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 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. It's number you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside 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? I hear the drums though. They shut off pretty quick there Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the After noon, Intelligence Report timer, Kirkie. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and daughters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Both behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, southeast, north, and west. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... at www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we are on satellite with the Idaho Merchant Marine on all of the oceans of the planet virtually everywhere and anywhere because they're mobile and the Maru group especially are pretty cool. Anyway, we're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States, including AM and FM microstations. Want to say hi? 95.7 FM the sisters. And also 91.3 FM right here in Michigan. You guys are doing a great job. That's 91.3. Anyway, it has been a very busy week here already, but for the bad guys, well, here it is. It's Weapons Wednesday and It is the 27th of July. 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 and again weapons Wednesday again the 27th of July we're kicking down the month guys And yes, Hunter Biden is not in jail. Yes, Hillary has not been arrested. Yes, the Pedos never meet puppet isn't going anywhere. Yes, Al Gore has come in to stand behind and co-move the tentacle up Biden's bung hole. Imagine that, you got like Obama behind the curtain and Snicker next to him is old Igor and they're all diddling each other holding each other's private organs with one hand while they got the other hand up the bung hole of Biden. Behind the podium there, and they're just like snickering and laughing as they create bubbly mistakes like we've already seen Yeah, it's pretty scary, but you know again wicked and evil and a disgusting image But that's the nature of the people you're dealing with in the district of criminals Disgusting bobs or turds. Okay. I look at it anyway a couple things here real quick weapons Wednesday first of all if you haven't seen the many different evaluations of what the present quote-unquote assault weapons ban slash it's a gun ban. It's a magazine ban. It's a communist power grab and for that reason they will be shot. I keep listing these idiot sicks going, oh, they're gonna take their rights away. No, stupid people like you might do the, well, we're gonna hand over our rights and turn them into privileges, but the rest of us are not, okay? Does everybody understand that this is it? Okay, we're it. It's time to defecate or get off the pot. And in this case, we're better off getting rid of them. There's a whole big long list of other problems that need to be dealt with simultaneously. And the idea is to go after the right targets. Remember, ignore the front dummies, although they'll be grabbed by somebody. I mean, God, the population's pretty well pissed across the board. Is there any place where a bite an eye could hide? I mean, and here's what's really weird is like, you know, the Hunter Biden thing, he's not relevant to much anything except he's just a power conduit for the rest of the turds and that click. But I mean, for the family there for, you know, the Pedosna for Meat puppet. But where can he hide? I mean, how many people haven't seen the Hunter Biden laptop images, which by the way, are really priceless because if you want to imagine what he's going to look like on the run being a dope head. Go watch those videos. Whoa, you sure it's Hunter bite dude. I got to look I got the videos here on file. Look at him What's he doing? He's snorting oregano again. I don't know it said here I mean he actually they're the Ukrainian the Ukrainian's were laughing because they ran out of dope so they gave him ore oregano and he snorted that up thinking it was dope So I'm I think we can get away with it. Meanwhile call the Patriots and we got him right here in the hotel room of course he's Do another wicked and evil things just like you saw on the laptop, but well He pretty pretty wasn't trying too hard to hide. He just can't change his ways Okay, not a hop head like that dudes. You do realize what it you know What's he gonna do? He's gonna do what he's always been doing and he's gonna figure that that's his way of height, okay? On the other hand, all the images show you exactly what he's all about and what he truly looks like in his natural habitat. Oh my. So anyway, a couple things. Everything basically becomes banned. By the time they're done, this is totally arbitrary and capricious. I don't know how many of you people have seen. In fact, I think we should play that. I don't think we have. I'm pretty sure that Guns and Gadgets has the piece that was sent in by one of the FFLs. Edward, if you could find it where a bat faggot is literally copying every page of a logbook for an FFL dealer. Now, if you could, but I don't want to say too much more. I think we can play this pretty quick. It's not that long, really. But it's a... Basically one of the pedo sniffers minions and doing a random check, you know Unannounced inspection. Okay. Well more on that in a minute because there's a lot of things people don't understand about How this whole effort everybody welcome back to the channel. I appreciate your time. Thank you for watching. I'm gonna quit read here you guys know that I love This particular one, I'm going to play this one again. And it's the same reason that with one of the other videos talking about, you know, the FFLs and the multi-purchase, anything that they've done since the GCA 68 is in reality in violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968's original intent and accepted what they call compromises. And again, I don't want to ruin that. First, let's go again, if we can, Ed's probably, again, looking for the video. It is guns and gadgets. And what's interesting about this is the fact that the FFL was videotaping the Idiot Stick doing this every step of the way. So, oh, okay. Well, let's go ahead go ahead jump in there. I'm sorry everybody. Welcome back to the channel. I appreciate your time. Thank you for watching I'm gonna do a quick read here. You guys know that I love our veterans and I'm doing this read because this is something how we can help our veterans out geology skincare is partnering with booze bears to create 333 NFTs with all proceeds being donated to project sanctuary a nonprofit organization that focuses on veterans and military families In addition to the NFT sales, Geology will be donating one skin care set for every NFT minted to Project Sanctuary to be given to a military veteran.

I'm going to tell you right now that you might have seen this video, so I'm going to play the video first and I'm going to give you some information from the people behind it and I'm going to tell you exactly what's going on. Here she is, taking photocopies of every page of my A&D book with all of my customer data on it, with her personal stuff. Alright, so that's the video from Black Metal Firearms. I just got off the phone with the owner, Dave, about what happened here and to tell you that what I know is damning for the ATF. So this all started right around Christmas. in when this I.O.I. decided to show up to conduct the audit. I.O.I.s, they don't have to set appointments. They can just show up that's part of being in an FFL. They can just show up whenever they want and conduct the audit. Now, this I.O.I.'s name is Pamela Scott, and she is caught red-handed taking photos with her personal cell phone from what I'm told by the owner of the, from the FFL. You can see on the, I'll play it again. Here she is taking photocopies of every page of my A&D book with all of my customer data on it, with her personal cell phone. But there's two phones, one she's taking pictures of the bound book. There's another phone on the desk and the phone that's on the desk was the one she was using for ATF business and she took photos of four completed bound books and about a half of a book that they were working their way through as well as an NFA book and I'm told altogether approximately four thousand transactions and she took a picture of every page now I am NOT taking anybody's side here. The I.O.I. is alleging that there were some clerical errors and as a result, she has recommended that their FFL be revocation. So she's looking to take away the livelihood of this family. It's a family-owned business because of a couple clerical errors. Now, I've told you in the videos floating above that we have proof that under the Biden administration where he's going after rogue gun dealers, that revocations are up over 500% on Biden's watch. Now. We've been telling you on this channel for about two years that we've been hearing people who from FFLs telling us that hey these ATF agents these IOIs they're taking pictures of our bound books in fact the owner here from black metal firearms said that prior audits IOIs had taken a picture here or there and they said it was part of they were gonna do their own background investigations and we'll get into that but Now with Gun Owners of America forcing ATF to come forward by doing FOIA requests, now we know the ATF has a ton, a metric ton of 4473s that have been digitized into a searchable database, which is an unlawful gun registry. Video above if you haven't seen that as well. So, I talked to Dave. He's obviously upset that they're looking to revoke his FFL over some clerical errors. It's not for me to put out his business on how maybe some of these errors were made, but I'll tell you what, it's absolute BS that the ATF is looking to do what they're going to do, what they're trying to do. So Dave wants other FFLs to be on the lookout for this type of action by IOIs. He's stressing that this zero tolerance Joe Biden rule is absolutely what they are doing and everything you're hearing about the ATF and how they're going after rogue dealers on basically just trying to reduce the amount of FFLs in the country is legit guys and gals. So right from an FFL who is being targeted for some clerical errors, errors that in the past might have been said, hey, you know, fix this and don't do it again type deal. Now Joe Biden saying, we want to revolt. So, it's real, guys and gals. It's caught on video. This I.O.I. was taking pictures of every single page, allegedly with her own personal cell phone. And here's a question. For the lawyers who watch, for the groups that watch, FPC, Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment Foundation, you name it, guys and gals, I know you're here. And I want you to consider this situation, and maybe you can help this gentleman. If she took these pictures with her personal cell phone, and there's easy ways to prove that, and she conducted this investigation off-site on her own personal cell phone, isn't that a violation of the law? Now, I'm not an FFL. I'm not up to date on all the laws surrounding FFLs, but I would think, I think that's illegal. If you're an FFL, and I know I've got tons of friends who are, and you're probably going to call me as soon as this is out, let me know. Let me know. I just want you all to realize they're out there. They're looking to take your livelihood. They're looking to take your FFL for the littlest of errors. So please take the time. Double check. Triple check. Quadruple check. Because when people like Pamela Scott are on a power trip, they're going to look to take your license too. So that's what I have for you right from the person who put the video out. And let me know what you think down below. ATF. Should be a convenience store Hmm. I want to hear from y'all especially for my FFL friends and the lawyers who know this stuff I want to hear more. Let's let's start this conversation to each other again guys and gals be safe Stay vigilant and carry a gun to keep you your friends your family your community safe and also double-check your work so that you can continue to stay employed because these jackbooted thugs are looking to make sure That you have made an error in the last three years of your books I'll see you in the next one, y'all. Take care. Guys, if you're in your respective state, what is the system that's actually even used by the US postal system to identify states? It's a two-letter system. It's an abbreviation, isn't it? Do you know that if you... And this is totally arbitrary on the part of these bat faggots when they're trying to fiddle-part with things. So there's something I dealt with years ago. I learned about... I grew up in the world of government, quadruple, ensectup, form, paperwork. I was in the intelligence service. Okay? So when I was running one of these FFLs, the first thing I realized is, you know what? I can write real small because I was a draftsman. So I didn't use any abbreviations with any of my bookkeeping. In other words, if it was Michigan, said Michigan. In fact, Michigan, no matter where it was, wasn't MI or M-I-C-H, which was, by the way, that's what I grew up with. First, it was Michigan or M-I-C-H. Then, the official letter system came up with, that was come up with by the Postal Service, became the new standard, okay? So understand that if you have one entry that says, say, V-A, and the other says Virginia, Well, that's a clerical error. What? Well, anybody could figure that out. Yes. Yes, I know. But this is the kind of dickheads you are dealing with with these pieces of excrement. Now, the other thing that I always have done, and I learned this from old, it's just like my personal paperwork, I have a complete copy of my 201 file. across the board, everything top to bottom, including the stuff that's at the off-site locations. It's a big Bible thing because I have a lot of paperwork in my file now, I mean over the years that I served. But I always, and I was taught years ago when I was even on active duty, Nancy knows this too, whatever I had there, I shipped back to Nancy while I was out and about. But in addition to that, as I was taught by an old senior sergeant years ago, he said, Do you have a relative or a friend that most people wouldn't associate with you? Well, yeah. Can you tell them, give them a box, and whenever you copy anything, ship one set of everything over to that location. Just tell them, don't even worry about opening the envelope. Just put it in the box, and we're fine. Well, what if it's a couple or a really big... Just put it in the box. That's all you're supposed to do. And what this does is it creates an off-site file that can't be corrupted or burned or stolen or shredded by the asshats. And that saved me three different times. Where I had another location and I could pull from it when I needed to because it was quite a ways from where my set was, my residence. Okay. Now, the other thing, clerical error. Apps as opposed to lowercase. You gotta be kidding. No, I'm not. I had some B-Witch come in and did a check on the paper of the books that I had. Of course, as I pointed out, I actually did a tri-book system, but I also had an off-site set of books. So when they wanted to do the off, you know, the on-site inspection like this, first of all, you put them where you want them. They don't go where they want to go. Let's understand something about the original lies that were generated. You notice what I just said there. The lies from 1967 leading up to the Gun Control Act of 1968. They were never, never, never, never, never intent upon creating any kind of list whatsoever. And the 4-4-7-3s would be under the custodial ship for the duration of the FFL dealer. in whoever's name it was in and they would never be handed over to the ATF. Now, they did alter this so that in the event that an FFL was retired because of death and or not refiling originally. The documents were supposed to go into holding, not because they were trying to keep a record, yeah, right, yuck, yuck, wink, wink, nod, nod, but because the FFL could be under temporary custodial ship because you might reintroduce, you might want to reactivate it. So you were supposed to put for banking purposes, so to speak, all those 4473 forms, including the extended or addended forms, which were the blue forms, as I've told you about before, which was the multi-purchase form. Now, never, never, never did you have to, and never is it legitimate for you to have to call the cops or the bat faggots if a multiple purchase is taking place. I'd like to see where that's in rule because that is one of those arbitrary bullshit pull it out of your arse things that the batpaggots have done with the weakening of the spines of America. What do I mean by that? Well, it's real simple. This thing that this B-Witch did here, this Pamela Scott, the cross-dressing male slash third sex salamander, whatever the hell it is. that was doing this, you know, Iow I check the Iow I inspection. What's cute about that is the, because he could observe and why you're supposed to put them where you can see them, is because you are the custodian of the FFL, not the bat faggots. And way back in 67, they said, don't worry, we're giving all kinds of authority to the FFL dealer. And if they suspect that the ATF is trying to create a list or whatever, they can halt the activity immediately and demand that the individuals leave the presence or you could have them arrested. Wait a minute, did you hear what I just said, arrested? So when B-Witch Pamela Scott, who was caught on film, was doing this, you called the police. What? Yes, you called the police because you are an officer of, a de facto officer agent of the government by having an FFL. You do understand that, right? And that was the whole argument in 1967 leading up to that. And oh, the FFLs will have control over the documents. The Fed will not be able to abuse them because of course, right. Even then, how could you talk yourself into this stupidity? Number one, we know just, you know just as well as I do. In fact, even as I said this, yeah, but it's the government, and they're gonna do this and that and the other two, et cetera, et cetera. It's like, yeah, well, that's my whole point. Why, how could you believe this BS in the first place that they were going to follow any rules, okay? And fact of the matter is that with obviously what we're seeing here, they're not. They're not supposed to be collecting any of the FFL forms in any structured way whatsoever. They can do a request for particular information. In fact, originally, as I recall, and I'd have to maybe go back through 40, 50 years ago when I was looking at all this stuff firsthand. is you can actually limit to 10 items that the ATF agent is allowed to record off of the FFL, off the 4473 and your logbooks. And even then, you have to identify exactly what they took. In other words, oh no, no, no, no, no, what do you want? Show me what you want. Okay, you're gonna make a copy of this. Hold on, I gotta make another list. I gotta, first of all, we got daytime place, who are you, etc. Now we're gonna identify what you've taken or not taken cuz they can't take it. They can make duplicates of the information if it supposedly was an investigation because of a crime that took place. Okay, supposedly and even there if you suspect that they're not doing that but rather fishing it states Uncategorically in the original documents and all the original original agreements that you were signing That you have the ability to close the activity at any time as the FFL because you have superiority over the ATF in this matter Oh, wow, that doesn't sound anything like the way they're interpreting any of this BS today does it? Well, of course not because the police state did exactly what everybody who was thinking back in 1967 said they would and if you go back through the congressional records and if you go back through the old NRA and all of the other pro gun Publications out there. Yeah, you had some suck ups that were licking bung-ho But you had a whole bunch other people said listen, the only thing that's gonna happen with this is it's gonna be abused In fact, I would remind you and and by the way This B-Witch is using what to record the log books? What is this B-Witch using to record the log books? An electronic device? Yes. Now, if you go back to the Gun Control Act of 1968, I want you to read it. No, the ATF, under no circumstances, was allowed, in fact, oh, as long as the sun shined and the rivers flowed. Now, it sounds like one of those Indian treaties, doesn't it? I believe the wording is not to transfer any 4473 over to any electronic device. Exactly. And what were they worried about in the discussions? Now you've got to think about this. that a data base similar to that used by Germany, and now guys, you don't have to tell me all about the real history of what happened with guns in Germany, what they say and what happened to different worlds. I know that. But understand how people were conditioned. And they said, well, this is like, you know, they could take the FFL and use it to make a list for gun ownership. And like they did in communist Russia, because they mentioned communist Russia first, like we've talked about many times with the mass execution of gun owners who were stupid enough to come in. We need to check your weapons out. Okay. And then they take your guns, take you down into a basement, blow your brains out. Part of the, just like you see in the movie, The Checkest. Okay. But they specifically mentioned the IBM data system, database system used by Germany before and during World War II and that they could create an electronic database of the same type with IBM type systems and of course then we would have communist Russia slash national socialist Germany. Yeah, but no, no, no, because the FFL is going to have so much authority right now. See, here's one of the things. If you've said he was wise enough in fact what he should have done in this day and age I would just plop my ass right down in front of him sitting there right across the table. I have a cup of coffee. I'd be sitting there and just watching everything that the twits doing but the moment that that phone got picked up. I'd be calling the police to have this be which arrest are taken off the premises. But listen, okay, here's the thing about this. They're already lying about the clerical errors. What do you mean by that? Well, guys, I already told you what clerical errors are. You didn't dot the I. What? Well, it says, it says, you know, independence, blah, blah, blah. You didn't dot that I. That's a clerical error. Well, it's an I. Yeah, but you didn't dot it. And if you think I'm, I don't know what I'm talking about, you obviously have never dealt with the back baguettes before. with the bottom feeding excrement, okay? That's why, again, knowing what everybody knows, you might as well sit right there. In fact, you want your video, I have two cameras left and right, not cell phones, regular cameras with another feed somewhere else. And so, yeah, we're gonna sit there and watch everything you do. Well, this is a perfect, well, it sounds like you're gonna violate me no matter what anyway. So let's make sure that I catch you in all the criminal activity you're gonna be involved in so that I can have your job. own your home, take your cars, take your boat. I mean, you have a boat. I hope you have a boat. I'd like one because we're going to take everything from you. So you go ahead and do what you're going to do here right now. Hey, Mark, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure I could make the case that a typographical error is not a clerical error. This is the same crap that they were pulling when Carter was in. And it's the same, by the way, this is not new. This is the same BS I've told you all about guys when George Herbert Walker Bush was president. The same garbage you are seeing right now is what they were pulling then. What's the difference between a neocon and a flaming leftist communist? Nothing. This is what led up to- Waco and eventually the Branch Dividion attack right here. This kind of drivel right here because it was all over the country. If you're seeing one case like this, is this the cockroach mentality again? Well, I only had one cockroach in the whole house. What do you mean? I went into the bathroom, turned the light on, and there was a slow cockroach. So I stepped out of him. He's right there. I killed them all. That's not how it works. You only see one incident. I'm sure that they're not, what are you talking about? Everybody's discussing the subject. That that's exactly what they're doing. They have been coached. And here's the thing. You got to remember, they want to destroy probably half, if not two-thirds of the FFLs. Now, let's not forget, just because older at FFL and they got a gun shot, that doesn't mean they're pro people. There is a whole bunch of gun shop. Of course, they eventually go out of business because they don't have any business that become cop gun shops. And when they become cop gun shops, cops expect a lot of stuff for free or, you know, on the side. And meanwhile, what happens is the cops show up, they start making it their place, and they make it uncomfortable, or they're always doing the old rat eye thing, watching what everybody else is buying and doing. In other words, they're shopping. So what happens is people start to steer clear of that store. Eventually, the cops are the only ones there and they don't buy that much. Why? Well, because they're used to stealing from you people. That's why. They don't need to buy. If they pay attention to all the other customers and they make shopping lists, these little monsters do all kinds of wicked crap, especially when they get a chance to get out there in any way, shape, or form or ask you. Understand that there's a whole method to the madness here. But eventually, that's the only people that are at the bar, so to speak. And the shop starts to wither and then about, oh, in the last day, there's a super sale. Then all of a sudden, a month later, going out of business bargain sale last days. And that's it. Okay. But there's a whole bunch like that out there. They cater to that particular click. Guys, they're the last that will go. But they will go. It's just that for now, they'll get the pad on the head and the squeeze on the arse because they need the rank and file, goose-stepping, black uniform, shoe-sized IQ, roided up, no neck bald, headed P-O-S to go out there and kick the doors in and help the Bat-baggers to rape, kill, pillage, and burn the country. Along with the FBI and the other agencies. Well, they think. So those characters, oh, they will hold their knees because they're easy. They ain't ever doing something wrong. They had to be doing something wrong. Really? Okay, my ass. How can you tell when the feds lying? When their mouth's moving. Especially that panty-wish. You go look at that video. You tell me what that is. That's a he, she, it there is what that is. That's one of these latest hire, kill all the white people, must apologize for existing. We all need to be on our bellies apologizing to the government and to anybody else they want to decide and get down on one knee and again show fealty to the crown, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, that's the kind of turd that served at that station. Here's the thing with that gunshot. Here's the other thing about that though. The demonstrated fact that she was using a private phone brings her into litigation. Well, she wasn't doing it for the Batpagot. She was taking it herself. Oh! Was she acting as a bat-tag it or was she creating a database for some other private mechanism? See one of the things nobody's thinking about here. Guys, you have a whole bunch of Soros type critters who are waging war against the American people and use all kinds of scurrilous turds in government. Don't they use prosecutors? Doesn't Soros have a whole pile of prostitutes that you're all complaining about right now? So why do you not think that good old Pamela Scott isn't working for one of like either Southern Perversion Louse or for the ADL or under the other Turd operations whose job it is to fabricate and or lie? That's the first thing I thought when I heard that she was using a private cell phone for that. First thing I thought. You're talking about a clandestine operation in which you have because see this is where you have a KGB slash well checkers These are checkers. This is the early stage. These are the checkers types I've told you about this Pamela Scott grass is on the list But you know what everybody should be finding out who what where when with that POS? What's the background on that piece of trash? Not the only piece of trash you got. In a good old Pamela Scott's using private database collection to transfer private information of other people that has been fabricated at the behest and demand of the government. In other words, using the government tool to supply intelligence data to the clandestine arm of the Mossad, bat faggots who come in the back door, FBI wanted to fabricate or create conditions. Guess what? There's a there's one of the there is an excellent point of reference start point right there with good old Pamela Scott her ass shows up anywhere else Everybody should be notified and everybody needs to know where that turn goes From the point that where they leave that gunshot that thing where everywhere that thing goes should be known And don't forget, it was all electronically collected so it can also be electronically transferred over to a private spying mechanism like Homeland Succu-Ridey. Remember, Homeland Security is not American. Homeland Security is registered in New Jersey. It is not registered in Washington, D.C. It, like many other non-government entities and NGOs, is registered in one of the lesser member states of the Union. In this case, New Jersey. Why is Homeland Succurity registered in New Jersey? Tell me, how does that work? Well, there's a reason. It is a foreign agent of a foreign power operating on American soil as a registered foreign agent operative. Now remember we have the fusion centers which they've already stated there is no accountability to the Congress with regard to the communist fusion centers. So if you have the Batfaggots cooperating with Homeland Succureity and you've got the fusion centers which are illegitimate intelligence collection operations, where do you think Pamela Scott is sending that electronic data? Do you think they're sending it to the Batfaggots? Why? Why wouldn't it be going to the Batbagots? She has a Batfaggot phone for that, right? Didn't they think they already said there's a phone for ATF business that she had right there. So why was she using the private phone? Well, do you remember when we explained you about clandestine operations when you have a police department? Like when they were chasing me. They had a regular service frequency and the state police have theirs and the you know, each department has their own and then you have the command frequency which isolates individuals who are key so that they are not interrupted and cannot be interrupted during their conversations and making decisions. So why when you have where you're on the command frequency and somebody in the command structure asks a question you very quickly blur it out go to cell phone. Well, why would you need to go to cell phone? Because if the question's asked, and it's obviously about the activity, it should be above board. So why are you going to cell phone? Well, because the private clandestine element doesn't want any record of the actual purpose and reason for the activity. So we got a Pamela Scott here, who appears to be a foreign operative, and of course is anyway because he's a bat faggot. In theory is a bat faggot. I'd have to see the ID and even then I wouldn't trust it. In fact, who says her name is Pamela Scott? Maybe it's, you know, Blattson, Steen Rosen, something. I didn't look that closely at the schnoz to see what the background of the thing was anyway. So again, guys, Why would you use the private cell phone because the information isn't going to the Batfaggots? It's going to somebody else who's planning on playing red terror against America and is going to use a list of gun owners that they can get as part of their jump off for the big red terror attack on American population. Go to the sporting goods shops. Find form 4473. This will tell you the names of the owners and the types of guns they possess. Go now. Again, that, well, if everybody, see, everybody thinks tiny, or in, of course, everybody, this apologizing crap is getting old. For your enemy. Your enemy's activities are scurrilous and vast. There's so many crimes. that these wicked bastards have performed that they're numerous beyond your probable comprehension. And the nature of some of the wicked stuff they do behind the scenes being the pedo-queers that they are, even worse, okay? And the rank and file wouldn't get like this turd here and get didn't get that job because they were believing in the United States. The only way you're going to get hired in the back bag is if you're against the country, you believe in the globalist agenda etc. You won't be hired. That's just how it's working. So this turd right here is one of your sworn enemies. Need to see how much more video but I would say again see one of the other reasons I would sit in front of a twit like this is because well what the hell with way they're acting already and what I've already heard and the way that the the scurrilous arrogant B which is acting ain't got nothing to lose in everything to gain but nothing to lose because obviously through clerical errors what what clerical errors. You know, I was a bookkeeper. Boy, I'm Mark, you should hear it. Yeah, I took every stinkin' bookkeeping class, and I actually did taxes for people and all kinds of other fun stuff years ago, and I could do a pretty good job of it, but I hate it. I used to not, but dealing with people who would tell me how bad their life was when they're making $350,000 or $250,000 a year and we're making mine with a whole lot less is something you just get tired of hearing about. Why is this so hard? I can make it with $235,000 a year. I don't know how I can make it. How about get your act together? Okay. So anyway, the fact is... that within bookkeeping guidelines, if you were a bookkeeper, there are very few things that you can make mistakes on. But you don't make mistakes, obviously, on the math that crunches to the end formula. Now, whether or not you do cross all the T's or dot all the I's, and I'm not talking about rhetorically, I'm talking about physically. Those are things that can be corrected or can be understood, it may be a style thing for you or a glitch. People are like that. Everybody who works in any kind of technical field has a glitch. It's something that's talked about in the industry or business over and over again. It's kind of like Morse code, how you can tell somebody who's running a key. The way that people run their book and operate their book, there will be a glitch. There will be a glitch. It's expected. In fact, there is no such thing as perfection with man. So when you have these ass hats like this turd coming in and doing what they're doing, they've been coached to lie their ass off. Your logic would be, wait a minute, that's ridiculous. All that is is a matter of either punctuation, upper or lower case. I mean, I know that says MI or Michigan. Now what I used to do oh you hate well, no, they didn't they didn't know what to do with me guys I print really small if it said Michigan and Arbor Michigan I would fit that if you ever see a four four seven three form I would fit that into every cube and every rectangle where it was required and trust me I can I can do a wide wide number of fonts and Styles as a draftsman, okay So I had no problem fitting all that into that little space and if you couldn't read it, break out the magnifying glass. Because I can read it, my glasses aren't thi- I don't need glasses to read. Good, caller, chimp in there. Did this creature show up by itself? Or was it... Well, typically they come on, no, this kind of inspection, they usually come in by themselves. That doesn't mean that that's always the case. Oh, I know. I don't know what happened. She left here. She was smiling on it. I have no idea what happened to her. She left with some guy and they were swapping a lot of spit in the car when they left. I don't know where they went. You know what I mean? I think that she was cleaning. Well, it's okay. Here's the thing that they're not really well again, if it happens then it'd be all kinds of noise, but then again, maybe there won't if you keep pressing with this combination of things that have happened in this day and age and it's happened before but again, it's like like when the cops go out and a whole bunch of cops go out to attack somebody and a whole bunch of them get killed. You'll notice there's not a whole lot of reference to that ever ever. Okay. In fact, we had let me point something out. Okay, here's one. Remember we had, what was it, Houston? We had the running gunman that was shooting cops. Does anybody remember that? It's only a few years ago, right? Remember? And they were trying to say, what kind of style of training did he have? And was he a paintballer or was he a train shooter or whatever? Because the guy was just rolling up, rolling around in circles on these cops. Remember he was running around between the pillars, going progressively down through this downtown area. And he shot a whole bunch of them dead, okay? Well, there's no reference to that. If you notice that, they don't want anybody to think about what the enemy's attrition rate has been. Well, Mark, you just called the police and the enemy. Are they following the rules and orders of the minion? Are they minions, I should say, of the ring knockers? Hell, yes, they are. Have they been following any order the commies give them? Yep, yes, they have. So they're exactly our friends right now. or have really been for any period of time recently that anybody can recall. It's interesting though that, as you just pointed out, these characters show up. Somebody is going to, especially if they do that, well, I'm going to violate you. Well, I'm going to buy it. What was that? Oh, I'm sorry. I just had enough of the twit and I just had to do it. What Bob would you do at the three 57 here? I kept fiddling with the four or five shells. She he she had came out and all smug and spurk and I just had to take her off at the neck I Couldn't spatcher Yeah Yeah, I'm ruined anyway. My you know, my house is on edge your family is you know is all tensed up I think I might even have cancer. See, that's the problem. These idiots don't realize the perfect storm that they have created. That means like you were just thinking you like, well, that that twit could just be dead right there. But they'll send out more. Everybody will be waiting. Well, I hope they do. What? Yeah, Bob, they're gonna send out more. Yeah, hold on. I'm gonna make a call. There's a bunch of people been open for this. Beep beep beep beep. Just punch in 41 Call code and let's see what what's our location. Oh, yeah, we're at the store 10 10 more tyrants. They were delicious Yeah exactly See, that's the part that it's like this whole yap about guys there They're flapping their yap about a gun a gun ban. Okay, confiscation Etc. And it's like go ahead do it. Go ahead do it It's time for us to shoot their ass. It's time for us to get rid of them. If they want to push this, this will be it right here because everybody's done. Everybody has already agreed, you know, we're not giving any more ground. Okay, well fine. So are you going to give up your weapons? Because that's exactly how they're flapping the app. They somehow seem to think that everybody is just going to go along like the January 6th crap. Those people on January 6th... Should have known better than to think that the damn thing was a football tailgate party, okay? Oh well, that's not us. We don't riot, we're not protesting, and I know far, far, far, far too many people with a lot more experience as military personnel who have already sharpened their blades, loaded their magazines, and if this garbage starts like this, that's as good an excuse as any to start cleaning this house out. starting with all the behind the curtain asshats first. You do understand that, right? That is the priority. Well, they're going to be wasting time with all of the cannon fodder. No, we're not. Everybody has already got their list of things to do because there's too many people that are in the know. That's the part that, you know, and it could start with an idiot like this. I like your paperwork and you have seven clerical errors. Like right here, where I should say, like, like, it should say Michigan, and you put MI. That's the Federal Postal Service's abbreviation for Michigan. That doesn't make any difference. You're supposed to spell it out here. And by the way, this is not capital here. There's another one not capital here, like page 416. I went through all of your books, and way back here, three years ago, there's four books that she copied. Did you hear what he said in the video? Okay, bye. Hello, bought it. Wait a minute, I'm carrying the one I carried in Vietnam. Or I'm carrying the Beretta I carried brought back from Desert Dust. And I got some panty waste communist twit with little Trotsky glasses here telling me they're gonna ruin my life. Well, boom, it should happen. And think of all the, I guess, well, you know what, I was gonna keep the business going, but I got terminal cancer and I feel really bad. I've had a bad day too and so you're all hairballed and I got I can see in your eyes you think you're just gonna mess with me I'm not even gonna shoot you it's gonna take an hour for you to die and no one's gonna hear you cuz I put you in the back room here but whatever gonna happen oh well and then by the way you want to call for some help why don't you call and tell one of your buddies to show up what yeah why don't you go tell your buddies they need to come come come to the gun shop here Yeah, you do that first. I'll let you use your phone for a minute. Well, what do you mean that you use my phone? Well, for a minute. Do you know how that works? Imagine, I mean, would it? Well, I know what's there. They're idiots. I mean, I know they are, but that's good. They're the peons that the Soros types and the, you know, giggling types and the Rothschild that all think, you know, they can use and they can. These are the useful idiots slash fools stupid enough to perform these kinds of actions. and then they can't figure out why they die themselves. They will never sink into their small brain about the idea that men will get tired of tyrants and will dispose of them. And by the way, well, that's a female who gives a squat. There's this equal opportunity dying time now. And there's nothing. And it doesn't see itself as a female anyway. Right. It's just a government blob, bureaucrat blob. So who cares? Fact of the matter is, like I said, number one, all the other arguments, anything else, it's not speculation, it's just a win. And if it gets coverage, they may desperately try to not cover it because they understand cascading pebbles. Okay, how does a rock slide start? That first pebble ticks the other pebble, which moves a bunch of other little pebbles. Tiny lunch, sleidy bevel-y thingies, as a matter of fact. Then the pea gravel starts to move, and then the larger pieces of material start to move, gravity sucks, and all it takes is just a little bit of energy, gravity takes over. By the time you're done, you've got a mountain coming down on your head. And that's where everybody is with these BS-ers, especially with all the pedo crap. all the rest of the dribble about how we don't know we're talking about the border's wide open. Everybody's finished with the regime. And it doesn't make any difference what name they put up there. Everybody's finished with the regime, banned the bureaucracy. So anyway, I wanted to play that one only because understand from an FFL perspective, you're supposed to stop that B-Witch right there. The kid didn't know what to do. He probably hasn't never read the gun control act of 1968. What do you want to bet? Most of these guys that get an FFL figure it's like getting any like a mechanics license or anything else. And yeah, you're dealing with the federal agencies, but it's like anything else. You've got a certain amount of paperwork, obviously, you're buried in that, and that's the conduit with the regime. And of course, the instant check garbage, and you have to pay all your fees and fines and whatever. Well, fees, might as well call them fines. But then all of a sudden they find out that you all thought there were rules and there aren't any with regard to these turds. Lying is their nature, not a unique situation. Lying is virtually what they're built upon across the board. In fact, they'll get together right even outside the courtroom. They'll stand out right in front of the public and alter their stories and coach each other to alter their stories right in front of witnesses. over and over and over. Whole groups of people have their epiphany that way, but then they're like, well, the court must know, but of course the court knows. And the court is more than happy that their other officers of the court are engineering their business so that the lie fits the attack. It's what they do, okay? So anyway, we just wanted to bring up on that one guns and gadgets where you can watch the video. There are others though, by the way, so you might want to spot check that. Again, the company is Black Metal Firearms and they were taking pictures. I think actually the video is also longer too. If you want to watch the original and it'll give you a pretty good feel for what we're talking about. Okay. So now by the way, in fact, everybody, we're at the top. But by the way, yes, if there are technical errors like this, clerical errors, you know that the way the system is set up is that they're supposed to let them know that these mistakes have been made and that they can then correct them because it's the purpose of the Batfaggot. It's supposed to be the Batfaggot's job to cooperate with the FFL to work as a field accountant. Not as an aggressor, but everybody knew every liar that put the gun control act to 68 together every one of those stinking figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat And speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the length free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame 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 see 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 keep the torture freedom burning bright As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came His words were true We are not free But we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trampled 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. Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the... ...in hour of the afternoon... ...Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories... ...southwest... ...northeast... ...east and troll. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we're on the satellite. Wanna say hi to all our merchant marine and the Maru crew, a cruise, many of them, and of course on all of the oceans of the planet. At one point or another, constantly traveling, of course. and a myriad of communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is the 27th of July. It is the well, it's weapons Wednesday. It's 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face. Baby in the socialist and the Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar 2022 battle for the Republic. The dance of swords. Let the dance Continue and of course again that particular video with regard to the Bat faggot Pamela Scott Operating at black metal firearms and Illegitimately recording all of the log books of the company with a private phone especially You can go over to guns and gadgets. You'll find the video there. Please take the time plug it in Also share it everywhere that you can I don't know, I want to comment with places, you know, in stories like that. And usually I do say something, but it's like you almost like to talk into a wall. It's funnier hell. You get tired. You know what most people say. And it's true. This is what they count on. Well, it's the bad figures. And I don't want to piss them off. They're going to take your FFL and close your business. How are you going to piss them off? You might as well act. You might as well, again, like I said, you arrest the individual, you identify the individual, but first become cognizant of the original intent and operation of the FFL under the Gun Control Act of 1968. In fact, one of the things you're going to want to do to demonstrate especially that it was explicitly spelled out as far as the intent and purpose behind the FFL dealer and their authority. That was one of the things they kept coming up with, the authority of the FFL dealer. And that's gonna be what keeps it in check, really. So what's the first thing they do? They threaten the FFL dealer, which is of course what everybody's gonna say. Well, they threaten the FFL dealer. Well, when the back baguettes were under the control of George Herbert Walker Bush, His goal, and in fact he came pretty stinking close to it, was to destroy and burn down half of the FFL dealers in the United States. What year was that? What was it? 1987, 1988, 1989. What year is it now? Now of course, well yeah, but you know, we've got to remember that his plan, he was going to be the one to implement the Gun Control Act in the 90s. It was George Herbert Walker Bush's administration that planned Waco when they didn't shift him into a second term because he had already been a puppet master against the president when Reagan was in. When Bush was running the Reagan administration, and then got four more years of his own, they switched and went left to Bill Clinton. And all Bill Clinton did was sign off on all of the operations that were already in motion by George Herbert Walker Bush. The ATF were planning for a whole year for the Branch Dividion attack. When did it take place? Okay, go back 365 days. Who was in charge 365 days earlier? And- That's right, and they practiced at Fort Hood, Texas. They built a mock-up of the Branch Davidian home and practiced there for a year. And they still screwed up. Does everybody understand that? In fact, one of the things that I've wondered about, remember that during the siege they made a Waco movie. Does anybody remember that? For damage control, they made a Waco movie. Where do you think they got the set for that they used for the simulation of the attack on the branch Davidians? Ever thought about that? You know, I wondered because again, this area, the environment looked very, very Texas. Well, of course it would be since the feds allowed the movie company to use the tactical set the tactical training site that the feds and the military had put together in preparation for the attack on the Branch Davidians. Of course they had a complete, you know, set to work with. It's the one that the feds had been using to practice for their first day attack and murder of the Branch Davidians, which didn't work out the way they planned. So again, this The attack was on FFLs, manufacturers, and needless to say, personal firearms owners. And on all fronts, George Herbert Walker Bush, constantly, week after week, month after month, year after year, approved and in fact was directly involved in the planning of the ATF's attack on American gun owners. Not kind of, not sort of. And that can be demonstrated by our archival information that was pulled progressively. And by the way, again, Neil Knox did a phenomenal job of going right to congressional record and executive record on that. Neil Knox is the president of the before we had lippy air where he is. Neil Knox, a regular gun owner and a regular man was actually in that seat. and did not wear Armani suits. He was a regular firearms owner and he was a manufacturer. And he had a hardcore, no compromise attitude with regard to the Batfaggots and what they were pulling. And that's, he got elected because the membership also was going on. That's why- That's when George Herbert Walker Bush, you know, that neocon piece of crap, handed in his honorary NRA membership because he wasn't going to be with that radical who was not compromising with the government on complicating the guns. Don't remember this. Well, the Republicans will save us. Really? Really? So in fact, don't think it's cool about that. Mengekin, the one that was the trainer that did the red flag stuff, I will mention that again. Guys, you do know that he, of course, announced that he's got the Corona beer virus now, too. And of course, he got all the shots. He's one of those other pieces of trash slash hidden rhino, hidden commies that now the figure sees leaving. He doesn't care. He's pissing on you all. Now he can piss on America and show you what kind of a real real hardcore globalist ring knocking spit-swapping Yomikal where he is So again, not a surprise. It's what we told you so that's why he's one of several that everybody who knew is going on I You get it. Yeah, it's just you can feel them. Don't we describe it. You can feel them. So anyway Good color jumping there update on yesterday's announcement about the results of the election coming in early. Fox 17 in western part of Michigan did the same thing. Numbers were a little bit different though. Apparently these numbers are being generated by the AP and given to these stations for their supposed test. And of course the Secretary of State for the beloved pure Michigan. has issued a fat check on this. Oh no, some sites that propose conspiracy theories are saying that this is deliberately being done and that there's something amiss. It's not because we said so. Yep. Well, that means there is for that thing as queer as the $3 bill. You mean the purple princess? That's the other member. When you hear from that twit, call that one the purple princess. The whole little faggoty crew that that thing was riding with when they were on inauguration slash victory night was not inauguration night. They were all wearing purple. All the little lesbian pack was wearing purple if you didn't notice that. But yeah, the little purple princess. And I mean purple purple. Really? Okay. And it was like, wow, the Twilight Zone crew is so happy they got to where they are. Anyway, again, Fox 17 channel. So if he that's Fox 17 channel 17 West Michigan, I'm gonna have to let my well, that might be as a matter of fact, that might be Grand Rapids. Fox 17 on 17 or if not, it could be farther up the state because there's one that is a combination. It's like 1718 or 1721 or something like that. Where's to rip it actually is rebroadcast because there's Two different transmitters that are owned by the same group. Basically, it would normally be a bigger transmitter broadcasting from one location, but instead they have a double leg, so they co-broadcast on the two frequencies on the two channels. Thank you. I did a search and Grand Rapids came right up, so. Thank you. Well, again, that would be the most likely. Again... The idea that they are preprinting the numbers the way that they are, this is precursor, visions of things to come for the next fake election 26 weeks, 26 months from now. Just think about it. Everybody's yapping about how there's no way that blah, blah, blah would win. And well, of course, immediately it'll be that, you know, there's some confusion. We'll have difficulty counting Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois as they did before. Is that what we're going to see? Yeah, that's what we're going to see. Only if they go as pro-conservative, that's when they have difficulty. Right. Well, you know what? Let's back up on that one too, because everybody, you know, they will. Hillary won the first, no, she didn't. What happened, guys? With the first Hillary Trump runoff election, okay, the first time they faced off that that that face off took place There is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump won the common vote and the electoral college The difference is they kicked in the same scams and the same fiction with the voting machines with Hillary and Trump But they did later with the pedestal for meat puppet and Trump, but the difference is they did it too late And they miscalculated the volume that they needed, and that's why that fumbled up. But everything was identical. If you watch all of the propaganda from the Hillary election and the Biden election, if you look at all the maps and all the BS, it's identical, except that they kick it off. The only difference that they had four years later is, hell, they had people voting 10, 15, 20, 30 days before the election. So you have, in reality, about a 38 window of election of votes, fake votes being accumulated that exceed the number of people who could vote. But in addition to that, the voting machines were rigged exactly the way that they were before, only they did it sooner. They were arrogant about it. They didn't care how they lied about it, because no matter what, they were going to get it, make it happen. They were going to get it through, and they did. Well, they did, but they shouldn't have, because the Republicans should have stepped up to the plate. But their spineless occurs and they're showing you that they're nothing but just fellow travelers Helping the socialists along towards their agenda That's simple and in the process Well, let's just start with the border work your way on down the list and the border being the most critical issue right now In terms of what needs to be locked down immediately So, anyway, enough on that. Couple of things here real quick. Yesterday I was talking about something with regard to armor and some people, okay, I'm gonna spell this out again. A lot of people have invested some really good money into some really good armor, okay? It's one thing to have it sitting in the closet or to on occasion put it on when you feel like it and then decide after you put it on it's a really good idea to hang it back up. It's another thing that you go to war and you load all this stuff up and you hit the truck and you're down the road and then you have to start working in it. Okay? So here's the difference between the plate armor for a narrow application and the wraparound full body utility armor, which is more useful in general, but also much more wearer friendly. Okay? Number one is the weight restriction. When you add what is, it's not useless, it's not dead, it's dead weight, it is dead weight. It doesn't do anything, but protect your high net. Plate armor and all the other heavy stuff like that is good for very narrow and specific actions, but for a non-stop operation, it is a burden, okay? And what I said yesterday, I'll repeat again, what'll happen is, as we develop the battlefield, fewer and fewer people will be carrying plate armor for most all of what they're doing because it's less valuable in terms of constant threat from all directions and all types. So the other issue is it's heavy. Okay, so there are certain people that it would be more useful as I pointed out the point man the number two man, maybe even the number three man and Whoever gets assigned those tasks would be trading out that armor that in other words You don't have so many plate carriers with you that would be would be used and be used and they would be traded out as needed depending on who the point man is and who the number two and three men are in many cases Hold on, in many cases there would only be probably two sets of plate armor and that would be for the point man and for number two. Number three might not even want it. It sounds weird but guys, granted, oh you're going to work up muscles and develop more physical prowess as you work with the equipment but you're also going to start shaving weight. And weight is going to be prioritized for ammunition, magazines, water, medical supplies, and not necessarily the last two in that order. Some people really blow prioritized water. And I argue against that. I'm from the Australian school. And as far as I'm concerned, ammunition, magazines, pyrotechnics, water, and medical are all parallel. That's what you do have to carry no matter what. OK, go ahead, call your ship in there. Yeah. Just something I have done. I have walked in my flight jacket my my armor because it's heavy and I had a one of those Air hydration things the backs you put on your back had a couple of five-pound sacks of sugar I put in a Light backpack to go with it. I walk with it because I figure if I'm going to be wearing it in time of need, maybe I'd better get used to it. So that's what I have done in the past. Exactly. Well, the thing is, as I said, there's a lot of undercover armor that's most everything is level three. Used to be level two was the middle armor spec. But most everything out there, even the stuff that's used is now mostly level three. They're still level two. But it's the undercover armor that offers shoulder protection and around the gut For a lot of what you're gonna run into guys remember. It's not gonna be a nice neat straightforward frontal back attack thing grenades especially an anti-personnel devices of whatever kind which are not necessarily Super bombs in fact many of them are not supposed to be they're supposed to be wounding devices They're not necessarily going to kill somebody okay Wounding is good, ties up more people. That's the logic behind it. Have you ever seen what the new Dutch grenade looks like? One of the new Dutch pattern offensive grenades? In reality, it would almost be a def... No, correction. It's supposed to be a defensive grenade, but its burst radius is quite a bit smaller, putting it more into the offensive grenade category. It's the size of a little more than a tennis ball. Not much. It's much smaller than the standard what you would call the baseball, you know hand grenade The Dutch can carry a lot more of them. It is not just a shock but a fragmentation grenade Many of the offensive grenades are he only with minimal shrapnel or minimal fragmentation Both the Czech models from the post Cold War period and these new Dutch newer Dutch grenades are quite small Okay So you're not going to see the kind of massive fragmentation burst radius that you see with a defensive American grenade. Now because of that, any time, let's say you take cover. Well, if you take cover, you got a plate carrier, you've got your front and your back covered, but as far as whatever other part of your body sticking out or pointed towards the fragmentation, it's taking a hit. Whereas on the other hand, what they used to call them, frag vests. Now that's not really all that they are and most of the newer ones actually are, again, typically at least threat level three. These wraparound vests offer a lot more protection from conventional small arms, but more importantly, all that other stuff that gets thrown at you, that 40 millimeter, boom, going down range. or the mortar round, which can be quite devastating in and of itself, but horrible. Horrific is the term. But a lot of the small stuff that's gonna be thrown at you, that body armor is priceless. So again, the wraparound armor is gonna be out there and be very common. I would still have the plates even just to carry over top as needed. I'll accept that weight. However, I'm not getting any younger. So if there's a choice between plate armor and wrap around soft armor, I'd go to wrap around. That's me. Okay, everybody's got a personal flavor choice thing on this because it's more useful in general by percentages. The other thing here too is it doesn't mean you're gonna chuck all the other armor everybody's got. It's just that it's gonna be held in reserve. Now, when you cash material or equipment, if you're working as heavy infantry, which is what we've talked about, You're going to cache auxiliary equipment or your backpacks, other gear, and if you feel that you can dismount the heavy plate, you're going to drop the heavy plate and leave it for mobility's purpose. The ability to move faster will be less than the target, okay? So that's another reason I brought that up. And again, just to help you understand, it's not that nobody's going to ban the use of armor. Nobody, not on our side. You want to carry it? Congratulations. You want to wear two vests, wear three vests. Personal flavor choice, but you got to be able to perform when you do it. And you're going to figure out whether or not you can do that real quick. We're at the bottom of the hour and it is Weapons Wednesday. At our bottom of the hour, Weapons Wednesday break is very traditional here. at Liberty Tree Radio on Wednesday and it's weapons Wednesday. So I would have figured that Ed is probably, even as we speak, hitting the switch for the bottom of the hour break on weapons Wednesday. I think I hinted that enough. And you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and libertytreeradio.org. Next on the list of things to do. In addition to what we mentioned before, classic firearms with regard to the idea of beefing up your ability to return fire without thinking about reloading right away. Over at CenterFireSystems.com CenterFireSystems.com CenterFireSystems.com They have an email special, I believe it started yesterday, and it has to do with drums for pistols, rifles, etc. You might want to check to see what they have. It's a wider selection you probably imagine. My attitude on this is at the very least every weapon that you have that can take a drum should have one. No matter what it is, if you can get it for a handgun or for a light rifle of whatever type, you should have a drum for each one because for traveling, that's where we typically use it, or in a defensive posture. Having a volume fire weapon with massive, suppressive fire power is a useful tool. In traveling, it's because if you are typically in what is either a prepared or a hasty ambush, it's one of the few times where you hit select fire or you just go to town with a quick trigger finger and you hose down the aggressor. You suppress by volume fire. So when we're in traveling mode, the drums and large stick magazines for the pistols, whatever we have, are all in the weapons, ready to roll. And I recommend ball ammunition no matter what. Don't worry about hollow points, soft point, or any specialized rounds. If you're using a drum, you should be using a ball round for efficiency and performance. Just remember that. Anyway, we are at the bottom of the hour. And our traditional bottom of the hour weapons Wednesday break should be popping up here in a minute. We'll see what happens. And I know it's a hey. Okay. Meanwhile, meanwhile, another thing that had some emails on another question, a couple of spikes on from the alternate side is where can we find helmets again? Yeah, helmets are kind of thin right now. Have you noticed? A lot of the surplus stuff in armor and helmets, it was around a year and two years ago, especially at the height of the coronavirus garbage, they're gone. Part of that is that a lot of that stuff is being picked up and scarfed up and paid top dollar for over here and sent back overseas. The other half of that has to do with the idea. that again people here are preparing more, they know what they want, they already have a good idea because they've looked at some of the different imaging and videos out there about the performance of the different helmets and certain types have just virtually been consumed. That's all there is to it. We're talking the surplus. In new factory, new manufacturer, take your pictures. There's a dozen different manufacturers to choose from, including the Chinese. And all of them, there are evaluative studies done as YouTube videos, you can check them out, or you know, bitch shoot videos, you can go check them out. And it'll give you an idea of how, or what performance they expect, or you should expect from those particular designs. A number of other pieces of equipment that are out there, including ballistic elbow armor, and knee armor, not just conventional pad, but also ballistic. Would that be my first choice? Well, if you got the money for that you're not talking cheap, but if you do have the money for it, yeah, it's worthwhile Anytime you can you're gonna be carrying probably that burden anyway example, you're gonna be using knee pads am I going to yeah Am I gonna be using elbow pads? Oh, hell yeah. Why I am not what I'm not I'm 64 years old. It ain't the age. It's the mileage. Okay So I know full well that I can't afford to get hurt if I can avoid it and especially impacts, bumps and bruises are going to take longer to heal with me. So I have to prevent that. But if you're younger, understand too that we're going to be helping out in the long haul, which is why I recommend you wear elbow pads. You know, there's even shin armor out there. For that matter, conventional, athletic shin armor is also just as serviceable, and there's all kinds of equipment that's used out there. It would not be a bad idea. That's one of the weakest points in the front of your body that needs to be protected. The Roma used green to protect their shins. Sounds like a good idea to me. Yeah, and again, the reason is that what's well, what's there with your shin? Skin? Bone. The bone is, you know, your body is developed, you know, God's gift is developed based upon best use, okay? But that particular part of your body, there's no muscle mass or anything to protect that area from a cleaving strike or an impact with something that's aggressively damaged. Think about the stuff on the battlefield. Remember, we've talked about clothing. The closer you are to the ground, the more expensive the item is. Why? Well, because it's also the most perishable. Boots take a beating, okay? Pants take a beating. Down at the ground level, stuff that's been folded, shredded, spindled, and mutilated, that's where gravity takes it. So, stuff gets beat up. Well, guess what? Your shins are the first thing to find out about that, along with your knees. So it doesn't hurt. And if you look, there's a bunch of these different samurai armor suits that are made for riot control that do have a pretty decent lower shin and knee combination. Is it your first choice for everybody? No, probably not. But I would point out, no matter young or old, you're only going to take so much abuse. And if you're younger, remember, I'm going to tell you again, every hurt you had that you bounced back from when you were 20, You're going to know about when you're 50 and 60 and 70. You're going to feel it. It's all coming back to you. Yeah, the old friends come by to visit. Yeah. So you better be again, let's, let's prevent number one, both with young and old injury. And that's where helmets are a good thing. Even if it's just a bump helmet, you know, there's, if you worry about looking cool, there are some really cool looking bike bump helmets out there. I mean, you can go to a used sports store and find everything you need, and the stuff actually looks pretty decent if you're worried about looks, okay? I will remind you that originally the special warfare groups out there that everybody used to, you know, Delta Force, what they used to call themselves, what their name was, but hockey helmets are what they used. Their standard everybody knows that's a weird helmet working out. It's a hot they were wearing hockey helmets Why well, that's a sport where everybody gets an oak stick and they can beat the hell out of her ash They can beat the hell out of each other and the hockey puck itself can put a hole in your head real fine So guess what the helmet was designed to offer a reasonable amount of protection but still afford hearing Availability so people could communicate with each other what you need to do with hockey with sports just like you do with the military operation. Okay. I don't care what you pick, but pick something, enter it on it, and then you're responsible for your unit to make sure that the standard is met. You know, that's another thing we've been talking about. There's been a lot of recruiting. I've got a whole bunch of people that want to do a whole bunch of the next wave of Patriot organizational meetings and militia meetings. Okay. And I will remind you that if I were in that kind of a meeting, yes, I would be setting the standard. But I'm not going to do that. In other words, I'm not going to micromanage the whole of the country because everybody has their own ideas and guess what? They're good. How to do things. Let's find out what works. You know, I will find out what works when we go to war. There'll be a real quick correction curve, won't there? Oh, that didn't work as well as we thought it did. We should probably have gone this way. Well, you may not be able to replace right away, but you realize you need to change your modus of operation because, you know, modus operandi, because something didn't quite jive the way you planned. Okay, well, that happens. That's what OGT, on the job training's all about. But whatever you do, follow through on it. And again, knee armor, body armor, if you want to do shin armor, that is a good idea. There's a bunch, like I said, of sports items. By the way, here's something most of you don't probably realize. A lot of sports armor is Kevlar. I hope you understand that. In fact, if you can find a place that has an access to a higher end, like professional sports equipment that's being dumped by maybe one of the more affluent teams. The upper shoulder armor and all of that. Okay, I want you to go tonight. You want to have some fun. This is an odd, weird thing to go look at. Go look at upper shoulder pad football armor and take a look at the materials that are available and then take a look at how much of an astrayated Kevlar. Now, no matter what, That would offer more protection. No, it might not stop a rifle and whoever said it did. But you know what? All of the shin armor, the groin armor, all of the shoulder pad and all of the other auxiliary and ancillary armor is made by the same company to the same spec. So amazingly enough, you can find shin pads that are made out of Kevlar. Didn't know that. Well, it's not one of those things they talk a lot about. Now there's two forms. One is a striated reinforced and high pressure Kevlar, which is made. The other is simply cast Kevlar. Now does it work or does it does it do anything for ballistic defense? Yes, it does. We've already tested that. But if you're expecting it to stop high powered rifle, no, probably not. But between that and the other armor you're wearing, yeah, probably will. So do a little research, you'd be amazed. Once you know what companies to look for, then you know what to start cherry picking and shopping for, depending on what sources you can find. Secondhand Sports is a bunch of other companies like that out there. That's where you want to go and look to see what they got hold of. Remember, like around Ann Arbor, Michigan, more money than brains. They spend god-awful amounts. The latest thing I've been getting in this area... That category is diving gear. I can put an entire couple of squads in the water with everything they need. Diving, you know, with in terms of diving gear. The only thing I don't have enough of are air tanks, but hell, I even got one of those the other day. Virtually brand new. In fact, still with air charged and it's like, oh, this is kind of cool. But it's a matrix thing. Right now it's been scuba gear and we're in the middle of summer when scuba gear, you would think everybody would be kind of hanging out to it. But I've been getting it for free. I've been finding it. In fact, I got two complete kits for free with everything from, you know, log books, masks, snorkels, flippers, suits, even dive suits and dive shorts, all in the package ready to go. And the only thing is I've gotten pieces here, pieces there, and just got a brand new set of goggles. that, you know, diving mask that still has the price tag is low end $60. Not the most expensive, not cheap either. And $60 by, you know, several years back. So I'm sure it's more expensive now. So there's a lot of stuff like that out there in the sports category. It's the same way. And yes, I'm somebody probably asking, what do you mean they make Kevlar like say, helmets? Yes, yes they do as a matter of fact and I'm surprised how many actually have integrated Kevlar into the bicycle helmet category So if you pay attention look around in fact you might decide maybe that'd be the way to go just to get Something that's a bump helmet but with a little better protection, which is fine. So something to think about there another thing real quick is again I mentioned this, by the way, at the Distress stores right now, two or three different, not several, two or three different stores that I know of, there has been a quantity of veil camouflage coming in. Now, veil's a pretty good camo. I actually like it. We're an out for the price tag. But, amazingly enough, the price tag isn't extreme, and they have veil camouflage armored gloves. for under or about $7 a pair at several of the different Distress Stores. You might want to go look to see what's in your area. For whatever reason, I don't know why, because the veil camo is actually quite marketable. But interestingly enough, at these Distress Stores, this means the stuff went out into the market and didn't move. So it's being sold laterally. It's going sideways to these other stores. And amazingly enough, all of the accoutrements are pennies on the dollar right now. Face masks, balaclava, armored gloves, all the other stuff that you'd like to collect in a decent camouflage at that. Right now it's coming out in bale. Won't last, it's a surplus, so it cannot last. But I recommend that you look around to see what's out there. And if you're curious, it's in bale. Just like I said, it's like a bale. Vail camouflage and yes, you can buy it by the yard. You can buy the stuff It costs twice what it does for other camouflage right now, but it's still not Overly expensive that has expensive as some of the other like a tax or kryptek and It's an interesting idea. Plus they have several different patterns that they've come up with So it will you'll find one that suits your area of operation That's simple now with regard to armor gloves. What am I talking about? I'm talking about either a rubber baby buggy bumper reinforced back over the fingers over the back of the of the hand and in many cases with a reinforced palm and a reinforced trigger finger and in some cases middle finger along with the pad on the thumb You will find these also in hard cast or a slash ballistic impact shells too But they do cost more Typically, however, again, the stuff that's been showing up surplus, if I see something like that, in some cases I bought the place out. It's one of those items that we will go through gloves. I mean, I've got three or four armored gloves, sets of gloves I'm using right now in varying condition. So I've been testing to see, you know, how far will they wear if I use them a lot? And I do, I use them a lot. Okay. Uncle Mark always does the wear and tear test. If I buy it, I buy it and try to see if I can kill it. If I can kill it, I'll tell you when it dies. Then we'll do an autopsy on what can we do to fix it. By the way, if I do damage it, I still fix it and then keep using it. Don't think I'd throw anything away. If it's really questionable or it doesn't suit my needs, it goes in a bucket. Guess what? You show up and you're bare-ass naked, you're probably gonna end up with some hand-me-down stuff for me. In addition, all the other stuff I got that's brand new. And the other stuff stored in other places, etc., etc., etc. So one way or another it's not going to be, it's just tossed out. Remember, you know, we're not going to just use it and lose it. We can't afford to. Another thing real quick, also, again I mentioned MREs, the cheapest cheese right now is still over at dollar family dollar, dollar tree and dollar general. It's the Velveeta squeeze cheese stuff that's in the retort type, the foil retort pouch. I recommend it for using in your homemade MRE kits. At the very least, it's one of those things, peanut butter, squeezed cheese, pile of crackers, and you can live like a king in the field for a very long time. Throw a chocolate bar in there. You are an emperor, okay? Between this cheese, the peanut butter, and the chocolate, you better throw some coffee in there, because otherwise, You can get bound up pretty quick, but you know what, it does slow the metabolism down, which is not a bad thing. But you will use everything that you consume like that. The one nice thing is that these pouches are not really big. They're good enough to cook with if you want to do an evening meal. They're perfect for doing, again, a squeeze cheese on crackers. which can be a meal unto itself. You take some dried beef, you take a squeeze cheese tube and one foil pack of no-name brand crackers. That's everything you need to work for the day, you know, right there, period. Take a little chunk, one of those little nibble at pieces of dried meat, nibble on that, put a little bit of squeeze cheese on a cracker, throw that in. You got a good combination of flavor, you're not eating badly at all, not eating bugs, not yet. Well, whatever bugs are in the crackers and they've been ground real fine, so you won't even notice them. But that was back at the mill. So don't worry, you're always eating bugs. Okay, it's just not the bugs that were, oh, you know, roast beetles like in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Anyway, again, all three of the places have it, and one of them has them for a dollar. In fact, we ran into this dollar, family dollar, actually has a lot of items, as I mentioned before, that were a dollar at Dollar Tree. They're still a dollar at Family Dollar right now, and two numerous and two variable, depending upon which store you go to. They're all related. You'll notice the product lines are pretty much the same. And while a lot of their stuff has gone to $1.25, there are a lot of items that are still a dollar apiece that are the same items you're used to buying for a dollar, a dollar tree. So do a search there before you break down and pick up that item at another spot for 25% more in cost. Because you want to try and, again, save every quarter we can. Four of those is another dollar item for the place that still sells it for a dollar. That four that you saved. Another thing also, weather gear over at Sportsman's Guide, I don't know what they have left. They had some Italian and they also had, in fact, I think the Italian is also left. It is in the vegetata. They've gotten these several times. It is the rain suit top and bottom. Okay. So you might want to check those out. Go over to Sportsman's Guide. Do Italian surplus as a search. And what you're looking for is the vegetato rain suits, top and bottom together. They were as little as $7 a set. I don't know if they have any left. As soon as they drop them, they go all the way up to 2x and all the way down to medium at least. And they might even have them in small if you need those. Personally, always go a bigger size because bigger is harder to get. So if you see them in the 1x or the extra large, or actually, forgive me, or 2x, then I recommend grabbing those while you can. Remember that a 2X, if you're wearing, let's think about this, we're getting into cold wet eventually. I mean, after all, it is July into August. Once we get into cold wet, you want your wet weather gear to go over everything. So if you wear a large or an extra large, you get a 2X whenever you can. It'll go over your field jacket, your parka, your second layer of cold weather gear, your woolly pulley and everything else, and you can still move around. It's not like you're a snug sausage in a sausage skin. You're not sausage meat in a sausage skin. That's what the stuff looks like when you have smaller and you have to try and stretch it over everything and make it do. Remember that typically these things have a waist blouse and they also have a lower jacket blouse right at the bottom of the coat all the way around. You can suck all of that in and tighten that up where it's needed. Not a problem. Also, these are in camouflage. And the vegetato will mix well with the woodland camo. It will mix well with the Oh, come on, multi-scam, if you need to, multi-cam, I know. Multi-scam, price-wise it's a scam. And again, still has good weather gear to have on hand. And that is over at sportsmansguide.com. I don't know what's left as of today, but I went through a lot of emails, noticed that they had a notice that they sent me. So they had these things back in stock as of a few days ago. And I don't know if they're still in stock now, but they're definitely worthwhile. I have many sets of these tucked away with the other vegetato gear. Anyway, do we have a collar? Make sure before we get farther, we don't leave anybody out. Okay, very good. Another thing being weapons Wednesday. Combat load with regard to the somebody who's asking me and I didn't get it I did send an email so watch your email. I know whoever it is that asked the question I don't need to say who you'll know who you are If I was carrying a Glock 9 millimeter magazine air 15, what would I have in the weapon for the first first magazine? Well, I mentioned it earlier you can get some pretty decent drums for that are Glock based for the AR-15 carbine, actually they work at any Glock. But that's the big deal now, instead of going with the Uzi magazine and the like Colt did with the Colt 9mm carbine, the new ones have the angled Glock magazine well, although I think they also have one that uses another mag, and forgive me, I'd have to double check what that is. But Glock makes sense. Now, there's a bunch of different Glock drums out there. But Magpul makes one. So if you really like Magpul, then spend a few dollars, buy the Magpul Magazada Drum. But I would get a drum for it, and that's typically what I would carry first in the weapon for most of the work with a weapon like that. I bought the weapon for volume capacity. Okay, that's how I look at it. If it's a 9mm carbine or a 40 carbine or a 45. and you can actually get a 45 drumming Glock, you can get a 40 caliber drumming Glock, and you can get a 9mm, okay? After that, it would be whatever stick mags I could find cheapest for the mostest. And you find I would be carrying the stick mags into the 33 rounders, but it also have a whole pile of standard Glock pistol mags, a whole pile of them. It's why, like when I carry a carbine, my carbine combat kits have five 30 round magazines on all of them. But in addition to that, I've got dozens of 15 rounders. Why? Well, first of all, they were pennies back when I bought them. The pouches were pennies. Now they're dollars and tens of dollars. It's ridiculous what they cost. But it's the idea that I could carry a whole lot of loaded magazines at no great expense. I could fire them and drop them if need be. I'm trying not to do that, especially with a pistol mag. I can snug them into a dump bag real easy. But it is a solution to carry that drum first. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there. Hey, Mark, this is Irish Whiskey. Along the lines of the guac, what do you recommend for carrying as far as pouches or carrying a pile of the 33-round stick mag? A couple of different German ones that are leftovers. Right now, I think a Royal Tiger may still have some of them. They were the nylon vinyl striated 30 round mags that remained for the Wehrmacht. They're OD green, they're cheap. They were only about $1.50 a piece, if not less if you bought a bunch of them. But they're actually long. There's two different ones. One was designed for the 25 or shorter. the other one is longer and can handle the sten mag, which means that in fact it's snug with a sten mag, but those 33 round stick mags should fit comfortably into that. And they're cheap, so you could actually carry a bunch. If you're looking at just over carry, like for general combat use, if you're looking for undercover carry, or I should say casual carry underneath a jacket, If you go over to major surplus, they have a couple of really nice black or you can get them in green or you can get them in brown. Utility nylon pouches where you carry three side by side by side. Now I don't know if they still have that model available so you might have to go to eBay, but those work really well because they have a simple Velcro cover, you know, flap. So they'll fit whatever size mag fits within the pouch. They're adjustable for obvious reasons the way they're set up. But the nylon ones, we bought tons of those years ago. I probably still have a thousand of them in barrels right now. And they work really well with a variety of different mags. Now here's the one thing I wouldn't even hesitate. If the mag is a little shallow, or I should say a little short and it goes down into the mag pouch but it makes it difficult to finger out the mag. You take a pair of scissors and you create a little dollop so that you cut to where you can get the top of the magazine and just slip it right out of the pocket. So it depends on which magazine it is. Some are bulkier than others as we know depending on what caliber it is. Also they don't carry as much depending on what caliber it is. The other option again, there are some other pouches that are available over at Sarco. I don't know if they're still there, but they were and they're actually ideally suited their their custom cut. I think they're still doing it. You're gonna have to almost call. They were making these pouches in Rhodesian. and also the two German SS pattern camouflages that were very common for reenactment groups. The big thing is they do offer them in the Rhodesian pattern and they actually have a whole bunch of different web gear they're doing in that. The one pouch will fit those Glock mags quite nicely if it's still available. Looks good too by the way. Nice camo. So I mean that's just pretty camo but works okay. So hopefully it's a solution. The first place to look for the one-mag pouch, they're vinyl, they're three round side, three mags side by side by side. There's also a four mag for the shorter mags that are in the same material. You've also seen the G3 pouches done in the same material. It was a striated nylon vinyl outer coating. It was a standard waterproof, easy, lightweight web gear that the Germans and NATO came up with. The Dutch used it, the Austrians used it, the Germans used it. Sure. This is getting maddening to have to pay and for less almost three weeks now. Also, my phone hasn't worked at all the property. So I can't make or receive any calls at all where I'm working. That's why essentially I have no phone. So I have to go somewhere else. I have to go a few more miles on the road. And I just traveled yesterday about 100 miles and even the area that is affected seems to be I went for like almost an hour not having any phone service at all. It's like ridiculous. So hopefully my signal will be coming okay. I have to stand outside in a certain area to be able to get a signal at all. So I am outside and trying to do the show. But anyway, this is Craig from Good Knowledge and if you're listening, I'll be, as you were still in July here, July 27th, Wednesday, July 27th, you're listening live. We have a lot to talk about here. I have these things in mind and I got some things pulled up on the screen here that I decided to... Talk about if nobody wants to talk about a particular subject. I'm gonna try to give you an update on my truck working Rebuilding the truck not rebuilding the truck up putting in a rebuild engine Doing some other work as I go including some errors. We've been working on tires still in the mechanic out there to help people the engine, but I had a mechanic out about a week ago and To pull the engine and he thought that the engine The clutch would hit. It wouldn't come out without dropping the front axle and jacking the truck upward, taking off the oil pan and all these other stuff, try to get it to clear. Because it has to apparently, it would end up coming forward about two or three inches before it can come up. At least that was his thinking. No, I talked to people at, there's a place that does military vehicles. Called Memphis equipment and I'm trying to advertise for them. I don't pay me anything, but they they called them up and talked to a back there and he said well No, you don't really have to do that talk, but you're better off pulling the engine the transmission together And I already had disconnected the transmission from the engine So I'm going by their advice because then the McKinley clap we didn't pull it so I said, okay I'll hook the transition back up to the engine which was 12 bolts inside put six and 12 bolts in Hard to land it back up because it had already shifted a little bit. It was jacking. And I had to pull the floor pan. That was the hardest part, pulling the floor actually. All the rust and corrosion of water being on the floor, the rag pop rotted away and so water had been coming straight into the cab. So sitting inside the cab and leaves and water and just anyway, I had to cut off most of the bolts to get the floor, sections of the floor off so I could work on the transmission. I was able to unhook it from the bottom reaching way up but hooking the back up was older than story because I couldn't get in all the bolts lined up and I had to jack the transmission up a little bit to get them to get the line up. Anyway, got the engine hooked back up to the transmission after finally pulling the pieces of the floor off. Then I started to hook the transmission. There's about seven or eight things to have to unhook for the transmission and all of it's in very inaccessible places. So I got the Engine and transmission disconnected As a unit and so that's my better bet on pulling it according to the equipment So that's what I'll be doing next to the engine as far as the wheels go I put a video up about a little more a week ago now We have talked about it briefly last week. I had a problem fitting the wheels that I bought I'm going with super singles meeting. I'm going from 10 wheels to Six wheels if I'm losing you on this people if you're just joining us for the first time this is a military six by six a 1955 Mac military dump truck with a continental gasoline engine. Okay, so sorry You're just joining us. Don't know what I'm talking about And for 1955 the early it's a five-ton and although in the decent house same thing For many decades the deuce and house and the five times had ten wheels But I'm converting mine to six wheels kind of like more modern some eyes tend to go these days instead of having 18 wheelers They're 10 wheels. That right? It's 16 That's right. Yeah, 10 wheels look at Potter some eyes today a lot of them and you instead of 18 wheels anyway some of my come out of course first configurations, but more anyway, I've been Working on that the tires would not fit. I got these aluminum wheels And they would not fit. The video goes into details about that. I won't go here. So I'd take them back. It was an eight hour drive round trip. We could take them back again and train them in for steel wheels. And I had to spend one more time there pulling the tires off my aluminum wheels and putting them back onto the steel wheels. But I had to also take rubber off the steel wheels and do it my way. It was a big mess. Instead of even putting the tires back on the wheels, I decided to, and a couple of them were in great shape, I decided to have them sandblasted and painted because they were not looking so great. But anyway, and I ordered a paint, got a gallon of primer and a gallon of OD green called Forest Green, this particular green that I got. There's a lot of different OD greens I found out that might have been used for that truck. And the one I got was Forrest Green, but I recommended the guy on the phone who knows his trucks and then the ear and everything. Mine originally was, if I pulled up, the specialist individual, mine originally, because I had popped some blue underneath the paint. And I talked to him a lot and he said, well, yeah, that's probably a, that's pretty rare. That's an old, that's a Navy truck. Originally it was a Navy truck and it was rare to have a, for a Navy truck to be in a dump configuration. So he said, that's a pretty rare truck. Well, it's been sold and that doesn't matter much to me because I'm not trying to restore the thing But because I asked him what was the primer ever blue To know primer was either red or he said gray And I saw the red underneath as a primer, but I then there was blue and then green on top of that So anyway, I learned something about my truck. My truck was originally as a rare Navy dump truck by 10 Navy dump Yeah, I suppose if I wanted to restore it to a really great condition, it might be worth more that way. But I'm not, it's a work truck. And it's got rust and it's not worth saving probably as far as trying to make it, trying to restore it would be problematic. But I mean, there's still that possibility. Anyway, I got to looking into the painting and got my, looking at my compressor and my paint gun and all the things that I have to get yet to do a spray painting on these wheels. Don't really have I have a blast cabinet, but if anywhere near as big as these wheels So I had to take them into a shop and they were in the shop for two weeks get blasted sandblasted. I'm gonna back yesterday And it was pretty nice although there's some pitting on one of the wheels Luckily, none of the pitting seems to be the bead because babies are tubeless tires. You know super singles But I'm still gonna think I'm gonna do an experiment and try to use filler and It complicates things a little bit because I decided to powder coat them instead of paint them. Now powder coating, I didn't want to research on powder coating last week because I actually had my brother pass away and he had a lot of tools. One of the things he had was a Chicago Electric, which is that's a, that's a cheap Harbor Freight brand powder coating system. It's a gun, it's got a hopper on it. You put your powder in it. A little brief, if you don't know what executive powder coating is, very briefly, powder coating is a process that you spray on a powder onto the part. You have to clean the part really good first. You spray this powder on with a low rate. It's more like fogging it on. It's not so much spraying it on as is it fogging it on? Because you fog the part. in this powder and what happens is that the part attracts the powder at 6 foot by electrostatic attraction if you will because the power cooling system has a little electrode that goes onto your part and creates like a negative ion charge or whatever I'm not sure if it's negative or positive, be honest with you folks. And then the gun does the opposite charge as it leaves the gun to the powder as it leaves the gun and it kind of creates a fog and it's supposed to stick to the part. Not permanently, it just sticks. You can easily wipe it off. You can easily blow it off with a air hose if you mess it up, or you can wipe it off with your finger real easy. Blow it off with your breath too, you can blow it right off. So it's kind of fragile. You can't really do it like in a really windy environment. But it sticks enough to where you then take it into an oven and bake it. And usually it's about 400 degrees for about 15, 20 minutes. And the coating on it is a much more durable surface. finished then it's latex or oil paint. So there are some advantages. I already had air compressor and you really don't need much of an air compressor and it doesn't take much air. In fact you're only using it at about three to five pounds PSI when you're using the cycle system. But yes, it hooks up the compressor. It has a little bit of airflow and it drops this powder from the hopper and goes in on the end of this gun, which has a little electrode, which electrostatically charges. And then that allows it to stick to the part. You spray about six to eight inches from your part and you just create this little fog. And the idea is, if you've got a good system going, it goes even to the corners and crevices, which may be hard to reach other ones. That isn't always the case. There are some problems. They just have to mess with the electrical charge with it a little bit, lower the air, but the air cross has been done for decades and it makes it much more durable. Much more resistant to UV light and chipping. You can scratch it with your finger and you're not going to do anything to it. Whereas if you scratch good enough with your finger, you probably can scratch out some paint if you were to use a good paint job. So clear coating seemed like the way to go and I'm going to try it. It's more weather resistant. They have different types of clear coat finishes. What I found in the clear coat business is most, and I'm not trying to do this for business, I'm just trying to do it for my own truck at this point. What I found was you watch all the YouTube videos and all the people catering to that sector of the demographic. It's basically catering to the hot rodder, the restorer, the people who want to slick up their vehicles. You know, where you open up the hood and you see you know, candy, apple, exhaust, and usually they do the valve covers in this. They do the various parts under the hood. You can't really use it on the exhaust manifold or the exhaust, not this process anyway. There's other things you can do with that. But they try to slip up their engine or their wheels. Wheels are a big thing too. neon colors for wheels or sparkling wheels or even glow-in-the-dark coatings. So most of the people who go in this sort of thing are going into that sort of market to slick up their vehicle, their car, cool or whatever. Not necessarily the practical. For me, hey, I'm going OG green and I don't even want to be shiny, so because you have these super high gloss things too. And I don't even want it to be shiny, but and one of the disadvantages of doing this in my case is the the least shiny which they call flat in the powder coat market is more like eggshell finish or even a semi-gloss. In other words, it doesn't really flat flat like you would expect with a flat paint like you might want to put on a military vehicle. But they do have various, there's this one company that has I think they say 16,000 colors and they have They have one they call army green. I'm going to buy some swashes of these things so I can get the colors in my hand before I buy the powder because the powder is not cheap. And they have about a dozen flat companies. What they call flat, which is more like eggshell, it's not quite flat. But it's as flat as I can get with powder coating. So I'm going to give it a try. It's an old army truck, these are wheels, this is not a show truck, I just want them to be very durable. Since I'm having to, I'm trying to blast them anyway, I decided to try this. But you need a lot more than that. You also need, like I said, you have to heat them for about, usually it's between 350 degrees and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, for usually about 10 to 20 minutes, somewhere in that range. And so, you need another. Not going to do that with a heat gun. So you need another now you can do it. It's a small part. Let's say I Don't know a bicycle chain cover Or I don't know something you something that you can fill in the poster oven you can do it with the telescope You literally can do it a little toaster oven like you have in your house You don't want to use your toaster oven if using it for food you want to take it offline and use it specifically for powder coating Because I guess you can make some toxic mess inside your oven and you don't want to do that. So if you But you can do it as if it's a small part like that you can use just the toast drum Or you can buy it go go on online and go to the marketplace and or or Craigslist and buy a $50 to $100 old electric stove that'll work, too again, something that You can leave in the shop or garage and just use powder coating or something like that not for food. You wouldn't really want to use the food And so you can get by with that. Now, these wheels, unfortunately, I thought about doing that because I do have toaster ovens, can't fit a wheel in the toaster. Also have an oven that I've been trying to sell for a while for 65 bucks. But it's not big enough for that either. Even though it's big enough width-wise, these wheels are like 24 inches wide. They're 20 inch wheels, but they're about 24 inches wide. And they're about 15 inches deep, including the studs that are sticking out of them. So they, but it wouldn't fit in depth wise. Your standard home stove, you're only talking 18 to 20 inches deep. Whereas the width is 24 inside. For a 30 inch stove, this is a really rough dimensions of it. So it couldn't fit in. So I got it online looking and I found it, I saw it about to be a really good deal on a oven. Because you have these bigger ovens that the people who do this for business utilize. And I found one the guy had, he'd been past all for a while and he's coming down on the prize. And it's in the inside dimensions of it are three foot by three foot by six foot. So you can literally cause you to stand in it. If you're six foot or less. And like a shower stall almost. And it's got it's basically got two heating elements and they're straight out of an electric stove. Standard electric stove. Two heavy heating elements in it. It's got big door swings on. You can put racks in there and everything. You have to put them in there and then you close the door and you get it up from 400 degrees for about 10 or 15 minutes. That's what I'm going to buy. If it's still there, I'm going to go to Ohio when I come back to my trip. Yeah, I'm taking the bill trip. Although I'm not doing it before this weekend, I am acquiring 88 cases of MREs in Kentucky. And I'm taking those 88 cases of MREs. I'm going to ask them to sell them to you because they're already also sold. I sold them already to a party in North Carolina. So I'm basically picking up and he's taking a mood with Carolina, but on the way back I'm gonna pick up this stove in Ohio, which is on my way back to Michigan and I'll have an empty truck on the way back. So I'm gonna make the best of these trips as long as the parts, as long as the thing's still there, he's been, I have no engine to do this. So yeah, that's all I'm gonna give it a try. I'm picking a way to spin around and sell it, and I probably have a hard time selling like he did, but I might as soon as I'm gonna do this, and I'd also had to pull The batteries had to come out. I had to basically destroy the battery box, get it out. About the bottom was rusted completely out. One of the batteries had cracked open and asked to go over the place. And he brought in the battery box and did some damage to the framing underneath. So I took all that out. There was a weld I have to do and I might have to replace a piece of steel on the framing underneath. And I got looking at it and I said, well, all I got to do is unbolt three more people. I can take off this whole vest straight off the frame. It would include the step and the supports that hold the step and the whole battery box system. Since I got it all apart anyway, might as well take off these six and others eight volts. Four on the frame and four more on the step down. And all those parts will fit in. Into the car code And it won't cost me much if I already got the system there and I might as well if they ever had that problem again I'm not gonna have a corrosion problem there for as long as I live on that truck So all the parts that I believe I'm gonna be taking off if I can fit them in the powder coat oven If there's something I can do I think I'm gonna powder coat them all Gonna buy about 10 pounds the start of this. I gotta buy 10 pounds of primer fruit Yeah, you can you prime you can't I don't have to prime depends on the condition, but in my case I'm buying a zinc rich primer the powder coat on the bare wheels that have been sandblasted. Then I'm coating them with green, OD green is best to know OD green as a part. What I'm going to buy, I'm going to get some, if the company will give you six free sloshes if you don't know what color you want, and I'm going to get the six most likely colors, and I'm going to compare them, and I'll probably buy two or three of them, and do a sort of camo effect. It's not as easy to do camo with this as it is with like a can of spray paint, for instance. But I can at least vary the shades here and there and put in a spot of brown, you know, flat brown of some kind. There's some other color that makes sense for the color scheme that I picked. And do a little bit of a camel effect on it. It won't be authentic, but it will still look military. So anyway, I plan on doing that. Gotta order some more parts for them But I gotta get the pan blasting that the sandblasting is none of those parts and all these other parts I'll have to get those sandblasting some of them I may be able to myself in my own sandblast cabinet, but I have to find I have to find the rest of the parts because I don't know when my brother had all this stuff They're in boxes somewhere and I may have to buy I got the cabinet I got a compressor and that's about it. So then a hose. I don't have a gun. I don't have The light inside the cabinet the gloves that are in there need to be replaced There's a few things I buy in order to use my blast cabinet. So meantime, I may have to take them to the sandblasted It's not very expensive, but all the parts of it end up having a sandblast. It'll start getting expensive pretty quick. Cost me $300. The sandblasted wheels, six of these super singles, $50 each. Then you get a powder coated, $200 each. So I'm not going there. I'm going to go ahead and do that myself and probably start sandblasting myself the dust I can. Since I'm not building it and I'm still waiting on mechanics, I will do as much as I can of other stuff. So anything going back in to the truck, Instead of just looking at it and rubbing it off and hoping it done rust anymore. I'm going to sandblast it and dane it. All the patchwork of various pieces will don't look like the rest of them for a while until the whole truck has gone through like that. And I may never get there, but I'll have a much more durable truck because I don't have a place to put it inside. It's not in a lean too. It's not inside at all. It's outside. So I'll completely expose the weather 24-7. So I thought it made a little sense to trim it. Maybe I'll fail, but it becomes not good enough. I'm happy enough. Just a just an old army truck So anyways, that's something I met with that So I have the tires off and cover them up keeping the rain out of them You know what water going in there because they have the run flats, you know Run flats are this big hundred pound slug basically probably weighs more than a hundred pounds slug. It's like a little tire inside the tire Really hard to get in and out really hard to get in and out. Yep. There's a jack and come alongs and things Unless you have a special hydraulic system to get it in there and I don't know why if I get water in there You can't really can't get it out So I covered them up real good to keep water from them keep the rain from going in there Because you really can't get me past those things. They're blocking everything so a lot of gets in your casket And then so I But that now I have the front wheels off you didn't watch the video I had troubles getting the wheels off a bread broke a stud Getting them off as I found out they were left-hand threads on the driver side of the truck Yeah, one side is right-hand thread the other side is left-hand threads. Go figure. That's a military thing. I'm cold and then Having other problems and did not fitting and having to take them back and so it's been a whole debacle Luckily I'm doing myself. So it's wasted time. Well in some ways it will but it's That cost me a huge amount because I'm having been doing all this myself. Okay, let's see. I guess that's a good update on the truck. Turn on my computer here. I can talk a little bit about and a lot of things in the news about this heat wave. And I did my last show I did two weeks ago about grid, electricity grid. And we experienced more problems with the grid. warnings from various places, like Texas for instance, we're warning them all, yeah you need to cut back on barks, try to get people voluntarily to put back on electricity use, turn off your thermostats, try to encourage businesses to shut down, all this sort of thing. And this is our future, especially more and more we go into renewables. This is your future, you're looking at your future now. Regardless of heatwave or not, this is going to be your future. The renewables, and I went over quite a bit of things on the last show, the renewables is really, it's not really helping the grid, it's really hampering the grid. Let's see if I can explain this. The easiest way to think about it is in a water bottle. Because a lot of it, it's easy to understand. Instead of talking terawatts and megawatts and all this sort of thing, and kilowatt hours and all this, which a lot of people kind of gloss over, if you think of gallons of flow, everybody can understand that, right? So let's say I've got a system here on this house that I'm looking at. It's got a, and you saw the video that you're a few weeks ago, I posted. It's got a, a four, let's call it a four gallon system. It's 4,000 watts, but it's called a four or 4,000. Let's call it a 4,000. Let's call it a four gallons. Just stay with low numbers. And let's say the house only uses Well gee, the house is only using the summertime, but if I don't use, if I don't use air conditioning, it's probably only using one gallon of electricity. So, oh, that sounds like 20, right? Well, no, it isn't. Not at all. Because that four-gallon system is really only about one gallon. You see, because when you look at that one-gallon system, it's rated at one gallon, but it only gets one gallon in the middle of the day at noon for about an hour. The rest of the day is putting out record or a drop or none at all. So when you average a solar system out, you really have to basically divide it by four. And that's in a good area. That's during a peak time like, say June, July, like we're in now where you have a lot more sun. That's at a peak time. You have to reduce it by about one fourth. And that's not if it's even in the wintertime, you might as well do this by about eight. Because of snow and with more clouds and so on and depends on where the country you're at. So really only really getting a gallon Out of that per day and and that's what the house uses but but that gallon a day you have to be able to put somewhere to store it because You're getting all that gallon at once in the middle of the day and you're not getting any at night and the night you still want to use your lights and there's no water to run your lights anymore I give this sounds weird and really the water for lights, but this is where using gallons here using waters make it simple So you have to store it. And then, or do they have to back back? Now, grids have extremely small amounts of batteries. And therein lies the problems. And grids are never going to get very much energy to be able to store the batteries. Or other types of storage, which there are, there are dozens of types of storage available out there for energy. In fact, using the water model, there's one of the best actually is is the hydroelectric model where the hydroelectric power plant actually can store some energy in the form of water. Or you can use what they can pump hydro, which means you basically have two lakes. One had a higher elevation than the other. So when you have excess power, you pump the water up into the upper lake, and when you need the power and you don't have it anymore, you let it run back through like a hydroelectric, like a hydroelectric water dam. It's a general electricity, hydroelectric. But there's lots of other ways. There's something called liquid air. There's something called capacitors. There's something wave energy. There's hydrogen. There's dozens and dozens of different ways that man has devised to store energy, but none of them have this metal test. None of them are practical on a utility scale at anywhere near a price that anybody is going to want to even talk about. Nuclear actually comes out cheaper when you talk about renewables with energy storage. And a lot of people don't like to hear that and the greenies are shying away from that, but they would have to admit that I am right if they didn't have their political agenda to do away with nuclear. But if the greenies have their way to do away with fossil fuels and we're stuck with just renewables, we're in for a heap of trouble. I mean, I'm being in a heap of trouble because there aren't enough, there aren't even enough, enough battery, enough of raw materials to make batteries. Right now, the most A favorite way of storing electricity is with lithium ion batteries. Batteries like the Tesla has, batteries like the Tesla Powerwalls have. Utility-scale batteries that are packed in trailers and put on site. These are lithium ion batteries, and that takes lithium, cobalt, and iron, of which not only have iron and cobalt now are going to be harder to get because of what gate off is doing over in Ukraine. It's going to take more lithium and cobalt and iron and nickel than the earth even has in the ground. It's been projected that we don't even have enough of those materials in the ground to be mined, let alone in stock in order to be shipped to make your batteries for your electric cars. The Biden administration is going to force you into, it must of course you into, they want to force you into electric cars. And yet our grid is already at the limit right now. That really is. Grid is at the limit right now. What's going on in Texas and California is pretty cool. But yet we're going to need about 30% larger grid in order to make this electric car mean work. How's that going to happen? You're going to use, you're going to use, if you're doing away with fossil fuels, meaning natural gas, coal, biofuels, you're doing away with all those, oil, and you don't like nuclear, what you got left? Wind and solar. We went wind and solar right now. The price of electricity would go astronomical. It would go 10 times what it is now. And you would have massive rolling blackouts all throughout the nation. I don't know. The greenies don't like that answer. They'll try to argue that. But if you look into it, like I have, you'll find there is no other way. Right now, we still get more than half our electricity from fossil fuels. And that's going to have to continue, especially if you think you're going to expand the grid by 30%. You could fill every single inch of the United States with solar panels, and you're not going to have enough electricity to handle your damn solar meme. You're still going to have massive rolling blackouts. Because at night, I guarantee you those solar panels are going to put out zero. And trying to transport, I read an article and saw a YouTube video about all we've got to do is cover the Sahara Desert and solar panels and that's enough to power the whole world. Huge problem with that and that's transportation. Storage and transportation. Not only storage because you'd have to store that energy. But all we'll just transport where it's dark. If it's new in the Sahara, the Sahara Desert, that means it's... That means it's the middle of the night in Hawaii and they can use electricity and okay, where are you gonna run your electric lines? You're gonna run 3,000 mile electric lines from shore to shore to get to Hawaii? I don't think so. And you're gonna run electrical lines all over the world to get from the Sahara Desert to the United States or China or Australia? I don't think so. Not only that, but that doesn't work anyway because you have what they call energy line losses. All of you have been near these large high-tension lines and you can hear them just buzzing away, zapping and buzzing. That's energy being lost to the air. You lose a certain amount of energy and they heat up and when you put more through those conductors, when more electricity falls through those conductors, if you watch, if you do a time-lapse picture of them, the lines actually lengthen and heat up and lengthen. They stretch basically and sag more. and you have what you call line losses. So you can't transport them really long distances without line losses. By the time you tried to transport electricity from the Sahara Desert to Texas, you got virtually nothing left. So, no, that doesn't work. But even if you cover the entire United States in the solar panels, that doesn't work either, for the United States even. Why? Because you got lots of electricity during the middle of the day. Lots of it. You got electricity to waste. But then come nightfall, you got none. None at all. So I'll come the candles, I'll come your generators, whatever you live without. This is not electricity tonight. That's where you want to live. We're not used to that. But you turn yourself on up at night. But you ran your air conditioner at night. But you ran your heater at night. You do how? House. No, you do things at night too. So, same with wind generators. You can cover the entire United States with wind generators. You can have a wind generator every 400 feet or 500 feet. How far apart is the patient? Not gonna fit your needs. So we have power. I just didn't have massive times when But back we have to close everybody go home. We can't work today because we have to win those things are rated at 25 miles per hour and You're Michigan where I am. It's very rarely 25 miles an hour. I don't think you want to live in a place at 25 miles in all time It's very annoying. There have been to those windy places have to live with that all the time I wouldn't be able to talk to you right now. It was 25 miles per hour of wind So Texas has got another problem though Texas has got a big problem, lots of big problems. And I'm not just trying to pick on Texas because of that. It's just that it is what it is. Nine percent of world's cryptocurrency computing power is in Texas. Crypto miners power down during heat wave. For whatever reason, I have to read more into it. I don't remember the reason, but Texas has become a hot spot for crypto miners to have to bring in their facilities and then these huge facilities I see a picture one right now huge facilities that look bigger than factories for cars I mean, they're huge and they're doing nothing but generating Bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency mining I have to question immediately I Don't own any cryptocurrency and I will never only cryptocurrency. I don't have a thing. I don't have a thing to do with it, but yet It's taking away our precious grid electricity. Now we have to build more infrastructure on. So people can play with their imaginary money that goes down in value up and down, up and down. I looked up Bitcoin here before I came on the air. And right now, let's see today, it is under $23,000 for Bitcoin. The last two years have been a roller coaster. Gone all the way up to, let me see, put my cursor on the graph here. Had gone as high as like 65,000 in November. So it's like one third now, almost one third of what it was. And that's really a good investment, folks. Maybe when you bought it when it was a dollar a share, a dollar a coin, way back, way back when. It's not insured by anything. It's a total risk. imaginary completely. That's even more imaginary than FRN. I'm not sure why people are gravitating towards this. But if you bought cryptocurrency the last two years, you've lost money. Yes, you've lost money. Or if you cash some in, which nobody ever seems to want to do, they just brag about how much cryptocurrency they have and then they watch it plummet. But it's been around for more than 10 years. And it was fairly stable up until about four years ago. And it spiked up a little bit. And then it jumped around for the next two years a little bit, under 20,000. And then two years ago, roughly two people in November, it started in November 2020. So almost two years ago, it started going up and up and up and then jumping around and we have, looks like a huge mountain range. We're looking at... the first eight years of it looks like Kansas, the next 10 years of it looks like the Appalachian Mountains, and the last, or the next two years, look like the Appalachian Mountains, and the next two years looks like the Rocky Mountains, to give you an idea. So anyway, the crypto miners, for some reason, have picked hotspot as having, oh, 9% of the world, not just the United States, the world's cryptocurrency computing power is in Texas. So, From the articles I read, they supposedly have powered down during the heat wave to be nice. And Texas managed to survive. If the cryptocurrency miners continued to do what they were doing, they would not survive. They would have to close down a lot of factories to keep people to be able to have air conditioning. Probably you would have to go home. You worked in an office or you had to work in a factory. Probably would have to go home. They would have to shut down rolling blackouts. That's typically what utilities will do. Now, Texas might be delivered because they have quite a different system than the rest of the U.S., but I bet they have contracts, and the contracts probably show that the industry would be shut down before the people would be kind of thing. So, and this heat wave, and it's, we've had these issues on and off, not only in Texas, but all over the country, especially during power. How it is ice storms and stuff. That's more normal stuff. This is long-term stuff we're talking about here. Where you're taking up so much of the energy for cryptocurrency. The figure, and I'll see if I can find the number here. The, I mean, I can't find it. But what I remember reading about it is, here's an article called, Cryptocurrency's Dirty Secret Energy Consumption. And in there, there was another article, another thing showing about how much energy. Basically, the amount of energy that Houston uses is how much cryptocurrencies used in Texas. So in other words, if you power down cryptocurrency, get rid of it, then you could power another Houston. That's essentially the upshot of it. And I think China was one of them. One of the reasons now, China may have probably had another ulterior motive. They probably didn't want their Their currency to want one because I was called they probably didn't want their currency to Be in jeopardy from a crypto cryptocurrency that people might have tried to go towards So that probably is the main reason but they also that the main reason they claimed was because of energy consumption That's what they claimed that there was probably another reason more great than that For China, so they basically banned cryptocurrency mining in China now if cryptocurrency here's the ideal match since not only is Solar and wind a burden on the system. It's not adding to the system really much at all because let's say you add your four gallons to the grid and You're already generating enough electricity now. They have this new there's there's more water coming into the grid and that's cut back on the water so that the shut down a natural gas plant or a That oh here comes a cloud. Oh, I guess start right back up again You see that's the problem. I'd be facing with with solar It's too variable unless you have a massive battery bank, which you're not going to have. The exception to all this would be as if we found a great new, if we had a great quantum leap in energy storage technology. That could be a game changer, but I mean a big jump. You know, like 10, 20, 100 times better than what we have now. That's what would be needed because what we have right now just doesn't cut the mustard. It's just way too inefficient. It's not so much efficiency, it's cost. The pump hydro I was talking about has about a 70% recovery rate. Batteries actually have about 95%, 90-95% recovery rate. In other words, the amount of electricity used to generate, to put into the batteries and the amount you get back, by the time you get back out, you're only using like 5-7% of batteries. And you're losing about 30% from pump storage hydro. You're losing about 60% if you go with hydrogen. I know a lot of people like the screen hydrogen and green hydrogen. And you're only getting about 40% of the power back out of it that you put into it. That's not a good option either. None of them are acceptable for any kind of decent money. So, I mean, you can look it up and you can disagree with me like, well, come with a better system. Nobody's found one. Right now, batteries is the favorite one. And that just costs a huge amount. And we don't have enough to do it. Now wind could cover the grid partially sometimes in the, at night. But those of us who have owned wind generators know that well, there isn't much wind at night either usually typically when stops the wind generator from turning at night, typically it doesn't turn there are of course exceptions sometimes it does turn but most of the time it doesn't again the things rated it at 25 miles an hour if you only have a five or six mile per hour wind you're basically getting nothing out of your wind generator that's typically what it is you most time and depending where in the country you are of course Most time around here, it's generally only 6 to 7 miles per hour is like the average. If you look at an average in an airport or something, it's a very low number. And so it's never going to put out this rate at all. So that's one of the places the greenies lie to you. Flat out lie to you. When they say they have a solar system, it puts out four gallons. Nope. Nope. Don't do it. It puts out about one gallon. Live with it. Tell the truth for a change. So although I'm with the greenies and I'd like to see fossil fuels certainly disfavored, we'll still need it for even if we find a power source, we don't need fossil fuels anymore. You're still going to need it for lubricating oils and for frankly airplanes and trains and heavy equipment. Unless we have a, again, unless we get this massive energy storage density technology that we need, you're not going to see airplanes on electric only. So, I saw something in popular science, they have an airplane that flies and it flies continually. Yeah, well, it doesn't carry any cargo either, it doesn't carry any people, it's extremely lightweight and it's not practical. And it's hovered above the clouds so it gets sun all the time. So, you need something very energy dense for something like an airplane because of the weight restrictions. Something like a train, you don't have as much weight restrictions, but in order to power a train all electric, you'd have to have half the train being nothing but batteries. They go across country like they can now with a diesel fuel fill up. If you can't go across country, they have to fill up more than once going across country, but you get the idea. Diesel, gasoline, those are very energy dense fuels. Solar is not very energy dense at all. You give an idea, if you cover your car with solar panels, because you say, oh, I saw cars that run just nothing off about solar. Well, yeah, they'll get in those erasers. They're laying on the ground practically. They're super... Super efficient, our carbon fiber bodies are basically laying on the ground because of the air stream flow and they But if you put your solar panels in your car You'll get maybe a perfectly sunny day. You'll get less than one mile distance extension of your car before your battery charge runs out That's kind of power we're talking about here folks It's miniscule compared to what fossil fuels or nuclear can do. Nuclear is even more fabulous than coal a fist full of uranium, a size of your fist, I don't know how many thousands of coal cars it equals, but that's the kind of scale we're talking about here. The amount of energy in thousands of coal cars is the amount of energy in like a fist full of uranium. So it, nuclear is a very good option, but the greenies don't like that either, just because. No particular reason, just because. No claim, all sorts of things, but all those are easily debunked. And they don't want to hear any debunking because they got a political agenda. So let's see what my time is here. I got another 10 minutes or so. So the grid is in trouble. And it's going to be continually in trouble as we go on. I also looked up while I was looking up Bitcoin prices because I heard on the news that Bob Gold and Silver are not doing too well. And sure enough, let me just pull up a number here. Get a current number if computer cooperates. Solar is under 20. Yeah, silver is 1929 right now and gold is under 2000 gold is 1,739 And that makes no sense will be high inflation. We have right now so I don't know if there's Manipulating of the markets there or whatever but gold and silver should actually be going up quite a bit right now And they've actually come down because we have this high inflation They're probably trying to keep people into the FRNs try to discourage them from getting into gold and silver so That's weird. So it might be a good time if you have the extra money to pad your padding a little bit with gold and silver if you want. If you want to go that route, I don't recommend everybody doing that. I've been talked about this many times in the show. You don't want to put all your eggs in that basket. It could be fraught with hazards, especially if you have a Social Security number and they ban gold and silver. Yeah, they could easily ban gold and silver like they tried to do. They collect gold like they did. They didn't just... try to do what they did. They didn't really have able to enforce it too much, but people soon having to hide all the gold and they have essentially a carp, uh, 1933, they essentially a contraband. And so I went with all the Hitler youth nowadays, it would be turning you in for their reward credits. And uncle Sam would be offering, you'd be turned in for tiny pedal, some gold and silver for some food or something else. So you're stuck. You got that social security number. You're stuck into the system and with their system, try to go on the black market with it, but it's not the danger. So I don't recommend necessarily. I recommend having some, but just don't put all your eggs in that basket. Just like any other investment, you have a little bit of money to put away, put away in a lot of places. And speaking of a good investment, probably, and the before mentioned, MREs I was talking about, food. Yeah, the price of my food went up. The price of those MREs went up. The price of MREs, let's say, the pre-pandemic. For a case of MREs, 12 meals of modern U.S. MREs, a standard Model 1's in-date, typically they would beat between $60 and $80. During the pandemic, they went up to about $100, and they went back down to around $80 or so in recent, well, pre-inflation. Now they're hovering around $100. For a case that was maybe $60 a month, or I'm sorry. two years ago. So that's a problem because food is going to be a big commodity. It already is. We already know. We hear it every day about Ukraine and Russia and famine. Heat crops loss because of the heat. Then this is going to be a problem. And it's not going to be a one year problem. It's going to be a multiple year problem. It's probably going to be a forever problem. It's not going to get much better than wanting to ban pesticides. Did you know that Sri Lanka collapsed basically because they banned pesticides? and fertilizers, they've been, not at all, organic. Sri Lanka, they collapsed their economy totally. Now their country is destroyed. Now their countries are talking about doing the same thing. You want to destroy your economy? You destroy the farmers, you destroy your economy. Make everything organic and half the world's going to starve. If all the farms in this world were going to organic and no fertilizers, half the world would starve. And price of food would go up 10 times what it is now. So, no, you don't want to go there. But then again, there's the greenies again. I think they know all the answers. Make your food expensive. And being a mount house dealer, I can tell you for a fact, I have not been able to order mount house for many months as a dealer. None. Not even limited selection. None. Zero. I asked them last week, when do we expect to see food? Not in the foreseeable future was the answer. Now, there still is some freeze-dried foods that are selling. Mount House claims in the newsletters I see most of the time, it's not as much of a supply problem as it is a labor problem, according to the emails I get for the dealers, for dealers eyes. It's mostly a work-loading, a lack of labor. That's what they tell us. There's anything more to it or not, but that's the reason there are there are other reason given there are other companies that are still selling free as right food, so it's not industry-wide. Maybe they're all suffering a little bit, but industry-wide that prices have gone up and I suspect when I can finally get mount house food, the price is going to be quite high. Mount house food was about the highest price freeze-dried food there was to begin with. That's going to be even higher when it finally comes back. So I don't know what to tell you. I'm thinking what I'm kind of saying is if you Don't want to jump into gold and silver or if you already have some of that and you don't have some food stored That might be your better bet Be very careful though. It's easy to lose your food not only from fast, but also from bugs and such You got to learn how to store it learn all the tricks Long-term storage freeze dryer is great because it's easy to store whereas bulk grains aren't as good I had to throw away a batch of rice here the other day Because open up the lid and there's all these Bob things in them. I had it sealed good. It wasn't Whole little tub of brown rice. Poof. You can freeze them, but already could have electricity. There's a lot of things you got to consider with food storage, but we talk about it a lot on this network, obviously. So this is something you need to listen to and maybe you want to buy some food and have a store in hand. I'd recommend everybody have at least a year of food on hand, but that's just me. And no, I'm not a religious reason. I'm not Mormon or anything like that. Just kind of common sense with what way things could happen. This grid going down is your biggest thing to worry about. You're worried about financial collapse. You better worry about the grid going down before. Because if the grid goes down, you're also going to have financial collapse. If the grid goes down, you're also going to have food shortages. If the grid goes down, you're going to have everything. You're going to have famine, water problems, hygiene. Everything's going to be a mess. Was there a caller? I heard somebody say something. No, maybe not. So food might be a way to go, but learn how to survive without the grid. That's your best bet. and having some food stores gonna have to be one of them. Learn how to live like we did 150 years ago. That's your key to survival. It's what's to come. That and be invisible. Yeah, having an AR in a thousand rounds of 223, whatever you think it is you're gonna use to fight off all the refugees. A lot of people think that's where that's the direction that's headed. Uh, no, how long do you think as soon as those first shot bring out, that's going to draw attention to you. And then you got other people coming to find out, well, it must be something good there. Let's go find out. You've drawn attention yourself. How many gunfights you think you're going to find going to win and how much ammo you think you're going to before you before you get done in? Because yeah, you will be done in. See what I'm saying here, folks. Your best gunfight to get in is the one you don't have to get the one you avoid. One you remain quiet on because you were invisible. That's the best gunfight to get in. So if everybody else's house has been looted in ransacked, make sure your house looks looted in ransacked too. Everybody else is wearing rags and dirty hair. Make sure you are wearing rags and have dirty hair too. Wear loose fitting clothing so they can't see that you're not getting really skinny like everybody else is. You're going to be running that generator if nobody else has got a generator. Get real. You're going to be able to go anywhere if there's no gasoline to be found. You're going to be gangbaked. Get real. There's a lot of things you might not have thought through that I have thought through have been doing this for decades of learning how to potentially survive this. But at the same time, no, this may never happen. Well, I would say never. It will have the grid. The EMP will hit the grid, a solar flare. To some degree or another, they probably will take it down at some point in time. Might be in one minute, might be in 1,000 years. I don't know. 1,000 years we probably won't have the grid as we have it now, of course. But we don't know what has happened, but it's kind of a mathematical certainty that we will hit by a solar flare big enough to take down our present technology of what we call a grid. And maybe it take a lot of computers, chips out to boot and whatever. But learning to live in China and talking about the grid again, China has been selling us. We know one for sure. I'd have to look up, see if there was more found. The, I can't remember what. Branch of the government decided to send in a transformer that came in from China in for a forensic investigation They found that malware was planted in the transformer So China can shut off our grid by shutting off various transforms. They sold us over the years. I just from a computer in China Maybe have well malware where it can't be recovered was destroyed It takes a year to rebuild those things in good conditions and normal conditions with electricity available Doing with candles is going to take a lot longer So that's you talk about your national security right there it is China sending us Transformers with malware in them. Why you got computers in the first place? We didn't have to have computers in our Transformers take the damn things up Take the damn wires out of your computers out of your car. Take the damn wires out of Chip shortage. We're at the mercy of Taiwan. You know if China invades Taiwan how desperately bad this economy is gonna collapse if Taiwan can't supply us with chips anymore They're the world leading supplier in ships for us. And that's why the Biden misjudged. That's a good move they did actually where Congress and they're talking about making giving incentives to make more chips in this country. That's a probably good move. But better move if you get it right. Get rid of the damn chips. Hey, I'm an old lady. All right, everybody, thank you for opening. I am the frag with the hosting for good knowledge. And we'll go on to Kentucky, North Carolina. It's not a show. I hope you guys today are following on and tell everybody for listening. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoke vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? evening intelligence report timer car key one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters and behind the lines and occupied territories northwest northeast south ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com libertytreeradio.org And we're on satellite. We're sat at all of the Maroos along with many many many other people who are listening across all of the oceans of the planet. We appreciate you guys bouncing the signal the way that you do. And we're also at a myriad of communications communications technologies. Oh my goodness. Again a myriad. Both inside and outside these United States. It is, well it's the 27th of July. No way. Yes way it is the 21st. 7th of July. It is the, well, it's Weapons Wednesday, 14th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with the K 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of sorts. Let the dance continue and it certainly will. We'll make sure that happens. The assault weapons ban. It's Weapons Wednesday. And we can't emphasize enough guns and gadgets. Most every pro-firearm channel out there on YouTube, also on Bitchute, has done a piece on the present construction, the way it's set up right now and how it's moving through the House. Needless to say, onto the Senate is really what's gonna happen. I guess the question is this, you're all gonna go along with this BS? Well, you better start, you know, this this is where well, we've we've run up to the wall in this before and of course we were told that no anti-gun stuff was gonna pass and don't worry 26 months down the road 26 months that supposedly everything will be right as rain because trumpet will be coming back and Blah blah blah blah blah difference will that make Seriously, okay. We had four years of Donald Trump with the first two of the Republicans having the House and the Senate and not having a clue what to do. In fact, they did everything in their power through the, you know, not, you know, never Trump or whatever BS that they were flapping their yap about. In reality, they were told by the ring knock and spit swapping trash to make sure that the leftist agenda, at the very least, just idled for, you know, what, two years while they burned the country down, okay, started rioting and burning the country down. Then of course after the midterm scam, which they always play with the fake left and the fake right, all of a sudden, well, you know, we couldn't do anything. We had two years, 24 months, we had the majority, but we just didn't know how to do that. And now, well, you just got to ride through, you know, to the next, you know, two years, and then maybe, maybe we can do something then. So in the meantime, The Republicans just betrayed us every way they possibly could and the president that they had that was a Republican. Okay. So what is the worst is juju witch doctor stuff coming from thinking that there's going to be some big change with this 26 month down the road project, even though in the meantime, we got all kinds of the problems now as it is the I mean, Think about how they always do this. Well guys, now don't get upset, because you know next week Hillary's going to be arrested. So there's no sense in going out and getting rid of Hillary, because Hillary's going to be there any minute now. This is it. Hillary's going to be arrested any minute. In fact, QAnon and all what other groups we have, how many different, you know, they're on the inside and boy Hillary's on for. Was that five years ago or four years ago? three years ago and last year playing the same thing now well you know the demicons are gonna pass the ban and if we just wait don't do anything let it settle in go ahead and let them pass the ban the high you know the senators are gonna betray us you know they're gonna be offered each one's gonna be offered instead of like with the Muslims were they get 72 virgins if they you know commit ritual supeku by doing a suicide charge, they get six, seven, or nine, or 10 eight-year-old little boys to rape. If they'll betray the American people, it'll be provided by the powers that be. So they're getting promised three, four little eight-year-old girls, eight little eight-year-old boys, whatever it's gonna be. I'm gonna say go along and show their rhino colors, in other words red and yellow. Since in, we're all just supposed to frothing at the mouth. Crazy Town Police State just have its way for, well, 26 months, cuz in 26 months, will Donald Trump will be there. 26 months, if you just sit on your hands and let the police state entrench itself. Start raping, killing, pillaging, and burning Americans. If we just let them do that for 26 months, then all of a sudden, everything will just change. That didn't happen the last time Donald Trump was in so why do you believe that something different is gonna happen this time around with Donald Trump in the people that did everything they could to burn down the country every for the whole of every year four years solid Wally Donald Trump was in place How much damage they do to the country and how much they do to bollocks up the machine how many blackmailers? Did their you know their darned us to make sure that the blackmail stuck and everybody sat on their hands with Donald Trump in office. 26 months year, 26 months, two years worth of tyranny. What would that be like? Well, let's think about this. When George Herbert Walker Bush plugged in a program, part of the attack on personal firearms owners and FFLs and manufacturers included making an example of as many people, no matter how remote they are, and as needed murdering people in their homes. That's where the, well that's right, wait a minute. The Randy Weaver attack, the attack on the weavers by the bat faggots and the marshals, don't forget those swine were involved. And also the FBI was when George Herbert Walker Bush was in charge. The attack on the weavers and the siege and the murder of a mother with her child in arm. was at the behest and order of the Bush regime and the next step would have been to ante up to a bigger occult attack which was Waco. Now Bush didn't get to play that off but he planned it. He also planned on being the one to give the order as a republic rat to go after and push for an even bigger anti-gun event which would have followed up with the big gun man. The difference is They switched to the Arkansas Mafia and they still did everything exactly the same way. NAFTA and GATT, the attack on the Branch Davidias, which have been planned for a year. That's part of the orchestration and progressive buildup towards the big offensive against American gun owners by the globalists. Be they the Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton types or the George Herbert Walker Bush types. So you're telling me that we just let this ride? Anybody? What do you think? You know, what's your opinion on this? Because I can't see us coming out of that one. We're supposed to... Oh, I guess, wait a minute. Here's how... This is what some idiots are gonna do. Well, you know, if we just let them do what they're gonna do and demand the guns... In 26 months, you know, Donald Trump will come in and they'll change everything. They'll get other legislation passed. You mean like the four years and all the work that the Republicans did when they had the House and the Senate for the first two years and then had Trump for four years? Totally mean that kind of work? Is that what you're counting on? With Donald Trump in office, is that what everybody thinks? Wishing one hand, defecating the other and see which one gets full first. So, there are fools who are actually going to start mouthing this. Well, you know, if it passes, oh, we just got to wait. Don't do anything drastic because we just, we can do it with the, what, fake collection? It sounds really stupid, doesn't it? Really sounds stupid. We'll see what happens because progressively, of course, they're moving forward with the rest of this dribble. And again, don't say that the Senate can't, it can't be passed in the Senate. You got a bunch of these characters being promised all kinds of little pervert play toys. They're going to be giving them little boys and little girls to rape. I'm sure they're going to be giving them all kinds of cash. Coach or Mafia will be using all their blackmail tools and all of his little pedos to begin with for the first batch of kids they gave them, or the second or third wave. And so that's going to be part of this agenda, part of this game, one way or another. So, this is why organizing, arming, equipping, and training as militia is so very, very important as part of our, it's not a, oh, last minute catch thing, because, oh wow, it looks like things are going to get bad after all. Maybe I should organize now. No. You need to be very, very meticulously cherry picking and developing the people that you're going to be working with for a task that is going to be quite serious and the adults are going to win. That's us. Okay? So organizing army equipping and training is especially critical along with, again, the 510 program in your area of operation. Everyone, when I was doing the, before I started the program here, I did two more medical barrels. I also have been sorting out heavy baggage, including backpacks and other equipment that I picked up that are auxiliary, but top of the line, I've been getting a lot of Swiss gear recently for free. It doesn't cost anything. baggage, shoulder bags, utility bags, backpacks, you name it. And what I did is actually filled an entire barrel up with nothing but Swiss gear. Okay, just with all the stuff I've accumulated. In fact, I got another half of a rear end of a pickup truck and suburban, I got a bag up tonight after we're done with the program to finish it. I've got everything ready to go, all I could do is get in the package. Logistics is the key to victory and understanding why it is every time you can when you got a paycheck put something towards the tactical support base that we need to develop and that needs to be in the hand where we don't have to sign it out. We don't have to ask for it. We don't have to write up a supply slip for it. It's already out where it needs to be with the troops. That's the advantage of militia. We are not, you know, our equipment is not locked behind a, you know, triple lock door that the communists control. Our equipment is at hand. Our tactical gear and the ability to fight is perfected individually to the best of our potential. And one of the advantages we get to pick and choose what works best for our needs. We are not limited by a system. In fact, we are unlimited in terms of what we're able to and capable of employing and deploying in the event we have to fight. One of the big advantages there, some of you guys got a hell of a lot bigger and a hell of a lot better than anything the government's carrying. And I know that everybody's talking about, for instance, well, the gun ban is going to do all of these semi-automatic weapons of every and any kind you can imagine. By the way, the way the thing is written... I don't know why, but it seems like, you know, they're really focusing on the ARs as far as what they're commenting on. But remember, any weapon that has a military counterpart that has select fire, well, guys, if you have an M1A, your gun's on the list. If you have an FN FAL of any pattern, your gun's on the ban list. If you have an AR, well, actually, the AR-10, because the original AR-10 was the, you know, armillite rifle, in the military configuration, which by the way, the first model that I've told you many times, the Philippine model, the Dutch slash colonial rifle, is the mother of all of your AR-10s in terms of an actual service rifle. Interestingly enough, even your Grand, it can be engineered under this arbitrary act. Everybody goes, what? We never made any automatic Grand's, really? You never did look at Beretta very closely, did you? And not just talking the BM-59, the Garand, in order to get to the BM-59, Beretta made a number of magazine fed and select fire 30-06 rifles before they got to the 7.62x51 NATO. So yeah, they'll weedle in the Garand without any problem at all because they're going to go right across just like they did way back when they did the first of the California gun bans back in the 90s. And everybody goes, well, they took off a whole bunch and there's only 16 guns that are gonna be stolen. Look what we did for you. Yeah, but the way they wrote the law is the way they've written this law. And so immediately the Attorney General, the moment that they passed it because they had an arbitrary list, put all the guns back on the list to be banned. that had been taken off in the quote-unquote yuck yuck yuck negotiations between the Idiot Stick NRA and the California, was it, California Gun Owners Association? The two Idiot Stick operations, we made a deal! We're only gonna screw some of you gun owners, but we get to keep our stuff, or you get to keep your stuff if you're those other guys, and the moment that they got it passed, every weapon that they took off the list they put back on and they added even more. Historical fact, okay? So yes, our G3s, the HK PTR-91 is on the list, obviously. It has an obvious military counterpart. I mentioned that the G3. And there are many other weapons, too numerous. I mean, just to go right down the list, everything and anything that's out there, this is an arbitrary and capricious mechanism with total flexibility to be able to attach every weapon that they can interpret. If anybody does any historical work at all, most every weapon out there, I mean, hell, let me put it this way. Your Springfield qualifies. Your 1903 Springfield qualifies. Why? Whoa, that's not possible. Not the 1903 Springfield. It's a bolt-action rifle. Ah, yes. But you might recall they made those Mark I receivers for the Peterson device. And the Peterson device was a drop-in 30-caliber pistol cartridge, stick magazine, semi- and full-auto option. The Peterson device. No way. I actually had two of those receivers, and by God, I never should have sold them. I hadn't... completed rifles. One was sporterized, the other was original. The Peterson device would drop right in. The only thing that it had was an ejection port cut into the side of the, where the bolt left side, where the, of the receiver. It was a little ejection port for the brass, so that when you put the Peterson device in, the stick set came up down from above, like on a brand, but slightly off on an angle. And the ejection port was built into the left side. of the middle of the receiver, back halfway to the rear station of the bolt. And it's interesting that that would qualify all Springfield's as, again, weapons of war, potential weapons of war, have been used as a weapon of war, which by the way is why we're supposed to have them under Article II of the Bill of Rights, because they are weapons of war, and that is what militia is supposed to have. And the idea, founding fathers are here right now, they just shot the bastards already. Wouldn't have thought twice about it. In fact, for what they're proposing, a whole bunch of these people already had their ass dragged out and executed. And everybody knows. We desperately had to dig, grovel to get weapons to be able to outfit enough people during the American War for Independence. We constantly were scraping the bargain basement barrels of Europe for anything and everything that we could find and trying to get it back into the colony slash these United States so that we can outfit an army and constant attrition, battlefield losses, supply line losses. Just, you know, guys, I've read many times on the air the amount of material and equipment shovels, shovels were especially critical. 10,000 shovels or 20,000 shovels either captured or burned. Now the shovel head would still be there, but if it had any temper, that was going to be gone. And shovels were the critical tool. There were no D12 bulldozers back then. If you see any fortifications or anything, they were done with shovels. But rifles, powder, shot, all of that, we went out in the bargain basement world. We didn't go out first line. We got, Steve, when we got equipment from the French, we didn't get first-line French equipment. We got the bargain basement second-line equipment. Or, well, we've been thinking about re-smelting these and testing something new, but yeah, we will give these to the American. And so they did. And the old marsh question again is, well, how far, how much of this BS are we gonna put up with? If they decide to implement this, we have to, we're at war. It's just all there is to it. Now, the big thing is that you have the ring knockers pretty well told everybody no matter what this is going to happen. That's what we need to be watching for is in the enemy camps, they are going to start preaching and teaching about the agenda. So we need to be watching for, again, you have relatives that are police or with any department or agencies. They're already being given the heads up the wink the nod or the elbow rub Oh, you know that elbow rub because they're a bunch of faggots and don't know how to handshake That hey, this is coming and you know you guys you need to be in the know because you're getting ready for the big big UN slash, you know globalist gun push and that's really what this is about so Keep your ear to the rail. Just don't get rid of them by the train. You wouldn't if you were in Arkansas because they knock you out, leave your head on the rail and, you know, well first they'll probably kill you. Then leave your head on the rail and claim that you died by being run over with a train. But keep your ear to the rail or the wire because you're going to start to hear the type of rhetoric that is designed to pump up the secret police for the big wave. Some of that's already going on. in other places needless to say even though everybody goes, well they're trying to defund the cops. Well no, they're taking and redirecting the agenda. And just like everything else that has to do with hating on Americans who have been born here, lived here, paid taxes all their lives, they're now the perceived enemy by all of these foreign turds. Well, the same is gonna be true. The agenda will carry through on the anti-gun garbage that they're trying to plug in. Another thing very quickly on this is, as we've said before, perishables. Bullets, primer, powder, anything that you can do in that category, anything that you can can and stash, be a good idea. But needless to say, ammunition is the first choice. You gotta have the component. And you're gonna need enough of the ready to roll technology. So, catch us, catch Ken. I know I've had a lot of people asking about .38. It's Weapons Wednesday. I have been looking hard for any kind of deal on 38 Special and there isn't any. There's, in fact, I'll tell you what, even just for something as simple as a 148 grain factory wadcutter, I think the only place you're going to really find that is at a gun shop, at the final user, and for any good price, if it's being made locally or within the state somewhere. Other than that, if you've got a .38 or .357, first of all, by God, you better not have been getting rid of any of your brass. But that's true of all of the ammunition you're shooting out there. If somebody else is stupid enough to leave it behind, you're smart enough to pick it up, no matter what it is. Remember, you can trade that 45 brass and 9mm brass to a reloader and get credit towards that .38 special that you needed for the gun that you've got. Like a .357 Magnum, depending on what you're doing. The reason I mention 148 grain wadcutter is because it is still the most useful for all of your wheel guns for basic training, minimizing cost, maximizing performance. Okay? But that's not the only round that's out there. Another thing I notice, I get a lot of questions about 40 caliber. I didn't answer. I did answer some of the emails last couple of days. So you guys should, if you pay attention, your emails were responded to, even though some of them are a week old. Sorry about that. Takes time for me to catch up. 40 caliber is not obsolete. 40 caliber is out there just as heavy as it's been. But the biggest problem is whatever 40 caliber production is out there, as we know, has probably been picked up by the cop shops or the secret police or one other bureaucracy or another where 40 caliber applies. So again, I'd emphasize on ball ammunition, don't forget the silly billet slash SMB, also Fiocchi, if there's any that you see. I've seen very little of that coming in right now in any good quantity. They do make 40 caliber for a pretty good price if it's available. So otherwise it's going to be American or an offshoot Turkish ammo because there is some Turkish. Again of the same quality as the 9mm ball ammo we've been seeing. All of it's going to work and again the idea is to be able to stack it and rack it when the time comes. As long as it's all consistent in performance to within what is standard spec for combat pistol you're doing fine. Some people I know that loaded, they don't care what bullet they're using them in pattern guns anyway. One of our guys still buys when it's available the seconds from Hornady and he doesn't care when it says 9 millimeter in the bucket. It all gets loaded into 9 millimeter Parabellum and he doesn't even worry. He has a baseline powder charge. No matter what weight bullets in that bucket, if it's ball. It's all getting loaded and all getting put into bags and it's designed for like the 9 millimeter carbines Which you want a little bit of a cone of destruction anyway, so you're looking at what slightly heavy bullets like bullets Different conical shapes or standard round round nose slash or you know tapered and all of it goes in the same it goes to the same reloading machine at the same time with the powder in the primer and 6,000, 7,000 rounds in a night. And sometimes he sorts, but most of the time he doesn't. So they said it's nine millimeter, it's all in a five gallon pail, whatever's in there, should go right into the dye, set seat properly and away you go. And so he's just cranking out. And I wouldn't necessarily do it that way, but I understand what he's doing and why. And amazingly enough, we fired a bunch of the stuff that he's put together and the groups are more than reasonable at 50 yards. For what it's supposed to do especially with the shoulder fired rifle now, I wouldn't do it that way myself, but hey, I told you before First of all, is he doing what he's supposed to do? Yep. Yes. He is his money Yeah, has he come up with a solution? Yep, and is he applying the solution? Absolutely. So he's doing his job Tell you what we're gonna do. Let's see if we can get it this time if you're listening For everybody out there, it's the bottom of the hour. It's Weapons Wednesday. And on weapons, here we go. Why can't you hear the red ghost? What mind you madness builds in our valleys? There is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, hey, not the singing of the bugle 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 trifle. You may ride a good lead speed, you may no stern a master Your forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back switch faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader, you're a star Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle Maggie no graves at home, back across the briny water And Giddy must come, like Swellots to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Lyndon's figure hold a buck through, 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 They're all of the same, you know, they all are literally cookie cutter, one of the other, that they're being groomed, they're being built by impulating lines that they can snag, and then sending them out on the task, and of course pumping them up in the process to get them there, where they're applicable, you know, they can apply them, and then of course they're very limited to where they can actually be successful anymore, and even places where they supposedly have had limitations, like the food court shoot. It's interesting that that's not working and people have already been thinking ahead now what I told you before What this means is that the enemy is going to have to start sacrificing within its own camp and that means switching from the public venue to far more restricted venues, but still strangely and miraculously enough these pros-act shooters able to access and gain you know gain an opportunity in what is perceived by everybody to be an impossible environment. That's coming. That has to, because the only way that they're going to be able to work any of this anymore, especially with the last incident being given as much notoriety, now people thinking it through that, well, yeah, I can do a 40-yard shot. Let's see. I think I can. Something I've argued for the longest time, if you listen to me for as long as I've been on the air, you take a handgun out as far as you possibly can. And after all, you're supposed to have fun at the range, but we have serious fun. See exactly how far you can reach with the handguns that you have. And I don't care how big or small they are, it's fascinating to see, can I mentally calculate point of impact without optics? In other words, I should be able to anyway. Of course, it used to be called Kentucky windage. But it is part of the natural shooting process with regard to the most sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet, your brain, which is what all artificial intelligence is trying to copy. So if the artificial intelligence can do it, then you have many times much more capacity for the ability to take that weapon out to whatever distance and to be able to adjust and compensate for range and for even wind, et cetera. Usually, there's a consideration with pistols, but it works people. And if you work, work at it, you practice at it, be amazed. Reach farther, get farther. Go ahead, call her and jump in there. Hey Will from Florida here. I was just calling to let you know I'm now the proud owner of a clone of a G3. I found somebody on a trading site that was getting rid of their sent me. and two mags, no, three magazines and a double mag pouch, thousand bucks. So I got that, let me start getting ammo for it. Also, price, as far as I know still, may still be for set B, 762 by 51 NATO mags is over at Aimsurplus.com. Aimsurplus.com, if you need more mags. Now, Centerfire has had them too, but I don't know what their inventory looks like. Everybody has some of the sentiny mags in 7.62x51 NATO. Now when you go to AIM, they have the 5.56 AR-15 sentiny mags also, so that's not what you want. You got the 7.62 NATO, right? 308? Yes, I believe it's a 308. It's a sentiny. Excellent. Yeah, well, again, the big thing here is you got the right idea, grab more mag pouches. Take your pick for the moment just to get more. Remember, if you get the double slab mag side by side German pouches, one of the things you can do with those is make a, you know, grab a utility combat belt, one of the German ones, and you can make a bandolier using those mag pouches. In addition to your web gear and your tactical gear, that's another way to carry more of the magazines. And it's a ready-made system. People can go say we could use double mag pouches, but you don't need to. And again, you can also make up multiple bags that way or multiple bandoliers that way for those mag pouches. They're either in rubber or they're in striated nylon with a vinyl finish on the outside, OD green. And they're good mag pouches. In fact, I'll tell you what, if you want to get a quantity cheap Now you might check other places. Everybody has a good price on these because they've always been relatively cheap, reasonably priced. But I think if you go to Sportsman's Guide, punch in German Surplus, and go through and watch for the mag pouches, the G3, HK91, also the Centny mags will work with those. Double mag pouches, they got a bundle of them for a really good price. So that would be an option. As far as the mags go, again, AIM surplus would be first. And then Centerfire is another one you might check, CenterfireSystems.com. And as a matter of fact, when you go over to AIM, they also have spare parts. That's what they are, they're a parts company. So, or forgive me, I said AIM, God, slight mark in the microphone. Apex, God, if you go to AIM too, they should have some cool stuff, but not necessarily everything you need. ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com Look to see what they have over there. They may be sold out for a bit because the sentinies have been catching up with the PTRs because there have been a number of new builds. So that's a good thing. Are there any parts that would be a priority to replace rather than just have on hand like higher quality parts? If it's sent me their factory. There's no aftermarket. So set me the big thing is again if you can a whole bowl But firing pin extractor and ejector obviously The big thing is all small springs same as with an AR 15 The big thing with the is you probably just get the whole bowl For the set me if you look around piece the price on it now in that respect if you want to look for parts Apex is obviously good check Go over to GunPartsCorp.com and then go first into their clearance slash deals section. It's up in the top. You'll notice there's a line there. It's a bunch of different subjects. You want to go over into the clearance and closeouts. They always change that. Don't know what their criteria is, but there were some set me items there and they might even have some set me mags for a pretty good price. in their markdown for the moment because they do put those up on sale once in a while. That's over at gunpartscorp.com. And then last but not the least or last, but also Royal Tiger imports. I know a lot of people don't like them, but Royal Tiger imports, check their pouches out and also check the rest of their equipment out. See what they have right now in stock. It's not a very big page, but you know, it's worth going through. You never know what you're going to run into. A lot of the Cetney and HK91 parts come from Sturm and magazines the same way. Mostly the G3 mags, but they've even had Cetney mags that came through Sturm. Royal Tiger Imports carries almost everything that Sturm has. So that's why RoyalTigerimports.com is a good choice. Mark if he's gonna put glass if he's gonna put glass on that those stannag mounts will work for those settings as well, right? It depends again the newer ones they're supposed to have actually accommodated for that but guess what? Question does it have a rail on the top? That was that question I was gonna ask I Haven't had a look at it yet. I'm driving Okay, well on the top you may have a rail And if it does, that's your scope mount, night vision mount, whatever you're gonna do with it. The iron sights are with the weapon initially, so you don't have to worry right away. But if you're gonna put any other optics on the top of the gun, the stainag are still, actually there's a stainag model that is aftermarket, and I, and you know what, they might have it at gun parts court, but I believe, CDN and Sports was one of the companies that did have those in stock. CDN and Sports and what it is, it's a Stenag rail system with a clause and it has the, they have it both ways. I don't think they have any of the German scopes on it right now in stock, if any, probably none. But there's this aftermarket model that does have the rail system, a standard Picatinny rail on the top, so you can mount any optics there you want to. And that's a good way to go. So that's it right now. We'll have to wait till you take a look at the gun. You can figure out what you need. I was going to ask military surplus parts compatible with set knees. Well, yep. Okay. There are there's holes that me inventories. That's what I just said you can go to right now. They might have in stock still. If you go over to Apex gun parts.com, they have sent me 7.62x39 standard set me rifle kits now they're minimal because you know and they're so you can actually get a complete kit with all the spares I was just trying to make sure the part interchangeable Most of the okay. Here's the other thing most not every part but most parts on the set me will interchange with the PTR slash the G3 rifle Okay, so there that's what's interesting about it. There's a couple of really great videos One was done by an armorer back in the early 90s. And he literally just laid part for part down and did a comparative study and he explained where the differences are. And again, they're not that great to the point where having an inventory of CEPI rifles mixed in with say PTR 91s or G3s or HK91s would not be that big a deal. However, the thing is, there's lots of set me kits. Now there's a set me 5.56, that's not what you want. You want the 7.62x51 NATO original set me. And the only reason I'm qualifying that is because somebody finally built receivers for those kits, the 5.56 kits. And even the rifles are out there for about $14, $1,500 apiece, which is pricey for a 5.56, but they're a well-made gun. Now, the 7.62... Go ahead. The Sentinies are chambered in .308, right? Yeah, 7.62 by 51 NATO. Yeah, they're .308, 7.62 by 51 NATO, yes. And... I know some of the 7.62 rifles aren't strong enough to hold .308, or so they say. These weapons have no problem with any ammunition that you have to throw into them from the factory right now. The sent me guns are as tough as they get and in fact, you got to remember they were built for a situation where they assumed ammunition consistency was going to be an issue. That's the one thing about German weapons systems technology. They had already seen two major wars of ammunition, you know, variants. What could happen? What can malfunction? What works? What doesn't? They learned it actually almost all of their lessons in World War I, not World War II, World War I. And one of the things about the set-me is the ones that they're presently building is they've, in fact, I don't think there's anybody who's been doing this now. When the set-me's first came out, the magazine well was slightly tighter, so on the one hand, you could use... sent me mags but you had a problem with PTR-91 mags, okay? Or the HK mags, the G3 mags. The receiver groups that are presently being bent have been allowed enough that pretty much the sent me or the G3 mags will fit in pretty much each of the guns. So in theory, you have to test it to see because I don't know how old that weapon is that you've got. But if it's I think two of the magazines he gave me were military surf watch. I'm assuming if he gave it with me with the weapon, they probably were. Well, if they're milled, that's the thing. The Sentiny is a Spanish military rifle. So all of the magazines that are made are military. If they're Sentiny mags, they're military. If they're G3 mags, they're military. All of them are. The Sentiny was A, it is the mother of the G3. Germany had to figure out how to build guns after, just like after World War I with the armistice. After World War II, Spain was neutral. Germany had extensive contact with them. So basically all their R&D was being done in foreign countries and Spain is where they did it. And so initially, Spain got the benefit of the development of this rifle and built it as the CETME, but when they got all the production and everything up, that also gave the Germans the ability to evaluate manufacturing processes and adjust accordingly. So when their G3 came out, they already had the CETME program in play to figure out what to do, what went right, what went wrong. There was very little went wrong, but they could tweak it and that's what they did. That's how the G3 came about. Go ahead. Go ahead, caller. Yeah, yeah, the G3 aluminum bags Every one of them I've seen has been dated also I believe they're repairable if they get damaged too badly, but They're they're all military and they're definitely lighter in weight than the set me steel mags Out. debris or whatever on the battlefield. And so the material, the magazine is self-cleaning and those little trails that you see that are in the sides of the magazine, much like the AR-10s, the originals, which were the waffle pattern, the waffle pattern was supposed to do the same thing, both on the AR-10 and the AR-15 in the original magazine design. The difference is that they went with a bunch of horizontal slots and that created other issues on the G3s the way that they they accommodated the again self-cleaning process the they were very careful about how they Constructed the side panel so that it didn't have any kind of lock or slippage or place for something to build up See if it's a straight line up down The magazine follower scrapes that channel in the process or pushes the material off into the excess base that's available with the way that the pressed magazine hull is built. The setnees are again, like I said, they're slightly heavier, they're all steel. I don't think there was ever an alloy magnate made for the setneet, but again, remember, your setnee may be able to handle G3 magazines. quite easily without any problem don't modify it there's no reason to because there's tons of the magazines out there no matter which direction you go so you've got it gets a good rifle there's nothing wrong with I carry one the the big issue is again what year you'll find that out and another thing is cleaning kits everything that's out there in surplus for the HK 91 G3 is gonna work on the CETME. So all of your additional surplus you might find reasonably priced, it's all gonna work for that gun. In fact, since it's a 7.62x51 NATO, right now there's a big pile of the solid, really girthy, 30 caliber Swiss cleaning kits out there. And guys, if you want to invest about $10 or less, depending on who's selling them, Those are an excellent cleaning kit. Today, if they were to build those, I guarantee you get jacked for about $60, $70. At least. In fact, nobody builds to that level because it's Swiss made, okay? But there are a bunch of those. It's the latest batch that came out of the render revolution market. And if you got the CETME or the M1A or any of the other .30 caliber rifles, it's a good cleaning kit to have in the inventory. just a little bulky. It's not a small clean kit, but it actually is well built. It'll last as long as you live, probably, and then some. And if you want to buy an extra one, you can hand it down to the grandkids. When you pass the rifles on to the next family of warriors that are going to be replacing us. Again, good choice. But again, ApexGunParts.com, you'll find complete 7.62x51 NATO sent me kits there. I know that Centerfire had some, but I don't know if they have them. And then also GunPartsCorp.com. Now another place for mag pouches, as I mentioned earlier, SARCO is doing Rhodesian everything. If you want Rhodesian everything, including the web gear, SARCO is doing for the FNFAL, that means that the The Cetney mags and the G3 mags and the M14 mags should fit in all the pouches because they're generous as far as the way they were built. But there's a number of different row kits and other pattern of kit over at Sarco. I don't know what they have for the moment because it changes constantly and Sarco has a vast inventory. But they're definitely somebody to keep an eye on. Every once in a while they got some really good deals and then some. So that's definitely a good choice there. The Cetney Banette is available, actually I'll tell you what, I don't know if they have any left in stock, but the Cetney Banettes were available over at BudK.com. BudK.com for the Banette. If not, if you search around, even Apex might have them, but they might be a little pricey if they're nicer condition. I'm just looking for field grade and Bud K did have a couple of different banettes, or actual military service, and one of them was the Cetney Banette for the 7.62x51 NATO gun. So definitely something worth picking up also. If you got the gun, try to make sure you got the rest of the accoutrements. Anyway, go ahead. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. I think it's worth noting, if you have a Spanish Mauser, from the transition period between the bolt-action Mausers and the sentinies, some of those actually would accommodate the sentinied bayonets. Oh yeah, yeah, they were what they were, National Guard Rifles. It was a complete program where they took the 7mm M19-16s and converted them over to, what is it, FR-6s, FR-7s. And those rifles are, those were a deal when they came in. They were built, they were rechambered and rebarreled in 7.60x51 NATO. And what's funny is the whole front end looks like a Cetmi or a G3. And what they did is they took the existing inventory of 7mm Mauser car beams that they had. And it was a modification program so that anybody using these as Guardian National rifles. They modified the sights so that the sight fixture was the same. They would take, like you said, the bayonet and also the oiler and all the other cool stuff. But otherwise they were a bolt-action, pre-98 Mauser, which is really kind of interesting. And if you've got one, guys, don't get rid of it. Not many people. You don't see anybody coming off those. There were a bunch of those that came in all at once as surplus from the render revolution market and I tried to get everybody to scarf them up because they were they were $57 apiece when they first came in and they started up around 175 Then they went to 119 whatever they stayed there about $120 for a while and that still was a good price for a 7.62 NATO gun that was nicely modified So thanks for reminding us. Yes, that's a good example. And the cool thing is, is that if you do have the, uh, that rifle, then remember those bandits fit. Now you might run into before I forget, I mentioned Pakistan. Pakistan made all the G3 accoutrements because they made G3 rifles. And there has been a flurry on and off of the very used Pakistani, uh, HK, uh, G3, right. And G3 bandits. I've run into them for as little as $10 apiece, and that's sometimes even with a scabbard. But you gotta watch and be careful. Usually look in the miscellaneous section. Now, I'm gonna tell you they're used. Okay, the Pachy's are like the Korean's. They believe in using their bad end. They trained heavily with the bayonet and because of that they sharpened and sharpened and sharpened and so like the last G3 I got I would say a quarter of the blade was honed down. It was gone. Still a good bayonet, still a good blade. Okay, it was well good steel but heavily, heavily sharpened and re-sharpened and honed and re-sharpened, etc, etc. Plus your Bennett is a working tool. Don't forget that which is why when you run into use once the Korean Grand and carbine Bennett's that came in back when bluebird was was the company importing all those rifles they Re-parkurized everything matter how tired it was and they also did the same with very very used Bennett's just like what I just described But they were good and for eight dollars apiece couldn't beat him. Go ahead color jump in there That found on I think it was sportsman's guide you can get like five E3 cleaning kits for essentially like a dollar or two dollars apiece and In a flat case and ahead the chain style Kind of like a boar snake that you put whatever brush or whatever you want on it And it came with a little oiler and a little brush. But anyway, yeah, stupid cheap. There's no reason not to get them. And it's not, you know, you don't have to use it on only a G3 or a copy. You can use that on any 308. Yep. Yeah, and if they still have them, it's sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com. That's an excellent choice too. And again, you can afford to have a bunch of them on the shelf. Remember, the cleaning kit is supposed to wear out, not the rifle. which is cheaper. The cleaning kits are cheaper. So the cleaning kits were designed to be made of malleable material that would wear, but it would eventually wear. Obviously, no matter what you do when you interact with the barrel, you're going to have some wear. But the cleaning kits and the way they're designed is so that they fail rather than the barrel. And so that's a good price. First of all, if you still get them for a dollar a piece, that's very reasonable. One last place to look, because we are at the top, jgsales.com, jgsales.com. Go into their miscellaneous section and go into their surplus. I haven't looked in the last week or two, but he had a bunch of US military stuff, remember, that came in? He also has other items for the G3, HK, and slash, Also, for the AK still, but it's a mix and he runs stuff down until it's gone and he finds other things to put in place. So he has been consistently re-inventoring stuff. And there's old cleaning kits or something he usually carries a few of in one pattern or another. Just got to look to see what's there right now. JgSales.com. JgSales.com. Anyway, upgrade.
