I can hear someone knocking on the door and the sound of running and they whisper the word There are men coming down from the valleys They're all flying in the dark like a whisper in the wind Bring my gun 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 snumber and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to 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 trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Intelligence report hammer, Kernky, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Northwest, Northeast, South and Southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us. www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. and we are on satellite. Ben wants to say hi and wave to all of our friends in the Merchant Marine across the planet and many other people who are rebroadcasting us and bouncing us around the satellite and satellite service system. We appreciate that. Thank you. Also a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. And it has been a beautiful Wednesday. This weapon's Wednesday, but it has been a beautiful Wednesday. Got a lot done. Very happy with that. And again, 81, 82 degrees. Maybe as high as 86. I don't know. We're pressing towards 90. Muggy. Humidity's up. Not real bad. But we've got this cloud cover. It's working like a lensing effect. It looks like it wants to rain. It's like last year. Ignore it. If it looks like it wants to rain, just be ready to cover stuff up. Otherwise, get on with business. And that's exactly how you treat it every step of the way. And guess what? It didn't rain at all today. Looks like it could, but it also created that extra heat. So the plants are blooming and booming on top of everything else here in the bottom of the state of Michigan. It is the 11th of May. It is the 14th year of open obvious and my god if you look at the garbage and vomitus ilk filth and excrement coming out of Washington DC Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar 2022 battle for the Republic The dance of swords let the dance continue and it is weapons Wednesday One of the things to remember about most all of your weapons systems is kind of like the beginning of the Civil War. There's always really neat cool doodads that everybody comes up with and they really seem like they would be useful. During the beginning of the Civil War on the Union side the troops had more money to burn and there was more stuff, you know, technology-wise being built. So everybody's favorite to mention is that they actually sold coffee grinder stocks. They could go right on to the issue weapon, which allowed you to have another utility, you know, gimme tool, on board. It didn't fight, it just was a coffee grinder. Just sprinkle your coffee beans in there, put the unit on, crank, crank, crank, crank. When you're all done, knock that into the cup or into the pot. boil your water and congratulations you got a cup of coffee okay the Confederates at Bull Run were fascinated by this because they the Union troops dropped everything the central federalized police forces who were you know coming to put the boot on the other half of the country to steal for the international bankers of that day Well, when the Confederate forces walked across the battlefield and started to pick up and acquire what was dropped were still being clutched by dead personnel, or by those who surrendered. There were a lot of surrendered too. What's interesting is the Confederates were amazed at some of the gimmicks and stuff that were out there. It was just like, what purpose does this serve? Why or what the hell? And it was to a degree, it's argued it demonstrated the difference between the south's straightforward approach and also limits in terms of material. And the level of technology that was available in one degree or to one degree to another to the other side didn't serve much purpose. Coffee grinders in the bud stocks probably were still out there until the end of the war only because nothing got thrown away but the usefulness of it is First of all, you have to have coffee. That became harder and harder to acquire or deal with. Prices became outrageous to the point where it was, hmm, eat or buy critical things in the canteen or splurge once in a while and get coffee. There's not a whole lot of difference between being in a traditional real military, unlike the US military we have now, which is soft. across the board. Most armies you ended up having to skimp just like you were in prison. There's really no difference between being in prison and typically being in a real war army. The conditions are pretty much the same. You can't get away. They're not going to let you. And unless you die, then you get retired to the grave or maybe if you get hurt bad enough, they don't want to have to fiddle part with you up front and they can't use you. So they are going to hopefully cross your fingers, ship you back to the rear, and maybe you get home. But everything else food You know accoutrements cleaning supplies anything and everything personal hygiene Guys, that's up for grabs in a real war We have we have been pissing around beating up the five-year-old blind kid across the street with the cane And now all of a sudden everybody's yapping about you know, let's go to World War three. Well, yeah, it's like we said before Everything is up for grabs and well the other side no matter who you're fighting in a real war is going to destroy your supply chain And most everybody we have in our US uniform does not have a clue how to deal with depredation. What was the number one reason that people were killed after the occupation of Iraq? Well, there were a couple, two different ones, always IEDs obviously, but the other one was just walk up and shoot the bastards, so to speak, the Iraqis. knew that everybody was going to take the attitude that, well, this was like, you know, now that you killed a bunch of somebody's relatives and family members in Iraq, everybody was just going to lay back and it was going to be like occupied Germany. Well, occupied Germany wasn't like you see in all the movies or BS after World War II either because a lot of people weren't happy with, you know, what was going on. Iraq was no different. So if you recall, let me jog your memory. They had to stop allowing the troops for a while to go to the bazaars to buy counterfeit DVDs and CDs so they have something to watch. You remember that? Bunch of guys got popped because or had got stabbed to death. They didn't have to shoot them. They just either clubbed them like a baby seal or stabbed them, stabbed them, stabbed them. It was relatively quiet. There was some screaming. And everybody that was around, well they didn't care because it was an American soldier or maybe a British soldier that was just killing their relatives anyway. So if somebody else stepped up to the plate and took a risk and you know clubbed the troops or beat on the troops or executed whoever, nobody else was going to make too much of a fuss. Something nobody wraps their brain around there see so rule number one is the bar you don't go to the bazaar that's stupid Right home there. We got with wealth back in America to the point where if you need something Tell the people back home and as if you have any family members, I guess maybe maybe a lot of these people didn't But I got a funny feeling they did all I have to do is just say hey send me and I guarantee it would have been sent So it was, you know, the wrong mindset going into a lethal situation. The same is going to be true with, as this thing, if this escalates for anybody who's in uniform in the field, you have to understand bare minimums and you have to remember to prioritize needless to say. There are some things you won't, will consider an extreme luxury. I've always pointed out toilet paper. And then you still have asshats and idiots, and you don't need toilet paper. Yeah, right. And the dimple head's still using toilet paper at some time or another. Because you didn't think ahead doesn't mean I won't think ahead, okay? Toilet paper doesn't cost that much, but it does, you know, really change. It's one of those little pick-me-up things. You're goes, what? Oh yeah, it really is. Yeah, because no matter how else you use whatever else you use and even with toilet paper in the field You know those hand sanitizer wipes and stuff they get out there and nowadays those are really cool about the ones I'm getting for 25 cents. It were five and ten dollars They're kind of handy in the field when you've done what you were supposed to do, but now you either better be you better become very religious. What do you mean by that Mark? Well, you've ever become kind of like the Muslims. Remember, it's an insult to do anything with the left hand. The right hand is, of course, the hand of greeting and or eating and whatever. The left hand isn't used for that. What is the left hand used for dirty things? What are those dirty things? Well, you can imagine if the food is being put into your system with the right hand, that probably maintenance is being done with your left hand. And you better become very, very religious about that. In fact, that's why those religions have these beliefs. For people who think that they're really stupid or whatever. Well, do you see any forests out there in the middle of Saudi Arabia? Do you see any, I mean there's, there's, there is some plant growth. There's all kinds of things. Have you ever been in the desert? Do you know if you see green? Do you think that green is a warm fuzzy maple leaf? Have you ever been in the desert in Arizona or in Mexico? You ever went out there and run around the countryside? Wow, look at all that green, even during the spring. Oh yeah, there's some green out there. Most of it is like leather has thorns or spikes. and isn't very conducive towards wiping your hind end, okay? Ergo in most of these places overseas, they don't have forests, anyway, once again, first of all, you have a religious process. You make it religious because, well, it's part of what should be common sense for survivability of the tribe, so to speak. But then you have people who are just dumb in the box of rocks and will make stupid or snide comments about what these people are doing and why. and have no depth with regard to understanding, education, or the ability to appreciate different societies. Isn't that fascinating? Like I said, see any pine forests or maple trees out here, sir? No. Not very many places to grind up anything and make toilet paper. So there are other techniques and technologies developed, because man hasn't changed no matter where you are on the planet in that respect. It goes in, it goes out. horrible subject but remember hmm bad hygiene is a weapon I will remind you as a POW you scrub your hind end in fact if you can get hold of a good lie based soap or a good core conventional soap without perfumes etc you need that and you trade for that like it's gold Basic rule of the first rule of POW operations whenever you can clean yourself up you clean yourself up You don't know what your what your Door wardens are gonna do to you. You don't know what the interrogator has planned for you So wherever you can clean your hind end up and scrub your and even even your teeth even just just in fact this sounds weird But even using like the ivory soap is best for this for doing Mouth maintenance for washing out. Oh, it was both. Oh, so yes, actually do you have toothpaste? No Toothbrush, maybe maybe not probably most probably not Now you're going to have to figure out how to do that best, but what you got to do is make sure that you start to kill or knock down the bacteria. Enamel, don't worry about that. You may have some teeth knocked out by the time you're done. The interrogator is going to determine that. Also survivability inside an incarceration slash a POW camp environment with people who aren't necessarily the same mindset that you are, either as prisoners or as stooges. You know, actually, GIMPS working for the other side. And then don't forget the guards. Example, look what happened to the guys. Everybody goes, well, it's not likely to be like that necessarily. Well, okay, we're in peacetime in the United States. And all of you know enough about this, you know Uncle Mark is right. People were snatched and grabbed by the pigs, the local pigs, the local cops cooperating with the feds. And then they put the person, the people in the chain of, you know, dieseling back to Washington, D.C. Then once in Washington, D.C., for having gone to Washington on the 6th of January, they're then tortured, they're handcuffed and then pushed down a flight of stairs by the guards. Eye sockets are crushed, eyes are lost, teeth are lost, jaws are broken, and this is peacetime. If the communists get control, do you see what they're doing to people in Washington, D.C.? It's why you shoot their ass. Do you see what they're doing to people in Washington, D.C.? This is why anybody who comes out to help acquire you or to try and put you in the machine so they can torture you like that, you shoot their ass. There's no cooperating with anybody because well that in fact that's typically what they do all be Reasonable and that punk out on the farthest end of the spear point Their job is to try and convince you with minimal cost to them so that they can go home and laugh about how they got you to surrender and how they're handing you over to the torturers in Washington DC that are the communists kosher communists running the black mafia slash the kill all the white people through in the lockup system in Washington DC run by Obama. See how that works? So whenever you can, you do everything, every kind of maintenance that you can if there's the benefit of being able to eat. Now there's a challenge cuz you can't trust the food in the system, but canned or packaged food maybe. So this is where if you have resources you have to think ahead. I'm going to remind you about being a POW. You automatically start accumulating things from the get-go. The very first day that you can get what's called store or any kind of quartermaster or whatever they might have you prioritize. The first thing are vitamins, painkillers, and soaps. of all types, whatever you can. Now again, for your purposes, for personal maintenance, perfume soaps and all that, that's a luxury. What you want is the best, cheapest for the most is, and having a quantity on hand. You never know when the digits are gonna be cut off. Look what happened in Canada with the whole scam there with Trudeau and what they did with the banks. Guys, they do the same thing all through the system. They're showing you how the communists operate. One minute you have money there, the next minute the digits are stolen. The regime does it. They're showing you, the Canadian Communists, look what they just did to the Canadian people. Look at what the Communists do. The Canadian people should rise up, shoot the son of a bitches down, get rid of them. The cops are cooperated with the Communists 100%, they need to be dead. It's just that simple. And they know exactly what they're doing wrong, so don't say, well, they just are going along to get with them, they need to be gone. But again, the big thing here is anytime you can take advantage of being able to acquire resources and whatever you can eat, take advantage of it, clean water, drink, and don't, you know, you don't, there's a balance there. It's kind of like when you're storing, you can store up water, your body does. So you want to hydrate wherever you can as long as you can trust the water or at least have limited confidence in it. Notice it's a toss up because you still have to have water no matter what. One of the tricks to that is if you're in an isolation cell and you have a cup or whatever, because there could be stuff in the water, what you can do is actually pour multiple cups, fill them up, let them sit. Don't just slosh the cup around when you drink from it, drink it, and then dump the last third of the cup. Never know what might be in but whatever it is, it's soluble and it settles typically So what you want to do is let the water sit for a period of time now There's another reason for doing what I'm talking about if you're locked in a cell something happens Whatever water you have maybe all you have until maybe cross your fingers If you're lucky someone might actually come and try to free the prisoners But let's assume the worst, you know, we're trying to buy time and because you never know when that's going to happen, you need fluids on the shelf. You can conceal this as a prisoner in a prison system by buying the cheapest juices. Well, it's not healthy or whatever. That's not the point. It's water. Cheapie Kool-Aid, you know, colored flavored water things are pop. are not your first choice, but it's the only way in a confinement system that you may be able to stockpile or store water. If that door's locked, you're not getting out. Not at least, well, once you know that they're not coming back, then sky's the limit on attempting whatever you want to to try and defeat however you're locked down. But usually it's pretty secure. So what you're hoping is that somebody will, in kindness or in memory because they realize where you are, somebody might come and try to get you, recover you because the situation is now possible. But that may be a ways out. Never also ration everything that you do. Don't just gulp or gobble. This is true in a military operation. See, everything we're talking about as a POW or a prisoner applies also in a real hardship battlefield situation. Water is life. I cannot emphasize it if I'm from the Australian school. I will always be proud of that the teachers that I had. Carry more water. Carry more water in diversified containers. That way if something takes a hit you only lose maybe that one container. If you have large containers and it takes a hit you may not realize until it's too late you've lost all of the water you were carrying. And you've now changed the formula for performance in the field. And you will degrade progressively. It's like right now with the temperatures out there. Hydrate. Hydrate whenever possible. But in a battlefield situation, again, everybody's always tried to minimize that. And that's where the mistake is. Water is life. With water, you function. Without it, you fail. Battles have been lost for lack of water easily. It's a weapon, it's Weapons Wednesday. Anyway, other things. Minimalist weapons, the AK is an excellent choice in that respect and functions every time, but you can balance that out. There are all kinds of neat solutions. Most of the AKs that we're now producing here in the US, or the kits that have been put together as guns, have the Russian traditional side rail on the left side of the receiver. So you don't have to have a picatinny rail if you do want some kind of picatinny system. In fact, I was looking at one last night. Just randomly popped up with stuff that was over at Atlantic. They have one over there that's got the side rail and the top rail with the standard Russian mount. This allows you to be able to put an optic on the roof or a night vision on the top, you know, on the roof of it. But on the side, you can mount other devices. If you really think you need a laser or whatever, yes, that would be a good place. It could be mounted and dismounted as needed. The advantage of that is this. We've talked about this before about simplified. The one neat thing, if you wanted to drop the laser and drop the optics and stick with the iron sights, especially when everybody yaps about close quarters fighting. One of the things you want to do with a close quarter weapon, an antlerid weapon in a true jungle or dense forest environment, is eliminate as many of the sticky points and hang points as you can. I've told you this many times. The very simple fact is like the M16 E1 and A1. The first model had the E1 had the pickle fork flash shooter, which everybody now covets and used to be everybody was getting rid of. The reason that they changed it was one reason and one reason only. It was a wire cutter bayonet. In fact, it was supposed to do what it would do in the jungle nonstop. You were supposed to be able to hook the wire between that pickle fork, pull the trigger, cut the wire. Yep. Germans had a similar system, spent a similar system. The G3s, if you look, they have a wire cutter fixture on the Flash hiders that are the real flash hiders for the HK family of guns. What? No way. Yeah. Well, if you look down at the end of your flash hider, you have a couple of half moon crescents that don't make any sense. You ever notice that? They're at the very end of your muzzle, muzzle brake, your muzzle compensator, depending on what you got. But you'll notice that they're typically flash hiders. There is a half moon crescent at a 12 o'clock 6 o'clock station if you look directly at the muzzle of your gun What's that for? Doesn't do anything to help secure the flash hider. It's not part of any tooling system What it is it's a way for you to line up the wire the idea is if you were gonna try and get through a wire You just simply line the flash hider up those little knocks allow it to center and then you pull the trigger and the wires cut No way. Yes way. So the advantage was that you could use it as a tool. But the disadvantage was when you were in a field situation is something as simple as a very small surface area like the front of your rifle on the M16 E1 and or A1 early models that still had the pickle fork is that everything hooked on it. Everything. Everything. And in the tropical environment of Vietnam, or like in Michigan here with creeper vines, grape vines, anything you can imagine. Going through an area like that, it's amazing. One time it's annoying when you have to untangle something. Five times later it's really getting to be a lot annoying. 10, 20 times later for a lot of people it becomes frustrating. And then also after a few more times it becomes maddening. Trust me, I've seen it. Okay? So you try to explain to people and they learn. Okay, that's cool. Now is a useful tool. If I were depending on the environment, European theater of operations, urban to suburban warfare, the wire cutter made sense because there were a lot of permanent positions and modified positions that would use either conventional barbed wire fencing or other items that you might want to go through and you didn't always have a wire cutter handy. If you had a magazine of ammunition you could literally cut your way through a fence or at least break it enough, loosen it up enough, break enough fixtures, connections in the line that you could ply the thing open and plod through the hole. It's just how it works. So anyway, again, there's method to the madness, but there's also some madness to the method in that it would drive you crazy. So they change it. All they did was seal the end of the flash hider, which you all know in the M16A1 or to through to the even the M4, okay, which is the M16A3 or whatever you want to call it. But as it is, this little idea is not lost. But it's something that when we talk about flicking a gun if you have that a K Let's say that you're in a tighter environment. You don't really need the optics. You don't need the laser If you're talking about the idea that you believe you're gonna be going room to room up a stairwell down through a crawlspace then just simply dismounting the optics with since they're all modular and Boxing it up on your gun your tactical belt right, you know to your rear left rear, right? and now the weapon is slick sided all the way around the way it was originally intended. And it has very few hang up points and it's minimizing the design of the rifle. The AK has a little bit of an advantage in that in terms if you look at overall space and contact. Both of them have a front sight. The A-frame on the AR is flat on the front, so there's a contact point. The AK has, obviously, the front post that's prominent and very unique to the AK-47 or the Stungeweres and the German rifles. But it's interesting that, again, other than that, the basic weapon is very, very user-friendly in a mixed environment with a lot of snag and limited space. So it is something to take into consideration that that AR and or AK configuration that's minimalist is probably where a lot of people should be aiming. Purely a matter of what's the tool doing, you know, what is that tool in the toolbox supposed to do? That's how you need to think about it. And that's why the cool thing about the Lego block gun as opposed to the AK Well, the AKI just need to have two variants basically that we would be looking at. The regular rifle with that rail-mounted side and I can dismount it. Okay, that's what I get. With the AR, it's a Lego block gun. I can build and create an inventory of ARs that are like a set of golf clubs to do whatever I want under whatever conditions. Now, am I going to carry that whole bag of golf clubs? We've talked before about the idea of at least carrying one upper receiver. Now that would include a bulk area and everything ready to go, so all you do is D-pin, re-pin, and start inserting magazines. Because many of the AR variants, you can do that. However, you need to be thinking ahead. So figure out what you're going to do there and consider are you... a rifleman or are you an assault infantryman? Because most of the guys that spray and pray, they have their place. If you want to burn ammunition and don't have a clue, I can show you a million examples of that from the last 30 years worth of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Everybody said, well, let's be a man and then things have changed. It's like, really? I watched in fact, even home videos, some of the guys brought back with them where they were showing what they were doing in Afghanistan here just what, three years ago or two years, well, three years ago. And it's like, no, nothing has changed. In fact, it's gotten worse in some cases because again, the logic is that the system is not really pressed for supply. Whereas in a real war, you have to conserve ammunition because there's no guarantee that plane's going to show up or that truck is going to show up or that guy with the two 30 caliber cans schlepping over his arms, over his shoulder where he's got him on a carrier, he may not show up. So you better get really good at what you do, what you got. Well, we don't have to do that yet and because of that we're gonna blunder into a lot of big mistakes Which you can't be there correct. You just need to make sure you don't make them Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself so conservation and again Adjusting performance should be in your mind already. It's part of mastering the trade What is claimed to be the norm doesn't mean it's a good just because it's the norm does not mean it's a good idea Okay, let me give you an example of a military social norm that came and went You can go to YouTube and find videos of what Uncle Mark is talking about because I remember it when you know it was in the news when we were watching the Vietnam War. I wasn't in this part of the war, but everybody remembers it. A new and significant change in infantry operations in Vietnam. Traditionally, the rifleman has placed the weapon to his shoulder and has used the sights to align with and engage the target. Under this new rifle design, a new concept in rifle, well marksmanship, yuck yuck yuck, has been adopted. The hip fire and volume fire spray and pray technique. Now this was made official policy. Again, take a look at the end result, take a look at what it is, what became, what were the problems that had to be addressed, and what happened because of that. Now, mind you that this policy overlapped with the gross malfunctions and everything under the history of the M16 rifle. By the middle of the war though, middle end of the war, you know, middle end of the middle, maybe put it that way, the weapon had pretty well been worked out. Everybody knew it went well. What were wrong and quietly the government fixed the problem by doing the right thing with the ammunition, etc, etc, etc. Because of this, the idea of, you know, using the weapon for volume fire, which is not a bad idea. It's just that the whole of the team shouldn't be doing, you know, there are men who are more capable, allow them to perform to the best of their ability. This was the advantage of a combined arms team, as opposed to telling the whole team that they were going to spray and pray, or suppress fire, much like the, well, the squad automatic rifle, the M60 was supposed to do, since the M60 fit into that niche, replacing the BAR, okay? Now with most everything that we're dealing with here again It didn't take long to figure out that there was a lot of ammunition being consumed But there really wasn't a whole lot of benefit. Oh, I was keeping I'm sure the enemies head down Provided you were pointed at the enemy But the aggressor very quickly figured out that it was a real good idea to draw fire like that bring the enemy's You know consumption level up and then through a progressive series of actions like that then engage and annihilate the unit This is one of the things that came out of the eye-drank with the other half of we were soldiers. How much ammunition were they carrying? What was the philosophy or policy of the day? Now it was very early in the war, by the way, but the whole... There were a lot of ideas that were already pressed into the training mechanism, which are not covered or integrated into talking about these actions. So progressively, while it was politically correct to use the hip fire technique, very, very quickly it was realized that needed to change. First it happened in the field without waiting for permission to go back to at least lining up over the iron sights and keeping the weapon a little more on target because hence count misses down. And then an official change in policy finally was announced, grudgingly. But it was an official policy, this brand pray. Was that was that a wise thing to do? Well, if you've got tons of ammo and you're really you know again It's not really it's not the same situation as other conflicts where there really wasn't an interruption of the supply chain Then sure why not somebody's making money on that ammo you're burning But did it make sense with regard to you know putting the target down made the operator feel good Anytime you're putting bullets down right you feel better. That is true So, understand that that's one of the other aspects of this is trying to make the operator, the infantryman feel that he was accomplishing something. Both sides really may not be doing any better. One side because they simply don't have the weapon to match against what you're carrying. But they're still matching, trying to match the volume of fire. Not everybody was carrying an AK in the early stages of the war. Peppier submachine guns, Yugoslavian guns, Czech weapons were out there, leftover French equipment, everything in a match and there was only, and none of it ever really was retired to the end of the Vietnam War. So when everybody says, well, they were all running AK, well, the NVA. was a priority unit. You know, they were priority units, so they got better equipment. They got the latest equipment. But that's not necessarily true of all of the ranchers out there that were fighting and had been fighting for a very long time, including the Vietcong, etc. Now, any wars like this, I'm just using Vietnam as an example, because there's a bunch of things that happened cyclically that were repeated in the last 30 years worth of the forever war that just ended with the fiasco and failure in Afghanistan, where we betrayed our allies there like we betrayed the Vietnamese. What's interesting, you got to see the modern version of that. But the same cycle of events played out step by step by step. And I pointed this out over the years. And again, even the ending. It was like you got the protracted version of Vietnam where they figured out how to play the, you know, play the rubes, play us schmucks, and plug in the scam and just ride it out, ride it out, ride it out in classic George Orwell form. We're just now into the next phase with the next George Orwell cycle, which is what we're seeing with this whole thing with the yuck rain now, too. Another thing about, again, slick sighting the weapon, minimizing it, something we've always talked about is slings, even something as simple as slings. Now there's a reason, another reason for different, two different schools on the sling philosophy. On the one hand, everybody's perfected three-point slings, four-point slings, which allow you to freehand to a degree. But the argument was you're in a fighting situation and the weapon should never leave your hand. In fact, ideally, since you know you're in a contact environment, The weapon automatically should be at least in some form of ready station, which was the argument for getting rid of the sling. If you have a sling, you have a tendency to throw the weapon somewhere it doesn't need to be. And so with a lot of special warfare units, the sling was one of the first things that disappeared. It just wasn't part of the program. maybe with still squad gunners and or with mass volume fire weapons by the way the car 15 used with you know 30 round magazines, you know taped together other magazines piled up that weapon was used with a slang in full auto mode for you know a hasty suppression gun when a when the when the Stoner came out it was it replaced to a degree the other weapon simply because it could be chain-fed and It didn't have to be belt fed. It was in 556. And there again, that particular operator was putting a volume of fire down to suppress and engage while the others were identifying the greatest threat, neutralizing it with the best weapon, and moving on to the next target instantly without any second thought. No discussion. And again, automatic adjust to fire. The teams worked that well. Their integration and training was sublime, was perfect. And because of that, their performance and success ratio was phenomenal. This is why we talk about, again, train, train, train. Train as you will fight, for you will fight as you have trained. But then the enemy knows this too. Your enemy knows that that's why they've been trying to prevent people from getting together or again, working towards developing their skills for obvious reasons. So we need to emphasize that. Anyway, let's see. We got a little bit of time. We're heading towards the top, not there yet. A couple of the things going on right now, again, I think, again, slick sighting the weapon, the AK, the AR, basic M14. I'm not really into the, I know there's some really cool adjustable stock systems that came up with the M14 as far as to create the, you know, ergonomic design that fits the operator. For the most part, that defeats the purpose of why we fielded the M1A, which is economics. Cheap. Easy to field. It's not cheap as it used to be. But when you look at some of the ideas they've just come out with in a $5,000 rifle or a $3,000 weapon, I can outfit with a match grade or almost match grade, though I don't necessarily want that. I want it rifleman grade. M1A, I can buy three for the price of one of these other weapons. Performance level is comparable. I can put three people in the field to hunt one. And once I get the, if the other guy has that other whiz-bang super new rifle, I'll put that in the ranks. Now we have four guys with four really good guns or okay guns, in case someone captures, probably only okay, to go after the next guy that we're all gonna hunt together. Again, we always take advantage of the environment and the surprise, and we never fight fair just as they plan on never fighting fair. Always remember that. The big thing here again right now with the 760 by 51 NATO ammunition is there well there actually has been a I think what's going on here 30 out 6 was completely cleaned out. Now the 308 is starting to go the same way so there's running the people who are out there that are somebody who are listening know you're doing this. What's happening is the 308 is the next round to go to because it's the next one in line for, again, quantities of economic battle rifles that we already have in service. One of the things I would point out was last time you saw a good can of some 6.2x54R Russian for a good price. Now, there's some stuff out there, and really what's going to be coming in for this point forward is either going to be the Serbian PPU Or it's going to be some of the odd man stuff out that has been, you know, a warehouse somewhere and somebody's coming off from as part of their retirement package. Otherwise, 7.62x51 NATO is going to probably be in vapor mode here in the next couple weeks as it's proceeding right now. In fact, in some places it already is. Yeah, there's 43 listings for a 7.62x51 NATO on a particular page. Then you go to the section and out of stock, out of stock, out of stock, out of stock, out of stock, out of stock, and out of stock. Every last example. This is the same thing at half without six. Now, if somebody asks me, well, why is it happening the way that it is? Well, the carpet's being rolled up in terms of priorities. The OTT-6 is considered to be a high priority because of the number of 30 OTT-6 type rifles we have, which, dominantly, is either the Garand or a manually operated weapon like a Winchester, a Savage, or a Remington. It's either going to be one of the primary military arms, M1 Garand, 1903 Enfield. There are millions of privately owned. I mean, there were millions made, but we got most of them, M1917 Enfields. They were the last cheap American made rifle even into the 80s. You could still buy one for $65. It was a World War I Eddystone for $65. I bought dozens of them, tons of them. Every time I ran into one, I didn't care if it was sporterized or not. We bought it. Why? Because it's the strongest bolt action out there. And those rifles are all over the place and people have piled them up. Okay? So that's another OTT 6 that's a consumer. Now as the OTT 6 is drained, the next MBR main battle rifle cartridge that is prioritized for anybody out there who's serious about getting ready for what they see, you know, the next one's gonna hit the ground situation, they're buying 7.62x51 NATO. There's 7.62x39 and 5.56 out there constantly. But the heavy superiority weapon rounds are what they're looking for. First, the least expensive is being bought up. You'll notice this, and again, it's pretty obvious. The cycle is happening, repeat, ad nauseam. Then the middle grade, and obviously then the, oh my god, I wouldn't normally pay that price for that ammo, but it's all they got. Plus it's a specialized round. Okay, I might justify that. And then it's all gone. So we're seeing the same cycle. Well light rifles lots of stuff out there 556 is going to continue to come in and to some degree somewhere The other thing though go ahead color and 62 tracer in 76 251 over at the American marksman.com the American marksman hit.com 400 rounds 252 bucks 58 cents around that's actually not bad Now it's very very little amount over the steel case the tow ammo is a little bit cheaper Yeah, but for what it for what we're talking about by the tracer now Remember if you're dumping rounds onto soft skin vehicles or anything where you have for instance reserve fuel That tracer will do a nice job Anybody ever see a fuel tank go a couple fuel tanks go or a reservoir I was like it because it's way down at like 2,000 yards or 1,400 and then you see the fuel tank go off but then it takes time for the sound to get to you. So you see that slow motion of easy to silent and then of course there's still the echo of your rounds going down, right? So again, that's not a bad price for a tracer to integrate or what one of the things we've talked about and I don't care if using a 5 5 6 7 6 2 by 39 whatever enemy captured weapons Tracers are used for command signaling within the fire team Let me give you an example of how the tracer is useful if I was carrying say an M1a I'll probably be carrying that or something similar I have two magazines with tracer They're on my right station, not on my left, because left is convenient for all of your standard ammunition first. And remember, you start from the back to the front because your enemy typically is farther out and closing on you. So you start with your magazines that are hardest to get to the rear first, okay? But over on my right side, I have one pouch, and I even have it tagged. I'll mark it in some way or I'll put a hanger on it. Maybe just put a couple of smoke grenades on that particular pouch if I'm using a TA-56 And what I'll do is I know that those are tracer rounds. What do I want? What do I want a magazine of tracers for? Well, it works this way. If there is a situation at night especially, but even during the day, if the fire team that I'm with and the squad that I'm with is moving and all of a sudden there is a priority target, something that if we hit it, it will break the spine of the enemy. It could be also something that can damage us bad too. The reason for immediately dropping, going to tracer and dumping tracer on the target area, it becomes a silent signal to the entire team or the fire team, the squad and maybe even the platoon. All fire to bear on that target if you see a tracer. And you see a stream of tracer on target. There's not one tracer in four ball round. No, no, no, no. It's a stream of tracer. That is a prioritize and engage. That means if you're a grenadier at a 40 millimeter, you got a 40 millimeter launcher, an M203, boom! You immediately put a round on that. But while you're doing that, everybody else is turning and dumping a complete magazine on target. And then drop the mag, reinsert another mag, wait for additional signature identification. Now remember, if you're the team leader, after you've fired that stream, you have to move. But what this what can this be? How about a mortar trying to establish itself or again a heavier crew served or a Weapon system that you didn't initially detect that can be suppressed with Small arms and indirect fire from the weapons you have in your maneuver unit So anyone who fires a stream of tracer that is a team leader, team leader is the only ones to be doing this, platoon leader, squad leaders, team leaders. If they do this, it's a call and it's an urgent call for the purpose of ensuring that we destroy something that is a threat not just to the fire team, but probably everybody standing there on your side of the battlefield. Needless to say, all weapons are, but this is something that's bigger. It can be a belt-fed gun that's being deployed, something that is a towed piece of equipment, whatever it is, anti-tank weapons. immediately all fires from all directions and if you've got rifle grenade depending on SOP standard operating procedure you may order the team leaders to designate you know in other words give a verbal order or for correction for that particular action in other words guys there's a change in the SOP here's what it is pay attention and then you give the change and then everybody understands it and you repeat it and then you repeat it a third time You reinforce, always. Okay? So again, tracers are very useful. It does not require me to shout and get everybody to stop shooting so I can tell them what I want. Everybody that can see that stream of tracer on target knows what I want. It's that simple. In fact, even the belt cutters, anybody you got that's got like a support section. Their job is to dump a 3-5-3 onto the target. What do I mean by that? 3 round, 5 round, 3 round burst. Bada-boom. Bada-bada-boom. There we go. And wait. Now if all of a sudden, it's kind of like where you're going to repeat call for artillery, but in this case it's through the use of the tracers. And as long as quickly there's no change, then you go back to engaging whatever it is that you feel is the next threat closest to you in front of your area of control. But this is the kind of, you perfect this. And it is one of those machine components that is so priceless to virtually dominating the battlefield. You don't need radios, you don't need a million dollars worth of communications equipment. It's just that everybody needs to be thinking and you also have to remember what is the SOP in policy. Some units, let me give an example. I fire a stream of five or 10 rounds of tracer on a target. Policy is everybody dumps a whole magazine on the objective and then turns back to the problem before them. You see how that works? In other words, everybody's committed to from right angle, left angle, forward contact, engaging the target. What you have in the process is a a limited integrated field of fire contact from many different positions, which means that typically whatever you engage really doesn't have any place to hide. Plus you're being hit with everything. 7.62x51 NATO, 5.56 or 30 caliber, 7.62x39, plus Grenadier weapons, in addition to that, your weapons section. will also engage and in fact as a follow-up the weapons weapons section might be told if they're given radio contact to finish what we started and so they suppress the objective with additional you know supplemental select fire on the target. We're not sure they're all dead yet. Just throw some more over there. What the hell? Let's just be safe. Okay. Anyway, we're almost to the top. To be safe, let me double check the time here because I know, yes, we are close. For everybody out there, guys, it is... Go ahead, caller. Jump in there quick. Hey, you're stating that there's no 30-06 available? Okay, I do the gun shows every weekend. It's all over the gun shows and you need to go to a site called ammo a Mm. Oh seek s e e k dot com ammo seek dot com I just went over 80 listings and I stopped and it went on for pages ammo seek dot com 30 out six over Right, right. We've used the MO-Seek site before. Now again, the issue is price. So that's what we're looking to see, what the cost is. And we're looking for all ammunition first. Remember? 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 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 blamed. 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 Iookeed 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 and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our corny one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines and occupied territories east, southeast, south, southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us. www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we are on satellite, let's say hi to all of our merchant marine operators and listeners across the whole of the globe along with a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday, the middle of the work week. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 11th of May. It is the 14th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face. Fabian, socialist, and Soviet, socialist, occupation of America with a K. 2022, old earth calendar, 2022, battle for the republic. the dance of swords. And of course the cast of characters are changing with the Twilight Zone Fruit Loop crew that you got in DC. Remember Barry Satoro slash Obama is the problem. And because of that all the other Fruit Loop caricature cartoon characters that you see that are before you in the district of criminals especially within the Peto Sniffer Meat Puppets White House. It's not his, it's Barry Chaturros, it's Obama's White House. He's just there up front. He's stumbling and bumbling. Now even the regime has been told by Obama's clique, the ones who handle him, Valerie Jarrett. Don't forget that frog mouth piece of trash are out there telling you that Biden is the one. Biden, he needs to go. It's like, whoa, they just got him in here. It's only been a year and a half. I mean, come on, where they going with him? So anyway, and of course, and the rest of the characters, the fake republic rats, of course, are parroting whatever they're told to parrot. And the rest is history, as they say. So anyway, we got other things to worry about. Most important is, again, food and ammunition, both are weapons. It's weapons Wednesday. One of the things to keep an eye out for are distress stores. There are a few. We got one up towards actually northwest of Bay City. There's a really nice facility up that way. I don't have the name of the top of my head. I've got our friends out there looking. It is still open. One of our other longtime supporters and listeners. used to use the site. They have phenomenal prices on not outdated food, but because they do trucks. Truck wreck insurance claims, etc., etc. So a lot of this stuff is same stuff that's on the shelf, but whenever they get it, if you see it and it's cheap like 10 cents an item or 17 cents an item or a nickel an item, you buy it. All of it, okay, in this day and age especially. So the same is true with watching any of your other chain stores and box stores. The artificial intelligence is running things, okay? My favorite is, I've said many times, you know, when the MREs were reasonably priced, like surplus, when surplus was reasonably priced, it made sense to use it. But when surplus is so inexpensive, whoa, somebody's dying there. Are you being strangled? I'm sorry, Mark. I'm sorry. Oh my God. I don't know, I can't see, so I thought I had it unmuted and I called for the floor and then I muted, but I guess I unmuted and you didn't hear me call for the floor. All right, Damon the thumb here, I've got those bags of trace minerals and iodine in those bags. Yes, definitely. They have iodine. So I'm in the farthest northeast section of Lapeer County and they are available. And I also have pallets of that stuff available in 50 pound bags. 40 bags to a pallet and I also have five gallon buckets of liquid, humic acid, 6% with the fulvic acid and I also have that for human consumption in a five gallon pail. David, expect a call later this evening. Okay, you got my number there? You got my number there? Yeah, the 810 number I got it. That's me. Yep. Okay. Okay. Thank you. And again for everybody out there the idea behind this is that we have to be the solution. If you have soil and or you have other specific in-house production needs for food, remember we need to build things up. Also we need to take care of our own personal management. with regard to nutrients, minerals, especially trace element minerals are something that in the Midwest, it's not that we depleted it because of man, it just wasn't there, the mix up is different. We have phenomenal water, we've got great topsoil, some areas we do have the mineral composition necessary, but others, not so much. So this is another reason to understand and how and again when working the soil, you know, you do pH test for instance. Base or acidic is something first of all we need to be concerned with and it's something you need to balance out. But in addition to that you can also do soil surveys so that you can identify what's missing. Now I will tell you as I've said many times, we actually had a friend of ours this last week. They asked him, they tested him for goiters. And why did they test him for goiters? Because iodine is a shortage item in the United States. And goiters is the result of iodine shortage. Now, in the past, way back before we had electricity, they figured this out and they iodized salt. Why? Well, because everybody used salt. Salt was used by everybody. So the cool thing is that by using the salt in whatever you were using it in, you got that trace element of iodine that you needed to keep the body healthy. Okay? And there's a lot of other elements, minerals that are like that. Copper is another one. No, we don't want you to start. Well, actually, you probably know enough about copper now. It's the en vogue thing for the moment, and rightly so. But not the only one you need to worry about. Anyway, our friend tested and they said, nope, you don't have goiters. Also, your vitamin C count looked good, which is kind of cool because it turns out that because you've been doing ever since way before we had the coronavirus virus, none of us got sick from that. But that's because we boosted our system up and have on a regular basis. Using the iodine specifically, there's a number of different ways you can take it in. But obviously, if you already have it in the food supply, and if you're getting it from the ground, from the soil, from the food that you're producing, then you're still good to have the supplement, but you've taken care of it through natural occurrence. Well man-made but still the natural food cycle. Okay, so iodine is a very very important item scurvy Vitamin C. The reason I mentioned that is in the MDOC guys they had scurvy in the prison population Because they were mouth they were being maltreated with regard to diet Scurvy something that four or five hundred years ago. Everybody figured out And in the glorious 20th and 21st century, the state, in its infinite, idiot wisdom of the purple-haired Trotskyites that now run everything, the idiot sticks, men haters, especially when you have the men haters, more on that in a minute. The men haters, they wanted to starve them, block medical treatment the whole nine yards. At St. Louis Prison in Ann Arbor, or again, in Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, that's the communist enclave, St. Louis, Michigan, they had a clutch of female counselors at the prison system there. They did everything they could to do damage to the inmates. Now, this is level one, level two, I think they had a level three. No, three city odd man out. Level four five they had scurvy occurring there, but not only that for instance when they were away from the site these men haters grabbed a Retarded boy Had sex with him for I mean, maybe maybe maybe not but here's the thing the perverts. Okay, these women all got together grabbed a boy Molested him for whole of the evening. It was during the middle of winter And then when they were done with him, they took him out at three o'clock in the morning out in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near any farm, threw him in the snowbank, in the ditch in a snowbank naked and left him there, unconscious. The kid apparently regained consciousness. Walked a distance fell in the road was found by another snow truck that was coming through who fortunately didn't plow the kid and These prison counselors Well, that's attempted murder by the way. Well, first of all, they had an underage kid He was like 13 years old but this this whole clip clutch clutch. It all worked at the st. Louis prison First thing, the first thing molested the kid. Of course if you're a guy you'd be going, well, you're going to be great. You hadn't seen these people, okay. But then on top of that, after they doped out and drugged out, drunked out, whatever, they panicked and so their logic was they would get the kid killed. They stripped him of his clothes and dumped him in a snowbank. What did they get for punishment? They got to keep their jobs. They had ankle bracelets they got they were out they were released with you know attempted murder charges and By the time they were done all they softened everything up and the governor of course the the he she ate at the time, you know Well, we just got to understand these people because they were dikes that were men haters and They got away with it They still had their jobs, they had to wear ankle braces, so they had to stay at work, but well that's not a big deal because they were all running together in the same prison. So you have twisted, wicked, evil, rotten people that did everything from trying to hurt the individuals inside their job workplace as part of the prison system, and this was including malnourishment and also lack of medical support even after they identified the problem. And although again, they were forced to address it because people from outside stepped in and applied pressure, but only because. Otherwise, who knows how many guys would have died of literally of something that we already, the British Navy and the American Navy knew about, what, 500 years ago? Between five and 450 years ago, they figured out. That's quite famous. So scurvy and on top of that again, goiters, something that is, you know, ridiculously simple to deal with and something very quickly is a problem in the population in the Midwest right now, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, etc. You mean the lines figured out about vitamin C? The lines? But loin may's, of course, with the loin may beans. But on top of that, you know, yeah, the other thing too, as you think about that, you know, everybody always thinks, yeah, I'm going to peel an orange. Guys, if you're on a ship, you realize how food was on a fighting ship or a commerce ship. You didn't peel, you ate the whole thing. Why? Because all of it, well, first of all, you could eat it. But it's interesting, limes, lemons, needles to say oranges, grapefruit, grapefruit weren't as dominant. All the variations, grapefruit's actually a bread product anyway. But in addition to that, needles to say pineapple. So kind of like when they bought liquor, well potatoes, raw potatoes, I have vitamin C. Potatoes were already in the inventory, but potatoes can only last so long. So food storage issues, another thing we've talked about here with regard to food as a weapon is methods of storage. Now getting into your raw food production progressively here as things go to Helen Hancock, I highly recommend that you look at putting in a root cellar, a real root cellar. Guys, go to YouTube, you can see a dozen or a hundred or a thousand different designs. All of them work. One of the tricks, for instance, things you need to know down the road, carrots are your friend, but carrots are really cool. You don't have to pick them at the end of the season. If you don't know this, you can take carrots, plant as many as you can, seed up as many areas as possible. When you're at the end of the season, what you do is you acquire straw or you make straw from that. Straw doesn't have to be made from the wheat products or the other hay, probably from the hay line as you're normally familiar with it. It can be done in other ways, but you need to cover the carrots and you need to mark where they are. Now you can do that with string and steaks and whatever. During the winter, what you do is you come out and just take the carrots out of the ground. You peel the snow back, brush the snow back, move the straw, extract the carrots that you want to use, however many you want to pull, and then cover the, put the straw back in place, put the snow back in place. Oh, you don't want the snow to go. That's an insulator. And then you take the food product inside, you've got carrots. Now with some things you need root cellars. Now the trick is if you do harvest the carrots with a root cellar you leave everything on the plants. Of course it depends on how desperately hungry you might be because greens are used before the storage product is because they don't last as long. Any beet tops or anything like that for you know again greens that's the first thing that you're going to be consuming. The beet itself can be stored and like I said the other day here, in fact I just watered them, you can take beet tops and grow new beets. Now that's even after you, what you do is you've already cut the greens off and then you let them sit in the barrel or in the basket if you've got a bushel basket, if you've got whatever storage system you're using, they'll start to continue to grow. When you see little sproutlings, When you do harvest those, when you decide to butcher them, so to speak, for the kitchen, when you chop the top off, guess what? Don't boil them first, chop the top off, put them off the side, a little piece, not very big, only about an eighth of an inch worth of material. And then what you do is you turn around and plant them. Say Mark. Amazingly enough right now I have about 16 beats right now already started that all came from the toss out from the other beats that were cooked. Go ahead, color, jump in there. Yeah, it's next, Max. Hey, is that true about... Did the sailors or ship people back way back in the when they first started sailing? Is that true about them using sauerkraut? If a sauerkraut you can preserve. Oh yes. Thank you. It preserves vitamin C also. Yes, absolutely. Kimchi. Okay, the counterpart. Oh, yeah. Oh, I love Kimchi. But I also love sauerkraut. But yes, that's true. Sauerkraut is, well, any of the pickled foods. Okay, let's think about this. My favorite line for the life of me is one of the pirate movies, the guy who played, come on, he played Long John Silver, always had the peg leg, black and white, right? And they're planning on mutiny, having a mutiny against the officers, right? And you know, like, okay, Bob, you know, Bob and Schmidlap and whatever, you're going to be taking the arsenal, the armory. Okay. And you're going to be handling the bones and his mate. Okay. And you and you and you, you're going to be, we're going to wait till they're all at dinner. And then we're going to storm the captain's cabin. And he goes, oh, they'll be meats and there'll be foods. And the one old guy who's got one eye and he's got most of his teeth gone, he goes, and they have pickles. And it was specifically the way he called it out to me, it was like, yeah, they've got pickles. But yes, there was another way to store the food more efficiently. The brine has a lot of different minerals in it. And remember, you're not using what we call a processed salt. Back in the day, these were conventional mineral salts. So not only did you get the salt, which you got enough of that laying around you in the ocean, but you also took in a lot of the other trace minerals that were critical. So that's another advantage. You use a pickling salt or a kosher salt as people call it too, for processing and storing anything from sauerkraut to pickles to of course also brining meat. Which is another thing you know we always talk about salted pork, but guys you ever had pickled pigs feet or pickled egg pickled Yeah, pickled eggs pickled ham hocks Where'd that all come from well efficiency and storage? There's so many different methods you pepper you can you can pepper you consult you can sugar Okay, and then you again vinegar slash pickling is one of the other techniques, which is a combination using the salt and needles to save the acids. So all of them, the guy who was it, since you had to do it, why not make it desirable? And so look at how many different types of sauerkraut you actually have out there. Now, these were all fermenting. That's another thing to remember so that they were in a fermenting process like sauerkraut is. When you do traditional sauerkraut, you scum it. You know that you're going to have a certain amount of material that forms on the surface. You take that off, then toss it. Other people use that to actually make other products. You don't waste it because that fermented material can be used for any number of things, including moonshine. Remember, we got soda-coat and we got something to drink. This is not bad. Don't you mind that? Burp. You know what I mean? So, you know, I've got pickles, I've got a soda-coat, and I've got, what is it? It's about 160 proof blood. Don't worry, we're not carrying what it is. You'll forget where you are. Thank God, I was on this ship for two years. We still haven't touched land. Okay, so... Go ahead. Go ahead. Real quick, and don't forget the lawn part. Yeah. Well, okay. Go ahead. Biblical diet tax max. No lawn pork for you. Right. Well, we're not going to eat the captain. Okay. We're going to throw him over the side. Okay. Could I throw one thing in here, please, gentlemen? Getting back to the shallow ground. Getting back to the sauerkraut, that is how it was determined, scurvy. Okay? This is what the captain would eat. This is what his crew would eat that would eat with the captain in the state room, but it was not privy to the rest of the ship's people, right? And so I can't remember the ship, the captain or the doctor's name, who finally began to figure out that why the captain and the crew that ate with the captain in the captain's chambers were not getting scurvy. So what it is is a lack of vitamin C. So let us get back to cabbage. Cabbage has a huge amount of natural, immediately available vitamin C. So we have that there. as nutrients and supplements. And then when the cabbage goes through the fermentation process, it acquires bacteria, but it is a beneficial bacterium, a probiotic. small intestine, large intestine, and colon, versus antibiotic, which is designed when we need it to kill all bacterium in our body. If it is successfully administered and taken in its full regimen, it will do that. Okay. Except for the fact of overuse and beginning antibiotic regiments and not finishing the full regimen of antibiotic. Over. Exactly. One of the things we've talked about is if we go back and look at how things develop, we assume it's just people just produce this food, you know, just ended up randomly in their laps, so to speak. The food regimen of each culture typically balances out the body in one form or another. If you take a look at, we just mentioned kimchi, and then remember we're looking at rice. Everybody always jokes fish heads in rice, but whatever possible, you use fish, but fish heads didn't go to waste. The big thing here again is that you have all of the trace amino acids. You end up with most all of the vitamin balance there, plus because of the acids that are tied in, they help to break down what one foodstuff or another is in the inventory that may be difficult and requires aggressive action to digest. Remember, everybody says the Romans ran on wheat, which is true, they did. But guys, they literally ran on wheat. In other words, your ration was so many leaders, well it wasn't leaders, whatever the, you know, sick, gnar-somes, whatever, of wheat were issued out to each soldier. And then they had a vinegar ration. And everybody goes, ah, vinegar. Well, again, they were raised with this diet. It was integrated. Don't forget olive oil, olive oil, and meats. All of this combined helped at one compliment and broke down the other. The German cuisine is the same way. If you take a look at the Central European Which by the way is also a highlands guys, it gets bitter ass cold in those countries. When you're into the Germanic lands, you have to have a combination of calories and then needless to say, all of the mineral buildup to support the system through what partially is a dark age. In other words, for six months out of the year, not only is it cold, but it's dark, you were snowed in. You're limited in operations and access too because again the nature of the environment. Every population came up with a combination through natural progressive development selection solutions that dealt with the problem. Interestingly enough, they may not have known, well, I can't see that. We can't insult them. Everybody understands that there's a problem. It's just each one came up with their own idea of how to create the solution. And what's interesting, it does create fantastic variety once you have a country like America where all this stuff comes together. You know, there's no place else like this when you think about it. We actually, and they're pissing and moaning about us and they hate us and this and that and the other. But if you think about it, they're probably not one of you listening, even though you might not have liked all of it. You've probably had a chance to sample every part of the planet's cultural cuisine at one time or another and most of the world can't say that. I want you to just think about that. Yeah, and so we actually can experiment. We actually have done it. Well, if you find that you gravitate to your personal taste, remember we've talked about that. And so I'll have no hackers. No haggis. You can know what's in the haggis. Yeah, you can eat what's inside. You don't have to eat the good. I'll watch you. I'll take care of that for you. I'll chew you that until tomorrow. You know what I mean? But you can have the oats. But again, the other thing is that the benefit we've had of being able to live so high on the hog, we literally have. More so than any other country in history, I think. I know there's a few points where yeah, Rome had good variety in the core and still despite all of the wars which are the nature of society rather than the odd man out. When you think about the cost and materials, what it is we've had available, we have such a benefit of selection that likes it which nobody has seen in history. Invading armies and invading forces have a degree of that, but it's always in the minority form. Whereas we have the option to select, and it could even feast on a particular national cuisine until we burst from it. In the past, the Mongols would roll over a country, yeah, they'd be eating whatever they were eating for a while, but remember that their culture is such that the idea was to literally assimilate anybody and everybody in the path, either kill them or they're slaved out. But they have to embrace the empire's policy and style. So whatever uniqueness they had wouldn't last very long. unless it was something very very very very popular, it was destroyed, intentionally destroyed. And this is true with a lot of other cultures, South America was especially like this. The Incas and the Mayans were not very adaptive. In fact, their invasion policy was very narrow. And for that reason, they also had other food issues because of the nature of the philosophy that drove the society. Something nobody talks about go ahead. I heard another voice caller jump in there, please She's a weed or stamped into the Roman coins Guess you celebrate it being so important. Oh Yeah, yeah. Yeah So again, the important thing here is we have the ability to tailor what we need. We know we can save this country I'm not going to save it for the enemy. In fact, that's why I've argued again. We have all of these opportunities and all of these things that we know that we can save and preserve. But to do it, we can't let the country proceed as it is right now. We really are diversified. We're more diversified in the pink haired or purple haired fruit loop nutcase that we've allowed to gravitate to government, okay? And in fact, I would say that again, The degradation has reached its limit. We can't let it go any farther. So we are going to have to kick ass, take names, and then we can get on with enjoying all the things that we do know. But, and again, passing on to our friends and our family and allies so that we can build better, really build better. Okay. And half of the building better is eating well. Okay. And enjoying it in the process. But, one thing historically, this kind of is in line with what I was talking about with the battlefield. We haven't had a real war in a very long time. My dad, World War II, again, what he saw through the Pacific, he went through half of the Pacific, not all of it. Friends that I've lived with and grew up with, people that I've known, I listened to, people I served with. Guys, they starved. It wasn't, gee, which MRE should I pick out? It was, like I told you, I know a guy who was, I know three men who were with Meryl's Marauders. Michigan had a ship, excuse me, Michigan had a bunch of people who served mostly in the Pacific because we were around water. You know the Army government, the War Department figured, well, if they live around the Great Lakes, they should know how to swim, right? So, if you'll notice, there's a preponderance of Marine and Navy that come from the Great Lakes states. And part of it is true, we did have a lot of people, but nowhere near the number they took, okay? But I know three different men were at Guadalcanal, well five, six, seven men were at Guadalcanal. And Meryl's Marauders, like I said, the most, he said, one of the, you know, Ronald said this, he goes, you've never seen anything until you see a DC 3 fly overhead and they kicked these 150 pound bags of rice out with no parachute at treetop level and everybody was starving guys and they the bags hit the ground and exploded literally exploded and just burst all over the floor of the of the rainforest they were in he goes there was 300 guys on their hands and knees one their left hand they got open up And with their right hand, they're picking grains of rice with mud and dirt all over them, trying to get a handful of Japanese rice so that they can make a meal. Between all of them collecting all that rice that spread all over, he goes, they were starving. They were eating anything they could get their hands on. Not people, but again, they knew better than that, but it was real depredation. Our troops haven't seen any of that. This generation hasn't seen anything near that. We start this war like we're talking about now you will You have a world war With okay, think about this. This is why this all over everything we're talking about is so critical buy more food and ammo both are weapons We have we have allowed the the Communists and the global of monarchist to create the global mechanism But not in its entirety yet. We're on the edge and we have to fight now. But if they if they start a war you've already seen this you we don't even have a complete conflict right now We just have the usual screw-ups because the socialists are all in the wrong place and they're just by the nature of their malfeasance incompetence and stupidity We now have bare shelves also intent by the ones who are in charge But the ones who operate things they're dumb as a box of rocks because the only ones are allowed to hire are dumb as a box of rocks Now this is peacetime what happens when but when and when all of a sudden you get into a real war because you already saw it happened to World War two Every for every ship that went out in the first days from the United States Every ship there for every ship that went out. It was a 50-50 draw about Whether or not you were going to the bottom for every one that went out one went down Ten ships go out nine might not make it Now that was food, that was munitions, that was weapons, that was trucks, that was raw materials, it could be anything. But it went out 200 miles and went straight down three. Still sitting there right now. Still sitting there to this day. In the deep dark depths of the Salton Sea, okay? Yeah Mark, so earlier today I wish I could have called in to a show I heard, whether we're talking about... everything the Biden crime family administration has done has failed. I wish that could have called in and said no. They've been very successful in heavily damaging this country and our economy and the system that delivers all the necessary goods. They've been highly successful. Just like you know. Well, absolutely. One of the things though, you know, example is guys pissing them on it because they didn't get their favorite MRE weather in Afghanistan. They're stuck in an outpost and they got food piled up and they have no maintenance on it. I was talking to somebody about, about this a couple of days ago, but it's something that was going through my mind today. Every time I think about it, there's this outpost and they were flapping their yap about it. How, you know, it was a bad location. You might recall, you may have seen it. God, I don't even care about the name. But here you got a little garrison of Americans and all of them had their thumb up their ass. The team leader obviously had his thumb up his ass. Why? They had food up the yin yang, but their food was breaking down because there was no management on the food. They had MREs and they're going, all we had were MREs. It's like all you had was MREs. In Guadalcanal, they were killing monkeys and eating them because at least they had protein. And they were chewing on whatever they could find that was edible. And mostly they were eating Japanese rations they captured from the Japanese. So here these guys are in a bad location. They did nothing to develop their defenses. Basically it was worse than going to the bazaar to buy CDs so you get yourself stabbed or clubbed or shot to death. But they're in a combat zone. Did they improve the position? No. Did the team leader or the OIC do anything to ensure that the site was properly squared away? Because it was the responsibility of the officer in charge. But let's say that there wasn't an officer in charge but a senior NCO. They didn't manage the food, they didn't manage the water. Whatever they had, they just kind of used it as they felt like it, dropped it wherever they wanted to, and they had a bunch of local peasants that basically were doing what they were told until such time as the Hillman told them to kill him. And basically that's what happened when all of a sudden they decided it was shooting season, and the affiliates were stuck. Again, with their head up their arse. And you were supposed to feel bad for it, but I watched it as like virtually everything that we were taught has been thrown out because of the laxityzical and the pampered condition of the troops. They've never seen hard times in life and they've not even seen hard times in combat. Hard times, okay? Yes, we know about how the fighting is. Bad times, fighting? Everybody. Yeah, they all had that. They got to experience that. But the hard times, the tipping- New Guinea was also quite a hoot for the men. Oh, yeah. All of those. Oh, New Guinea, you have the lost patrol. Remember they sent a battalion over the hump? Thank you for bringing it up because here's another one about that particular. My dad talked about that. He said, you know, they decided to send a unit straight across New Guinea. They died of every kind of disease you can imagine. They weren't killed by the Japanese. They went through and they came out with stuff nobody had ever seen before. He said some of these guys had infections, their arms blew up, literally just blew out. Where they got scratched, cut or whatever and whatever the hell was deep in the middle of that jungle that man had never touched Some of the stuff that happened to those guys they you know they died by inches But they weren't shot at by the Japanese They literally were sent through is almost like it was there they were a research pack And it was well, we're going straight across Well, that's not probably good. The natives even told them we don't go there. Why are you? Yes It's kind of like during desert dust part one the adventure begins but especially part two guys south of Basra is What's called the land of death? Well, that's what you if you translate what the Iraqis call it They don't go there during certain times of the year But because we know more than the natives, we decided to plop people's arses there, and they ended up with all kinds of additional diseases, separate from Gulf War illness, that were problems for them for the next 10 years. Now the natives, the locals told them, you don't camp there, you don't go there, we live here and we don't go there. certain times of the year you stay out of there. Why? Because it's the bottom end of the swamp networks of the northern end of the Persian Gulf. You know what they did? Completely ignored the locals and all the people who were trying to help and they just did their own thing. Now maybe government wanted that. Maybe the pentagram wanted to do some R&D and pick up some new vassilae by putting our people in harm's way. But the locals still did save a lot of people because they explained, you know, guys, you need to do certain things. But first of all, try to get out of here. OK, this has happened over and over again. The big thing here is, though, again, when we're talking about what we're situation right now, if they hit any part of the system, guys, and I'm talking about a real war, merchant ships are going to go down like flies. They have no defense whatsoever and they are going to be optimal targets. You're not going to keep letting everybody resupply from the global grocery store or the global, especially since they've set us up so that we have to have items from outside our system that we then get as final products here. Why would you think your enemy is going to continue to let you do that? Only an idiot, a fool or an incompetent would believe that that could happen. Instead, like I said years ago, it's like, wait a minute, you're concentrating all this stuff into particular areas. No single area can do for itself. Well, that's not an accident. That's part of screwing us. And then, of course, you get us into a conflict and America, well, the parts don't show up. You know what's really cool? There's a piece that James Earl Jones did here decades ago now, back in the 90s, to see American. It was the Second Civil War. It was done with all the cast characters you'd recognize. It's kind of like, again, like America with a K. Only in this case, it was kind of caricature in Dr. Strange Love format, but... realistically some of the things they pointed out. Well, you guys agreed to, they said, well, why can't our tanks move? Well, Mr. President, you have signed this agreement to have the parts made overseas under this trade agreement and well, they're not gonna deliver the parts. Well, we'll wage war against them, sir, we really can't go to war with them because we can't get there right now. You see, so this is the if you're beating up the five-year-old buying blanket It's a classic post-war World War two policing action where you you know, you're all kinds of game arrangements so that nobody gets too antsy But now you keep pressing the envelope and they're intentionally doing this to create a significant conflict Well, whoever is ahead of the queue on this one and that's all of us We win It's that simple you win at the very least. Let's put it this way. You're not starving You are you better not act like you're eating well We've talked about that aspect of web food as a weapon You remember do as the natives do look like the natives do In fact, when you go out, kind of like they joked him, it wasn't zombie land where, you know, oh, come on, who was it? The comedian. When he was going out dressing up like the zombie and acting like a zombie, but it's like he said, you know, you got to look gaunt. You can't look like you're, you know, you're looking pretty good. You actually look like you put on a few pounds. At least you look healthier than everybody else who doesn't look so healthy. You got to watch that. Because people are strange, strange animals when they become animals. proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Think ahead. But if we think as a community and we think as a group of people and we think as a tribe that we should be, as a tribe, nothing wrong with that at all, we'll do just fine. Better find your tribe though. You all better find your tribe. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. May I mention one other thing real quick here? The caller that called in earlier about the hemic acid and the bags of, I believe it was minerals, he's right on target. There's a United States Senate document that came out in 1936. It is U.S. Senate Document 264, U.S. Senate Document 264. And it is a feces gone in 1936. What was going on with all of the top soils and growing areas in this entire country of US? It's unbelievable. And it has to do with the demineralization of our soils. Minerals, trace minerals, elements, trace elements. It is a thesis on this. So anyone wanting to gain the knowledge how to grow food the most successfully or most successful way is we first have to garden our soils. Sure, we can spend all of our blood, sweat and tears putting our precious seeds and soils that that will not do much for our plants. And also, along with us, pH is of utmost importance. You can have all of the 72 plus elements in the soil. If that pH is out of that, too out of balance, the plants do not have the ability to take up the nutrients that they need and they know exactly what that is and when. So, demineralization of our soils. So, what is the state of affairs of our soils in this country as we speak? Once again, U.S. Senate Document 264. Over. That document was actually produced in around 1910. It wasn't put out until 36. So they knew this way back then. And guess who was in charge back then, or who was taken over? Rockefeller, Carnegie, all those scumbags. They were doing lots of nefarious stuff and one of them was, you know, demineralizing the soil. And the damn dams have so much to do with all of that. So save your wood ash, folks, and put it back in your soil. That will help. Yeah, as a matter of fact, remember, thank you. Appreciate it. By the way, hold on. Let's see how close we are. Oh, we only got a few minutes. Well, we got about nine. Real quick on that note, remember guys, storage and stowage. Some of what you're doing is not so much, it is a waste product from one direction, but it becomes a useful tool in another category of what you're having to deal with on a daily basis. Now let's not forget, you can also make this a trade item. Anything where you have the ability to produce a surfboard, an excess, means that you have a marketable product. Now, if there's way, way too much, the cost overall is minimized because you have a lot of competition. But most people aren't thinking ahead or aren't thinking in the same cycle. They will eventually realize maybe the error of their ways. But the fact is that, you know, everybody always talked about, you know, how can you make an economy or what can you do to find a niche? A lot of the raw materials that you need easily can be produced, it's just most people don't have, quote unquote, the working knowledge. So by saving certain product, potash is probably the best example. Building or manufacturing potassium, okay, being able to harvest it the old fashioned way. This is why animal husbandry was so critical. Different phosphates that can be produced. Remember, if you have cattle, if you have pigs, you have beef, or if you have chicken, you typically have bedding. And if you have bedding, traditional barns, which usually had either a stone, and in most cases a limestone foundation, or a cement foundation, then what you do is you literally, in fact, you promote the development of the combination of the urea, the feces from the animal combined with the bedding, and you crop it so that when you peel it back, you see those white crystals that you built up underneath all of the firmament there? Guys, that's a product. When building ammunition, the farmers of Europe and America were actually taught how to do what I just described. And there used to be collection units that went around that were basically mineral shinies. And what they did is they would collect what was put together by the farmers. It would then go to the processing plant for prying and purification. And then it would go on to the munitions plants for building black powder. Now potash for other other processes think about this Potash for doing soaps if nothing else soap doesn't sound too critical I mean it's a simple item, but if you don't have it the world smells different Yeah And again, it's one of those products that people know how to do it But don't necessarily either have the time or don't want to spend the time which is where you create a niche and create an economic niche for yourself. And in the process, you can, through the barter, trading and exchanging process, build up wealth. Okay, think ahead. Remember, we gotta be able to work an economy. You can do it on a larger scale and there's all kinds of industrial capabilities, but those are lost to us. And in fact, with every passing day, the greater betrayal of America, the destruction and stupidity of the education system and the intentional dumbing down of the population there. I mean, look at the purple hair fruit loops you have now they can produce nothing. And they're in fact, the only thing they're good for is I want is I want, but otherwise, you know, they can't do. And this is a big problem. It also means that basically where they are is in the menial labor category of the labor pool. There's very little in the way of functional gray matter with a lot of these people. The term, you know, they will become masters of the idiot stick. In other words, the shovel is about all they're good for operating because they don't have the wherewithal on the best of circumstances to get anything accomplished. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. They'll have an opportunity to develop, let's put it that way. But under no circumstances are they gonna be allowed to be any voice. or manipulative force. I mean, the only way they can do it is what you've seen where they've tried to burn down the country. They've used these idiot sticks as a way to destroy society. And the very fact that it's been mapped out for us means that we know where the problem is and we also know what needs to be done to deal with it. Now we need to get rid of the problem. Now there's a couple of ways that can be handled. Some things we're not going to be able to fix. But we are going to fix for us and for our country and our future We are going to we're gonna fix the country, but we're gonna do it the right way. Go ahead call our ship in there, please. Yeah, this is JW You know, this is a very Important topic for me. We were talking about minerals and then the last caller mentioned stat statins You know In my experience, because I'm in health care, I've been promoting and yelling about the importance of minerals for over 25 years. I myself was sick at one point in time and I had to reevaluate how to stay healthy and I started doing my own gardening and I started amending my soil with multiple sources and my focus was minerals. Back in the day they used to put seaweed on garden beds. There's a reason for that. In my mind, and just continuing with the previous caller talking about minerals and medication, the way I see it is, if we can focus on our mineral content, amending the soil with various resources, we can become healthy again. to a point that we can actually be able to function and defend this country and not be dependent on medication to get through the day. I mean, if we're not healthy, we don't have anything. So, you know, medication we become dependent on. And you know, this might be in conflict with my license, but I don't really care. If we focus on getting a high mineral content into our bodies. we can relinquish the dependence on these medications. And I'm going to attribute it to this. If you have a battery in your car, which all callers understand kind of the function of that, they always say put distilled water in it, right? Because if you do the opposite, for example, if you put tap water or something to that effect, it's going to change the pH. But what ultimately happens is we're just like a battery. We're a bioelectric battery just like a regular battery in a car if you if you bring the pH to a neutral or if you go into an opposite direction about the line the back of the battery will die if you put tap water in it it will die eventually or quicker the same thing is happening to this to this society that we're in people are demineralized and they are sick and they become dependent on medication and we need to break this cycle so that we can defend this country. That's all I got to say Mark, thanks for listening. Then again, we got the thinkers, they got the stinkers. I don't want to change that. Most important right now is, you know, do the research, you figure out what works best for you. We're not, you know, we do have a whole bunch of ideas. In fact, in a minute here, we're going to have Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up. Pay attention. I'm sure he's going to have a few things to say too that would be worthwhile. In addition, don't forget he does have, and I'm going to rub this in again, his copper rounds. I know we've got your ear. Guys, at least get a 20 count roll of those one ounce copper rounds. Craig can adjust the current the cost you know in FRNs accordingly needs to do that but all of you need to take advantage we need to clear the shelf off of what he has given the resource so that we can actually get him to strike another battery of the coins. Mark I'm gonna have to correct you Craig will not be up live tonight he hasn't been up live for the last three weeks he's got a problem with one of the projects he's been working on But he has not been able to do a live program. I just got done texting with him about it to see if he would be up live tonight. But he's still having an issue he's dealing with. OK, very good. Well, again, Craig for acknowledge will be up next, but it'll be canned. So again, we'll see what we can do. I'll try to get a hold of him if we can and see if we can bring him up for a little bit of time, even on the Intel report. Just a few minutes. But by the way, more to see that. Go ahead. I posted that senate, uh, document 264 in the discord, I guess. Uh, you can get three different kinds of downloads on it, or you can read it on the promiscite itself. And I... ...perpergy. Seems like I've gone off the side of a mountain so... ...beep beep. A shot down in sideline california. Nothing I can do. A teacher that I had. I went, I went through the seventh grade. I went through the seventh grade. I left home when I was ten years old because I was hungry. And I used to... I'd 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, 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, 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 to the night that 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. 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 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, get 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 and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this... Dill the land of the free. It's been the worst day since yesterday. Well, for the eighth RCT some days. Anyway, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report of our current day. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, northeast, Central and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. Say hi to all of our merchant marine operators across the globe, all of the Salton Seas. And the freshwater too, by the way. And needless to say a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 11th of May. It is the 14th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist, occupation of America with the K2022, old earth calendar 2022 battle for the Republic. The dance of swords let the dance continue and it has been a very busy week. Right up until just before we were coming up with the program trying to get more plants squared away. I've got all kinds of great soil. I mean, some really phenomenal soil I got for free. And that's going into the different actually supplementing some of the depleted soil in the winter plants that we kept going somewhere now third year in a row for production, which is really cool. So we're into the third year for several of the different food producing plants. One of them, which is kind of interesting, is nothing fancy, but is just simple herbs. The rest are all actual micro crop producers. In other words, they'll bear a three, four, five fruit in the cycle. One of them is a pepper plant. Amazingly, if it survived as long as it has. It's probably on its last legs. I don't know what the long term lifespan of certain vegetable plants are because typically they're not kept around that long. They're cycled out, if nothing else, for crop rotations. In this case, it's a jalapeno pepper plant, third year, and it's still healthy, it's firm, but it's getting big. As far as it's the girth, the center of the plant. and it's got all new sprouts, it's got all new growth in it and it's kicking big time. The other one of the beet plants which I already told you about a couple times in the program here, these beet plants we made from cuttings from the top of the beets where we had after they were in, you know, sitting waiting to be prepped, they sat a little longer and got sprouts. So when Nancy cut off the tops, I put them in the soil. Right now, I just measured them during the hour-long break. They're approximately, the greens alone are about the largest or six inches tall. All of them are edible. The beet itself, looking at how they're developing underneath, is really fascinating because they're wide, needless to say shallow, because they're cut shallow, but they're starting to thicken. So this is interesting in that we're getting complete second root production out of these beets. I could have done more. In fact, we will also potatoes. Anytime you can get more potatoes in you're better off. Another thing is wild production can't emphasize enough. I have a whole bunch of berry bushes that are being reconfigured right now. There's these serve two purposes a food be barbed wire. I love all the different raspberries especially the higher wild ones because They create an on foot impenetrable barrier, seriously. They're what the old grim fairy tales stories were all about, especially when intertwined with other traditional European barrier producers. So anyway, his weapons Wednesday real quick when I was talking about six-side a case what I mean is the original design I'm gonna qualify that there were a couple of questions I know slick side when you talk about the AR means no forward assist I would you know again liking the phrase to both of the weapons in their original configuration for the type of battlefield that they were built most of the newer weapons would be ill ill-equipped or ill-used in the same environment. Just by the nature of all the different jagged edges and 90 degree cuts, There are all kinds of solutions which add more weight to the weapon. Example is you have caps for the Picatinny rails. Well, yeah, you do cover up those razors, those sharp edges, so they don't snag things, but you add more weight and still you have a couple of significant drop points which just become better snag points like fish hooks. That's the problem with the Again, for the type of environment as a police state weapon used for occupation of somebody else's country, the M4 configured rifle with all the extra doodads and goodies on it is exactly what the police state needed. Otherwise, there are a lot of issues. Needless to say, we've talked about the caliber to begin with for environments where you can see farther than you can shoot. They're identifying Afghanistan as that, but Iraq had the same problems. Saddam Hussein was not an idiot, contrary to what everybody might think. He, of course, had all kinds of... They were coming at you issues when the war developed, but Bottom line is before the war started he zeroed in on particular weapon systems. Most people don't realize he bought a massive quantity of the SVD Dragunov in its original Russian configuration, but also in both a Russian, I believe he bought from the Czechs, and I know that he bought from the Yugos, an SVD knockoff. That's the 7.62x54 hour sniper rifle. However, They traditionally took the optics off and used it as an MBR. In other words, while they... I believe they called it that the PSL. Right, the PSL rifle is the one that the Romanians came out with. But Saddam bought everything from everybody as long as it was a better price. He'd buy another weapon system and buy it in bulk and bought it in quantity. Before we got into Desert Dust Part 1, the adventure begins, and again, later on when they were doing other Iraqi army propaganda images, there were a lot of training videos or videos of Saddam going out and visiting the training troops, you know, getting ready for the war. What's interesting is in many cases, they were all utilizing what was a complete rifle line of SVD rifles. The optics were not on board and basically they were using the standard iron sights. Now the more that you look into it, we found out that well basically they had whole units that used the SBD type action as an infantry rifle. Why? Well because they could see farther than they could shoot. So whoever can reach farther does better. So it wasn't just the Afghans. There was a comment made about the 6.8 round of why we need it because The Afghans were using the 762 by 54 are to tire out the troops, which is true. I've argued that would be exactly the case Once you take fire you have to start fire and maneuver And if you have to do it far sooner than what was expected to be your point of contact You're burning energy and if you're if you're in a firefight you're burning on-board ammunition to make up for the ground and difference because you had to go to ground and maneuver earlier. That means that that extra 3-400 yards or a thousand yards worth of travel. You're trying to return to suppress which is at heart at extreme range with your rifle while they're using a weapon just in 760x54R that can reach out with a heavier bullet and do significant damage if it hits. So just a heads up there. It does not have to be this new Wunder cartridge, three pieces brought to you by, oh God, SIG, so it's gonna be, they're gonna rape you price-wise. They're just gonna rape us. You know another reason that the country is screwed. We have the idiot sticks in the system doing stuff like this. But anyway, the fact is that we can still do this with the existing MBRs that we have and we have overlapping families of them, okay, without specialized optics, without, you know, all the do-dads. The biggest and most important issue here is developing the shooter to understand and be able to use a more effective sighting system. In fact, optics are always desirable, but they can't be the go-to for everything. And in fact, there are times when you need to give it a rest. In other words, back off of the optics, go back to the iron, simply again, because the sensitivity of the technology, and again, can you replace it? This is one of the reasons that the Raki Pre-Desert Dust Part 1, the adventure begins training, overlaps obviously from their trench warfare conditions of the Iranian-Iraq War, Iraqi War, which was, you know, fiasco, it was a dark side of the moon combat. The both sides employed MBRs though quite successfully and Lee and needless to say they were lethal enough Interesting during that conflict a whole bunch of Italian Beretta M1 grands showed up and BM 59s So those weapons are actually also in the hands of both sides through the whole of the war either because they purchased them direct as second party guns Or they captured him off the dead corpses of the enemy that they overran and whatever short offensive they had going. Then they routed the guns accordingly by caliber and manufacturer and consolidated spare parts and actually kept the guns running for 10 years, okay, on both sides. So it's interesting that This idea that you have to have all of the extra technology on board to get the job done, it just isn't true. And in many cases, depending upon the situation, if you streamline the gun to the, you know, to the nth degree and bring it back to its original design, there's far less to hang up or make a mistake with. There's less in the way. And for urban fighting, in reality, 90% of what has been added on is absolutely useless to the action. especially in-house fight, you know, fighting room to room, quarter to quarter. The lasers mean nothing. The lights are just an opportunity to identify where you need to shoot, which is another reason I try to avoid, as I mentioned many times, putting any illumination device on a weapon system, if at all possible. It's iffy on the, like, you know, the monocular that we have. That is probably the limit of what I would have in the way of an optical illumination system. that I would carry separate from say night vision or any of the thermal. There's a reason, it's just one of those things where it goes back to the light discipline issue. If I'm playing police state, sure you can get away with that all day. Cops always shine lights in people's eyes. If you're an actual war zone where you're fighting a knock down drag out dark side of the moon conflict war, no. The last thing you want is white light anywhere near your beaner. At some point someone's gonna take you up on the offer for a free shot. Not an if, just a win. Okay, so something to take into consideration there. Now another thing I wanna remind everybody about, although we need a source. Two of the sources have sold out and one of them closed his doors to the public and that was UN ammo. Now what am I gonna talk about? Well flares, smoke, and other Elune or signaling type devices. UNAML simply took advantage of the existing inventory that's out there that's offered on a regular basis of SIR, plus rescue and emergency signaling technology. Parachute flares, signaling slash star shell flares, smoke markers, and also paint, water, dye markers. Now, the water dye markers are not critical. That's something where most people won't service any purpose, except for the emergency purpose that it was intended for, hey, I need help, here I am. But the illumination flares are priceless, and the price is so ridiculously cheap that you really can't pass them up. Both the illumination ground flares... and the star cluster marker flares or signal flares are also cheap and the smoke which is typically in the orange distress color is still a good dense rich smoke discharger. It's a smoke grenade. So all of these are a good choice but what we need is to find the best price. So if everybody can we need to start doing a search. to see what we can find in best largest inventory. And yes, some people would be interested in pallet quantities. Every once in a while, UNMO sold pallets of. And the price that they offered for the parachute flares and for the marker flares was fantastic. So now with the parachute flares, you had to call down there. They wouldn't put them out on the, they wouldn't put them out. in the regular inventory or scroll, but they would let you know and give you a good price. And we took advantage of that more than a couple of times. So again, we're looking for the same product, but from other sources because several have, well, a combination of the coronavirus BS and or the affairs of the industry, the business and how things have changed. Some of these companies simply aren't selling to everyone anymore. So just a heads up there. Now, since I'm down in Arizona talking about you and ammo.com, JG sales.com, JG sales.com, www.jgsales.com has got a whole bunch of stuff. In their surplus section, you need to take a look at. And one of the most interesting things is the last item in the scroll. You go over to the scroll on the left side, you go over to the accoutrements. There's a subsection that has surplus when you go there. There's a scroll of about probably 45 items, I don't know, maybe more, maybe less. But one of the things they have are regular is a regular military issue striated nylon mylar thermal blanket. This is the far more expensive and durable model of thermal blanket. They want 1495 a piece, they are government contract issue. Take a look at the dimension. Again, they are OD green on one side. I've seen them in three color or five color chocolate. I mean, they're a chocolate chip or I've seen them in the in the standard three color desert. But we've also seen them in woodland. In this case, These are mil-spec, mil-issue, OD green on one side, silvered on the other. These are the much heavier, higher grade Mylar blanket. And they are in a military pouch, a military foil slash brown paper outside Mylar foil interior sealed environment packaging. That includes a service ID number for the DOD, etc. for the inventory so you can actually look it up. But they are reasonably priced at that $14. There isn't really anything out here for as good a price that I've seen. And you might want to pay attention to the dimensions. Look at the size of that blanket on top of everything else. But they do have them. They're at JGSales.com. Go into their military surplus section. They do have a bunch of other items there you're going to want to look at. Scroll down. And especially in odds and ends, you never know what he's going to run into. He's done some pretty good work at finding things from his neck of the woods. JG Sales used to be the crossroads for all of the Cop shop trade ins going back to the revolver days and into the automatics but revolvers was there were their niche cop, you know, police service revolvers. Not much out there now, but they do have the model 10 Smith and Wesson. It was basically it's a K frame. But with no barrel, everything else complete does require an FFL revolver. At least four different companies have barrels for that gun. So, putting a, torquing a barrel on it wouldn't be a big deal. And head spacing between the cylinder and the barrel. It's not difficult at all. So, just heads up on that. You might learn a few things. But there's a lot of other items that pop up there at JGSales.com. Okay? Next, we were talking about food. Of course, we always talk about food. Buy more food, nammal. Both are weapons. And with that being the case, watch for distressed merchandise sales, markdowns, etc. Guys, most of the stuff is so well packed that any time date stamp on it is pretty much irrelevant. One of the things that's really becoming a Markdown item is the shelf stable bread items. We just got a bunch of the shelf stable croissants and bread items from one of the stores here where they marked everything down and we got the Packages for 63 cents apiece. They were three four dollars These things are in a mylar pouch inside another my in a mylar pouch in a bigger mylar pouch You couldn't do more to seal these things. Okay, but there's a lot of items like that out there Take advantage of it. If you get it for a quarter, big deal, put it on the shelf. If you had to even toss it later, who cares? Now this will be a mix of odds and ends things. And this, when you can pay pennies and create a diversified larder, diversified inventory, that's a good thing. You don't have to worry about dying of food fatigue. Now you may have things that you'll never probably get again. So, what you do is whoever's your dietician slash cook is supposed to dole the things out so that they become a unique change in the menu. One thing to remember about managing food is, again, be creative. And especially where you have a lot of odds and ends stuff. We talked about pickles, dried fruits and foods. Nancy made a phenomenal chicken, cacciatore type meal today, but it was all from our Markdown chicken and our dried vegetable stock because she just wanted to, you know, take up all the juices. The juices went right into the vegetables. The vegetables rehydrated. Oh my God, that was good. So again, everything from tomatoes to peppers to mushrooms. We've done tons and tons and tons of mushrooms and hopefully I'll be able to get more this year. Those I have in storage reserve everywhere. Wherever we have food storage, we have dried mushrooms. The only thing that's going to change is we are looking at picking up a Mylar pouching system because we want to do freeze-dried. And if we do the freeze-dried, which some of the projects here need to be finished, but that would only be just a matter of picking the machine and doing it and probably even going out and waiting, not waiting for it to be delivered to just go picking it up ourselves from the warehouse. But if we do that, then I'd also with a dried foods, not just freeze dried, but with the dried foods, I'd go the vacuum seal with a full vacuum pull. Still the most efficient way to be able to ID the inventory for any issues. If you do the traditional full vacuum pull on the food product, the outer pouch conforms to the product line and it has no excess gas air anything internally. The advantage is if it compromises, it's easy to see that something is compromised because the pouch will loosen around the product. This is a good thing, useful. It also tells you what to use first. If you're paying attention to your inventory, I've told you before, it's like the vacuum-packed brick coffees when you go to the store. Right, they become just regular bag, easy to spot. They're not bad coffee. I mean, it's no worse than the other coffee you got. But what's happened is that the vacuum seal has gradually or mildly compromised. Now, if I had it on the shelf, that would be the first thing that I'd be using because it's not outdated. The coffee is something like that. It's not going to break down and be a problem. But I'm also managing, you should be managing your inventory on a daily basis. The big thing here again is you have to have people that work at the process. And everybody also needs to be able to cross reference. In other words, everybody needs to know everybody else's job. So everyone should pick up on the system and how to make it work. Anyway, with regard to freeze-dried, I've had several questions since we talked about freeze-dried, what, a month ago. First about the machinery idea, which we pretty well figured out what we're going to do there if we do it. There isn't anybody out there. I mean, there's a American Patriot. I think there's two or three others you'll see that are out there in the Internet world that are offering Well preparedness rations But not all of that is freeze-dried and only a percentage Typically is a lot of his dried food products, etc. That's not a problem But again, if you're looking for freeze dried, there's no great source on freeze dried right now. Pretty well the backlog on the commercial lines is pretty deep. Again, how many people are building bunkers? How many people are going out and laying down thousands of dollars for freeze dried food, etc. or whatever else they want? And this is creating a backlog in orders. So I don't know that any of the conventional sources are looking to be relieved in any way, number one. Number two, there's no surplus. We did, or in the past, we had freeze dry guy who used to, and I haven't looked recently, maybe he re-energized his business. The dad transferred the company to the sun. I believe the dad is gone now. He's a man who actually built the business and worked for like 45 years at Freeze Dry, you know, making Freeze Dry guy work. He had good connections with the DOD, Donate of Destruction. And so he had submarine rations. Now we haven't seen anything like that in a very long time. So the freeze-dried canned rations, which are typical for submarine use, all very lightweight, all again top-end storage systems canned, not pouched, and very, very successful. We used to get canned beef, canned pork, as in steaks and or chunks and or pieces. And once rehydrated, you couldn't tell whether it had been freeze-dried or wasn't just bought from the butcher shop. So the quality of the product is excellent. Again, the problem is there is no, there's no, you know, jump at it availability where you just walk out and say, I want this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and five of those while I'm at it. It's just not out there. Uh, if you have money, Oh, I'm sure you get ahead of the line. You got a big, loud chunk of money and you're rubbing elbows with the right people. I'm sure you get whatever you want first, even though somebody else might have been in the line for the last three months. You see how that works. So again, one of the other things, I saw your message there, thank you, to Jerome. As a matter of fact, yeah, well you can. We can do your own freeze drive. And this is where you can look up the technologies, only a handful of companies have produced the machinery, that's it. Now, otherwise, to be quite honest, beef jerky. Well, there is some freeze dried product that's from Tine. The freeze dried fruits that are available over at Dollar Tree. So we can't say there's nothing available. Big Lot has a comparable product line over there. So if you look at Big Lot, you'll find that over there in their fruits and snack section, they have a big chunk of freeze dried foods there. It's in the sweet foods. There's nothing in the vegetable or meat category that I've seen ever. But again, freeze dried does lighten up the weight issue. And what I've done in the past is if I have old people or young people, the freeze dried foods go to them. The concentrated foodstuffs go to them first because everybody can pitch in and carry something, but both the young and the old have issues with how much they can carry. So if you are going to have them carrying for their bug out bag or their trek kit or whatever you want to call it, That's where you prioritize so that if they get separated, they're carrying just as much food as you are, but at less costing calories to move it. The only consideration is you gotta have more water. So that person also ends up with one or two extra filtration devices to make sure that they have the water that they need to go along with the food they're carrying, which is another part of the formula. You gotta always remember, water is life, but water is... Well, you can eat freeze-dried foods without rehydrating them, but things will get dry real fast. Wow, pucker up. Not that bad, but it still happens. You know, you're getting your body's gonna have to pull the moisture that the food didn't have, but now once it's gonna, you know, it's going to work like a sponge. Okay, so again, the freeze-dried is cool, but the freeze-dried is... just like MREs is catch as catch can and there's no guarantee you're going to get any kind of good price. Maybe Dollar Tree is about it forgetting something that's at least reasonably priced. Another thing here matches and fire starters of all kinds. The more that we talked about that other people were giving me some feedback. And for instance at the The cheap stop and rob stores used to be all of the cigarette companies were offering all kinds of freebies. Which is where part of the flood in the market came with everybody having a cricket or a bic lighter or something that was comparable. And they always used to offer matches but most of these stop and robs didn't want matches because they wanted to sell you a bic. They wanted to sell you a lighter, china sport, whatever. What has been pointed out is that a good portion of those freebies have dried up, obviously. So a lot of the bulk that was out there that usually in some way you could accumulate that would be useful is not in hand either. The other problem is we made it, okay? Hey, Mark. You shouldn't fire stutter stuff, matches, letters, whatever. when bought should always be paired with Ziploc bags, right? Everything in Ziploc bags, everything. But it matches especially. I actually have been using, well, I always pay attention to changes, okay? I don't know if any of you have noticed this, but if you go to Dollar Tree, have you bought matches from Dollar Tree or have you bought matches at the grocery store lately? Now, in the past, the surface of the match was typically rather it looked to be like sandpaper, a relative very finely, finely porous like emery cloth, okay? If you haven't noticed the latest ones, by the way, the filament material seems to be thinner and it is now a glazed paste or pasty, but glazed like a pudding that is dried, okay? After it's been mixed and you made liquid, you know, you made pudding for, you know, in a bowl. The surface consistency is in that range or like a candy almost. Now that surface is typical of what you find with fire light boat matches, okay, with the extended longer filament, bigger burn, but that's not the case here. Interestingly enough, using them, which I've done the last couple of days, all these projects I'm doing, and mostly I use strikers and lighters, but sometimes I have to, you know, break use a match, it's what's in my pocket. And interestingly enough, to try and start the flame first, it took five, six, seven, eight strikes with the brand new Matchbox that we had just bought. to get the match to work. And even then, almost breaking, you know, you crack the match heads, you have to be careful. And so you're trying to support that with your thumb and running along the crappy sandpaper on the side. There's no relief with the other ones, so the same garbage for more money, but the same product is what's being sold at most of the box stores right now. So the assumption that all this stuff would just always be there and there'd always be a selection and there no That's not the case. It's like everything else. We're at the other end of the betrayal So if you do get matches seal them up if you see matches at a yard sale Where somebody has like wedding matches, you know, they're old, but you know, I got a whole case of them and this got Martha and you know Martha and Bob Grab those Chances are they're a better formula. One of the other things I watched for, I just got a yard sale here last weekend, strike anywhere matches. Now those are rare as we go, but these were in a tin for a cabin. And tins are great also. That keeps the rodentias and everything from nibbling on. So if you can, with matches, fire starters, and things that are sweet also. If you haven't looked for, watch for either Christmas tins, holiday tins of whatever kind, cracker and biscuit tins from England. They're really great because most of them are square or rectangular. They stack better and they hold more. The big thing is that again, the tin keeps the critters and the vermin out of your stuff. and matches are no different. You put them in the Ziploc bag, burp the Ziploc bag, put the bags inside the tin, and you're about as well protected as you possibly could be. Everything that we had up in the cabin way up north, we tinned. Everything was in, and the tins were antiques, of course, because I grew up with them, and the place was built before I was born. And guess what? You come back every year and the matches didn't have to use, brought some more matches with us, at least a few, whatever we got from whatever freebies. But you know what? The old matches struck first time every time. And in the great northern woods like Michigan or Canada, guys, during the winter, it is penetratingly cold and damp. And that dampness is what helps the cold too penetrate. It is a penetrating cold. And that's something that you all need to be thinking ahead about, but the moisture, that's what's gonna kill things like matches and other technologies. Even the striker material on the outside, which is getting chinsier and chinsier by the day. Not a critical, it's like that's not the center of the universe, no, but it's one of those things where you expect the product to work every time you pick the package up. And you're assuming too much if you've forgotten that the communist Chinese are doing this to us. So we need to be ready with other solutions. Steel strikers, another thing. And by the way, go to eBay, go where you want to buy those. There's all kinds of different sources. Walli World, Walmart, every three months, the electronic brain tells it to cycle and mark stuff down. And we've gotten many prep items from there. The same product just came in in the same rack. And they put that on the shelf and they take the ones off the shelf because they're outdated. and you get a brand new item for 25, 50 cents, a dollar, 25, whatever, they mark them down sometimes ridiculously cheap. It's amazing that those things get stale. Yeah, I don't know that they can, but again, it's fine by me, so take advantage of it and buy every last one that's there and then outfit your people with one for each person. If you're by yourself, get a second one for yourself, or two or three, and... Distribute them so that you have more than one kit set up. This is part of that 510 program, but also part of your personal preparedness system. So more is better. Another thing on this note with regard to Firestarter. Let me remind you of a simple trick, a couple things you should collect. Number one, Ziploc bags. Well, once you get the Ziploc bag, get one of the sandwich bags with a good zip seal on it. Take your pick, the double type or the heavier ones that are a little better quality. And leave it in your laundry room. Every time you do the laundry, when you clean out that lint catch in the dryer, take that and put it in that Ziploc bag. Now, when you get it about half full, then you take that one, go over to the little barrel you got over there that you picked up or a little plastic tub. and you grab a handful of the cedar shavings. Go get a bunch of a bundle of cedar shavings usually come up sides of five gallon pail, get them in cheapest. Anyways, take some of those cedar shavings and put them in there with that. And I mean about like a half a like a gripped handful. Put those in that bag with that lint. Then find your Bic lighter, put one of those in there. Then take two packs of matches, put those in there. Then seal up the Ziploc bag and you now have an emergency fire starter kit. It can cost you hardly anything, whatever the matches were from Dollar Tree for, you know, a package. If I can suggest a way to get fancy on that. If anybody buys eggs in the that pressed cardboard containers. You can put some of that lint and a little bit of the seater shavings in one of the egg partitions and melt a little wax of good on that. And you can even cut those like egg depressions apart and one of those will start afar quite nicely. And they're not messy. you put it together with the wax, it keeps forever. That's just a fancy part of it, but it works. Oh, ow. Yeah, and again, paraffin wax is, you know, usually you came in the scavenger from other things you might be handling. So, but paraffin wax is what you want to use. And again, all of it's burnable. All of it will enhance what you're trying to start. Needless to say, you're kindling, you're starter kindling, you're kindling, and then you're a little whatever wood you're going to burn. That's either you're going to collect from the area. You might even pick it up while you're in traveling. Always remember that. You need a little utility ditty bag and you can harvest or pick what you need while you're moving. rather than having to scrounge when you get to location, depending on what you're doing and how long you plan on being there. If it's just gonna be a short stop, the idea is that you're able to halt, you're able to, again, prep the area, secure the area, whatever you're gonna do to cook or to heat, because remember, typically it's just gonna be heating something, not necessarily pan cooking or anything like that. But you need to be able to start it up quick and shut it down. And a pod type system is perfect for that. So whatever you do, take advantage of what's in Mr. Dryer because that lint has already spent fuel and money to produce that lint. Okay, your clothes are cleaner, they're dryer and happier. But now you've got a second product, a byproduct that can be used to your advantage. So take advantage of it. By the way, little kitty hair, it's gonna be fuzz off the clothing. Whatever it is, it's all combustible. All burns nicely when you put a match to it. Something to think about. So anyway, another thing here real quick, and it is Weapons Wednesday. Oh, by the way, we are. Oh, we're way past, but you know what? We gotta do it then. We haven't done it once today. Edward, if you could. Our traditional bottom of the art break. In fact, I got in this subject that I was gonna actually Why come ye hear the red ghost? What mind you madness fills in our palace? There is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here ye not the singing of the views of the wild and free. Well, soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no frightful. We may ride a good late speed, you may know us, turn the master Your forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader, John, is stuck Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, we'll prove Noah's rifle Maggie no graves at home, back across the brine of water And Giddy must come like 12 to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Clinton's bigger, hold her back too, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Thank you, Edward. And for everybody out there, it is Weapons Wednesday. Real quick, we didn't mention it once today, so far a shame on me. 1000 mules by Jisooza. It is out there, you'll find it at Mitchoo. That's 2000 mules, man. Oh, did I say 1000? Yup. Oh, double that. You're absolutely right. 2000 mules. And the video is available out there, but by the way, support them. It did cost a lot to do what they did. When you see the video, you understand what we're talking about. The other side, we have unlimited tax dollars to lie to you, steal from you, or try and kill America. That's what the pig on the other side are all about. Before this, the only place to see proof of the stolen election was on Michael Lindell's side. Now there's a whole video proving it. Yell in the shadow of a dog. And again, this is one of many components that can be brought forward that demonstrate the activity. So share it ASAP like now, like immediately, like when you're done with the program here, sit down for a bit and share it with five, six people immediately. Also again, take time and if you can, copy it into a system so that it's stored somewhere. Preferably on a disk, okay? That way it's in another location. Trust me, we've seen the enemy burn books, burn videos, do whatever, try to kill the author. Let's make sure that this is one of the many items that is maintained and retained by everyone. That must be the only way that it's an insurance policy. Go ahead, call or jump in there. I am Mark, this is Kentucky. I use cotton balls with the Vaseline rubbed into them and I use a Bic lighter that does not have any fluid in it, no gas, but it'll still spark and that's good enough to light your cotton ball, fill your pill bottle with your cotton balls that are soaked in the petroleum jelly and then just pinch it a little bit and pull just a little bit off. Put it where you want with some dry wood or shavings or something and then use that big lighter that has no fuel in it and just use the spark off of it and that'll start your fire. Over. Absolutely. Never throw away lighters unless they're crushed and destroyed and then you throw them into the fragmentation bucket to be shot at somebody. Go ahead, call or jump in there. And Ten Thousand Mules is posted on republicbroadcasting.org and it is on their server so you can see it there for free. Very good. Excellent. And again, republicbroadcasting.org. Very good. And is it posted right up front where everybody can find it quick or are they just part of the scroll? No, it's right in there. Very good. Again guys, here's what I want you to do is tonight pick somebody if you got someone just came in to stop by the house or if you're at work, have them, hey, come over here and watch this. Come here. Show it to them, share it with them, share it to their phone, share it to their website, whatever you want to do, whatever they want. but sit people down and get them to watch it. And also pay attention to how they respond. Remember guys, you're constantly sifting. If you're looking to be able to develop people and help to understand who's who in the zoo, tools like this are very useful. It allows you to gauge the person, okay? That's one of the things you need to be doing. But even then, step by step, baby steps, you can develop a person in the positive way and double, triple, quadruple our numbers. The people are out there, they need to be connected. It's that simple. And many people think, oh, I'm alone. You're not alone by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, just a reverse. Oh my god, he fell off the table. Oh, and then he bounced. Oh, they're dragging him across the floor. They've got his wallet. Oh no. Whoever it is, oh my god, what's been face first too, because he didn't respond. Probably knocked him out. Now we're going to hear about him being stuffed in a trash bin somewhere in his phone taken. Because it went quiet. Okay. Anyway, for everybody out there, again. Take the time and share. Now, another couple of things here real quick. Cast bullets, okay? Cast bullets. Guys, anybody can plate copper plate. It's not that hard, but here's what you do. I want you to go over to YouTube tonight. Mark always gives you homework assignments. Go over to YouTube and look at the different home plating machine projects that are out there. Now, why am I going to do that? Well, Most important is that while you may not be able to afford a lot of jacketed bullets because they're a lot more expensive. If you do recover lead and you cast lead, if you plate the lead, you reduce dramatically the amount of leading that's gonna take place on a barrel. 9mm, this is very much a beneficial program using a 115 or 125 grain round nose mold. You first cast a whole ton of bullets. You build the plating machine as described right there. There's several different models you can build. They're all simple on YouTube. And what you do is you take batches of the bullets and you copper plate them. Now you can do a single wash But I've done triple plating on these and I've seen really good results but standard, a single plating layer is enough. But the more that you add, the more efficient the bullet is with regard to not leaving things lying around inside the lands and grooves. Go ahead, call her, chip in there. Okay. Great. You know, as you see for today, victory on California, a bank then that was two hours ago. And then the other one is firearms policy coalition. Will find ats. If you let it to send the district, I mean, that was done eight hours ago. And then yesterday was Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. The town's Wayne. My fear is leader of the entering out on one day ago. Those are the latest three dungeon gadget videos. out. Very good. We had one other voice here. Go ahead. He's been patient. Jump in there. Same thing Mark about powder coating. That's it. Very good. Again, that is another solution basically like night cladding. We talked about night clad Smith and Wesson. Basically they were doing the same thing. But they were doing it with what turned out to be a Teflon polymer of some kind. And it actually created a more efficient penetrating bullet. Oops. So Nightclad isn't with us anymore. Every once in a while you run into Nightclad out on the circuit at gun shows. It's worth picking up. Originally it was supposed to replace lead bullets. especially in the made-and-issued lead range problems that were developing. The nightclad encapsulated the lead, reducing the amount of peripheral lead dust and fragments that would be spread around the range. That became a real big anti-gun thing that they were doing in the 70s and 80s. And because of that, Smith came up with Nightclad, a couple of the companies came up with similar products, but then they quietly withdrew them when they found out that they created a monster product that people found out very quickly did a good job on Kevlar. So, oops, gotta make that disappear. The other thing again with regard to plating is that you can actually use a number of different materials You could use brass you can brass plate copper plate, whatever But copper is usually the easiest easiest and cheapest You can get pieces off construction sites or wire off construction sites for free. I just got probably 10 15 pounds. It's amazing to me how much Copper people are sending to the landfill Which is insane? But it's like I said people don't know what Suffering or shortages in this country and they've been conditioned to be really stupid about stuff. So we take advantage of that and again Some point I've or I've argued for years at some point. They're gonna mining the landfills Because the amount of material that has gone into them, silver, gold, copper, steel, stainless steel, God knows what the tonnage rating is, but it's got to be incredible. And the interesting thing is- Yeah, in this case, you will. Yeah, once it gets underground, guys, it doesn't break down that fast, if at all. And remember, copper, self-encapsulate is just like lead does. So the interesting thing is that most of what we originally went below the surface is still sitting there to be harvested. Anyway, we're at the top. God bless our Republic.
