know where all the other Jewish people are? Aren't they taking care of their little old ladies? What the hell happened to that group? Oh, wait a minute, that's the way they are. Oh, that's right, yeah. So anyway, just a heads up. And again, an example of what's really going on with Ukraine. The Jewish mob has a bunch of their clandestine, both overt and covert sickness going on there. And you and I are supposed to just have no pedal on over there and die for the cause. Cause? Well, no real cause whatsoever, other than the fact that, well, they need to get in the way of those bullets. That way they can smuggle as much of the dope out as they can, especially from the murder death kill labs. And they probably got a whole bunch of caged kids that they had to get to market right next to those matzas. The matzas, let's see which one is more important, the matzas or the caged kids that we were selling to the petals. The caged kids are making more money. I think we should ship them for you, the matzas. We'll send them to England. I'll check, let me check my schedule, I'm telling you. It's okay. So, again, other things going on real quick. On that note, by the way, somebody was asking me, I had an email last night, I didn't get to it during the program too. Well, what happened to all the Ukrainian ammo? Well, I said this before, do you guys remember what all the Ukrainian ammo popped in about a year ago? And a year and a half ago, go back, wait, can't really, might find it in the scroll, go to classic firearms, go into their ammunition. go back through, go 7.62 by 39 for the AK, and go back through all of their out of stock items. Because one thing that Classic Firearms does is they've got a big long history within the assumption that maybe that stuff will come back. There's only a handful of pages like that I've found where they retain a product. They're not the only ones, but usually if it doesn't come back in a year, they dump it completely. But Classic Firearms has got a lot of stuff listed. that they simply haven't had for a while. Go back and look at the 762 by 39 Ukrainian ammunition. And again, remember what we said, I asked this at the time, I said, well, come on, Ukraine has got that war going on over in the Eastern provinces. Why would they be dumping ammunition? Remember, and it didn't make any sense because for seven, eight years, they've been in revolt. And they've been fighting nonstop. So one way or another, you're forward fighting forces. And by the way, Ukrainians have not dumped anything. Anybody see the videos where they're talking about all of the older weapons that both sides have fielded, most of the Ukrainians? Guys, they pulled Maxim machine guns. Everybody goes, well, you're stupid because we have, those Russians have old guns. Guys. They pulled out Maxim machine guns and were issuing them to the Ukrainian army. Oh, they're deadly. They're still in service. The one thing I had to laugh about is, well, we have the old dashika, you know, in the, you know, 12.5, 12.7 gun. And it's like, yeah, well, that's like our Browning M2. Why would they not be shielding that weapon? They've got them on the roof of most every one of their tanks on both sides, okay? But there's a lot of other weapons, for instance, they were yapping about the, like the Nagants. Well, we've seen this for the whole period of the eight year war, eight year conflict, call it a war, it really is, they're killing each other. Everybody's got Nagants in service and everybody even has Tokarev rifles, which by the way are showing up right now. Now guys, that's purely a World War II production weapon, mostly made between, well, depending which token of it is, between 39, well 38, 39, 40, 41, 42. A lot of those got sold into the surplus market, but obviously a whole lot more got put in tactical reserve, and they're carrying those over there. You mean the Russians? No, no, no, the Ukrainians. Also, the Pepe is showing up, Pepe 41, Pepe 43. None of those weapons are obsolete. I'd carry that gun. In fact, to be quite honest, as I've said, remember, to help you to understand what Uncle Mark's talking about, it's Weapons Wednesday. Go over to CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com. Go pull up gun parts kits. There's not just AR-15 kits there. There are some machine gun kits there. There are, you know, like automatic rifle kits. There are belt fed gun kits. If you go to apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com. Now I will point out again, if you've seen any of these kits, the guns that the poles and the checks have been cutting up are virtually brand new unissued weapons. Now guys, the Pepish, the PPS-41 or the PPS-43, the Pepish-43, none of those weapons are truly obsolete. That Tokarev round will penetrate a lot of things that other pistol rounds won't, number one. Number two, it's built like a brick doghouse. And since in many cases, these guns were never issued. They are virtually new firearms. They're old new inventory old and they're built like a they're heavy. They're built out of steel Okay, they're not plastic So I left my ass off when you have these idiot sticks parroting the well, it's an old gun Well, tell you what like my brother used to say if you don't think this works You stand over there on the well house and I'll take a few rounds up plug a few rounds at you Let's see if it works or not. So the peppy ish the only reason that these guns are destroyed Normally, they'd still be in the inventory, but Poland bought into the UN Small Arms Treaty. Czechoslovakia bought into the UN Small Arms Treaty. So when they did to get cash back from the United States, cuz we paid for a lot of that crap, they get Luker from us for cutting up their guns. This is also what was going on with Ukraine. Ukraine was doing the same thing because they were trying to conform to the UN Small Arms Treaty so they could get into the EU and get into NATO. In the process, they confiscated guns, they confiscated ammunition, they put their own people in jail for owning guns. And then on top of that, they also, that's right, they started destroying their tactical reserve inventory. That's where a bunch of these AK kits come from. They're either like Yugoslavia does the same thing. Well, it's not really Yugoslavia, but the end user originally came from Yugoslavian military. But these rent a revolution companies that I've told you about many, many times, they market these guns out. But when there's such a glut, when they can't get $11 a gun, there are like $50 a gun. They don't really feel that they're, they don't wanna undercut their market for the higher price guns. They wanna keep the market high. So however they can find where they get money in other ways, well guess what? Working with the Czech government, the Czechs and the Slovaks got cash from the US slash UN to destroy their own weapons. That's where those Czech submachine guns come from. Now here's what's interesting about this, and I've mentioned this many times. While many of those guns have been destroyed, a whole bunch of them got slid sideways, and you will find every weapon you see in that parts kit section at center fire. Those guns are all presently in service in Syria. Those guns are all presently in service with the Kurds. Those guns are in all over Africa, but mostly like in the Mediterranean, like where you've got conflict going on with Algeria, etc. Well, Algeria, that's right across the water, guys. That's literally just go north and Italy's right there. So delivery time is minimal and the Italian Runner Revolution companies with a wink and a nod to get cash for the Italian government are more than happy to, rather than cut the guns up for a chump change, they're turning around and boxing stuff up and shipping itself now because they realize that the UN scam isn't worth the cash capital that they can get for the actual finished product firearm and its ammunition and the spare parts inventory. That's the other half of the game. Remember, ain't the razor, it's the blades. Think about it, you gotta fix that gun. Well, hell, we'll sell you spare parts. At a price. See how that works? So anyway, now here again, don't be a Ukrainian, buy ammo. Buy ammo, buy mags, buy more weapons, buy ammo, and then buy more ammo. I think a lot of Americans are voting with their wallet, and as I've said, specific calibers, 30 out of 6 for instance, is just absolutely being eaten up. The problem is it's also not being produced and many of the other calibers that you normally would have expected to see replaced haven't been because quietly all these ammo companies are screwing all of us. All they're working at production capacity, they're just not building for you. That's how it works. That's what's really happening. So they're doing the old kosher Do you believe in human rights and they look right at the camera and go? Oh, yeah, I believe in rights for all human beings That's right, what's the way but when he said that he wasn't lying He's got a wicked grin and you look right at the camera because his logic is you go him We'll never figure out what he said If he doesn't consider you human, you don't deserve any rights and they don't consider you human. So now they don't care about you. But for the humans that they remember for them, it's the Jewish mob. They're the humans you're not. So always understand semantics and the health of semantics and void play. I'm telling you, void play. Well, we're doing the tongue in cheek thing and you never catch on. Boy, just the way it works. So anyway, couple of things here real quick. I found something interesting, attention, attention, attention. I want you to go over to gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com. When you get over there, this fell out of the wall. I don't know how I missed these. Actually, I think they did just come in. They have not had these, I keep an eye on gun parts court. They have two different AK-47 night vision devices. First generation Warsaw Pact production era in the cans, I believe both of them are Polish. They are again first generation AK night scopes, they are complete. I know some people have already picked them up to say that they run like a rape date. But there are, now I want to say 275, but slap mark in the microphone and somebody can do me a favor. When you go over to Gun Parts Corp, go over to the surplus section line up there. When you get in that, you got to go to the, you can either punch in a night vision search, night vision, you know, AK-47 night vision or night vision. But if you go through and you're, if you do a line by line search or page by page, it's over in the miscellaneous surplus. It's not with all the other optics and everything, which I thought was rather interesting. But they have two models. They are complete. They have the transport cans, all the manuals, everything is supposed to come with them. I believe it even has the individual. covers, arpechers, everything you need to do pretty much anything you want to change the site out to use it either on the RPK, the AK, and other weapon systems, which by the way, can be mounted also on belt-fed guns. but uses a standard Russian side plate slide mount like you see on the SPD. Yes, it would probably mount on the SPD. It should be able to. The reticles for all of the different types of guns are in a little kit with the scope, with these night vision scopes. So if you want to check them out, double check the price. I caught them in passing and I didn't have time to really sit down and go through everything on them, but they're over at gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com. Go over to the miscellaneous or do a search for night vision devices and see what pops up. They may also have one of the other headset systems, the one that was out before that was from the Czech Republic. And again, this is the tanker model. Whether or not that one's in stock, I don't know, but the other two are in stock. They show them available. I actually did check that. I want to see if I can put them in my cart. So another interesting little project sidebar for you. Considering the price of digital and the others, this is the up and down balance on this. The big thing is these are regular green screen and they are first generation, so they're first gen green screen tubes. Remember that even if you didn't necessarily keep using that whole system the way it is, in the long haul, building another more advanced night vision device, the tubes on board are what really would be worth the money. think about because you really can't get first-gen tubes without buying a mass quantity of them. And we've already got a research project, well I can say much more. We are we're working on a night mission production project right now. I can't say that. It's actually in motion and what we're looking at we were overlapping with a digital surplus market product to convert and the other thing is we're looking for first generation tubes. If we get the first generation tubes we want, we have all the technology in Michigan with old earth personnel that are helping us that we can put a second generation night vision device together. But first gen tubes are what's needed. So that's happening right now. In fact, I've been looking for, well, we're actually looking at the price for casting the bodies. Something done, we walked through this years ago, we were actually discussing it, but is an up-down price thing. Right now we're looking at war production issues. And if we can build a reasonably priced, standard, simple night vision device that we can throw on any and every weapon we have and cut the cost to the level that we probably will be able to, at least with digital. We will basically make the same model, but it will be both with digital and with conventional green screen. The basic body will be the same. So again, remember guys, one of the things about fielding equipment is brain transfer idea time. If you have to re-engineer your thoughts to work a system, it retards your response time, okay? If you're building something, the idea is to make everything as copacetic from one design to the next, so there's no thought process with use. Let me give you an example. We got a few minutes here. In the beginning of World War II, we had about 20 different firearms in service, okay, that were small arms, shoulder or hand held, okay? Shoulder fired as in rifle, automatic weapon, whatever. We had at least nine different sighting systems. And I pointed this out that one of the things that the Ordnance Department decided is let's start changing this. And so you'll notice that if you look at the Thompson, the 1903 A3 Springfield, the M1 Garand, the BAR, M1 Carbine, all of them have the same basic post, you know, peep sight, barley corn, sighting system, even though you move from one totally different weapon to the next. Now that wasn't accidental, that was intentional. So at the very least, even if you had no time on the weapon, Let's say you just had to pick Bob some machine gun up because he just died. Well, it wouldn't be any big deal for you to get site alignment going, even though you might not get point of impact right with the first few rounds perfectly. At least you're a lot closer in the ballpark when it comes to putting that site onto a target, pulling the trigger and stippling it with some kind of projectile. The same is true with optics. I've mentioned this before. When we talked about rebuilding, you know, giveaway guns, stuff that I've gotten for free. I use a nine power base scope on almost everything. Why? Well, first of all, I want to be simple. I don't want any adjustment. I want you to have to fiddle fire with anything. You figure out by Kentucky windage to a degree where you've got to change and point that reticle, you know, work it to get it done. Simplest design possible. But the other thing, is when you move from one gun to the next, they're all basically the same weapon with variations on the receiver because one or two more masses, the other one's a Swedish Mauser. But by the time I was done tweaking these, they're all basically the same weapon. So when you bring it to your shoulder and you look through the optics, you're seeing the same basic image over and over and over again. The advantage of this is that you then have to simply compensate for variances in point of impact depending upon what the gun is chambered in. And because most of them are World War II era, World War I, World War II era firearms. The basic idea or concept of the type of cartridge used were pretty much in the same school. A 6.5 Swedish Mauser is a much flatter shooting round at short to intermediate range and can still reach pretty much as far as say a 30 on 6. Now will the performance be the same with energy on target? Not necessarily. 8mm Mauser, 7mm Mauser, 303 British, 7.62x54R, 30.06. Take your pick. Again, the 6.5 JAP, 7.7 JAP. These rounds all basically perform within a very narrow area of activity that isn't all that great from one to the next. The light and the loafers variants are the 6.5 Carcano, the 6.5 Sween, the 6.5 Jap, which still had tremendous intermediate performance for what would be considered the average brush cutting range of a rifle for that period. Now, on the upper end, 30-06, 7.62x54R, 7.92x57Mouser, and 303British, all are in the upper end with regard to their performance, a combination of bullet weight, propellant availability, point of impact, and expected average contact range. So they're still almost in the ballpark together. Now granted, I also mentioned like, hey, you know, I've got, I've rebuilt 30-30 Winchester Stevens guns, bolt action with 30-30. Then it got for nothing, horrible. They were rusted. The rusted surface was horrific. The guy goes, well, you can't do anything with that. Next time he saw it and tell him what the gun was, they say it looks pretty cool, doesn't it? Tactified the stock, stripped everything down, cleaned everything up, re-parkerized everything because we had a phosphate shop down the road. And when you saw the gun the next time it looked like some army's idea of tactifying whatever the weapon was. Well, it was a Stevens, it was never a military gun. But rounded out the buttstock, cleaned it up, took all the dents and dings out of it. Flattened that with linseed oil, put a nine power burr scope on the roof and it looked kick ass, looks cool. But now that it looks cool, the thing prints like it's supposed to. But if you grab that rifle, even though that Stevens is a totally different weapon from any of the other military arms are mentioning, basically the rubber baby buggy bumper dollar recoil pad I put on each one of those guns is identical. Shoulder and stock cheek weld is approximately the same. And again, it's minimal time to turn around. You hand the guy the rifle and he's going to be able to adjust to it very quickly. The same is true when you're building optics or you're adopting optics. Remember, if you go from one reticle configuration to another, you have to start using that. I mean, granted, you should be able to use your brain. But remember that in many cases, we're talking about minimal shift time because it's OJT, you know, battlefield situation. So we want to minimize that. That's one of the things that always needs to be in the back of your head. If you're building weapons right now for your team, whatever your guru adopts, everybody, if you're serious about it, should try to embrace if you're not going to listen to anybody else but that person. Follow through and make sure that there's consistency there. If I have to pick up Bob's rifle because Bob's fallen and my gun isn't working because something happened, I can pick up Bob's weapon and pretty well you know, put bullets on target and being them before they come up and finish Bob off and me too. So that's one of the things that should always be in your design group concept inventory of things to remember. Okay. Anyway, the advantage of the IDB, no, another thing real quick before I forget the Russian, uh, the Russian units are for, give me the Polish night vision that's over at gun parts, corp.com. Those will take a AA battery pack and there are a couple of interesting videos out there on some other adaptive processes. Basically what I would look at is something I've talked about before, going over to a AA battery pack but also going over to rechargeable, remember. You're going to get about the same life out of the battery, which you can keep reusing it over and over and over again. However, the cool thing about AA battery packs is I can always use those Dollar Tree Jeepies if I have to. Whatever AA battery I find, it's out there laying around. So that is a very, very nice solution to a problem. And again, don't forget, if you've got all the rest of that technology out there, you've got one, two, three batteries. I know that's a communications Tuesday kind of thing, but it overlaps because in this case, night vision, a lot of them are one, two, three batteries. You need to be investing in those. If you're going to commit to... I believe Craig online with us. Craig, we got you. Yeah. Yeah, I can hear you. I apologize man. I got it. I'm gonna do that on air too. I've got so much stuff going on here I actually lost track of what day it was even though I just was doing the intelligence for what this Wednesday it went right over my head man I apologize. I am sorry that happened. I usually check in with you before the program. All right. Let's go boy And I did check in before the program as well. I know I just did okay Okay, well if anybody's listening there you're welcome call in I have kind of a different topic today Because I don't really have anything prepared, but I've been doing a lot of research in the last couple weeks Regarding this is gonna be sound a little off the wall I guess out of left field but a lot of you probably have this problem and I learned some things that are very interesting that I'm gonna need to Change about what the way I deal with small engines Especially two-stroke engines My brother passed away last October and I inherited a whole bunch of engines various power equipment chainsaws trimmers hedge trimmers weed crackers Power washers lawnmowers all sorts of stuff. I think probably Close to 20 engines and my brother had lost his leg About a year before he died and he wasn't really using any of them anymore And so they were all just kind of sitting there. And as you can imagine, bad gas and all of them pretty much none of them really started very well. I did get a couple of them. I haven't tried them all. There's so many. I just started working on a few of them. So when I started doing a lot of research about this and how to fix them, I did start taking some of them into various mechanic people that I know and. And the story is always the same. And this is something you probably encountered as well. If you have any small engines, and I'm not talking about your car engine here in the Lewis program. I'm talking about small engines and lawn mowers or chainsaws, two-stroke pillars, whatever. Two-stroke and four-stroke small engines, and they generally have carburetors. Remember carburetors? So this is what I'm going to be talking about and what I learned about fuels and additives and ethanol and all the different types of things that cause our engines to fail these days. The Greeny liberals decided they wanted to try to put corn in our fuel by making ethanol and it just led to one disaster led to another. Not only do we get less fuel economy with our ethanol fuels, let me back up a little bit. When you go into the gas station and you fill up your car, your truck, whatever, and you probably noticed there's ethanol in them. Usually there'll be a sticker on the side of the pump that says contains up to 10% ethanol. And this is a standard and below. There's also the E85 stuff, which is mostly ethanol. But this is an alcohol-based product that they're adding to the fuel that supposedly, well, The greenies claim all sorts of things better for the environment and it's really not because frankly, if you have to burn more of it to get the same, go the same distance and if you have to allow your old engines because they don't run on the stuff anymore, or just too expensive to fix them, how is that greener? Okay, so what I'm talking about here is ethanol and fuels and the danger of using them in small engines. Again, I'm not talking about your car again. This is for your small engines, especially two-stroke engines. The alcohol in the fuel actually hampers the ability of the machine to do its job, especially in the respect of water that does get into the fuel. any vehicle of any type, any engine of any type, any gas tank, any type of system, delivery system of fuel, fuel lines, the carburetor, injectors, everything is subjected to moisture being brought into the system. Less is 100% seal system, which there's breathers, there's all sorts of things. So you will get some moisture in, no matter how careful you are, into your system. And what happens when you do that with these small engines, and you have ethanol fuel. By ethanol, again, I'm talking about the basic 10% blend, the 10% ethanol blend. This is what I'm talking about here. There's a way to test it, and there's a way you can make your own. I'm going to try to go over all that, what I learned over the past couple weeks researching all this, because all these engines that I got, and I'm going to end up selling most everything, because I don't really need all that. I mean, I've got three power washers. Three power washers. Rotate tillers, I got like three chainsaws, four lawnmowers, edgers, all these little small engines that need to be maintained and kept running. And the problem really is today, the greenies have turned our fuel into something toxic to our small engines. That's the bottom line. When water gets into this fuel that has this 10% ethanol in it, it combines with the ethanol and goes to the bottom of your tank, your tank and or your carburetor primarily, and it creates corrosion inside the tank or the carburetor and it combines with the water combines with the alcohol and it's you basically have it sitting in the bottom of your tank and your engine refuses to start. Now one rudimentary thing you can do very quickly if you suspect this especially on the carburetor type system. Most of them have a little plug on the bottom of the bowl, the carburetor bowl. I'm hoping that this is, I'm going with the basic understanding, hoping that you have the basic understanding of what I'm talking about. When I say a carburetor, when I say fuel line or fuel filter or carburetor bowl, I'm presuming most of you have that basic general knowledge. I don't want to be talking over you, and probably none of you are mechanics, or very few of you are mechanics. But if you never have a small engine, you have to learn a few little things to be able to get the damn thing to work sometimes. And with the new fuels we have today, with the ethanol in them, it makes it a lot worse. The bottom line before I go much farther is, attitudes don't really work. And I'm going to talk about that a little more in depth. Attitudes that claim to take the water out or to combine with the ethanol to make it better for your engine or whatever, corrosion inhibitors and all this stuff, they don't really work. Okay, that's a disappointment for a lot of people, at least for this purpose. We talk about them for other purposes too. You really want to go and find straight gasoline like they used to make back in the day. And where can you find that? Well, Even if there's a lot of gas stations still do have it. You do have to hunt around for it a little bit. Now I found a website that you want to write this down because it has a list from state by state and you can find out how far you have to travel to get some gasoline that has happened all free. And the name of the website, I'm going to repeat this later and then if you can't write it down at the moment, pure-gas.org. Pure-Gas.org. It's a website where you can look, and I was surprised when I looked up where the area, and I don't have to go very far. Some people talk about having to go an hour distance from where they are, two hours distance. It really depends on what you have in your area. Every region is going to be a little different, but probably you're going to find that you're going to have some gas stations that do have ethanol-free fuel. that you can buy and put in your gas cans using your small engines. So the bottom line is you want to use ethanol fuel, free fuel in these small engines. And you want to try to get rid of the ethanol that's in there now, and you may have to take off the bowl of your carburetor. You might have to do some cleaning to get the damn stuff out and to clear it up because you might find there's jelly in your carburetor bowl. Because that's what happens. It goes to the bottom of the bowl, this mixed mixture of ethanol and water, because literally the ethanol mixes with the water. And after a period of time, especially if the engine has not been running a long time, it sits in the bottom of the bowl and it creates like a jelly, like a gel, like a crud. And it can corrode the components of your fuel system. What I've been finding is I open up a lot of these things and I find this jelly-like substance in the bottom of the car and it plugs everything up. It's the ethanol mixing with the water. You're better off having just a little bit of water mixed with the gasoline. The water goes to the bottom, but in the case of gasoline, any moisture that gets in there, it goes right straight to the bottom of either the tank or that carburetor bowl. And it depends on how the carburetor bowl is situated. Usually a carburetor bowl is situated in the down position for whatever machine you have. If the machine is in the normal upright position, usually the carburetor bowl is at the bottom. And usually this little plug, little screw, sometimes it's a thumb screw even, or a small wrench that you take and you can actually drain a little bit of... Cut out of the bottom and what you want to see is gasoline come up But you might see a little bit of water come out first and that's good You're getting the water because the water will sink to the bottom of the gasoline bowl Now some of the two-stroke engines like chainsaws They don't have the same sort of setup. It's gonna be a lot harder to do that But you could also use the prime pump and it's not really a prime pump. It's it's actually for two stroke. It's actually called a I'd call it something else. You may think of it as a prime pump. The prime pump is a little rubber bulb you press to hit two or three times before you start it. In a two-stroke engine, that's a little different. It's not really a prime. It actually circulates the fuel from the tank through the carburetor and back to the tank again. It doesn't really prime it in a two-stroke. But a four-stroke you do. You hit the bulb, usually they'll say two or three times, four times, whatever, and that is a prime. But anyway, a little technical difference there. It's not really a prime ball, but a two-stroke, but it does think it moves gasoline. When you push that little rubber ball, and if that ball was cracked, or if it's too stiff or something, you have to start replacing stuff like that. It's been old. So how many of us have been there? Up here in the north, where I'm at, lawnmowers sit for five months or so. You go back and try to start it up, and it may not start. Or chainsaws, they sit put away for a long period of time, and then you need them, and then they won't start. A lot of these small engines that we have, or little devices we have, they sit for a long period of time. And this ethanol gas, this gas with esphenol in it that you get from the pump, literally only lasts about 60 to 90 days these days. That's all you can really depend on, out of it's from storage. Used to be we can store gas for like a year and still be able to start the thing up. But no, not with this ethanol crap. It starts mixing with the water and becomes a gel and then it plugs everything up in your carburetor. And your fuel lines, fuel filtered, everything else. So, uh, get... If you ever are a little bit mechanically inclined, I did a lot of research, a lot of looking. And there's not really anything, you know, you could talk about adding seat foam or mystery boil or whatever. There's all sorts of things come out and all these things you can add to your fuel to try to alleviate this problem do not really work for this particular problem. Now some of these additives can do some other things, but as far as fixing the ethanol problem, they will not do it. I know a lot of people are going to swear by whatever they have and they, oh yeah, no, this does and stuff. No, it doesn't. I've watched a whole lot of people who tested these things online and videos and there's really some really good videos where people have tested. One guy took 10 engines, brand new engines, 10 brand new engines, exact same engine, and used 10 different types of fuel in them with different additives. And over a period of like a year and a half, two years, he goes through and you start trying to starting them every month. for the next two years basically. And essentially what he finds is none of the additives work when using that ethanol fuel. This is the biggest killer of our engines today. If you have an engine that doesn't start, I've seen a lot of other videos from small engine mechanics basically saying probably 90% of the time it's fuel problems. That's because of ethanol fuel. We didn't bat an eye and think anything of it when we had fuel to our stuff before, back when I was younger. Now this has been going on for a while. How long has this been all stuff? It's been a while now, and I'm showing my age here, but it used to be we didn't have it. It used to have lead and gas in that. But now with this ethanol in it, it's destroying our small engines. So these engines end up ending up in a landfill, and how's that good for the environment? You greeny liberals out there. So pure gas org where you can find ethanol free gas stations in the USA and Canada US and Canada pure gas org And they're not telling you anything. So this is and it's good information and you can correct it. It's one of these websites where you can Correct the information or add information if you find there's others now, there's a test kit and I ended up buying one of these little things They did you're not that expensive But you don't really need a test kit, you can do this yourself. There's a little test kit you can buy. There's a little test tube, a little glass tube, and you put a little bit of water in the bottom of it. Usually, depending on the size of the test tube, there's a formula. You can do it without the test tube. You can do it without... this particular device, but it has all the measurements on it to tell you exactly how much ethanol is in the gasoline. So you put a little bit of water in the bottom of this thing, then you pour gasoline, pour it up to the line, then you pour gasoline up to the next line, and the water stays at the bottom. Then you put the cap on this little test tube thingy, glass tube, and you shake it up, give it all agitatingly good, and then let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then you look, and what you'll find is, if the fuel had ethanol in it, the water level There's a definite line you can see between the level of the gasoline and where the gasoline and the water meet. That will actually have raised. The water level will have raised, or at least what looks like water. The water level will have raised. And depending on how much that water level raises, and depending on the gradient to the scale of the test tube, this little test kit, shows exactly the percentage of ethanol in the fuel. If you were to put pure gas in there, that didn't have ethanol in it. You shake it up and wait 10 minutes. The water level will be exactly the same. But it has any ethanol in it. That water level rises. Now I'm calling it water, but it's actually now the ethanol mixing with the water is what it is. And the E85 stuff, it'll raise hardly any fuel in it, any gasoline, put it that way. So, and you can do this, you go online and start looking. If you get anything with any kind of gradients, you can measure this. But even if you just take a clear glass tube. You can use plastic too. You can use a plastic water bottle if you want. Pour a little bit of water in the bottom and then put a mark where your water level is. With a Sharpie pan or something, mark the bottle. Then pour your gasoline on top and shake it up real good. And then let it sit for 10 minutes and watch and see if that raises any. If it raises any at all, that means there's some ethanol in that fuel. Ethanol is the killer here. We're trying to get rid of this for our small engines. Again, I'm not talking about car engines here. Car engines are designed to run off of this stuff, but these small engines are really having a hard time with it and carburetor system. It's probably not a good thing to have them in our cars either, but these new modern cars are designed to run off of stuff. So that's one way you can check. And you can actually make your own in that method. Okay, now what happens is the ethanol is combining with the gas with the water and it's settling to the bottom. And there's still a definite line you can see between where the ethanol and water mixture ends and the gasoline starts. It still separates, it still sinks to the bottom. And you can also find videos on YouTube or information on the internet where you can make your own ethanol-free gas using this method. It's going to sound weird, but you take your gas can and you're much better off doing it in some kind of clear bottle. Let's say a 2-liter pot bottle if you want. Let's say that for now. You want something bigger and clear, put gasoline in it, and then put some water in it. And all that sounds bizarre, but you put some water in it and it'll sink to the bottom and then you agitate it, put the lid on it and agitate it and it'll sink to the bottom. Then what you do is turn it upside down to where the filler, when you put the cap on it, turn it upside down where the cap is on the bottom now. And you either poke a hole in the cap if you want to just pop out, you can destroy the cap if you want, or you can put some sort of valve on there where you drain off that mixture, that clear mixture at the bottom that's not the yellowish color of the gas. You can see, you'll definitely see. And then when all that's gone, and you let it sit for a while, you let it sit, you're better off waiting for like overnight. Let it sit like that upside down, drain off the... the bottom ethanol mixture, water mixture, and then you have, and then when the gas starts flowing, when it's pure gas, when the water's all gone, then you have pure gasoline, ethanol-free gasoline. So you can make your own, you can't find it. But it's a lot of work. New York Way is just a good global gas station that has it. And again, pure-gas.org. That's where you need to go to find ethanol-free gas in your state, either US or Canada. And they're all over the place. There's hundreds of listings. Maybe thousands. I don't know. I only look for my area, but it's listed by state. Let me go. Let me see here. British Columbia, Ontario, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada. Canada is represented here too, and all the states listed here. DC is not listed. The district of criminals. But it looks like every state here is represented. So pure-gas.org. If you do nothing else, do at least that. Now, what you have in your little machine right now, whether it be a sun blower or a writing door or whatever, unless you're sure that you've only added ethanol-free gasoline, you've got a problem that's sitting there festering that's going to cause you problems. You need to drain that out of there. For some machines like chainsaws, it's easy. Just take a container, dump it out, right? And then you have to deal with a carburetor. But if the thing's still running good, I would immediately get rid of all that fuel and all those devices you may have. And I don't like it, but I now have a whole bunch of them I have to worry about. I'm going to get them all running and then I'll sell them. I really don't have to, I won't need all these things, these things that my brother had. He had probably 20 different engines. I think there's three weed whackers there. And by the way, I've got electric for most of my power tools. You can't go electric with all of it, but chainsaws, chainsaw is pretty respectable power and you do a lot with an electric chainsaw. Weed whacker, I have electric weed whacker and I've had this for the last couple of years. Electric chainsaw, electric weed whacker, electric pole saw trimmer, pole saw for like a chainsaw on a pole. And they have enough power to do the job on me. There's also electric lawnmowers, battery operated mowers. When I say electric, I'm talking about battery operated. You can of course get electric operated any of these things too. But battery operated, the ones I use are the DeWalt brand. I don't get paid by DeWalt or anything. I'm just saying that's what I use, but a lot of companies make them. In fact, my brother had four battery-operated things too. You had a hedge trimmer, battery-operated chain saw, pole saw, and a wigwacker by a Harbor Freight brand called Lunat-Lynx. And so I'm trying to sell all those before batteries become obsolete or something. Battery technology for these electric battery-powered appliances, I call them appliances to tools. They have come a long way. The lithium ion, there's different types of lithium batteries that are in these tools, but typically the lithium ion batteries that are in these tools now, a lot greater power density. We could never have imagined having electric battery operated chainsaws before the days of lithium batteries or battery operated hedge trimmer or whatever. The power density of lithium batteries is so much greater than the old lead acid batteries. These things do work. They're still limited in power. But you can always have extra batteries and you swap them out. That's what I do with my DeWalt tools. I have about 20 DeWalt tools that run off the same battery packs. Why don't you pick a brand, whether it's Milwaukee or DeWalt or Nokia or Ryobi for the basic tool manufacturers, craftsmen. Once you get locked into their battery system, you're kind of locked in. Then you have to only do their tools. You don't have to, but then you have 10 different chargers and 10 different types of batteries. It's a lot better. I have eight different batteries of different capacities all by default, and I'm able to swap the batteries from one tool to another and just keep going. But do some research before you buy a system. Because once you buy one system you want to keep buying that same brand more than likely and then you're locked into that and maybe you don't like their chainsaw, but maybe you like their power drills or whatever. So you have to do some research because then you're stuck with whatever that company has offered generally. The battery-operated tools are the way to go today in my opinion. Just because you almost never have a problem with them, sorry. They operate, they work. Much less maintenance and troublesome than a gasoline powered device. And some things you still need gasoline power for. But battery technology has come a long way, so you might want to check into that. cleaning the carburetors and cleaning the system off. So you dump the gas hour, siphon it out, or use it like a good turkey baster from Walmart, whatever, and then you pull those gasoline out little by little. Get all the gasoline out of the tank, then try to get the gasoline out of lines and the carburetor, if you can. And one simple way to just take care of some of that, if it's still running, start it up and let it run until it runs dry. then after it stalls, start it again. Shake it up a little bit, shake the device up. If it's chainsaw, you can do that. If it's a power washer, you really can't do that. But if you take and shake up that small two-stroke engine especially and start it again, it'll actually start running again for a little while and keep doing that until it won't start at all. Then you've got all the gas out of there. Now the problem is, more than likely, you have left in that carburetor and the lines and stuff, you still have that gel nonsense in it that I was talking about. That's the combination of the water and the ethanol over time gels up. It's like a clear jelly. It's like a... It's... I guess I'm trying to think of its consistency. You'll see it when you pull the carburetor bowl off. So then, what I would recommend you do... If it has a carburetor bowl on it, and usually the four strokes will, and usually it's just one nut on the bottom of the bowl, carburetor bowl, you take that off and examine it, and there you're going to find your jelly. You may also find some corrosion. Clean that all out real good, get rid of the jelly. Also, not just in the bowl, but if you look up where you pulled the bowl out of, there is a... I think coming down, I don't know the technical terms of all the stuff that's in there. You got the float in there and then from the bottom you can see and you also got this down tube that has the jets in it. Clean that off too, clean it out best you can. Now hopefully, if the engine was running, hopefully the gel hasn't clogged up the jets or anything else inside the carburetor too much and maybe you'll be good to go or you don't have to take the whole damn carburetor part. But you could spray a little carburetor cleaner in there here and there and try to get everything out of there best you can. Otherwise, it's a matter of tearing apart the carburetor. That's a whole other issue. That takes a lot longer. Somebody knows when they're doing it, that's an easy job, but it's still taking a little bit more mechanical than you are just pulling the bowl off and cleaning it off in there. But if you clean out the bowl, Most of your problems are going to be in there. You're going to find out right away whether you had a gelling problem. And you probably do. If you have ethanol in there for a year, then you probably got some gelling in your... and then it may not even start. But if the gelling gets too much, then the damping won't run at all because it's plugging up everything. So, and here's a little tip. And for one of these, I did do that because I started getting to it. Now, a lot of these companies today... The small one of the things I'm fixing is a leaf blower a backpack leaf blower and There was no way to adjust the damn thing without a special tool and a lot of these smaller engines have these days You have to have a special tool to adjust your carburetor these days And but anyway, the whole thing wasn't working right and it wasn't starting I don't know how long I've been sitting again My brother passed away and he had these things and I don't know when the last time any of them were used And it takes this little special tool to run the damn thing to adjust it. And adjusting a carburetor is not a real simple thing either. If you've never done it, you're going to mess it up if you don't know. You're going to do a lot of studying online. You can watch a lot of videos. You can even look up, I did this for instance, for the Mantis killer that I have. You can look up the exact... brand name and model number and you can usually find YouTube videos of somebody giving you tips on how to service it or adjust it or get it running again. It's pretty amazing how much stuff is available on YouTube in the form of videos that show you all this stuff. But anyway, I needed a special tool. And what I found was, in some of these videos, kept saying this is, well, you don't have to tear apart a carburetor. A two-stroke engine, it doesn't really have a bowl, has a flat plate on the bottom, and there's a kind of a membrane in there, kind of like a reed valve, has a lot of little perforations and stuff in it that has to remain flexible, and that thing dries out. But they say, but the easier, quicker way is just to buy a new carburetor. Now, that may not sound as extreme. When I tell you they're only around 20 bucks, Does that sound like a reasonable price for a carburetor? For one of these small engines, I'm talking about chainsaws and little two-stroke engines, the tiller that I was talking about, especially those small two-stroke. And the carburetor is only about the size of a, I don't know, like two inches by two inches square. They're pretty small. And they're easily available online. Look up your model number of what you're trying to replace. And you can find, you probably can find the carburetor for about 20 bucks. Now I'm not talking, these are generally not OEM stuff. These are Chinese made replacements, but everything I've been seeing online, people have been doing this and then having good success with just replacing the whole damn carburetor. It's tearing apart if you don't know what you're doing. But you can always tear apart the carburetor if you know what you're doing. Cleaning out the jets and all the passages and everything, you can do that. And there's videos to show you how to do that if you want to. But it almost makes sense, and some of the carburetors are like 12 bucks. It almost makes more sense to just put on a new carburetor. And most carburetors, now for the Chinese stuff, this may not be as correct. But most carburetors, from the factory, they're already pre-adjusted, where you don't really have to adjust them at all. One way you can check this is when you go to put on a new carburetor, is before you do any adjustments on the old one, There's three adjustment screws, typically two or three adjustment screws on a carboard. Count how many times, turn it tightening clockwise. Count exactly how many times you turn that screwdriver. Usually it's about one to one and a half times. And so it stops. Don't crank it down, just all the way till it stops, just where you can feel it resisting. And write that down, whether it was the left side or the right side, the bottom one or whatever, write that number down, that value, how many times you turn that screw completely around. And you can apply that to the new carburetor and get pretty close. So that's one way to get around. But then if you have to go online and start doing some research on how to adjust your carburetor, if it's running poorly, if it keeps falling, or if you go to rev it up like a chainsaw where you need to rev it up to do your cutting and it doesn't, it bogs down, that's the high adjustment. You got a low adjustment, you got a high adjustment, and you got a throttle adjustment. It's, I'm learning, okay? I don't really want to have to learn. I got a lot of other things to do besides mess with all these engines. But it's going to cost me $50 to $100 to get every one of these things running by the guy I'm taking them to. And the thing machines sometimes only worth $50 or $100 in the end. So, okay, let me see. What else do I need to cover on this? Again, I'm talking about helping you With your small engine problems because the fuel is the number one thing. Okay, let me talk about the anad so replace Drain the fuel and burn out what's in there Remove the bowl if you can Shake it up kick-starting it. It really runs all the way out then get ethanol free gasoline to put in the additives They don't really work again. There was a video video I watched with one guy did ten different engines brand new engines and Did it over a period of two years starting up every month and none of those additives work? The only thing it did work Was a gasoline and if you don't if you can't find pure gasoline at your gas stations in your local area you can go to the Hardware store your home depot your menards your whatever all these big box stores And they do also sell ethanol-free gasoline in cans. It's more expensive that way, but you can get it. And if you were talking a chainsaw or some other small engine, it doesn't use much gas. That gas will last you a while, and it will last longer. What they found when we were testing is, after about a year and a half to two years, the only thing that still ran was the thing using this, and I don't know the brand names. don't remember the brand names, but they're probably all very similar. There's the ethanol-free gas in the cans. That was the only thing that really, in the end, was still running. Everything else died out. No matter what kind of additive you added to it, everything else was dead. The only thing that was left was stroller running, was the thing that had the pure gasoline in it. Very interesting test. And you try to go to these sites or to these videos that aren't trying to sell you something, Maybe they're trying to sell you marble mystery oil or whatever. If they have links to their affiliate links in their video, that they're trying to sell you some additive that they claim works, then run away from those. Or websites that try to sell you some additive, run away from those. You want ones that have just the information that aren't selling you some. Use pure gasoline in these engines. So after you get all the gasoline out, if you think you can get by without having to tear the carburetor completely apart, Add your fresh gasoline or leave it dry until you need to use it. That's another thing that could be done. Then it's not sitting there for months and months and months. But add small amounts of gasoline to it and use it up. Add a small amount that you can use that up. Now, if you have a small amount of gasoline, it's a little more susceptible to moisture. A little bit of moisture is not the end of the world. But a lot of it is and that's in the ethanol ruins it and you have moisture in there So you use it? Yeah, you just don't fill the tank all the way up I mean you can but it depends how much you use the device You're not using a chain sliver. I mean unless you're in business. You're not using a chain sliver day or you're not using a belief for every day unless you're in some kind of business where you do need that so add gas leaves sparingly now What you can add to your gasoline, this is where the additives do come in and then they do, they can do some things, is the gasoline stabilizers. The most popular brand out there is probably, we're called Stable. Stable. Safe foam, Marvel Mystery Oil. There's a lot of products out there that claim to be fuel additives that can help extend the life of gasoline. But you cure me carefully. These additives I just mentioned and all the other ones do not work for the ethanol for what we're trying to do here. These are for pure gasoline. They won't hurt anything, but they're not going to work either. You're wasting your money. Unless using them in pure ethanol-free gasoline. That's the key. Seafoam and also there's two-stroke oils. When you have to add, you have to mix the oils with the gasoline. The two-stroke oil sometimes have a fuel additive that helps stabilize. But you probably still want to go with, even if it says that on the label of the oil you're adding for your two-stroke engine, you probably still want to go with one of these other products. Some of the ones that I just mentioned, I don't get money from any of these companies. Seafoam, the three that I can think of are off the top of my head that are very popular are also Lucas. There's Seafoam, Stabil, and Marvel-Mystreal. These are the ones that And people have used and you can use these for other things and there's I've watched a lot of videos and people that are testing these things to see if they really Remove carbon or all these other things that they can't be a manufacturer makes claims of doing for us I have a can of sea foam right here So there can clean injectors clean carburetor jets Stabilized fuels control moisture and fuels quiet and always eat lifters clean deposits and lubricity to fuel blue buffer cylinders the ice and anti-gel Well, the anti-gel part doesn't work The cleaning car jets, well, unless it's gelling, because ethanol, that doesn't work. So you got to take these with a grain of salt. Sea foam has been around forever. Sea foam was actually developed in ways, the reason it's called sea foam is because it was used in marine engines. They were two-stroke engines. And this is supposedly for gas and diesel and the manufacturers make all claims take the greatest off Maybe they do some other things Maybe some of them do remove a little bit of carbon from them from the pistons and from the inside of the cylinder heads Whatever there's a lot of testing that have been done for a lot of people have tested this stuff and then looked in and see if it actually does remove carbon and all the other things that make claims of That's not what I'm talking about right here. I'm talking about Using it in the gasoline to counter the effects of ethanol None of them work Now maybe somebody's going to prove me wrong, but I haven't seen anything yet. On all the stuff I've looked into the last couple weeks, nobody's come up with anything that works other than not using the ethanol gasoline in there. That's what works. 60 days to 90 days is about what you can expect that fuel to last in one of your small engines. And more than likely, if you're like most of people, it sits there for 60 to 90 days before you may have to use it again. And then you can't start it. Then you got an expensive bill unless you know what you pick it into a shop. Unless you know what you're doing. And it's not that hard. It takes a little bit of research and I'm learning it. But once I get all these taken care of and I got clean fuel in them, that I mean, ethanol free fuel, then your problems will lessen. Now, they say that you should only have it in there for about a year, ethanol free fuel. They will last longer, depending how much moisture is introduced in your system. But usually we want to use them up within a year. And you won't have to keep draining them all, just keep using it, using it, drain out, use what you have in there, add more head fresh to it. And as long as it doesn't have that ethanol in there, you're probably not going to have that gelling problem. You can still have other issues with the carburetor and with garbage in the fuel or whatever. There could still be other problems, including some moisture. But one way, as I said, to remove the moisture is to take that little bolt off the bottom. Sometimes you'll have two plugs in the bottom of that bowl. One is just a drain plug. And that's ideal because then you can just let a little bit run out until you see what looks like gas. Because if you see water right away, that's good. You're getting rid of all the water at the bottom of the bowl. So these additives... for stabilizing the fuel will help the fuel last longer if it's not ethanol type. Again, forget ethanol. These are not going to work to extend the life of ethanol. They will work, I guess, depending on the brand. Maybe all of them don't work. I don't know. You have to check the testing of the particular product you wanted to hear dealing with. The additive for the fuel is to extend the life of the fuel by stabilizing the fuel so it doesn't break down as quickly and it can maybe last two years in your device instead of one year. That's what it's for. It's not for removing water. Again, that's the key here is water with ethanol is messing up your small engine. You get nothing else from this. That's the main thing. Now you can use these additives for other things possibly. I'm not going to get into that tonight. All I'm talking about is using it to try to counter the act of ethanol. Now you can make your own ethanol-free gasoline, as I said, with the water method. Kind of really bizarre, but you can do it. But more than likely, you can go to pure. That website to go to is pure-gas.org. We'll show you a gas station in your area that has... That's an all-free gas. Now, what I do, because after all the stuff I learned now, and I bought this little test kit, the little test kit costs as reusable. You can use it many times if you want. So, glass tube with markings on it. Get the laser etched type, the one that doesn't have markings that the gasoline might dissolve and wear off over time, or labels on it, the marks on it. If you buy one of these test kits, get one that's laser etched so that it's always visible, no matter how old it is. And the kit costs 15 bucks. Most of them and I don't know if you can get them at the at your local hardwares or box stores, but I got them online I'm sure you on Amazon or eBay Cost about 15 bucks then when you get your gas at the gas station that claims to have pure gasoline with no ethanol I run a quick test on it put the water in the tube with the gas on it the only wasting about a couple tablespoons of gasoline or a tablespoon or two depending on the size of the vial that you're using, the test tube you have. I call it a test tube, but it's got a screw-on cap on it or a cork so you can shake it up. Maybe, Nick, you can use a pop-out. And then see if the level rises. If the level rises after five minutes, after shaking it for a minute or two and letting it set for 10 minutes, if the level rises and you know it's got ethanol and you need to complain to management saying, hey, that wasn't ethanol-free gasoline, you got ethanol in that gas. and then go to the website and have them remove that station from the list until they comply. Again, pure-gas.org. The only way you're going to know is if you test it. So if I go and I get 10 gallons of stuff, I'm going to test one, just test that batch before you put in all your engines. Otherwise, you're running in the same nightmare as you had before. Okay, let's see. Anything else? I've learned a lot. I really need to be doing other things and having to mess with this, but it's one thing while I'm waiting for this. I'm trying to get a mechanic out to work on my crawler loader and on somebody that was going to him and he charges $200 an hour. He said, but I get it done. $200 an hour for a mechanic. I've been having a hard time finding mechanic that knows his stuff. I have an engine that was rebuilt, put in the thing and it's not hooked up. The one mechanic I hired, he didn't know his diesel engines. I need somebody who knows what they're doing. I'm still looking. I've got a couple of feelers out for other people. I've been asking other people for referrals. I need this machine fixed. It's been a year trying to fix this thing. It's been crazy. It's so hard to find a mechanic that knows what he's doing. Before I can start building, I need to get this thing fixed. I'm 95% of the way there. Anyway, this $200 an hour mechanic, he said he'd pass. He came to look at it and everything. He said, you thought about it overnight. He said, I'll pass. But I gave him a number of somebody else and I'm going to call him, wait for return calls. It's one thing after another. Just waiting for this, waiting for that. People don't seem to be as dependable these days as they once were. Need a great depression or something where everybody needs to work. So they could sit back and click government checks. in their wonderful socialist worlds and that work. So let's see here, anybody wants to call in? Probably a lot of people didn't. Probably most of you are going to, if you're listening on the 20th. is 20th of April. If you're listening on 20th of April, you're listening live, but unfortunately, because the show started with a major hiccup, a lot of people didn't tune in until later because they sounded like I wasn't on the air for the first five minutes. Well, I wasn't. It wasn't really my fault. But anyway, so this will be probably in reruns, it'll be a very more informative and awful sort of episode. When I do a lot of studying I do it pretty well in depth and I get to the bottom of things And before I start reporting them to them to my audience because I want to I want to know the truth myself I don't want to believe what the seep home label says on it that it's gonna actually do what it says gonna do I've been watching the boy Try to keep up with the Ukraine stuff In Russia, of course and what's going on in the White House. Oh my god and it came to mind I've been thinking about this a while because of the the, what do they call it? Decomposer in chief. It reminds me of whether you're having to prop this guy up. You've got notes to have exactly what to say. You've got Easter bunnies pushing them away from questions. People answer questions. If you go online and start looking at all of the gas reasons we opened the last few months of Biden shaking hands with empty people. Good God. He loathed it. Not since FDR, we had a president that needed such propping up. Because yeah, FDR, in his four terms, mine's not going to even last his first term. In FDR, they were propping him up. He was basically crippled and they were propping up. Even Kennedy was being propped up in some respects because he was having some medical issues. But Biden is very visible, very apparent. He's gonna have to stop doing press processes and complete it. And the second in command, the laughing, the joker, oh, God, what's wrong with her? We better hope, well, Biden is a bad choice, but she's worse. What are we into? It reminded me, and I went online looking, and sure enough, there was. I had original thought, and I'm thinking, somebody could make a funny spoof called, Weekend at Biden's. Anybody know the movie Weekend at Bernie's? Where if you don't know the plot of the movie, basically a couple of guys going to visit a friend of theirs and it turns out they find him dead and they want to continue this party or whatever this weekend, this wild weekend they were going to have. So they just kept propping up this dead guy. Make it look like he was at the party and alive and everything. That's what we got at the White House. That's what we got. We can't we can't at Biden's and They're popping the guy up and I thought I wonder there'd be a great spoof to make and sure enough somebody I Googled on YouTube like but in weekend weekend at Biden's and somebody did do a little video and it's not very good But my idea was better but yeah It's funny, but it's not I mean we've got a president now that is completely incompetent It's the 25th Amendment. It was the 25th Amendment. I think it's the 25th Amendment that would apply in this case. But we don't want to invoke it because the option is worse. Who would replace them? Oh, God. We're in trouble if we do go to war. We got a guy on the button that doesn't maybe know what a button is at half the time. So, okay, let's see here. What else? I've got a few minutes before my show ends. I thank everybody for listening, especially if you tune in again later because of the rerun. I've been trying to keep doing the show, but it's getting harder and harder for me when the weather's clearing up. Got some videos planned, but I don't know about time to do any of them. I don't know if I'm going to be putting videos on this build on my YouTube channel until maybe next year or the year after, until I have time, because I'm going to be too busy probably. On my rain days, days where I can't work out there or something else comes up, that's the days I run into the building supply store or go to get things taken to fix and all the errands that I have to do to keep this project going. So I don't know that I will be adding videos like I would love to if I had, I almost need a full-time videographer to do this. I'm filming things and right now it's just all being stored because I... I just don't have the time to edit. I didn't even take a long time. If anything, I'll probably be doing just live off-the-wall updates, but I can't really do that very easily because the cell signal there, to be able to do live videos for my phone, is almost non-existent. It's a very poor signal, so it would just be broken up so much. It would just not go on the air half the time. So I'm probably going to have to stop doing videos for some time. I don't know. We'll see. There may be some short ones that I do. I'm trying to document this whole thing for the channel, but it just may not be going up to where anybody can see it for some time. So maybe the thing's done. See what else for some other plays. Well, thank everybody for joining me. Anybody that did join me here today. Okay, we'll be with the next week again. Red Light is pure and gas-ot-only. Use only pure gasoline while you will talk to a quality expert and so on. A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. 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, of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Most sons of the republic arise take a stand defend the Constitution the supreme law of the land Preserve our great republic and each God given right Pray to God keep the torch of freedom burning bright as I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from once he came His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching 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? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I'm our kirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. libertytreeradio.org and we are on satellite at all of our merchant marine personnel out there across the globe, I mean literally all points of the compass, and a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is, oh my goodness, it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 20th of April, which means two-thirds of the month of April are gone. Hit it out. And we're looking towards the, we're marking down to the end now. It's cool, but let's not wish those days away. We had enough work to do. The hour break wasn't long enough with all the things I'm trying to get done. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Anyway, it has been a very busy week. It's only Wednesday, but a lot accomplished. I want to say hi to the 8th Regimental Combat Team, Colonial Marine Militia, 2nd Squadron. We have a new vehicle that we acquired. I had a bit of information. There used to be a the contractor in the northern end of Indiana sold a lot of Russian and a lot of British equipment. Well, we tracked down another Saracen. So we're maybe not going to keep it with the eights that may be traded out or it'll go to the other squadron because again, we got it for a good price. It was sitting in a barn. It was on barn finds, but it wasn't tired. The guys parked it. It's got about what I think 3,800 miles on the meter. So, let me tell you something right there. But in general, in pretty good shape, we know the issues with the Saracen, as far as things that need to be watched for, and tricks of the trade, because we have old Canadian and British personnel that, when we've talked to them, who kind of explain some of the, you know, what few issues they had, what to look for. It's kind of like the old GMC pickup trucks or excuse me, pickup trucks, deuce and halves from post Korea. They were an automatic transmission. In fact, anybody could drive them up here in Michigan. We got a potato farmer. He has hundreds of them. And traditionally, over the decades, he would hire college and high school students to drive the potato trucks. Well, they're GMC deuce and halves and they're two speed high low. Built like a brick doghouse, they will run forever. But But a little secret, the lubricant that they used for the transmissions, which by the way can be accessed from inside the crew compartment without having to rip everything out or tear everything down. Their access panels, it was built intelligently. Little trick, the guys used to drive these things and the army used to be a bastard on this. I've talked to many, many people who were drivers in transportation. If you didn't let the vehicle warm up for about a good half hour, the seals would not properly set. And if you tried to take off and put pressure on the system with the existing factory standard lubricant, they'd blow a seal. Well, the government loved that because they'd have you working for free and you'd be paying for a quote unquote a new transmission for that deuce. So the guys found out that when those seals went bad, in theory they had to change them. But the guys in the Pacific tried everything because they didn't want to spend three, four, five paychecks giving that money to the government working for Uncle Sam for free. What they found out is coconut oil was the best replacement solution. for the transmissions now, right? I don't know for anybody even trying it now and I don't know they'd want to but in a battlefield situation, in this case, it wasn't battlefields just garrison operations. The government was ripping people off left, right? And it was a favorite red slip to give you from company to tag you for your paycheck. Well, coconut oil, which is kind of, it was about a 10 weight oil that was originally used for the trans. Coconut oil not only did it, of course, replace the original fluid, but it actually helped to expand and reseal, reset the seals. So the cool thing is that they eventually it was kind of an unspoken fact that if something like that happened, yeah, you found wherever you could. Coconut oil, the Pacifica wasn't much of a problem. Other places a little more, a little tighter, but it could be had. And this was a way to save your paycheck. A lot of times they tell a young kid who was just out of his advance course for transportation, wheeled transport, and he'd go out there and of course they'd all be in a hurry, come on, crank them all up, start them all up and grab that one and just take off and we'll catch up with you. And they knew that they were setting that kid, that new guy up, for a fall. So everybody started watching each other's back and kind of reminding everybody, hey, dudes, here's the problem we have. So a lot of times with all of these pieces of equipment, there are ideas that aren't in the standard FM or TM or TC, but are out there in the minds of the operators. Now, they used to have a PM magazine, I don't know if it's still being produced, if so, it's probably queers a $3 bill by now. But it was done on the old Chuck Canyon cartoon style, and it was all these little neat fixes that all the troops had come up with in the field. Okay, some of them actually became standard production after a while, because it was realized that everybody was using the fix. So, if you run into any of these, they are priceless. The manuals are about, what is it, 8.5 by 5.5? 8 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 by 5 1 And the whole thing was it was a training circular that was done specifically for the M16A1 to troubleshoot for all the problems that they knew existed. And way to correct it or prevent things from happening, going south real quick, going wrong. So, again, if you've seen that, the other PM manuals are in the same format. They're a whole series. They come out every month originally, and they are priceless because they cover gamma goats, M15, one Ford Mutts, GMC, deuce and a half, any of the newer equipment, nothing. Well, if they make newer, then it might cover the stewards and everything else, but I don't know. It's one of those things where the 21st century idiot stick, pantagram has probably stumbled up completely and if they are it'll be so politically correct that the troops are wearing the red high heels and while they're busy fixing the vehicle they're trying to find their effeminate internal self, don't you know? For the guys, for the girls, they're supposed to start talking like men and cutting their hair butch and you know being the mangy man. But nothing about PM by the time you're done. Well, we would do it this way, but it's illegal and the regulations say you can't. So the manual is actually now each monthly report is only about two pages long and it's all about don't do this because you'll be fired. Or you'll have to go through more sexual relations courses, let's put it that way. But again, a lot of fixes like that for weapons too. They covered anything and everything you can imagine and it's fascinating some of the stuff that was worked out with the M60. The M60s that they complicated, most of the problems were fixed with the ammunition. But there are still things that could go wrong or things you had to watch for. So these manuals are quite useful. And since you guys all have a lot of AR-15s, it would behoove someone to start reproducing those. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. There were some phenomenal training aids that have been built in the past that right now are needed by the rank and file average American with an AR 15. We take them into combat semi auto mark. Some worse just fine. Good color. Jim in there, please. Yes, sir. I'm fluffy. I've been curious about that's a bowl. Stop. You know the 3d printing. And I have run across a website called Odyssey. O-D-Y-S-E-E dot com. And they seem to have the files for a bunch of different eventable receivers, AR15s. I'm looking at one now that underbought X2. 3D printable AR10 lower receiver and if I'm not mistaken you can get the files to print them out if you have or get a 3D printer and have the right sort of I forget what to call the stuff here that it does connect the receiver but this is the most impressive site found yet with a wide variety of different printable things. It's o-d-y-s-e-e dot com for all kinds of printable stuff. I even have, looking at right now, a 3D printable AR-15-22 long-length magazine for anybody who's got one of the 22 adapters. Just tons of stuff here. It's remarkable. I just wondered what you will know about this. The thing that had to catch up was the bonding polymers, you know, the material that they're using. Initially, like any design idea, in this case where they're manufacturing, the original materials were designed as part of a learning curve and it was mostly designed for patterning to create a prototype. Of course, logic is, if you're willing to spend money on the resins, the material, and of course they've worked to a degree, they've worked that out, then technically you can stack and build just like you do an infusion mold. Advantages and disadvantages. All the polymers, the thing about the polymer receivers. is typically why you see Gen 2 or even now a Gen 3 with one of the companies is because while they don't have a lot of problems, they may have a wear or a fixture point that needed to be reinforced and they do that by use and wear and tear. Now the advantage that the, if they're smart, the advantage that the printables have is somebody else has already done all the research and development with conventional polymer infusion casting. So that they if they mimic it, they're going to be a step ahead. Of all the guns that could possibly work with both polymer as in regular infusion casting, you could do any number of other methods or printable. The AR-15 is the most user friendly to it. And the reason guys is that magic buffer tube that German buffer tube. Oh, did I say that? Yeah, cuz they pulled that off of the MP44. It's one feature off the MP44 that we rolled right sideways Stoner did over into the M16 rifle. They may argue otherwise, but there's no other weapon that has such a dominant feature, a buffer tube system like that. It's not that it was brand brand new. The only thing that Stoner did was actually perfect the counterweight and even extended the energy thrust from the discharge of the case. He stretched out even farther by developing the internal workings of the buffers that everybody's buying and nobody realized just how they work. Okay, the buffer itself, the buffer piston. With polymers like the printables, the AR, the only thing I could see is be going up unless For some reason, government decides to pressure the industry and what they'll do is pressure them on reducing the quality or maybe changing something up in the polymers so that it fails over a period of time. It still wouldn't be a problem for, again, think about this. If you consider them garrison or handout slash better than a butter knife gun, they would work more than this sufficiently for take this, go with Bob. Fred's gonna be with you too. We're going to hunt bad guys and our purpose is to get you a regular arm, a contract arm of some kind. This is the rifle you'll be using. It's exactly like the one you may capture. So congratulations, go kill Ching Lee. And- The only thing that I would say with printable and even with the polymer, we've talked about this with the wooden ones, actually we're in a third generation wooden receiver right now. And it's not because of malfunction, we're trying to cheapify it. And we found that we can. All of these things, the advantage of the polymer receiver provided they don't go crazy with those resins is cost efficiency. In other words, what does it cost to produce four receivers? Let's just say one receiver. If I can produce three printable receivers for the price of one, that makes it very useful. That's three guys that can go kill Ching Li as opposed to one guy that can go kill Ching Li. Now, I might not have the endurance with that Polymer receiver, but for the period of time that it's needed until such times as quickly replaced, I can use it, monitor it for failure. And when it looks like it's gonna fail, pop all the parts off the lower, put them on the next printable lower receiver that's in the pile, and go to town until that one fails. The big advantage is the Lego block gun to begin with, in that the AR-15 is a Lego gun. I mean, come on guys, one of you out there that can't build an AR-15. It's purely a personal fear factor. Otherwise, there is nothing to building an AR-15. Now, you want to maintain standards, but the factories have done that. The parts manufacturers have maintained the high standards. So the only thing that's going to be in question, like let me just prop, is that printable or receiver. If you're the one building it, then you're the one that has to maintain quality control. Now, the one thing that I would say with all of these, if I was building for heavier wartime production, And the printables would be real easy to do because you could modify the program, but create fendered inserts that would sleeve, for instance, the point where the retainer pins, the front and rear pins that lock the upper and lower together. You would look like basically a rimfire cartridge. Think about it that way, but with no end or the where the cap is on the rimfire cartridge. So it had these oversplained fenders that would protect the outer edge, the sharp edge of the channel made out of plastic. Now, if you had four of those on each side of the lower receiver, when you drop the upper into place and you push the pin through, it would have it would be facing metal. The metal would just disperse the energy applied by the operation of the weapon more uniformly and with less issue of possible weakness in one part of the printable component or another, because you can still have flaws. I don't know how the reservoirs work, I'd have to look and see how the reservoir for material works. No matter what, you can have some point where you go, oh, I gotta change out something. That can be a weak point if you're continuing to produce something, but you've had a drop in temperature, a change in the attitude of the way the stuff aligns, et cetera. There's all kinds of things that could happen, but when those inserts, that would eliminate that. Another place where that kind of insert would be good with either a polymer, the polymer receiver like the ones you guys are building, or say the printable is wherever there's a cross pin for the hammer and the sear and everything else. And that could be again made out of copper, stainless, nickel plated tin, you know nickel plated pot metal, whatever you got. And that little feature is what we're doing with the wooden lower receivers right now. It's the end again. It's basically making it look like more of a cowboy gun with like I mentioned You could go with chrome or stainless. We don't really want shiny, but you do want it so it doesn't oxidize so you can do brush chrome Where you can do stainless and then paint it and if the chips paint it again So the printable would be one of the many solutions The thing is we we have it they haven't been in service so long that we could and I don't know how many have tested to failure And nobody's got the money for that. Usually if somebody is working on a one machine technology, they don't have the time to spend thousands of rounds, which it's expensive nowadays, but to spend thousands of rounds and test the unit to failure because that's what really needs to be done. Everybody's done this. We talk about Edison with his batteries. Anybody who's built anything that's a piece of technology, there'll be an A model, a B model, a C model. Well, there's the reason is you've used it for a bit. You see where there's a failure, so you tweak the design, but you make sure you identify that it's a B model because it's been upgraded. Then when you do a C model, it's because you had an upgrade from whatever it is. You found out later it should have been changed with a B model. That's the only thing that hasn't I think happened really yet in in the extreme traditionally weapons were tested to failure as in literally to failure Remember that cute little series of videos on high point That's one where they were trying to prove that the high point was junk, but it took three videos to destroy it So I'm not gonna say that the printables are junk. It's the idea. We need to test to see how far they can go And to do that, we need a standard 5.56 high powered, well, light rifle cartridge model. And then it would probably be a good idea to make a nine millimeter version and see if that holds up better. Should be kind of interesting because it might. The big issue here, well the other one is 308, you mentioned AR10, fluffy. Now the AR10, the 760 by 51 NATO is a more powerful cartridge, but remember, again, that buffer system makes for a lot of forgiveness with regard to the way the felt energy pulse moves through the rifle and what the cyclic process is, how many nanoseconds does it take for that energy to be transferred? Well, it's stretched out by the nature of the way that the system is laid out and the way the buffer tube works to reduce overall felt recoil and to prevent shocking of the system. Amazingly enough though, I would choose this interesting. They did that with the AR-15 yet the AR-15 is aircraft aluminum basically. Was built to a much higher standard than maybe wartime production weapon World War II say for the Germans like with the MP40, MP44 forgive me. But obviously I mean look at the level of production. How many weapons, how many AR-15s have you seen fail? Where you personally have seen an AR-15 fail in your lifetime? I've never seen an AR-15 fail. I've seen them jam. I've had some that by God, you know, the only problem is it was a Colt rifle. I've mentioned this a million times. Best rifle at the moment, Colt manufactured H-BAR. And we spent, I'd say, a quarter of a day. We had to tweak one that John Stetmiller had. We got his tweaked out. The other one, we had to spend a whole lot more time changing out part after part after part after part. The weapon didn't fail, the weapon just didn't function well, that's all. But it didn't fail. So again, if these hold up, the printable is as good a solution as any other to give us, again, basically much, much better than a Volkssturm weapon from 1944. And in fact, probably comparable to any other polymer arm for this day. Since plastic is now considered fully acceptable for you know majority of the parts or even the receivers of many of the weapons or Integrated parts that are critical part components Like what we see with the scar rifle with some of the stuff that was done there. It's a done surprise me But there again, hey, you got lots of money if it fails you'll just get the guy another gun That's just as expensive and made by the same people and you won't say anything about the one that failed Which probably what happens with the scar so? Anyway, anything else, Fluffy? Did you find anything else there? It was interesting while we were talking. Well, I even have apparently files where you can print your own Hix magazines for the AR-15. I've really only just started going through all these files and it's quite a lot that are listed there. I'm not sure if any of these files are charged for, but if any are, they're probably quite reasonable. The most expensive thing to get, of course, would be the 3D printer. And those aren't that high anymore. And the filament that it uses. I've seen a few videos on YouTube about people shooting their 3D printed ARs. And like I see these scorpions had gone and others that fired just fine. Worked perfectly. So this is... I think anybody should download as many of these as they're interested in before their efforts to center it. Right, it's the next thing they'll go after. It's the next thing you're going after, after they've gone after the 80%. They're going to try using that as the way to get their nose in the door of the old camel routine. Not that they already haven't done wicked crap like this, the ATF has. I'll jog your memory on. Again, Shotguns 12 gauge magazine fed. Remember we had a whole bunch of them were coming out in the 80s and ATF arbitrarily decided that you couldn't have those near machine gun. And like I said, now you go over to any of the companies classic arms, whatever you got Turkish magazine fed bullpup 12 gauge shotguns coming in from all over the place, but mostly from Turkey. So, but, but 3 decades ago, arbitrarily, there's this arbitrary and capricious activity and it was done by George Herbert Walker Bush. Whole bunch of different weapons were attacked like that or weapons parts. So what you're seeing right now is not new, it's the same scam. We need to get rid of the ATF. We need to get rid of all these operations. The Gun Control Act of 1934, 30, or forgive me, 33, 34, cuz it started in 33, it was not just 34, that's really not correct. If you know the history of the progressive series of executive orders leading up to the NFA Act, they did the same BS they're doing right now with the Petos Nifer Meat puppet. So we need to pay attention there. But it would be, again, consider this, okay? If you have the number of tools in the toolbox, And you know that certain tools are superior, but each tool will accomplish basically the same task, but the some are limited. Well, example, the 3D printed AR-15s that make great garrison rifles. I've mentioned this many times. When we talked about caliber change back in the two hour block, the Italians didn't do much to change the basic weapon that they were using. They just wanted a bigger, slightly heavier bullet. They went weird anyway. Well, I guess as far as they felt they could with their development of the cartridge, they went from 6.5 Carcano to 7.35. Now, I have tons of both. And I even have original first production on the stripper clip 735 ammo. I've got a lot of it cuz I bought it back when nobody wanted it. Nobody wanted the Carcano's either by the way, and I used to get them cheap. I mean like dollars like 8, 10, $11 apiece. Now, before the war, the Italians were upgrading in every area that they could. They had an advanced Air Force. Ignore all the jokes about the Italians. The Italians actually, we had made major strides. with an economy that was much more limited than Germany's and yet there are some phenomenal weapon systems that they came up with. Others just like every country, hey, every country had some lemons and they were even totally lemons yet to fight what you got. The Carcano in 7.35 was already in motion to be adopted and the only change was the barrel. So in theory, they could have started rebarreling other guns. And moving the rest of their inventory over to 7.35, progressively they'll be using up their 6.5 millimeter ammo. Problem, they wouldn't have gotten to war. They were actually the initiators of a lot of the major actions that led to World War II. They were in the Spanish Civil War. They obviously were in Ethiopia, as you all know. In fact, it's for a lot of these... Here's what's weird. That's where a lot of these carcanos are coming from right now is Ethiopia, where Hailey Selassie, the lion of Ethiopia, overcame the Italian invaders. Most of his men had spears and sharp pointing objects. They didn't have guns even. So, but they did when they were done. They had a lot of Italian guns, as a matter of fact. Well, when they realized that they were going into a significant expansion and conflict, they dropped the 7.35 program simply because it created a series of issues with regard to predicting how quickly they could transfer, you know, transition from one to the other. And rather than having two calibers in field service, They decided to go with one, which happens with everybody as far as the basic rifle caliber goes in any war. It doesn't mean you throw anything away. If you've got a million, or if you've made 800,000 7.35 Carcados, what do you do with them? Well, they're good guns, the same gun your troops are carrying. So what they did, they gave them to railroad security, they gave them to the police, and they gave them to POW camps. You're not shooting everybody at POW camps every day, so you don't need to worry about pulling the trigger. And if you have a reasonable amount of ammunition, chances are you're not going to be shooting it. For the railroad guards, it was the same thing. They were for security railroad in transit in Italy. And in the earlier stages of the war, there wasn't any resistance or opposition. There were no guerrilla operations by the population fighting Benito Mussolini. Everybody was on the same page. And of course the police, well they're not supposed to be shooting everybody either. So again, they had a lethal weapon, it was effective. It was comparable to the standard modern arm, including the M1939 Carcano in all of its basic form. In fact, that's what you've got to be careful of in that you may, some people get real excited. They got a 6.5 Carcano. And what you can do is if you're not watching it, it's not likely because you'll have noticed real quick that there's a problem. But the 7.35 you can load a, take a stripper clip, drop it in the gun and try to jam it forward and make it work. It won't by the way. So there's not a great hazard, but you can get the gun pretty well stuck up because that 7.35 will not operate in the 6.5 Carcano, period, just how it works. Now, the same would be true with what we're talking about here. If I had 3D printed guns, wood receivers or whatever, now the wood receivers and the ones that are rigid, systems that are rigid in nature, oh, hold on here. I got a 4-pod keyboard operator trying to help me by being on my shoulder. There we go. Anyway, for instance, the 3D printed guns would be great for garrison security. rear area support units, kind of like what the Glock was intended for truck drivers. Okay, secondary personnel that need a weapon, but don't shoot all the time. However, if they do, consider this, that the weapon you've put together as a 3D printed gun is comparable to any weapon that the rest of the militia or whatever military force you have is working. But it would be less expensive. Now you still have to have the same quality in barrels. All the other parts better be comparable in quality. The weapon doesn't work. And you're pulling. The only thing you're changing is that receiver itself. Then, polymer receivers, other types, and variations on what we would call our intermediate systems. Those we would Well field is needed but we'd progressively be upgrading and of course you might even not even need to remember We've talked about the idea of testing the failure use it enough You're gonna have a pretty good idea how and how it works and whether or not it works to what is considered service standard Needless to say what this does is it lightens up the pressure on production of standard arms or higher quality arms So, remember guys, you tailor the inventory that you have. It's like instead of the AR-15 printable gun, maybe it turns out that the printables run about the same number of rounds. as say the 80% polymer or any of the other ARs and aluminum that are out there. Well, if that's the case, then you'd slide them over into the standard inventory. Of course, they may or may not keep up with other production, but they'd still keep up. They keep producing. And then you take other secondary arms and put them into security posts and whatever. Like we captured arms that are exotic or oddballs out. You got enough ammunition to make them work. They're serviceable. but they're basically orphan guns. An example is that there are still Augs out there laying around that the one army or another may be carrying the Steyer Aug, great gun. Has a little problem in full auto with being a polymer receiver, but it worked. There's the FAMAS is another one. Remember, it's an odd man out rifle. It's a good gun. But how many would you, how many will you probably capture? Because of that, you don't want that in front line with the rest of your troops. You put that into an area security point or a control point or medical support unit that needs a security detachment. And that way that weapon still serves more than well enough. But the limited supply spare parts and magazines for the gun are huddled together where it's least likely that you're going to have a problem when the time comes being able to support the weapon. If you do get into a fight, everything you need is there and your buddy's carrying the same gun too, which is another critical issue. Go ahead, caller. Who do we have? Number four here. Cut two questions or comments. One thing I'm looking for is less than lethal landmines because they have the grenades. I'm looking for the landmines for that. Plans for that. And that would shoot up extra stink and glitter and die and stuff like that that mark your target so they can't walk around for a week without being shown as Mr. Pink Panther. The other thing is on the 3D printed material, guns and stuff such. The problem with a 3D printer that I see is getting a hold of the filament, the right filament and having that right off as a choke point. The thing I see for a solution to that is that ghost gun maker that takes blocks of aluminum that you can forge out of cans in the backyard, you make your own block of aluminum which is not traceable or trackable. The big expense of course is the machine up front but they have a ghost gun, three revelation, rev right now. and it's supposed to be working on pistol things. And talking about, I guess my other thing is, the third thing is you talk about the logo block AR-15s with the different calibers and stuff like that. You can do a little bit of that with a Glock by putting a 22 upper on a 17 different caliber uppers on some of the Glocks. So that might be another way to get a, and I'm looking at the 22 for the 17 as an idea. This is my comments. Well, the thing about, well, real quick, now, one of the things about, you know, one of the solutions there, remember center fire versus the rim fire issue, that's the only consideration is offsetting. There were a couple of neat tricks that were done by some of the African, what was it, the Maumau guns. that are kind of interesting. Some of the stuff that they cobbled together, they couldn't get certain calibers, obviously. They couldn't get an ammunition hardly at all. But it is interesting some of the cobble work that they did and 22 they could access. They could find 22. Rim fire, 22 long rifle, standard and even short. And so they came up with a bunch of cobbled together where they actually knocked the firing pin. What they did is they disassembled the upper part of the pistol. They knocked it and they brazed a bar onto the side of the firing pin that could easily be detached. And then what they did is they hammered out. a 22 caliber barrel and inserted inside the 9mm or the 45 ACP pistol that they had. Usually they did this with 9's. And the only thing is that it wouldn't necessarily have a magazine. I'm sure they cobbled something like that together, but that's the hardest part. But they did build it so that they could, they could as needed use 22 because it's what they had. And if they ever did capture 9mm, they just knocked the brazier. They tacked the brazier off. and the standard firing pin was still sitting there. It did nothing to significantly weaken the face of the slide. You were the firing pin rest. So it worked. And remember, this was mostly with steel guns. They did it with Astra's Model 600s. We know that they did it with star pistols, because stars were out there back then during the Malmau Revolt. By the way, they were also eating you between making these guns. They were busy, you know being cannibals But what's interesting is these are the same people also made plumbing guns guys You've probably seen some of the pictures of the like the plumbing pipe pistols and anything that they could find they could steal it was metal They were turning into guns So anything town to through that area didn't have antennas on their car anymore or brake lines Yeah, and then with that, or they used it for a skewer for the chunks they chopped off if they caught you, right? You know, remember, the leftover parts were so useful for skewers for the kabobs they were going to make. The people kabobs. The interesting thing is, is that they also did this with, and in fact, it was so successful that some of the ideas that they did ended up in the improvised munitions manuals. One of those, if you notice, is where they show you how to take a rubber band. and compensate for lack of proper dimension with one cartridge and say using a plumbing pipe barrel. Go take a look at the older Vietnam era improvised munitions handbooks. Two or three of the items in there came actually an overlap from a combination of operations in Indonesia. And the other half came from the Malmau cookbook. cartridges to people, because if you got the, if you kill the guy, you can eat him. So they actually did come up with a wide range of improvised guns or improvised solutions. One of the other things that they had a big problem with is that yes, they could get ammunition. I don't know if you guys remember this. The big thing is they were able to pilfer like FNFLs off of the troops, but they couldn't get ammunition. And since the only reason they probably got the FNFLs is because they overran troops and ran out of ammo. So, you know, we always figure, well, I'm gonna take that guy's stuff because I'm gonna get his gun and I'm gonna take everything else. So what they did, here's a crude and rude solution. They took one FNFL, and this happened more than once throughout the last 40 years of African combat. They could buy 30 out six, but they didn't have any 30 out six rifles. So what they did is they pulled the bullet, dropped the powder, cut the case down, and they used one of the original Belgian FNFA-Ls, because those are the toughest receiver, but more importantly, the toughest barrel. And they would take a case and slam fire it, slam it, not fire it, slam it from the magazine until they reformed a case. Do you know how many times it took to do that with a rifle to get one cartridge? Then they would reintroduce the powder. Oh yeah, then they'd reintroduce the powder, then reintroduce the bullet, and then they had one they can pull the trigger on with an FAL. Basically taking and cutting down the out six to make a 308 slash 7 6 2 8 around. So the mom did a lot of stuff. If you read up, if you want to talk about ultimate in improvising cannibalistic cookbooks, that's that's one of the most interesting little windows of history to look at. The only people who were as sophisticated with making anything kill you, making anything that could shoot that could kill you was Indonesia and maybe Malaysia, because they're right there in the same ballpark. The number of improvised arms and shoulder arms and handheld pistol rifles and taking chunks of barrel or taking one rifle and turning it like we've said, like the Russians did with why they always had 30 caliber everything. when you didn't have anything that was reject. If it didn't work for one, you cut it down to the next size, so to speak. Well, they did a lot of handheld single shot. Basically, Dragoon pistols. Barrels were as big as the length of the, wherever you cut the barrel, because rifle barrels are stepped. Well, some of you got stuck with the short ends, you got the big, big, heavy barrel. You can beat somebody's death without pulling the trigger. But they built a whole ton of what looked like big ass Ruger Mark IIs, but they were single shot pistols. And they could be in, they could be in 303 British, they could be in You know, M1 carbine, they could be whatever caliber they had ammunition for. They would whittle out the, you know, innards accordingly and make it work. It's a butter knife brigade. Yeah, well with the better of the butter knife, cuz at least, you know, you gotta figure if you are willing to, if you're willing to get close and you've got a weapon that's lethal but just one shot, then obviously you're gonna get real good at picking your fight. I mean, think about it. If you had to go out and harvest one, you know, if you had, here's your, here's one round. I got three rounds, seven, six, two by 54 are. And I got a battle, I got a battle busted weapon here and I got some parts over there. What can I do with the old garage over there that the mechanic had, he's dead, the house is burned out. But I got a handful of tools and I got a few cartridges and I'm gonna go get me a fill in the blank. I'm looking for the well-dressed man with all their koutamats and he gets the bayonet and the other one gets the hammer. Mark, I'm changing the subject here, something I've been wanting to say to you a long time. You know how they have the expression. I'm not your Huckleberry. I'm not your Huckleberry. Right. I think we need to take something like that and say, but I am your Whittemore. Yeah. I'm a Sam. Yeah. You mean Uncle Sam? Oh, Sam Whittemore. I'm your Whittemore. Hold my hatchet. Here, hold my ointment, by the way, sword. By the way, pistols, pop, pop. By the way, I fired the rifle three times before I got to the other close quarter weapons. And don't forget the fighting knife. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will be your but I will be your Whittemore. Yeah, I would like to see a coin like that that our coin friend makes one of the sides of me. I'm your Whittemore. I'm not just a good. Doc Holliday say I'm your huckleberry. Yeah, I'll be. I'll be your hook. I'll be your hook. Right? Yeah. And he's like, oh, wait a minute. I wasn't meaning you. Yeah, I'm sure you weren't. But don't worry, it's the last thing you'll worry about. Don't worry, you won't be worried for very long. Well, the big thing here again is, and by the way, guys, for you don't know him, Sam Whittemore is a hero of the American War for Independence on the very first day. On the road back to Boston, the British ran into Sam and his militia unit. Sam was an 80-year-old man. You know, you all tell me that I'm too old for filling the blank. Sam was 80 years old. He carried into battle his personal pistols that he had captured from a French officer. He had two of those, very fine pistols, they say. He had a very fine sword. He got that off another French officer in another French and Indian war. He carried his musket, his tomahawk and fighting knife. And what he did is when the British were coming down the road through his village, he picked a spot where the road split. The road came around a little bit of a bend in the middle of town. There was a split in the road. And rather than hide off to the side over the neighborhood, he picked a spot where there was a wall where the road split. And they said, Sam, you don't wanna be there. He goes, no, this is exactly where I wanna be. Now, my personal attitude on this is if you're 80 years old, you're willing to fight, you gotta accept the idea. Well, maybe it's my day to die. So in a way, it was kinda like the old, the Indian chiefs used to stake themselves down. And the idea was within that six foot circle, that's my fighting zone and I'm not leaving it. I either win or lose today. Well- he stated. Let them come to him and he took care of business. Yep, he fired three shots at least. The accounts say that he fired at least and reloaded three times. They got close enough that he then used his pistols. He got even closer and he used his sword, he used his fighting knife. And they rushed him with something like anywhere between 11 and 20 men. They don't know for sure, because they couldn't count everybody trying to stab him with a bayonet or beat his head in. Well, he killed for sure three and he probably wounded somebody with everything else that he did. Now he lay on the ground and by the way, the unit fought on the unit that he was with fought and fought in the town and had to fall back because again, everybody did the same thing fire and fall back. And the British had to pass through and then they came out and they found him laying on the road. He had been bad at it 11 times or you know, I'd beat with a bad at. They beat his head, they beat his body. The people came out and looked at him and said, well, he's not gonna make it so we're not gonna really do anything for him. But his family came out and they begged to get him off the road. So they took a door, took him into a house nearby. It's argued it was his house or at least a family's house. And then they begged to get a doctor and they said, well, he's going to die pretty soon. And we got other people that are still in need of the doctor's care. So they begged for a doctor who did finally show up. The doctor, he treated him and said, well, he's probably not going to make it. And guys, not only did he make it, but he lived to be 98 years old, 98. Yeah, old age. Well, I'll be happy with that. 98, hell, if you make it to 100, it's a good way to spite your enemy. 98's a good way to spite your enemy. Consider this, that he lived not only till he fought the first day of the American War for Independence. He used every last ounce of strength that he had, and then he got to live to see us win the war. And then you still got a chance to be part of the country developing and building up from the victory. You think about that. So when somebody says, well, I'm too old for that, that's why we always reference Sam Whittemore, I wanna be a Sam. I'm only 64 years old, I gotta grow up to be a Sam. 80 years old, a combat veteran of more than a few wars, their argument is, I think he was for sure in Queen Anne's, but he was, in each action, he brought trophies back with him. And he was quite notorious amongst the militia as having been a very good organizer, but he was getting up there in years. So it's possible his logic was, if I'm gonna die, it's gonna be today, but you're gonna remember. And what's really cool is if you take that attitude and you fight like hell and you hang on no matter what you hang on Guess what? You get to live another 18 years and see what else is going on. I get tired I say to myself I am a witter more and That helps me get over my tiredness. Well number four out I uploaded a lot of books in the book section for you guys and enjoy talk to you guys later. Bye Very good. Thank you, sir And again for everybody out there, option where? Well, I don't know if it's still on our page. Hold on a second here. I have a kitty cat that's trying to help me with my headset again. She's not hurting anything, but she's trying to get close, is the thing. She wants to hear what you guys are hearing. Anyway, there we go. My helper. I don't know if it's still posted. If you go to Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg dot com. It's still on Discord. Thank you. Very good. And again, we do have, of course, the rest of the other manuals. As a matter of fact, as I pointed out, I just finished a little more artwork today. Matter of fact, I'm looking at it right now. I just did a couple more outlines because all of the anti-armor manual, if you guys have it, that's all hand-done artwork. I have to sketch out and do all the graphics on it and everything and it's pretty well done. So the anti-armor part two, which is going to be other ideas that have been applied actually in more than one battlefield at work. And one of the things that we didn't incorporate in the first anti-armor manual was the idea of the checkerboard defense. Understand that And in fact, these are battles that nobody talks about now for obvious reasons, because all the Israelis are such which bank super soldiers, blah, blah, blah. Well, you know what? The hullabaloo has blah. One they were fighting when they were, of course, they're in Lebanon. They haven't left. Everybody's still right where they've been. The Israelis wanted to go in and invade Lebanon and reenact their, you know, their former actions where they went all the way to Beirut. I will remind everybody that they didn't even meet their first day's minimal objective. And from that point forward, all of their timetable or their proposed timetable for actions failed. Why? Well, because everybody that was involved on the defensive side developed a defense in depth in checkerboard pattern where they control an area and they do not abandon it. They fight within that area of activity. If they are bypassed, they continue to engage any support or rear area targets, but they continue to maintain control over their black square on the checkerboard. The technique was so successful that it virtually broke the effective spirit of the Israelis. And with satellite support, high altitude aircraft, mid altitude aircraft, low altitude rotary, tanks, artillery, APCs, they literally had their butts handed coming to two ham chucks on two different platters. Now, the losses were totally disproportionate. Now, if you try to say that the thing in Ukraine is comparable but with Ukrainians, it's not true. The Ukrainians have in no way, shape or form provided nor will the US government provide an accurate account of the level of casualty production on the Ukrainian side. I cannot emphasize enough, ignore most all the bullshit that you're seeing in all of the media and even in the hyped up social media area with regard to trying to yap about how old the Russians is, so the Russians got done that. With fire maneuver and operations of this type, the only advantage that the defender does have, which is a significant advantage, is that they can perform harassment raids and defense in depth with mobility. But it has to be with small operational pieces of equipment because it's a shoot and scooter situation. If you have any heavier target of opportunity equipment under those conditions, You have to accept the idea that you're going to lose them. This is actually what they're fighting by right now. Some of the Ukrainian units are fighting, although we can't trust any of the information we have on them. To a degree, they're fighting in a para-conventional frame, as I've talked about many times. What do I mean by that? Well, they have armor. They have mechanized. You're not seeing or hearing whether or not they what they've lost. But remember in a paraconventional operation, even if you rode out your own equipment, everybody goes, we are going to lose that. Yes, we expect to lose this. It's war. However, what we're going to do is take it out. We will fire will move with it as we can. But you run it to its extreme and you consider it an acceptable loss. It was built to be destroyed anyway. That's what combat vehicles are. They're built to destroy and they're built to destructions. It's very likely someone's going to shoot at it. Okay, no matter what it is, I don't care if it's an MBT, an APC pickup truck, he doesn't make ear runs. Everything's a fair game target on the battlefield, and it will be shot at. And contrary to the bullshit, you know, forgive me, the BS that is generated, it's equal opportunity dying time on the battlefield. If you do not pay attention, and if you fail to follow certain rules, guess what? You're a target of opportunity, either side. If you engage and enforce some cases in order to use the weapon, you have to expose yourself. Not expose yourself as in, hey, look, I'm going to show you my butt. But when you operate your weapon systems, when you light up your laser, when you do whatever you're going to do on board a piece of equipment, somebody's looking for it. And it doesn't make any difference if it's a brand new piece of equipment or an older piece of equipment. Either way, everything has a signature. And if you're in war, both sides are looking for those tell tales. That tell is what gives you perhaps an advantage. So the fact of the matter is that what they're trying to do in the Ukrainians right now, at least the propaganda yap, is all the Ukrainians need to go on the offensive. If the Ukrainians go on quote unquote the offensive, then they have to be willing to take the exact same kind of casualties that through the brags or whatever lies are generated. You've seen with the limited Russian casualties on the battlefield what they've experienced. Why? If you're going to go offensive, you have to accept losses. You have to calculate losses into an action. Now you try to minimize that, but the problem is, no matter what they try to argue, the Ukrainians do not have comparable forces on the field. Yes, they do have excellent weapons for ambush and for a running defense or for pair of conventional operations or unconventional for that matter. But the problem is when all of a sudden you try to shift to conventional offensive. Because that's what you'll have to do. You gotta jump in the vehicle, you've gotta ride with your tanks, you've gotta move at speed down the road. And the very same thing that they're yapping about that supposedly happened to the Russians, if we believe the propaganda that's generated would happen to a Ukrainian force attempting to become offensive. Because remember, the Russians have used beta group units, the Ukrainians are using alpha combat force. That's the best they have which isn't you know again they sold all their crap out the back door so all these Jewish mobsters could get rich Why you got a billionaire president in charge in the Ukraine? How do you think he became a billionaire? They sold all the good shit out the back door. That's what happened So what you got left to fight with well if you decide to go on that offense if you better understand what your combat loss Expectations should be because the Russians have everything that we have and they haven't even used most of it yet. That's the part nobody wants to be honest about. They haven't used the best of the best of what they got. They haven't even used the barely second best. So again, just something to understand is this whole situation and especially when you are deploying or employing resources that you have, you have a lot of responsibility and you need to be thinking things through. I understand the idea of especially Pentagon or again the corporate regime idea of sacrifice. The whole thing that happened down there with Maripole is probably the best example.
