a teacher that I had. Now I only, I went through the seventh grade, I went to the seventh grade. I left home when I was ten years old because I was hungry. I used to do this. I'd work in the summer and I'd go to school in the winter. But I had this one teacher, he was the principal of the Harrison School in Vincennes, 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, what's his name? Mr. Laswell, he says, 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-pity, allegiance, my love and my devotion, to the flag, our standard, O 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, Republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representative 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, my 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. 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 too. For future generations this legacy we gave in this the land of the free and home of the brave The freedoms we secured for you. We hoped you'd always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom is gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave in this the land of the free and home of the brave You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? DILL THE LAND AT THE FREAK! North and Central. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. Good afternoon, evening, and morning to all of our merchant marine virtually around the globe listening in and or rebroadcasting, depending on what they've got for technology. And many other people too, by the way, who have a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside the United States that we are on. I want to say thank you to all rebroadcasters for the work that they do, including our CB Bay stations. It is... Well, it's Thursday. It's the other tea day. It's when everybody shows up for work. It is the 5th of May. It is the 14th year of open, obvious and... Man, you look at the media 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 we shall. Anyway, a couple things here logistics-wise. First of all, I ran into something really interesting, and I've been watching for armored gloves for a very long time, and there are no good prices on armored gloves anymore. They're outrageous. In fact, I'm gonna grab a pen and paper. Anybody wants to do a search for these right now. I'm gonna read off the information here. These are TrueGrip, gel pro monster grip, veil camouflage, are armored gloves. Okay, TrueGrip, gel pro monster grip, They'll camouflage armored gloves. They're just a, you know, they'll camouflage. We have probably put armored gloves. I gave you the description. It's true grip. Now these have the gel, you know, silly squeaking on the finger contact side. They're armored and reinforced. The fingertips are reinforced. The in bar of the hand of the index finger and the thumb. where you grip and you know, especially with pistol grips or if you're doing grip on the fore grip of a weapon, whatever you're working on, doesn't mean you're in. I like these for a couple of reasons. Number one, they're not black. Okay. They went with a brown range of colors for whatever isn't camouflage. And that's one of the most common problems I have. Still kind of dark, but not too dark. A chocolate, maybe a little lighter than a chocolate. But the big thing here, again, these are in the Vail camouflage. And where are they? Well, I got these at Ollie's, which is not very many places in the Midwest, but it is in Indiana. I believe there's an Ollie's in Indiana, so let me in the microphone if I'm wrong. But they're also in Ohio. and they're certainly in Michigan at multiple locations. Ollies, okay. It's a material distress store. They do phenomenal business. They've got some really great prices and a lot of tactical stuff right now. But these, number one, they're a, like I said, a back armor, the back of the fingers, the back of the hand, around the wrist, it's got a little bit of armor, and needless to say, it's a work club, so the reinforcement points are all where they need to be. The veil camo is stupid price, first of all. And anybody who is looking these up, tell me if you want to come up on the air. What is the price that you see posted for these? Again, these are veil camouflage. They're true grip, gel pro monster grip, veil camouflage gloves, armored gloves in this case. Probably make some others, I would assume, I would think. But I do like these. I got a pair A couple pairs, and I should have probably bought more because they probably will not last. Anybody recognizes the veil camo. Now there's not, there's only so much veil camo on this. And it's in the brown range, whereas the balaclobas I got from the same location are in the green veil. Both the camos I really like. Problem is, awfully stinking expensive. So if you can, look them up. Give me a quote. What is everybody seeing those for after if you had to order a pair right now, what would they cost? I'm just curious and again true grip gel Pro monster grip male camouflage armored gloves and They do make them in large and extra large for sure I don't know if they make them in mediums or smalls they probably do but the source I had which was over at Ollie's was large and extra large, which is good, because it can always fit a big one on a smaller person, but it's hard, hell, to stretch something for, you know, that's a small into an extra large. And the big thing here is that they seem to be true sizes. In fact, they're generous, which is the important thing with the cut. If these are seconds, I don't know how. I know that they have been expensive, but a lot of companies having a lot of local hardwares and other businesses going out of business. has determined how much of this stuff is showing up probably as distressed merchandise. So it definitely is a worthwhile item. I do believe in the armored gloves. I just don't believe in paying 20, 30, 40, $50 for them, okay? The average benchmark price being around 22 to 24 right now. Well, they used to be a $10 item no matter who made them. Needless to say, they're all being made in communist China. Evaluation of the current currency, increased transport costs and all the other fun stuff. And the fact that the Chinese cornered the market in millenarian production to the point where they're now doubling, tripling and quadrupling the price of everything. I don't care what it is. And unfortunately because of that regular surplus has gone stupid price too, especially from the DOD, the DOD, which I'm going to talk a little bit more about in a minute here. So anyway, if you anybody got a price, just curious. And everybody might be actually still working on it because you got to go over that app. I know, I know what you got to do. But definitely these are worthwhile. They're in the, you might get a different color. You might get the green range. I really wouldn't care, but I like the brown. Because the brown matches more other terrain features. Black is not a real great color for much of anything. It's great for secret police knuckle draggers trying to froth at the mouth and bark at the unwashed peasant population, okay? But as far as a real tactical color is useful, it's not. It's actually one of the worst. I mean, you could wear white. You know, Stormtrooper white instead of Stormtrooper black. Well, you know, I should forgive me, KGB black. But, you know how it is. Anyway, let's see. Next, I wanted to touch on, and I'm gonna go to material here. The present private contractor that takes care of military surplus is ironplanet.com. Write that down. ironplanet.com. IronPlanet.com. One of our friends was looking for transport and so I just kind of mentioned that when we were talking. They went up on the internet and actually went right to the page. Followed by instructions and lo and behold they found what we're going to talk about here in inventory right now. Now there's tons of these and I do not know where they came from. They're a Chevy minivan. Okay. But here's what we need to do before we start talking about that. Go to ironplanet.com. When you get to ironplanet.com, there's a bunch of little flag images that pop up and ones for heavy equipment. Basically, Iron Planet does big, heavy machinery, but they also got the government contract. And because of that, they have a gov liquidation slash, you know, government surplus section. It would be featuring a Humvee for the image you want to touch. So touch the Humvee and it'll take you to the Iron Planet government liquidation page. Now, once you get there, there are a number of other subsections, but you can search by putting in as a search item Chevy Mini Van or just put mini van. And then what will pop up down below are a whole number of images. And there will be this standard Chevy white utility van. It's a plain Jane, ain't nothing fancy about them. You may or may not have some left in your community. And they're a hell of a price. You'll see what I'm talking about when you look at them. Now some of them, we've seen as little as 180 miles on them, 260 miles, 500 miles. The average for the mid grade were about 22 to 27,000 miles. And then we have seen them as high as a couple hundred thousand, which I would expect from something, especially what this was supposed to be used for. Now this is a fleet vehicle. And all of these vehicles will show up everywhere across the country in different pods right now. And of course, there's a bunch in California right now, some in Texas. There are other states where you're presently being sold. So you don't have to go to another state necessarily to find these, to go look at them. But you don't have to go look at them. Let me remind you something that's cool about the present 21st century. This is one of the few things somebody got, right? Not very much, but they did this time. photo essays of the vehicle. Each vehicle has a separate photo essay. So all you have to do is lift your fingers, do the walking through the internet pages. You get to sit there and you get to go from image to image, pull it up, look at all the sub images, and guess what? You can figure out whether or not you even want to mess with the vehicle. Now there is also a complete technical write-up section. Does it start? Doesn't it start? Does it work? What works? What doesn't work? Or at least it was was it tested or was there no testing done? All the information is there for you to read and it's self-explanatory. Everything you need is there, okay? But there are some interesting things about these vehicles that kind of make me wonder, okay? If you go through all that gov liquidation, you know, our US Department of Defense, this is supposed to be DOD liquidation. Okay, Department of Defense. The vehicles are all from 2008. Okay, well, wait a minute, what were these vehicles? Do you know, okay, what do you want to know what these vehicles supposedly were for? The US Postal Service. Now let me explain to you, I have bought tonnage and vehicles from all over the system for decades and decades. I haven't done it more recently, but I used to do it by the ton, by the dozens of vehicles, okay? Sometimes almost just a little under 100 vehicles at a time where I would do lot bids, okay? DoD doesn't intermingle with any other species of government. The DOD is the DOD, the Donut of Destruction. Okay? The DOJ is the DOJ. The Congress is the Congress. Any other sub-agency, FEMA is FEMA. Hint, the Postal Service is the Postal Service. Now these vehicles were all supposed to be postal service vehicles. What? Yeah, this is rather interesting. Because I have never okay, if you were to go look for the million-mile vans Which they they have sold some of those If you don't know that white van you see that the post office has a bunch of you remember the original name for those When they came out way back when they called them they were gonna be the million-mile van They built them and designed them to be Rebuildable that was the whole stick that the OY boys pushed for buying that vehicle. That it was because they were never going to change the design. It was always going to be the same. All the parts would be simple and interchangeable and they could be maintained for a very economical price forever. Well, a million miles anyway. And it's not uncommon for postal vehicles to have, you know, yeah, 120, 200,000. I've seen postal Jeeps at 300,000 miles on them. They run I mean usually take care of they don't really beat them up I mean, what do they do God deliver rail come back home wash them off in the meantime Park them in the parking lot and then they start the next day deliver mail come back home park more than we ever they're supposed to wash them off and Keys go on the rack So they really have kind of been a real closed circle operation and typically each operator has a Jeep that is his or hers and or or it nowadays the it's might be kind of scary because they probably smell weird and there's feces on the roof inside and all kinds of terrible stuff but Whichever of the the 25 sexes are driving the vehicle they typically go so far right? They just they're very limited That's why it's strange that some of these vehicles have little to no mileage granted. They're part of a fleet, but they're 2008 So how is it that in the DOD auction out of no other postal vehicles have ever shown up in the DOD auction? So the question is where'd the money come from or how were these squeezed into the budget for some other purpose? Everybody goes, what? Well, think about it. Okay, the DOD doesn't share with the post office. The post office doesn't share with, you know, the Department of Forestry, you know, forestry services, okay? This is how it works. They have totally different bookkeeping and they have their own management and they have their own material management. When you buy postal vehicles, they typically are sold at the postal facility where they're stationed under GSA, Government Service Administration Auction. And there's all kinds of vehicles out there. But they're sold differently from the way the DOD sales are. However, here's what's interesting. All of these vehicles seem to be in pods. They've all been brought to one location and each location is an oddball for normal either DOD or GSA depo-ing. Example here in Michigan, we pretty well know where all the depos are. Well, guess what? These white vans are in an odd man out location in Michigan. I think it's rather interesting. Now, they're under the DOD system, they should be under the post office. So that tells me that what happened back in 08 is somehow they wanted to hide a whole bunch of internal policing DOD type of vehicles for police state agenda, whatever it might have been, and we know what it was. So this was a way to, you know, stack the numbers and conceal what was where. Well, it's not a critical vehicle, but it's a yeoman's vehicle, okay? In other words, you have to have so many utility vehicles like this, as I've told you a million times, it ain't just the tanks up front, guys. You know, you need escort pickets, transporters, you need stuff to move equipment around, just little equipment. Now, you don't need a deuce and a half to deliver two crates of spare parts for a vehicle that's down out in the middle of nowhere, or for a checkpoint Charlie operation that's operating the border between Michigan and Indiana. You need small utility vehicles called their Yeoman's vehicles or Yeomanry. They're again utility throwaways. And these vehicles are actually not a bad little package. They are stripped down, they're plane chain. They do have helicopter doors if you're familiar with the sliders. You don't see many of this particular vehicle really out there. And 2008, now let me ask everybody what was happening What took place in 2008? What happened in 08 in the United States? Anybody? Want you to think about that. In 2008, what was happening in the country in these United States? Well, we had an... Yeah, we had a whole... We had a little bit of a depression slash a money crisis, didn't we? Remember that? They foreclosed on houses everywhere, didn't they? In 2008, yeah, the bankers went crazy. They almost burned down Flint systematically by foreclosing on Flint, Flint, Michigan. So why were these... That was Hank Parson and the government's sacks, right? Exactly. Now again, think about why would these vehicles be over in the DOD since they're with the Postal Service. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, but time is, timing is everything. And there's a lot of stuff, especially when they're getting ready to create a crisis that they're going to exploit. Remember what Obama's plan was? What both GW and Obama's plans were? Now, here's another thing nobody's talking about. We go from the Republirat, George Bush, GW, after he gets us into a war, and in 2008, with the shifting from the Republirats to the Demikins, the economy goes completely in the toilet with regard to banking and housing, guys. How many people do you remember from, that's been a few years back now, lost their homes, lost their cars. The banks foreclosed on houses they didn't even have the right to foreclose on. And people had to fight tooth and nail in the court and sit on their property with a gun to keep the skank sheriffs away who went along with the illegitimate actions of the banks. Does everybody remember that? Yeah, Mark, you remember the liar loans? They were giving people in California that worked in gas stations 500,000 dollar loans to buy homes with. They were making minimum wage. And then of course... They were using those as grow homes. Right, exactly. White wash all the windows, bringing all the hydroponics and start cranking. Exactly. So here's the thing. Didn't we just have the same thing happen again? The Republican rat, you know, is in there. You know, Trump was in there for four years, not even eight this time, right? GW was in there for eight years. But Obama came in and all of a sudden we got foreclosures on America, destruction of whole cities. Remember that Obama, and when that happened in 08, the plan that Obama had was to shut down and virtually obliterate 10 American cities. And Flint, Michigan was the first one on the list. And so they completely cooperated with the banks to foreclose and run out of their property as many Americans as possible. This is about the same time while they were ruining the economy then that they had the cash for clunkers program Except they weren't throwing away clunkers people the car companies were were drank the Kool-Aid and were told Any used car that you get in you cut it up. You bust it up You'll get federal money and it'll be a lot more than that used cars worth to destroy the used cars in America remember And those, yes, we got, we just had one here off Michigan Ave in Clinton, Michigan, that only a little while ago, he finally got rid of. Now what year was that? Oh, eight, oh, nine. He, see, they told them, yo, do you have to make the car so that it is not usable? You have to blow out the engine. They actually had them putting sand in the heads or drilling the heads of the cars. And then what they did is anything was acceptable to destroy the vehicle and make it incapacitated. But one of the guys did here. They were sending a lot of that scrap metal with China. Right. Well, that's afterwards. That was after they were done. But here's the thing. They never got the money for the cars they destroyed. I'm going to jog everybody's memory. The reason there was a pile of them next to one of the dealerships. It was one of the big dealerships. They had brought a car crusher in and every car that they had that they wrote paperwork up, they were going to be able to write paperwork up with a Fed. Well, they crushed those cars and had them stacked in a block and it was like they were bragging. Like, look what we did, look what we did. Well, look what you did. What happened is, after they got about 50 of these cars, 50, 60 cars crushed, they stopped crushing cars. Why did they stop crushing cars? Well, it turned out they weren't getting any money. So all these $3,000 and $4,000 or $5,000 used cars that the idiots paid, you know, they gave that credit towards people buying other vehicles. Well that equity that they had they lost it a hundred percent And you know what the reason that stack was still there is I'll guarantee the guy was still trying to fight in court that dealership They were still trying to fight in court that they deserve that money Well guys, Mary Storro has been gone from the government for quite some time hasn't he? Well, no, yeah, yes and no. No, I mean officially I know that yes in reality you're absolutely right. We already talked. He's the one with the pay some attention to the man behind the curtain. Right? He's the technical. Is Joe Obama or Biden? Right. So again, this is why I brought this up about these vehicles in that by the way, these things are going cheap. I didn't mention the price. When they first posted these minivans, guys, they posted them with a minimum bid of $600. Now, the first auction, which has been about a year ago, maybe a little more, they did sell some, but not all of them sold, which is weird. Now, what's interesting is, again, they had They put another batch up and the ones that didn't sell and this time around they had fewer bids and a whole bunch of them were left over. Well, they still kept trying to get a minimum bid of $600. So here's what happened about four or five months ago. It may be, yeah, about five going on six. What they did is they posted them at 600 a month before and then when they brought them back, the ones that didn't sell now they put a minimum bid of 300. Nobody bid on any of them. So then they came up again. And guess what? When they reinstituted them again, and you'll see some of these if you go over to where I told you to go and you do just look at all of these little minivans, wherever they are in the country, the minimum bid on some of them now is $150. What's the website again, Mark? IronPlanet.com. When you go to Iron... I won't play it, Mark. I got an appliance repairman here in the front and he owns a business and he just bought that auction at a different site, an actual postal van, like what you're talking about. It's got a bulkhead between the rear and the drivers. Yes. And he drove to Colorado with his wife on vacation, called a trailer or a dolly or something, and he paid like $2,300 for it back, you know, this over the winter. They took a vacation, two weeks, they went and bought, you know, even that, he said it was a mint condition, oil, and they used it, you know, like... Between maybe in Lake City and k-pack, you know to deliver something from post office to post office Now that was actually a vehicle and he got it. He the whole trip cost him, you know like $2,500 including the vehicle now that's the vehicle Okay to hold on here's the thing the storage site for all of them in Michigan Is right there down the road from you guys really? Yes, and I don't know where it's never been used. We have never seen this site used by the DOD before for anything. No, here's, okay, well hold on. Now here's what you do. If you go through the history section for these vehicles, what you want to do is go back through and find the Michigan. He's going to cry. They're selling these in Michigan. They're selling them in Michigan. They really are. There's hundreds of them. But if he likes it, look at it this way. He may only pay $150 to $300 for it. Okay, so what you need to do is when you get there. That's why I was pointing out. Now this time around, if you go each time these auctions are popped up, guys, I've told you before, this is the DOD, this is run for the DOD, but it's not the DOD, it's a private company, it's Iron Planet. You want to sign in and get into ironplanet.com. You want to get on their list, okay? Then what you do is create a watch on your watch list, tag a bunch of these fans. Now when you do this, when the auction date comes up and it's only going to be 24 hours, uh oh, somebody's really beating the hell out of their microphone there. Okay. Okay, well I'll tell you what, put yourself on mute for a minute. That'll be okay while you're texting. There we go. Anyway, real quick here, what happens is when you put it on your watch list, when the auction date comes up, you will get a notification email. It will list, all you have to do is touch with your cursor any one of the items. And it will pop up and it will tell you what the present bid price is because it's the same image where you see where you put it on the watch list. It'll show the same image and all the information, but it will tell you what the present bid is. Now, here's what's also cool is after the auction is done. You go back to the same email, like say after whatever it closes, and every one of those items when you touch it, it will tell you what the closing final sales bid was. And when you see the prices, you're going to understand why Uncle Mark mentioned these. If you wanted to make up a little fleet of tactical vehicles for support or whatever, or you need vehicles for just like was described because what they were intended for, delivery. These things, if you have a fleet of the same vehicle, they're all built in the 08, they all came off the same production line, they were all made in the same production run. The ones sold in California are just like the ones sold in Michigan. The ones sold in Michigan are just like the ones in Ohio and Pennsylvania and North Carolina and Texas, et cetera, et cetera. So the neat thing is that if you have a bunch of them and one were a problem, you pull it off to the side and use it for a parts truck. In fact, there are wrecks. There have been wrecks that have come through. Well, everybody's why would I want that? Well, how about if you bought four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or 10 of these? Because if you're buying them for $300, if you're buying them for $150 to $300 apiece and you're in the state, there's no cost to get them out of there. Okay, so now what you're looking at is what are you going to do with them? But if you do buy them as a smart play because you know what auto parts are going for nowadays, It would be intelligent to bid $150 on one of the wrecks. Here's you get spare tires, you get glass, you get doors, you get electronics, you get motor parts, you get drivetrain assemblies, and it's all there for $150. You put it up on blocks. And you could even disassemble it, although I wouldn't. I'd leave it intact and keep it just like that's what a hangar queen is, guys. A plane that they, it was flying, but guess what? They had eight planes, but they had one that wasn't the best. So they park the plane that isn't the best in the hangar and park her to the rear. Technically, the plane is still on the combat rolls, but in reality, 80% of the plane is there and a bunch of other stuff is missing because it's on plane number one, plane number 10, number, forgive me, plane number eight, plane number six, plane number five. Everybody got some pieces because that keeps the other planes flying. The same is true with a little fleet of these vehicles. Think about it. Prices on parts are not going down. In fact, that's why Barris a Toro. That's why brought up that cash for clunker stuff that drove the spare parts car market through the roof. Why? Because you go to a when you went to a junkyard during that period, there weren't any cars that went to the junkyard hardly at all because the dealerships weren't sending anything that way. Unless it was a car wreck, it meant that many of the parts that they took off usually were derelict cars where the car was not completely in service anymore, you'd at least get a front end that wasn't crushed. You could get front drive train parts that weren't crushed or bent. You might even get an engine out of the deal, but not when they shred them or crushed them or turned them into scrap metal. And that was not accidental. That was designed to punish the middle and the lower class, because those are the people that benefit from the used car industry. The well-to-do could give a squat less about you with regard to your used cars, although they're where you get a bunch of the better used cars from because they've got more money than you do. But there aren't as many of them. And there are fewer and fewer truly well-to-do people, so there's even less of that used market dropping down or trickling down in your direction. Right? Right. So anyway, this is an interesting proposition. It is over at IronPlanet.com. It is really cool because you never know what you're going to run into. However, prices and everything else are insane. That's the only reason I mentioned that because there are some odd lots of stuff that start out with a bit of 25. If you go over there, they don't just have vehicles. They have web gear, they have Humvees. There's a whole section just for Humvees. There's a whole section just for the Stewart trucks. There's a whole section for web gear. There's a whole field gear. There's a whole section for sports equipment. There's a whole section for medical equipment. If you look at each of those, anything you look at, you can put it on your watch list. And if you put it on your watch list, you'll be able to see what the pricing, where it goes. So if you see a bunch of these field gear bundles for $25, put them on your watch list. Look to see what they go for. Now, it's still a better price for some, but not much. For some of the items, it's still a better price than if you were to go to any of the regular sales sites like Centerfire, Sportsman's Guide, Coleman's, whatever. But in order to do that you have to absorb a larger number of items. So I'm telling this to you people out there who are you know Supporting a militia unit or whatever where you have multiple people or you're trying to set up a 510 program Some of the items would be worthwhile. So if you cherry-pick from what you can get cheap there and combine it with what you can get on sale, mark down or discontinued from all the other parts of the industry, then you can do pretty good. But not much from the DOD is pretty good anymore. Okay, the prices have gone crazy. What used to be pennies then became dollars. Now it's become tens of dollars. And now hundreds of dollars, and in some cases thousands of dollars where the bid never would have been there like that before. So just a heads up on that. And again, some of the stuff you're going to see like, why are we giving Humvees? Why are we buying brand new equipment for Ukraine when if you look, see all those Humvees that are going out the back door at the auction right now? If you go over to Iron Planet where I just told you, why aren't those being sent to, you know, yuck rain instead of the good stuff that we had? We got lots of these other leftovers. Why aren't we sending the leftovers to them? Look at the Stewart trucks. Now one thing I noticed about the latest batch of vehicles the latest stuff that's coming through the auction They've put all the brand-new leftover desert dust parts on that they could they could you'll notice that a bunch of the Humvees have brand-new Desert tan Hoods brand-new hoods a whole batch of them the Stewart trucks are the same way The other parts are missing on some, but in many cases brand new doors, brand new old desert tan as opposed to the Woodland Camel pattern for the vehicle. It's really obvious because they're using up the inventory of parts that were out there, but they didn't do the paint job, didn't do any of the paint work. Probably because they were told, well, we're going to give these trucks. This happens in the army all the time. We're going to give them these trucks, but you're only going to have them for a year, then we're going to pull them from service. What do you mean you're only getting to her year where we're still going to be here next year, right? Yeah So you're gonna take all our trucks. Yeah, are we gonna get replacement trucks? Well, no So we're not gonna have organic transportation Well, no cuz we're gonna have to destroy these we have to sell them because you can't have them Well, why can't I have them they work? Well, yeah, they work and we put all kinds of brand new parts on them, but You can't have them Somebody in the you know, some Jewish guy from Israel wants to steal your trucks out the back door So we're gonna we've got an arrangement and he'll know when they can't then he's gonna Izzy Blatson scene is gonna haul them all the way off to the side But they're brand new parts. So I'll tell you what they don't match Why don't you guys do all the camel paint work and repaint them for us? Oh, yeah. Sure. Yeah, we'll do that We're not gonna keep them. You're sure that right? Yeah, yeah, you're just gonna have them for 12 months, whatever reserve or guard unit that is. And they're like, okay, well, I ain't gonna paint them. We're gonna have them, right? Yeah. Well, who cares how they look? Huh? What's a Stewart truck? The Cabover engine, deuce and a half. Well, what are they? I think they're two-ton? Two and a half ton. There's a whole separate section in there. If you go to Iron Planet, you'll see there's Humvees, you'll see the Stewart trucks, and you've seen them on the road. They're a cabover engine. Now, what is interesting about that? Yeah, the interesting thing about that truck, it's a utility truck that fits the do staff category, okay? Instead of a long nose, they went with a cabover. The interesting thing is that the ones that are still in service, what they did is they took the standard thin-skin cab off and they have upgraded those with armored cabs. Now what's interesting is... I didn't even bother to look because they're not cheap. Yeah, they're... Well, no. Okay, hold on. If you go to the website, the information is there for each one of them. The base bit, the clothing... I'm blind. I don't have computer access, but I am texting this out to people. Good. It's self-explanatory. You'll be able to see. The Humvees are the very upper left corner, typically. Right next to them are the Stewart, whatever trucks. The Web Gear is on the far right. And there's little images for each, little photographs for each subject. The big thing is that those trucks, there's enough of them to outfit a battalion. There are enough Humvees there right now to easily outfit or provide the needs for a battalion strength infantry unit and why they're getting rid of them, they have no excuse. It's your tax dollars being squandered, at least they aren't shredding them and cutting them up, which they do if they could. So instead, they're going out the back door, the base price starting is about $3,600, but none of them will go for that price. Now, here's the other thing, now that I've told you all this. You might want to go to YouTube and punch in, I bought a vehicle from Iron Planet. Now some people have problems, other people do not. But I'm not surprised because, again, Gov Liquidation, which I mentioned years ago because that's who had it right here out of Ohio, they lost the contract and went from Gov Liquidation over to Iron Planet. Now, Gov Liquidation was supposed to not exist anymore, but it does. So if you go to govliquidation.com, there's other stuff there, but it's totally eclectic and random. And I don't know how they, I don't know what's going on, okay, as far as what their decision on this was, because they flat out said Gov Liquidation was going to be completely out of business. But if you go to the govliquidation.com site, There is stuff that pops up there now. So even as they were breaking down that particular resource, they stopped and froze in place and left it running. Iron Planet though has the lion's share of this equipment. They have everything from 10-age right now over in the field gear section. If you want to put 10-age together for emergency operations. Every kind of tentage you can imagine is available. And by the way, a lot of it is closer than you think. Not all of it's in California or in Texas. There's a lot of it in Pennsylvania. And in fact, every state has some stuff at any given month that they're auctioning out. They're selling out from the location where it's stored. And that's what you want to do. That's what you want to find. Where are they storing it in your area? Okay. So it works out pretty well. And again, but it's with a field gear, whatever that's considered perishable. With the vehicles, they issue a government slash federal. It used to be a DOD title, but it may be very pretty. They're actually quite ornate. I have to admit that they're really cool. They look really cool. Look like a stock document, but they do have a certificate that they provide, but we've heard that there have been some nightmares with some of the Humvees and stuff and or with the Stewart truck. So that's why number one, the prices are not where I think they should be. But that's because people don't know any better. And the other thing is that, you know, with the vehicles, there have been some issues. So, with as far as the Humvees and the Stewards, that kind of stuff. Because they're, the government will try, the company will try to, you know, not deliver it to you and that if you don't come to pick it up because you think they told you five days and you think you got six or seven, well you screwed up and broke the contract. And they'll put it back in the auction system. Now when they tell you, you got five days to pick something up, you have five business days to pick something up. Don't think it's this half-ass operation like to see the rest of the world working under because even the DOD was like that Unless you made special arrangement, which you could but you got to talk to them You don't assume I can do whatever I want So that's one of the other considerations about this is you know for instance when I buy tonnage I would buy some situation I buy a third of a warehouse or a third of a storage depot and For 60 $80 I'd buy tons Dozens of tons 29 30 40 60 100 tons of field gear now because of the volume If it was towards maybe 10 to 16 or 20 tons, I'd probably tell you, well, you better get to work because you got five days to move it. But if they were close on the fifth day, they weren't going to be crazy because they knew that you were always good about hauling everything away. So they are usually giving extension. That's from the facility where you pick it up. But you have to make the due diligence to try and meet the schedule. If you're sitting on your dead arse on four days and on the fifth day you go, oh, maybe I should have gone pick that up. And then you don't, then you call over on the sixth day, well, you're gonna piss somebody off. Because you had plenty of time in advance, you went through all the trouble to bid on it in an auction. Well, you have to have the due diligence to follow through on that. And sometimes, like I said, beware, don't bid on 100 items or 50 items because I guarantee some days there's not as many people in the auction system. You might get all of them. I've done that now now I was able to meet my meet the goal. Like I said, I bought 20 30 50 vehicles at a time But you got to move them, you know, it was so many vehicles at a time No matter what you got in the way of a transporter So basically my the method to the madness is I used to actually drive a number of them off-site And what I would do is set up a depot near the base Drop off so many vehicles there and on the last load load up what I knew I couldn't drive away from the area I tried trailer those away with the trailer that I've been moving all the vehicles off-site with Then we'd come back I'd have five drivers with me and we convoy the vehicles back five six ten vehicles at a time I'd make sure we went through them top to bottom check the brakes check all the plugs to make sure the oils there to make sure that everything is in place before even pulled it off the base property and And then you go over it one more time, make sure we didn't miss anything. You have a repair kit with everything that you need for any of those vehicles. And typically you move the vehicles in groups. Like if I had a ton of M Dodge M880 pickup trucks, we'd move those all together. So we'd go get up underneath, check all the lines, do a quick spot check, make sure the oil plug was in place, make sure that I think it was loose as far as pans or anything like that. Go through the inside of the engine compartment, make sure all the wiring is hooked up. Fusible links are something you always want dozens of with a Dodge Ram truck or any of the Chrysler products from the era because fusible links could be scavenged because they were sure to join them in the Army. So you wire it back up, make sure it's ready to go, put some good gas in it and vroom vroom. You go down the road like regular military convoy with a leader vehicle up front, another leader of a tail vehicle and 8-9-10 in between. And you go 45 miles an hour and you look just like any other military convoy going down the road. You get them to where you're going to depot them and then you sort them out by who's going to get them and they go where they need to go to about fit the militia units that we were putting together. I did many, many, many, many, many vehicles that way. Too numerous to mention under many different constructs in the process. Did you ever come as far down south as Mississippi to buy stuff? I've looked uh, a step for sale at Shelby that I was interested in. I can't. Camp Shelby we went down to once but what I came down there for were gas mass components that were brand new in the box. I mean the gas mass they would destroy but spare parts they would not. We had enough, the government has destroyed enough gas masks to provide all of civil defense ten times over. Millions upon millions upon millions of gas masks were intentionally destroyed. In fact, in many cases, they were pulled out of their time seal containers, laid on a table. They'd smash the lenses, cut the body of the mask, and then throw them in a big bin. I bought mountains of those. insanity. Yep, your tax dollars have worked cuz they don't trust you and they hate you. I've said that for years. Nobody can relate to it until you see some of the things we've seen. There was no reason for civil defense not to have taken those and put them in a mine somewhere. What's the worst that's gonna happen? They're stuck in a mine. They're climate control, but they would destroy vast quantities, vast. You would you in fact I have pictures Nancy used to post them of the stuff that I collected the stuff that I I had put together bid on and It's you sick. Hey there. The system is sick. It's all there is to it That's why I have no respect for most of it. It's people are there decent people in it But the whole machine is designed with the thought that the American people are the first enemy The government perceives you as the first enemy period if you don't understand that you ain't got your brain straight It's like the cops taxpayer is the first enemy the criminals. They're like fellow employees Just all there is to it. Good call jump in there. So tell me again How do I I go to iron planet comm how do I find those vans? Go to www.ironplanet.com, go to ironplanet.com. When you get there, you go to the military surplus section. There is a government liquidation section. There are pictures there. One of them is a Humvee coming straight at you. You tag that and it takes you over to the government liquidation section of Iron Planet, which is everything and anything in the way of equipment. When you get to the to the government liquidation section use the search bar and plug in Minivan and what will pop up down below is everything that's in the minivan category for the up-and-coming federal DOD auctions. It's real easy. Awesome. Thank you. You can't add Chevy because these are GMC slash Chevy vans. So but I just do minivan because it looks like that can't everything came up first time. Usually I I just go through the auction in general and if I see that there's one or two posted then that means there's usually a bunch of posted and They have been coming up. I mean they've not run out of these things. They have I don't know how many they have but for the last year and a half maybe two These things have been in the auction sometimes a three four hundred at a time Yeah, I was gonna say you and I talked about this and it was at least a year ago Because it's where I got the time Yeah There's, and again, it'd be a great, oh, you know, everybody's looking for a gas zipper right now, guys. These things are a small minivan with a little, I think it's got a four banger engine in it. So if you're looking for an Econ, I mean, $150 for a fuel efficient stripped down vehicle to drive to and from work with lots of room in the rear. Okay. It's not a big, big van. It's just a regular, you know, economy minivan. But everybody's worried about the cost of this, fuel of that, right? Well guess what? This is about as good as any other thing you can buy, but when you get it for $150, here's what's gonna happen. Your insurance is gonna cost more than the car did. Of course, sometimes, depending on who you are, your insurance does always cost more than the car did. Again, and... I just look at it, it's like, you know, what does it cost? You know what it costs for a rim, for a tire, for a rim for a tire, for a car right now. What does it cost for just one? You realize for a standard black steel rim, you're ridiculous. I mean, seriously. So you got four, you got four rims and four tires. Hell, that paid for right there, theoretically. But you're probably desert in China somewhere, rusting away. Well, there's a bunch of well, no, no, there's a you know, now that's another thing Thank you bring it up One of the things that I have not seen is the support system for these vehicles if there was any Now that happened when we bought the Jeeps we bought the last of what you everybody used to call you know $50 Jeeps in a crate. Well, I remember a teacher that I had now I only 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 and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be... Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God, get the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're also on satellite, say hi to all of our merchant marine operators virtually around the globe, and a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States to include our CB base station repeaters across different parts of the country. Many, many others too. Anyway, it is Thursday. I didn't mention it's rainy, a little rainy. Got old drizzly towards the end of the day here. About the time we started the program, so I got the grass mowed just in time. Mowed all the bricks and concrete and cement that I needed to. Got where it's in and out of the weather and dry, so to be ready for when I start working on another project, either tonight or tomorrow. And more casting and more stuff to be built, making sure we're hardened. Three feet of concrete and stone and rock should slow something down anyway, it is fifth of May it is the 14th year of open and 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 begin. Well, actually it already has. Let's just make sure it continues. Anyway, what I was going to close with from the last hour, we ran out of time. On these vehicles, no matter what you have, first you have the vehicles themselves usually pop up in the auction, the DOD or whatever. After a while, they run out. I mean, the bathtub is only so full and then, you know, circles the drain and boom, that's all she wrote, they're done. When that happens though, towards the end, they actually start disposing of the support systems. In many cases, when they have a fleet of vehicles like this, like these are all 2008 vehicles, they're all the same cookie cutter van, one after another, after another, after another. With that being the case next will be the spare parts inventory When we were doing the Jeeps, which is why I brought them up at the end of the Jeep cycle They were piling up brand new Jeep rims with brand new tires on them 90 to a lot 120 to a lot and 160 to a lot and I paid $90 per lot $90 for oil Well, not even that, $60 in some cases, usually that was about the average bid. For like the 160 count, I'd pay $110. So less than a dollar for what was a $100 tire with a $100 or $50 rim by even the standards then because it was a military cross country all terrain tire. So we made a hell of a deal. I got a hell of a bargain. Okay? That will maybe happen with these because as they run the vehicles down, the spare tires, parts inventory which can include body parts, it can include engines and engine parts. Anything you can imagine can be coming out of the support garage that should probably have been centered for these vehicles. Now, that will also mean that they're not just like in Michigan. They would be in each state where they have a centered inventory site, you know, a place where they can do general vehicle maintenance. Sometimes they would do some contract. The stuff was really remote. They just might do it at a regular mechanic shop. But if a large fleet of them are typically in a location, there is usually a support building for doing vehicle PM and vehicle replacement. part activities, regular mechanics work. Okay. That's worth a fortune. And you can see that the vehicles are not going for very much. So the parts inventory will probably go for less. Now this is very rare because so far that has not been happening with most DOD junk. But again, this is not DOD. This is a weird combination. I believe these vehicles were hidden were purchased for either FEMA or the FEMA Police or Homeland Security and the DOD working hand in glove. And they utilized the concealment location. They used the poster post office and they all cooperated on this. Back in 08, they were busy screwing the country and they were screwing the country big time. So it's not a surprise you'll see these odd mad out things popping up like this. Okay, but it's worth it if you can make the deal and you think you can take the time and it's within reasonable distance. A lot of the stuff is literally in your backyard. You thought it'd be all on the other side of the country, but in each state, there can be one, two, or even up to five different locations where they may have these stored and they'll be selling them locally even though they're in the federal auction through Iron Planet. So just a heads up, enough on that, we've got enough other things to cover. But logistics, logistics, logistics. If I could take that multi-thousand vehicle fleet and make it a Patriot Resource Fleet for, you know, for instance, some light mechanized for, you know, again, soft skin replacement vehicles. The idea is if it gets damaged and it's out in the field, you strip the tires off and pull the batteries, you know, suck the gas out of it and leave it, the horse is dead. But if you can keep using them, guess what? You bought them for pennies, you're not gonna cry having to use them. I know a lot of people who've been, oh I've got an $85,000 all terrain, you know, super shmidlap, super inject, you know, it's got a hybrid diesel, etc. and you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's made by, you know, Hummer of Alia, okay? And yeah, whatever. And it's like the best of the best of the best. First time it gets scratched, the guy cries for three hours. Okay, that's not the kind of thing you want for the kind of work we're talking about doing. You want volume. This is why, like I said, we take those M-880s and Cuck fees and the other four military trucks that we'd be buying in the old Dodge three-quarter tons, then we'd use them. If you go to Liberty Tree Radio on YouTube and go back to our earliest videos, you'll see a bunch of training videos there. you will notice that there is an M Dodge M880. That is one of the many, many, many vehicles. In fact, the Jeep trailers that are behind it, those are some of the Jeep trailers I bought, got them for nothing. Many of them, they got transferred to other units, everything was spread out. But people will look at it and go, that's that thing, it's not the Super Smit Lab 400 truck, it's an old military truck. Yep, you're right, we beat up the old military trucks. That way the really good ones weren't beat up. So we take the field standard M880s that we have, we use those for training operations and for tactical work, and that way we're not putting mileage and beating down the really good stuff that's squared away and ready to roll. Not that that old M880 won't run for us. They walk out to them, put the key in, and boom, that 318 start up every time. So, this is what I've said before, one of the many things you can do. Well, of course, if you want to do a bunch of these, think about this. You can go out and buy a $2,000, $3,000 used pickup truck. Now, down south, you can get a nice pickup truck with no rust, but not a pretty paint job. Well, guess what? And a motor runs fine. She goes down the road. It's just not really the coolest, latest thing. Well, who cares? It's a tactical truck. First thing you're going to do is use house paint to make it tactical. go get some ultra-flat house paint in whatever tactical colors you want to paint the vehicle, use the house paint. Rough up the paint job, cover up the chrome or rough the chrome up, okay, you don't want chrome on the vehicle anyway. And what you do is use the house paint and gun the truck. Cover up the glass, cover up all the parts there and you don't want to get squashed with paint. and otherwise everything should be. You do your base color and then you do the rest of your pattern with whatever you're gonna do. If you're gonna do a woodland camo pattern, if you're gonna do an ambush pattern, if you're gonna do a tree pattern, whatever. And when you're done, cost you, wow, three gallons of paint. and you'll have a lot of extra paint left over to paint something else. So you might as well do a bunch of beater trucks at the same time, or beater trucks, beater vans, spare trailers, and you can tactify all of them. They'll all really look cool because they'll all be from the same family. When you get out on the road, it looks kind of neat when you're all copacetic. That does have a psychological effect on people. and you're not spending a whole lot of money on it. In fact, if you're thinking about using your vehicles for tactical use anyway, I recommend you pick out three ultra-flate. Pick out whatever paint scheme you think you're gonna use. You can buy and keep on the shelf. Ultra-flat, base green or base green gray, and then whatever the other pattern colors you wanna use, loam, medium green, a little bit of black, have those mixed. And then what you do is just leave them on the shelf. Time comes, you got newspapers stacked up over there in a old garbage can. You got some masking tape or painter's tape. Cover all the glass and everything and the rear view mirrors and any working parts like the door controls. And guess what? The grill, the hood, the fenders, the doors, all the chrome, everything gets painted. And when you're done, you're done. Out of sight, out of mind. Tactical. Well, tactical. So again, I just do it on bargain basement because you might lose it. If you lose it, you'll go, oh man, I spent $180,000. Boom. Right through the engine block and she's done. What did you spend on that other tactical truck? You mean the one that's still running there or are you actually used to out to run another half mile? I think he spent $2000 on it. He put a few other scrap parts together off some other racks. He probably got $2200, I think at the most. Oh wow, he looks like he got a boo boo. Is he crying? No, no, he's kinda using the hammer to beat the parts back out. At least it didn't hit the engine. If it does, he's not gonna cry. See how that works? Of course, now other mean things can happen, but I'm just saying mean things on the battlefield. It's an equal opportunity dying time situation. Yeah, that would be a foodie, not a catastrophe. Right, you just wouldn't be like, darn, I'd like to keep this one around. But on the other hand, oh well, let's go find another one. Or better still, let me point out something. I can spend Oh, a couple thousand dollars on a tactical truck and put it together, but I could go over to ironplanet.com and buy five, six, seven, eight, depending on what the bid is. If I get them for a couple hundred dollars apiece, I can buy like 10 of those vehicles and have any three or four for use anytime I need to. And for, again, my support or picket or for especially for my medical support units, those would be perfect little utility support vehicles for any number of tasks. Remember, we're going to be using the ambulances as mobile field surgery. We'll be using little vehicles or escort vehicles for moving stuff around, including people. Number one, we've got fewer eggs in the basket, one basket, but we also have, again, the ability to get more done because we have more vehicles. So this is one of the things to take into consideration with something like this. You could put a little fleet of vehicles together for that support unit or that medical unit, or maybe your communications unit. What we did with a bunch of the old postal jeeps, which have the hard top rear end, the whole hard top body boxed in, You only have the driver's seat. And that's of course in the European right-hand drive, not left-hand. So for the mail mailman vehicles, okay, they're out there all over the place. Well, the whole back end is flat and open. And it's ideal for making it into a radio rig, making it to a CP vehicle. I still got three of them that are sitting there right now. But others, we got a whole fleet. One of our guys, he's passed away. We had a connection for them in Wisconsin. The guy had like, I guess 13, 14,000 postal Jeeps from the Wisconsin postal area. And they're all the CJ type, they're Kaisers. They can be CJs or Kaisers. They have everything from the Pinto 2300 CC engine, 2.3 liter. Or they have the Iron Duke, the old six cylinder Iron Duke. And they also have a Ford a 250 engine, depending on what year they were made. Otherwise, all the parts are fully interchangeable, windshields, body parts, et cetera. So they make a good support vehicle for tactical operations, especially when we got them for, I think it was $160 apiece. And they were still laying around out there. Go ahead, caller, keep it there. Yeah, excuse me. I've thought about doing what you mentioned. buying pickups down here and bringing them up north, I'd expect it wouldn't be hard to find buyers for a decent profit, bringing them up there, would it? Southern vehicles ring like a bell and would sell anywhere up north here where we got sold. The sad part is you're bringing the vehicle to its new, and I've done that many times. because you know you give their vehicle if you were by a 2002 vehicle up here every time you put a wrench to it you got little this sounds like you got little animals skittering all around you what is that it's the flex of rust off the body trickling around your body while you're up underneath the thing if you go down south you walk up put a wrench on it turn it everything stays together and the parts work See, that's why when I see these guys driving these vehicles down there onto the range to shoot up, it's like, are you kidding? A couple times, these little Subaru Bratz, we use Subaru Bratz like rat patrol vehicles. They're like that little minivan we're talking about with four-wheel drive and, you know, an open little back end for a gun station. And so they're perfect for a mobility platform. In fact, if you watch the old training videos, you'll see one of those we hadn't tactified yet in one of the training videos pulling a regular army jeep. Forgive me, a jeep trailer. A guy offered me an old Chevy, I think it's a 79 Chevy Lidow, in great shape. Hardly anywhere, I saw it anywhere. It just wanted, it didn't get in fire. I could barely figure out what that, which, why it won't start. So I think he was asking either 12 or 1500 for that neat little trip. The biggest problem right here, there's not a lot of little trucks that anybody's coming off and especially right now. In most of the car auction inventories, the big vehicles are there, but as far as like the little S-10 pickup trucks, the Ranger pickup trucks, the Dakotas, or like you said, well Chevy loves even older. That's a Jimmy Carter truck. You do understand that, right? There was a big deal, a big to-do, because back in the 70s, guys, I'll jog your memory, we were in a recession. And the Department of Defense wanted to buy a pickup truck because they weren't buying a Jeep. The Ford Muts, they'd finished production and they were trying to get rid of them, okay? So the army didn't have anything in that category of a small utility vehicle and Carter authorized the purchase of 10,000 Chevy loves made in Japan. It's kind of pissed a lot of people off. But the love did get the little Chevy loves did get good gas mileage. You got a great gas mileage. They can carry a nice little load. They were basically the equivalent to a quarter ton pickup truck, which means they're a half ton. at military spec and the Navy got them, the Army got them, everybody had some. They were using them for what I was talking about as yeoman's vehicles. They were designed for doing all the utility junk work, short work, little work. I think they were produced by Isuzu, but I'm not certain. Yeah, well, I think Isuzu, but I believe that you can get a Mitsubishi engine in those, at least two different models, two different engines. And the Mitsubishi engines, they even made a diesel that was a three banger, which I have an example of. I didn't realize it, but it was made by the same company. I have it in the tractor. Three cylinder, they put them inside the Chevy loves, and there were even some put into some of the little GMC counterparts that were actually American made. And guys, they got torqued like there's no tomorrow and there's no, they're stupid small. They were incredibly small. But they also were very durable. And so again, there's a lot of that stuff you will still run into out there and the parts are still available. I wish I could find one of those little diesels. Well, again, they're still out there. You're more likely down where you are than up where we are here for anybody listening if you're down south. That's why I'm saying please don't roll it out to the junkyard. A lot of people go, I want to organize and do this and that and the other, but we're going to go, I got to get rid of Wubble. I've had people like you tell me that on the phone, it's like, you have what? You have an F-150, yeah, it drives, yeah. It's not pretty, it's a field truck and it's like, okay, is it like blown out? Is, you know, the fire is falling out? No. I need a something. It's like you've already got something. All you do is build that up. If you got a vehicle like that, you're willing to shoot it up, then you're willing to put the holes in it you want to. So here's what you do. You take one of those utility trucks like that, you get yourself or build yourself a roof rack right off the bat. Go ahead and bore a couple holes and I normally won't do that in a roof. My dad taught me that years ago. If you drill a hole in a roof of a vehicle, it will always compromise. Always. I don't know what it is. Gravity sucks, number one. And normally the roofs are the last thing to rust on any vehicle. But once you cap a hole in a roof, you will get rust. You will okay, it will break down and it will leak okay So but in this case who cares like I said, you're I got a vehicle you were thinking either taking the y'all I don't like it take it the junkyarder. I'm gonna shoot it up at the range. Please don't take it to the range Pull it over to the side Go get yourself some I-beam and put a murder death kill bumper on the front and put a step murder death kill bumper on the back that you make by just welding the big I-beam to the front and the I-beam to the rear. Weld yourself a winch up front or lock it into place by drilling some holes in that I-beam. Hook up a resitch to the rear so you got a receiver, you got the ability to do whatever you need to do back there. And then armor up the cab. And by the way, armor up the box too. Why not? You didn't care about it. And you know what? Make it look cool. Give it a good camouflage. But do the 1944 Ambush camouflage. I love that pattern. It works everywhere. And there you go. Okay. And by the way, buy some body armor for the driver. Get an helmet for the driver. And congratulations. But there's no reason not to. In fact, it's the best hobby you can have right now is, you know, food is a real good hobby. You should be buying food. That's what you spend your hobby money on. If you've got all the food you think you need, then spend the next part on ammunition. That's a great hobby. Do an ammunition hobby. The next one is a tactical truck hobby though. That should sit in there somewhere. You can do that as you go. And if you pay attention at yard sales, I've got radios. I've gotten light fixtures, I've gotten spare parts to the point where, oh, like oil filters, I just got a plethora of outrageously stupid price presently oil filters for a dollar a piece. Watching one of the resale sites by one of the locations and they have stuff coming in all the time. But fixtures that you need to upgrade the vehicle, all that stuff is out there if you just look around. Before it goes to the scrap yard because it's brand new in the box but people will be stupid and throw it away. Get it from them before that happens and don't even worry about them. Wait, if they wanna get rid of something, I'm gonna say something else. Don't ask about it. Are you sure you wanna get rid of it? Hell with that anymore. If you hesitate and leave it behind, the moment you walk away, the person will throw it away. Will do what they were talking about doing. They won't follow through on whatever you're talking about. Well, maybe you ought to keep it because you know, you you probably want it later. Oh, yeah, you're right. And it's really bizarre how shallow a lot of people are the moment you walk away. Somebody will come over and go, he's stupid. You don't need to. Where are you going to go? You're going to throw that away. Now, the person is usually in their ear doesn't give a shit about anything has to do with that other person. Oh, the life. It's ugly. Get rid of it. Well, or it has to go so what happens is that again if you didn't take it it probably got destroyed So my rule on that is don't hesitate don't think twice and don't worry about the person getting rid of it They've got money they abide if they got to go get it again Right. That's their problem. Not yours I've tried to be as, well, I always am always decent about, but I'm not worried about it anymore because there's too many other things to worry about that if people won't get their act together, then the good thing is that by their malfeasance, you get your act together. So you don't feel bad about it at all, ever, okay? Congratulations, you saved something otherwise might not have been available to us. Get it out of the hands of the dunderhead. Get it out of the hands of the shallow brain. All they have to do is like we see this right now. You've got this really goofy thing going on with first book. Minimizing, you need to get rid of everything. You need to get rid of your family, China. You need to get rid of your furniture. You need to get, there's a bunch of these thinking Jewish communists that are doing this guru thing. And you know what's happening there? Yeah, take it out and sell it. Or just get rid of it. Okay, well, what are they doing? They got a bunch of stupid people that have no idea of heritage. the idiots, you know, again, and well, of course, they also really have no feeling for their own family line or the history of their family. So they're shallow. They're really dim, shallow people. You'll know nothing and be happy. Yeah, exactly. It's what they're pushing. That's really why they're trying to do this where they're creating this infrastructure of stupidity. And meanwhile, I guarantee the China, oh yeah, go out and sell it. Blats and Steens, go to Blats and Steens. Oh yeah, that bone China, oh it's junk, I'm telling you. It's a good thing you got rid of it. I'll give you $10 for it. Next time you walk over to the shop, if you ever do, oh it's like $4,000. Yeah, that's the China you get. It's a lovely guy that making some good shot, but I got some good money on that. I'm telling you. Hey Mark, do you think running RVs would be worth something up there? I can get like three or four per round of $1000 or less. And one big one, when there's almost like a bus for like, looks like 25 years old for only like four grand. Well, okay, the fleet, what I call land yachts, that's what the bus models are, are great for command post where we'd be good for medical support. But also, a lot of people are buying them as nomad housing. The plan is that they've got them on standby and if need be, they go to where their allies are and they aren't putting anybody out, which is not a bad idea. The thing is, okay, most of those, if you've got them down south, if you guys are listening, most of those things are built right here in the Ohio Valley or they're built in Indiana. So when you bring them north, understand that you're bringing them back home. But there's a market for them and usually here's what's really cute. A lot of the used ones here get bought up and taken out to California. If you've noticed, what are they doing out in Oregon? Like in Seattle and instead of Washington or a seat even in California like in Los Angeles. They're buying those, selling their property or they're getting kicked off their property. So they're buying those land yachts and living out of them by parking on the street. The biggest problem they got is that some of them were on their last legs or they're never taking care of them out there. The engine goes bad. They just stay there as long as they can. If they get kicked out of that one, they abandoned it and they go find another one. That's the biggest problem you got is that they're being scarfed up and being hauled out to places like that by people because that's their solution to not having a home. Because they might be able to scrape enough money together for a 4, 5, 6, 8,000, 9,000, or $15,000 land yacht. And they can drive that across the country without any problem, because none of those have any mileage on them. I bought one, it's got 27,000, it's a CP. I kicked myself in the rumpus because bizarre matrix. I almost had a second one exactly like the other one. It was from those 1990s MJTF funding operations. And so for a change, we benefited from that. Okay, our enemy was using it, but we have acquired a lot of that stuff. So yeah, that would market anywhere. That would just market down here. But again, down south, it'd probably be in much better physical condition. Biggest problem with the land yachts or any of the campers or like that, they're committed instead of being like, say, fifth wheels or tow trailers, is that the cargo bins rust. That's what you want to look at. Get up underneath there and look to see how the frames for the undercarriage cargo bins look. Now up here, they rust. But you know what? There's a whole industry that rebuilds those separate from the camper industry. There's companies, it's all they do. We got to call her. Who do we have? Hey, this is Carl in Virginia speaking of campers. Why is it we never heard of the formaldehyde poisoning with the campers until FEMA got their hands on them? Yeah, we never did have that happen with anybody else. That is true. The only time that happened is when good old FEMA did whatever contract with what looked to be a deliberate air stream knockoff. I don't know if they were actually Airstream or there was another company wasn't Airstream but they were they were like the sister organization sister company and they built it as these were all that design and I think they were the the knockoff I don't think they were actually Airstream but no you never had anything like that with anybody else that built the camper And again, you'd hear about it. I'm right in the middle of the area where those are all done. I'm just on the northern edge of that. The Marlette used to do all the cabinets right here in the bottom of Washtenaw County and the upper end of or come on, well, was they were all over the southeastern part and bottom of the state of Michigan. And all these different companies made all the parts and some of them were assembled here, but most were assembled down towards northern Indiana or middle Indiana and also in Ohio. The big buses are typically, repeat, you just went fuzzy all over the place, repeat. My land is in Sanalac County, that's just north of me. Right, that's one of the other companies that yeah, they moved they did move originally they were in the Tecumseh Adrian area mostly in Adrian, but those those sites closed down they went north and they also went south So they have more than one facility Marla. That's quite large. They're big operation. They're still a big operation used to be though. They were more into 100% natural hardwood I got I used to pick up trailer loads of the oak trim because they had their own trim manufacturing. And you could get oak trim angles, quarter round, whatever you can imagine for free. You just load the trailer up. I still have probably 100 pieces of trim that are oak from that era, sitting in storage right now. But anyway, that's a sidebar. The big thing here again, the land yachts, typically if you look and if you pay attention, now, Fars book slash Facebook had a lot of stuff like that. Many of those, the only thing I would consider as a problem is a lot of the newer ones have fold outs or roll outs. Now, that sounds like a really neat thing, but what do you think the first thing that's going to fail on something like that, if you got it, is going to be the motors? It's kind of like when you get a Cadillac. Cadillacs are great as long as everything works, but the first time that the motor goes out in the electric window way back in the day, dudes, you paid $400, $500, $600 for the replacement parts to fix the electric window, you know? Yeah, and those slide-outs on the RVs and the trailers, it's generally a screw-type device. I've seen now twice that I had two of them going down the interstate with those extended. It was fine as well. Right. Well, and the thing is that, well, it just creates more wind resistance and fuel consumption. But the big thing is it's a mechanical failure issue with either A, either the hinging or the worm gear itself is a fail. Probably usually it's the retainer pin, usually shears. But the other thing is motors, the motor itself. I mean, where are most of the motors come from nowadays, guys? They don't have a manual backup? It's terrible. I'm sure they do. Well, no, they might. They might. China. But you know what? Yeah, China for the motor, so or Mexico. And what do we know about that? Well, you know how that works. But yeah, I would I would think, OK, now that's a good pull. The mechanical backup, that would be my choice. What it would be is just a crank system. You know how that is. All you do is lock your lug wrench to it. It's got an armature that takes it out away from the body of the vehicle. All you do is crank it like you would a little monkey machine. You just harvest it to a cordless drill and zip it out that way. I think that would be great. But they don't have it. Right, but it better be a torque wrench tight, or not torque wrench, it better be an impact wrench tight drill. Which I got one of the vehicles it's 12 volt and it does pretty good I really can't complain about it for it's for just in case If I wasn't there Nancy could change a tire with You know right off the 12 volt battery in the car And it would work just like you were saying, you hook it up that way and it's like your auxiliary motor drive rather than the Armstrong drive. The other thing is always have backups to backups. This is the same, this is what military vehicles, you know, they used to be built. I don't know what they're doing now. I wouldn't count them doing anything right anymore. I figured they'd pay one big cluster screw. But the advantage of the land yacht would be for rear area support and medical is where it would really be useful. I bought for about $2,800 mobile dental units from the University of Michigan years ago. In fact, now they're sitting to my east a little bit. They were to myself, but they move around. And what I didn't even know that U of M was doing this until I saw these at property control, but they have a program. Most colleges that have a medical program have a volunteer program system set up for the summer. during the off season for school. And if you're an intern, you volunteer to go out and do either medical or dental work. Well, this was a dental unit, kind of like a mobile school library bus. They're full-sized land yachts, regular buses. And the x-ray room is in the very back. And then all of the rest of the thing is wide open, but it's two separate full dental stations with full chairs, all of the air, everything there on board. In fact, the one that I bought had half of the medical supplies still on board. Had all of the drills, had all of the bits, it had all of the like packings and everything you can imagine. Literally talked about it, I got it for about 2800. By the time I was done, in fact, I think between the taxes, it drove it up around 29 something. But for that price you got a vehicle you can walk you walk into just like you would a bus It had a secondary entrance, which was a gantry in the rear There was another entrance because the x-ray room the little x-ray room has to be completely lead armored and The x-ray cannon or the x-ray gun and everything came with the unit. So I have literally a mobile dental office With everything you had more than 2900 in the equipment they left in it. Oh, the x-ray, well the x-ray was by itself worth that. Well many times that. The x-ray machine. And then on top of that, again, the dental chairs plus, but the thing is, what they did is they wanted, every so many years, they have to buy new ones. Not because these were worn out, but because of the code for vehicle safety. So it doesn't make any difference if they ran 200 miles or 2,000 miles or 100,000 miles. It was a matter of how many years old and so every two years they had to buy a new one. Two new ones because they have two of them at a time. They also have a little fleet of hospital buses that do the same thing. They're just little mobile clinics. So those are floating around out there somewhere guys. You find if you have a large college university, they probably have a similar program. And if you pay attention to their property disposal like we've done, we have picked up both the ambulances. We've picked up the dental offices in the past. We've picked up the field hospitals. That's another thing I'm watching for right now because again, like I told you, the big thing is we need medical and support units. We have gun units up the wazoo. We've got an army. I mean, how many people do we have out there that literally are armed to the teeth beyond anything the government owns? Okay, so the gun units. Yeah, the gun unit is not the issue for all of you listening right now. The important thing is keeping the gunner alive. So it's medical support, it's logistics transportation. Those little yeoman vehicles we're talking about being re-tactified so that they were a little less observable would be great for, again, rear area transport of material. We have something, we don't want to have a big pile of stuff in one vehicle. Now we've got five toners, we've got deuce and a halfs, we have ten toners. We've got fuel transporters. We've got the the big Oshkosh vehicles. You ever see one of the big Oshkosh multi wheels? No, we've got a bunch of those. We bought them. You know, they were bought back when they were first came out when they were getting rid of them out the back door. Those things went for as little as eight thousand dollars apiece for a two hundred eighty thousand dollar truck. Now, when you go down the road, you can just run over people with that stuff. But the thing is, it's also one hell of a sky pilot target. So that's why again, smaller rat pack tactical vehicles guys are a better choice. It doesn't mean we aren't going to use the other vehicles because of their terrain performance. Okay. But the smaller vehicles again, what does a rat pack care if one rat dies? Now we're not talking about just not caring about you dying. It's the idea that if you have 20 vehicles and they're saturating an area and you lose one, well 19 out of 20 made it. That was the idea behind having all those little Toyota pickup trucks over there in the mid-east. Yep, same idea. Yeah, tactically dispersed. Yeah, tactically dispersed is better and much better. They can hide. What few places there are to hide, they can hide better. Now, it doesn't mean that, you know, even with armor, okay, you know what's funny? On the one hand, when I talked about this before, everybody was like, well, that's crazy. But they're yapping about, you know, in Ukraine, that they're using anti-tank weapons, of course, against full armored formations. Well, how are they getting them there? They're not walking. They're using light tactical support vehicles in rat patrol, rat pack type formations. They move them forward and then they utilize the weapons to the best of their ability. Everybody does this. But because they had all their stuff stolen by the old Jewish president there who is now a billionaire, with all the stuff that he and his other Jewish buddies sold out the back door, that's why they got to use those little pickup trucks. They had all kinds of other equipment. They all got ripped off. That's what happened. Got ripped off and sold under the table. Until we start providing them with new, again. Oh, and again. Oh, and again. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. The Fast Attack Vehicle concept was perfected by Potsky's private army in North Africa and then later in Italy during World War II where they were using little American Jeeps and taking them on sheep trails, not Jeep dress, sheep trails in the mountains of Italy and going anywhere they needed to and were in places where nobody ever thought the whole vehicle could go. They're highly successful. Those are Dragoon vehicles. They can go places and through areas that most all other big vehicles can't for if no other reason because think about how many how many tree stands and places where they can go straight through as opposed to having to wiggle their way across or around or take a you know, take a roundabout path to get there. Guys, tanks are not bulldozers. This is the other most common stupid misconception because movies reinforces we've got a tank can go through anything. No, that's not true at all. In fact, trees are a phenomenal way to slow down tanks. And if you've got a whole forest of trees, you don't just plod your way through it. In fact, ideally, they have to worm their way through, which makes them great, let's just say, anti-tank magnets. Because everything and anything can be used, and they can't typically compensate with their weapon systems. So, again, small dragoon type units put together. And again, understand a dragoon is infantry that are heavy. So your four wheelers are useful until they're not, and then you're willing to abandon them. Because leg infantry can go places all vehicles cannot. Just something to think about and again that little four wheel vehicle how many ways in fact you go go to Facebook right now go to Craigslist and punch in ATVs and Look for use now this time of year everybody wants them Okay, but now everybody wants them all the time now because everybody's using them as a cheap vehicle to move around in But you've got some really nice, you know, Yamaha's, etc. that are the bigger models. They're already set up as hunting rigs and they've got racks and everything on board ready to go. Plus they get a trailer hitch. You always put a trailer on every vehicle. You can always dump the trailer, but if you don't have it, it's kind of hard to pull one out of your arse. So anything you've got, any tactical vehicle systems you put together, you want a counterpart trailer for each one of them. In a military situation, even that little four-wheeler, in fact, think about this way. Just for running down a dirt road or a paved road, that little four-wheeler can pull a quarter-ton easily with a decent trailer or a half-ton, and it is used as a short prime mover. It can move a lot of stuff, but when it gets to the other end, it drops the trailer, picks up another empty one, and goes back. You don't worry about whose trailer you've got, because it's wartime. And there's no licensing, and there's no paperwork. So you'd pull a vehicle up, drop the trailer. You don't even unload it. You just drop the trailer, hook up the other emptied trailer, and get the hell out of the way before something comes in and visits you like a mortar round. See how that works fast everything is fast. It's like you're in the Indy 500 your Mario and dreading You got to pull into the pit stop or take your pick of any other driver still doing the same thing Okay, doesn't make it as what era or who it is The other thing here again is spares in all perishables And that's why, like I said, these little vans that started this conversation. If the wheels come out, you know what I do? I take that little bastard, put a frame on it. Oh, well, here's what you do. You put a frame on it. If I want to make it into a tactical fleet vehicle, I would, A, buy as many of the tire bundles as I could get. Then I break out my tubing bender. Then I would make a rack for the roof that would be a tactified rack. You can build them or you can buy them. Take your pick. You put a set of lugs together so that you can lock down one of those tires up on the roof. But you put the lug frame, the lug plate on the frame, they don't bolt it to your roof and put more holes in the roof, okay? Then I'd make a, not so much a push bumper, but a protecting rack with a V on the front with a better bumper, change the bumper out from what's there. Or just go over it, but I put a V up front and I put another plate up there and I put a spare tire up in front of the vehicle. And then you also have your regular point where the spare tire is carried. If it's missing, I put one there. Usually that's up and underneath. It can be either inside, coming from above, down and in, or it's locked up from underneath. If that's the case, you get up under there, you scrape everything off, clean it all up, replace whatever needs to be done. Put a new retention plate, make sure that everything turns and spins the way it's supposed to. Grease the hell out of the lug nuts that you use to lock it into place, whatever system you have. It can also be just retained with a clamp. And congratulations, you have three spares on board for a tactical vehicle in the field. You want to throw another one up on the roof, do it. You got four spares for four tires used. Now, in a combat situation, that's very useful. Now here's the other thing, you may not use those or you may decide you want to lighten the load. Fine, when you get out there in the field, you establish a control point, you drop two of the spare tires, now you've got a little bit of a depot. If need be, you can recover the tires anytime you can. Otherwise, it's kind of hard pulling them out of your rumpus if you don't have them. Tires will be damaged, that's why the government doesn't even throw away a tire with a hole the size of your thumb. They'll patch that in the field and make it work. And in fact, it's part of the job for the people to run automotive. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Mark, in one of my friends we were talking about when the, we have to deal with these Chinese in-route or UN peacekeeping vehicles. What's the wait? spot on those things where we're not going to have Russia giving us javelin rockets and stuff. So what could you do with just one of these armored APCs or in-wraps, whatever they're called? Well, the in-wrap types, almost all of them still are based upon what they are, semi-truck tractors. If you first of all, I believe that the the MRAP that we built the one that we did was a last legs model It was very unpopular. They couldn't sell the damn thing, but they had a production line for it So what they did is basically they got the low bid and once they got the low bid They they formed it around the existing motor train that they had available Now that's done all the time with armored cars, so that's not new. But what they did is, they claimed they armored this and hooked up that. The undercarriage, the axle components are vulnerable to 50 caliber. And there is a compressor pumpkin, I believe this compressor hydraulic. It sticks down as low as the axle. In fact, it's exposed from three sides. It can be seen from three sides of the vehicle. You shoot for that. You fire for that it's not armored if you do that the vehicle won't move it'll lock up vehicle literally will shut down It's a cheap kill. So the MRAP if you put it Go ahead. I'm just gonna ask you to put enough fire on one of those things would would are they impervious to like multiple mall top cocktails or Well, fire is still be good no matter what no fire is always good remember that fire burning is always good there I know they've done a bunch of videos on YouTube or Molotov cocktails effective against tanks Well telling a guy or a gal who's never been in combat that you're gonna go to war and I'm gonna give you Molotov cocktails a screwed-up world and the people in charge need to be shot But as far as using gasoline jellified fuel always always it's useful Yeah, well you can combine it. Yeah, you can use either willy peat, you can use thermite. Again, there's a couple of different neat tricks that can be done. The more urban or built up an area is or any place that's wooded. It is very easy to set up from above. Basically, gravity pots that you just drop without you having to throw anything. That's why I love when I try to save all the one gallon, Mogan David or one gallon vinegar glass bottles I can find. You hook those up with a quarter piece of quarter twine or again, parachute cord. You hang them from above in the trees on a road net. You stop the column and basically wherever anything lines up, all you have to do is have somebody off to the side, out of sight, out of mind. You give them the, you know, they observe and if they're in line with it, all they do is let go of the cord and the thermal activator that you put on board or the capping system you put on board, and there's a number of different tricks. The thing drops down from above, it shatters, disperses the material and flames. uh, jillified fuel is typically enhanced with magnesium or magnesium aluminum, you know, magnesium alloy. Uh, that magnesium aluminum typically used to be found with mag wheels. It was always argued we do is, you know, watch for people who bought real mag wheels. You would take and shred those down and add that to the enhanced fuel, which is a combination of low burn, high burn. Now, if you have thermite, then you want to make sure that you have an effective activating device. And if you lay it from above onto a deck, once it starts to burn, nobody can stop it. Lay it right over the operator's position. Yeah. I can't drive. Yeah, if people who think they're going to catch fire have a tendency to leave. Don't you think also, should every wind report they have, every antenna, any kind of a- Absolutely. Well, that's the standard policy I've talked about before, where again, remember World War II policy was everyone engages the armor. And it was under the argument and it is still sound today that anything on the outside of the vehicle, first of all, it's the government. They wouldn't put it there if they weren't grudgingly having to do so. So remember that if there's anything hooked up on the outside and you can do damage to it, it's going to be detrimental to whatever is trying to use it on the inside. No matter what, antenna pods or antenna hubs or masks. In fact, with optics, I would go so far as, remember, for instance, if you're in an urban area, I would try to find whatever, not latex, I'd try to find oil-based house paints. And I'd have people whose sole job if they're moving down through a neighborhood or down a relatively narrow area or an area where I could bag them, you just drop that paint onto the tops of any of those vehicles. No, is it gonna burn? No, is it gonna blow up? Nope. But have you ever had to try and clear dried oil based paint that's been working in every crack and crevice and on anything that looks like it's useful? It's a mess. Everything helps to debilitate. And the thing is that while that's happening, you use the paint and there's all kinds of things they show you where you take a risk. Guys, always remember gravity sucks. Take advantage of it. You don't have to be standing right there. All you got to do is be able to take advantage of height against the target. And you can either lob it in or you can drop it down on them or better still like I said, use cordage and you line it up so that whatever's underneath there, it drops onto. Now you don't wait around to see how it worked because it was your job just to do that one thing and you leave. Okay, always remember that. Each person, you have a single task. Don't just keep standing there waiting to be a bullet magnet. What you do is you fire and forget. If you've watched what you were supposed to launch, if it's a fire and forget weapon like a shoulder fired weapon, or you're gonna drop a jillified fuel gallon jug out of a third floor window, the moment you do it, you don't look to see what happens. You're already in motion when you dropped it out the window, when you put your arm out and let go. You're already gone, your butt should already be turned around and you're moving towards your planned evacuation point. And you're moving to your next location that you've just been designated by your team members, whoever's in charge. But you're not sticking around. If you launch an anti-tank weapon, you don't stand there and watch to see what it does. Piss on that crap. You did your job. You're more valuable getting out of the position, you know, in other words using terrain covering concealment Get to the next position pick up the next weapon which was waiting for you and do what you did the first time a second time That is the most common mistake made we're not you don't did that's why they say well It's a few resist because you're gonna do this and this first of all think about it this way once you shot it You can't reuse it So it's done. Most of the weapons that we have are castaways. So once you fire, you unask the AO. Always remember that first. If you've been given a task to take a 50 caliber round and put a bullet on something and I told you, just do one. I don't want you to think, well, I can do more. No, you get your ass out of that position. Why? Because the technology of today. is geared towards follow up on what they consider to be an idiot target. Okay, that you're just gonna guarantee to stick around and wait to be the bullet magnet they want you to be. So, Mark, if you- What, what, what, those five gallon buckets of latrine waste, wasn't that a good time to enter them out of the high-rise housing project? I'd be saving them up. You know, that would be miserable even if I mean think about it. This is true This is all stuff that this is how you need to think about it guys. Do you know that would get into everything? No, it won't leak out of the vehicle But well it might but you gotta climb out of it on top of that. Oh, yeah Well, no first of all everything what imagine what's like to come out of something that you've you've had parts shred on Shriered because you've done damage Nothing is safe. Everything can hurt you It's contrary to what everybody thinks, you know, I know that we're impervious to that, you know, if you're a treadhead. No, all this garbage builds up. It's cumulative damage. And it's also the organics, you don't have to get to the organic inside to do so much damage that the vehicle is, you know, is significantly lessened in its performance. Now, the big thing is, again, you have to have the same aggressive attitude that the enemy has, you know, it's coming at you. We're not there to die, we're there to kill him. We gotta be willing to sacrifice. No, no, no. Our job is shooting scoot, shooting scoot, shooting scoot. We're not even trying to hold a piece of real estate necessarily. We've gone in hunting them. Your mission is to do as much damage as you can and then break contact and fight another day. You want to make that other guy die for his cause. That's right, and congratulations, I'll send him a certificate. You know what I mean? In other words, wow, great job, guy. Great job. Now, we just want to repeat it. We'll have to write it in Chinese, though. We know that. God bless our Republic. Death to the New World Order. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night. Mupra, give me the down-hard. Don't let it get back up. Remember, let nothing but a rumor of their destruction return to where your enemy came from. Annihilation. is the mission. Pretty young wait for now. We've got Ted taking over. We'll be back at 8 o'clock with the Indians over for a gun blast. Bye bye. It's called taxation without representation, and it's not fair. But when the Pines complained, the King said, I don't care. Tax our cup of tea, to put it kindly. And this harbor into the biggest cup of tea in his, they wanted no more mothering. They knew the time had come for them to take command. It's very clear you're being backing, no matter what you say, we won't go lusia now. a teacher that I had I went 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 I work in the summer and 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-pity, 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 Republic a state in which sovereign power is invested in representative 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, 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 too? A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and 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 will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for 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'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? still daylight. Oh my goodness. We are turning in the world, aren't we? Good. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report timer. A closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines and occupied territories. Southwest, north, northeast, east. Gentlemen, you were listening to us. LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite once they hide all of our rebroadcasters and listeners in the merchant marine across the globe and many many others. We're also on a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Thursday, it is the 5th of May. We're still into the Soviet May window for the May Day glorious May Day parades of the Supreme Soviet of Washington DC and of course Beijing and you know also, you know, don't forget Tel Aviv. Anyway, it is the 14th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with the K. 2022 old earth calendar 2022 battle for the republic the dance of swords the dance continue remember footwork blade footwork blade footwork hack chop chop hack blade footwork okay remember that Anyway, it is Thursday. It has been a very busy week and it's already Thursday. We're heading towards weekend. Wanna say hi to Camp Emmerich, Camp Emerson, and Fox camps. We have micro-fems active there tonight because we have advanced parties there. So you guys that are playing DJ, well, working as a DJ. Some people volunteer for a couple hours, some want to do it all night. And of course, other people usually sit in and they have to take a bathroom break, step away, somebody else takes over the board, it's kind of cool. But you do have to sign up for it, so you gotta remind you that if you're gonna run the micro, you're committed to it for the window of activity you choose. And the micro-FM's are run all the while that our facilities are open. That gets everybody used to the idea of using the AM and FM micro facilities as part of the integrated command system when the time comes. And remember on the micro FM and AMs you can send out messages to everyone and everyone will receive them that has an AM or FM radio. So it behooves you to carry little micro or little pocket AM and FM radios for reception no matter where you are. They are a useful tool. It will be one-way communication, but guess what? Everybody can get it and it's omnidirectional, so nobody knows exactly who received it. Which is really cool. Anyway, it is Thursday. A couple things. I'm going to bring this up again. Guys, this is a deal. It's here in the Midwest, Michigan mostly. There's a few other stores, but always. It's a distressed merchandise store. They have some really good prices on a lot of stuff, and there's been a bunch of tactical items showing up. Now some of those are leftovers from the Corona Beer Virus scam. For instance, I got some balaclabas that were in the Vail camouflage, which is outrageously priced. But I bought up every last one of them they had. I doubt they're going to get any more right away, but they were with the rest of the stuff that was bought and put on the shelves for face bra coverage or whatever. but they're great tactical items. I like the camo, which is the price is outrageous normally, but right now these odd items are showing up. Now those balaclavas were in the green range. But what I'm gonna bring up here, these are in the brown range, which works with any season, especially right now. The brown veil camouflage. They are, if you wanna look these up real quick, give me an idea what your spot checking the price for out there, but these are true grip, gel pro monster grip veil camouflage armored gloves. So true grip gel pro monster grip veil camo. Probably if you just do that, it'll be enough. What are you seeing as a recommended price for these? And or I should say, what are you, what are they being offered for? Now, what I like about these is this is the brown camouflage range and for change, us is rare. They actually did everything in brown chocolate brown medium brown. So it's not in that black, you know, here I am shoot me color or you know anything like that. They have the armored backhand. They have the armored forefingers including reinforced and bridged. They have the fingertip reinforcements. They also have the inboard strap on the index finger and thumb where you grip, where you rest, for instance, say pistol grip. And needless to say, they have this grip system, which is a grid gel grip system. and they work. It's true grip is the name of the pattern. Now the only thing, and I'm going to test this, which I haven't yet, is I noticed that the stitching is a little lighter color. Now on the leather and on the back of the hand and also anywhere else where they're stitching. Now I'm gonna have to break out the IR lights and we're gonna find out if this is luminescent. I also have to do it tonight because I'm gonna do it with white light. And what luminescent? Yeah, well just a few little strings being luminescent, be enough to get your ass shot. Know what I mean? So on the one hand they made these camo, but it's kind of strange that they went with what looks to be a very light colored thread. Now I still buy these, okay, because All I need to do to cover that junk is a brown Sharpie in a few minutes while I'm watching a movie tonight or something. And I'll just sit here and dot all these light colors so that they're gone. But also before I do that, I'm going to test this with white light outside after it gets dark. I can't do it right now. We still got sunshine outside. We're headed towards a rat sunset, but it's bright out there. So I've got to wait until maybe way after 11 and I'll get it outside. And I'm going to set it out there on the tree at about 50 yards. And I'm going to hit the white light out there and see if it shines like a Christmas tree where those little threads are. And I'll also experiment with the ultra bright lights that we have, the ones that we actually offered. Remember the monocular with an LED illuminator. So I'll let you know, but I would still buy these for the price. I heard a ding and I heard a voice before we farther call to jump in there. What do we have? There we go. We got you. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I wanted to go back to, uh, something y'all were talking about yesterday in the last hour. I was trying to say, uh, get a comment in but I guess my headphones weren't working right but when you were talking about the 6A and all of the things that have gone wrong with it I was watching one of the youtubers kind of you know the guru types and he was going over basically a lot of the same stuff that you all were going with over yesterday but he came up with a good point Another good point was that, you know, the military or the armies or Pentagon, everyone would call it, their idea of this is not only for, you know, to out distance, you know, longer range than the 556, and they would need to be able to, they want to be able to use that accuracy because it's supposed to be more accurate and it's supposed to have longer range. But he said there's a problem. He said the problem with that is that the military right now only trains their troops to only shoot out to 300 meters, pretty much. And the problem is if they're going to shoot a rifle that has the capability of going out to 6, 8, 9, 1,000 yards, I think the thing about 1,200 yards of supersonic. There's nobody there, the Army doesn't have anybody to train to shoot those distances anymore. They haven't been seen in World War I. They train these guys to shoot, but they're conventional, you know, with their infills in Springfield to shoot out to 5, 6, 7, 8 depending on your You know how good you are your capability you were trained out to eight a thousand twelve hundred there executed twelve hundred yards with iron sides I mean Here's the problem, you know, the only people that can pick it up are people in my age bracket or more private shooters You do realize think about it I've said this a million times Tex-Mex over and over again who has had the time if you you have we have the largest army on the planet with greater proficiency of arms than any military counterpart and mass. How many shooters do you think we have? Let's allow for, there's a certain number that have a gun but would never lift it up and use it, right? We know that. But how many, pick a number of how many people you think actually, A, have a gun, guns, many guns, and B, would be more than willing to use them. Let's pick a random number. No, just a guesstimation. You're not going to get beaten out in this class. Mark doesn't do that. I'm not like a public fool system teacher or the kids will be sitting there with you. Just pick a number. Go ahead. How many? I don't know. Ten, maybe? Okay, let's go ten million. Now, of that ten million, think about this. You shoot a lot, right? Yes, I do. I shoot competitively and, you know, and, you know, and... For personal... Yeah. And for personal joy, okay? Personal joy, yeah. Believe me, I'm not making anything out of this. My thing, when you say I'm divorced. How many? Yeah, but no, no, no, no. My point is this. There's a whole bunch of people like you that show up, and they are pretty proficient, including yourself. The fact that you are out there using your weapon. Okay, in the competition, you're limited by what the competition requires. But when you can get to a long distance range, you use it, don't you? Yes, yeah, yeah, okay now I grew up where we let me give you an example We talked about the 50 caliber rifles the group that I know Some of her dead now. I would say out of say 60 guys 68 68 guys that I know that were builders of rifles I mean they built from scratch or they they could they were armors in the military Of those guys, most of them, like the one, what I've told you before, first time I shot a .50 cal that was privately made, the guys' arsenal and armory was on the second floor of a classic farmhouse. And the peak, at the back peak, there was a window that had barn door, it had barn, well, actually it had regular shutters. But the doors were built the same way where the windows should be and there was actually windows in the doors. But you swung that out and his shooting platform was on the second floor. And with that 50, our engagement range started at 1000 yards. Okay, he had at least 100 students. Myself, I was interested, but I was never a student like the people that I know he taught. All of them. developed either like the big heavy 338, 338 when 475 Holland and Holland 460 Weatherby Magnum Browning 50 caliber. And we also had a whole shitload of 20 millimeter Lottie guns. Now all these guys used to come out on the weekend in different homes and we had different types of ranges. But the back 40, the back 500 acres of the section that he owned, it was his impact area, okay? Now guys, let's just figure if we had 10 million people that are pretty serious about going to war, I would say that one out of six are that kind of shooter. They might not be doing 50 caliber on a second floor window in a farmhouse, but they probably go out mule deer hunting. Talk to a person who mule hunts out in the Rockies, and ask them what their engagement ranges are. And the same is true with shooters down in Arizona. When I was down in Arizona, I could have shot pig all day, but you could also shoot deer most of the season. Most of the year was a season back then. And guys shooting ridge to ridge across a depression that was 800 to 1,000 feet deep. And the shot was probably about 1,000 to 1,200 yards. Well, there were guys doing those shots with two 70s. 30-06, 300 wind mags, and they did it every day. They packed deer in from the ridge, from the Hachuka range, take it down to the butchers in the valley, and they trade them pound for pound to make deer pig sausage. You bring in the wild pig, they trade you for the deer meat. You bring in the deer meat, they trade you for the wild pig. And then they'd build up, they'd do cases of sausage. Well, these guys love that stuff and they also had a market for it. So there were some people that made a whole business out of doing that. And they didn't want to chase the deer down, but they could only get so close because the deer were kind of like Geronimo. They knew the terrain. So you had to take them at whatever range you could get a good beat on them. So we've got Americans like that all over the country that are the ones who could pick those guns up right off the box and make them do what they're supposed to do. That's 700, 800 yards, and they're saying out to 1300. At 1300, that's where you're high end, obviously proficient riflemen, the people who are very, very much into mental math, brain math while they're firing. Those people are out there and there's a lot more of them you might think. In World War I, we even taught shooters how to do defilade, or forgive me, reverse slope fire, okay? Like you would with artillery, where you put the whole unit on the reverse slope of where the enemy's coming. And with a spotter like an artillery spotter, the whole unit would shoot and literally lob the bullets over the ridge with the arc and trajectory and drop it onto a target without even being able to see who was shooting them. So that's the skill that we had with people who everybody says when they're dumb because they only had a sixth grade education. Well, they may have a sixth grade education, but they were pretty good with geometry. And not only that, amazing with mechanical skills. In other words, they were probably better to sixth grade education. But dupas are always taught that the people before them had to be dumber than they are. When in reality, it's almost always the case that it's worse as you go into the late 20th and 21st century. Things go downhill, not up. But again, Here's the thing, Tex-Mex, what he's acknowledging is something else that we talked about. You have to change your philosophy. If you've created this religiosity that you can't shoot, but so far, which they did intentionally, remember I've talked about this for decades. that they created this religiosity of limitation and they had to incorporate it into a can-do society where somebody says, well, if I can see it, I can shoot it. No, no, no, no, you can't, you can't do that. Well, what is that? That's the European monarchical. Everything that you see here when you hear stuff like this, instead of the can-do American, the rifle marksman that traditionally made America great, They tell everybody you can't do something. It's not possible. You aren't gonna be able to do it Well now they got a they got to kind of throw out all of their present religiosity in order to be able to use the full potential of this weapon and a massive force Don't they? You know what if I killed one of the bastards on the other side and that rifle supposedly will do what it'll do I'm not gonna use it full auto, right Tex Max. How would I use that gun? Precision shooting. You'd wish to god you didn't drop a rifle like that in my hands, would you? No. You see how that works? There's a couple things here, like I've said, that are really bizarre. And when you think about it, you gotta scratch your head and look at these characters. And it demonstrates that the... It's there's such an eclectic mix master Twilight Zone thing going on between most of their ears Especially with the committee of monkeys and again our ordinance is always nowadays committee of monkeys So there's this really neat thing. They were somebody read enough articles. Somebody might have even done a little history work probably not but where they got to where they are with this and it's interesting because A lot of the performance or whatever it is that they're expecting really isn't for something like going overseas. It's more like they're, well, let's put it this way, planning on waging war against the American people. In fact, if you think about it, example is the new body armor. Okay, look at the new body armor specs. Now, I've read it twice on the air, but it's been a little while. I'd have to dig it out because I set the file down here somewhere and I got to dig it out. We've been moving stuff left and right. But you might recall that they stated that the new rifle armor has to be able to stop M2AP 30-06. Tex-Mex, guys, anybody? Does the U.S. Army use 30-06 anymore? No. As we've already talked about this last couple of days, there is no 7.62x51 NATO equivalent to 30-06 M2AP, 308AP route. There's nothing in the 7.62x51. There's tracer and there's ball. That's it. Now the government worked all those problems out years ago in World War II with all the other exotic rounds, which apparently we've lost the ability to build. We don't know how to do it or we've gotten so stupid. We can't think about looking up the processes and making it happen. So we don't know how to make a bullet that will do what we don't need this special case for. Right? So why would you build body armor and the spec would be to stop 30-06 M2AP? Well, the only people who mostly have 30-06 MP nowadays would be US shooters, Americans, me, Tex-Mex, any of you out there that have an OTS-6 that have been scrounging for every OTS-6 M2AP round you can find. And we're not shooting them, we're saving them. So if you look at the spec for the armor, who was it they're planning on fighting? Because there's no Russian equivalent to that out there. And by the way, they didn't say must stop 762 by 54 are armor piercing incendiary tracer because that was the most common really a bollocks round what did everything but remember the Russians made a very exotic armor piercing incendiary tracer round It's both AP and it's incendiary and it's trace Now I could see if they were claiming they were gonna fight the Chinese or the Russians or whatever and that they were the enemy Then the body armor would they would be specking it out to the threat weapon that would be very likely to be run into in like You know the dragon off or in the squad machine gun on the other side But they're not doing that In fact, no regular service for the most part has any 30-06 in service anywhere on the planet right now Except maybe a few third world countries So the only people who have 30 out of 6 M2AP is us. The American people. I've got some. Everybody's got some. We all have some. Everybody's got it. We've saved it and we didn't shoot it. We didn't blast it away. We're going to go blast stuff away on Saturday. Yeah, maybe some cheap ammunition from overseas. But we ain't burning out any of the specialized rounds we know we're going to need for the war. And he talked about fighting. related to that mark, it might stop it, but it's not going to be the best day of your life. And the second shot can button things up. Oh yeah. Well, again, this is where the idea that everything that they're doing, it doesn't make any sense with the parameters that have been laid down by 40, 50 years worth of indoctrination. Which I think is fascinating. Again, our side doesn't think the way they do. I mean, some people do. People are conditioned by the system. A lot of people have been in the military. They think the way they were trained. But even there, most everybody is like, well, okay, I'll accept it while I'm here with you guys. This is what we do. But a lot of avid shooters, and that's pretty much anybody's got real firearms out there. They never want to go minimal range and state, oh, I'm really not able to reach that far, so I don't even try. No, look at every video. Let me give an example. Just count how many people have videos on YouTube. And they're priding, they're so happy with their performance that they're showing you. Yeah, I went out to the range and we went to 850 yards and we went to 1,000 yards and then we went to 1,200 yards. How many different channels will you find just on YouTube alone with guys who are showing you what they're doing in their backyard? Lots. Yeah, they're all over. I mean you can spend all night doing it. You still wouldn't run out of videos. So it's the exact reverse of, well you know, we can only reach about the optimal range. Now while they do teach you to go 300 yards, they tell you the optimal range is 220 yards. But that's the farthest most anybody should shoot and beyond that you shouldn't think about it or do anything and it's like really well That's a waste of a big-ass 300 Magnum round that I got sitting here in this rifle That's a free to design to kill capable elephant. I would I can wear as far as I can see I can pretty well shoot with this rifle With a with this glass I've got on the roof alone. I can count your pimples before I blow your blow your nose off It's that simple. Okay, so again, you know The 6.8 round to me They've again, it's you're purely grossly over complicated where it doesn't need to be We have if you take bullet technology, which has already been perfected You did not have to reinvent the wheel and you've also made something that's supposed to be a throwaway perishable item the rifle case and made it a grossly over-engineered 10 times as expensive production item that may also have production issues if you actually have to get into a wartime environment. Guys, if they... Go ahead, jump in there, please. This left coast bear out here, I've listened to you since the mid-'90s, I just thought you guys might want to know concerning what you're talking about, ammunition, etc. What happened to a lot of our nitrates? and the endothermic reaction between barium hydroxide and sodium nitrate trioxide. And a few of these other things. We have coal coming down here that actually will freeze dry the outside of your skin. And we're still having it. Right now it's about 30 degrees. Now with that said, I want to update everybody. I'm right in the middle of the fruit belt here. And speaking of perishables, at this time, the cherry growers are already filing for insurance losses due to the cold. I'll check back on the peaches and things to let you know. So the fam-demic is well underway, at least in this area. So I just thought I'd jump in and add that while I was able to get on. Thank you. And again, that has to do with the pit fruits. And the faster the pit fruits are yeah, the pit fruits are getting hit and they can actually take gold to a degree In fact plums that's my voice said guys to grow plums. The problem is I'm in central Washington in the middle of Fruitbelt, right? Yeah, the only well Here's another thing where you are because this is something we already saw happen with California and they did the same thing here in Michigan. On the west side of the state, that's where almost all of our pit fruit and apple growers are. We have massive production there. But back in the 80s, they started on the apple growers with Alar. Remember the Alar scare? And what happened is that they actually stopped production in the United States and they started the LRS here at 88, backed off on it, then they waited until NAFTA and GAP. When NAFTA and GAC came out, all of a sudden the Chinese could flood anything into the country they wanted without any restrictions. Now they already started this, the 88 scare, the Chinese dumped massive amounts of apple juice in the United States and they intentionally sold it for less than it cost to make. The mission was to undercut the American production of fruit juices and fruits. Interestingly enough, once Naphtha and Gatt was passed, they did the same thing again, and they used the same propaganda with the Alars here. By the way, the Chinese use Alar in mass. If you don't know it, remember all the stuff you're supposed to be terrified on the American foods? Well, guess what? It's all on the Chinese foods and nobody's warned about washing the hell out of the stuff, okay? Instead, they just ignore it. So when they're told to ignore it. But what's interesting is what they did, just like they did in central California, like around Bakersfield and the canal areas, is first they created hyper restrictions. All of a sudden we had weather issues that were temporary but severe. And it was a perfect storm that was intentionally planned. They put the growers out of business. The Chinese came in and grabbed everything. Now all of a sudden all the restrictions around all the American growers don't exist for the Chinese. They tried the same thing here and did that to a degree in Michigan on the west side of the state. But it was a mini version of what they did. Yeah, go ahead, please. And the chemical ass nucleation is pretty well killing everything. We're having frost at night. I usually like to go out and try and get a walk and things like that, but you can actually feel it. It will freeze dry to a certain degree on the back in your hands and other plants. as well. And so this is where a lot of the anhydrous ammonia is going is to the endothermic chemical reactions that's also going to create a shortage in fertilizer and for nitrates that are going to be useful in ammunition. A lot of these things, oh we just don't know what happened to the fertilizer. Yeah, bull hockey, it's being dumped over here and it's coming down in frost. So yeah, I'll keep you guys posted as far as what happens to rest the fruit. But we got a double whammy coming and yeah, I don't like being exactly in the left coast, but kind of stuck here. But anyway, there you go. Very good. Thank you, sir. I appreciate the report. Another thing about that, remember, again, the third category, ammunition. They've allowed for the we used to be the number one fertilizer exporter on the planet. Okay That's why like I said last couple of days here the year you're seeing these numbers They're saying well rushes the number one exporter now. I can't see how that happened except by betrayal But but but what they're doing with all of this and it's like we see with the weapons go right down the shopping list weapons ammunition production, anti-tank weapons, they are going to outside the United States sources and the factory or production facilities are outside the country so that if America were to turn, we have to start from scratch in many categories. Sig is getting the pistol, Sig's gonna get this half-assed rifle garbage going on, which by the way we get double-tapped on that. But when NAFTA get hit, that's when they targeted all of the raw material production because they know that's the underpinning of anything you're going to do with production. So again, any of the nitrate production by reducing it means that you do not have the volumes that are needed to refine to get down to weapons grade munitions of whatever type. Sugar is an interesting one because it falls right in line. Guys, everyone knows the white death. You wouldn't believe. Okay, sugar is involved. Regular crystalline sugar is used in many munitions processes. That's why, like I've pointed out to people who are right here in Michigan, if you go over to any of the sugar plants, yeah, you have the bagged sugar for food and commercial, you know, food production where it's in the FDA approved, but you also have bulk sugar and guys they'll even store it outside. When they start cranking it out, they literally mound it outside the factory. I mean just outside the holding area. Now they'll bucket it up and they'll box it up. They actually put it in the hopper boxes and they'll ship it out fast. But that's not going to food production. That's going to category two. That's going to, in reality, is a parallel and as important production base for the sugar producers. Now we can substitute and make other, you can use other materials for the process, but you still basically have to work with the same construction of materials. So you have to, whatever your substitute is, you're basically mimicking whatever the sugar production is that you're doing organically. which takes more time, more money, more resources, and is less productive. You get less for the time involved and the money involved to produce. So all of this stuff has been pulled out of the country, and it's obvious that they're making their big move with regard to the Soviets and what's coming up with the election. I'm talking about what we've talked about for the last two hours. The election process with the other dribble there. The interesting thing is everything that we're talking about can be replaced at the small tactical level But everybody needs to get serious about it. So Again, you're going to hear me talking more about manufacturing at the small the small unit level To produce powders for propellant. We're not interested in the explosive. We're interested in propellant We're looking at again slapping something not not destroying or shattering something And it's very important you understand the the concept of again formulation for velocity Because that's what that's the that's the critical part and again. It's a combination of burn time Let's see calorie and calorie and cup build up and whale in the time frame that you want and because of that you have to engineer a combination of first the chemical process and then the mechanical, physical form that you're going to make the powder, form the powder into to create a particular type of burn response. This is why you have donut, you have rod, you have pyramidal, you have flake. Okay, each of these different powder configurations create different interactive burn rates. which is a very important part of understanding why you get different powders to do and you know, why you can get bullets to do different things. Now this has all been worked out, and the simplest is obviously to either do a cordite type of Lego squeeze rod. Rods that are done that way where they literally just, you literally have what is like a like a ice cream, not ice cream, frosting, a frosting bag. Think about, you know, how you squeeze it into the frosting bag. Well, it's just a mechanical plumbing version. What it is is the case, it faces to the case, it squeezes so much of the raw slash prepped powder into its powder. At this point, it's actually more like Silly Buddy or like Play-Doh. It's squeezed into the case, the case moves on down to the next station, etcetera, etcetera, and repeat a million times. Now, when it's in the case and when the bullet has been seated, the powder is viable at that point. But literally, in the original processes, it was curing while it was inside the case. Eventually, those long rods will break down and become shorter, like little licorice bits. And if you were to look at it by comparative size and by links. But the burn pattern is the same. The rod is the base and it would be sufficient as is even if it's early in its earliest form. That's the simplest of the powders to produce for the most reliable configuration or consistent configuration from round to round. The others are more cold, not too much more complicated. Flake is rather interesting because there are three different ways you can do that. One of them is pan drying and you can produce flake powder that way. It breaks down by its crystalline structure into the little, you know, square or diamond patterns that you see if you were to look at powder through a little bit of a magnifying glass. And again, this is all, it takes longer to describe that it's worth at this moment because again, if you're not applying the science, then you're not probably of interest to it. It's not of interest to you, forgive me. So what we need to do is develop that interest. Understand that you can do a lot with very little and accomplish a great deal. So, you know, have the can-do attitude instead of the can't-do attitude. That's one of the most important aspects of everything we're dealing with Americans have the ability. We just got to squeeze it out of them Well, the ones that count they owe the face brow wearers them, you know All the rest of the types that are on the other side. We don't want everything to do with them We have no interest in Except to keep an item and know that they're coming at you And you're building the powder and everything else to deal with the problem. Go ahead call your ship in there Yeah, that's Texas, Mexican. Yeah, I've got an observation that I've noticed going back to the shooting over the years that I, you know, I mean, and I just got into the competitive shooting just within the last five years or so. I mean, I was shooting before, but not like this. But what I noticed was there, if you go to practice score and you want to hear, you won't see this anywhere. Except maybe on YouTube, you know about these competitions But as far as the mainstream media any other type of media newspapers Practice score you could go to practice score and you could at least in my area You could go to out of four four weekends out of one month You could go to a mat some type of match on a Saturday and Sunday of four weekends a month. And yet nobody knows about this stuff. Nobody knows about it. It's all types of shooting. Pistol sometimes it's two guns. The unfortunate thing is most of the shooting that I'm doing with the practice course stuff is short range shooting. It's quick, fast, you know, red dots and stuff. But I do do the running guns where I can shoot long range and there are long range competitions. If you look around because we've lost a lot of our long range We had quite a few long range competition ranges in this area, but they've been either shut down, you know, from your family, not wanting to keep them keep them up or, you know, neighbors and realtors just hammering them and hitting them with frivolous losses. They just couldn't handle it no more. But I mean, there's a there's a segment of people who shoot. You know out there that that that nobody's really really paying attention to or seen or except maybe the government Well, that's one of the things to remember is that traditionally it was word of mouth that kept everything going but also people gotta get motivated to get out there and Get away from the keyboards or get away from you know, the the television That is an issue. The the big thing is we get everybody to motivate towards that And do we have somebody dying there? Oh Sounds like a beard. Thanks, Mike. If you say Budweiser, you've said it all. So is somebody having a problem? Do we have a caller? Hold on. Does that help? Can you understand that better than English? Go ahead. It's kind of like the Toads from the Budweiser commercial. Go ahead, caller. Who do we have? So I'm on amelman.com and there's no, still no good deals on 30 at six Springfield. The cheapest left round is a 30 at six Springfield Hornady, American white belt, 150 grade, SP 20 rounds for 38 gallons. It goes from $38 all the way to $50. So there's no big, no big specials on amelman.com yet. So, we'll see you after. Which was brand new ball ammunition made by you know the Serbs that's about as good as you're gonna get in fact specifically It's stated built for the m1 Grand so if it works in the Grand and work in anything else you've got out there And it'll really print well and being a fresher ammunition. You don't have to worry about variances or issues I've never had an out six round not go off You know in surplus for instance, I've shot I don't know I've lost count I could even not even know for sure how much hot six I fired But I could say this in all the time. I fired a 30 out six round I have never had a four round not did you know that failed? I've never had one that has done fired if it's a US mill or a factory and factory spec round I have had everyone go off whenever I have shot. I've never had to alibi anything on that So that's pretty decent. But again, the PPU ammo, if you see it, grab it. It is again, mil-spec and it's ball and it will work in print just like everything else that normally would be built for that rifle. The only thing is it doesn't come in D-clips. So you're going to need more D-clips. But if you've got spares, this will give you the ammo to load it up if you can find it. Another thing real quick, and that ties in, the Grant is a supremacy weapon. Anything that will take the 1903 Springfield round or the M1903 round, which is what the .30-06 is, then congratulations. You've got one of the best rifles on the planet for ammunition availability in the heavy calibers because there is probably a couple of billion rounds of .30-06 hanging around in the US. Anybody catch the announcement that there was yapping about the new 6.8 round? They actually said that, oh, the government's going to sell 10 million rounds of 5.56. Anybody see the ad for that, the article for that? That's a drop in the bucket. Yeah, it's like... And really, I got that much in the outhouse. Right. Well, again, you know, it sounds like a big number for the civilian population. Well, you know, they're going to sell 10 million rounds. It's like, no, there's somebody's going to steal 10 million rounds or maybe they've already stole everything else because that's a drop in the bucket for a military formation for all practical purposes, or it should be. But maybe we've gone so piswilly that in the mind of the incompetent that we have in the government, maybe that is a significant number for the Department of Defense. It is a goodly number, a goodly amount. But again, nothing near what's supposed to be there for Strategic Reserve. And why would you get rid of any ammunition in 556 anyway? Explain that to me. I don't care if you were going to change the gun out. Okay, you still have too many five five six weapons that either you run or your allies run So why would you get rid of any ammunition right now? Planned negligence Yeah Exactly. Oh, we didn't expect this. We didn't know this. Well, then you're the dumbass. It needs to be fired, right? And you also probably need to be put in prison if not hung See how that works Yeah, well, I'm just saying we might not be there, okay? If we're there, don't worry, it'll be taken care of. But I just, again, you gotta remember, there's a whole bunch of people that are not gonna be all that friendly to common sense attitudes. So they're probably just, I think they wanna shelve them. Anyway, we are getting close to the top. I'm getting a little bit of an echo through the system here, guys. A little fuzz echo in the background. Somebody's, for whatever reason, with their mic. Go ahead, the caller jump in there, please. Those gloves you were talking about. My sound, it's a two-top. There's the Extreme Fit and then the Monster Fit. Is that what you're talking about? The couple comes in two years on a card. Well, they're Monster Grip. It's one pair on a card. They have size large. Okay. And they're, they're veil camo. That's the thing. They're the only ones I found online and I found them in like nine or 10 different places. And number one, they're all out of stock. None of them had prices except for one place. Um, they were all one pair of monster grip and one pair of extreme fit. Um, both on the card. It was, so it was two pairs. The cheapest, well, the only place that I found a price was 1750. And that was the sale price from $20 but they're not anywhere anymore. They're gone. Right. That's why I was wondering about these. Well, the armored model with the monster grip, these are $7 a pair. So again... Yeah, and they're in both extra large and large and again like I said tonight I'm gonna hit them with a flashlight with a high beam LED and I want to see if they glow in any way That's the next test first test is light a little bit is regular light and the second will be with infrared And I'll use the night vision to see if they if they do anything special If they do, I'd still buy them, but I'm going to look at them to see if I'm right about maybe the thread. And if I am, then I'm going to break out the brown Sharpie because these are brown color. I like the pattern. I like the way they fit, but I also like the way they were built. So they are an operator slash shooter type glove. The fact that they've got the armor in the back guys, we're getting older and we can't afford to be hurt. I've said this many times wherever you can wear knee pads elbow pads and if you can wear the under armor You should because we can't afford to have people hurt by stupid stuff because it's attrition You know, it's just bumping roses are gonna start go ahead. I'm going to the place where we have an always so nearby You've been through the town where it is I'm going there tomorrow. So I'm gonna peel off and cuz our always usually sucks. It's usually got nothing either because people have already picked it over. Again, this is Indiana. You live in a completely different world up there. Everybody's stupid up there. They've got money, but they throw things away. Down here, you can't. You put something out at the side of the road, it'll be gone in five minutes. You go to an auction. People are paying more than retail for things just because they want it. It's crazy land. It's not like people have money. They're not going to let anything go cheap. So, if they get a little bargain up at Ollie's, they're going to go in and clean them out. If Ollie's has it, these are true grip, monster grip. They'll be over in the...all the Ollie's are pretty much the same as like Big Lot, and how they're laid out. These are over by the automotive section with the work gloves. Okay, and they just got they just got these in so they may just have gotten them in where you are too because they just came in if I hadn't got them they might already be all gone like you said because a lot of people like this pattern and Armored gloves usually go pretty quick anyway nowadays, especially when they're this cheap. I find a pair for under 20 bucks now. It's almost impossible. I was just saying the average price they're saying for these is 20 to $22 for one pair Okay, so again, just the idea again for seven. I've been watching this for a long time and this is a solution, but if you're going to Ollie's Look around where the where the PPE stuff is the face bra stuff and also then check the sporting goods section They have these balaclavas. They're also in the veil camo. They're the gorilla grip is the name of the it's got a gorilla. It's a gorilla grip It's in little like orange with camel. It's on the bottom of the balaclava, but the Pattern is the same. It's the veil camo, but it's in the green range and there are 99 cents apiece You can't beat them by a bias by more than one per person because in fact if you want to if you buy more than one per person you can basically set up one of these tactical balaklava as you take the first one to do the head wrap and You take the second one you'll put the other one on your neck and then roll that one up And what you get is that ninja effect that everybody thinks is so cool, but the difference is it's in it's in this Again, it's in the veil camo. I like the veil camo. It's basically a combination of the oil, the homemade oil pattern that they were doing over in Afghanistan, but with some other colorations and modeling that gives it stone patterns, like natural grain, natural wood, natural stone. So it's actually a pretty good pattern, but it's also a stupid price. And in fact, the tops and bottoms within this pattern, if you're looking at blouses, if Gover Sportsman's Guide, you'll find it there. I think it's like $119 for a shirt. So it's like, well, that ain't mine. I like it, but that ain't mine. So these, when I see them, whether you've got a mark on it like this, you really can't beat it. And again, the idea that it's got back armor and it's got finger reinforcing and everything where it's supposed to be, that makes these a worthwhile investment. So and the veils the balaclava is they're good for everything in fact there's enough material there I'm pretty sure we can make a helmet cover if you wanted to out of the balaclava Which is another thing that'd be a pretty good pattern now. I got to do a shine test on those Again, always do a shine test guys check with your white light first and since many of you have night vision if you get new equipment Take it out and beam it with some I know infrared illumination and see what happens through your night vision device just to be safe, won't hurt. It's a big problem with high-end polyester. A lot of the Korean uniforms are 65% polyester, 35% cotton. And some of them are like 30% cotton, 5% other fiber, and 65% polyester. They are shiny. Because the plastic is shiny. Always remember that. So there's something, you know, taken into consideration here. We always want to test all our equipment. There's all kinds of ways we can make it disappear, but we first we got to know it's there. Always remember that. And again, our proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We don't plan on getting pissed on. In fact, we're going to make sure that doesn't happen. Another thing real quick is, again, if you're wondering why, again, I deal with a lot of this with the supply issues. Guys, if you look at the price of a yard of cloth right now, I can see why, the reflection of what we're seeing in just raw materials with the Chinese having hit the market and taking so much control over it. Things are four times and five times the cost of what they were. just in the last several years. So we are looking at, you know, ridiculous, and it's because the Chinese can charge the market will bear because there's no competition. There's no way for you to there's no way there's nowhere to turn is when it comes down to or at least there are the few that are out there That some of them have the Chinese thumb on there or should say Buddha and their neck already right here in the United States Another thing taking a consideration another reason you don't get rid of any pants. Don't get rid of any shirts Don't get rid of any t-shirts March folks, stay on night.
