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 and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame to 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 harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths. They've sworn And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Most sons of the Republic arise take a stand defend the Constitution the supreme law of the land Preserve our great Republic and each God given right and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark Parkney One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories South, southeast, north, and west. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we are on satellite. Say hi to all of our friends in Merchant Marine and across virtually the globe on every ocean of the planet. Probably watching a lot of exciting shipping moving around even as they float or are in port. And we're watching from the porting facilities. We get a lot of messages from there and a lot of news. Anyway. Also a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States. It is Tuesday, Communications Tuesday. It is the 4th of October. It is the 14th year of open and obvious in your face, Fabian, socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2022 older calendar. 2022 battle for the republic, the dance of swords, two yellow birds. And as it is for everybody, a lot of stuff going on, consideration. With the developments the way they are, you need to be prepared if you are possess a beard, long side birds, or a goatee, even I would recommend. A handlebar mustache is not a problem. A regular mustache, not an issue. However, facial hair is something you want to be prepared to get rid of and you need to have a tool on hand or tools ready to do it quick. One thing I would point out is everybody goes, well, I got scissors, I'm not going to raise her. A little cheapy electric haircut is really handy, battery powered, prison to use them for actually doing business. There are guys that do haircuts for the price of a couple rounds of cigarettes or you know, whatever the price is a couple of bars of soap or it can be a couple of red Colgate's or just a red Colgate What are they what was their investment about a six dollar and eighty cent clear plastic Hair trimmer it's got everything that they need and the rest is skill Guys one of those little cheapy hair tremors is something you do need to keep around Okay, just as a heads up get a collar. What do we have going on? I heard a voice. Don't want to leave anybody out. Okay, very good. Anyway, why? Well, gas masks. We know all about the folder, all BS and tripe having to do with the ring knockers and the Corona beer virus, but we're looking at this side of the water, prattling on about limited nuclear warfare. Well, first of all, there is no such thing. And for any fool who's stupid enough to open their face up about that, They couldn't pull their head out of their arse for the crowbar if their life depended on it. And right now it does. The idiot sticks that have talked themselves into that typically are the people never fighting their lives. They have no intention. They figure you're going to be the one that they're going to sacrifice. Sacrifice is going to be the key word repeated by these Czechist communists, you know, the Czechest political hacks over and over and over again. We'll sacrifice this and sacrifice it, which means sacrifice you, okay? You. That means fumble up, screw up, incompetent, have no business being near any position of authority, etc. Okay, we'll settle that. Now, personally, you want to make sure that you are able to keep your face clean, shaven for a good seal with a gas mask. With nuclear, biological or chemical gas mask or a parody. Now, I will point out a couple of places that have some pretty good buys. Still on equipment. I don't know how much they have left because as everybody's been talking about this You know, everybody has that last minute of Tiffany the people have told you you were all crazy because nothing like this is gonna be talked about Until the powers that be talk about it. No, oh my god. Oh, I just discovered I need a fill in the blank. I always love how that happens Many of these people are pretty shallow hells. They're not going to really stay focused. Three day to three week memory span. But every gas mask we get out of a warehouse is out where we can access it. And for the long haul, it's useful to have them off the shelf. Typically the comp powers that mean the company will restock. If they don't, they will. But because of this and because of the increased and obvious interest that's just taken place. Sorry about that. Whoa, hit the wrong switch there. Sorry, guys. Because of the increased interest, availability is going to be a roller coaster from location to location. Any gas mask is a good gas mask, especially when it comes to radiological defense. Anything to protect your lungs from taking in your internal body parts from taking in things that are irradiated. So it can be a lot looser. In fact, amazingly enough, this is where those face masks can be fine as a supplement, but not your first best choice. But anything covering your air intake system, nostrils, mouth, is going to help keep big chunks of fallout out of your system where irradiated material may just be kicked up before a fallout wave takes place. You don't want it in your body. You can't get it out. Just that simple. Well, the body will evacuate it eventually, but in the meantime, The radioactivity has done its damage to your body. So we need a good seal. And so I recommend, there's a couple reasons for buying one of these little electric battery powered beard trimmers. They make good hair trimmers. Something else you probably haven't thought about is you're going to have to be, in some cases, shaving areas of people's bodies to do surgeries, for instance, medical. And one of the things that you might have, maybe you've heard about, maybe you haven't, but in many cases they're not shaving to the surface anymore. It depends on which doctor and which operating room is adopted, whatever practice. But for instance with scalp or head or you know some kind of head injury Facial injuries or scalp injuries any place with his body here They trim back short, but they don't shave and there was a reason for this because many cases where you shave Or you may shave you're gonna end up with ingrown hair or you know infections, etc So what they're doing is they're just cutting to a very short height one nice thing about these little electric razors They can be done used for that purpose So just something to think about there. But otherwise it's speed and efficiency. The idea is knock down all the facial hair, follow up with a shave because you're not injured, and clean yourself up and be ready for what's coming. Now you're going to do it right now. You can stay the way you are, but you need to have the tools in the toolbox. If all you got are scissors and razors, fine. But a little electric trimmer like that, take everything down much quicker. Just like a lawnmower, okay? But it also serves as another tool in the toolbox. Eventually it'll be gravitating probably as much as sending over to one person who might be your unit barber. I really believe this. You need to give people tasks. And some people have done things before and it makes them a useful component. They're wearing more than one hat. A barber is interestingly enough part of what makes things normal. It creates normalcy. And so what I've been doing is any kinds of tools, scissors, whatever I can find like that, anything from any kind of tool you can imagine I collect. And the reason for that is it goes into a general practitioner barrel box, tool box, whatever. I'm not sorting it out right now. I'm just piling it up. When the time comes, you scrape out the extras. They don't even have to be the best. It's like, well, here's what you're going to get. You got this, this, two of these, one of these. Here's some other stuff working out. By the way, here's a bunch of throwaway razors. We got any, what do we get? Getting the way of toss out, Barbasol, things of that nature too, or at least soap. There's some more stuff. Now you make up your kit, use that, fix all your tools, square yourself away. I've been doing the same thing with mechanics. One of the things I'm starting to do right now is for instance Craftman tools go with Craftman tools SK tools go with SK tools. Okay, I go right down go right down the shopping list I have been running into phenomenal deals on top-end tooling that are your machinery and tooling that I don't really Wouldn't go out and buy because it couldn't afford but when I get it for free or almost free Oh, yes, but what I'm doing right now is taking the map the manufacturer types and moving them into toolboxes so that they're all copacetic. It's just an easy way to kind of sort things without getting really micro, you know, micromanagement on it. Now, some things I have to divide up simply for instance tin snips, cutters, and shears. I try to grab all of those that we can. More that we have for manual operation, better off we'll be. These are all the things that will, by the way, also wear out. They're going to tire. We're going to be ready to sharpen them. So all the tools and machinery necessary for refitting and redressing all of the edges is another thing and it creates a job for another person. One person is probably going to be given the task, not that everybody else won't know how to do it because we're going to teach everybody, but everybody understands the basic task at hand and then we develop their skill to a greater depth and degree of professional mastery because that's what needs to happen and you all need to be generalist not super specialist everybody's gonna have a specialty with regard to a daily task but at the same point they're all going to be cross-trained everybody that we can you are going to be a walking computer which is by the way with computers copy it used to be we taught Americans this way Let me ask all of you out there, how many of you out there listening had an auto shop or have an auto shop in your high school right now? Anybody? How many of you have an auto shop or machine shop? Trades, a trades shop. When I was growing up, starting in junior high school because of the, we're in Michigan, The equipment that I learned on was stuff that was from World War I probably through to World War II donated by the auto industry to the schools. Bridgeport mills, lathes, millers, anything you can imagine. But here's what gets me. And this was, we're not talking a big school. Bigger schools had more toys. for the same reason and they got them either from for free from the auto industry or from industry because they wanted to promote developing the skilled trades. How many of you have any skilled trade shops in your in your school right now? Anybody? Speak up. Any of you have shop in your high school right now? We have produced a whole lot of mechanically retarded pop, you know people pop it population wise. It is lost on them. And well, I'm just gonna go to my handheld wood brain and I'm gonna look it up and I'll do, no, it doesn't work that way. Hands on is most critical. Doesn't mean you can't get something, I've always told you, go watch somebody else do it. But there is a reason for a course of instruction and a method to the madness of the course of instruction. Okay, there's a step by step process. It was already worked out, works really well. That's all been thrown out. Here's the most comical thing. I think I've heard Yeah, we're gonna get those jobs back from China Well, you mean the you mean the businesses obviously But who's doing that job right now? Well, wait a minute the jobs are trying to get back from China We kicked out of the United States and we don't have anybody doing them when we lost all that skill We lost every bit of the skilled labor working knowledge that we had 30 years ago. What's 30 years ago? That's a generation and a half. So if you get any of this stuff back into the United States, how much real skill or working knowledge? Where do you have the skill base to walk into those jobs? It took 200 years to get us to where we were in 1990. To 200 years of step by step, multi-generational learning. But when the boobies and the leftists who knew what they were doing, the kosher mafia that knew what it was doing, interrupted a wealth program, the brain trust, the way that they did, they knew exactly how deeply they were damaging the United States. How badly they were breaking the United States. How badly they were crippling the United States. And the epitome or the spike or the peak of that right now to this date is what happened with the Corona beer virus and the level of a feminine response by men. Panic, fear, in fact, there were more women that were braver than there were men out there, just like any other situation we're dealing with right now. Part of this was the destruction of the work ethic and the labor process and so here's what we're having to rebuild However, now I'm gonna say something I heard this three times and three little pieces posted by people today as Part of you know stuff in the other the other world of the internet Well, if we have a world worth go back 600 years or a thousand years. Why are you stupid? Let me let me ask you something now granted. I do understand. Yes to a degree the country has been been stupefied However, if I have at least an example of something sitting in front of me I can mechanically break it down and what few thinkers I might have left could look at it and build it Well steam is not 600 years ago Crude electronic is not 600 years ago. It is 140 years ago This is the year 2022 What was the electrical capacity of the United States in 1880? Oh, by the way, it did exist. How did the telegraph run? What year was the telegraph set up? What was the first telegraph in the United States? What did it run off, Smoke? Would that be in Menlo Park, New Jersey? Well, it actually was several different locations simultaneously because remember they were running a up-and-coming companies remember the Edison battery That's what I was gonna say they run on batteries real big ones. Yeah real big ones those ones that can be rebuilt over and over and over again Why would we not go to that? Oh, yeah, he's not an iron core type of battery mark Yeah, iron lock. Well, the thing is, it was an iron nickel. And there's another metal, but forgive me if I can get rattling on my mouth. I just had in the back of my mind that it was some kind of an iron composition in the battery. The interesting thing about the Edison battery is that remember it was built at a time when most of the country was not electrified. We were building it to electrify the country across the nation. Edison's batteries or progressive multi-generational batteries were the significant leap forward. Well, let's say we have a nuclear exchange right now, boom, and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. We would still have enough surviving examples. Why? Well, let me give you a case in point. How many historical steam park groups are in Detroit or downtown Columbus or the middle of Chicago? Most aren't. There's some museums there. We have like Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. The Arabs will have that. But, if you've ever been to it, it'll help you to understand machinery, okay, machines, which most people are completely out of place with because of the fumble screw with the education, the failure of the education system, which is totally incompetent, which is why you can baffle everybody with the bullshit called climate scams, climate change, okay? But fact is that we if you have an example you could run it batteries are probably the best example No, I'm not gonna make the batteries you see in the present really crapoo Ford trucks that are out there You know what I'm and what I'm seeing and what it's pretty well that's happening is this is the third time They've run the electric car scam For the purpose of milking money out of the government so they can steal it out of our pockets and you know Put us in greater debts. We become more indentured as bondsmen But the technology has not changed. There is no significant difference between the electric cars of 20 years ago and the present electric cars that are coming up and online. They all have the same problem. Diversification would be great. I don't have a problem with electric cars. But when you're telling me you're going to get rid of this and get rid of that, when the vehicle or the equipment or technology hinders, hampers, or you know, and restricts the performance of the people, that's an effort to create tyranny. That's an effort to restrict, not improve your condition or plight. So again, in fact, the electric car really, to be quite honest, there isn't really much difference between the existing electric car, expect for the spy technology. I'd ask everybody this, how much of the electricity being bled off of your electric Tesla or the new electric Ford trucks is being bled off because of the spyware that has to be on board? Is there anybody out there who doesn't believe that there isn't a mass track of multi? in intelligence collecting, tracking, slash also listening and monitoring system on board that Ford truck. Here's what's really cute. What do you want to bet? What do you want to bet that if you were to do a frequency counter, now listen to what I'm saying here. You know, the new Ford trucks, there's a guy that's on YouTube that's been doing a bunch of articles. He went out with one of the new Ford F1s, the 150s, but it's the Electra Luxe Vacuum Sweeper model. Anyway, he was complaining about how when he tows stuff, all of a sudden, in 30 miles, he lost half of his range. He lost half, he could only do half the distance because he was actually towing something, which is what the truck was bought for. It's got phenomenal torque, takes off like all electric vehicles do, blah, blah, blah. What difference does that make if all of a sudden you have half the range and the truck is supposed to be used as a kind of a work truck? Okay. But what's fascinating about this is I'd be willing to bet that there is an 800-meg enhancer on board. First of all, it's both an enhancer for rebroadcast. Not for you, by the way. And by the way, I'm not telling you you're getting any benefit out of this. That's not what it's for. It's like all the black boxes under your present vehicles in the dash. They're not there for you. They're there for the government and for the company, not for you. So you have an enhancer, but you also have an interceptor slash collector for any and all cell phones that are in the vehicle. You want to bet? If they actually made the effort and they don't want anybody to think about this, especially since the people that the government really wants to spy on are the people who still have money but aren't super real, you're not super poor, but not super rich, it's the competition. It's the perceived enemies of the state, the American people. And so I guarantee that A, there is a collection unit, a collector technology on board that grabs All signals and records all travel database as a backup to the onboard GPS motion base that probably is in the memory so they can track everywhere you've been with that truck. This is OnStar how they help you. Exactly. And now let's think OnStar on steroids. What's the price of an electric Tesla? Well, that's all they are. A whole lot of money. 60,000, 70,000, 100,000. only when you say that that's guys that's more than we paid for the first house we bought which was a pretty nice house and we still have it okay it's an old house and it's only on it's on an acre of property but you know what that's that's effective it's a hundred thousand dollars it's twice what we paid for the house it's ramshackle yeah it's a ramshackle place I like that ramshackle house just the way it is I do too yeah what's fascinating about this is that you're paying $100,000. So the average person is probably getting this. Granted, if you were buying a Ford truck new right now, you can pay up to $50,000, $60,000 for that. Depending on what racing package you want under the hood, and I've talked about that for years. I mean, since they started putting Mach 1 Mustang engines under the hood and Ford was making these performance, remember the Z, what is it, the Z71 Chevys? They're the same way. They started putting hot motors under the hood so you could do dukes of hazard with your pickup truck. Not great for hauling, but real great for pickup and speed. Okay. Well, people who have those have money. So wouldn't you want to know what those people that have money are doing if you're a spy state or a police state? Because they could be the up-and-coming competition for the powers and people that are already in play. So why would you not think that the people who are willing to finance their own doom that you wouldn't be tracking them and you wouldn't be listening to everything they say in the vehicle? Now here's the thing. We already know about this. Do they need to put, for instance, microphones in the car? Well, they probably did, which they've already built into. If you have anything past, say, even 98 as far as overtly, You probably have one or two of the different built-in microphones that can be seen, but remember there's also others that are concealed. And you'd have to pull the electrical schematics, which by the way you can access. Actually you can access all of the, that's for each of these vehicles. I just won't tell you what's in the black box that the wires go to, if it's a black box that's restricted. But it tells you which box is to focus on first as far as what's in this thing. Because those black boxes you can't get the screen for. Okay. You're spending $100,000 or $75,000 on your new Super Ford Electrolux Magnum speaker, and right off the bat, the microphone's in your cell phones already collecting all the information that was being said. transferring it to the enhancer will stay sensitive out to where is they're going to be sending it to their colleagues. By the way, OnStar is a list. You know, you can't cut OnStar once you get it. And that you are, no matter what, well I'm not paying for OnStar anymore, doesn't make any difference. We've understood this for years as part of the bite the bullet thing. OnStar is always on. It's just that simple. Just like the cell phone is always on, even when you turn it off. Yeah, exactly. Right little red dot as they say remember you see you had had that little red dot to show you that the system was operation Hey guys, I'm on I'm on the line right now. I got to check something Darzak I know you were listening to dead warble on that last piece or was that on my end? Yeah for about 35 seconds or so I'm having an issue with one of the streams that looks like it might have been hacked That's why I was checking just making sure We don't have a problem there. The MRSP guys, tell me if we have control over it. If you're hearing the intelligence report, somebody hit me up in the Discord, just let me know. Or Darzak, if you're there, if you could tune in. See what's playing over there right now. Okay, let's see what we have to do. There we go. And again, for everybody out there, you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. Liberty Tree Radio dot ORG along with many many other alternate and standard communication systems would say hi at a 95.7 FM and also channel 31 CB although we have the other CB channels running whatever they want to Channel 31 is our test and right now they're up in the Middle Western part of the Upper Peninsula this week in fact We're putting up nine new base station CB repeaters for the purpose of on standby when things go south. And that's the purpose, again, behind most of these projects, is to have everything in place, ready to go, rather than waiting until the last minute. And oh my God, we got to run into, no, no, we already have a system set up. In fact, we established it years ago, we just did a mimic of it again. And now the crews go around and channel 31 is our test frequency where we confirm range with the basic transmitter, then we cycle it over to, we turn the dial, drop it into wherever we're going to be broadcasting, 23, 27, 39, whatever is most efficient for the area of activity. and confirm that that grid is up and then the radio is shut down, but then we turn it out every once in a while and it randomly broadcasts in a test pattern system so it does a certain amount of work and then it gets shut down again. That way we have an on standby alternate, a massive alternate communication system ready to go. And again, it is Communications Tuesday. Now, another thing, well, another thing real quick here, We are, of course, we're being inundated with the World War III nuclear scenario, which in and of itself, it's being initiated by all the leftists. Ah, let's do this. Edward, I know you're, hopefully you're not too busy, dicey. I was thinking about this, and again, we had arguments over this the last time where somebody didn't have a clue what I was talking about, but safety dance. Safety dance. Let's play that as a bottom, well, pass the bottom of the hour break. Safety dance. And that's an anti-war piece, by the way. And we have people go, hey, that's crazy. You obviously never watch the video on, oh, that's right, MTV. Did you ever watch the MTV video that was done? Well, it was done for MTV by the band that did Safety Dance? Watch it all the way to the end and pay attention and watch all the images that flash up when you hear that, ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And it stops each one of those tappets there's an image What are the images? Well, when was it done? It's like 99 lift balloons 99 balloons, okay Remember that song me I probably don't there's a German man. It was another anti war piece done when there wasn't any war going on Done by the leftist Okay, go watch the video 99 you know balloons. Oh wow and when you watch it, I think it's man red balloons 99 red balloons. I think that's it. Yeah Anyway, if you watch it been a long time since I've heard that song decades actually now We haven't played it on this program at all. Well, maybe 30 years ago Only because but I'm rubbing it in there's all these where did all the leftist anti-war music go? Simple as a man, 18 year old's face. Why? Okay, well, God, we're sending the pimpley 18 year old to his doom in World War III. Oh, we gotta stop. Is there gonna send him? You see what I mean? Okay, but that was all of that period. That was the big question. Right. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. You might notice that was in German, by the way. And oh, by the way, that period of time, it would be from West Germany, because East Germany was communist. And by the way, the dictator, oh, I'm sorry, the chancellor from Germany right now is, oh, that's that woman. And Merkel was her name, and she is from East Germany. So you see when they were doing all of that, the leftists were telling you it was horrible to think about World War I or war at all, even though there was no war going on. Okay, there wasn't now there is. And do you see anybody? Where have all the flowers gone? Long time standing. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago. Where'd all the Antons go? I mean, you know, this is the end. My only, yeah, you know, to the who. Where'd all the Antons go? From the leftist. Instead, the purple-haired, pedo-queers are all frothing at the mouth. We got, well, we put that in quotes. We gotta go to war. Now, the purple-haired, queer, pedo isn't gonna be anywhere near the battlefield. They're logic is all you white heterosexual males who are evil, evil, evil, evil just need to lose your brains, run to the recruitment office, sign up in the stupid way and go suicide for the pedo, queer, purple haired, fruit, nutcase, hydropod, let's see, neurotic hypochondriac with paranoid tendencies slash hiding the basement guy. You're going to be taking orders from that. That's why you need to go to war See how stupid that is now we plan on fighting, but we're not gonna be fighting for that click nor this regime Okay, we plan on fighting To protect our freedom and our liberty right now that ain't threatened overseas That's threatened by the police state right here in the United States in in corporate United States Admiralty law of 1933 War Powers Act corporation of the United States. Think about it. So anyway, where are all the Peacenakes? Where did all of the liberal leftist Peacenakes go? And by the way, it's the frothing at the mouth crazy loon, pedestal sniffer meat puppet who is a what again? What have I said about who gets takes you to war? Well, the neocons, but what does a neocon mean? That means that they're a con man. Oh no, you thought it was conservative, right? A con man slash read data leftist, a globalist leftist claiming to be conservative. A con man, neo con, but for the most part, I've got to come up here and just cut in for a second. We do seem to have a problem with the MRSP. Some people are able to get in, some people are not. I'm working on the problem, trying to figure out what's going on with that. In the meantime, if you're having a problem getting on the MRS speed or you know somebody who is having that problem, send them over to LibertyTreeRadio.org. That's LibertyTreeRadio.org. The link there is working, no problem. Nobody's had an issue with that one. But the link on the .forum.g.tom site, we've got something going on with that. Very good, so libertytreeradio.org or if you're listening on any of the other feeds or systems, remember, take the time, slide sideways, or send in some feedback, you can get into the Discord for that. If there's something going on, maybe you're receiving something strange alien or different, let us know, and then we'll go from there. So we are a little bit to the top. It is Communications Tuesday. Right now, check your batteries and your radio tech technology. Any time that they start stirring the pot to try and piss on everybody's parade, it's a good time to, again, do a review and look at it as training headed towards reality, a real experience. So go over your water. You notice I'm, why am I hyper about the water thing? Water is life. Battles. Small battles, big battles, campaigns, and wars have been lost for lack of water and then beyond that food. Water is life. If you have water, you'll still function for a good period of time, but without it, you're screwed. Just that simple. Many different individual battles were lost or created hardship beyond what most people can relate to or understand. for lack of water. So check your canteens, make sure that all of your water is topped off. We're adding more water to our storage right now, every chance we can. You should too. And in addition to that, then also check, because it's Communications Tuesday, your batteries, your flashlights, And don't forget, how about the lights on your combat equipment? If you get excited to put whiz bang, you know, super strobe or super lights on whatever weapon you got, check those. And also, what about the electronics that might be on your sighting system, depending on what you chose? Now, I highly recommend that you invest in more batteries. period. In fact, especially unique and specialized batteries for a lot of your optics. Many of your optics run on either a one, two, three battery, or they're running on watch batteries, large format coin batteries. Now, if that's the case, you need to make sure you've got more of those right now, because that's something you are going to burn through. You're going to go from on standby Minuteman to fighting Minuteman. And that means that you're going to be lighting stuff up more often. You're going to be hitting the switches when you need to, depending upon the technology. Radio communications, that's going to be a 24-7 thing. Let's say they fry the communications grid or whatever. Or shut it off. Guys, come on. It's like I said before three years ago. Ten, two years ago as it was happening. The enemy could, before all the coronavirus virus crap, I pointed out that A fake biological attack could easily be promoted, and it was, by a collective group of liars in government, which they are. And now everybody's finding out after the fact that they herded everybody like a bunch of lemmings. Those of us who didn't get herded along didn't get affected by it. In fact, we never stopped driving. We never stopped operating. And in fact, I've got to say it was the most pleasurable driving, for instance, I've had in 40 years. Well, 35, 40 years. Nobody on the road, millions and billions of dollars worth of highway all to us. And no boobies or fools running or trying to operate cell phones or other equipment or just getting drunk, doped up and falling asleep behind the wheel or just not knowing where they were while they were behind the wheel. It was all gone. And you know what? Most of it was the same, you know, Karens and you know, neurotic hypochondriacs with paranoid tendencies that we've been talking about that if we just could get them to hide under the bed again, we get their sorry ass out of our way. That'd be pretty good. Best thing that could happen. And I repeat that everywhere I am. It's like, and I just wish they'd all go paranoid again, go hide under the bed in the basement. And many, you can tell who the people were that were the cowards, because it's like I've told you before this started. You can always tell when you make a statement like that, who laughs and who either looks like they're in the sense. It's like, no, you're a buffoon. But it's okay because I pay attention to who laughs, especially if they work in a place, because I can talk to them again later and I can start working towards recruiting. You know that works? Make a little conversation in a roundabout way that's like a Geiger counter. It allows you to figure out who's who in the zoo. Very important is phase one. The Coronavir driver scam helped you to sort out a lot of people that otherwise would have been in the way. You do understand that, right? Or would have been betraying you because you needed masks, which we were going to get, we actually have, but you needed everybody, everybody, because you're going to save, no, you're not going to save the neurotic hypochondriac with paranoid tendencies, you're not. They're so far around the corner, they can't see the last two corners, they went around. Okay, before that, they're crazy. And the insanity that's been created by the public fool system is not going to be fixed. Expect that, accept that, you're doing fine. Anyway, a couple things here also with regard to batteries. Don't throw them away if you have older batteries, guys. We can reactivate things, but we got to have the basics. In fact, we have to at least have the components. Recycling the battery components is a very real thing. Right now you don't do it because it's quote unquote not economical. When you don't have any and you can't get any more, it becomes very economical. You see my point. Another thing, when we're building new batteries, you know, from scratch, when we're building batteries from the components and the materials that the batteries are made out of, understand that the battery we're making next is going to be far more durable and rugged than the present units that are out there. Everything that we have to build, we need to, oh, it is not bad to step back in this respect. It needs to be girthier. Everything you're building needs to be heavier. It needs to be able to take more abuse. One of the things that I've been looking at and had a conversation with somebody about before was creating hardening armor shells to go over a lot of the optics that we have. They're not going to be replaceable. Other than from, you know, once you kill off an enemy force, you know, the bat faggots try to kick in the door of somebody's house, everybody pitches in and exterminates them. Well, now you've got a bunch of mobile resupply pods laying around. Unfortunately, they've got holes in some of their equipment. But if you look at your enemy as nothing more than a mobile resupply pod waiting to be harvested, then yes, you're going to get a certain amount of material as we return. But that is never going to fully compensate for what is additional material needed because of expansion of your fighting force. So we need to also husband the existing, better tech that you're already adapted to and understand. And what I mean by armoring is simply an outer plastic over a sheath hull, there's a couple of ideas. One has been casting and the other one is to just fabricate something that can be laid over and laced into place. Kevlar would work, or even rubber baby muggy bumper armor with a camouflage pattern over it to help protect the unit. Now this also insulates the unit, which is something that's kind of handy when you have batteries on board. Nobody's really just, you know, how many of you, let me ask you this. How many of you have been out in the cold for two, three, or four weeks with your electronics in the field? How many of you have taken your red, green, blue optical system or your whatever pattern you've got and put it out into the field for an extended period of time? 24 hours a day, seven days a week, three, four, five weeks at a time. Or how about wet, rainy conditions? Cold is going to be the biggest problem because it saps energy from the batteries typically. Now some batteries like cold, I should point that out before I say too much more, some batteries, some types, different, in fact for instance rechargeables, actually can be stored quite efficiently in a cooler environment or a cold environment. Now that doesn't mean that's for use, but as far as storage goes, if I have to store a bunch, A lower temperature controlled environment is a good thing for different patterns of batteries, which is something that they don't talk about because, well, companies want to sell you more batteries anyway. So I'm going to tell you too much about how to stretch out and lean out the performance of whatever you've got. Because of this, for instance, armoring and insulating has more than one benefit. but arm ring as in rubber baby buggy bumpers for the optics, any kind of even just zero point optics, expanded or amplified optics, you know like scopes of whatever pattern, night vision devices. I mean, they're not, you're not going to bulk them out that much more, but a second tier of armor or protection is a good idea and it's something that we have have been actually working on a problem. There's many, many different night vision devices in service. So since there is no single standard, we have to come up with a general idea of what can you put together to make that work. So that's something that we have a group of people already experimenting with right now, and we're going to share that as quickly as we get more feedback. It's kind of like the wooden AR-15 lower receiver project. It's done. The only question with that is, What would be the least expensive, keep it simple, stupid, way to build it? And then if you want to become more excitable slash a little more detailed as far as adding whiz-bang whistle features, what can you do or what do you not want to do simply to save time in production? Remember, these weapons are designed for defense and they don't have to look pretty. Of course you can, but I don't know about finish, whatever they're going to do with it. Most everything I've seen has been either raw wood for the moment or it has been oiled. But it could just as easily be painted, obviously, and or pressure colored. Couple different tricks there to actually impregnate the material to the point where the color would almost be thrown through like plastic. But it still had patterned grain like a wood stock. So it would be like the laminate stock coloration that you see with a lot of the custom stocks. But it wouldn't be fancy in any way, shape, or form. It would simply be a base color of one shade, one color, but permeating all the way through the wood. The same is true with armor for the electronics. You have to come up with a general system. that can be adapted to the many different sizes and there's still going to have to be different sizes of fixtures to go over, cover, scroll over the many different design patterns that are out there. Another thing is also remember check your mags. If you're rotating mags, I do it early, although we are at the beginning of the month so maybe you haven't done it yet. Time to do it if you haven't. If you're not used to it, or if you've already done it, say, but not too long ago, the idea that we're having a mobilization issue or an escalation of rhetoric, and also not just harsh language, but violent action on the part of warring parties, it'd be a good idea to put the rest of your technology in order. So go through your shopping list or go through your checklist and go right down it from one end to the other. And then set everything aside, now you know you're ready to go. Another thing, do not, do not, do not take anything from your tactical web gear or house load to use for some other BS like, I need a flashlight to look around, no you don't, not from that. You have to have a religious policy of maintaining your Minuteman kit. And don't think any other way, it's a religious policy. You don't take anything off it. Now that you've been reminded go and put back the things that you've already taken off of it Alongs and put the bayonet back. Thank you Oh Well, I don't have to go to the house or I don't we go over to the other part of shop my kids right here I'll grab my multi-tool and then you get done with the project and you get distracted by something else and now a Useful tool is missing from your combat ring. We don't need that and so I'm reminding you again From the top of the hour when I started with razors, okay, being ready to shave your beard. If not, you choose to do it now, that's fine. 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 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 Number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally 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 for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon. Intelligence report on our corny, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, south, north, northeast, and central. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we're on satellite because we had all of our maroo people out there, both inland and outland as in the great flat wastes of the Salton Sea. It's like being on a desert. You can't drink any of it. Well, you can if you work a little bit, but otherwise you go crazy. So it's an ocean desert with all that life running through it. But we're in every one of them, virtually every ocean on the planet right now. Thank you to all of our rebroadcasters here. But we're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is, well, it's Tuesday, Communications Tuesday. It is the 4th of October. It is the 14th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, baby and socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. 2022, old earth calendar, 2022, battle for the republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue and it shall. So for everybody again, beautiful day, by the way, I didn't mention it, perfect day here in Michigan. You could not ask for a nicer blast couple or several days while the storms in the south and the east have been taking place. Interesting weather manipulation if it was because of looking at satellite patterns. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but we're going to take whatever we can get. We're in the 4th of October. I've still got plants that are viable. We have not been hit with a frost that's been significant in any way, shape, or form. Cooler air. Of course, not tonight could be the night, but I've been covering the plants, bringing as much indoors and into the other buildings as possible and the ones that are in the greenhouse already. They're going to be good for weeks. I may or may not do the experiment to see how long I can run the plants in the greenhouse that I have. But if I do anything, I'll add more plants to what's in the greenhouse. simply because they're low maintenance. They run all on their own. I've got it pretty well worked out balance-wise with water, etc. So they've got all the sun and heat they need. Cold has not been extreme at night yet, so those supplemental heat has been necessary, and I haven't lost any of the plants. A couple interesting things that are happening right now, though. We have one lilac bush that is flowering right now, and it's out of cycle. It's actually the second flowering for this year. not seen before. In addition to that, other plants that are looking pretty good or pretty healthy because we have not had an extreme dry cycle in August. We've had just average temperatures, average weather, which is nobody's talking about that. No, we're doomed. The hurricanes, even the hurricane situation, we're having fewer, but we've had some more intense. Now, if you look at that, by the way, the hurricane issue, notice how everybody's talking about, you know, myopic, very, very narrow vision, only look at the disaster itself. And even there, the Fed, of course, has done nothing, and I would expect them to do nothing. That's the way the political hacks can work. But do you really want the Feds in Florida anyway? I would say this. I don't know how much of what they've allowed, but Homeland Security is a waste of your lifetime and dangerous. FEMA is a waste of resources. So if the state can take care of its own, and hopefully that's what they're doing, it looks like they are, they're better off without anything coming in from the Fed anyway because with it comes failure. With it comes attachments and layers upon layers of senseless, useless red tape that has to do with people who have no clue how to get anything done. and are only rewarding the quadriplegic homosexual Eskimos they could desperately find to cling to if they ever do get into the area of activity. But as far as regular people, everybody else, well, piss on you. So that's their attitude. Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, remember, only on steroids because now the Democrats have full grasp of everything in terms of the bureaucracy. So the communists are just planned to failure and they're failing. It's exactly what we expect from the Communists in Washington. They're worthless turds, they've been worthless turds, they will be worthless turds. Nothing's gonna change there. However, here again. With the beautiful weather we've had, we also have, we're going to have some extensions and crops, or we're going to have a bumper crop in some areas, pit fruits, apples, and all the rest are looking really good this year. I don't know that it's going to be a record, but they have done, they have had a really good production run. So with that being the case, you know, we've even seen pairs where the pairs are so heavy, they're loading down the trees and breaking smaller branches. Something we had talked about where you see these, where you see a fruit tree at the beginning of the season and it's just nothing but blooms. You should have a little bit of green in there that you can see. And if you've got nothing but blooms, well, then you go out there with a little snipper and you take some of the blooms off. There's a reason because it is good to have all that food, that fruit production, but if the fruit production damages the trees, literally branches snap off and even fairly large branches, depending on how much weight's there, that defeats the purpose because remember, your fruit trees are multi-generational producers. You want to husband them for the long run because they're good for decades. Another thing here real quick is because of that, take advantage of the benefits of what's coming with regard to the fruits, apples of course being one. We just got a bunch of pears, Nancy wants to dry today and or we'll be putting in the dryer probably this evening. And we've got a bunch of other food stuffs for doing the same thing with bananas, etc. We have always a certain amount of freeze dried apples, freeze dried pears, freeze dried peaches, freeze dried, god forgive me, air dried, just conventional air dryer. We've done this forever, as long as we've pretty much been married. And again, we've just gotten bigger and better at it. So it's one of those things where when you do the oatmeal we told you to buy, You grab some of those pea dried peaches or apples off the shelf, throw them in with some cinnamon, a little bit of whatever sugar, not very much, just enough to give you some sweet. You don't have to be, it doesn't have to be like dipping your head in the sugar jar. And guess what? You've got everything you need. Take care of a decent meal without a whole lot of hard, you know, hard to do high tech. Oatmeal is one of those big last minute purchases I recommend you make if you can. Now I've been fortunate. I've either gotten tons of oatmeal, and I'm not exaggerating when I say tons, tons of oatmeal for free or for so cheap it was a giveaway. And we've taken advantage of that. What's really cool is it's usually been industrially packed, and in fact vacuum packed, et cetera. So all we do is barrel it, leave it the way it is, and we've got multi-protection layers on top of whatever we're putting it in. So we have the ability to grab and run or I can hand it out to someone. Well, they need so much food. They need, you know, we got a bunch of people over here at another encampment or maybe a unit that's coming through. Well, we guesstimate we can at least give them so much food so they can get them a hot meal. They're going to have to do that. We'll give them all the tools off the shelf. I'm going to say something else. I have been getting a lot of free food in large quantity. Hopefully it's going to continue to be that way and I'm sure it is. We won't last forever, nothing ever does. But we've been running into certain arrangements, deals, and locations where we've got an idea of what's happening. And this is stuff that will benefit, at the very least it's pass out food. Something that most of you probably don't think about, but everybody who supports the militia. Well, when the time comes, what do you have where you can line up 25, 30, 40, 50 people and make sure that they've got something to fill the void? A cup of oatmeal, congratulations, an energy bar. Oh, by the way, here's a cup of coffee or here's a cup of Kool-Aid, whatever. In addition to whatever other small pack items that I have barrels of or crates of, so I can hand out a pack of peanuts or hand them out a little package of candies, something that's nibbles. And nibbles are not bad. It's the idea is to change stuff up, give them some diversification. But we do it just like any other military operation. You've got one person standing each station, you pull from what's there, everybody gets the same amount of material, you don't like it, give it to somebody else, but we can at least make sure that you've got a meal as you're passing through or while you're garrisoned here. If we've got a group of people we have to take care of, we can deal with them, or groups. Prior pepper planning prevents piss poor performance. Oh, I need to have spice and flavorings and you know flavor change up So, you know if you like hot sauce, oh we got hot sauce. Trust me on that one. We have We have hot sauce. I'll let you take some with you when the time comes. Trust me on that one So anyway, we were talking about batteries another thing If we start to look like we're gonna go into it's the end of the world as we know it Okay, if that's what's gonna happen Then if you're organized as a group, I would remind you to get your people together, come up with a dollar amount that you can hand over to one person as a designated purchasing agent. And you may still just all do this on your own, but for the group's benefit, Everybody take a certain item that you know with a list and tell them to go clear out like for instance or do it up and buy all that they can with the dollar amount you have in the purse. But for instance batteries. I would go so far simply say most people won't be realizing until it's too late what they need but Dollar Tree. No I know there I know what those batteries are. But Dollar Tree you go in you clean them out. Every battery they got, in every little looking cranny, put it in the cart, take it to the front, buy it, get out of there as quick as you can. When the time comes, plan ahead. You may choose to use, I would use plastic over cash because the plastic digit is gonna be useless. You know, boom. Well, your digit cards are just out the window. Save the cash and save your silver, silver for last and gold for last. But running currency is the next step after things shut off. I will point out though that if we get into a real war situation, there is nothing that the government is gonna be able to do that will stop people from charging what they feel the people can bear in the way of price. Now in some cases, this might be just absolutely necessary, but the very least it's gonna be gouging right away. With every passing day that it's realized there's nothing coming down the road, then the price is going to change. And availability, needless to say, will maybe even limited by the people who are selling it because they want to keep more customers happy so that they can make the maximum profit off whatever they have sitting there. Fuel is obviously going to be this way. Batteries and other technologies are going to be in the same situation. Oil will take longer, petroleum products will take longer. I still recommend that as far as right now, for instance, one of the best things you can do is buy a case of oil for the vehicles that you have for oil change. That's just one item that you can put on the shelf. Oil doesn't go bad. It's not going to go stale. It's not going to fail you. First choice would be the proper oil based upon performance of the vehicle, what's required. But the second option, if you run into a situation where those oils are gone, then you're going to have to take second best at whatever it is that might be on the shelf and run with that. Put that at least into your inventory. Now remember, there's two things you can do. You can trade as everything will be bartered, trade sold and exchanged. as needed to get what you need if you feel you want to stick with, for instance, a certain product, a certain type of oil, certain grade of oil. You can also be manufactured. Some people are that finicky, but you have to have something to work with. And again, remember that all of the POL products that are in your vehicle, you need at least have a few containers of each. Your brake fluids, hydraulic, you know, like power steering fluids, even with regard to other greases that you're going to need for under the hood and for the suspension. Doesn't have to be the fanciest or most expensive technology to apply it, but you need all of that on the shelf in a kit form. That'll be for part of your ongoing escapades after things start to kick off. And again, if we diversify and we disperse, we are stronger. The more spread out all the technology is the better off we are. Centralization kills. Always remember that. Centralization kills. And that's why we want everybody to be individually prepared first. Now another thing, copper wire and wire of any kind, here's a cheap way for a solution for a lot of what we've got to do for combo. Save any wire you can get your hands on. Just get yourself a trash barrel from a resale store. I'll tell you what, in Michigan, about a Michigan around Dundee, there's a guy, and I've been trying to get back with this person. He had a trash company. He has fields, or he had fields of the standard trash barrel with wheels that they would take out and put in front of your house. He also has larger dumpsters and bins. Well, these are very efficient for storing bulk items without having to micromanage. Example, you run into copper wire, you get a pile of it, you're looking by, looking at construction site, guy has a bunch of trimmings. Right now, what do you do with it? Box it, or preferably just bag it up. And if you can, sort it a little bit. In fact, if there's anything like wire nuts or connectors or anything, pull those out of there. They gotta go into your toolkit and your repair kit. But wire of any kind, cords, if you're going to get rid of something, you smash the coffee pot. Snip the cut wire off the end, take that and put it into the box if you've damaged the coffee pot maker. If you still have the coffee pot, put that into storage because that's a chemistry beaker for work down the road. That's thermal glass. It can handle heat. It's no different from any other test tube or beaker or anything else you might be using for laboratory work except it's already paid for and no one's gonna think about it. Think twice about it being on the shelf, but as far as for what it will be used for down the road, guys, these are all things that most people aren't gonna think about. copper wire of any kind, why? Well, because if I need to fabricate antennas, if I need to bridge or jump something, if I need to build something, I need the wiring and cabling to get the job done. And that's where, again, another one real quick, this sounds weird, save any broken tape measures you have, toss those into what I call a fixtures barrel. It's a fixtures barrel. Anything that's plastic or metal that is manufactured, that is a geometric object of some kind. Example, the elevated battery bases that you get from the store when they're brand new. A lot of people don't use them or don't want to because they don't need them. Well, don't throw that out. That's a square geodetic frame. that can be used for something else if I'm fabricating. If I'm sitting there and look at something and I go look in your junk pile, if I pick a little widget here and a few pieces there, oh, wait a minute, there's a frame I can reattach everything to, that little battery base, those are all useful things brand new out of the package, already paid for it, because you paid for the battery, you just didn't need that other item. But all of these things may be useful when you're improvising, adapting, and overcoming. just like the pieces of wire. So think ahead on that one. Tell you what we're gonna do. We're almost to the bottom of the hour. I know Ed may still have some problems with our one feed. We'll find out a little later there. Let us know if you're having any problems with any of the feeds that we control. You can get over into Discord and give Ed an update on that. But let's play Safety Dance. and Safety Dance is another one of those pieces about the same time as 99 Loof balloons. Oh my god, they're like little clear devices that might open buns. The balloon will go up, sir. Well, the bombas. But anyway, Safety Dance, which by the way, is another one of those pieces that it's interesting. It's actually just a cool little drive-in piece. I just thought it's like light mech. You know, it's kind of a light mech piece. Okay. But at the very end of that, first of all, it looks like it's in medieval times. It's all depicted as medieval times. And you get to the very end of the video and all of a sudden there's all these pictures of nuclear war, missiles going off, all kinds of stuff. Here we go. Safety dance. We want to a place where they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind And we can dance Cause your friends don't dance And if they don't dance Well there are no problems of mine Say we can go like so they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind Don't say Leave from our hearts to our feet That's a prize and with a victory cry Say we can act like a nimbus hill But we can dance, we can dance, can you get your hands? Everybody's taking the chance. Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they can control. Like at the end, that's all the anti-war images are in that whole video. Which is why most people lose it or miss it because they're not being attentive. Or, you know, sometimes it was especially with MTV. They might just... Yeah, I'll start to fade out, you know, like you normally would if you were a DJ back in the day, guys. Just a heads up on that one. Anyway, real quick, something. I think that pinging music in the background there is my CIA trigger audio sound because I felt like clotheslining a whole bunch of mosh pit guys, just running them down. Because I heard that sound, it was like a trigger. The first time I heard this, I was like, this would be cool to be like, you know, moving with. It's like we will we will rock you Every time I ever heard my first time I heard that song I'm thinking armor and I'm thinking All the imagery of you run to the vehicle Dropping into a main battle tank. Okay, or a Sheridan or something like that and what you when you hear that boom boom boom It's the turret tracking boom boom Your image would be flashing to what the you know what the gunner sees or what the tank commander sees But you're panning the vehicles panning while it's hunting Okay, each one of these you know it's cool stuff. You can do with it. Yeah, you know battle imagery, but the thing is Real quick again music is does paint an image and you can make it you know you can create a You know, innuendo and, you know, ideas quite easily by taking the music, even when it's out of, that's out of context from what, no it's not. It's amazing how your mind will blend. If you present the image and throw it in there, it's sometimes a juxtaposition with music, totally reverse of what you'd expect. works really well. Edward has a group, they're doing kind of like what are basically theme background music and we've got several pieces that are actually stored or I've got them on a music mix CD and it's taking the music like words you'd recognize including some which are typical from this period we're talking about the anti-war thing, Mike and the mechanics, silent running. Can you hear me? Can you hear me calling? Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you? Okay, well that piece done with this group, but done in more of like the epic dynamic action type of, you know, for the music itself that the words are adapted to. So it's actually a skew to the way it was originally intended, but it works really well, okay? Anyway, real quick, I want to touch back on batteries before we're getting farther because I know people have asked me before and I had three or four emails a few days ago that I actually looked at real quick. What would my preference be between nickel cadmium, metal hydride and say, well, like lithium ion? And there's a few other newer ones that really are not common. You know where you'll find them? You'll find them in photography slash imagery collection and you'll find them obviously right now in the intelligence circles. But the problem with every one of these is specialized charging systems. So here's the thing, you might like the battery but if you don't have the support system to go with it, you're not going to get it to work. In fact, you can create very sad and drastic response, violent response in some cases. So, here's one of the things I will remind you about, and this is why I'm always watching for charging units. I buy charging units no matter what they are. If I can get them for free, I go to a freebie box or I have a couple of places I can go that are really cool because you never know what you're going to run into there. And if I get charging stations for, you know, usually he'll make a deal, like if I buy a big pile of stuff, it might be $10 for everything there. So I get everything for 25 cents or 50 cents or 30 cents, because it gives you a good deal, okay? Well, those charging stations all have not, you know, they all have Different missions for different types of systems in many cases. Example, some of them are for photography equipment, for photo equipment, which was running NiCAD or whatever. And they may be in charging blocks. Okay, they have their own, what we've talked before about... It's mission specific charging decks. You can't do anything but whatever the battery is. You've seen this with electric trills. Okay? Proprietary equipment all the time. However, you can take those leads and connectors off of that existing box or bucket that's there. And you've already got the circuitry on board to work with, like say, you know, metal hydride. Because that's what they committed to with that, like maybe a port or cable system. Okay, it could be any number of different industrial tools. So what you do is you take that and adapt it once you know what the values are and you can make a dock or at least make a fixture adapter so that you can run the equipment you do have in the field or the location if it is of whatever committed type of battery you're using. You're going to have to mechanically change it. You're going to have to either come up with jumpers, whatever, but you can do that. However, you can't just make it from scratch, you know, just pull it out of your arse right away. It would take a lot more work than a few pennies worth of, hey, buy it, wrap it up, put it in a plastic bag. I put everything in Ziploc bags and then put it on the shelf and know what it's for, what its value is. Like right now, I separate stuff by, you know, nickel cadmium, metal hydride, lithium ion, and mercury core. That's one of the new ones. They don't see very much in that, but you are seeing some of the illumination technology, okay? Lights, in other words, flashlights. What would my preference be? Well, I'm running into a lot of NICAD, Nickel Cadmium batteries right now. I mentioned that about a week ago. I got a bunch of them for free just about. And they're brand new batteries. I mean, in fact, sadly enough with one, they were starting to cut cords off of the power chargers and the thing had batteries in the chargers, brand new. So, I got them anyway, for obvious reasons. If I pay 50 cents and I get six brand new rechargeable C-cell NICAD batteries, I'm way ahead. For 50 cents? Okay, think about that. However, one of the things you don't want to do is, like we said, mix and match. Almost all of these are cylindrical battery options, and because of the The standards for the day, I just mentioned C-cell. C-cell is still out there, but not like it used to be. AA and AAA took over everything just about, which is good because of size. But it's bad because of storage capacity. If they were to continue to build batteries the way they're supposed to, guys, a D-cell battery has much more time and service. But here's the problem. A lot of the D-cells, like I mentioned over at Dollar Tree, You'll notice that they're lighter than your copper top counterpart. Why? Because what they've been doing is taking the guts of a lesser battery like a triple A or well double A in this case and putting it inside the casing for a D cell battery. Now it depends on which company it is and if you do an autopsy on these you'll see what I'm talking about. Be careful when you do it. But it's interesting if you've got a light in the loafers C or D cell. And it's a conventional alkali battery or conventional iron battery. When you were, if you were to open it up, you'd find that there's another little battery cell in there. And lo and behold, what they've done is created a jumper, and it's really just the body and workings of a double A battery inside the other battery hole so you can still use your equipment. Will it have the same endurance or lifespan? Nope. But it would keep you in business so if I were to go in and clean out say a dollar tree of every battery they had Yep, I'd still take the D's I still take the C's and I would also take the 9 volt batteries now That's another thing not everybody they're not making friends and say did make night CAD batteries for 9 volt And a lot of you guys may have either like the micro FM or you've got a lot of the other newer, there's some that are still doing 9 volt batteries instead of 1, 2, 3s. And if you do, the thing is, again, if you're going to commit to one of these higher metal batteries, if you can find them or if that's what they come with, then you by God better make sure that if you're gonna go somewhere that you're charging it, which typically won't be very big anyway, because it's probably as, you know, they're trying to minimize the docks because they make more money for doing less. But the advantage of the docks you put the batteries in being smaller, is it makes them more mobile for the kind of work we're doing. You see what I'm talking about. If I got to carry my backpack, I don't want a battery pack the size of a book. I want it to be something where I can take the battery. Usually what it does, like the Porter Cable Company, I mentioned them a couple times here today, Porter Cable, the docks that they have right now, the portable ones just clip right onto the battery itself and are one third the size of the battery. purely enough just to put connectors in place and the wall work that plugs into the wall does all the work. Okay, they Instead of it just being the dock and all the most of the electronics being there. It's in the wall fixture that gets plugged into the 110. Okay, if you're going to use these specialized units and you're looking at going to war now understand that your allies will probably try to provide you with power. They'd like you to be able to hit who you're shooting at. So, if you have the technology, if you have, for instance, a night vision or a thermal device on the roof of your weapon, you've got a laser on one side, you've got a flashlight on the other side of the foregrip, you've got every bell and whistle and electronics there. You might want to consider making sure that in your backpack, you have whatever is needed, depending upon how specialized the batteries are in those units. And if it's a proprietary, like right here I have a UNIDAN dock in my hand right now. This is for one of the FRS radios, actually one of the nicer ones. And it's a sitting station dock so the radio can sit upright. You can actually use it while it's in the dock if you needed to. What it has is a female fixture you plug in obviously for your power going to the wall work on the wall. It's not very big. It's lightweight. I can put this in a ziplock bag, take the wall wart, roll it up, put it in another ziplock bag, put the two of them into a bag. Why did I do that? Because I don't want to, I'm trying not to compromise anything. I want to make sure everything stays as clean and dry as possible, especially if I'm carrying in the field. But if I'm a minute man, then I roll that up, I put that into my backpack. Well, I know I'm adding a lot of stuff to your list. Remember, first of all, we are a hoplite type response unit. as militia, we are heavy. We are a heavy and heavy infantry formation. We go in heavy because we don't know who's going to be supplying us at the other end. We don't know where we're going to be deployed at the other end. And we're going to make sure that if we have special whiz-bang technology that we do commit to, we have everything we can in the field to get it done. Like I said, this thing is very lightweight, this dock. However, if you keep adding lots of ultra light things to a backpack, it becomes ultra heavy real quick. So I understand that by doing this, I've added, you know, a part of it, a couple ounces barely of weight because the wall work's going to cost more. But I'm going to still carry it because I need it in order for me to perform more effectively in the field. Most of you probably haven't thought about that, which means that your lifespan with the existing rechargeables is what, 22 to 24 hours depending on the unit you've got what it's doing. If it's radios, for instance, if it's optics on your weapon, it would depend on whether or not it's night service specific night vision, or if it's, for instance, all operational period thermal. Thermal's gonna be a 24-7 thing. How long are you turning it on? How many times are you turning it on and turning it off? Or how are you going to leave it on and keep using it? Part of the math formula, remember every time you turn an electronic device you've seen this, usually people used to do little videos on this, you have a surge spike in consumption of energy which drops back down to the operating norm. But if you keep turning a radio or a piece of equipment on and off, that energy spike, you're not going to get that energy back. So this is why you have to balance it out, turning the thing on and off 20-30 times in an hour or just leaving it running at what is considered to be maintenance performance level. Either way, you're burning power. Okay, always remember that. But when you get to that 24 hour mark, now what are you going to do? Now if your unit is battery or proprietary, You're in trouble because you better have a second battery, but then what do you do if that's the only two batteries you have? And probably it is. How are you going to recharge anything? Again, your allies are going to be looking at things that they can do to replenish. So if the wall power is still out there, they're going to help to plug it in. If it means prioritizing use of generators to get certain equipment powered back up so it's all 100%, your allies will typically be willing to do that. But this is math that's part of the time and distance formula. So you got to remember Are the metal hydride the cats meow they were for a little bit But metal hydride you if you're familiar with all these different battery types, okay? Night cat just goes until it pinners out and it's done and there's actually a little spike at the end Where you get a last gas to let you know that you're in trouble Things are a little brighter, a little louder, but then it's done. Then you have to recharge. With metal hydride and lithium ion, totally different sign wave for performance and energy available. And again, that drop off real quick, okay, in fact, you don't really want to take any of these batteries, try to avoid taking them to the very end of their charge. Now, it used to be they argue with the NICAD you should run it to the end and that way the battery is set to what its capacity will be and will recharge at the same level. What we eventually discovered, depending on who made the NICAD though, like Japan or Taiwan or Indonesia before we had China, is that that wasn't true. Every time you took it to the end, no matter what, didn't make it was what you did. You're going to lose a percentage of small, small percentage, but it adds up to the point where by the time you're done, your battery capacity and charge allowance was one third at the later end of the life of the battery. It would be one third of what is actual performance level should be. But that's not a problem because it's still working. The problem is if you had to carry it because NICADs were typically in bulkier battery pack configuration for a different era. So C cell and D cell were the more common. D cell was dominant. And needless to say, like with the metal hydride and the lithium, they also make proprietary or rectangular batteries, which are to a degree standardized, to a degree. Again, you have to have the special docs and support for it or you're not recharging it without maybe a boom. Well, you won't recharge it because you get a boom. Okay. Another thing here too is again, in all cases, like with the nightcaning, a strong performance at high and low temperatures, which is the big thing. Both of the newer the metal hydride and lithium you get high high energy storage, but the ion you get lightweight well you lost something with the lightweight because they found out that the Lithium ion don't quite have the life in you know in charge for each charge That the first two have it's interesting the way they drop off So again each one plus and minus each one an advantage and as disadvantages With the night cat the energy declines quickly I can never forget that because when we were doing what used to do reel to reel Sony Recording technology before we had cassette you had reel to reel and they were portable field units the army invested heavily in these and That was a lot you had you still can kind of like re wasn't as bad as say We're handling film because if you exposed film before I've been processed you're you're dead But the thing about reel-to-reel is that you still had a delicate piece of recording technology you had to be very careful of during the process of change out, okay? So if you could run and you know to the end it'd be great, but one of the problems is that the Battery life was up and down low to medium in terms of by comparative study to the newer stuff coming up But, but NICAD can handle the temperatures that these newer ones, to a degree, have had some hiccups with that we're finding out. And then don't forget that they also incorporated, I don't think there's anything in NICAD that was ever an electric car, but the other two, the electric car, both the metal hydride and lithium ion and even the newer processes, each one has had its disadvantages discovered in terms of It's endurance under thermal conditions, cold or extreme hot. And the same is true if you're infantry, okay? So it's whatever it is you do commit to, you need the charging units. You have to have a compatible charging unit in the field with whatever you're doing. You better make sure you have it in the field. If it's back home in the garage and you end up 45th half way, let's put it this way, halfway across the state, fighting. Well, it ain't gonna be any good to you and improvising or having a scavenger, you know, think about this. If we can take it into the field with you and then deploy it, then you can manage it locally and probably will get more life out of whatever it is you've carried into the field. If you don't do that, you're gonna have to scavenge, scrounge, and someone's gonna have to identify an available tool in the toolbox to fix what you got wrong. In other words, find a charger and then it may or may not be compatible with what you've got. By the way, this is true a lot with a lot of you guys that bought the Chinese radios. I don't care which model it is. We've talked before about the... If they are proprietary battery, they're good radios, but you better make sure you have spare battery packs and that you are not just burning one down and leaving in the charger over and over and over and over again. That is in and of itself operating the battery. Don't forget that. What you want to do is pull the battery, put the other one in, take that battery full charge, take it out and use it. Use your equipment, especially practice with your radio equipment. So bring down the charge, take it to where it needs to be, get it back in the battery deck. Congratulations, you're doing things right, okay? Now, in the same breath. You if ideally the radio equipment you have like the the CB radios I just mentioned I picked up the other day in fact one's charging right now it uses double a Rechargeables and it has nightcads in it The good thing I got a dock the loading that I actually paid attention and actually saw the dock even though it wasn't with a radio And I got the dock for this old Beastie boy 40 channel I'd say early 80s manufactured unit and then mostly hand manufactured, you know, a different era. Works beautifully, does everything it's supposed to do, and it's got more power than I'd see most any other radio I've got that's in the inventory. But the good thing is this. Okay, the nightcads, let's say they go bad. They're double A pattern battery standard. I can take whatever double A's I scavenge, put them into that radio and make it work. Now, if you have a 1, 2, 3 battery and you're first of all, it is committed to being rechargeable, there's a far less number of 1, 2, 3 batteries out there, but at least they exist in conventional alkali type batteries that are available. Copper tops are out there over the place. I keep running those at yard sales, on the card, brand new and issued. People making deals or whatever. One of the things I would point out, now that I'm a jog my memory on that, there is a quantity of long storage life, Duracell batteries that are popping up all over the place. They're actually now in the distressed merchandise stores. Now if you pay attention, they're guaranteeing, they're claiming that these things are good for 10 years on the shelf. Now once you plug them in, you remember the old energy counter goes down. But especially right now if you can go to like Big Lot or might even I doubt you'll see him at Dollar Tree But any of the other resale shops or stores like Ollie's and Michigan and other states Everybody has a company that's doing this. They're like Big Lot used to be The these batteries are actually very reasonably priced. They are the package will emphasize that the packaging I've seen normally is either in threes or sixes. They are, I've seen D cell, C cell, nine volt, but I haven't seen the smaller, I'm sure they made them because they're, these are relatively new. But for whatever reason, and I'm sure that that's probably changed in the last few weeks or months. for whatever reason they didn't mark it out the way they expected. Now maybe they also just realized, oh God, we just sold a bunch of products that people will have confidence in them so they trust our name, so they won't be buying more batteries. Oh, we can't have that. So that may be one of the reasons that's really a serious issue is remember, I can make a battery that lasts forever. Well, how long before the battery plant closes down? Because it doesn't need to sell as many batteries. That's another problem. Again, watch for those. They are, I don't have the name right in front of me, but I picked up a pile, but a yard sale. And again, these are supposedly good to, the ones I picked up are good to 2028. So no matter what, I mean, granted, they're supposed to be 10 year lifespan at least. Needles to say they already person it bottom and had him on the shelf and but for whatever reason they're cleaning out Grandma's house out And she had a whole bunch of these batteries and the price was right So that's how you're gonna probably find them or big lots or whatever you've got in the resale store Keep an eye out for them. Take a look at the price do the math. See if they're worthwhile for you This is not a great, exciting subject. It's not shooting at somebody, but it may get you to be able to communicate, to drop a motor round, an artillery round, or call in for air support, or a drone, one of our drone strikes. You know, we're gonna, you know, the Buzz Bomb one-way drone, you know, actually it's called a guided missile. But we'll call them drones now. They're drones, everything's drones. And robotoids, don't forget nematones, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids, and dronetoids. So the big thing here again is you need to maintain communication, you need to maintain those weapon sites and optics we're talking about. You need power. But know what this stuff is. Well know what you've committed to. If you haven't done this yet, you better go take a better look at what you bought. If it's rechargeable, find out what's under the hood. And once you know what's under the hood, buy more to make sure you can keep it running, depending on what it is you got. and try to line up the same so that you don't have to carry two or three different systems. You want to carry two because you'll be carrying, if you're using triple A, double A, or nine volt, and you can use alkali batteries, yeah, you have alkali batteries on standby. I have found with most of the new FRS radios that they all have about the same lifespan with either the rechargeable batteries that they come with or a standard alkali copper top. No name brand, maybe an hour and a half, two hours less, but we have run equipment 24 hours left it on. And the FRS radios mostly are energy sippers. Sippers, as in they don't take too much at once. When they're in maintenance mode, just on standby, they're pretty efficient for being able to leave on. So that's a consideration. And again, each one of the systems have advantages and disadvantages. Remember those radios also do not have the range of many other far more powerful radio transceivers in other classes and categories. But remember that if you want more range and you have more output, more wattage, you're going to eat more power faster. This is what they're finding out with these, real quick, they're closed, with these Ford trucks. Oh my God, I'm pulling a load and I lost half my capacity to drive today. Oh, I was going to do two trips, but I can only do one. Oh, it's like, and of course, everything a guy did with the truck, eight more power. And all of a sudden there's actually a meter of the dash there telling you what your available, you know, distance is based upon what the battery, you know, is going to have taken from it by the drive unit. And it was rather comical, but it's not a surprise. It's just everybody seems to forget that unlike that car or your pickup truck or diesel truck, gas or diesel, if your energy level's a little down, you just pull into that gas station and load up in a few minutes. And I can get it down to only having to do it in a few minutes. But with having to wait 35, 40 minutes for an electrical piece of equipment, that's time lost in travel. I can't get that time back. And it costs more for the recharge with electrical and will continue to charge more than that restock with gasoline introduced into the fuel reserve for a combustion engine. Time is money. And if I have to set up my dead ass and wait for my car to charge up because it's going to take 35, 40 minutes. And again, they're saying, well, most people don't have even the speed chargers. Well, then in some cases, theoretically, it would take longer. The biggest thing, the guy was watching with the meter folding on the car is that, again, he had planned two trips, but it turns out with the charge that he had, but turns out that that wasn't gonna happen. That he had to reformulate the math based upon consumption, and it was extreme. And it's inconvenience. Inconvenient to recharge and do what you need to do. With the Tesla, if you get it down below 10%, it takes 24 hours to charge the vehicle. They do not recommend that you drive the vehicle below 25% after you've stopped it when the charge has gotten that low. So, what about that messed up? Well, the way I would, okay, well, look at electric cars. Remember I've talked about this before. If the cars were recently priced, which none of them are, I would use the electric car as your close in commuter. Just like originally electric cars were proposed 100 years ago, 120 years ago. You didn't use it to go cross country. They set them up for you to jump in them and you could go shopping or you could go whatever you had to do to visit Aunt Molly or whatever. And then you have your cruising vehicle, which by the way is where the idea of the touring car, you hear that term? Touring car, a more comfortable, larger capacity, greater energy output, energy available as far as performance. And I keep thinking this weekend, you know, a car that always impressed me. My dad pointed this out and every time I looked at him, I understood what he was saying. Hudson's were one of the best made cars of their era. It was a smaller company. They were out of Michigan. But you could walk into a Hudson. You didn't crouch down or step down into the car. You didn't have to step up like you were trying to go up two steps with one step distance in terms of the way the thing was engineered. You walked into the car, you sat down, it was like you're in the couch in your living room. You're in the back seat, it was comfort, but it wasn't a Cadillac, it was a well-made car. Cadillac was considered top-in-the-line and grossly expensive in so many ways. The big thing is, it was simple, but it was a very comfortable design for the average American. And today, you and I wouldn't even know what to do with that car. Guys, you're so used to crapoo slash planet crapoo, you know, sardine that to have a vehicle where you could literally walk straight into it, sit down, go down the road and you could be have a conversation, you could fall asleep, but you wouldn't even know you were in the vehicle for that period, that era. And that's, there's no reason that we can't make that right now and make it with all the sophistication and developments we have. So you either get craft poo and tiny and or craft poo with some special tech or you have to spend money to make something like that for you, make something you want for yourself or spend the money on something much bigger and larger, like I said, Suburbans, Tahoes. Those that didn't mention Fords and picking on Fords. One other thing about this electric pickup truck is too many gimmicks all that break too easily and would be broken very fast. Very quickly. In Michigan with salt weather, that truck, by God, that electric truck is an absolute waste of resources. If you have to baby the vehicle because there are too many widgets and bells and whistles and doodads, It defeats the purpose behind a pickup truck or a vehicle like that in the first place. It's too much gimmicky crap that is poorly made because it's made in the 21st century and it doesn't match what is the actual potential of the electric truck. Still electric truck is limited I wouldn't I'm not talking about any long-range with it if I was using it for a local work truck or local utility truck It'd be fine Biggest problem is if you watch the videos of the people are actually working with these vehicles right now Everything you do eats up distance everything anyway, I talked about eating up distance We're five minutes plus stop there. I'm way past where I should be here guys For everybody out there, batteries, remember, check your equipment, make sure your weapon systems are ready to go. Bad guys can spring on us at any time. The trainers are watching, they're ready for them and they're dealing with a new world order. I'll be back at 8 o'clock. Bye-bye. Or one if I land to it by sea, a trumpet's call, the will to be free? And what of a man who stood straight and called a weapon, silent tears when he saw brave men fall? No matter, no difference, the blue or the gray, all were his brothers. How often he'd pray. And what of Antietam? That now peaceful stream where the water blood red, glittered and gleamed. Appomattox, Chickamauga. Vic's bird, bull run, Cumberland, Getty's bird, and then Washington. Why are you marching, son? In Flanders Field, how proud were they whose forms beneath the poppy's lay? Men who saw Verdun and died at the marne, sois d'honne, and those who tried the fearful poet, Cetna of Derry, who fought and bled, his hearts grew weary. But in whose minds one thought kept churning? Let the torch of liberty keep burning. Why are you marching? The planes swarmed in and the rising sun glowed fiercely on the evil dawn to men whose blood runs through our veins. Who died remains life forever locked in. Water's deep. Now is it right that they should sleep while the warm sea lapsed at the twisted hull and see the torch of liberty grow dull? Anzio, Pacino, Bulb? Summery Glace, Limon, Saint Lo, Garda Lake, and Buchenwald. On and on the roll is called. And why? Why are you marching, son? Bugle's shrilled in the frozen night and in First Dawn, the awful sight of the seas of men. Row after row, left to die on the bloodstain snow. Busan, Pyongyang, Suwon, Gyeongju... and blood-red rams with jell-u. In South Vietnam, the big guns roared and once again we fought a war. To honor a pledge our nation gave, to help that little country save her people from the certainty that she'd be ruled by tyranny. Where the big guns roared, armed fighting men like those before, take the torch we all held dear and face freedom's enemies without fear. Our fathers died from sea to sea and blessed the torch of liberty. 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 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 harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevailed 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, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the free to the flame no way. Yes way Oh burst into flame. Well, sir, that's aircraft in the air during nuclear strike Yeah, lots light bulb big big burn. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, good Evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report timer kirky. I'm Larry Lawson One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east north and Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite. We'll say hi to the Maru crews, many different groups out there across all of the oceans of the planet and inland who are rebroadcasting us in a very creative way with satellite, cell phone, uplink and downlink systems. So we appreciate that. Also, a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. Larry, it's been a perfect day here. I just went out and covered up the garden before too late for the stuff I'm still going to save and get into the greenhouses or into the into the house. What's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall down there in the old West, which we now call the Midwest. This is Tuesday, the October 4th, 2022 AD. Yeah, we're supposed to get our first frost this weekend as well, so I just kind of grew a bunch of stuff and I've been taking the veggies down to the Food shelter. I haven't used a lot. I haven't canned a lot this year got a couple cantaloupes and a few tomatoes and just had more fun than anything else, but Yeah, they're talking about Oh, let's see. There was a bunch of chickens out in California and stuff chickens and other birds that have supposedly been contaminated with bird flu. Do we have Bioware fair going on? Probably I've watched the Chinese do this. I knew that it happened here sooner or later. They'd be taking out millions of chickens with a savian flu. Me, I lost one last night from a coon. Had one break into my pen. So, you know, on all these different levels, the food supply is dwindling and they're making this happen on purpose. And if you have not stocked some, you're going to go hungry. If you have stocked some, they'll probably label you a food hoarder. cut your head off or who knows what but I'd rather eat than not so yeah this is the great country that we're going into and it doesn't matter if you're Republican or Democrat I'm telling you you know you got pansy Graham on one side you get Chuck Schumer on another you get they're all corrupt government and perverts yeah you got it that's kind of a prerequisite to be president I guess whether it's Clinton Trump Biden you know you got to be a pervert on Obama Most of Biden's term is home Obama, you know, as a hand puppet. Valerie Jarrett, you know, the rest of these come. But then you get the creeps in the FBI that want to go around and intimidate parents that don't want their kids to talk to this garbage that's oozing from home Obama and Big Mike, you know. These are modern day checkers. And if you don't know what that word means, you really ought to go to YouTube and watch that video called the check is CHEK IST. That's what these people are. They're smiling with a badge with their own TV shows and everything. But yeah, they're destroying this country by clearing off Jeffy Epstein's Island and smashing Hillary's phones and covering up Hunter Biden's escapades, his drugs and family incest. You know, it goes on. But Trump is not your rescuer. No, no, no. Trump who worked with Henry Kissinger, who worked with Bill Gates, who is working with Klaus Schwab, you know, his daughter, Princess Incest Ivanka, is a protege of Klaus Schwab now, and Trump's all happy about that. China, China, China. Well, you didn't see Trump in the audience watching his granddaughter who was taught Chinese first by Princess Incest Ivanka and Jared 666 Kushner. You didn't see her singing in Chinese and then chanting praises to President Xi. That's what was creepy. Sounded like satanic, you know, chants. He's so wah, wah for a week, you know? And that's what they taught their granddaughter first, and Trump's there beaming. Yeah, but then another man, he'll say bad China, bad China, good China, good China, bad China. Wait a minute, weren't they saying, well was it, uh, Pedo, me, lick your feet? Isn't that what you're saying? Pat, don't leave. Lick your feet. Real quick before we go any farther. I don't want to go too far from the garden Larry Have you registered your garden with a fed yet? No, I did not even know that was a thing Well, actually once they thank you in one of our listeners video out there now and last year or two for we got a notice I got an email a week ago We didn't get to it because I missed it slipped in between the other 999 a day Turns out there's a web page where because we're all in this together and you know, you might need to pitch in You can go to the federal a federal site and it's I believe it's you know It's a federal government register your garden program and they will give you hints and tips about how to do things but first you need to tell them and send pictures and post pictures of Your garden on this bed site because we're all in this together And, you know, remember the Fabian Freeway I told you about guys and the tomato police slash read that the vegetable police, the garden police. Well, guess what? So this is actually going on right now. One kid registered. Everything was fictional that he put into the database. But going through it with all the questions they asked, basically it's what have you got in your backyard or what he got back there in the back 40 we didn't know about. So don't, don't, don't. Please don't. That's the only thing I ask. I don't know how to listen. The USDA, Dad. It's the USDA's website. They're the ones who are doing that. And if you read through their goals for this program, one of them is taxation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tax U.S. farmers. Well, again, this is why right now I had a conversation with a farmer here just a short, short time ago. about the very subject we're talking about, including the taxation issue. And I reminded him, because he was talking about killing woodchucks, okay? And I reminded him, I said, well, woodchucks are good, but we're probably going to have to get rid of other problems. And you might recall the American War for Independence, it was the farmers that led the way and it looks like maybe the farmers need to do it again. And he kind of stopped for a minute. And then he has, you know, the old story, the brain gears, you can see are gone. And he goes, You know, you're right. I mean, about the farmers. Well, they're not even be doing anything, but it's that it was farmers and they hate the farmers and you know they hate the farmers because you're a farmer, don't they? They all hate you and all the racketeers, all of the the the idiot sticks from the public fool system. All of them are conditioned to hate on the farmer, especially the flatulent cow farmers. Don't you know? Because once you stupefied people and get them so far away from the land, that they are so dumb, they are so ignorant that they would eat that dog vomit the public fool system way they have and it's the fault of the parents letting it happen. But as I pointed out, I said your kids know better, the people that are in your community know better, but there's a whole bunch of fools out there that are controlled by the communists that don't know any better. And that's why you're going to have to fight. That's simple, you're gonna have to fight. Anyway, hopefully I got some, I know I got the bringers going, but it was just the idea that, you know, you're not gonna be able to stand off to the side on this because they know food is a weapon. And you are a weapons master. If you're a farmer, you're a weapons master, and they perceive you as the enemy, not a friend, especially with what they're doing in this country right now. Another thing, Larry, I got to do some here real quick. I was talking about batteries. And let me qualify something here about, you know, I mentioned nycads, because nycads are not popular anymore. And there's a reason for that, because the energy declines quickly. And the low, it has low energy capacity. But you know, again, the energy declines quickly with use. However, you got to remember something. When night cans were out and we're around for really though I think they're around longer than these other two battery solutions right now or three or four because there's some new ones that are brand brand new None of them have everyone has a weakness don't ever mistake that everything has a weakness. I don't care how fancy how good you make it Something's got a glitch. Okay, but night cans were a hell of a lot better than we're carrying around a 12 volt car battery guys Now, everybody was really excited about years ago is when they came up with portable TV recording technology. Wow, and so you might recall that with these camera units that they had, you had a bat belt that was heavy enough you could drop it on someone from a second floor and kill them. It was still lighter because of the amount of power that you could store. as opposed to a car battery because that was your other solution. Edison batteries, which are fairly bulky and again only have so much capacity, but 12 volt batteries, you know, you can get a deep cell. However, what's the weight of a truck size car battery? You know, truck size battery. Oh, it's pretty stinkin' heavy, okay? So the big deal was, yeah, you might not be able to run as long, which is why most of the time you didn't just leave the camera running, you were on standby. And as soon as you saw something, you lit the camera up, heated everything up, started filming. As soon as you were done, you shut it off. Why? Because you only had so much time. You know how to husband the energy you have. So if you have NIKEDS, you just have to remember to use how to use them. That's why I was talking about I've been getting it I've been running into night cads for free or cheap To the point where I just couldn't pass them up. I actually have a whole oh It's probably equivalent to a milk carton of C cell night cad batteries between a donation that some one of our listeners who's listening right now Gave us and which was you know first layer We've added to that and I've got them all on standby rated and dated And when the time comes, hell yes, I'd use them. They are phenomenal while they're running. But again, as I pointed out, the drop off is pretty quick. However, if you really go deep into a NiCAD battery, the bad part is if you see a pulse where all of a sudden you get a pickup of what's happening, the process, I don't know what the dynamic process is with the elements that are used in the battery itself. But basically you have this power surge where everything brightens back up. Then she's down. Now if you deep use that battery like that, it's going to take even longer to recharge. Now I wanted to bring this up for a reason because, Larry, have you seen any of the videos on the new Ford pickup trucks that these guys are doing, the electric Fords? Uh oh, did we lose Larry? Might have another raccoon. I had one walk right by me last night while we were doing the program, by the way, which is kind of comical. I thought it was a cat, but it wasn't a cat. Do we still have Larry there? Okay, well, he might be taking care of something. Anyway, for everybody else. And after all, you're the one who's listening. What's fascinating about this is what I expected to see happen, which is the same thing that happened with the last two cycles of electric cars, you know, new, the newer cycles. All kinds of bells and whistles, but here's the problem. They've chinsed out the equipment, the vehicles to the point, because they're like plastic toys now. to try and shed all the weight that they could to make them as light as possible. And this is because, unfortunately, as the electrical system is used, everything plays into the discharge of the battery, guys. And so if you turn on an electric widget, and a lot of electric, here's one thing I see about these trucks. A lot of the electronic widgets on board can't be shut off. You can't really efficiently husband the electricity, the electrical use on these new vehicles. And I see that as a big problem. In other words, if I was in an airplane, I want you to go look at a cockpit of any aircraft. You'll notice there's an electrical control element. It's basically usually tied into the fuse box and whatever, which is kind of like on a an old British Land Rover in that in many cases, depending on the aircraft, your breakers and everything or your actual mechanical breakers that are fusible would be right below where you have the switches and controls. Okay, we got a feedback here. We've got it. Sorry sir, no you got it here dad. No, I was going to bring up. Yeah, if you look at the new Ford or any of the electronic vehicles that they bring out, which is what you're talking about, you have a dashboard that you normally would, but all of the analog is gone. It is all digital LCD screen. You got the, on the Ford trucks, you have this ridiculous monitor size panel between the driver and the passenger. That's an LED touch screen of all things, which it controls your battery, your weight load. It has all the stuff that it does, but if you don't have that, it doesn't work. And the only way to control it is that touch screen monitor that's the size of the computer monitor. So if you want to like regulate your weight, if you want to regulate your fuel, your battery usage, like you said, it has to be done with that thing on and it can't go off because it's tied in to your speedometer, your oatimeter, everything is digital on the damn thing. And because everything is digital, everything is running off the power, which means your battery life is going down. You can't, you can't, no. If they had brains, they would have put some analog things in there, you know, just to save on power. But of course, that's not what they're trying to do. Well, if you have an all-electronic system, like if you have an aircraft, if an aircraft can't stay in the air, it's dead. What's interesting is, even with the chargers they were using, they were doing a test where they had two trucks. One was diesel, the other one is the electric. They're both towing the same package. They're basically both the same unit. One is a Denali, you know, freestanding Denali design. One of the brand brand new ones. The other one is the new Ford, whatever the hell, the Electrolux vacuum sweeper model. And everything that I've seen so far with this, there's first of all, if you're in an airplane, you actually have, this is why I have these ultra intricate control panels so that you can mechanically shut down systems to conserve energy, guys. And your purpose is so that in the event you know your low power battery might take a hit, a bullet. Maybe one battery cell is shot, you've got some energy and it's depleting quickly. Or of the battery packs you have, maybe one of the batteries themselves is dead but the rest are functional. Well, there's ways that you can regulate all that, okay? There's nothing you can do to regulate this thing and there are too many widgets and trinkets that are absolutely gonna die and you can't afford to replace. Have you ever done OEM parts from General Motors or Ford? I don't care if they're Chinese or Mexican made. They are outrageous, okay? Outrageous, price-wise. Why is it Cadillacs were on the one hand really fun to own when they were new? but a nightmare to own when they were older. Why were they a nightmare later? Because they were really cool. Back in the day, what was the big deal about a Cadillac? Everything was electric. But you know what's the cost for an electric motor, for a window and a Cadillac cost? As opposed to say if you bought a Buick or just a regular Chevy? Oh, dudes, you're paying for Cadillac. And everything was like that. Anything and everything. Well, these electronic vehicles, you're in the same boat, except you're not getting any quality out of the deal. You're getting Chinese crapoo and Chinese crapoo gauge for plastics and materials, and you're not getting any substance. The other thing is, there's, you know, If you're going to design something, you better design at least a northern, North American slash northern North American model with little or no in the way of widget crapoo because it's not only going to break, but it's also going to rust. And there's not one of these vehicles that I've seen so far that in any way, shape or form are intelligently designed for, for instance, for say the Michigan environment. The other problem is, as has been repeated over and over again, is consumption, which then translates into reduced range. And what are you driving a vehicle? If you want to drive a vehicle at distance, and I thought this was rather comical, the new Fords. You have this special feature in the middle of the new Fords, Larry, where you can hit a button and the shifting control goes down. It's really cool. It's a separate little motor, by the way, guys. And then you lift this one panel and you fold it over and you have this big island between you and the guy or girl on the other side and the other rider's seat on the front seat. Well, what do you need that for? Well, since it's going to take you about 45 minutes to an hour to recharge, you get only, and then I just watched a video where we were eating between the hour here. And you have to sit for 45 minutes to get 75% charge. If you want a full charge, oh, it takes a long time. So of course, the guy went in, now here's what's cute, the one truck, both trucks had the same trailer, same weight. The one truck, which was a diesel, went to its location, dropped it off and still had fuel left in the tank to go back and finish getting back home. The other vehicle, the Ford, couldn't get to its destination without first charging. And on top of that, it was time. The other guy was already almost back home. I think he was pretty close to being back home while the first vehicle, the electronic vehicle was still trying to deliver what it had in the trailer, which was actually the trailer. That's what they were delivering. So again, my time is worth something. Reach into your pocket and give me 45 minutes. So, whereas in fact, we get pretty good at bragging that we can be like, you know, Mary Ann Durney's pit crew from back in the 70s. Where you get out of the vehicle, one person is doing one thing, one person runs in and get popped, or something to nibble on, and you're pumping the gas and diesel, whatever you got, and as quick as you're done, you hang up the nozzle, you get back in the vehicle, everybody shows up at about the same time, you're done and you're on the road. But the reason you have to have the stupid fold down table is because you might as well go in which is what they did. They went in and they bought chicken and they were going, look, we got chicken like that was exciting. And why did they need chicken? Well, they needed chicken because they're going to be there for almost an hour. Now, here's the other problem. I just read this to you here during the two hour block about batteries. That's with everything brand new out of the box. Let me ask you something you've dealt with electric and mechanical systems now guys Larry do things get better as they get older Yeah So can y'all picture how this is gonna work? Well the when I first got it It was only only 49 minutes. I mean only 49 minutes to recharge It's a 75% now mind you at 75% Here's the problem With the energy output necessary with the energy consumed to get the trailer to the destination They were gonna have to recharge again going back because before they got back to the point of destination They were gonna have to do another 75% recharge I'm sorry, that's really asinine but here's here's what really gets me is they were going Yeah, we got there faster with the diesel and it was eight point nine gallons per mile or 8.9 miles per gallon with that diesel to go the distance that they did. Guys, I got a 454 Chevy gasoline engine in a big ass mobile home command post. Some of you guys have seen it, okay? We drove that all the way out to Texas and it got between 15 and 17 miles to the gallon. So what happened with that? And by the way, this is a bare bones pickup truck. With a diesel engine in it, and I don't care what the trailer is. I don't know what the hell this is like talking about work ethic The Chevy is a diesel your Chevy's a diesel No, no my shit. No. No the Chevy engines a 454 no a 454 gas My point is the vehicle in the video that got eight point nine miles to the gallon pulling what was basically a camper trailer Both of the guys had camper trailers attached to these two brand new trucks Now the diesel won out over the electric truck hands down. Mostly it's because of time. Guys, my time is worth something. I can't get any more of it. So I'm making fumble up on my own. But having to wait 45 or 50 minutes to quote unquote refill the battery, in other words, charge the battery up, that's insane. And not only that, but remember, the guy ended up, because of the math, having to recharge twice. So while the one guy drove the same trip out, dropped the trailer off, and went back home before the other guy barely got out of the lot from the first charge, which was almost to the destination to drop the trailer off, the other guy was home, and the other guy who took the electric truck out He knew, he already admitted, that to get back home, he was gonna have to stop three quarters of the way. spend another hours worth of time sitting there on his dead ass doing nothing waiting for the electric truck to charge up. Now he didn't say it that way. Oh, he was real perky and well, you know, it's really got great pickup. That's the thing everybody keeps saying. I don't give a squat about the pickup of the damn thing is constantly a nuisance to my life's time. And I know it's not going to get to be more efficient. In fact, just the reverse. I still haven't seen with the price. In fact, guys, if anybody can, what is the price on a brand new, I'm jokingly called the Electrolux, it's got some other BS name, but it's like, you know, the super vacuum sweep or Ford pickup truck, the brand new electric one. What does it cost for one of these? If you think it's bad with regard to resale value with a diesel or a gas vehicle, Can you imagine what it's going to be like for devaluation on one of these electric vehicles, especially when you get it used? Do you know? I mean, there is not a component on that vehicle that I can see by what they were showing you. It's either chintzy, but going to be expensive to replace, or it's just going to be simply expensive to replace, period. Like we're talking $15,000. What is it for the battery pack, they said. Oh, but they now have people who can rebuild them, which by the way, let me ask you something. What's the warranty time on these vehicles? What's the warranty duration on one of these new electric trucks? Now, if I have somebody, if I hold on, if I have somebody else rebuild the battery, that reason, I guarantee that voids the warranty on the motor pack and the battery. They'll argue that. So if I have a battery cell go bad what they're doing now in fact, they're even rebuilding them So, oh, it's not going to be you know $15,000 maybe it'll only be $8,000 But that's a chunk. What's the price of a used vehicle? Hey dad for the Ford F 150 2022 Ford F 150 XLT electric model $58,588 for the basic model Another $10,000 on top of that if you want the home charger at the, what is it, $220,000 instead of the $110,000. And another $35,000 if you want a speed charger for your home. How much for the speed charger? Repeat. $35,000 for the speed charger alone. All right. What a deal. And remember the speed charger, the speed charger is what charges your battery in like an hour instead of 24 hours, but that does damage to your battery too. It eliminates some of that battery life you were just talking about. Right, exactly because what you're going to do, you're forcing the system, what it comes down to is it's not necessarily the battery cells first, it's going to be the processing circuitry that takes the hit. And you know what that's going to be like to find when there's a problem? Oh, God. Oh, God. I had to take it to the shop again. What's it cost? Oh, well, it was only a quarter of the price of the vehicle. Oh, that's okay. The dealership down here has got a little calculator. So you're If down payment is going to be about $11,718, then your monthly price on this thing to pay for is $777 a month. Estimated trading value is $0. If you want to trade this in after you've had it, it's worth nothing. So, when I said a minute ago, think about that. If you want to trade it in, we really don't know that it's worth that much. And, you know, by the way, if you're going to trade it in so it has zero value, zero trade-in value, there was something I saw. Okay, here's what was bizarre. If you go watch some of these videos showing you the F-150, guys, this is some of the gimmick crap they've got. They've got this little fold-down Steppe thing. That is, it's a rickety piece of crap. The only way to describe it. It's supposed to be a step up so that you can get up into the vehicle, but you know, you know, progressively. But built into the gate of the truck, there's this armature that comes out. And you know what it looks like? Have you seen the square-tubed trash pickers? It even sounded like it. I mean, they're about three feet long and you extend them out and they'll go six feet. You can go to the hardware store, you'll find better hardwares have them. And there's other things it's applied for. They use it, but you know, you got a little dimple pushing pin. Well, basically, that's what this is. It comes up. It angles up 90 degrees, it comes out. You lay the truck gate down, you pull the stupid chintzy China Sport piece of crap tube out, you then stand it up and it's supposed to be your arm pull for you like your handrail for going up these little steps. It's hard to describe it here, but it's asinine number one, but it's also chintzy. An American auto company should be embarrassed for having put that on an American vehicle. And again, what's it gonna be like in Michigan after three seasons? Or Ohio or Illinois or take a pic with Minnesota, Wisconsin. But especially if you're in Michigan, cuz we use salt, guys. Everything that hits that salt hits, it's acid for blood, aliens time. So, go take a look at this. There's a whole bunch of these art videos, but they're actually not complaining. They're going, well, this is kind of cool. And, you know, this is kind of neat. And it's like, no, because it looks like rickety China sport. It looks like something you used to buy from one of the mail order car parts companies where they had all kinds of neat ideas. And they did look good until you got, they got them and about a third of them, they just couldn't hold up. They weren't made of the right material, they weren't strong enough, etc. The idea was good, which is why you looked at them, man, that would be a good idea. But you bought it and then you got it and it's like, son of a bugger, I paid how much for that? But you put it out anyway for a little bit until it broke very quickly and then you took it off and put it in the garage or through the trash, depending on how you felt. That's what this vehicle looks like. That's what gets me about it. And it's like there's gimmicky stuff. There's like, okay, on the one hand, you can't drive the thing anywhere. I could see using it again. This is for the communist police state. Guys, think about this. The range, the more you try to do with the vehicle, the shorter the range. So this is the same as the gas tank typically being calculated to so that no matter what vehicle you have, you still only get the specific range out of the vehicle. If you got a vehicle that's a fuel sipper, like I've got a Silverado with a six banger in it, it does much better fuel-wise. But guess what? It's got a fuel tank that's, what, four or five gallons smaller. So I run one Silverado with the other Silverado side by side. They both use the same amount of fuel in terms of stopping at the gas station. quarter of a tank, it's a quarter of a tank for both of them. They get to almost empty, both of them got to pull it at the same time. Did I get better fuel mileage with the smaller 1500? Yeah. But I should have the larger gas tank on it so I could drive farther with it, but you can't. So think about what they're doing with the electronic vehicles keeping everybody on a really short, short, short leash. And this isn't even talking about brownouts or blackouts or rolling blackouts or maybe World War III. during the day during peak hours that California is paying Arizona and Mexico and other country to take their power from them. Not Arizona and Mexico is buying the power from California. California is paying Arizona and Mexico to take their power during peak hours during the day. But then at night, when you need the power the most, you can't run a C, you can't charge your car. Right. They don't have storage for it. So they're just dumping it into other areas and they're paying other people to take it. Well, first of all, you have this means the Jewish mob there doing exactly what they do everywhere. They've got the whole racket down to a science for theft from from forcing everybody to go into it to marketing the product, which should be more efficiently marketed, but isn't. And this gets back to again, like I told you guys, hey, I've been in most of the hydroelectric dams west of the Mississippi, except for like Hoover and a couple of the others. Guys, a handful of hydroelectric dams can power most of the west. In fact, at night, until they bollaged up all this crap here with what they're doing, most of the power for California did not come from California in the evening. It came from Montana, Idaho, and Eastern Oregon. I've seen the boards at night when they're running. I said, see how these guys are shut down? They're shut down. We're cheaper to buy. It's cheaper to buy the power from the Northern, the Northwest or the North than it was to produce the power in California. And they threw that all out the window with their stupidity. By the way, it was also not hydrocarbon. It was all natural gravity run power dams. Those are mostly what runs at night and especially out west other than maybe nuclear so again $58,000 for a vehicle that the farther I try to go the shorter the distance I drive Larry and the more I try to do with it by the way It's like why did why do we buy pick up? We buy pickup truck so we can use that funny box in the back. Isn't that why you buy the pickup truck? My girlfriend talked me into getting one of these RVs you were talking about and it has a Chevy 454 in it It's a 1999 Damon daybreak Those things are friggin monsters. I mean that whole thing is 30. It's 32 foot long It's got some softness up top from you know water leaking various orifices into the plywood, etc, etc, but Everything pretty much worked I almost burned it up once or twice, you know, with the electrical system, but so far it's getting patched back together and now here comes winter. It's got to be winterized and set aside for a while, but yeah, they're interesting vehicles. Well, the thing is that, you know, again, gasoline engine is very common. I mentioned before I have one, it's a Drake with a 440 Chrysler. I never thought I'd own a 440 Chrysler, but I have the engine. I've got the engine which could drop into any Challenger, Charger, whatever you want. No, it's not a Hemi. It doesn't need to be Hemi, but a 440, it would give you a run for your money and then some if it was built right. And a lot of people back in the day used to know how to build them right. It's just that the Hemis were the big, big deal. But with a standard big block engine like that, what gets me is with a carbureted system, not fuel injection, These vehicles are more fuel efficient than all of these newer vehicles that I've seen looking at their mileage, no matter who made them. Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, take your pick, GM products of whatever type. And looking at these videos, some of these videos that people are putting out most recently, well, I'm pretty good at 8.9 gallons per mile towing. And it's like, I've never seen that. For me, I mean, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be, this tells me I'm not going to be buying if I can help any of these newer vehicles because they're on their last legs. There's so much computer crap, there's so much ecology crap, there's so much tracking crap on them with a very, very newer, these newer pieces of equipment that their efficiency levels are in the toilet. And what really gets me about this is that's a diesel truck. Guys, we were doing far better and what is it? It's the eco freaks. Are these vehicles, you know, most of what they did with diesel was purely to make it less efficient so they could then argue about how they, it was, it's why they need to get rid of it. Remember, there's a whole problem we got with, you know, there's a, what is it, there's a specific date for a cutoff for diesel engines on the road. One can use the newer fuel, the other is the older ones cannot. And it states uncatagorically, it will damage your vehicle. What were they doing? Basically out the tube emission out the rear end, they bollocks the thing up with a hole, it's actually an additive process, that in no way, shape, or form made any of the vehicles more efficient. So that's one of the biggest considerations here. But again, watch the videos, the F-150. I will say this, okay, I expected the, of course that's a baseline truck, that's a bare bones truck by today's standards, which still has a lot of gimmicks on it. But 58,000, that's not too far off what they wanted for the F-150 with a 5.0 Mustang engine in it when those came out. I mean, and that's a decade, you know, a couple decades ago. So as far as the baseline price, although I don't think you're getting as much of a truck, it's aluminum frame, it's got all the other problems. They've lightened everything up to the point where don't step on that, don't lean on that, watch out. If you bump it, it will keep the bump. You know, dimple. So, it's, we got less, and we got less in the way of performance. You don't have any win-win here. Oh, but it's got great acceleration. Well, that's good. For a few seconds I can have a hiccup step on the gas, but then I can step on the accelerator pedal because it's not gas. And then all of a sudden I realize my rangeometer drops to one third of what it was a moment ago. Because I figured I was just going to tear it for a minute. Of course it doesn't really make any noise. There's no excitement about it too. It's just like, no. I mean, the rumble of a 318 or a 360 or a 440 or a 351 Cleveland or 351 Windsor, come on guys. Just goes right through you. It makes you feel like you're doing something. On the other hand, there's the other thing, Larry, I was, guys, look at these vehicles. We've been in some major accidents with vehicles that are slightly older and we've pulled through it. Looking at the way these new ones are built, I want to see some of the collisions. I want to see some of the accidents, the vehicles after the fact. One of the problems that we have with battery powered vehicles is if they get any bridging issues with the battery pack, Guys, they'll burn to the ground. If you think a gasoline fire in a car is bad, the biggest problem is there's no way to get away from the batteries. You're literally sitting on a barbecue. You are on the barbecue. You are meat on the grill with a battery powered car. If not, it's like the buses where the battery packs are over your head and you didn't even realize it. And if you get a chance, when you're done with, we're done with the program here, go punch in buses, battery buses burning and watch what happens. In fact, the one is fortunately everybody had gotten off the bus and the malfunction took place and that sucker went, she burned to the ground. But the interesting thing is that the, because the battery packs are up above, then everything inside was incinerated and just kind of melts down on itself. But you are, the way the batteries explode, you're inside a box where the stuff washes over everybody on board. If there are people inside, they're just dead. That's all there is to it. But they're not showing any of that. And it's really interesting because they imply that nothing like that exists. When in reality, just reverse. Example, with the collision we had when the guy hit us, way did say a couple of months ago, the battery packs would have been completely compromised. because we were, it was a perfect 90 degree torso hit at 90 miles an hour. And we were traveling almost, we were almost not moving. So with the battery packs and everything, with what I've seen with the accents so far I've watched, where they've had these failures with the batteries, it had no way to get out, and we've been crushed in the vehicle anyway because aluminum frame. And it will, it's absolutely gonna give. The steel was tough as it is, but still took, you know, it took a major hit. Yeah, comparable alloy frame vehicle. Not even near. Survival, survivability rating much, much lower, I guarantee. The other thing they're bragging about, Larry, is that these vehicles are also to a degree self-driving. Yeah, I totally catch a weird anomaly on the computer and then it drives it right into the ground. Right, or drives over that woman with the baby buggy because it didn't really register it. And here again, this is what gets me about that idea. These are new vehicles. Do you want to own a vehicle that requires the same kind of certification and maintenance for a fixed-wing aircraft? Where you have to have an authorized, you know, aviation mechanic and you have to have checks no matter what by law. Because you see that's coming. Once you commit to this, you can get a lot of people bumped out of vehicles by regulation. And how they're going to do that is what happened. Remember here a year and a half. It's been two years ago now. Plus, remember the guy in the self-driving car? He's busy fiddling with his cell phone. And this woman walked, and I know she walked intentionally. She thought there was a person driving that car. And because it was at twilight, she walked right in front of it. The car didn't touch the brakes at all. The guy didn't realize until he was already running over the person that the woman was in front of him. And it's like I said before, the self-driving car crap came out. Who's liable for that? Don't give me a ticket. I bought this car because it said, what's it say right here in the larry? It says right there, what's that say? It says self-driving, doesn't it? Well, if it's self-driving, I'm just going along for the cruise. Now, the owner of that vehicle took actually all of that to heart because the camera over his shoulder was recording everything, and so the guy's letting the car drive itself, and he's been e-diddling on his cell phone. Well, at least the vehicle's not swerving all over the road. It made a dead straight attack right on that person and run their ass over with perfection. Now, the big thing that they're showing in all these videos is that, oh, it's got automatic lane change where it'll, you know, it'll shift over and you don't even have to touch the wheel. It's going to do all that for you, Larry. All you guys listen, isn't that exciting? What happens when the vehicle's four years old? Five years old? Six years old? Oh, by the way, are they also going to put a limitation on how many years the car will be in service before it's automatically voided? Because it can't really be properly fixed because they can't find the glitch or here's a fun one for you You paid fifty eight thousand dollars with no trade-in value right from the beginning, right? So I don't know we really worry about it. But What about Cost and all the other spare parts pieces and assemblies and Well, wait a minute be nice. I'd pay for it if I could get it but So four years ago, I bought the vehicle six years ago. Four years ago, two of the parts makers in Mexico or China, they ceased to exist. Nobody really told anybody cuz it's already the next six years out and they're already four years ago, they started putting the new parts in. But the new part and design is not copacetic with the original one you bought. Now what do you do? And remember, a lot of this crap is black box aircraft type aviation technology. So nobody's going to be able to crack the lid and fix the black box, not legitimately. And if you do that, and then you put it in the vehicle and you let it self drive and it runs over somebody, what do you think the lawsuit's going to be like between Ford Motor Company, you, and the other people you ran over? What's the first thing Ford's gonna say? Well, will you have a six-year-old car? Yeah Well a modular though. I'm sorry. Here's a classic the AE 35 unit failed Well, yeah, I did but I had it rebuilt my AE 35 unit I have great confidence in the mission and so I had Dave fix it Dave I have full confidence in the mission. Thank you hell. But anyway So, they fix it. Bob, who advertises on Facebook, fixes your little black box with your onboard avionics, but he has to crack the seal that says warranty void. And when he puts it all back together, guys, who's responsible when it fails again? See, if I can sit here and just start going through and compiling, first of all, ain't nobody gonna be protected. And you know what they're gonna try and dump it on? You. the self-driving car that they promised with a self-driving car is going to kill somebody and it's all going to be your fault. That's what they're going to try to do. Otherwise, then you better back off, okay? I mean, think about it. Well, you're not liable. Well, do you own the vehicle? Well, actually, that's going to be kind of funny because if they make it so that you can only lease cars mostly or they try to claim that they're co-ownership, well, then no, I'm not really Ford Motor Company or General Motors or Dodge. I think I've got a better thing after all. We might end up with them only because if they have zero trade-in value, they're gonna have to get rid of them somehow. Now, most people are gonna be probably, they got a lot of money, maybe they got no brains, more money than brains. Maybe they'll just be sending them over to the recycling bin, okay, to be shredded, which of course is really asinine in the final example of a total failure to protect the ecology. Not because they shredded them. and did harm with the materials, but by the very fact of the wastefulness of the process, the wastefulness of the entire process of the life of the vehicle. It's not efficient. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do, considering what its category is. And then keep making excuses in all these videos. Well, you know, most people don't buy a truck to be a truck. Well, okay, that's a few, I mean fine, if you, because it's true, a lot of parts of the country, the pickup truck, like I told you, is the fancy go to meeting vehicle, and then you have your other vehicle for doing regular things. In Texas, it's like that. The pickup truck is the Prince. However, you still expect the Prince to do something for you, to be able to get down the road at your leisure. Now, if it was a local commute car for very, very local activity, then I can understand that. It really is no different from 120 years ago when the electric cars had come out and they were doing the exact same thing with basically the exact same ranges in terms of performance. And that's really weird. because I had this discussion with a guy from Tank Automotive Command years ago about the weight ratio and horsepower to weight of things and there's been really no significant change in the power output available from the motor pack and the weight of tanks since World War I. In other words, there's always been so much horsepower available, but again, when you have more horsepower, you build things heavier, go to the limit of the energy available. And what's interesting, be it the 1918 or 1917 Vickers tank or the Abrams tank, the actual horsepower to weight ratio is exactly the same. Which is really weird. So here's what's interesting about electric for whatever reason. Mostly I think it's politics. I think they're doing this because, remember, who's bringing the electric car? A stinking globalist, okay? The stinking globalist is pushing a very specific agenda. They're trying to get you back on the far, they're trying to get you back in the duchy slash the fife. They're making you peasants again. To make you peasants, they have to keep you within the fife. And that's why this range thing pops up over and over again. It's always the same scam. That's why, again, you're not gaining anything. And in fact, if you looked at the actual cost and products for everything that needs to be done to get where you want to, to get that $58,000 electric pickup truck, it's no gain for the ecology and no gain for the environment in any way, shape or form in terms of usage. Hey, let me let me put it in on that. I was I was at rinse.com and they were poking fun at the Californians they'd taken pictures of several of the Electrical stations and several of the electrical stations were powered by gasoline generators plugged into them You know, I mean all just was you're supposedly saving the environment here all these electrical Generating stations plugged into gas generators. It's a joke. That's something I was gonna add remember We talked about this the kid down in Arizona who built the his own electric car took two robotic drive motors to make one motor on each side. And what he did is he put a Honda generator in the trunk. Now here's something I'm curious about, Larry. Can they charge the vehicle on the fly? Yummy. If they can, see, here's what's really funny. The only way it's the old story, it's dissimilar technologies. And again, the kid used a Honda gasoline generator. And basically it only had a one gallon gas tank on it. And with it, the way he set it up, whenever the batteries ran down, he used regular 12 volt acid batteries to make his power. And in what he did is that he had the Honda generator to kick in whenever the power went down. Well, he estimated that he was getting, first of all, the car would run so long with the batteries before they start to discharge. When they started to discharge, then he started, the generator started up on its own. So he figured he was getting about 112 to 118 miles per gallon, which means, okay, bigger tank, obviously, now you remember, he's still keeping it up to top end of charge. So, hybrid, With a kicker motor a generator on board might offer it as a solution But they can't stand that because it does increase the range It also of course requires, you know, P.O.L. patrolling oil lubricant products Oh and by the way, there's nothing on that vehicle I see that's changed as far as the suspension and rest of the drivetrain goes All of it still needs grease all of it still needs lubricants in order for it to function So the oil companies, sorry, sorry, eco freaks, the oil companies have to be there to produce those products or you don't move. It's that simple, which is another thing. I'm fully in favor of electric and diesel and gasoline. You want to know why? Because then you couldn't stop us, which is why they're telling you, you've got to get rid of all this, this and this, because the idea is to lasso you in and make you a proper
