Bible sworn law enforcement officers investigators or prosecutors What this is telling you point blank is that the ATF is trying to train up? The locals and state police so that they can do their bidding for them. Remember they're going to be able to just wave their wand and debutize all these cops to be basically acting as ETF agents. And this is where it begins right here, training them on all the tomfoolery in Chicaneree. of the made up rules in violation of the United States Constitution, the same Constitution that the ATF, all of their trainers teaching this, and all the people sitting in the seats learning this, are supposed to uphold and defend. And they're going to sit there and they're going to take this class in and learn how to violate people's rights. I wanted to get this out as this class is coming up and people are going to start talking about this. And if you know some people who are going to be taking this class, you should probably tell them not to take the class and that there's nothing illegal going on about making your own firearm because people have been doing it in this country since day one of the United States of America. Since day one of the first colonial settlement. It has never been illegal. It's almost like... the anti gunners figured this out somewhere along the line a couple years ago and said, well, we got to ban this stuff. We go. We got to stop this somehow. It's just insane.

Take care figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land 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. Invist the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. Number, you trade it 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 watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, northeast, south, southwest. Gentlemen, you were listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Libertytreeradio.org and we are on satellite. You must say hi to all our merchant marine out there, no matter where you are, whatever ocean. We're on every ocean on the planet and inland. via satellite repeat uplink, downlink and more. So if you guys appreciate the fact you're doing it, we're not. It's a complete volunteer operation. It's getting bigger by the day, by what I understand. I want to say thank you to Mr. LaRoy and many of the others during their part. Also, we're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States, to include UltraNet Hallmark and Golden Spike Technologies. that are free and independent of the internet as it's known and gradually built step by step, brick by brick, without the internet and it travels in two different worlds where the non-spy net, no CIA, no Mossad crap, nothing attached to it. You can use any piece of equipment you've got no matter how old and it's like you're really in the space age again as opposed to the tripe and the spyware and the built-up feces that make up the conventional internet, which day by day becomes more repugnant and a failed system across the board. Anyway, it is 14th of September. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian the Socialist and Soviet. is occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar. Given all she has got, Captain 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. We're gonna make sure the dance continues. So anyway, let me grab that cup of coffee here real quick versus smell taste. beautiful weapons Wednesday by the way it's been a perfect day outside got a lot of painting done tactical camo too yeah whatever nice thing about what you do paint you paint it you walk away come back when it's dry do some more but you know get other stuff done and you know in between actually the painting is the in-between part so I can't emphasize enough get a coat of paint on everything and anything you're gonna be using in the field and make sure it matches up for your environment. But most important is that protective coat and coating, no matter what it is, even old weapons you have. Spree paint works just fine. Everybody goes, what? Guys, the British Army, the number four mark went infield. Hell, some of them I've owned have had 14, 15 coats of lead-based paint. Some SMLE's got painted too, depending on where they're from. India's adopted the paint. quite some time ago, one jungle carby, number five I had was a built, not a factory, was built in the field, probably by the British Army. Had green, brown, two layers of black, and then layer of green, and then layer of brown. I shouldn't have, I should have stopped at a certain point because it got kind of modeled, which actually was, well, like a camouflage accidentally made by the British. But the infields, a lot of them are painted. They work just fine, it's heard for however many decades. And in a repair situation in the field, makes more sense just to some Krylon, rather than try to do any fancy blueing or park rising or anything like that. Besides, it tactifies and camouflages the weapon, and it's a work tool. Remember, it's not trying to meet any purification awards, it's a work tool. So your weapons aren't any different there. Go ahead and call her, who do we have? that sort of thing. Just on the old N16 cleaning rods, do you suggest painting or just some other type of finish? Well, here's the thing. Something that's going to be used nonstop in a lubricant environment, you're just as well off with that to probably just give it a good use grease, use a high quality grease. grease the cleaning rods and just keep a layer of POL, petroleum oil or lubricant product, on the rod. It's going to be in a good environment where, and again, the grease, remember, will bond into the crystalline structure of the metal. Just wipe it down every once in a while. A little trick to that is if you get a grease pot of whatever, leave a cotton cloth, you know, 4x4 rag in there and let it absorb and soak into the material. The advantage of that is whenever you want to buff up or dust up something where it needs to be reapplied, like these cleaning rods, it's going to be more than enough to seal it. The petroleum product isn't going to harm your bore, obviously. And we're not talking about drippy, greasy, like, dipped like it's being stored for, you know, weapons storage with cosmoline. It's just that the grease, the nature of the type of, you know, material will bond better and stay with the cleaning rod. Now, every time you use a cleaning solvent, you're going to take some of that off somehow. So, again, you'll reapply it as needed or oil. Either one would be fine. If I was going to refinish it, you could use any kind of paint, but the paint will probably wear off because of the petroleum product. So it's why with cleaning rods, cleaning tips, extraction tools, your best bet if it was already finished at one time and typically those cleaning rods were done in a triple coat, parkerized grade two. and grade two park rising will only last so long just like anything else on the planet. But some of it's still there, I'm sure. So you could paint it. If you did, I'd do just a real light coat only because remember the purpose of the paint is to create an oxygen barrier. the grease will do just as well. And again, like I said, you're not going to get into any secondary residual buildup, like with the paint wearing off inside the bore or around the crown or in the chamber or the edge of the chamber. It's just one of those things where the lubricant means that, well, here's another thing. Did you get the bag, the pouch that it goes with, or is it ready to just go on the buttstock? Because you can go either way. I actually got the with the Alice clip as well as bronze brushes and the slotted jet to go on the end of it. Oh, okay. Well, remember that the, okay, here's another thing. Before you do anything else, remember to get inside there and brush out the pouch on the inside. Okay. In fact, take a little, whatever you want to in the way of some kind of cleaner and clean out really good the inside because if the rods rusted inside the pouch, it probably would happen. You're going to have oxidation left residue in the nylon. So you want to clean that up really good. Take that Alice clip off, brush it up with a little brass toothbrush or a steel toothbrush. Now that you can repaint. A very light coat of Krylon works fine. What I would do is brush up the keeper if it's tired and then lay it out, open up the retainer so that the tab is open. and give everything a light coat of paint, let it sit in the sun, and then push it down and give the rod that's exposed now a light coat also. After you've done that, I would still take a little bit of grease after everything's really dried for more than a few days. and put a very tiny amount of lubricant on the rod that you pull in and out, the alles rod. Just to be safe, most of it will stay inside the channel there, which is where you can't touch anything and you couldn't paint it, you can't brush it. So the lubricant will help to deal with whatever oxidation is still there, because nothing lasts forever. Now, when you grease the rods, It won't hurt to take your, and I gotta remember, yes, this is gonna soak into the nylon, but inside the pouch, I would do an oil cloth or a grease rag of the same way, or cotton material. Ideally, they even get OD green and brown. There's no reason for it to be white. But you can do tactified cotton cloth. Old t-shirts are fine for this. Get the grease into that and whenever you put the cleaning rods back into the pouch or even if they're if it just leave the rag in the pouch folded so that every time that you put the rods back in they're nested in the mildly lubricated cloth. The cloth is a wipe down if need be for the you know it goes down out in the field you're gonna need everything you got. But that will also permeate the nylon so that it prevents any additional moisture retention inside the pouch. So I've had a lot of them. They're, well, actually those pouches will last forever. If they're Vietnam era, I'm gonna tell you guys, I, whatever polymers they used, I've got stuff that has been accidentally left outside for years, not like a few days or a month, years. and neither the cordage, you know, the stitching, rots, nor does the nylon break down. The biggest problem you got is if there's any snaps or turn, you know, post-it types, you know, the regular dot-type closers. The little springs, which more often were made out of brass or bronze, and they were made out of steel, those have a tendency to get gunked up because of what they're sitting in, which is probably little stamped sheet metal. Before you go, if you got snaps on that pouch, another thing, break out your little stainless steel toothbrush and be patient while you're sitting in front of the TV or listening to the program. And open up your pouch and get right in there with that little toothbrush and very carefully work around inside there where that little retainer spring is that makes up your snap, the female side. The male side is easy to clean up and you should dust that off completely too. Wipe that down and in both cases give it a mild level of lubricant. The snaps should actually be very tough to kill a lot of the stuff made during the Vietnam War. Now one of the reasons is because of all the environments, the Vietnam environment was two things. Extremely hot. and outrageously moist. Okay, wet everywhere. You always see the movies, oh it rained and then I had this rain and then we had that rain and it rained and then it rained some more. Well that's the real world that this stuff had to live in. So what the military did is they built everything to survive that environment and in fact, I'll tell you what, if we had it in World War II, we'd have probably won the war sooner. Whatever they did, whatever plastics they used, they were still, they stayed tactile, they bent. They didn't just snap apart or break apart or whatever. And they were, they're highly resilient to obviously defense against heat, which means that the IR protection that they put into the plastic spurs has had to be monster. I doubt they would let them because of the eco-freaks build what they built during Vietnam like that. Whatever materials they used and the codes, the codes are in the DOD. Archives and the National Archives. So it would be interesting to see what they actually did and copy it because the equipment technically will last forever. I mean, I got Vietnam stuff. Remember, early Vietnam was still in the cotton category with nylon gear mixed in. Middle of Vietnam, they learned all their lessons, which really wasn't a repeat of World War II being in the Pacific. And by the time you get into the middle of the war, all the lessons learned were being applied in mass. in terms of how things were built, what was manufactured. So hopefully that answers your question. I know that again, snap clips, bucklers, they can all be cleaned up. Those can be repainted. Okay, anything you got on there can be repainted. If you're not worried about being careful, you can just hit it with some paint and you'll have a little overspray out to the flap of the closure. If you want to be a little fancy, break out a piece of cardboard, cut a little hole in the middle of that little piece of cardstock from a cracker box or a thin typical communist Chinese cracker box nowadays, the material is very thin. Cut a slot to that, run that over the back end of the snap so that you got everything else covered up and give it a spray. Does that answer your question? Yeah, that answers my question on that because this weekend at a yard sale I found a duffel bag, paid 20 bucks for it. But inside the duffel bag it had a M16 cleaning kit, had two M1949 Duff Mountain sleeping bags, size large, and then also had two wool blankets, a poncho, and a medium wool shirt. So I was like, hey, I scored on this one. The wool shirt in and of itself, if the medium fits, I'll tell you what, thank you for bringing it up because we're heading into the fall and winter. Guys, wool is your friend and any of the old wool items, the only problem is the average soldier during World War II was about a medium with a shoe size of about size eight to size nine. And unfortunately, whatever was left over, I mean, there were big guys out there, big feet and bigger people, but they were not as common. That generation was in a particular size range. It's typical also the generation after that for Vietnam. But if that medium shirt fits, I'd very carefully hand wash that. I would hang dry it and I'd put that in the inventory if it works. I don't care what wool it is, by the way, because it could be the dress shirt or it can be the, you know, the utility shirt, whichever one. But usually those are the winter Arctic wear that you probably found. It'll say so in the label. Did you catch what the label said? What model shirt it is? No, I haven't found that. I did find the model on the sleeping bags, but with a shirt on the shirt. Yeah, the bags are, those are phenomenal. Okay, the M1949, now you do have Here's the thing, if you didn't get any bag covers for those, the newer Dutch, and you might still find those laying around, the newer Dutch Cordura outer shell will work with the M1949 bag. So it's even better, wet weather. Now, in fact, remember, the Dutch build everything three layers. So you probably find it with I know they have a maybe a Coleman's and I may be have a sportsman's guy. But those that's worth investing because I'd use that bag and carry it anywhere. If you got those for 20, those for $20 by themselves, each of those bags worth more than $20. So you made out really well. Good again, wouldn't he say? Good trade. Dances of the wolves. I think the lieutenant wants his hat back. Yeah, but I got a duffel bag full of goodies. Okay, good trade. some useless FRNs for some useful tools. The other thing, too, again, with regard to all the scary, you'll notice I said hand wash. You want to first inspect everything, be careful, and then wherever you can, try to find the information on hand washing or, again, mildly washing the equipment. You've got to be careful with the M1949 bags because of what they're stuffed with, okay? But the again shells and this I don't know if you want to use the spaghetti strap sets up to you There's a number of different solutions the other stuff Sleeping bags stuff bags would work just as well So it's a personal flavor choice thing if you ever remember the spaghetti straps with the m19 56 gear were always always troublesome Only because it just, it just, stuff seemed to slip around out of the straps. But it was designed to be a lightweight solution to being able to carry the sleeping bag. And again, it was built for the Cold War slash into Vietnam. But you could use, for instance, the US stuff bags that they have. There's a bunch of those now, a co-overlapping generations for what, the last 40 years. I mean, that's counting post, you know, a little after the Cold War now. With Dutch or and be quite honest I keep referencing Dutch because the neat thing about the Dutch gear is it matches up for all of our American equipment So if you if you run into Dutch number one the Dutch do incredibly good work with their equipment They at least are up to our standards which well used to be good, but not so much now But the traditional Dutch equipment is usually a grade above most of NATO So that's why I always reference the Dutch stuff. Plus it's usually in the Dutch DPM pattern, which has the instead of the brighter greens of the British DPM, you'll find the medium green of like the woodland camouflage pattern, but it's done in a paintbrush brush slash slash stroke pattern, which really blends well with most environments. So that's a good bag. Those are good bags if you find them. And again, the covers, if you can find the other usual, like I said, it's a three-piece system. There's the bag, an inner shell, and an outer shell. And if you can find just the shells for the sleeping bag, those are made up with the M1949 and would finish it off quite nicely and bring it up into today's standards because of the water repellent nature of the shell. Shell's a great deal. Anything else, caller? You got a good find. No sir, that did. I just noticed that, I mean, that it's like this, in this case it was a older pepper guy that passed away and there's a lot of stuff out there. And that's also going to affect you. Very good. And the wool blankets, some of you are probably thinking, well you need the wool blankets for me when you got the sleeping bag. Well, because it's more thermal protection. And the wool blankets are priceless. If I see a wool blanket anywhere, and I don't even care what color it is right now, especially in older. Let me tell you one, the other thing I've been running into is when number one, we run into old military. But back during the 70s, I should say the, from the 50s on, we had a lot of wool stuff that was built that was traditional, but there was a resurgence of it. I've got a Marlboro Man coat. Do you remember those? It is kind of a knockoff. It was red with black stripes, black horizontal stripes, and with a sheepskin kind of collar, big collar, heavy collar. Those were basically a copy of the voyage air coat, and I got it for a dollar a yard sale. I knew exactly what I was looking at the moment I saw. I was, oh, it's the Marlboro Man coat. They offered them in about 1969, 1970. It's just a good piece of clothing. It's just one of those things where today if you were to go to first you might not be able to find it because I don't know how much wool is really out there. I know Cabela still sells wool. And a couple of the other companies like I think Old Navy offers some wool. Everybody has some of the product out there, but I don't know what the density is or how their weave, what the welt was for the cloth, you know, etc. The new stuff. But I'll tell you what, the older that resurgence period for the mountain man slash western, that equipment is excellent. And if you can run into any of it, grab it. Now, the problem is now we're heading into winter, so people are starting to think more about cool air. But through the summer, coats, they give away. Coats are give away in the middle of the 90 degree weather. What do you need a coat for? I don't know. It's Michigan, and we're in temperate. We're a temperate environment. Anyway, we're almost to the bottom of the hour here. And for everybody out there, guys, it is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. So find a pencil sharpener and grind, or in other words, read, do whatever you can to study. There's a bunch of really good work out there being done by a number of individuals who are helping to expand the militia right now and also pass on their tricks in the trade that they've learned. Let's do this. Edward, if you could. of Kimbreath in light of all the fun things that have been going on it is obvious that we are going to have to exterminate the globalists okay and so the march of Kimbreath is a song that not only should you have it in your music mix how about you guys practice and get together singing I've mentioned this many times oh I'm embarrassed to sing how do you think you're gonna here's the music by the way we'll be back I'm gonna pick up the comedy of them Up there, again, one of the things I was trying to point out here before we started the music, because again, a perfect song, is uh, learn to sing this stuff. Again, I've always told you read Tolkien. Of course they're butchering Tolkien, you know, the Tolkien world with, you know, your lesbian circuitry. So it's a comical, not an ongoing joke, sad joke now. But it's expected. It's like everything else with regard to the turds that you have that are on the other side. We'll get rid of them and we'll be scrubbing everything up and cleaning things up real soon here. Don't worry, that's not an if it's just a when. And as you're doing so, remember what Tolkien, what he wrote? If you go read the books, they're a good read. Go read the Lord of the Rings series. Okay, once you're done you'll appreciate no token properly rather than the Movie BS because even the movies did very very little credit to the intent of the author in fact They did everything they could you already woke woke up I Lord of the Rings when they came up with the crap. He did in the movies, okay? However, it wasn't as bad as the dripping filth that they presently are producing, which is a farce and a sad joke to say the least. But, and they sang as they slay. Let me ask you something, you afraid to sing? Are you afraid to sing? Why are you afraid to sing? Are you worried about how other people are gonna, you know, judge your voice? That shouldn't be relevant. Are you afraid because it's not politically correct? Ooh! That's most likely why. And how did that come about? Because in this country we didn't have boomboxes. Americans, when they wish to raise up their voice, you know, usually or at least maybe just occupy your time. Singing or whistling to yourself or for your own pleasure. And because you like the tune, the combination, the whatever was the norm, not the exception. But when you have propaganda, first movies, radio movies, and then television, and now the internet, a real waste of time mostly. The first thing is to condition everybody. Political correctness has been around for a very long time. If you are afraid to sing, how are you telling me that you'd be willing to fight? If you're afraid to lift up your voice, how are you gonna convince me that you're willing to lift up and, you know, raise arms to fight to save yourself? Because lifting up your voice costs, costs nothing. Except for, well, re- what? Ridicule from your enemies? This is like everything else that's been our problem for a very long time. And whatever jackass opens their face or whoever it is, you know, you know flapping their yap that person is not using their brain or they're using their brain and they're an antagonist slash your enemy anyway, if they are treat them as your enemy. So again, if you're not willing to rise up with your voice the net. Well, how can I believe that you're going to rise up in force of arms? Rise up and eyes up and shine. Oh, that's a Carl Klang song, by the way. In fact, we'll play that later today. Sidebar subject. Well, we've got enough time here. We have a wide open border. Drugs are coming across on backpacks by every mule you can imagine. 50 to 60 to... Before you get too far ahead, who was the artist for that? How many of them can we make die? You know, you should. Oh, come on. Ed, you have to jump in there because for whatever reason, now you asked me that. You rattled it off. You should be easy finding. March of Cumbreas. But, oh, come on. The woman's, the woman, guy's name. I'm trying to, okay. If I just keep talking, I'll rattle it off. Be quite honest. Okay, I do want to know my buddy and... And he wants to listen to it later on the big speakers. So it just rattled off and I'm going to mute out because he's got some background noise. And when you figured out, just say it. Thank you. Or better still, Edwards probably listening right now and he can recall it over over me because he has this grain in front of him. And again, it's March March of Kim breath. And by the way, there's several different videos with the song on it. including one where they're playing the song and for the chorus everybody in the audience joins in which is really how it should be. It's probably awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So again, but we need a whole ton of men doing it is what we need a whole bunch of, you know, guys with, you know, the classic, you know, gear hall scenario, we'll deal with the old barbarian thing. It is. The march of Cambreas, the artist's name, her name, the woman singing is, because it is a woman singing, I know a lot of people hear that and they think it's a guy, it's Heather Alexander. Thank you, there we go. It was somewhere in the march of Cambreas. Yep, Heather Alexander, march of Cambreas. There we go, thank you Edward. And again, I, because it's been a while since you actually, we needed to do that, so what you just did? need to be done anyway because I'm not giving credit to the author. Forgive me on that one. It's something that we always need to do. It's like, you know, a visitor from the past. Everybody, remember the author, not just the device or the useful tool that's been created, but the person who made it happen. And always share that with everybody else. Well, Heather won't forgive me though. See, there's the problem. She knows, she heard, even as we speak, I will be punished by someone. So again, but it's in the repertoire, there's a lot of really cool music out there that's been done. In fact, even some very recent stuff that I ran into, I've got written down, but we haven't had a chance to kind of share it with Ed. But there's some really interesting pieces done for the new nationalist movement in Northern Europe that is really fascinating. In fact, one of our, one or two of them I've seen are instrumental. It's just imagery that they created for their own purposes. But it's a good rousing piece as far as if you watch it, if you watch and listen, it's a perfect combination. And that's the kind of stuff that we need more of anyway, guys. If you've got an idea, don't be bashful. Get a couple friends together and do an Irish pub band. You know what I mean? They can be drunk and sing all day. I mean, after all, Flogging Molly. Okay, they're an Irish pub band, trust me. How they sound in the studio? Amazingly enough with enough beers while they're in a bar, they sound the same. The Irish Rovers were like that too, I guess. As long as the beer keeps coming, I think we'll play just fine. Okay, but if the beer stops coming, they'll probably have a fight. So anyway, that's just how it works. But again, there's a lot of other good stuff that's out there you can run into. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Yeah, John, for me, I don't know if you got my flash emails I sent you about that German Chancellor legislature on September 24th. No, I did not. Go ahead, bring it up on the air. Okay. Supposedly, it's been all over the Internet. One of my friends called me and was concerned about it because this German legislator, supposedly two days ago, made a comment about September 24th will be the day people say, I know where I was and what I was doing when that happened. And it turns out, I think it's more internet fluff. I sent you a follow-up email with a Word document with the stuff that I started digging into. And just reading it, it's more of the internet frenzy, I think, than anything significant. And they're even saying that it turns out that He meant February 24th, so it's just a big hodgepodge. But I don't know. You never know. I mean, who knows what's going to happen anymore. Crazy country we're living in. Well, just remember, October, okay, is the window. So for them to kick something off as far as creating an incident around the 24th, I put more money on that than him modifying and going, no, I'm at 24th of February of what? 2023? Yeah. Okay. So it wasn't so it. February 24th, the day of COVID in 2020. February 24th was the day of COVID. I think that's when COVID the first case was. was uncovered or diagnosed or whatever was February 24th, I think 2020. I have to double check it, but it's as likely as not because remember the benchmark for them to create a benchmark date. You know, if that's kind of an arbitrary thing there, but it would make sense because they like to they like to have benchmark kickoff points. So for them to announce the word and mention that somebody else may be trying to modify it. And because that's 2020, this guy was, sounds like he was just talking about 24 September 2022, like this September. Yeah, now you see, yeah, the thing is that if somebody brought it up the other one, that's again, like we're talking about muddying the water, but tongue in cheek laughing about it. You know what I mean? The southern enemy does work. is, well, we'll just throw it out there. By the way, remember, haha, for all you ring knockers. Well, we all know what the 24th of February 2020 was for, what that was all about. Haha, look how we screwed everybody. But looking at the timetable, they've got to kick it off in the traditional red October window. And starting off on the 24th of September, they create an incident. They stir the pot for one or two weeks. Look what they've been doing since the September 2nd communist really crappy video dictatorship speech that the Penrose Never Meat puppet did. As we pointed out yesterday, nobody, it took guys, it took 10 days to find out that they were grabbing people the day after that speech. that they were going out with FBI agents and other departments and attacking people the next day after that speech. And they weren't people that were with any of Trump's top 50 or 60. Those people got attacked too. More on something on that in a minute. But we're talking just regular people that have Trump flags out or whatever. And they were making a point of doing a wave. Now, this one woman came forward on Tucker Carlson. But as they pointed out, you believe that she was the only woman the day after that speech? Or man? That they did that too? And how many did they make disappear? It was 10 going on 11 days before anybody found out about that. So think about it. Go ahead. I'm sorry. I sent those two emails about four hours ago and the second one has actually got a Word document in it where I have links to the article. There's some YouTube video links, a Rumble link. The only problem is the guy is speaking German. I don't see how they're getting anything out of it, but there's places in there where you can link in the article and get more information. So it's out there if you want to putter around with it a little bit. It's in the email there. Thank you. I appreciate that Yeah, should be in your inbox Okay, well, I'm gonna sign out just want to let you know to look for it Very good. Thank you. So well 24 September 24 step 24 step Okay, well we need a lot of other Go ahead jump in there, please Yeah, a little bit behind because I was on the net and then switch toward the phone bit I heard a lot of dates to be able to talk about, oh, COVID started here and they announced it. Well, I got COVID-19, COVID with the 10 Special Forces November of 2019. So that's when it came in, because I got it and I got over it. Athens Army Hospital didn't know what it had, so you had a bit of clues. Later on, they called me and said, oh, you had COVID. Decided to mention it. Well, really well. Yeah, well it really was a flu. I mean that's exactly what it is. It's a SARS flu. It's just whether it's souped up or just mutated appropriately however it is, they used it. Now the thing about the date is what he's saying is, you know, you got to remember, people were getting sick before that. That's why I said the date is farcical. You know what I mean? Because when you have an illness scenario, you got to figure how long would it take for it to figure out they've got the problem. because you have a random case here, you have 10 cases there, then you have 100 cases and whatever. But no matter what, even with communications supposedly better, because of the lack of quality of people that are in government positions or intentional malfeasance, take your pick, there's a number of reasons this happens. The communication system has done nothing to enhance or better distribute a way process of evaluation like this. The characters don't do their job, they can care less, they get paid the same if they do a lot or a little, most do a little. And so the bureaucracy is so much dead weight that we aren't really any better off today in the year 2022 or 2020 or 2019. than we were in 1950. In fact, in some ways, I think it's worse. In fact, I'd say we were better off with a combination of communications resources that we used in the Patriot moment in 1993 than today in 2022. Because people notoriously get lazy, okay? And in 1993, we knew how to use the fledgling intranet better than most. But we also used radio, we used all of the satellite technology. Guys, we actually have much better combined arms communications team then than pretty much everybody is now. Everybody has actually stepped back. I'm not blaming any of you out there because part of it has to do with the cycle of resources available, etc. But we have been thinking about this last couple of days. Number one, we are going to get back on shortwave. That's not an infat just a WAN. But there are other media sources that we can use, and including satellite, and we're going to break down and just simply do it and be done with it. It's going to cost, but a lot of stuff is going to be plugged back in as quickly as we can. And of course, the problem is it's a race. Are we too late? Never too late, really. But the question is, you know, if we're looking at them getting ready to flip the major cards, remember they flipped a bunch of minor cards and then trying to drag them back into the shadows, then it's not an if. It's just a when they go for the gusto. And it's obvious we'd like the secret police arrests and the public statements made. I mean like the Penne Stiffer Meat puppet doing that stupid speech, that was Obama. in his wet dream future, speaking through the meat puppet and doing what he wanted to do all the time that he was dictator. And still is dictator. That was the Obama speech against America. That wasn't Biden. That was Obama. And the only thing that pisses him off is he wanted to be the one standing there. That's the thing that that messes messes with it is as far as you and don't worry if they can kick this off, right? Somehow They're gonna have Obama standing in front of you as dictator He's just tired. They're getting tired already and you know the ring knockers the Soros controlled characters and the other foreign controlled characters They're starting to yap about the penne sniffer meat puppet. So how they're gonna plug in on an angle? Illegitimately Barry Satoro slash Obama It's going to happen. It's not an if. It's just a when you're going to see him standing up there at the podium instead of the corpse that's there now. So that's what all this is tied into. Mark, the big thing is when Michael's president. Mikey. Well, when Mikey will be standing there only they might change places. Somebody did a little Mimi cartoon or like a Mimi Photoshop. And as likely as not the two of them trading places. Why not? Maybe maybe maybe wearing the dress this time. Right exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Obama Obama wear the dress and Mikey will play and I'll play the guy this time. Right. And then they'll tell you it was all and here's the thing guys. They'll then tell you it was always that way. That's the way it's always been. Are you ready for that one? Because I am. Look at how twisted and perverted this whole system is right now. Look how perverted these characters are. And in fact, it is toilet zone, and we let the toilet zone go too far. So the conversation as much should also be by demonstrating and looking at this. It's why we need to get rid of it. Go ahead, call it. Uh-oh. Is it not coming? And your mic's open. But I'll call it. Come on, here we go. Over here. Don't worry, I have cats and tried to do that with them. It's useless. Come here. Fluffy, come here. Fluffy, what are you licking your paw for? Why are you acting like you don't even hear me? Fluffy. Fluffy. Fluffy's not listening. No, Fluffy's listening. Fluffy's just being a cat and ignoring. That's the difference. On the other hand, the dog's got a little more motivation. It might be food. So anyway, real quick here before we go any farther, one last thing, because we're going to close, we're not done yet, we've got about five minutes. So they fogged the pillow guy. Do you think that it was necessary for the punks in the Fed to ambush the pillow guy in a drive-through for some quick food at a fast food restaurant? The punks from the alphabet soup puke agencies They had to thug the pillow guy in a drive-through restaurant waiting for my tacos, my fries, my burger, whatever, my malt shake, and come up and ambush him at the drive-through. What a bunch of punks. What a bunch of absolute worthless ass wipes. What a bunch of people who need to be put up against the wall and shot. But you think about it, the pillow guy, okay? Here's the one thing, I don't care if you like my pillow, you don't have to now. You can go over to mystore.com, they don't sponsor us. But my answer is everybody that is a pro patriot, pro Trump person, should go over to mystore.com and buy something. Just as an attitude, just as a, you know what? I hate those bastards. And I don't necessarily have any great love for, you know, the My Pillow guy, but I have a great hatred for all the alphabet soup turds that are doing crap like this. So one of the best things you could do is go over to mystore.com and go through whatever's there and see what might work. Now I will say this, there's different grades of My Pillow. But even the cheapest MyPillow works. And I understand what they did. It's actually, it's really interesting because he actually applied something, I don't know if he knows it or not, goes way back to NASA. And it has to do with how they constructed, the way that MyPillow is constructed. Well, what I can see is the way they originally did the Zero G Pillows. Most people don't realize way, way back with Skylab. They were experimenting with different things. And basically it's like the Skylab space pillow, which has to be able to work in zero gravity, remember? So it always has to form up, so it does what it's supposed to do. Even though you don't really press against anything, if you strap someone down in their strappable sleeping bag, Then you're trying to give them some support even though well, don't worry They're kind of still floating around no matter what even internally don't forget that one But they work my pillows are comfortable. They really work. So there's something you could pick up Don't forget the most expensive item. However, a lot of you need a certain item. We need quick plot you want to pick up a Standard packet for your iFAC. Here you go. You go over to my store.com. They have what they call bleed stop Now the normal price is about $65. The discount price though with this code I'm going to give you, it's very simple, is $29.99. Far as I know it's still in effect and if it isn't let me know. Give us a call here on the program. But it's L77. L77. Simple. Real simple. Real easy. By using that code with the bleed stop, The price drops down to $29.99. Now you go look at what quick cost and whatever pouch configuration and I even thought I'm even talking about if you go over to ShopMedVet.com. The price is about what the basic price is over at my store. However, with that L77, L-77 code, the discount code drops it down to $30. So you're getting the same package for less than half price, which is an excellent deal. So if you guys don't have a quick clock pack bundle in your IFAC, in your personal first aid kit, along with your tourniquet and everything else, this is the place to go as long as they still have it in stock, buy it there. So that's a solution, not just complaining about the problems, solutions. And yeah, so they thogged up the pillow guy. You feel real proud about that? Yeah, dude. I went to Batfaggots and we went to FBI and I went to Federal Marshals and we went and we snuck up and we ambushed the pillow guy at the Quick Food Restaurant. Cuz we're bad, man. We're really bad. What a bunch of stinking panty-waist. What a bunch of just dripping with cur. They are sick curs. Bottom feeding trash. But you know, that's what the government is and that's what the bureaucracy aspires to. Bottom feeding trash. And we're gonna go to break. We're at the time should be hearing the music here right now. For everybody out there, it is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. God bless the Republic. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and 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 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'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the for training and you will come back alive good Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon. Intelligence report time are currently one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, east, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on the satellite. We'll say hi to all of our friends out there on the Maroos, slash merchant marine, wherever you are on whichever ocean, we're on every one and inland. We appreciate you guys rebroadcasting us in so many different ways and creatively. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside. and outside these United States. It is, well, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 14th of September. It is the 14th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic. the dance of swords. Let the dance continue and it will. Remember, shield, sword, footwork, combinations, combinations, your katas that you are taught in peace are applied in war. Okay, so that's simple. So anyway, we are busy. First of all, again, congratulations. Forgive me, I didn't do this in the last hour. We have a date for the flag ceremony. Of course, it's going to mean all those girls doing all the flag work that are going to be stitching everything are going to be working overtime. Again, both for Bill Nethamer, or Night Hammer, God, I probably got that right though. I forgot they were on last time. Night Hammer, Chuck Ritter, Merv Miller, and Warren Matthews. 65th Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marine, Brigade 1, 2, 4 and 5, the new organized and fleshed out cadre units. 10%, each one of these units has about 10% long term member personnel and then we've been fleshing out with personnel coming in. The 65th has been around for a very long time. It has been a, not so much a reserve, but it has been a standby Regimental combat team with a core Brigade that actually is pretty well complete. It's a full combined arms unit However with everything that's been going on and because the enemy is well, they did what they did and everybody has made their decisions We've had a lot of new people come in these unit these individuals have stepped up as the new unit commanders and again The flag ceremony is supposed to be, of course we could be at war by then, but it is supposed to be a Saturday, it'll be the 15th of October. In the meantime they'll be serving, by the way, but if everything goes well, the 15th of October, almost a month out, the way it looks, But remember, they've got to have all the blades. Everything has to be ready. The blade ceremony for each of the individuals, each man receives their personal unit blade and that's a lot of work unto itself. Plus the ladies hand stitch the unit flags and the unit commander, these are fleshed out units, will receive the flag from the women. The grandmas were moms, were wives, were close female relatives. Everybody has one representative there. They present the flag to the unit commander and it is a really cool ceremony. It is a closed ceremony, family, friends, family, family and unit members is what it comes down to and other people who are brought in by invitation. But it is a really emotional moment for everybody because we promise to put our bodies in harm's way against the globalist. And for the people who participate, everybody understands the gravity of what that means. So again, well done. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up. And again, so the 15th, which by the way is a Saturday too for everybody, what this also means is the mega death potluck takes place afterwards. And with this thing, I believe it will be more than one location, although they might do all four at the same time. And if they do, that's a lot of people in one place. But we have two or three facilities already that we control that we can have at that. So if not more, I mean, depends on which. Some of the businesses and companies out there will let us use their whole complex for a militia event like that. So it's not a problem. Anyway, so other stuff. First of all, I want to go back to, so they fogged the MyPillow guy. Yeah, I could just see the torps, the punks, the punk FBI agents, he said they were FBI. Who knows what they were? Faggots from, you know, ticker pick, bat faggots, they all carry a portfolio of ID cards now, especially Homeland Security liars. Just because you see a card doesn't mean anything. It's just like any other paper they're carrying. Absolute lie, absolutely. So anyway, can you picture him afterwards? Yeah, man. We went up and we thud to my pillow guy, man. We were at, yeah, Batfang, oh, we're at, oh, we're whatever, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What a bunch of twerps. I mean, just absolute slobs. What a bunch of is what it comes down to. And of course they wanted his phone, man, because he needed your phone because it's just so important to the phone, man. The phone is like they're trying to harass everybody. Personally, they need to have their ass shot. Someone's going to do it. I'll be happy when it happens sooner rather than later. Anybody who's, you know, oh my God, how could you say? What do you mean how you say that? You're coming to people's houses. The communist police state is doing everything you all said. Will, first of all, my favorite, they'll never do that. And now they're doing it and it's like, oh, what do we do? Well, for the Patty Way spineless curbs that are out there, I'm sure you don't know what to do. But at a given point, someone's just going to make the decision and everybody else is going to have to pitch in. That's what's going to happen. So however it is, they they thug the MyPillow guy. That's pretty sad. But it's typical for the dweebs and idiot sticks and fools that you have in these government agencies. and the type of low-end trash that you're gonna experience in the future, and you're all gonna go, how the hell do we let this happen? It's like, well, you sat on your hands, and you let stupid get the job, is what happened. You let stupid get the job. Batty waste, anal retentive control freak, stupid. Anyway, a couple of things. Oh, you know what, before we go any farther, it's Weapons Wednesday, but we haven't played this song in a while. So, Edward, hopefully you're right there. Hose Down by Leslie Fish. You know, guys, there's some really cool stuff that we've got in the inventory. And you know what, we get so much of it. Every once in a while, I got to jog my memory. And when the title of the author, you know, the author's name was asked about, you know, how many of them can we make die? Marcia Cambreath. Most of everybody still calls it, how many of them can we make die? For obvious reasons. What's the chorus? What sticks? Okay. But it's Marcia Cambreath. and Heather Alexander, but in this case Leslie Fish, she did a whole album and I still have not played. We have not played another song that she did. It's called 30 Hot Six. But what we're looking for right now, and Ed, if you can pull it up, I just checked, it's still over on YouTube. Hose Dash Down by Leslie Fish. If you're looking for it, guys, and somebody wants to put it up in the Discord, Hose Down by Leslie Fish. We'll see if Ed can pull that up bring it to our our Programming, I'm sure he can and for everybody out there again remember share this stuff whenever you get a chance Another cute thing going on right now is The fact that I did you know with with what they've been doing in the last several days Fill that AR rocket the final tote you don't kill much, but sleeves and brush when you hose down Sniper up a tree can wipe out a whole company Because he'll take the time to eat while the hose down boys just spray and fly You go to spin blast he gives up lots of ammo fat how much can you carry? How long can you tear it when you hose down? One good well-hamed shotgun You throw as much pot as the entire clip of an AR zip when you hose down. I'm throwing glitters to make the other guy keep on, but wear good front and head. You'll stand tall while they fall dead. Eat much sense and eat much to fill the air that's spoken for one can see just where you be when you hose down. Lots of flame of noise, maybe, but you win the game by how well I hose down. Yes, you win the game by In fact, I like that so much, I'll tell you what. Slide it back to the beginning and let me shut up and play it again. For everybody out there, hose down. Can wipe out a whole company Because he'll take the time to eat While the hosedown boy's just spraying flag When you go to spray and blast You use up lots of ammo How much can you carry? How long can you tarry when you hose down? One good well-hanged shotgun You throw as much as the entire glib of an AR zip When you hose down I'm throwing glitters to make the other guy And for everybody out there, it's Hosedown by Leslie Put it in the inventory and then, well... Everybody when they hear that song, one 12 gauge plus puts as much lead. Well, guys, that's what I told you before. I love number four buck. It's 22 caliber and you've got about 30 plus pellets. If it's the cheapie loads like you see now where they knocked a few pellets down, it may average either 30 or 28. But if you have a traditional and maybe some older Remington or Flinchchester or Sterling, Ammunition, it's 34 pellets at least, and some, 36. Which means when you pull the trigger, you've got just as many 22 caliber pellets moving down range in a burst format, but one shot and you pattern the whole area. So, eh, shotguns are kind of handy in that respect. Just something to think about. Now, of course, it was a military load that actually are basically shooting ball bearings, so it's got to be steel shot. Kind of like if you're hunting ducks, okay? which is like, ah, and there's disadvantages to that. The advantages and disadvantages, of course, here's the basic rule. If you got a box of shells for 12 gauge and you run out of all your, whatever your standard lead is, because that's what you thought you wanted to use first, and you had bird loads, you're not going to shoot them? Oh, hell yes, you are. As a matter of fact, what's really cool about bird loads is they're basically air defense shells. Okay, you are using like number four buck. I mean a lot of people actually do for going after geese, but you can also use number five shot number four shot. Six. Okay, if you have six and a 10 gauge, do you realize what kind of a claymore mine charge that is? I mean, that's what it's like. A 10 gauge. You ever thought about, you don't hear anything about 10 gauges hardly at all. 10 gauge ammunition is few and far between, but the gun itself, you might recall several years ago, talking about going after birds, Ithaca made a 10 gauge Model 37, although it had another designation. It was just a Model 37 scaled up to 10 gauge. Now they did that gun Originally it was back in 19, I think 1951 or 52 and then they discontinued it because you know, 10 gauges run in cycles as far as you know, people who buy them aren't going to buy a whole lot of them because they're into waterfowl shooting. Typically they're going after big birds and there's only so many people interested in that. Okay, and then there's other guns out there, semi-autos or whatever. But Ithaca's, the copy that Ithaca made, they redid again, you might recall in the early, early 80s, late 70s, early 80s. And when that came out, sure as hell, even though it had a goose barrel on it, you know how long a goose barrel is? Okay, go look up the numbers on that. Anyway, if somebody got hold of one and immediately cut it down to a 20 inch barrel, and made it into a close defense gun. A 10 gauge Ithaca close defense gun. What's the Ithaca 37 famous for? Any of you familiar with the Model 37? Why I love it so much, but others do too. When you pull back the trigger and you work the action, slap her hard because every time you slam that bolt forward, she fires. Making the Ithaca the poor man's submachine gun. the Ithaca Model 37. Now, take the same gun with the same working action, and it's manually operated, it's not semi, but it's manually operated, and you hold the trigger back, and you slam, you work that action, and you slam it forward. Every time that bolt goes forward, the gun goes boom. And so basically there were two models that were modifications. And I know everybody likes to try and make back then when they did Miami Vice in the 80s, the big deal was cutting shotguns down to pistol size cycle. That's a waste. I mean, it's cool, but it's still a waste. Basically going the other way, one of the other companies, one of the other independents put a trench tube underneath a longer magazine tube under the barrel. and came up with basically a 10 gauge five shot with one of them also with one of the tube, assault gun is the only way to describe it. And using like number six or take your pick or whatever shot you wanted even buckshot, it was a, it would literally as if you want to call anything a bar sweeper or a hallway sweeper, that was. Now they're still out and about, but everybody wants top dollar. They are not made, as far as I know. They might be, but I haven't looked recently. They may still be in the inventory. I know that there were a couple of 10 gauge Ithaca's listed in 2014, and I really haven't had a whole lot of time to, you know, too many guns in the world. Time to check to see if Ithaca was still cranking out something like that. I'm sure somebody is still doing it. Goose guns are still out there. People, Cabela's, I'm sure they're selling them. But the 10 gauge for special like defense position work is an excellent choice. The only thing is it's like buying 300 blackout. If you buy 10 gauge, you're not going to pull any off the enemy corpses. You have to have the ammunition in hand, which means if I had a 10 gauge, I'd be buying ammo every week for it. It would be a given if I was a younger person, if I had a 10 gauge shotgun because it's just so valuable for useful. As a defense gun, I'd be buying a box of ammo. It'd be part of my given on my paycheck. I'm going to spend this amount of money on the cheapest 10 gauge shells I can get and buy them every week. You probably won't be pulling it out of them either. Yeah. Well, the interesting thing about the 10 gauge, you won't believe any shells behind if you can snag them and pick them up. That's another thing always to remember. The closest thing as far as the 10 gauge goes is when they were doing the naval boarding gun program. They did the cases in cut down 50 caliber, which is the model they actually stayed with on the program. But they also made a 20 gauge. It was a, it could be 20 gauge. The 20 millimeter cannon round. which was still cap fired, not electronically fired. And what they did with the Naval program is they took regular shells like that, cut them at the shoulder, reamed them for the test program, and they made what was a double feed Model 870 shotgun. The program that went farthest was where they used .50 caliber brass to make the shotgun shell. But the next sister, the other one that was a parallel project, and the only reason they dropped it is because they felt that the 50 was enough. But they built, it was equivalent to an all steel case or all brass case, 10 gauge, dual feed. It had two tubes underneath the barrel. and it had a switcher system and it was, again, they made a semi and a manual, but the semi is what basically made more sense for reliability. And so they stuck with what was basically a modified 870. Now, they, needless to say, this was almost all custom machinery, guys. But you know what's interesting? Both the guns worked. So the interesting thing about it is the ballistics. You could actually take Against the 10-gauge standard shell, we'd have to do the math. I'd have to figure it out. I haven't bothered. But you can right now get spent 20 millimeter cases, pretty cheap. Spent 20 millimeter aircraft cannon shells were pennies apiece. In fact, there's a couple companies west of the Mississippi to have them. So you could make a steel case version of the same shell as the 410. And the advantage of this is that you can actually beef up the pressures on the gun. Now the Navy wanted the higher pressure because they were, well, more energy because they were gonna put a heavier charge inside that brass case. They were gonna put more weight in there. So just imagine touching off a 50 caliber case with two ounces of whatever ball bearings, you know, like BBs, for instance, that they put in inside. Everybody goes, well, why wouldn't they use lead? Well, the problem is that there's, here's the problem the Navy has as a quandary. They could use lead, but it doesn't conform to the Geneva and Hague, Geneva Conventions and the Hague trees. So because of this, they have to use a steel military jacket shot. And it's not going to be a lead ball, a lead ball with copper jacket on the outside. That just isn't going to happen. So instead, they went with either steel bearings or they went with BB. And what I always thought would be cool with an idea like this is using the 50 caliber case. You can upgrade your pressure a little bit and you can make it a straight wad base on the bottom and load that sucker up with what we call an arcane load where you have double up buck pellets in there, number four buck pellets in there, and to fill in the spaces in between, number six, number seven and a half powder shot. When you touch that off down a hallway, everything gets hit. You realize what that would be like? It's like carrying an artillery, well a flechette round almost. And by the way, the Navy did do flechette loads with the all brass case rounds. And they worked really well. Now the reason the Navy wanted, why would they want something so they wanted a gun they could use in a ship where they wouldn't have to worry about penetrating the hull for like ship defense, like in a submarine or on board a ship where you have a lot of sensitive equipment where you don't want to paw through a wall with a .308 and kill the radio operator and then it'd be on the next bulkhead. So that was the purpose behind this idea. Plus it was used for what it said, boarding purposes. You know, for going out to another boat and having a lot of fire power. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Would flochets be good for modern use and like mortar rounds, improvised mortars and such? Well, no, the problem you've got with indirect fire devices is fusing and reliability and dispersion. You're still better off with HE. You know, just taking, you know, using either, well like modern grenades. Modern grenades use a copper wire or steel wire that has been wrapped around a mandrel. They notch it on the inside, not the outside. Like you see with a pineapple grenade, they notch it on the inside. So it looks like a spring and that sleeves into the device you're going to throw. You have other packing and filament material plus the explosive itself. Mortarounds basically are built the same way depending on what their mission is. So you really can't get the directional. They do get that to a degree but with a very different idea of what they use for fragmentation or projectile away from the center, which typically again is a bearing or rod bearing type material instead of like a ball bearing or rod bearing. Would Fluschett be good for like a great shot charge with an improvised IED? Oh yes, well that's what they originally were intended for. Remember, that's what they were. Fluschett was what we used to be called Beehive. Now before Beehive, there was what was called short charging. In fact, guys, if you read anything about, I mentioned this many times, short charging is where you have a fusible, you know, system with regard to the warhead. And when units were in trouble, when an artillery unit was in trouble, this is modern times, you're not talking Civil War, we're talking modern times, you actually set it for zero fuse, fired the shell, and as soon as the thing left the barrel, the fuse was capped and the thing was going off, would explode to your front 20, 30, 40 yards, 100 yards, depending on how close you set the fuse. That's risky because, yes, that explosive charge could envelop the gun. So they already had, remember, shot years ago, and that really had been around even World War I and through the World War II, basically taking a big artillery shell. And if you weren't pressed to use that HE round with a short fuse, They actually had an anti-bonsai-charged shotgun shell that was lots and lots and lots of 50 caliber or 40 caliber ball. Now that never got to the troops in any good numbers. So, Fluschette was the next thing because Fluschette has a, what it does, it leaves the tube and it has a center charge with a live round that bursts and takes all of those little Fluschettes and while they're already going so many thousand feet per second downrange, it then also spreads them out. So yes, in an IED, even if you didn't have the fusing capability, having it just for the purpose of putting it straight down in front of you within a reasonable range. That would work just fine. That's what that was its original purpose. In fact, let me point something out You had a good question here if you run into a company that is selling fluschettes guys Call them up and ask how are they? How are they getting them? How did they receive them? Because there's two ways that they come. Number one, for years, way back even when I was little, I remember this language yesterday, the original boxes are OD green or plain pine board. They are approximately two feet by about two feet, and they stand about 10 inches tall. There's a capping lid on the top, and then when you open up the box, which was a simple transport box is all it was, There are little trays, there's little dividers made out of pot metal, sheet metal, and inside are tens and tens of thousands of the flochets laid in these little troughs from the bottom to the top of the inside of the box. And those are the boxes that were sent to the arsenal where they actually made the artillery beehive rounds. Now, that's how a lot of times guys got the flechettes. However, where a lot of the flechettes are coming from right now and have been for quite a few years parallel with the other way is they've been getting what are deactivated or decommissioned flechette rounds. So you actually have the beehive in either like 75 or in 106. or in 105 or in 155 millimeter pods. Now, depending on what you want to build for anti-personnel purposes, if you were willing to buy what they have, if it's complete, and if they have different sizes, you can figure out, well, what kind of thick wall steel pipe would I want to make a muzzle loading Flushet launcher out of? Because you can make actually a muscle loading cannon that would match up to the bore of the Flechette round. And even though it wouldn't, it wouldn't have, well you could fuse it and everything, that'd be a lot of complication. But if you were to just stack it, you know, take it and stack it, cut it to whatever length you want to use out of the pod, because the pods are anywhere from, depending on like the 155s are massive, but they're all about what? foot and a quarter, a foot and a half, long. Some are bigger actually. Remember the recoilless rifle pods are kind of weird the way they look, but those are 106 millimeter. Okay. The recoilless rifle pods are most common, I think that's what we're still running into. The 105s are very common because those were actually provided for tank load and for artillery. And those could be bought in their original configuration and you build a thick wall muzzleloader that fits what you've got. And I wouldn't use the whole thing. I just use maybe four to six inches at a time. You realize how devastating, say, seven, 800 or 1,000 or 2,000 of those plashettes going downrange, what that would do to someone? It would be... I'm sure it would be very devastating. Yeah, it would nail them right to the wall just like these guys described when they touched off those beehive rounds Whatever was out front got nailed to whatever was behind it The ones that got hit didn't fall Because they got stapled right to it's if you look at the size of plashettes. They're not that big around guys But what happens is they work like brads. If you got hit with say 40, 50, 60 or 100 or 200 of them and you're standing next to something, well, you'll probably still be standing right there dead as a doornail. Because that happened to a lot of people. Any way they can happen when you get KIA'd. But in this case, the flechettes were phenomenally effective. The big thing is, Very little of any kind of low-end cover would slow down the flush yet. Just does a good job of cutting through organics like leaves, small branches, things like that. The other thing is, it still had plenty of energy going through soft or relatively thin obstacles like paneling or pieces of board or whatever. If it went through a pine board, it'd come out the other side with most of its energy intact. Now it might just nail to the board. So, or log, or, you know, come on, think about what else is in the woods out there. So, I know that at least a couple of these companies are disassembling Flechette routes. And they would be probably emicable because they don't have to do any work. If you're willing to spend the money, then you could buy from them one of the Flechette logs and use it. And the advantage is if you're going to be doing an anti, like I said, you could do a stumpy. Guys, most of the old, I don't know if you guys have ever seen them, maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But the stumpy infantry howitzers, not a cannon, not a traditional, like say, rifled or smoothbore, midbore gun, but rather a cannonball throwing, you know, high HE howitzer. They're relatively small. Basically, there's all kinds of seamless pipe that's out there that could be used for the job, or you could build it from scratch, and your charges would be no different as anything you do for anything else of Civil War or for reenactment, but the beehive would totally change the art performance of it. Go ahead. Speaking of reenactment, that's actually made me wonder, because I'm sure that the majority of cannons are probably used for reenactment purposes. Would most of those be able to be commandeered and switched to low-end light artillery against things like light armored vehicles like Humvees and Emrecks? Oh, they'd be used as a... I'm sure a lot of reenactors would probably be on our side. Well, yeah, the thing is, those... Okay. Think about this any ma any kind of gun could be loaded with a sabo projectile Any of those guns what you would do I would do it either in cast aluminum or wood Or I do it in polymer, but I would basically make the nesting sabo out of non-strategic material and the dart could be made out of whatever steels you have or higher grade metals. And be quite honest, guys, let me jog everybody's memory. I haven't seen them, and I think they've stopped allowing them to be sold. But remember, they used to sell the darts. The Sabo dart for the 105 used to run into them all the time. They were sold as scrap metal from the US government. And so we have many, many, many, many Sabo darts already on standby for this mission. And I won't say any more, but I don't think we left them laying around. So a modern black, any black powder period weapon. could be loaded with a discarding Sabo round that would give you low pressure, high velocity capability. Remember that the Russian 73mm main gun on the original BMP-1, that was what made that gun effective because it's only 73mm is that it was a discarding Sabo primary load. It used a discarding sable, the little clamshell that the shell rests in, and a smaller subcaliber dart that's in the middle. Now those were made out of carbide, you know, tungsten carbide. They were made out of depleted uranium. Remember that's what we used in Desert Dust Part 2 to, you know, kill a lot of Iraqis. And we're still killing them. Uh, it could be any number of hardened steels purely matter what do you have available at that point in time with your production capability. But for instance, going up against any type of mechanical, it would do damage. Now, am I gonna, well we could do cool. I was level an idiot stick so you're gonna go up against an Abrams. Well, I don't think I'd be facing off against Abrams, but if I had a potshot I could make on a side shot or an ass shot on any critical components, I'm only going to fire it once and I'm not standing around to wait and see what's going to happen. If you think about every weapon you have, how would you apply it in a common sense way? If you have a muzzle-loading gun, you station it to control a road or an area. Imagine what a discarding sabo charge would do, a drought would do, with a column of black uniform humvees coming down the road or black SUVs. I don't care if they're armored or not. I actually put that into the Battle for the Republic series in that building up new rounds for other tank guns is not a big deal. So, you know, having a 75 millimeter high velocity gun that already was a high performer and turning around and putting a modern Sabo round in it, oh, it's going to penetrate heat. In fact, that's what the Russians did. Guys, they never talked. The Russians are stupid. Well, the Jewish communists were stupid ass hats. And with cracking the whip, they forced a lot of people to work for them and do things. Well, the Russians never threw anything away, but understand that the munitions for each of the weapon systems they built was of comparable performance to the most modern gun available. So when you look in 1977, I was looking at the order of battle for the in-depth units that they had. And they still had the 45 millimeter anti-tank, towed anti-tank guns still in service. And it's like, why in the hell would they do that? Well, they were paid for it. They never put much mileage on them. They did use them. What they did is they upgraded them with two things. Spigot launchers like what the Germans did, but they also built brand new discarding Sabo ammunition for those guns. Now what was their effective range only about four to five hundred yards That's not much Yeah But they were paid for and it doesn't sound big deal and put a troop out there with a handful of rounds and fire and run The same was true with their seventy six point two guns with all of their their 90s with all of their 100s Everything that they built they built upgraded modern munitions that match the present tank gun of the day So all of their, when the more modern hash and hap and everything else came into play with modern tanks, the Russians upgraded their lesser vehicles. Now the big thing is range. In other words, a 76.2 millimeter gun doesn't reach as far. So you have to use the weapon, the system within its known potential. You know, do you dance out there against something that can hit you at 3,000 yards? You'd be a fool. And guess what? As a tank commander, you're not going to be a fool. So guys, everything we're talking about, you take a whatever gun or cannon or field piece you have and you load it up with a black powder charge, run a wire down the, right down it for electronic fire if you didn't want to use match. You run an electronic squib in with a bag charge that you load first. You then load the Sabo round in. Or for that matter, you want to really be mean, you could do a big buckshot load. Why not? If you wanted to be, do something against anti-personnel or even a vehicle. What's the, say you don't do a, like, what, seven pound or ten pound load of steel ball bearings that are all 40 caliber? What do you think that's like going down range? I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end. So all of these things, and remember too, if I was doing that, I would make a wad just like you do for a shotgun. What? Yeah, I'd make a wad out of polymer or ply or say pine slat boards. And I would nail those to the base of the base of a board that would go in with all the pellets. Now I'm going to have to rag it so that it doesn't flop around and fall apart. Obviously there's a couple different tricks you can wound bandage wrap it. And then you cap the front end with something to keep everything from not sloughing out the front. And you load it. And then what you do is you wait for the target. You tap the electronic switch. The squib activates the charge. The charge pushes the bearings downrange out of that very fine steel tube that can't fail. And when it leaves the tube there, what happens is everything is held together so far, but those little pine slats are designed to separate with the energy, the velocity of the air resistance. And what happens is all of a sudden all your bearings spread out and you've got this big ass shotgun shell going down range, this pallet of this wad of shell of bullets, and whatever they do, they do. See everybody's you know we can be still in the space age and again would you what we'd be about running up and reloading it no I'm using it's not a fire it can be a fire forget if I need it to be or it's a fire and run in other words you don't go whole out you hold down you wait in position with what you've got When you have a target of opportunity, you don't care what it is, you put rounds on it and then you back out immediately and then your overwatch vehicles and your infantry support with the next layer of fire and then they break contact and as the enemy continues to approach us a third tier does its job with each person already having prepared their firing station and understanding the limits of what they're using. Remember, you can create a combined arms team with a hundred different, that's why I said the Batpaggots and all these lesser units, they're dead. When we decide to cut loose, there's no way they can escape and we can't really let them. But the basic rule in the lighter tactical level, the next tier up, now then it's a matter of which direction to do all the military choose to go, and there's gonna be this division there very quickly. And then that determines how much of what technology lands in which side of the playing field. But there's a whole lot of stuff that can be built. Recoilless, I will say this again, while artillery sounds fun, recoilless or mortars make more sense. When the Jewish commissars screwed the Russian army in the early stages of World War II with the invasion by Germany, Barbarossa, They lost almost all of the artillery available to the Russian army through their incompetence. They shopped the generals who tried to save their equipment. And they executed the officers who were trying to do their train job because if you can't hold the ground, you save your fighting equipment so that you can fight tomorrow. But because you have a bunch of purple haired queers, a $3 bill, pedo Jewish Commissars in charge, just like the crap you see right now. While they said no retreat, Stalin said no retreat. So all the Jewish Commissars were told execute anybody who doesn't follow that order. So officers trying to fight on a battlefield that was tenuous. at best, tried to save and conserve their fighting force in a naturally trained, as they were trained in the environment to do. They were executed. And then the Jewish commissar took over who had no clue was a bumbling idiot and lost the rest of whatever the officers had saved. So at the end of the first part of the invasion headed towards the winter, Russia was hockey pucked. You know what Russia had to turn to and because of it their doctrine after World War II did not change and still really hasn't changed too much. The invention of mortars of all sizes and class replaced traditional mechanical artillery. mortars of all sizes because they could be built faster, they were cheaper, and it could be really crude. You can screw up because it's like an artillery piece. It's supposed to kind of create a barrage anyway. You're not trying to create something that's going to drop one round on top of the other. You want dispersion. You want a cone of destruction on the ground, an area of destruction. So mortars were the first thing and then to a degree, recoilless weapons on all sides were being developed very, very quickly. And recoilless is very forgiving also when it comes to manufacturing. Now, for anybody who thinks recoilless rifles are obsolete, then obviously nobody's been paying attention to the fact that the Marine Corps has the Carl Gustaf. And the Carl Gustaf, by the way, is about a 55-year-old recoilless rifle. Now, I think it's really weird with regard to that why the US military is by that stinking Karl Gustav, but we didn't maintain the American 90 millimeter recoilless rifle made here in the United States, designed here in the United States, and as fully reliable as the Karl Gustav. But we had to buy that B-witch piece of crap from overseas instead of maintaining the American weapon system of the same basic caliber and with the same performance level. Well, we had to get rid of that American gun. But those recoilless weapons be they the 57's 75's 90 millimeter 105 106 and hell they even did a 107 why that was back when we had more money than brains And we just built all kinds of goofy stuff all at once there the 106 became the M 106 became the standard though for the heaviest or heavy Anti tank weapon category of recoilless that we kept in service And each of the recoil has had full potential for everything from anti-tank to HE. So it was a rounded out system that could be used for direct fire or it could be used for indirect fire. So it's really the recoilless weapons and the heavier categories which are very, very, very easy to build. If you take, that's why they don't dwell on stuff. You don't get any information on this. Rockets, rockets are not reliable. You can build rockets, but there's a lot of chemistry involved there. A mechanical system typically will be more reliable for the troop in the field. The more sophisticated a piece of equipment, the less reliable it will be under true battlefield conditions. The only thing that, you know, again, some things are really cool. I think, I'll tell you what, I thank the can industry for making some of the best grenade hulls that we've ever had available. All of these soup cans and different cans that are out there, there's three different designs out there, but the one, which is the most common, if you'll notice, is an extruded bell-type can. The base is rounded, the top is the only side you can open, and it has, many cases now, it has a zip lock. Well, what's really cool is that makes for a very reliable and very, very uniform Sealed system. I only have to figure out how to cap the top of that can Mount the fuse and I have a pre built by the American well Chinese can corporation Grenade body now I could use any can in the world that I can use aluminum cans But these sheet metal steel cans that are out there Oh, they're the best stink and improvised grenade body you could possibly ask for because you can get them in different sizes If you want to do a lighter charge HE anti-personnel with fragmentation internally, they're easy to adapt. So again, lots of resources out there. And again, the important thing is quality control. The better you are at maintaining higher standards, which is something they've tried to destroy in America. Well, they could do it half-assed. After all, I got common core math. I don't even know how to do math. You stupid. In reality, if you go by American gold standard with regard to your production process when it comes to either hand building or building in what would be limited industrial production, but with improvised resources, maintaining the highest in cleanliness, in quality control standards, ensures that when it gets to where the rubber meets the road, where the soldier has to, you know, light the fuse, pull the pin, touch the trigger, it's gonna go off. See, that's the most important thing about quality control. The Vietnamese made grenades in the field from dropped 500 pounders and 1,000 pounders that didn't go off. They used the charges on the inside. They also took the steel bodies and either used them to make fragmentation or they actually had kilns in the field and they melted down and made cast grenade bodies. Yes, they went that far. They actually had little kilns. You can see variations on this, by the way, if you go to YouTube, shows you anything you want to know about casting, and they built their own grenades. The reliability issue that caused problems with those grenades going off had to do with the environment because of the work environment that they were in. What I say earlier, we're talking about Vietnam. High moisture, high heat. The most important thing is high humidity. So anything and everything that they cut open was already being cross contaminated with moisture. Moisture kills, especially, well it creates, again, it may just be another introduction of a separate molecule that you don't really need. H2O, you don't really want or need with anything that is a pyrotechnic. So think about it. That was one of the reasons that if you read guys fighting in Vietnam, that somebody is throwing a grenade at them, maybe most of the time the grenade would go off. But as things got dicey for the Vietnamese, improvised grenades, only one in three might go off. Well, part of the reasoning was based was again, the people who were building them originally probably had the baseline experience of understanding how to maintain quality control over the munitions, over the products that they were using. Some people didn't have that working knowledge and understood the basic idea, but they didn't know about the maintaining quality of the product to ensure detonation and activity with the weapon after it's been built. Remember, prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance. So yes, be high works just fine and all those other weapons, discarding Sabo or solid shot Sabo could be built for anything else you have in the way of a tube. Now remember, here's the other cool thing. You don't have to worry about rifling with a discarding Sabo round. In fact, that 73 millimeter main gun on the BMP was a smooth bore. Making it cheaper to build When the BMP one came out it was an innovative idea for the day It's there's still a lot of them in service most of them are now BMP to modified Instead of the 73 millimeter gun on the roof. Although there's been a bunch of them fighting in the Ukraine on both sides For good knowledge, my name is Craig if you're listening and let's see what we got 22. Got some ideas of topics out here today. I've been back on the air since DragonCon got back a week ago. I was actually still traveling on the day of my show. So I really didn't want to pull over and stop and everything. Plus I was feeling kind of bad. I picked up something when I was there. I don't know what it is, not really important. I'm not going to go test myself for COVID or anything. Maybe that's what I got. And if I do, it's probably the Kodachrome variety, whatever. It doesn't really matter. I got it. It's the flu or whatever. Not feeling too bad at all. Although that day I was, I was having trouble eating much and alternating between hot and chills, you know, that kind of thing. And now I'm basically down to just a sore throat and a cough. That's basically all I got. So I don't know what I got. Back in February of 2020, I did have some sickness that I don't know what it was, but I'm kind of assuming it was the corny virus. But at that time, there was supposedly no cases in the US yet. The first case didn't come out to about a week or two after I had mine. Nobody they weren't testing either. They weren't testing anybody unless you just came back from Wuhan China They weren't testing anybody. So anyway, I got something again and probably the corny virus whatever I don't I don't have the vaccine not gonna get it never did never will And then but I knew I'd get it someday, but we're all gonna get get it someday No matter how hard you try you will get it someday. This is gonna be in a different stream The Spanish flu is still with us after more than 100 years. It's just in different strains. It just keeps mutating. And that's what you'll end up getting this too. The thing that supposedly is killing everybody and whatever you were wearing a mask for and destroyed our economy, et cetera, et cetera. So anyway, Dragon Con was a pretty good show. Well, it's actually a good show. The best one of the year, but that's not saying much since I've only done a few shows this whole year. No more hearing sirens from a town nearby here. No, uh, uh, not Creek anymore. And the only, the only shows that I really have the whole year, uh, any since the pandemic was not Creek when they finally brought it back, which is now done with, and then dragon con, which is a once a year thing. Both of those you had to, you, you're the waiting list to get tables. And, uh, and then I've got, I still do the Indianapolis show. And I've got that coming up, I think in November. This is November or December, I don't know which, I'm not too concerned about it yet, so it's a couple months away. So there's no shows. So we stopped doing, pretty much stopped doing shows ever since the pandemic hit. Update on what's happening in the world as far as the fear-mongering goes, because as a lot of you know, they've listened to me a long time. When the pandemic hit, the sales of gas masks went crazy. And that very easily took up the shows, no more shows, but I was just working full time offline basically. For quite a few months until I basically started running out. And I'm almost out of gas masks. The only thing I have left right now I think is small French gas masks. That's all I have left, pretty much. Then also the sales of freeze-dried food. Also went nuts because a lot of people thought at the time that they were not going to be going to the grocery store or anything. They were going to avoid people completely and they were going to stay at home and live off of freeze-dried food. Well, no, you didn't have to do that either. And the sales of water filters also increased, but I also had flu pandemic kits. And anyway, I had a lot of business two and a half years ago. Then about seven months ago, Adolph did his thing and my sales of radiation detection equipment went pretty crazy for a while. Bottom of the month it persisted, but then it's dropped off and there really hasn't been much I get maybe like one order a week now So I set two out today, but basically people aren't as fearful anymore of the whole the whole nuclear thing of it Even with this zaporegia nuclear power plant now There are a couple of things that I'm going to backtrack just a little bit to go back to freeze-dried food because I want to read to you I Sold out completely a mount house now I still have some wives. Mount House isn't even available to me anymore right now. Let me read to you if I'm finding the right button to push here. Read to you what Mount House has told the dealers. Because when I go to dealer portal, and they have, ever since the pandemic basically, I have not been able to order Mount House. It's more two and a half years not been able to order Mount House. And I'm going to read if I find the right, okay, well I had it brought up and now I don't see it. There it is. Mount House support. So every once in a while I'd write to them, hey, what's going on? The dealer portal is blank. And here's what they're saying to your retailers. As we promised in our last communication, we want to provide you with a status update of Mountain House brand so you can make plans for the remainder of the year. As we enter the summer months, this was a couple months ago, as we enter the summer months, we continue to experience the same challenges that we were experiencing when we communicated with you in early April. Demand across all of the market segments we serve continues to be high, while at the same time we are faced with a labor shortage. To give a little more context on the labor shortage, Oregon Freeze Dry, which is the company that makes my own house, I visited them back in 2017, by the way. Oregon Freeze Dry is located in a small city with many local manufacturers in California buying for the same employee pool which creates an incredibly competitive labor market. We have a very large distribution center near us along with two other manufacturing companies within walking distance of our facility. Because we are a small city, the labor pool is limited which makes hiring and retaining labor very difficult. We have been working to overcome this challenge through a variety of tactics, including company-wide initiatives to improve production efficiencies, along with creative ways to attract and retain additional employees. I want to assure you that these initiatives are the company's most important focus. However, all these initiatives take time to show results. Based on the current situation we find ourselves in, we do not foresee anything changing for the balance of the year that will allow us to restart the dealer portal. This is not the update we were hoping to share with you. Your business is very important to Oregon Freestride and we want to bring our dealer portal back online as quickly as possible. We have looked at every other option possible that might change this outcome and it comes back to our labor. We will continue to monitor or meet and discuss the situation weekly. Our focus will continue to be to get to our dealer portal back online again with full inventory for all of our retailers. So that's it. Mount House will not be available to me for sounds like the rest of the year. It's been that way now for two and more than two and a half years. Now, Mount House is not out of business. They, I know they have military contracts and probably they're fulfilling them, but they're not selling basically and the website, you can go and you can buy pouches and cans off their website. They have a very limited selection right now, but you can buy them off their own website, but they aren't supplying their dealers with the food. So. That's the situation. I've been hearing some conspiracy theories about food not being available. I just read to you what Mountain House has been telling all the dealers. It doesn't seem to be that they don't have food. It's just the fact that they haven't been able to make the product like they want to. So anyway, and then going back to now what I was talking about, radiation, what Adolf is doing in Ukraine. And of course, we've seen some movement on the Russian side, which is quite different than what we've seen here in the last seven months. Where there actually seems to be their their retreating? Use that turn lightly because just to think that Ukraine is winning is probably not quite accurate. I Think it's probably more I think it's probably more that the Russian supplies have been To the fact that they want can't even continue to hold their troops together anymore up in the front lines and probably they're after having the Backpedal a bit to try to maintain what they have without losing completely So I think it's more of dumb luck than anything from the Ukrainian side. I'm not trying to favor either side here. Both sides are lying to us with propaganda. And that's what I want to talk about with this Zaporizh nuclear power plant. And I did touch on this last time I was on the air, but I needed to go one more time because now the situation has changed a little bit. The press has been fear mongering this for about a month now because there's been some shelling going on around the plant. And as I pointed out last time, no, it's not that, of course, Ukraine is blaming it on Russia and Russia is blaming it on Ukraine. But in actuality, it has to be Ukraine that's doing the shelling to their own plant because, frankly, Russia doesn't want... But neither side wants a malt down, okay? Neither side wants that plant destroyed. Think about this, this is a multi-billion dollar asset that takes decades to build, and they don't want to turn it overnight into a multi-billion dollar liability, meaning the plant shut down with nuclear leaks and all the problems that have been entailed with that for the next many decades, clean it up. So neither side wants that plant destroyed. And frankly, anybody who knows even the slightest bit about munitions today would know that you can, if either side wanted to destroy that plant, could have been done a long time ago. Maybe not the reactors themselves because of the heavy containment vessels, but certainly supporting infrastructure. Not only the lines going into the place like they have been attacked, but also pumps and piping and so much other with the precision munitions we have today There's no way that plant could have survived if either one of it either one of them wanted them wanted it destroyed Right and that kind of obvious but no the press wants to make it believe and so Rinsky the biggest liar at all trying to get people to believe that that plant is being bombed by Russia and That NATO and you and need to go in and do something about it. You know, give us all these weapons, which we have been you've been Kindly giving them your tax money all these weapons that they've been using on Russia keep us out of a war that we're already in basically and He's complaining, you know, give us give us all of your all these weapons and then okay now take our take this plant back for us, please and to do that we're gonna lie and we're gonna say that Russia's bombing it and we're gonna scare the world to think that Something's gonna happen to that plant and the whole world will be feeling the repercussions of it, which no, that won't happen. There's no repercussions, even if the plant is bombed, there won't be any repercussions to the rest of the world. But that's what Zelensky wants you to believe, and he's just playing the fear monger in college, just like all the press does. The press has been recording this infinitum here the last month or so about how the world is in danger, the world is in danger, and frankly, what Zelensky is doing, he's trying to get data involved. Now, Russia, of course. They're barely winning against one country. If you now introduce 32 countries into this mix, Russia doesn't want that. They're barely winning against one country. Are they going to win against 32 countries? No, Russia is not bombing the plant. Plus they have personnel there. So does Ukraine. What they're doing is, what Ukraine is doing, is they're bombing around the plant. The press is not right there. They're at a distance. They're looking through their binoculars or whatever, or looking on Google Earth and trying to see whatever they can or whatever information they get. And they're claiming it's being bombed. Well, okay, they're bombing around the plant. They're not hitting the plant. They're purposely missing it to make it look like it's being attacked and the world needs to be feared about what's going on over there. I'm not fearing over it. And neither is most people because frankly, I have my pulse on the American people's fears because they would be ordering for me. If people were definitely scared of this, they would be ordering radiation detection equipment. And they are. I really see no increase in the last month since the sphere mongering has started regarding this as an operation nuclear apartment. So you shouldn't be fearful either, even if the place is bombed, if it melts down, that these containment vessels are designed to... maintain to hold that radiation to keep it from becoming a big problem outside the plant. That's what those containment vessels are. They've made a very fixed fuel and concrete. You're not going to penetrate them with a standard artillery or rocket. It's just not going to happen. You could still have a meltdown by losing power of the plant and so on. But the melting of the fuel would be basically still contained within the container vessel. And that's also why Fukushima had no injuries or deaths. is because it melted down, but everything pretty much stayed within the containment vessel. Very little got outside of the plant. And that's the way it was designed. And when they try to compare it to Chernobyl, that's a very, very inaccurate comparison, because Chernobyl had no containment vessel. And Chernobyl was basically built in a damn tool shed. Old Soviet technologies are in BK reactors, and they've melted down, and it has nothing to keep it from going to the outside. And that's why with Chernobyl, they had to build these The first one they call a Sertophagus, which is basically they buried the thing under concrete. Then that's deteriorating, and here some years ago, a few years ago now, they've completed another newer containment vessel which moves on rails to go over the whole plant, big dome, big arch. Because they had no containment vessels, you had to build one later. What's happening at the plant now, according to the IAEA, which visited here about two weeks ago, and did leave some personnel there so we get a little bit of information on what's going on inside the plant. And now all six reactors are in shutdown mode, which is a good thing because, frankly, now if there is a problem, it's a lot easier to manage. Because the reactors are not live, they're just basically idle. Now you still have to cool these reactors. The fuel is still hot and you still have to have cooling water and you still have to have the cooling system running in order to keep from melting down because they still can melt down. If that cooling water were to stop completely, they could certainly melt down. And right now, on and off, we've seen power discontinued to the plant. On and off. Right now, they say they have two of the outside lines now. reinstated. It's a good thing that the plants are now offline and hopefully they don't try to restart them until all this nonsense is over with in Ukraine. Because as each day goes by those reactors become safer and safer at some point months down the road all those reactors would be at what they call cold shutdown state which meaning they wouldn't even need the the cooling water anymore at some point. It would take quite a while but it takes months until they get to that stage. So they aren't there yet, but they are shut down and every day that goes by that the things cool down more and more and it becomes safer and safer from any kind of meltdown. But again, meltdown isn't the concern. Probably the only concern right now because they also have backup generators, backups to backups. And if the power to the outside world gets cut off like it has already in the past, the diesel generators kick in and the cooling systems are still functioning until such a point when they have no more diesel fuel to run those pumps. So there's still somewhat of a danger, but it's still not going to be a danger that would affect the world. And Zorzki was playing that fear card and nobody was buying it, apparently. Because even the US and France and England and some other country, Canada, there were only four countries that met to discuss it. And I'm sure, even though I don't have the intelligence to know anything different than what I can... to kind of figure out on my own. The US military and other countries do have more intelligence than we do and I do and satellite imagery and so on and they can see what's going on and so they don't have to worry about Zielinski. The only thing now is if something is done because of the plant then it was planned off in the beginning. and Zelensky playing his card wisely by trying to get the general public of the world fearful of what's going on there to insist that other governments do something. But our government and other governments know damn well that what I said is true and that there's not a great danger there of that becoming a big radiological issue. What would be more of an issue and it's still not that great of an issue and it's never happened in world history. is the spent fuel pools. The spent fuel pools are, it depends on, well there's pools and then there's casks, the dry casks. When the fuel is removed from the reactor to refuel, it's also still hot and it needs to be kept cool. Not to any stage, there's anything, basically it's just in pools of water. Like big swimming pools that they're submerged in. And usually they have about 15 to 20 feet of water on top of the rods. And that's your shielding, that's all you need. Now usually these fuel pools are, underground, like in ground swimming pools, they're in buildings, not in the open, but they're not hardened vessels. In other words, a bomb could go through one of these build a bear and tool sheds in essence. So you could bomb those. The thing about it is though, and you still need to use a little bit of pumping, but it is such a low level of cooling needed that even a bucket brigade can handle the situation if they had to, you see. Then even if you were to try to bomb it, it would be being underground, even if you do break the the pool, crack the pool and you get leakage, it's not likely to, it's going to be a relatively low leakage event where it could be refilled fairly easily, you see. So, and that's never happened in world history where one of these have failed to the point where we have a meltdown outside of the reactor. And then the dry casks, after they remove them from these pools, they only store them in the pools for about five to ten years. and they're cool enough then they can be put in dry casts which are basically huge containers where they put the rods in and they're surrounded by concrete and steel and these containers that are used can be used to ship across the country when they decide what they're going to do with them and but they're basically they can be sitting outside at that point just out in the open in these containers and these containers are strong enough that your standard artillery isn't going to really harm a meter Even if it did, it would be like a dirty bomb. It wouldn't be a meltdown type thing. Because they've already cooled to the point where they don't need any cooling. Okay, I think I've covered those bases here. I think what else is in the news here real quickly. Of course, we're looking at a potential rail strike. And I guess the big difference between the truckers and the rail is the rail does have federal oversight. because the rail, the lines are considered infrastructure, they're monopoly basically. And critical infrastructure, the rails, because not every company has competing lines side by side. It's just one side of rails basically for the whole country. Whereas trucks, truckers are a different story where they don't need, they're using the same roads, but there are so many companies out there that the unions and government doesn't have to get involved in the case of truckers the same way. So I'm not too concerned about that, but already they're fear-mongering that like crazy. Like we need any more supply line problems. I mean, frankly, here we are more than two and a half years later after the pandemic. And anybody listening to my voice has seen this in the stores. There's still supply problems. You still go to stores and you see some things that are just not on the shelves. Okay, why are... Cracker is so hard to get or whatever this gets why are these things so what's what's the problem here? And our supply our country still hasn't recovered from this. Why is this what's going on? And now if we get a rail strike is going to be even worse Well, we've hopefully we've seen the worst of it, but boy this and then microchips to build cars and other appliances Our system has not recovered from us And the virus is still there, but and there's still some places that I see that want you wear masks. That's kind of crazy. But here we are. Almost three years later, and some places are still wanting to wear masks. I don't get it. Yeah, okay. So I got it. I got sick. I may have the cornea virus. I don't know what I have and letting you even test myself. Doesn't matter. I got sick and I'm all recovered. That's pretty much the end of it. Not even interested in seeing what variety of the flu or whatever I have. And it will always help you if you get the cold. If you had just a common cold since this all started because if you did everybody thinks you got the corny virus. It's like, any sickness you get, it's like you automatically have the corny virus. And then you're now a pariah, right? Oh, I'm sure I picked, I mean, here we are at DragonCon and we put, you know, there's 60,000 people or whatever to come through the door. And we didn't have to wear masks. What happened this year is it wasn't as bad as the previous year. And frankly, this year, There were probably 10 to 20% of people that weren't wearing the masks like they were supposed to in the buildings. But we had, everybody's supposed to be wearing the masks. As a vendor, I had to cut after where I wore the mask to kind of have to, otherwise I could end up getting kicked out of the show. But somewhere, of course, the masks won't stop the virus anyway. Anyway, I got sick. Everybody said too bad. As far as I know that... Some people wanted an update on that. The show was good. At the dealer side of things, everything was good for me and the other dealers. I really didn't hear any complaining and the attendance seemed up. But this year I did go after the show and go into some of the hotels. What the DragonCon, the whole of downtown, turns into this massive party, essentially. In all the major, there's five hotels that sponsor this downtown. We're talking about downtown Atlanta. We're not talking about little hotel lobbies. We're talking about the Marriott and the Westin and these big hotels that have multiple levels of lobbies. Hundreds of thousands of square feet of people walking around. And this year, I did go out to show, I didn't last year at all, just because I had other things going on. I didn't. It's kind of pain in the butt to have to go to walk to those where I was staying and walk to those places. Anyway, they're not staying in my van, but have to walk quite a few blocks to get there. And then you can't even enter these places about this pass, this DragonCon pass, which basically cost the person attending. They pay over $100 for these passes for the four days. I think about $160. Anyway, what I did notice was less people and less of the intricate costumes. Every year previous to these before the pandemic, I've been doing this for about a dozen years now. Every year I try to go out there once, at least one of the nights, usually Friday night and Saturday night, and the big nights where there's all kinds of people out. And so everybody was walking around looking at everybody's costume. And the intricate costumes, the ones that people spend a whole year preparing for, there weren't as many of them. There just weren't as many. I'd say about one-fourth of what normally. And the attendance seemed to be down to, I'd say about half, based on what I was saying. This is just a rough guess based on what I was seeing in hotels. Before I was shoulder to shoulder bumping around trying to move and you're you know trying to go with the flow of traffic and everything's not moving because somebody up there is taking a picture and that's what people do they take picture that people with the fancy costumes stop to pose and then they take a picture and then they can continue move on so everything moves real slow and This wasn't as many costumes any of the intricate as many of the intricate costumes they or inside the the halls either where I was I wasn't in world hotels I was in a a huge building that has four levels, there's nothing but vendors, and they come there, but there just wasn't as many other costumes that I'd normally see. But next time, my own personal perception. So, seeing like the attendance was down, the money is still good for me, so I have no complaints, and I did sign up for next year, even though I probably shouldn't have. But the show is worth it enough to go, and it's interesting, it's a break. What's more interesting than a gun show? Sorry for the people who like gun shows, but gun shows, I've done hundreds and hundreds of gun shows and sci-fi shows don't compare to gun shows. They really don't. Okay, whatever I talk about here, somebody wants to call in and talk, I got up another half hour ago roughly. I wanted to finish part of the topic I was covering before because I kind of ran out of time talking about energy and what's going on in California. And with the proposal that now no cars will be, no gasoline powered cars will be sold by the year 2035. Another 12, 13 years away. And supposedly now we're going to have all electric cars, electric cars and or hydrogen vehicles. I don't have any personal experience with hydrogen. I studied it quite a bit. I have no personal experience with hydrogen. Hydrogen, the big problem, well, the part of the problem with both of them, of course, is infrastructure. Do we have the infrastructure to do this? Well, in California, they do have some hydrogen refilling stations that you can buy a hydrogen car today. I think Toyota is one of the ones that makes them. I can't remember. I think there's two or three companies that do make them that the public can buy. And there are places in California you can fill these up now. I seriously doubt there's hardly very many places to fill such vehicle up in most of the rest of the U.S., but that's probably to come. But anyway, hydrogen is, it's a fuel that burns. It can be made from, right now it is just made from fossil fuels. So you talk about zero emission vehicles, hydrogen cars and electric cars are not, if not it, they are zero emission vehicles. The only way there are zero emission vehicles, well, there is no way there are going to be zero emission vehicles. The fossil fuels have touched not only the production of the car, but the production of fuel all the way up and down. And even if you start making all the fuel from wind or solar or something of this nature, That's been touched by fossil fuels all along the way too, and the infrastructure just doesn't work without fossil fuels. And that's something that California is failing to acknowledge with the nonsense that they're pulling here with this legislation and that other countries or other cities or other states may follow suit. There's a number of states that are thinking about doing the same damn thing, trying to ban the sale of gasoline cars. But the grid in California is not in trouble. As we heard last week where the Newsom was Okay, you gotta buy electric cars in 13 years. Oh, but by the way, don't charge up your electric cars because our grid is in trouble and you need to turn up your thermostat and try not to do anything taking a lot of power during this. period of uncertainty with the grid, which will be here and forever. This is not anything that's going away. They're making it worse, and they always have been making it worse. It's not going to get better. You've got to have a grid that's about 30% larger in order to make this electric car mean work. The grid in California, and a lot of the country, in fact, is already stretched to the limit. We already can't handle the country going to electric cars. Now, when we're talking about 2035, we're only talking about the sale of new vehicles. We're not talking about, at least not yet, they're talking about banning gasoline powered vehicles. Gasoline or diesel powered vehicles. In fact, there's no way you're going to make that happen because the groceries in your store and the trains and the planes and everything else is still going to have to use fossil fuels. There's no electric technology that's up to the task in order to power our world. with electric trucks and buses and planes and so on. Hydrogen has more potential than that because of the energy density compared to electric. But battery powered trucks and buses and so on are just not going to cut it. Not until there's a major change in the technology. So there's no way they're going to be able to completely ban trucks and buses. Okay, so what size truck qualifies as the pickup truck? Because they were saying cars. Does that also mean light trucks? And what's a light truck? If you get a one and a half ton, does that mean you can buy a gasoline powered one in California in 2035? I don't know the answer to that. I haven't studied all the details of their proposal. But it's not looking good for anybody who, well, anybody who wants to build a car, to balance with you. Because frankly, now what's going to happen is, okay, we already know electric cars are quite a bit more than gasoline powered cars, the infernal combustion engine. Well, you know, it's your base prices and neighborhood of 50 grand, right? 40 grand, 50 grand, something like that. And if you will get one with the features you want, you have Joe, we're going to walk away with 60 grand. I don't know. I'll never be able to afford that. I don't know about you, but I don't, I'll never be able to afford that. They say, well, the price will come down on the part, you know, things will get cheaper as a goal. Well, no, they won't. Electric cars will not get cheaper. Here's why. The price of the car itself probably is already on par with gasoline powered cars. But the problem is the batteries. The batteries take a whole lot of energy. The zero emissions thing is completely false from the get-go. But depending on how you power them, you'll have lower emissions. If you're getting all your electricity from coal-fired sources, higher sources of electricity, then it's generally going to pay off in the so-called green effect in about three years. In other words, If you own that car for three years, it will become more efficient after about three years than if you would have bought a gasoline powered car. Now if that's making enough sense, if I've said that right. The offset of the carbon emissions, basically after about three years, now with other sources of natural gas, I think it's more like a year and a half, two years, something like that, depending on the source of the energy. that you're deriving your electricity from depends on how green your car actually is. In other words, they are a little bit greener than internal combustion engine cars. Not much, but they are slightly better. And the price of the fuel, meaning electricity in this case, in today's market share, is also going to be a little bit less with electric versus fossil fuel car. Now, there's a lot of caveats to all that because Okay, the batteries are what's the big hold up with electric cars. Battery technology has improved a bit in the last 20 years. Your cell phones use the same type of battery that electric cars essentially use, which is lithium ion batteries. Specifically, let's use electric cars. Now, there's a lot of potential technologies on the market. None of them are market-wide yet. Time will tell if there's any change, but it's essentially the chemical battery that's used in electric cars probably really changed much in more than 200 years. To be frank with you, it's got a little bit more efficient, and a lot of scientists are thinking that the chemical battery is pretty much at its limit, like we're really not going to get anything more out of it. So something completely different might be needed to make this whole thing work with electric cars. Back in the day and... I just wanted to chime in there about the battery thing. You hit part of it, but also the lifespan on these batteries when you're doing the quick charge, which a lot of the owners of these vehicles do, you dramatically shorten the lifespan of the batteries when you do the quick charge BS. Now, if you don't let it sit and charge normally, they still have You have a decent lifespan, but the batteries are expensive to replace, especially when you've got to replace the whole bank of them. It's not like your car battery. When your 12-volt battery goes out in your car, you've got to go and get one battery for $50. Some of these vehicles have, on the high end, I think most types use 20 batteries in a bank in the back of one of these. vehicles and each battery cost something around $3, $400.00. Yeah, well, I know you're not that old ed, but boy, $50.00, I think you're way outdated. I think it's way over a hundred now. That will be the last time you bought a battery. But per car. I went low end, cheapest battery I could get for a F-150 truck, which was last year. It was about $50, $60.00 buying the Nome name brand from Oh, Home Depot. Okay. Well, I've been buying boy everything's like 120 130 now seems like for batteries for car size. But yeah, you're right. And the reason for that is heat battery. This type of value we're talking about. I bought a battery last fall auto zone for a Dodge Grand Caravan. It was 180 bucks. That actually was 150. We got a discount. through the truck, through the tow truck driver, we got his account at O'Reilly's actually. It was 150 bucks. So, all you got. Just adds to my point. You're talking about replacing a bank of batteries, instead of just one. Anyway. And when I had electric cars, well I still do have one electric car, but electric cars are all lead acid batteries and they're more expensive than the regular car batteries because the types of batteries that were in most electric cars back in the 70s, 80s, 90s were what they call golf cart batteries. And those batteries are 220 amp hours. They're generally about twice the size of a regular car battery and they were over $200 each basically. And you had to replace, and when you do replace a battery in an electric car, And this is this was how true with lead acid batteries as well as the lithium-ion batteries. It's the same idea is Let's break him high on I'm sorry that you have to basically replace the whole battery bank even if you have just one cell that's bad It's not a good practice at all. Just replace that one bad cell Very it's detrimental the entire battery pack unless you change the entire battery pack So that that's a really big disadvantage plus the fact that of course Tesla battery packs are the... I looked it up once and I've been hearing, like in the neighborhood of 20 grand, that we've placed a damn battery bank. And who's going to be able to even afford to use cars at that point when you go to buy an old car? Five, ten years from now when people are selling the Teslas, then there's some that do already sell them. And you have to really think about it a bit. And who's going to do people that are looking for back in the day when we buy a $300 meter and get the thing to run. Now we're talking about it. you know, a thousand or maybe several thousand dollar meter that's going to require a 10 to 20 grand to replace the batteries. And that's just not going to work. So the price of the cars will not come down because the price of the batteries basically will not come down because of supply issues. If you think there's a supply issue problem now because of chips and all that, just wait till the production of electric cars ramps up even more and we don't have the mining capability to keep up with demand in the worldwide market. nickel, cobalt, and lithium are some of the components that are needed for these. There's been a lot of talk about there not even being, not only the capacity right now, but not even the potential to have the capacity in the future in order to make this idea work where the world's going to be going to electric cars. So the supply problem is always going to be a problem and it's not going to bring the price down a battery, it's going to raise the price of battery. So at some point Most of the American people, and this may be part of the grand design, is that they are not going to be able to afford to have a private car. You may have to own a car with several other people to wear, okay, Wednesdays a day I get the car and I go on the line and punch it in, the car comes to me and then I'm using it and then for that day or that hour or whatever, then somebody else uses it or whatever, or some sort of nationwide thing where you just basically rent a car. And that's the kind of what's going to end up happening. Now, a lot of people say, well, I'll buy gasoline cars. I don't have to worry about that, because I'll make sure I have several gasoline-powered cars available to me. Well, that's not really going to work either, because the price of gas is going to be $20 a gallon at that point. Well, what's the price of gas? They can raise the price of gas, whatever they want, and then all of a sudden your whole idea of owning a car that you thought you'd be able to afford just ended because of the price of gas. Or some communities may even start making them outright illegal. I mean, this is the way our world is headed. I'm not saying this is a good thing, obviously. We're looking at the end of the personally-owned automobile at some point. That's the way it's eventually gonna because at some point only the rich will be able to afford these electric cars And you won't be able to afford the beaters Because if you buy it and try to fix them up unless you try to put a gasoline powered engine in them and some people were actually done that with Tesla's by the way, but They're looking at the end of a private car ownership Essentially, this is what's gonna happen in the long run. So you're not gonna get around it No matter how hard you try Unless you got the money You can spend $20 a gallon of gas or $100,000 for an electric vehicle. And who knows what the prices are going to be doing 13 years from now. That's kind of what we're looking at, folks. Now, California is in trouble with their grid for more reasons than one. But largely because of solar is one of the big reasons that they're trying to go all renewables. That's the new meme, you're trying to, all these greenies, they're saying, oh, we've got to get rid of fossil fuels. So what do they do? They're putting all these solar in and they've been doing this for more than a decade now in California. And now they've got a solar glut, and I talked about this briefly. Got to the point where, when the sun's shining, they have too much electricity. That's curtailed back all these gas plants and all the coal and all the other plants, but now they've got all this solar electricity that they even have too much of now. And because of the glut, they've actually had to pay Arizona to take the excess electricity during peak hours of the storm. Now, part of the problem with the glut is also, when electricity is generated, it needs to be basically utilized right then. They can't store it. I mean, it can be stored if we have the means to store it, but we don't. We don't have the infrastructure to store it and aren't likely to get it at any time in our lifetimes either until there's some kind of major improvement, some kind of quantum leap actually, not just an improvement, some kind of quantum leap in energy storing technology. And there's dozens of technologies out there that could be potential, but none of them opt for the task. None of them. We need a completely new invention. Batteries aren't going to cut it. Water isn't going to cut it. Gravity isn't going to cut it. Flywheels, capacitors, there's dozens of things, technologies we have for storing energy, but none of them that we have right now are going to cut it. They aren't going to do this. Here's something else California is going to do. We got pyramids. Pyramids? What's that? I'll call it? Ancient aliens. We got them pyramids. Oh, okay. Where are they? They're at the gas pump and we fill up with pyramid power. The aliens are going to bring that technology and they're going to put a pyramid over everybody's home. Okay, well, here's somebody else California did. I didn't have a chance to get into this. California is also now proposing, and I don't know if they've done this yet, I know it was proposed earlier in the year, to propose that anybody with new solar will have to pay $8 per rated kilowatt. In other words, you have a five kilowatt system on your roof, which is, the national average is about five kilowatts. If you have solar panels on your roof, that's the average, is 5,000 watts. You'll pay $8 per month per kilowatt. for the benefit of being hooked up to the grid. You're paying partly for the grid infrastructure, but they're also basically just trying to secretly... discourage you from putting solar on anymore. After all these years of incentives that they've been trying to get people to put solar on, now they're trying to discourage you from getting it. And here's something else that they're doing, which this is really unique too, and they've only tried it a couple times as far as I've ever read yet here so far, but California is now encouraging people to have their own battery banks, their own personal battery banks. Tesla makes something called a Powerwall, which is a fairly large battery. It's about the size of a refrigerator you leave in your garage. You can actually charge up your own battery bank. and then utilize that at times when their grid is 50 cents a kilowatt hour because typically the California charges I think 27 cents a kilowatt hour for for electricity during normal hours, but then during peak hours they're charging over 50 cents a kilowatt hour. It basically like doubles. That's the time they don't want to try to discourage you from using power because then they have to start up nuclear, not nuclear, they have to start up coal, coal fire, usually natural gas plants. They have to start them up in order to meet the peak demand because the sun's going down between the hours of four and nine or whatever it is. They don't have the solar there anymore and so now they have to start up all these other plants in order to meet the demand. which they haven't been able to meet. They can't meet with solar because they don't have a way to store it. And wind is extremely variable too. The same story there. When it's windy, it's windy, and when it's not, it's not. And you don't have the power. So at times you have too much power. All this solar and wind becomes a liability to the grid, not an asset. It really does. It becomes a big problem for the utilities to have to deal with this crap. Remember folks, I'm the guy who been doing solar wind electric cars most of my life. So I'm not against these things I'm just trying to get you the reality of what's really gonna come down with all this stuff But something else California's done now because people have been starting to put these battery banks in During pick hours instead of starting now instead of starting up another natural gas plant because it's that's rough on the plants. It's very costly And then they have to charge so much more for the electricity and trying to discourage you from using it so they don't have to do this But one thing they've tried now recently is they've tried all the people that own battery banks, they've signed contracts with them in order to allow PG&E or whatever utility in California that wants to try this, to draw off of their battery banks during peak hours to supply the grid and use for them at your neighbors. In other words, your battery bank becomes utility. They're buying it from those people at $2 per kilowatt hour. Well, let's see, so four times the going rate of the, well, 10 times the going rate, eight times the going rate of normal, but four times the going rate of during peak hours. The idea there is now they don't have to build more fossil fuel plants. They say they're going to go all green, right? We're going to go all renewables. So this whole idea now, okay, they're paying Arizona to take their excess solar energy. And then they're also now having to pay exorbitant rates for people in all these battery banks. And this is very damaging to these battery banks. And like Ed was talking, high heat, high draw, either charging or discharging these types of batteries is the big killer for them. Well, it doesn't kill them, but it reduces their lifespan. Heat is what helps destroy these batteries, shorten their lifespans. So now they're drawing off of these battery banks that people have installed in their homes. And these battery banks cost a lot of money. They are cheap. We're talking, you know, $15,000 or something like this for these battery banks. And the customer is allowing the batteries to be drawn, and the high heat will shorten the lives of the batteries. And they may not know this. A lot of the owners may not know this kind of thing. So that's what that's that's something in a good you're gonna start seeing around the country too as this whole electrical problem gets worse and worse Now that's not gonna save you either because again We're talking about lithium a cobalt and iron and nickel that we just don't have So in Michigan here You know if you don't have a net meter, which I don't You know, I used to have an analog meter And I fought like hell to keep it. And my analog meter would spin backwards when I was making solar. And it spun power off my bill. And now they've got this, you know, digital meter on that doesn't go backwards. So I pay when I'm putting power back out on that grid. Without that net meter, they're charging me for... Giving them my solar my energy for free. I'm using you though. What what is your rate? You know, I don't have a net meter Because they understand that they have our smart meters. They're not crediting me anything but charge well Power that I'm putting back out onto the grid. It works in most places. I can tell you that it what's competent. You have consumers energy I have TV. Yeah DTE, okay, I don't know how it works for DTE, but with consumer's energy, they have two rates. The rate that you pay in the power point to you, but you also have the rate going out, which is what they call avoided cost, which is lower than the rate that you pay normally. So they're making money off you by being connected to the grid and selling power back. Now, I would think DTE has a similar thing. I don't know if it's a utility, they have a... They have laws they have to go by I don't know what DT does that's that's basically the Detroit You have to have a net meter in order to get that you know that credit and I won't let them put a smart meter on my house That's the only way they'll do it. And so my meter doesn't have two readings. It only has one so when what I'm you know, making with my solar, it's acting as though I'm being, I'm using their energy when my energy is going back to them for free. When I had my analog meter, it spun backwards when I made energy. When it would back out on the grid, it spun backwards. Right, that's the ideal situation because then you're getting paid the same as what you paid. Exactly. So I had many months of zero payments. I mean, you know, I had no bill except every other month I'd have a $35 charge for having the meter. How big is the system you have, you know? It's just five kilowatts. Okay, the average. Have you considered, if that's the case and that's continuous, it sounds like the issue would be solved if you would get their smart meter, it sounds like. Right. But you're holding out because you don't like the smart meters for whatever reason. Correct. Okay. Well, I mean, if that situation, why even bother hook up to utility? Why not just have your system completely independent and hook up to a battery bank unless you can't afford that. I have batteries, but I just can't afford enough to run the whole house. I can, you know, I only got eight batteries when I, when we put the system in. And had I known what I know now, I would have gone bigger, but now we're all retired and we just don't have the money to fork out for that. Right, you would need one of those Tesla Powerwall. You need something on that, Nate, you'd probably have to spend about 15 grand to get a battery bank that would be sufficient for that size of system. Right, right. Had I known I would have had a battery for every panel. You know, and I only, I got 20 panels with eight batteries. So, well, yeah, it's a... The number of batteries doesn't really hit this, it's the, the amp hour capacity of the batteries. So, that is coming a lot of different times. I would suggest you try to get off grid completely in that instance, at least with your panels, because if you're on your roof and you're just given your energy and utility, what good is that? And as you probably know, and most people who get into the solar don't know this until they do get into it and find out the hard way, a five-kilowatt system, you aren't going to run an electric house off of that five-kilowatt system, especially in the wintertime. You might run it during the summer if you don't use air conditioning. And then you have something in the form of electric heating, if you don't have that sort of like electric dryer, electric water heater, or electric stove. That's one thing that people don't understand. If you get a five kilowatt system and you think you're going to get off grid, that's just not the case. Unless you have another source of energy to use for cooking, heating, and so on, you're not going to do that, especially in Michigan. In the summer, in the wintertime, you're going to be... We have natural gas, water heater, dryer, and furnace, but we also have a wood stove that heats the whole house. Yeah. And that's the only way you're going to do it with five kilowatts of solar panels on your roof, at least certainly in Michigan. So that's one thing that people don't understand. They think you're all gonna put some solar panels in the house and my bills will be zero. I'll be able to disconnect from the grid. And that's far from the truth, especially in the winter time. You're just not gonna do it. Very difficult to, in fact, you'll be very, very hard pressed to find anybody that is what they would really call off-grid. In other words, without having that actual source of fuel. Actually, Craig, in February, we've made some serious, you know, kilowatts. We make over 300,000 kilowatts in the month of February in the southern, some of Michigan. Well, in the summertime, in the wintertime, you actually will get a little more power. Right, in the wintertime, you'll get a little more electricity because the panels are a little bit more efficient and colder weather, if you can keep the snow off of them. That's another problem with Michigan. I put mine on a stand next to the house instead of on the roof. I got a swimming pool brush with an extension pole, telescoping pole, 16 feet tall, and I'm out there sweeping them panels off in the snow. So I get as clear as possible. I have here in Michigan, I can't do that there on the roof. I have to go up on the roof to clean them off. And basically, for- My niece put her system in with hers on the roof, and I saw those things covered in snow and ice, and I'm like, wow. And they don't even have battery backup. I'm like, that's not too smart. So I'm like, ah, when we do ours, we're putting them on a stand and we're going to have batteries. That was the only reason we got them, not to save money, but for when the damn power goes out, we got a generator, you know, that's silent. Yeah. Well, if you have the capability of using that electricity, but if you don't, then you really don't have anything. The thing about Michigan panels also, people put them on their roofs. for several reasons. Usually there's some advantages and disadvantages on the roof. First of all, they're higher up and you're going to have less of a chance, less likely of them being shaded by trees and such, depending on how far the trees are. Being on the ground, you have that a little bit more of a... An issue there with trying to keep them from being shaded because just being shaded a little bit even if you have just one panel shaded a little bit depending how they're wired usually that will I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked him through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. This 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free. intelligence report timer kirky sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east northeast and ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio dot org And we are on satellite. Want to say hi to all of our friends out there on the Marus and many other technologies as far as the floating transport units go that are on every ocean. And we are being heard on every ocean right now and inland through the satellite system as it's been established. And you guys are doing all the work. We're just providing the resource and the noise. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is the 14th of September. No way. Yes way it is. It is weapons Wednesday. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 old earth calendar. 2022 battle for the Republic. The dance of swords. Let the dance continue and we'll make that happen. So they thought yeah, yeah. Tonight there's a couple of pecker wood little pieces of gutter trash can originally they had purple hair. They're queer petals now they're FBI agents and you know guess what you know, Joe, we did man. No, we did. Yeah, you're talking to me. You know, we did. Oh, we we we ambush the pillow guy and a drive through burger place. We thought got it man. We thought got it. You know how limp risk did that sound? Bunch of B which you know, just heads up on that one. But anyway, the my pillow guy got attacked by the offense. Of course, he wanted his phone. Don't they want that for everybody? Mike Madel and important for everybody. Here's what we do just to have some fun. And I didn't come to you guys, but there's always somebody has something useful when they're when they're being attacked and they have a business. In this case, let's vote with you all and have some fun at the enemy's expense. MyStore.com has got a lot of stuff on it you might find useful and there's discounts all through the thing. I'm surprised how many actually there were. The price is pretty well where you'd expect the normal industry price to be on things, but if you have a unit code, a special service code, You get discounts. And in this case, for a lot of you that are trying to organize this way, it's Weapons Wednesday, they're shooting at you, chances are things come back the other way, somebody tags you, you gotta take care of it. For that reason, Blood Stop, which in real estate, you know, Quick Cloth is the commercial version that everybody's familiar with. Blood Stop is the brand and the title for the type that's available over at mystore.com. And if you use code L77 for your special discount code, L77, the price goes from about $65 a unit to $29.99. Now, this is for a series of quick-clop packets that are already pre-measured, already set up for use with an iFAC, okay, individual first aid kit slash immediate response kit, where all your compresses, your tape, your tourniquet all should be bundled up along with a couple of hemostats would be a good idea. There's different packages, different ways or belief systems. My attitude is a little extra won't hurt because it's not really going to be in the way, but it might be nice to have just in case you underestimated what you're going to get tagged with and how bad it was going to be. So anyway, over at mystore.com, they have Bleed Stop. It is $65 approximately if you buy at regular price. But if you use code L77, the price drops down to $29.99. So you really can't beat that, okay? And that's over at mystore.com. So they want to attack the pillow guy. Oi, I'm telling you, these guys are just so dynamically powerful. Oi, I'm telling you, first it was the attack on the soccer moms. Oi, but look how vicious we are. We are attacking soccer moms. I wish that the same Bette Faggots and Feds would go, I can think of Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati. I can take you to some neighborhoods right now. Why don't you just go puff up on somebody like you who beat witches did with the pillow guy. and watch and see how many homey fry bullets you get put in your ass while you're busy trying to thug up on someone. See, that's why they go after the taxpayer. They go after the producers. They ain't going after the rats. They're not going after the parasites. They're going after the people that they know, well, the white bread and America is just going to let everybody just keep pushing over on them, okay? So they feel safe about it. And then they're all puffed up on themselves when they go back from the sycophants go back, you know, the parasites go back to their little enclave and flap their yap amongst themselves about what they did today. You know, cut her trash. So anyway, a couple other things here real quick. We were talking about using different pieces of equipment to create muzzle loading whatever. As far as artillery, cannon, etc., etc. And I've also talked about recoilless, that's a different category altogether in terms of what you do to get it done, but not any more complicated. It's no more or less sophisticated than muzzle-living cannon or mortars. Mortars are incredibly crude, really. No matter how sophisticated you make them, The basic idea of the mortar is as simple as simple could be. Muzzle loading guns obviously the same. As far as types of charges or types of projectile which you want to use, don't forget if you're building a series of impromptu broadside type guns, you know, in other words, I'm not talking about like a ship, but we call it a broadside because You do a bunch of short tube wheeled howitzer for close quarter use. Actually, it wouldn't be wheeled, it could just be blocked. But something about two, maybe three feet long, maybe a six or eight inch bore. Everything's put together, it's crude, rude and simple. When you load that, I talked about ball bearings, and there ain't that many ball bearings laying around. Lead shot, yeah, you can find stuff. But here's the thing. Guys, gravel, I mean gravel, I'm not just talking dirt, I'm talking washed gravel. Broken glass from damaged cars. Okay, you got cars all over the place, there's wreckage. You see how the safety glass beads up into little squares? You load that up into a bundle, you make a pile of that, you put whatever kind of charge you have, black powder charge or whatever behind it. And when you touch it off, it's just a big but shrapnel producing shotgun. But it's a very effective way to deal with problems. Plus, it's cost efficient. You're using junk, wreckage, and debris. I like to save up nuts, bolts, screws, nails, rivets, anything that is absolutely junk. Now, if I have to, I can smelt that. I get over to the kiln, I can smelt it. For as long as I have it on the shelf, I put them into a plastic heavy gauge. Basically, they're a water test sampler unit for drilling. The containers are perfect because they're all the same size. And I just fill one up and then I tape it off and then I start filling another one up and I tape it off and I fill another one. Now, if I throw that into a tube or dump it into a tube, putting what I need to do with it. Everything I need is already loaded up and it's chunks of bolts, rusty nuts, rusty rivets, chunks of metal off of other things, tiny pieces. I don't let any metal go to waste. It's all sitting there waiting to be used for something, especially when I get all this stuff from estate sales. I don't let anything go to waste that can't be used, but if it's just absolutely turning to rust or if it's shredded and broken to the point where it's just not functional. It's going into the frag bucket and when that frag bucket is full, the next one gets filled up and then the next one and then the next one. This way when the time comes for no extra time spent because I'm right up underneath the workbench whenever I'm tearing something apart or going through another box and stuff, it's just automatically category 13 right there. Category 13 right there. Category 13 right there. You can do the same thing. Now in a battlefield situation, car wrecks are great for all kinds of junk like that. But the safety glasses, the fastest, easiest thing to use for creating a horrific shredding fragmentation device using a muzzle loading gun or whatever you're going to do. If you've got lighter artillery, just as close quarter anti-personnel. But it's antique. Yeah, it was good for one shot. One big shot. Kind of like when they're coming through the door, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, and boom. What was all that thrashin' screaming out there? Oh, that's a whole bunch of alphabet soup types dying that thought they were gonna thug up on the pillow guy again. I ain't the pillow guy. And by the way, just let them scream on the front yard there for a while. There's others farther back. The radios are still working. Let them hear more of the screaming. So anyway, just an idea there. Simple technology, kiss, keep it simple, stupid. Study things that already exist. And ask yourself how complicated or how difficult would it be to slide that idea with minimal modifications or simplification and ending up with what you need with what you have to get the job done. Now, by the way, we're talking about SABO with muzzle loaders. Smooth bore or rifled wouldn't make any difference. But let me point out that a out of a muscle loading gun with a discarding Sabo round going downrange It could go through Bradley easily It would punch into don't even have to go through remember That's not your intent. The idea is to get inside and ricochet around and tear the soft chewy stuff up But anything lighter than that? It's going to go through. It's going to, it would easily penetrate. And it would not have to be tungsten carbide or titanium or whatever for the dart. The discarding SABO dart system could be made with a carbon steel. There's all kinds of the wicked materials that could be used. And the thing is, as I pointed out, when you have a bunch of vehicles in a column, what you want to do in line is you want to put that shot if you can't write down the whole line of vehicles. And it's curious to see how many will be penetrated before the round stops. Depending on if it's soft skinned, it's probably going to go through a whole number of them. It's purely a matter of how the energy of the round might be deflected by angles of steel, sheet metal, engine parts, suspension parts on vehicles. Everything has different physical effect, always remember that. So to a certain degree your path of penetration is going to be consistent, but at some point there's going to be less energy, progressively that's going to happen no matter what. And the round may be deflected or changed direction accordingly based upon the path of least resistance, which is true as with water and electricity, it is also true with projectiles in motion. So if something deflects it, it'll continue on, but as long as it can move along and still has energy to push it, it will continue to do its job. So especially, how do you use weapons like this? You plan. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Think through. Where's the best place for me to employ something like that? Now here's the thing, all of your other more sophisticated weapons, can be designed to support the teams that are using these limited systems because the limited system is a fire and then you're going to forget it. You're either going to fire it abandoned or fire and it's moving. Even as it's fired, the units actually being hooked up and pulled out of the area or moved with the vehicle that it's mounted on or whatever's going on. The other supporting technology like Barrett, 50 caliber guns, 50 caliber support rifles of any kind, other indirect fire weapons, rifle grenades. whatever you got is going to be creating additional disruption and contact. So this is part of where you have to understand the dynamic of a combined arms element. Be it the squad with its combined arms element of a sniper rifle or a heavy rifle, .50 caliber type of whatever grade. 40 millimeter grenade launcher or a Grenadier with a rifle grenade launcher, rifleman, and then a squad automatic rifleman, somebody designated to do volume fire. That's a combined arms team. Now, is it a combined arms with radically different applied tools in the toolbox? No, not so much as say the difference between that and infantry artillery and armor. But it's still a combined combat element and the basic science applies no matter whether it's the larger, bigger formation with bigger tools or the individual fireteam and squad. Always remember that. In fact, how do you develop the people that you need to do the other job? You have to start out somewhere. You have to start somewhere. And so again, step by step, those that can be developed have a comprehension. of how to employ multiple solutions, you know, different tools in the toolbox to accomplish the task. That's what you're developing in the way of skills. This is why you need to train with all of the tools that you have in the toolbox when you deploy. You don't have to be fired or launched, but you need to understand what is your task, what is your job as we deploy in an active environment. We're training right now. What do you do? How do you use the tool that you're carrying that's part of our tool, our battery of weapons, to get the job done and to do it in such a way that we continue to fight? It's not just point of contact and lose the engagement. The idea is that either we engage and proceed or we break contact and withdraw, we may just hold. But in each case, we have to understand that we continue to fight. And to fight effectively, you must become masters of the basics. Always remember master the basics anyway. Couple of things real quick. You know the 6.8 thing kind of is coming gone as being a big to do item and what I'm curious about is that they trying to play it down or did they realize some of the issues they've already been having with the 6.8 round and some of the things that kind of mess with it, which is the old, you know, what does it cost for the tungsten carbide to AP projectile again? When I heard that, I'm gonna point out something that in the last, let's see, this is to your 2022. In the last 137 or 38 years, every military or country that has embraced a tungsten carbide projectile, typically embrace it in peacetime. And they perfected the French, the British, the Germans. The Germans came up with a squeeze bore anti-tank round, anti-tank gun that before the war was the Cassimiel. There isn't anything that was driving at that time that that round couldn't go through. Unfortunately, the moment almost as quickly as war broke out, The weapon was restricted in use and within a very short period of weeks, a few months, it was completely withdrawn from service and relegated to be used as components for replacement for another weapon system. Every country that has embraced using tungsten carbide or anything as hyper special as that, especially for lower caliber. Now in this case, we're talking for an infantry rifle. That this supposedly the training round is a regular ball round. The combat round is the AP round. Well, since they're making both, do you wanna guess as to which one is most likely if you're an infantryman, you're gonna see almost all the time? It's the tungsten carbide rounds almost immediately would be withdrawn from service. Well, they'd be used up. They would but they would cancel production. This is what happened with the German gun. They simply said, okay, we built so many of them. We're fighting a war. We'll use them. But when we run out of it, in fact, as of this date, no more are going to be made. And let's go back to something cheaper that we can make lots more of. I was going to say, okay, too expensive. Yeah, just too expensive. When you can buy 5,000 shells for the price of 100 of the other shells, certainly, this is the thing about it, where the argument is always, yeah, it does a great job. It does everything. It's so perfect. It goes through everything. It does. It does. Okay. However, the problem is there's that again, the cost it's simply there's two things that kill an idea like this. Number one, two stinking grossly over complicated too many production steps and too much in the way of special tooling to do the job. And then the other half of it is the literal cost of materials because the materials that you've chosen are hyper specialized. Where is tungsten carbide? Where's tungsten normally used? In industrial application. It's used for tooling. Not just any tooling. It's especially critical for the machines that make machines. The tooling that makes other tools or makes machinery. Makes, you know, it cuts and, oops, metal, okay? So the problem that you have is this is a very specialized metal, a very narrow production metal, not available to most countries by the way. And again, with the dominant available amount of material of that type, that particular metal comes from Russia. Used to be from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, by the way. Many of the different metals are part of that big jut of metal that came up from the bowels of the Earth that is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I've mentioned this many times on the air, being from Michigan helps. It's a big slug of material that's come up on an angle from the lower surface of the Earth. And there's every kind of metal you can imagine there, which probably they're holding back in reserve anyhow, we're not using it. We have it on hand, it doesn't go bad, whatever's there. But iron, nickel, copper, Every kind of other base metal that you can imagine on foundational on, you know, it's on the elemental chart. Almost all of them are found in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan. But you know who has a superior standing to that? Russia, where the old blasted country is well, middle and western part or middle and eastern part are comparable to the composition of the Upper Peninsula, but across the whole of the country. Where's most of the titanium of the world? Guess what? It's in Russia. So, and that's not the only metal. It just, but because of this, this is why you have to prioritize. This is why non-strategic and also simplification. The other first part of the mention there is time. How long does it take and how many steps does it take? You want to build a system so you can absolutely minimize the number of steps necessary to end up with the final product. And this is where you get into a challenge. You guys might not remember it, but remember, I've told you many times that High Point got their basic pistol idea from HK. Everybody understand that? The High Point pistol came basically from the HK family of guns. You might recall the P-series of HKs that they came up with. The blowback, okay, semi and full-auto machine pistol. that they came up with in the 60s. About the same time the G3, HK91 came into service, the idea behind this gun was to minimize working parts and to minimize production time. Minimize, absolutely minimize. Crank something out so fast, you can like the Glock technically, which is why they bought the Glock, is the Glock is a punk and junk gun that was cranked out so you give them to the cooks. You give them to the baker, you give them to the truck driver, whatever. You got piles of them. You make them so fast and you make them so cheap that you can have a big pile, a big bin down at the end of the production pulling, you know, production, you know, line. They just drop into the box. You don't even worry about sorting them out. They just reach in, pull them out and give a guy three. Well, HK solution was to go with a blowback system of the type that basically you also see on the high point pistol and high point carbine. And what's interesting about this is that, again, the idea was how many machining steps. This was the brag about this design. How many machining steps were necessary to accomplish the task? And what were the total number of integrated parts that make up the gun? Now here's another interesting thing about that HK. You had a shoulder stock. The shoulder stock, when it's attached, is where the select fire control was located. So when you attach the stock, you create a select, you know, semi three round burst, full auto, machine pistol. That sounds more like what the gun sounded like because you used to be able to buy them just before the gun contract in 1968. A number of the basic handgun came into the country, that model. It also came into Canada. And for the longest time, a lot of them kept getting slipped from Canada south into the United States. So there's many, many, many of those that have been collected by people who liked HK, where they quietly acquired a pistol that you couldn't get in the United States after 1968, just as a heads up. There's a lot of them out there. It's like the Stenkin, the Russian. KGB slash Interior Police machine pistol that basically that's a conventional type of P 18. The Stentgen didn't come into the US but they could ship them into Canada and piles of them came south. with nobody worrying about administrative encumbrances, okay? So those are another interesting guns. You're gonna see on the battlefield. You'll see us carrying it. People got it because it was out there. And that is a select fire, again, with shoulder stock pistol. So they're around and about. I've seen many. And they're gonna continue to... Those will pop out of the woodwork about the same time everybody has to start sweeping these bastards off the front porch. Then that's just gonna be real quick. You know the street sweeper or broom the I guess what for a porch broom That's what you could call it a porch broom Anyway, the big thing here about real quick on high points before I go any farther. They're not cranking out anymore I thought you know was wondering about this they kept production at medium what I understand now I should say they just sustained production. The big thing is they actually even sustained some production during the coronavirus virus scam. However, the high points are still out there and everybody always asks me, well, what about a high point? Like I'm there expecting to be snide about it. The high point carbine is one of the high point pistol. Both of them are the most universal weapon you could put in a weapons cache, specifically. for future use in an uncertain world. Of all the weapons you could pick, why? Well, it's already been demonstrated by people who are trying to destroy the high point. If you can go out there and find the video, I think it's still in circulation, it's Man vs. High Point Pistol, part one, two, and three. Understand that the guys did a recorded study of the attempted destruction of a high point pistol. Attempted? In fact, no other weapons that are four times the cost could not have survived even the first third of what they tried to do to the high point pistol that didn't blow up. Glock would have shattered. That's why there's nobody says, well, I'll take a Glock and see if we can blow it up. It's not a doubt. There's no doubt about whether or not you can blow a Glock up. Because you might recall when the Glocks first came in there was an absolute limitation on ammunition types that were acceptable with the Glock and by God don't get any of the American stuff that was hot by another two or three hundred feet per second. You might be holding wreckage. Okay, it's just a heads up on that. Now, do I say Glocks are bad? No, buy Glock. No, everybody knows I always have to qualify that for the people right now are pulling your hair out. Shaking the computer because my god mark hates glocks. Oh, no, I love all guns. I love all I have to please. No, yeah How many can I get Okay, I don't have a problem with the Glock if I guess that if I was a pilot I was that was my secondary. MOS was as an air crewman What gets me about that is I would carry if I was in an air fight here I was in a an aviation unit if I if I were to fly as a militiamen right now, I'd carry three glocks I'd carry one in a shoulder holster, I'd carry one in the emergency bag, and I'd have one a little chubby stubby somewhere in the leg pocket. And I'd make sure that they were all the same caliber, and the magazines all interchanged between all the guns, and then I'd have a magazine stashed or in the down bag all over the place. I'd have them everywhere. Why? Well, if one gets broken or I drop it because I was hurt and I didn't realize my arms gacked up and I grab it and I fire a few times and the pain is so great I drop the gun like you see those bullshit movies. It's like well guess what? I just reached in the other pocket. There's the other Glock. Oh, and I still got magazines from the same stinking gun. Pock, pock, pock, pock, pock, pock, pock. I'm using my left arm because my right arm is messed up. See how that works? Now, go back to the high point though. The Glock can't do what the high point can do. There is no round. that exists that was able to blow up a high point. No round built in the caliber they were testing, and you can watch the video. He reads it off, and they fired a full magazine of each round in the weapon. What's that good for? That's the gun that you would, as I've said a million times, put into a cache. Why? Well, I'm gonna have so many rounds in the cache. I'll hopefully have them sealed. Everything ammo will all be safe for eternity. The gun's safe for eternity. But if I dig it up, I know the basic stuff I've got, and I wouldn't have any dirty hearing loads. It'd be standard, factory, 9 millimeter, 40 caliber, 45 volts, period. But I'm gonna run out of that eventually. And when I do, I don't know what I'm gonna run into crossing the battlefield or moving across country. I've got friends, guy goes, well, I got a couple of, I can load up a couple of your mags. I got some 9 millimeter plus P jacket at a hollow point. Is that safe with your high point? Sure, no problem, I'll take it. Why? Because we know beyond the shadow of a doubt the high point can eat it all day. But here's the thing, I'm not going to abuse the gun if I can help it. I mentioned before, I'll go middle of the road with most guns anyway. Revolvers, you got a little more work there in single shot pistols. Oh hell, I'd load it up in a dirty area. Here I am. Single shot is in the contenders and things like that. That's where you can tweak it. and make a really monster pistol load that, you know, we might as well be carrying a high-powered rifle. But the high point is the best utility under duress combat arm that you could, Kia could store. It's simple, it's easy to maintain, it's easy to understand. Magazines, everything is American. If you were worried about the idea that, well, what happens if nothing happens, Then you use the gun the way you normally would anyway, but as long as the company stays in business, there's a lifetime warranty on the firearm for everything. From a normal perspective, it's just a good utility service pistol to have around. And for most of you, I will repeat this again. If you're training militia right now, why are you wearing down your seven and $800 guns for familiarization when you can go buy a handful of high points? and a handful of magazines for each one. And for basic weapons training and familiarization, that gun is all that you need. But you know what you're doing? You're not clocking on your expensive weapons. What do I mean by that? Well, it's like a motor. You're putting hours on an engine. The more hours you put on an engine, the farther you are from the zero point, right? And the closer you're getting to the day it fails. So, why if you have a much, much, much, much, much more expensive weapon, but you have a whole, let's say you got 20-30, well, like right now, okay? The 65th RCT has got a big chunk of people that are in the process of basic training. Now, they all have training to one degree to the other, and they all have some experience, they're not kids, although there are some young men and young women that are participating. Well, for basic weapons familiarization and or for even live fire training, well, certainly you could bring your own firearm if you want to as an instructor, you can control the classroom and the environment. And if you want to have everybody on the same level of performance as far as trying to keep everybody to a standard, then having a single weapon for training is really good and the high points allow you to have, no matter how you look at it, you can have five times, four times, three times as many as some of the other guns that are out there that everybody brags about. And to help everybody to understand how to handle the weapon, how to work site alignment, how to control the weapon itself, loading and unloading of the weapon, the high point is the perfect yeoman's firearm. By the way, while you're training it, while you're training right now, you're still in peacetime. If something happens to the high point, you have a warranty with the company. So you don't have to worry about it's not maintenance free. If something happens though, if something happens, it is service acceptable to take and send it back to the plant. And they're going to do for you what they need to do, and then you get it back. Now, we really don't have that much of anybody who's had any problems with high points. for maybe five, six years. We've had when somebody was first shooting some of them, there were one or two issues we heard about, not with all of the weapons, but somebody had an issue with a high point. But what they said was this, they did exactly what they were told to do by the company, which by the way is down here, Ohio. They shot it down to the factory. Factory took two days, turned right around, had the gun right back in the people in their hands, and threw a couple extra magazines in the box. So in peacetime right now, as a training aid, it is probably the single most affordable and intelligent way to go because whatever wear and tear or hours you're putting it on is you're running the Briggs and Stratton instead of the Porsche. And the Briggs and Stratton is acceptable to see wear and tear or lose efficiency on. Another interesting thing is high points don't wear down as easily as you might think. And don't break down unless you really, really, really abuse them. And are you planning on doing that with your firearms? All of your weapons, I don't care what it is, top to bottom, need to be maintained in a situation where every firearm is gonna count, every round is gonna count, okay? I ran into something really weird here the other day, 4570 ammunition, a little clutch just in an odd place, I didn't expect to find it. In fact, 4570, yeah, big butt cartridge. and all loaded and they're now safe with someplace where they need to be. But it's interesting that again, not really in a good spot, but considering where it was, how little affected it was by the weather is amazing. The better that you work at storing your equipment or maintaining your equipment, the greater the likelihood that when you reach for it and pull the trigger, it'll do what it's supposed to do. And this is also true of cached weapons. Okay, there's a lot of basic things you can learn. So I keep coming back to that because the high point is an excellent weapon to grease up completely, mummify, mummify the magazines, box it up inside whatever container you're gonna use, and when the time comes, bring it back to the light of day and take it to battle. Now, the other thing is it's possible for you to do, say, two, three, or four high points in four different caches, two, three, or four different caches, as opposed to buying one very expensive Glock or one ultra expensive SIG. But it's not a SIG. That's true. It's not a SIG. But you know what? My 9mm, using it as a Bushwack weapon, will allow me to harvest from the organic resupply pods known as my enemy. It's a good weapon and I wouldn't hesitate to pass it on to somebody else. Well, if I want a fancier weapon, I'll take that and they can have the unfancy weapon. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. I am becoming a fast fan of the seal-a-meal device. Seal-a-mealing a high point and seal-a-mealing the ammunition separately. Well do all a whole heck of a lot to avoid any kind of moisture inside. In fact, remember heavier the plastic you use you can make your own bags out of visit Queen Basically the industrial type storage bags and yes with the sealer meal system what I would do for instance with the pistols just what I said grease it up Mummify it wrap it with cotton gauze with the grease impregnated through it on top everything else and then take and put it in that in that sealer meal bag Seal it up pull the vacuum on it. Guess what? There's no way to tell how long that would be there, but I would say at least a century If I take that and put it inside a metal ammo can and put that in a car and on a shelf How long is it gonna take for the seals to compromise the plastic to compromise in a dark? Average temperature, you know environment wise is pretty consistent wherever you put it if it's underground it's gonna stay pretty well the same temperature indefinitely They don't know how long something like that would last. The big thing would be small parts. If you were not careful about greasing or maintaining by properly lubricating everything for storage, in other words disassemble the weapon, grease, not oil, grease everything up, put it all together, and then grease the whole of the weapon or cosplaying the weapon, whatever you're gonna do. And in the process, then, like we said, mummifying seal a meal or at least just seal a meal, even if you do the mummification. And that weapon would be good for an indefinite period of time. There would be no way to be sure how long I could store. Government did a similar program and all the stuff was stored in the mountains up in the Rockies. And it's those M14s and M16s that were stored in such a way that nobody needed to touch them. They didn't need to go anywhere. They did not require any maintenance. And that's what Bill Clinton had brought down to Albuquerque and shredded. They had to take them out of the coffins they were in and take them out of the lubricant pods that they were in to destroy them. So in other words, there was no reason to destroy them except that it was a trader doing a trader's task for the globalists. And again, the government employees just following orders, which of course they don't have much of a choice when the stuff showed up, they were just told do it. But examples, you want stuff like that is stored. Even electronics are like that. Government stores everything in a three-tier defense system. And if you think the same way, there's any reason that anything you have stored should in any way, shape or form be compromised. How long would it take for the seal on the ammo can to fail? How long would it take for the plastic that you use, the visoquine, for the bag to fail? For the seal to fail? What's to make it fail? Remember that the product is sitting on the shelf with no agitation, no motion. You know, one of the things you have taken into consideration when you're stowing stuff is that you also will have to transport it. But if that's not its job, if its job is to be put underground, It's not moving. The bag's not going to be agitated. The cans not going to be agitated. It's going to sit there. It's an equipped. It's an ache in a grave. There's no motion. There's no activity other than the possibility of moisture eventually compromising whatever you might have the Chinese water torture. Take place, but how long will it take for that to do its job? How many decades? Even if it was years instead of decades, how long is it possible your equipment's going to be stored depending upon the situation? You cashed it in preparation for conflict. But of course it is designed to just be on reserve and stand by. So you could live with it. I just say, and again, just because one item might be compromised, you have 100 items stored and one item is compromised or one cash is compromised out of 100. That's pretty stinking good odds. So yes, the Ceilimule is an excellent solution. For a few years there, we found them all the time at yard sales. I haven't seen as many. I mean, it doesn't mean people won't have them, but in reality, some people are actually, again, cyclically using them again. But you can even find them at resale stores and or distressed merchandise stores. For instance, Ollie's. They have them at there, Am and Ollie's. And the price is pretty good for a Ceilimule system. But you can make your own bags. So anyway. The high point is a solution for a number of different issues. And needless to say, if your wallet is only so big, the high point takes care of putting a pistol on your holster where otherwise you might not have had one. Because that's the most common issue that we hear now from everybody is, I don't have the money's disappearing, the taxes are, you know, or the cost of living, you know, taxes, are continuing to go up and get worse this and worse that. Okay, well, because of that, Again, where I will tell you what I said a million times is you want to be able to have everything that you need to at least get to the table. What I mean by that is like it's like playing cards or if you're in any competition, it doesn't give you the premium piece. You're not, you know, it's not a John Wick toy, but it doesn't need to be. And again, you have it so that that particular category is covered. And now let's say you save up digits, you get a land, a windfall of some kind. that allows you to have a little bit of money where you can, you know, spend money on a better, or what you think is a better pistol. You may be surprised what happens there. But you buy another gun, now you take the high point, you don't sell it, you don't get rid of it. There's your cash gun. Or there's the gun that goes at the other end of the house where you put it in a ready position, so you just reach for it, grab it, pull it out, point and shoot. Now you have two weapons. Now you don't have to run all the way across the house to get to your one gun. Instead, you got halfway to go to get to another weapon and ideally if you do it right, you put it in such a central location that you don't have to go that far wherever you typically operate in the house in order for you to be armed instantly. Think about that, think about it that way. Another thing about, again, with actually getting to the table is this is true with all of your equipment. Again, we've got a lot of people outfitting right now. Guys, you do not need top end Most expensive in order to be a combat effective the basic combat gear that you see mostly offered out there No matter what nationality works The important thing is that it works with the weapon system that you've committed to so you got to get the right gear for the right firearm Also, there are basics with regard to present standards that you need to meet I talked about the IFAC earlier, and I am absolutely religious about medical items. I carry a lot more than an IFAC in my combat load. I carry a number of different compresses because I'm old school. And the idea is that you carry what might be used on you, but also if you have enough extra, you may actually be able to spare an item to help keep somebody else alive. So always remember that. Another thing, and we are headed towards, not too far, I get about 10 minutes, a little less. Another thing here very quickly is in light of all the mouthiness going on and desperation by this tiny little click of parasite globalists, which by the way, if we kill them off, it won't take a few days. How many globalists are there that we have to exterminate? If only, what, 90% of all the communications companies are personally being owned by what, five groups of people? How many people is that you have to get rid of? Nobody's thinking, you know, let's start turning this around. Who do we have to hunt to get rid of the problem? If communication is becoming more and more of an issue where, you know, we've lost the space age, we're headed back towards, you know, the stone age. Guess what? Who do we have to get rid of in the communications industry? Which of these slobs that are with the globalists and are talking about exterminating a whole bunch of people, there's only a handful of them you got to get rid of. And if everybody's hunting them, they wouldn't survive three days worth of trying to get away. That's how everybody needs to be thinking. And the same is true with the globalists. We grossly outnumber them. And while we do have the numbers, you create whatever it is that's necessary in the way of the proper story. to point everybody at them, whatever it is that's necessary to motivate whichever group, and you get them on target on those people the way they try to play with their communication scams on all of us. That's what they're trying with this whole thing about, well, the MAGA people are, well, you know what, piss on you. This is one of those tit for tat, I guess we can come back on you big time. I'm not a MAGA person as far as being a Trump person. But daddy didn't train no fool. They're just using that scam because we've seen them do it with every and any organization. Last time it was the Tea Party, remember? Once they had a title that they could attack, then they started attacking the Tea Party. And if you go back and look at all the rhetoric and all the propaganda, Is it any different from the rhetoric and propaganda presently being used for the latest batch of Republicans trying to actually make the Republican Party look like a Republican Party rather than just a dog and pony show for the Democrats slash the communist globalists? The Tea Party people, like I told you the same thing, what happened, and this is the only problem, is they had great grassroots organization and then they wanted to let these name brand people come in. And when all the corporate name brand people came in, the Tea Party meant nothing. And everything had to be watered down rather than stay at the level that it was when they were highly motivated. Okay, just a heads up on that. So anyway, a couple of things before we go. One more time. Since they went after the My Pillow Guy, because the Pillow Guy got thugged by the FBI, those panty waste whirps. Those peckerwood pieces of trash, you know, the excrement that make up the bureaucracy of the government, they thugged the pillow guy. Well, since I mentioned the IFAX, I'm going to do this one more time, mystore.com, mystore.com, mystore.com. If you go over there, they have what's called bleed stop. It's the equivalent to quick clot. And when you get over there, what you do is you find the bleed stop. It's about 65. dollars a pack for a bundle. However, if you use code L77, L77, 77 for bleed stop, the price goes down to $29.99. That's $30 a bundle. That's a better price than anywhere. It's better priced than Shop Med Vet. And Shop Med Vet's as cheap as they get. I've gone through everybody else out there and Shop Med Vet. The regular price at my store is basically the price of this product over at shopmedvet.com. And I recommend you still go over to shopmedvet.com and look to see what they have, because there's a lot of other stuff that's, there's no place cheaper you can buy medical gear, medical supplies. shopmedvet.com. But mystore.com, mystore.com has bleed stop, bleed stop. and the code is L7-7 for the discount and it drops the price from $65 approximately down to $30. So it's definitely worthwhile and you definitely should take advantage of that if you're putting an I-FAC together or if you're putting a dock kit together, another one to go in the vehicle, I've got a couple I still have to fill out and I'm probably going to have to end up buying a couple of these bundles just to have more of the quick clot in each of the medical bags. And they're not just first aid kits or medical bags. Everything from top to bottom is in there to basically deal with most any kind of wound or injury we'd run into. We have to assume that you're going to be seeing perforation slash bullet wounds with what's coming, obviously. The police state's going to go from just thugging up on the pillow guy to walking up and trying to murder the pillow guy. That's not an if that's just a win there. They've already told you what they're planning on doing This is communist China if they have their way we got to kill these bastards to make sure this doesn't become communist China But they're gonna try and kill people to get rid of the problem and terrorize the rest of you. That's what government does So you survive it you've won the battle, but you got tagged now. What do you do? Well step one is you're gonna take care of yourself Okay, so you need to be squared away with what you can put on the shelf and have at hand for the second part of the battle, keeping yourself functional and alive. Staying alert and being able to continue to operate. And probably follow up on the second wave you're gonna have to fight, which by the way, just assume the worst and you won't be disappointed and the idea is win. To do that, prior, proper, planning prevents piss poor performance, the P principle. Always apply it whenever possible. Think ahead. Okay. Another thing, oh, and by the way, I'm sure they gave awards out to those three pig FBI turds that went after the soccer mom on the 3rd of September because it was so brave and valiant for them to go wait until the husband left the house and come up and terrorize the woman in her own home. I'm sure they got special awards pat on the head and they probably Joe Biden himself probably sodomized them that night they got to be personally sodomized by Joe Biden and Probably Obama and Mikey because there's three so yep, there's three play toys right there but they probably got the special treat from their leadless fear and Walked funny the next day Just just the nature of the FBI and what kind of turd you dealing with so disgusting, but it's where we are. And if you want to stop being disgusting, we get rid of them. That's just all there is to it. You want it to stop being disgusting, you got to get rid of them. So let's work at getting things done right.
